Round detection is automatic — the protocol infers the current round from whichever input blocks are present. You can override this entirely by supplying CURRENT_ROUND explicitly, in which case no inference happens at all. When CURRENT_ROUND is absent, the protocol applies the rules below in strict priority order.

Detection Rules

PriorityConditionOutcome
1CURRENT_ROUND is explicitly providedUse that value exactly — no inference
2Neither PREVIOUS_ROUND_OUTPUT nor MEMORY_NOTE is presentRound 1
3Prior material is present and contains explicit round numberscurrent = max(prior round numbers) + 1
4Prior material is present but no round numbers are visibleRound 2
Rules are evaluated top to bottom. The first matching condition determines the round; the remaining rules are not checked.

What Changes Between Rounds

The round number controls two things: how findings are labeled, and whether a MERGE STATUS block appears in the output. Round 1
  • Every finding is labeled INDEPENDENT.
  • No MERGE STATUS block is produced.
  • The reviewer performs one full review of ORIGINAL_ARTIFACT with no reference to prior output.
Round 2+
  • The reviewer first writes an independent review of ORIGINAL_ARTIFACT without consulting prior output. Only after that step is complete does it check prior findings.
  • Findings are labeled INDEPENDENT, CONFIRMED, CHALLENGED, or NEW depending on whether they match, contradict, or extend prior work.
  • A MERGE STATUS block appears at the end of the output with four fields: confirmed_fixes_ready, challenged_items, new_fixes, and conflicts.
See Output Format for the full field definitions of both blocks.

Round Label Reference

LabelAppears inMeaning
INDEPENDENTRound 1 and Round 2+Finding produced without reference to prior output
CONFIRMEDRound 2+ onlyPrior finding re-observed and validated in this round
CHALLENGEDRound 2+ onlyPrior finding rejected, overstated, duplicated, or weak
NEWRound 2+ onlyFinding not present in prior output
Supply CURRENT_ROUND explicitly whenever you want to reset the counter, force a repeat of Round 1 on revised content, or prevent ambiguity when prior material contains inconsistent or missing round numbers. It is the most reliable way to control round behavior.
