Problem & intent
Claude models have overtaken the GPT models the review stack was built around. This epic converts the stack's defaults to Claude end to end without losing review quality: methodology (codex exec review → argus-review, improved first), effort auto-routing, engine swap in the reviewing-prs loop + execplan exit-gate, and worker default routes (clodex gateway → plain Claude).
Roadmap spec (authority for children, contracts, ordering): docs/doperpowers/specs/2026-07-26-claude-review-stack-roadmap.md (v1.1, commit 5ecdd5b).
Constraints
- Two repos: SSFSKIM/argus-review (methodology children C2, C3) and doperpowers (C4, C5, C6). The board lives here.
- Non-regression is gated on the X1 benchmark (owned by C1); contracts X1–X4 in the roadmap bind the children — re-litigate none of them.
Success criteria
Parent-Level Acceptance in the roadmap spec, verified as a recomposition check when all children land (label-less review dispatch = Claude worker + argus engine + auto effort + bench pass; execplan/docs name argus first; label-less implement dispatch = Claude worker).
Roadmap
- C1 spike: methodology comparison + X1 benchmark + headless probe (child ticket)
- C2: argus methodology improvements (child ticket, blocked-by C1)
- C3: effort auto-routing (child ticket, blocked-by C2)
- C4: review engine swap in doperpowers (child ticket, blocked-by C2, C3)
- C5: review-loop worker default → Claude (child ticket, blocked-by C4)
- C6: implement worker default → Claude (child ticket, independent)
Decision log
- 2026-07-26: 6-child cut approved by the human after grill + external review (roadmap Decision Log has the full record incl. rejected alternatives).
