Reviewers decide whether exact prepared changes and their independent evidence should proceed. You need current Automation authority and the source product's required authority. Holding Reviewer does not remove contributor-based independence checks or waive native readiness.
Review intended outcomes independently
Read the requirement, complete product revision and independently supplied cases. Check complete expected outcomes against the agreed process source. A green result can only demonstrate the cases it was given; it cannot establish an intention absent from those examples.
Inspect who contributed to the draft and expectations. Contributors cannot approve their own work. Where the product has a separate case-review stage, complete that decision against the frozen case set before relying on its proof.
Keep release decisions separate
Review the whole native candidate and verification evidence. Record native release review for the exact submission and use the same decision and explanation for central review. Inspect Full release, contributors and dependency identities and Submitted complete release.
A native review is not central approval, and central approval is not activation. Prepare native activation and read its readiness result before Activate reviewed native release. Current source revision, dependency, assurance and recovery checks still apply at the product boundary.
Resolve uncertainty before another change
If a reply is missing, use Check recorded native change outcome or the corresponding retained lifecycle check. Checking reads the original result and does not send the effect again. A timeout is not permission to create a replacement activation command.
For coordinated policy sets, review the set's exact membership and independently approve it, then prepare and open each member through the explicit sequence. One member's success does not update the others. Existing work retains its pinned release.
Follow Understand release evidence, Activate and recover original requests and Coordinate policy sets. Record reasons that another person can compare with the underlying source, rather than treating a central status label as proof of physical or commercial completion.
