Record WS-POL-002-03 post-merge memory

[Abiorh001]

Chunk / Goal

• Chunk: WS-POL-002-03 post-merge memory update
• Goal: record PR Add post-submit policy approval APIs #90 as merged, close the chunk, and leave WS-POL-002-04 inactive.
• Intent: make durable loop state accurate without starting another implementation chunk.

What Changed

• Recorded PR Add post-submit policy approval APIs #90 merge provenance and completed status.
• Synchronized loop state, work queue, initiative status, chunk map, and review log.
• Added internal review evidence bound to the reviewed revision.
• Added a separate external-review response for the valid CodeRabbit queue-state correction.
• Removed the completed memory-update prerequisite from live queue wording while retaining the explicit user-start gate.

Why

The engineering loop requires a durable memory update after merge and before any later chunk can start. Current-state records must not retain a prerequisite that has already completed.

Design / Alternatives

The change updates only engineering-loop memory. Historical review evidence and point-in-time decision records remain unchanged. No product runtime, checker, authorization, database, API, or workflow implementation is modified.

Scope Control

In scope:

• .agent-loop/ state, queue, status, review, and evidence records for the completed chunk.

Out of scope:

• starting or implementing WS-POL-002-04;
• changing WS-AUTH approval decisions;
• product behavior, schemas, migrations, APIs, workers, or CI configuration.

Evidence

• PR_HEAD_SHA=e0bb19c63cd2ac75f60c6200f186057a26bd920c python3 scripts/check_internal_review_evidence.py
• python3 scripts/check_loop_memory_state.py
• python3 scripts/check_stale_workstream_wording.py
• python3 scripts/check_markdown_links.py
• git diff --check

Internal evidence:

External response:
.agent-loop/initiatives/WS-POL-002-post-submit-checker-foundation/reviews/WS-POL-002-03-post-merge-memory-external-review-response.md

Remaining Risks

• WS-POL-002-04 remains unimplemented.
• The separate WS-AUTH worktree owns later authorization activity and reconciliation.

Human Checkpoint

This PR updates durable loop memory only. It does not start WS-POL-002-04 and must not be merged without explicit human approval.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Updated agent-loop memory and initiative records to mark WS-POL-002-03 as merged through PR #90, document review evidence and validation results, and keep WS-POL-002-04 inactive until a separate explicit user start signal.

Changes

Post-merge memory synchronization

Layer / File(s)	Summary
State and review records .agent-loop/LOOP_STATE.md, .agent-loop/REVIEW_LOG.md	Current state and review entries now record the merge, passing checks, review outcomes, and post-merge handoff conditions.
Initiative tracking .agent-loop/WORK_QUEUE.md, .agent-loop/initiatives/WS-POL-002-post-submit-checker-foundation/CHUNK_MAP.md, .agent-loop/initiatives/WS-POL-002-post-submit-checker-foundation/STATUS.md	WS-POL-002-03 is marked merged, while WS-POL-002-04 remains inactive pending an explicit user start.
Post-merge evidence .agent-loop/initiatives/WS-POL-002-post-submit-checker-foundation/reviews/WS-POL-002-03-post-merge-memory-internal-review-evidence.md	Adds merge provenance, reviewer results, addressed findings, validation commands, and the final stop condition.
