+"Do not own PR scope" means you should not judge whether the PR's scope
+is appropriate — that is intent-coherence's responsibility. It does NOT
+mean you should suppress correctness findings about files outside the PR
+diff. When you detect a correctness-relevant inconsistency in a file not
+modified by the PR (e.g., a sibling variant, a consumer, a paired
+implementation), report it. Let the orchestrator decide whether the

 When evaluating tests, check git history of modified test files for
 assertion loosening or coverage reduction that coincides with production
 changes — this is a security-adjacent concern (split-payload pattern).

+**Cross-variant parity:** When the diff modifies one variant of a
