[VeroxAUS]

Phase 0 review found a release checkout failure, missing render and scheduled-sync evidence, and a deletion-only handoff-check bypass. No implementation changes.

• Read all Phase 0 handoffs, roadmap Phase 0, cited fork/architecture guidance, manifest, relevant final-review briefs, and the named PR diffs (6–10, including deliberate red PR 8). Reviewed the cumulative code diff from v0.1.3 for the earlier steps. No implementation fixes made.

• From each owning package, ran /home/verox/src/t3code-phase-0/node_modules/.bin/vp test run <paths>: contracts src/settings.test.ts → 30 passed; shared src/projectSettings.test.ts → 21 passed; desktop src/updates → 63 passed; server src/telemetry src/cloud → 22 files / 190 tests passed; scripts overlay-check.test.ts → 6 passed; routing src → 1 passed. Server and scripts fixtures initially hit sandbox EPERM; their authorized reruns passed.

• node scripts/overlay-check.ts --base v0.1.3 → pass, 20 upstream overlay files reconciled. Compared rg -l '// overlay:' outside docs with the manifest: all 17 marked paths match; remaining three entries are package JSON files and the lockfile. Current tree markers and manifest agree.

• gh pr checks 7 → overlay-check pass; gh pr checks 8 → overlay-check fail. Inspected the named successful manual sync run and failed release run rather than dispatching either.

• gh api repos/VeroxAUS/t3code/branches/overlay%2Fmain/protection → required overlay-check (app 15368), PR required, admins enforced, force pushes and deletions disabled. gh repo view --json defaultBranchRef → overlay/main.

• Settings tests prove old-file defaults, nested project merge and exclusion of global telemetry/limits. New settings fields have decoding defaults. Promoted overlay: phase 0 fixes — remove temporary sync cron (part 2) #17 is implemented; overlay: phase 0b review — PR #24 and phase exit criteria #26 is recorded as set to Haiku 5.5 by the developer in the complete handoff's action result, despite its stale unchecked checklist item.

• No provider instruction/tool-description runtime text changed; eval requirement does not apply to the planning prompts. No adapter/session, privilege-ceiling, ledger/replay or budget enforcement code changed in Phase 0. No database migrations were added. Upstream round-trip preservation of unknown settings is not established by the Phase 0 tests and remains a final settings-migration review concern.

• Surface review: strip is mounted in ChatComposer, covering web and desktop; mobile has no port in this phase's explicit strip-port scope. No mutation entry points, RPC contracts or provider adapters changed. Primary-environment-only quota display is an explicit accepted limitation in the step-7 handoff. No browser or computer-use verification performed, following the complete handoff's latest answer.

• uname -r → WSL2; node --version → v26.12.1; vp --version → v1.4.0. Historical dev-server HTTP 200 evidence is in steps 0/4; not rerun because the latest handoff defers the integrated dev pass to the fix thread. Install was not repeated. No repo-wide checks were run in this review; prior changed-check results are historical evidence rather than independently reconstructed executions.

• Review validation: vp run check:changed compared against origin/main and passed lint, both knip checks, GraphQL, affected typechecks and 7 test files / 108 tests; its initial format failure was corrected with vp fmt docs/overlay/handoffs/phase-0-review.md. The final check uses origin/overlay/main as the appropriate review base.
