With the PRODUCT.md skip fixed, the Opus smoke unmasked the adjacent
gap: the model builds a new world and never writes DESIGN.md (zero
attempts), so the worker's requiresDesign assertion correctly fails the
run. Same disease, same treatment: DESIGN.md is now part of recording
the decision, written before the first build edit in the same stretch
as the direction contract, and the finishing reviewer checks
persistence first, before any craft point is scored.
