Assess Patch Risk

Before choosing paths or saving retained output, read ../../references/artifact-storage.md and follow its storage policy.

Explain what can change if the patch merges and whether the available evidence supports merging it. Keep these concepts separate:

• impact if wrong: the consequence and blast radius of a regression;
• regression likelihood: how likely the patch is to cause one;
• regression protection: whether relevant tests or checks would detect it;
• recoverability: how safely the change can be disabled or reverted; and
• confidence: how complete and reliable the analysis is.

Read references/risk-rubric.md before assigning ratings or an auto-merge label.
