Documentation impact

Match the documentation to the behavior people will use. Inspect the actual change and its callers before deciding which docs need work. A supported no-change conclusion is a complete result.

Choose the mode and scope

Use author when the task authorizes documentation updates. Use review for an audit, independent review, status request, or other read-only task. Honor the caller's mode. If update authority is unclear, inspect and report in review mode.

• In author mode, update affected documentation within the authorized change. Leave unrelated edits alone.
• In review mode, inspect without editing the artifact you judge. Return findings to its author. Do not fix a document and certify your own fix.

The calling workflow owns delegation, model selection, continuation, and human gates. Do not spawn another coordinator or start a publication workflow here.

Use the accepted request, issue, or existing work brief. Do not require a new spec, ticket, docs tree, or work ledger.

Bind the pass to what you actually examine:
