Add the no-hardcoded-tunables convention and its review check
A number or string that two reasonable deployments could want set differently — a timeout, grace period, output cap, result-count limit, model name, base URL — belongs on the plugin's schemastery Config with the shipped value as its default, not in a bare literal or module constant. A DEFAULT_* constant or a test-only injection seam is not configurability: the test is whether a cordis.yml deployment can change the value without a code edit. Protocol/wire constants, semantic constants, values pinned by an external spec, and security invariants stay hardcoded. The convention lands in AGENTS.md § Conventions (the authoritative source the review skill cites); dsh-code-review gains the matching reviewer-only check, since no mechanical gate can detect a hardcoded tunable.

- **e2e verifies the world, not the agent's self-report.** For real-API tests, confirm the assertion re-runs the command/checks the file externally — a keyword probe lets a cheating agent pass (see AGENTS.md e2e bullet). For a behavior change to the agent's real flows, a no-key/mock test alone is usually insufficient: a with-key e2e (especially a smoke test that boots the real example and checks the world) is cheap here and catches "green units, broken product" — encourage it rather than treating real-API tests as expensive (see AGENTS.md § Secrets / .env).

- **Plugin export shape + real-loader coverage.** A new/changed `cordis.yml`-loaded plugin: is it a function/namespace plugin (`name`/`inject`/`Config`/`apply` named exports) with NO `export default`? A stray default export makes the Loader's `unwrapExports` drop `inject` and the plugin crashes at load with `cannot get property … without inject` — invisible to hand-built `ctx.plugin({...})` tests and to line coverage. Confirm there's a test driving it through the REAL loader path (the no-key subprocess e2e for ACP is the model). And any opportunistic read of a service NOT in `static inject` should use `ctx.get(name)`, not `ctx.<name>` (the property proxy throws through a foreign shadow). See [packages/AGENTS.md](../../../packages/AGENTS.md) and [docs/postmortem/0001](../../../docs/postmortem/0001-acp-default-export-drops-inject.md).

- **Seam discipline.** New swappable capability? Check it's split per the capability-seams RFC (interface / impl / consumer), and that the consumer injects the interface key, never an implementation type.

- **Hardcoded tunables that should be plugin config.** A literal timeout, grace period, output/truncation cap, result-count limit, retry count, buffer size, model name, API base URL, user agent, or filesystem path introduced inside a plugin belongs on the plugin's schemastery `Config` with the shipped value as its default (AGENTS.md § Conventions "No hardcoded tunables in plugins"). A named `DEFAULT_*` constant or a test-only injection seam is not configurability — the question to ask is whether a `cordis.yml` deployment can change the value without a code edit. Protocol/wire constants, semantic constants, values pinned by an external spec, and security invariants are exempt; a new `Config` field also needs its README row and range validation. No gate detects a hardcoded tunable — this check is entirely on the reviewer.

- **Test quality — sufficiency, not just coverage.** 100% per-file coverage and a green suite are necessary, not sufficient: they prove the lines *ran*, not that the feature *works the way it ships*. Judge whether the tests are sufficient on two axes. (1) **Would they fail if the behavior regressed?** A test that passes but asserts the wrong thing — or restates the implementation instead of the contract (events fired, disposal reached, the world changed) — is worse than none. (2) **Do they exercise the REAL thing, the way it's actually used?** Prefer the genuine collaborator over a fake, drive the change through its real entry path (the cordis Loader, the ACP bridge, a booted subprocess — not a hand-built `ctx.plugin({...})` that bypasses `unwrapExports`), and verify the WORLD (re-read the file/log/registry externally), not the agent's self-report. A test that fakes the inputs just enough to cover every line will agree with whatever the author assumed; the real thing won't. When a test sets up a *clean/happy* path to reach a line, ask whether the line's PURPOSE is exercised — e.g. a durability/teardown path "tested" by a fully-completed turn never proves the mid-flight teardown it exists for; a torn-tail recovery branch covered by a well-formed log never proves recovery. Flag tests that hit the line but not the scenario. See AGENTS.md § Defensive patterns "Line coverage is not behavior coverage" and "Prefer the REAL implementation over a mock/stand-in in tests".

- **Snapshot coverage for transcript/UX changes.** If the PR changes the editor-facing transcript or end-to-end agent UX — the ACP bridge's event→update translation, the agent loop's observable output, tool presentation, or anything an editor renders — it must add or update a snapshot scenario (`examples/*/tests/**/*.snapshot.ts`, goldens under `examples/acp-agent/tests/snapshots/`) or note explicitly why none applies (AGENTS.md § Conventions). Review the golden diff itself: a changed `stdout.golden.txt` / `session.golden.txt` is a behavior change in disguise — confirm it's intended, not an accidental regression someone re-recorded away. A pure internal refactor with no observable-output change is exempt, but the PR should say so. See [docs/rfc/implemented/testing/2026-06-19-acp-snapshot-tests.md](../../../docs/rfc/implemented/testing/2026-06-19-acp-snapshot-tests.md).

- **Bilingual docs: review translation quality, not just pairing.** If the PR adds or edits a doc pair, read the changed English and Chinese sides and compare the meaning, not only the mechanical diff. Verify terms against [terminology.md](../../../docs/i18n/terminology.md), including first-occurrence annotations and "do not translate as" prohibitions; if a new term has no established precedent, the PR should keep it in English, list it under `待定术语`, and update the terminology table once the rendering is decided. A green `verify-translation-pairing` only proves hashes, switchers, and structure were recorded — it does not prove the translation is faithful, natural, or correctly termed. Treat [translation-rules.md](../../../docs/i18n/translation-rules.md) MUST/MUST NOT violations as blocking.
