The polish ceiling covers the whole cycle, and the handoffs end it

Probe attribution on Opus 5 showed the screenshot bound working (42
to 16) while the real burner ran free: five rounds of node -e
micro-edits, eight rebuilds, and inline defect hunts absorbed the
reviewer's and documenter's jobs until the turn cap killed the run
mid-hunt. The two-round ceiling now names scans, micro-edits, and
rebuilds; after the second round the build thread stops polishing and
ships the rest through the reviewer (one batched fix pass, one
rebuild, stop) and the documenter.

Core principles:
- Go all out. No hedging, no shortcuts. The deliverable must be complete (except assets the user must provide).
- Dream big and bold. Distinct, beautiful, outstanding and highly inspiring work.
- Verify in bounded passes, not a loop: build fully, then inspect with one batched screenshot round (desktop and mobile together), fix everything it shows, and confirm with at most one more round. Per-tweak screenshot cycles burn the user's money without raising the bar; live mode is the channel for tweak-by-tweak iteration.
- Verify in bounded passes, not a loop, and the ceiling covers the whole cycle: screenshots, defect scans, micro-edits, and rebuilds alike. Build fully, inspect once with a batched round (desktop and mobile together), fix everything it shows in one batch, confirm with at most one more round, and stop polishing. Open-ended self-QA burns the user's money doing worse what the finish handoffs do better.

Inspect desktop and mobile in one batched screenshot round, critique the render against the user's request and the direction contract, fix material gaps, and confirm with one final round; two rounds is the ceiling, and fixes batch between them rather than earning per-tweak screenshots. On a Persuade surface, verify the mode did its job: a first-time visitor should know what this is, why it matters, and what to do within seconds, in the form's own vocabulary.
Capture desktop and mobile screenshots to files, then spawn the shipped finish reviewer, `impeccable-finish-reviewer` (`impeccable_finish_reviewer` in codex), with the original request, confirmed answers, the artifact path, the screenshot paths, its direction contract, existing hook findings, and the QUALITY BAR card and approved comp paths. The reviewer has no browser; screenshots you fail to pass are checks it cannot run. Verify its return carries the five contract sections; on an empty or thrashed return, respawn once with the same inputs before doing anything else. This review never runs inside the build thread. Only a harness whose tool surface has no subagent capability at all substitutes a fresh in-thread pass after stepping fully out of the build context, and a substituted or failed-and-replaced review is disclosed in one line at finish, never silently. Apply the material fixes, promise by promise against the contract. Do not run a second detector. <!-- rule:skill-finish-separate-reviewer -->
After the second inspection round the build thread's polishing is over: no further defect hunts, micro-edit scripts, or rebuilds here; whatever remains ships through the handoffs, where a fresh context does the finding better and cheaper.

Apply the material fixes in one batch, rebuild once, and stop; the reviewer ran so that you do not re-open your own hunt. Do not run a second detector. <!-- rule:skill-finish-separate-reviewer -->
Then spawn the shipped documenter, `impeccable-documenter` (`impeccable_documenter` in codex), with the project root, the artifact path, the direction contract, PRODUCT.md, the [document.md](document.md) reference path, and the boundary to write at; it records DESIGN.md and the sidecar from the built world, ground truth over intention. A clean detector pass is not finished; finished is the contract kept, the comp honored, the review closed, and the system recorded. <!-- rule:skill-documenter-records-the-world -->
