+# RETIRED 2026-07-09 — do NOT trust this pre-scan
+
+A 5-critic contrarian panel + a unanimous 3-LLM DTD (verdict B, HOLD) found this
+settlement pre-scan to be a **false-green**: it hand-rolled the SHA-locked DW
+settlement detectors as a single mega-prompt to a local 7B vision model, returned
+0 BLOCK / 0 NEEDS_REVIEW across 76 bird-heavy chinoiserie panels, and on row
+SY-112B the model's own prose described a clear violation while the A3 boolean was
+biased to false, single-handedly preventing the BLOCK.
+
+**Decision:** approximating a legal-exposure gate with a 7B model is the wrong
+instrument. The genuine `settlement` skill (`settlement-post-gen-vision` +
+`settlement-verdict`) is the ONLY trusted gate, and it runs at the Shopify DRAFT
+import — which is itself Steve-gated. Do not build a parallel approximate
+adjudicator.
+
+State: the 8h detached job was killed; all `settlement_verdict`/`settlement_reason`
+values were cleared to NULL in fromental_catalog / gracie_catalog / zuber_catalog
+(no false data persists). The columns remain (NULL) for the REAL gate to populate
+at import time if desired.
