+### Decision log — check both directions
+
+Before committing, ask two questions, not one.
+
+**Does this need a new record?** Anything non-obvious: a tradeoff, a workaround,
+a convention, a "why X and not Y". The test is whether a reader six months from
+now would ask why it is like this. If the commit message is explaining a
+decision, that decision belongs in `decisions/` where it is findable, not only
+in `git log`. Record it in the same commit, not as a follow-up.
+
+**Does this INVALIDATE an existing record?** This is the half that gets missed,
+and it is the more dangerous one. A record asserting a property the code no
+longer has is worse than no record: it is a claim a maintainer will act on.
+Grep `decisions/` for the mechanism you are changing before you commit.
+
+Both failed in one session, on the same change:
+
+* A decision record claimed "the frame-registry generation is untouched because
+  the parked slot stops re-registering once it stops laying out." It reasoned
+  about the outgoing direction only. The returning direction was broken —
+  silently, for exactly the screens the change optimised for — and the record
+  said it was fine.
+* Source comments elsewhere stated invariants the same change inverted:
+  `MobLazyList`'s latch reasoned that "only navigation changes the container's
+  identity", which had just stopped being true.
+
+When you correct a record, correct it **in place** with a note saying what was
+wrong, rather than quietly deleting the claim. The wrong version is the part a
+future reader needs to recognise, and `decisions/` is append-only for
+superseding whole decisions, not for silently editing away a mistake inside one.
+
+### Adversarial review — before the commit, by a subagent
+
+**Non-trivial work gets an adversarial review before it is committed.** Spawn a
+subagent, point it at the actual diff, and tell it to find defects rather than
+to approve. Act on what it finds, then commit.
+
+It must be a **separate agent**, not a re-read of your own work. The thing that
+is wrong is usually the author's mental model of the change, and that model is
+exactly what a self-review carries into the second pass.
+
+Give the reviewer: the diff to read (`git diff <base>..HEAD`, and the base
+explicitly, since a diverged local branch will otherwise sweep in the whole
+tree), what the change claims to do, and the specific things you are least sure
+about. Tell it to cite `file:line` for every finding, to rank them
+blocking / should-fix / nitpick, and to separate what it verified in source from
+what it is reasoning about platform semantics. Ask it to say plainly if the
+change is sound rather than inventing problems — but only after it has looked
+hard.
+
+**Skip it for** mechanical or trivial changes: formatting, a typo, a version
+bump, a changelog edit, moving a file. Reach for it when the change has
+behaviour, touches native code, or spans a platform boundary.
+
+This is not ceremony. In one session, pre-commit reviews caught the following
+in `mob` — the examples are from there because that is where the session ran,
+and this repo builds and deploys exactly that native code — each of which would
+otherwise have shipped:
+
+* a helper defined inside `#if !MOB_RELEASE` but called unconditionally from
+  Swift, which linked in debug and would have failed **every iOS release
+  build**;
+* a cache whose tests asserted the write path and nothing about the read, so
+  deleting the lookup, or reading under a constant key, passed the whole suite;
+* a fix that covered 3 of 7 call sites on one platform while claiming parity
+  with the other;
+* a comment and a decision record asserting a race was closed when the code
+  only narrowed it;
+* generated source telling every user that a feature does nothing, in the
+  release that made it work.
+
+The one substantial change that skipped review that session was the largest one
+in the batch. Do not let size be the reason to skip.
