Summary

Augments the /goal step 5b cheap inner-review tier instruction (commands/goal.md) so the Haiku reviewer subagent gets three concrete directives instead of a vague "fresh eyes" idiom (too weak to steer a small model):

  1. Anti-anchoring — judge the diff on its own merits; do not assume it is correct just because it was written in the same session (the guard against rubber-stamping).
  2. Exploratory framing — actively hunt acceptance-criteria gaps and convention violations; gate2 is authoritative, so a false positive is cheap while a miss is costly → bias toward searching.
  3. Evidence-grounded findings — cite file:line and the concrete failure mode.

Scope

Wording-only. No behavioral / flag / state changes: gate2 (5c) remains the authoritative gate, the inner pass stays a cheap pre-filter (empty findings still backstopped by gate2), and the directives are model-agnostic (apply whether the inner-review model is haiku or an override).

Closes #81

directives instead of relying on a vague "fresh eyes" idiom (too weak to
steer a small model like haiku):

   correct just because it was written in the same session (the guard
   against rubber-stamping)
2. exploratory framing — actively hunt acceptance-criteria gaps and
