Source: strict re-review C-24
Verdict: DISPUTE - by design, closing

Claim as reviewed

Deep verify is designed to fall through to manual UAT if unavailable, so automated verification availability is not a completion invariant.

At HEAD `f354864` (v3.3.0)

Accurate, and the review itself calls this "good fail-visible behavior".

Note

Falling through to a human with the reason named is the correct degradation for a verifier that could not run. The alternative - blocking a phase because a reviewer was unreachable - trades a visible manual step for a hard stop.

Not a defect.
