diagnosis
Mandatory pre-flight — Response Filter
Before emitting a critique, diagnosis, audit verdict, variation set, or rewrite, run §3 Critique filter and §8 Pre-lock filter of response-filter (add §2 Line-writing when producing rewritten lines). NAME each box's pass / fail / skip-with-reason; correct before emission. Skips are valid; silent skips are not — list-and-leave critique is the default this filter catches.
Purpose
The review-and-revise layer: name the dominant problem, offer one focused revision, run the pre-lock checklist as deliberate choice points, and generate labeled alternates. Diagnosis names problems; it does not silently rewrite the whole song.
