the one-time pre-flight nudge said "optionally read" but never told the agent
it's free to retry without reading when every unread region is generated
(lockfiles, codegen, snapshots, migration metadata). audit #677 surfaced ~21
runs/24h burning an extra model turn re-reading drizzle snapshots, pnpm-lock,
and *.gen.ts files purely to satisfy the gate. mode prompts only mention
generated content in the "skip self-review entirely" path, not the
"in-progress substantive review" path, so the in-the-moment error message
was the gap. behavior unchanged for legitimately-unread source regions.
