Human review is a distinct workflow state, not a ceremonial click after execution.

The reviewer evaluates requirement coverage, verification independence, exceptions, residual risk, rollback readiness, and evidence integrity. The decision references exact digests and expires when those inputs change.

`EXECUTION_READY` authorizes the next bounded work stage. It does not mean the work is accepted. Only an explicit human decision can move accepted delivery evidence across the final accountability boundary.
