# Change log: Corvid revision 2 (orchestrator)

Base: `corvid/revised/`, left unchanged. Decisions: `corvid/triage-round2.md`.

## Cover letter
- **Opening (R5a):** now uses the blog's own wording: "which disagreements are grader errors and which are rater errors."
- **Relay:**
  - Split into two paragraphs (V9).
  - Now states the 300-message count (E5, which reverses the brief).
  - The hidden-context sentence is cut. The résumé carries it (R9).
- **Invited Varrow talk:** restored as one sentence (E2, which reverses my revision 1 cut).
- **Gap sentences:** the RL/training gap and the text-not-trajectories gap now come together and early, so the letter no longer ends on a limitation (E9).
- **Parallel paragraph (R2):** now names two possible sources of disagreement. One is a judge that scores a property unreliably, as in Relay. The other is a grader that does not score the route at all.
- **Approach paragraph (R3):** now samples agreed as well as disputed trajectories, across task lengths. It adds a third category, a task specification that allows both readings.
- **Kestrel paragraph (R6, R8):** restores the deploy-because-ready framing and adds the parallel check against outcomes after deployment.
- **New closing paragraph (R4/E3):** ties the postdoc participant pool to Corvid's staff-only human baseline. It claims no agent-versus-human study.
- **Header:** https:// added to the site address.
- **Length:** 541 words. One page, with text ending at 83% of the page. About six lines are free for Jordan's two answers.

## Résumé
- **Order:** Education, Skills, Experience, Talks, Publications and working papers (V3). The PhD and Python are now on page 1.
- **Experience headers:** split into a bold title line and an italic "Employer | Month YYYY to Month YYYY" line (V1). Dates use "to", not a dash (rule 6).
- **Relay and the pricing rehearsal:** moved from Projects into the Independent Researcher entry (E1, V4). The rehearsal is cut to one bullet that keeps its simulation-only caveat (E8).
- **Kestrel:** the measure rebuild now leads (E6).
- **Cut:** "Mentored two analysts informally" and the self-produced walkthrough, along with its "Other work" heading (E8).
- **Renamed:** "Papers" is now "Publications and working papers" (V4b).
- **Typography:** headings are larger and ruled. Jordan's name is bold in author lists. Page 2 has a footer with name and page number (V5, V6a, V7).

## Checks run
- The editorial script was rerun against `revised-2/`:
  - 0 dashes, semicolons, contractions, banned words, and British spellings.
  - One serif family, black only.
  - Letter is 1 page. Résumé is 2 pages, with page 2 body ending at about a quarter of the page.
  - The script's "PDF text matches .txt" check now reports False because of the page-2 footer. That is expected.
- PDF text layer extracted with PyMuPDF. The reading order is linear, and each title, employer, and date sits on its own line. This is the first check of the actual text layer.

Not done: no agent has reviewed revision 2. The factual reviewer saw only the author's first draft. The evidence reviewer checked revision 1 against the record and found no misstatements.
