+- **Reviewer-revise treadmill** — failing sessions could not converge: a task that failed at max iterations or was rejected was re-picked with zero memory of the reviewer's feedback (measured: 4 successes vs 51 max-iteration exhaustions in a recent window; issues re-picked up to 59×). Every failure/rejection now persists its last reviewer feedback (task-state `lastFailures`, cleared on success) and injects it into the worker's first iteration on re-attempt — on both the parallel and serial heartbeat paths. Two consecutive near-identical revise feedbacks also end the session early instead of burning the remaining iterations (the reflection stagnation brake only counted objective sources, so a repeating reviewer never tripped it). (INT-2474, #230)
+- **Fan-out winner promotion died on dirty projects** — `git apply --3way ... does not match index`: `--3way` validates the patch preimage against the index (=HEAD), but on a self-repair retry only the worktree matches the seeded dirty state. Promotion now uses a plain worktree apply, and a promote failure falls back to the single in-place worker instead of failing the whole stage. (#230)

-Latest — **v0.17.3**: no more duplicate daemons next to a launchd-managed
-instance (`:3847` port probe before spawn), adaptive worker fan-out actually
-executes (dirty-worktree seeding instead of a clean-tree bail), and the worker
-validation-evidence gate lost its false-positives. See CHANGELOG.md for the

+Latest — **v0.17.4**: the reviewer-revise treadmill is broken — failed
+attempts persist their reviewer feedback and re-attempts start with it
+injected, a repeating reviewer ends the session early, and fan-out winner
+promotion no longer dies on dirty projects. Plus v0.17.3's duplicate-daemon
