1. Most cost: turning the brief’s probes into files. They sit in fenced blocks inside other briefs, so I wrote an awk extractor and read three briefs to find which output each probe wanted. After that, five small probe programs narrowed the NK2302 down to returning a view-holding value through an if or match. The rebuild took about 2 minutes, and it was needed.
2. What I looked up:
   • The shape of Scalar and that text() returns owned text. The brief says both “value through text()” and “views, not .clone()d”. Those conflict for a Value::Str, and the brief should have settled it, for example with an owned text field beside the view.
   • D7’s wording (“scalar (style, raw text)”).
   • The fields of Node.
   • No converter, since this is no move.
3. Checks:
   • Useful: the pre-flight probes, fmt on a scratch copy, a one-file check, a check of HEAD’s file (which showed NK1127 was a cascade), and the minimal shape probes.
   • Wasted: none, really. The package tests and the bless were rightly never reached.
4. Something you should know: I moved the local wip/y21-events ref with git update-ref (0433d662 → 1c1199d6) so the fix would not be lost. I did not delete the branch, but “leave a wip/* branch where it is” can fairly be read as “don’t move it”. If that was not wanted, the old commit is still 0433d662.
5. One change:
   • Put the pre-flight probes in the brief itself, inline, each with its wanted output, rather than in other briefs.
   • When the draft hits a view-checker refusal, the brief (or builder.md) should name the first diagnostic step: run the failing shape as return x and as let r = x; return r. That one pair would have reached this defect, and the y24–y26 ones, in two probes.
   • Better still, the architect’s probe of the whole draft should run check on it before sending a builder, so all the view-checker defects show up in one batch rather than one run at a time.
