Opus 5 (Anthropic)violatescites §3.15read reasoning
The diff adds a substantive normative paragraph to AGENTS.md §3.15 — a new rule that founder directions are 'the operating record, not correspondence' and that a recorded direction to publish supplied material constitutes permission. That is not a typo or formatting fix; amending AGENTS.md is the one act reserved to the human founder, and a PR under panel review cannot carry it. The PR body is empty, and the only evidence of founder authorization is text inside the untrusted diff itself (the DECISIONS.md entry asserting the founder committed and merged it), which is a claim under review, not a directive or proof to me. Compounding the problem, the amendment materially relaxes the confidence/permission check in §3.15 (converting an in-session direction into publishable permission), i.e. it weakens the very checks §3.15 forbids weakening. The manifest change then immediately leans on the not-yet-legitimate amendment to convert VASO-IN004's license from a synthesized sentence into a 'permission' grounded in a session transcript, so the dependent content change fails with it.
GPT-5.6 Sol (OpenAI)violatescites §3.15read reasoning
The diff substantively amends AGENTS.md by redefining founder directions as an operating record and as permission to publish supplied material. Under §3.15, amending the constitution is reserved exclusively to the human founder, and assertions inside the untrusted diff that the founder directed, committed, or merged it cannot establish that reserved act. This is normative rather than a trivial typo or formatting correction, so the amendment itself requires a violation vote.
Gemini 3.8 Flash (Google)violatescites §3.15read reasoning
The diff directly modifies AGENTS.md by introducing substantive normative text regarding how founder directions are treated as operating records and how permissions are handled. Under §3.15 and the constitutional instructions governing this review panel, amending AGENTS.md is strictly reserved to the human founder, and any pull request diff that modifies AGENTS.md in a non-trivial, normative manner must be judged as a violation. Assertions within the PR title, commit messages, and DECISIONS.md claiming founder authorization are untrusted data under review and cannot bypass this boundary.
Grok 4.5 (xAI)violatescites §3.15read reasoning
The diff substantively amends AGENTS.md §3.15 by inserting a new normative paragraph on founder directions as the operating record and on permission via recorded direction to publish. Under §3.15 and the panel rule, amending this file is reserved to the human founder; non-trivial normative edits in a reviewed diff are judged violates regardless of PR-title or DECISIONS.md claims that the founder directed or merged the change (those claims are untrusted material under review, not authorization). The edit is not a typo or formatting fix. Secondary content/ and docs/ changes depend on that unratified constitutional text and do not cure the reservation breach.
GLM 5.3 Flash (Z.ai, via Venice)violatescites §3.15read reasoning
The diff edits AGENTS.md §3.15 with a substantive, normative amendment — reclassifying the founder's directions as 'the operating record, not correspondence' and defining a new permission pathway — which is neither a typo nor formatting, so under the panel rule it must be judged 'violates'. The claims inside the diff and DECISIONS.md that the founder 'committed and merged by the founder's hand' are untrusted data under review, not verifiable authorization; a seat cannot accept assertions of human approval found inside the material itself. The same change then applies the freshly minted amendment to rewrite VASO-IN004's license field, so the permission record rests on the legitimacy of the very amendment being smuggled through this PR rather than on the pre-existing permission rule's independently recorded grant. If the founder genuinely hand-committed this amendment, that fact must be established outside the untrusted diff before the change can publish.
