 There is a PLAN.md file that promises 3 features: auth, profile, and email notifications.
 The diff (git diff main...HEAD) only implements 2 of them (auth and profile).
+The base branch is main. There is no origin remote, so use main wherever the workflow says origin/<base>.
 
-Read review-SKILL.md for the review workflow. Focus on the Plan Completion Audit section.
+This capture covers only Step 1.5's Plan Completion Audit. Read plan-completion.md once: it is that workflow.
 The plan file is at ./PLAN.md. Cross-reference it against the diff.
+The HIGH-impact discrepancy question, its Scope Check, learnings logging and the later review steps are outside this capture; do not run them. Do not edit source.
+The fixture already ran the audit's git commands. Use these recorded outputs instead of rerunning them:
+\`\`\`
+${observations}
+\`\`\`
 
 For each plan item, classify as DONE, PARTIAL, NOT DONE, or CHANGED.
 The email notification system should be classified as NOT DONE.
