# Referee Verdict: add-outputs-retention

## Status: PASS

## Artifacts reviewed

- SPEC.md, IMPLEMENTATION.md, CODE_REVIEW.md, BUG_REPORT.md, ADVERSARIAL_BUG_REPORT.md, DOC_REVIEW.md

## Phase gates satisfied

All 8 required artifacts present. Pipeline driven: research → implement → code_review → bug_find → adversarial_bug_find → doc_review → referee.

## Acceptance

- R1-R5 all satisfied. GC runs inside `_loop_lock` after step 10. 0 = unlimited. Non-int/negative handled gracefully. No new deps.
- Off-by-one bug (`cutoff = max_seen - retention` → `cutoff = max_seen - retention + 1`) caught inline by test. Fixed before full suite.
- 482 passed (469 + 13 new, 0 regressions). Docs in sync (CHANGELOG, technical.md, functional.md).
- Adversarial probes: float truncation (3.14→3), bool True→1, string "inf"→20 (WARNING), non-tick files preserved, missing dir safe. All deterministic documented behavior.

## Verdict

PASS — task complete. Approve transition to complete.
