+**A granted fix-check's clean read now counts at Step 16.** On gstack-evals#168 the owner granted one scoped fix-check, the reader read `9b0c56c..7ea1907` and found nothing, and `gstack-ship-release finish` still stopped with `STOP: behavior, tests or build inputs changed since review (tests/panel-kit-v3-1.test.ts)`, sending the test file the fix-check had read back through Steps 5 to 11.5. The review-loop exception could not help, because it is the owner accepting unreviewed edits and it never accepts a gate-edited test. The fix-check row also read `UNVERIFIED`, because it was logged without its `completed` and `converged` fields (GST-1130, GEVA-218).
+
+### Fixed
+- **`gstack-ship-release finish`** reads the newest `review-fix-check` row. When the row is a completed clean read on committed content with its `range_base` on the branch, every path inside that range that matched the reviewed tree at the range base and is unchanged since routes as `fix_checked=` on the `ROUTE:` line, with a `FIX_CHECK: reviewed <paths>` line. That includes a gate-edited test. A path edited after the fix-check still stops. A row that does not qualify prints `FIX_CHECK: not counted (<reason>)` and changes nothing.
+- **`gstack-review-log`** refuses a `review-fix-check` row that does not carry `completed` and `converged` as true or false, and keeps the start token for the retry. The refusal names the missing fields, so the row is fixed when it is written instead of reading `UNVERIFIED` at Step 11.5.
+
+### Tests
+- `test/ship-rereview-triggers.test.ts`: a fixture shaped like gstack-evals#168 (a round-2 pass, then a fix commit that edits the source and a gate-edited test) stops on main and passes finish once a clean fix-check row with its range base is logged through the real `gstack-review-log`. Negative controls: an edit after the fix-check still stops, and an incomplete row or a row with no range base is not counted.
+- `test/review-log-findings.test.ts`: a `review-fix-check` row missing either field, or with a non-boolean value, is refused and keeps its start token; the complete row binds as verified.

+A completed fix-check is a review, not an owner acceptance (GST-1130). Finish
+reads the newest `review-fix-check` row from `gstack-review-read`. When it is a
+completed clean read on committed content (freshness `CURRENT` against its own
+tree) whose `range_base` and commit are on the branch, each path inside
+`range_base..commit` that matched the reviewed tree at `range_base` and is

+`FIX_CHECK: reviewed` line, a gate-edited test included. A path edited after the
+fix-check still routes by the rules above. Any other row prints
+`FIX_CHECK: not counted (<reason>)` and changes nothing. `gstack-review-log`
+refuses a `review-fix-check` row without boolean `completed` and `converged`,
+before it consumes the start token, because without them the row reads
+`UNVERIFIED` and finish cannot count it.
