Summary

Corrective actions from #527 (quality-mgr's own RCA on Sprint Q.3's fabricated AC4 finding, which blocked the cycle for hours on a standard that never existed in the sprint doc):

  • req-qa.md: any Blocking finding asserting an unmet acceptance criterion must quote the literal AC text (file:line), not a paraphrase.
  • quality-mgr.md: quality-mgr must independently read the cited AC lines in the authoritative sprint doc before relaying an acceptance-criteria Blocking finding as a merge-gating FAIL.

Docs-only change to agent prompt files; no code paths affected.

Closes #527.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

req-qa's Q3-QA2-001 finding cited an "expected external-service stop
(the human-authorized-publication gate)" standard that did not exist
anywhere in the sprint doc or any agent definition, blocking Sprint
Q.3 for hours. quality-mgr relayed it as a merge-gating FAIL without
independently checking the cited text against the sprint doc.

- req-qa.md: any Blocking finding asserting an unmet acceptance
  criterion must quote the literal AC text (file:line), not a
  paraphrase.
- quality-mgr.md: quality-mgr must itself read the cited AC lines in
  the authoritative sprint doc before relaying an acceptance-criteria
  Blocking finding as a merge-gating FAIL.

Corrective actions from gh issue #527 (quality-mgr's own RCA).
