Review cycles

Round	Critic	Outcome	Findings → disposition → commit	Duration / usage
1	[codex/gpt-6.1-sol]	unavailable: codex did not finish within the 900 s limit, so no output. Does not count toward criticReviewCount.	—	900.1 s, no usage reported
2	[codex/gpt-6.1-sol] (retry, --timeout 1800, prompt narrowed to the code diff)	1 new finding, none repeated	(1) correctness/medium: the OS-user default was not stripped, so LOGNAME=" alice " passed validation and then failed in h11 as an illegal header value, past the fail-closed exit → will-fix → 7bb154d (strip like the flag; unit cases " alice " → alice, " " → refused, red→green)	28.3 s; 30,333 input / 906 output tokens, 132,480 cache-read

Findings and reply: PR #21 comment. The policy's one critic round is met by round 2. Its single finding is fixed, and no finding repeated a self-review one, so there is no escalation.
