APM Review Panel - Fan-Out Advisory Review

The panel is FAN-OUT + SYNTHESIZER. Each persona runs in its own agent thread (via the task tool) and returns JSON matching assets/panelist-return-schema.json. The orchestrator schema-validates each return, hands all returns to the apm-ceo synthesizer (also a task thread, returns JSON matching assets/ceo-return-schema.json), then renders ONE recommendation comment from assets/recommendation-template.md.

This skill is ADVISORY by design. It does not compute a binary verdict, it does not apply verdict labels, and it does not gate merge. The panel surfaces findings; the maintainer and the PR author decide ship.
