Each pass of pa_pvp mini on an artifact constitutes a round. Rounds do not restart the review — they accumulate evidence. Round 1 establishes an independent baseline. Every subsequent round compares a fresh independent review against all prior findings, closing confirmed issues, disputing weak ones, and surfacing anything the earlier round missed. The output of each round is designed to be handed directly to the next reviewer, carrying full context without requiring shared memory or session continuity.

​
Round 1

Round 1 is a clean independent review using only the ORIGINAL_ARTIFACT as source material. No prior review output, no carry-over context, and no assumptions from earlier sessions are considered. The reviewer produces up to five structural findings. If fewer than five valid findings exist, it returns fewer — there is no minimum. All findings produced in Round 1 are labeled INDEPENDENT, reflecting that they were reached without reference to any external review. The ROUND header for Round 1 looks like this: 
ROUND:
- current_round: 1
- round_mode: ROUND 1
Round 1 does not produce a Merge Status block. That section only appears starting in Round 2.

​
Round 2+

Round 2 and every subsequent round execute in three strictly ordered phases. The reviewer must not advance to a later phase before the earlier one is complete. Phase 1 — Independent review. The reviewer reads ORIGINAL_ARTIFACT from scratch and produces its own findings without consulting the prior round’s output. This is intentional: the reviewer must not be anchored to another AI’s conclusions before forming its own. Phase 2 — Audit prior findings. After completing its independent review, the reviewer examines PREVIOUS_ROUND_OUTPUT (and MEMORY_NOTE if present). It confirms findings that hold up, challenges findings that are invalid, overstated, duplicated, or weak, and identifies any important problems that the prior round missed entirely. Phase 3 — Merge Status. The reviewer produces a merged fix status that consolidates the results of the two phases into an actionable summary. See Merge Status below. The ROUND header for a Round 2+ session looks like this: 
ROUND:
- current_round: 2
- round_mode: ROUND 2+
Every finding in Round 2+ carries one of four labels:
LabelMeaning
INDEPENDENTFound by the current reviewer before consulting the prior round
CONFIRMEDPrior finding that the current independent review also supports
CHALLENGEDPrior finding that the current review disputes as invalid, overstated, or weak
NEWProblem not present in prior output, identified for the first time this round

​
Round Detection

The protocol determines which round is active in the following order:
  1. Explicit override. If CURRENT_ROUND is provided, that value is used exactly. No inference is performed.
  2. No prior material. If neither PREVIOUS_ROUND_OUTPUT nor MEMORY_NOTE is present, Round 1 is used.
  3. Prior material with round numbers. If PREVIOUS_ROUND_OUTPUT contains explicit round numbers, the current round is set to the highest previous round number plus one.
  4. Prior material without round numbers. If prior material is present but no round number can be found within it, Round 2 is used.
For full rules and edge cases, see Round Detection.

​
Merge Status

The Merge Status block appears only in Round 2+. It consolidates the outcome of the independent review and the prior-round audit into four named fields: 
MERGE STATUS (ROUND 2+ ONLY):
- confirmed_fixes_ready: [fix_id] [one-line reason]
- challenged_items: [finding_id or fix_id] [why challenged] [replacement if any]
- new_fixes: [fix_id] [one-line reason]
- conflicts: [finding_id] [independent review position] [prior audit position]
  • confirmed_fixes_ready — fixes from prior material that held up under the current review and are ready to apply.
  • challenged_items — prior findings or fixes that the current round disputes, with the reason and any replacement.
  • new_fixes — fixes for problems found this round that had no presence in the prior output.
  • conflicts — direct contradictions between the current independent review and the prior audit. Conflicts must be declared explicitly and are never silently resolved. An unresolved conflict is more useful than a quiet override, because it tells the next reviewer exactly where the two passes diverged.
