+End-to-end acceptance walks for the doc-driven review pipeline, following the [dark-factory scenario writing guide](https://github.com/bborbe/dark-factory/blob/master/docs/rules/scenario-writing.md). Each scenario file under [`scenarios/`](scenarios/) is a manually-walked checklist; promote `draft → active` after the first successful walk.

+## Acceptance Scenarios
+End-to-end acceptance walks for the doc-driven review pipeline (`/coding:code-review`, `/coding:pr-review`). Each scenario is a manually-walked checklist under `scenarios/`; status `active` = walked successfully at least once.

+# Scenario 004: `/coding:pr-review` against a real PR surfaces findings + adjudicates per Owner
+
+Validates the load-bearing path the bot executes on every real Go PR with violations: `/coding:pr-review <URL>` fetches the diff from GitHub, the ast-grep funnel surfaces findings in Step 4a, Step 4b dispatches per-Owner Task agents for each affected owner, the dispatcher's Step 4d citation validator passes them through, and Step 5 reports the violations under Must Fix / Should Fix with valid rule_id citations. Scenarios 001-003 do not cover this — 001 tests toolchain-absent failure, 002 tests zero-findings happy path, 003 tests the mechanical funnel in isolation. Without 004 the regression risk is "Step 4b silently drops findings_by_owner — bot APPROVES a PR with real violations because the per-Owner adjudication phase no-ops".
+
+## Test PR
+
+The stable fixture is [bborbe/maintainer#2](https://github.com/bborbe/maintainer/pull/2) (branch `delete-this-pr-never`, title `test: delete-this-pr-never`). The PR diff is one file (`pkg/scenarios-test-fixture/violations.go`, 38 additions) committed expressly to violate 5 ast-grep YAML rules:
+
+- `go-architecture/constructor-returns-interface` (`NewService1` returns `*Service1`)
+- `go-architecture/no-globals-or-singletons` (`sharedService1` at package scope)
+- `go-time/no-time-now-direct` (bare `time.Now()`)
+- `go-concurrency/no-raw-go-func` (bare `go func(){...}()`)
+- `go-errors/no-fmt-errorf` (`fmt.Errorf` in production code)
+
+The PR stays open in perpetuity — the title says so. Walking 004 = re-pointing the dispatcher at the same SHA and verifying the funnel still surfaces all 5 violations.
+
+## Setup
+
+- [ ] `ast-grep --version` resolves on host
+- [ ] Run `make build-index` in the coding repo root so the Owner-lookup in Action below reads a current index
+- [ ] Fetch the PR head SHA: `PR_SHA=$(gh pr view 2 --repo bborbe/maintainer --json headRefOid -q .headRefOid)`; confirm non-empty
+- [ ] Confirm the PR is still open and shows exactly 1 changed file: `gh pr view 2 --repo bborbe/maintainer --json state,changedFiles -q '"\(.state) changedFiles=\(.changedFiles)"'` prints `OPEN changedFiles=1`
+- [ ] Clone the PR to a worktree for the dispatcher to scan (mirrors `commands/pr-review.md` Step 0b): `WORK=$(mktemp -d) && cd "$WORK" && git clone --depth=1 --branch delete-this-pr-never git@github.com:bborbe/maintainer.git . && git remote update --prune`
+- [ ] Confirm the fixture file landed: `test -f pkg/scenarios-test-fixture/violations.go`
+
+## Action
+
+- [ ] Generate the PR diff scoped to the fixture file (mirrors `commands/pr-review.md` Step 0c): `git diff origin/master...HEAD -- pkg/scenarios-test-fixture/violations.go > /tmp/scen004-diff.patch; wc -l /tmp/scen004-diff.patch`
+- [ ] Step 4.0 preflight (mirrors `commands/pr-review.md`): `(command -v ast-grep >/dev/null 2>&1 || command -v sg >/dev/null 2>&1) || exit 1; echo "preflight ok"`
+- [ ] Step 4a mechanical funnel against the fixture: `cd ~/Documents/workspaces/coding && ast-grep scan "$WORK/pkg/scenarios-test-fixture" > /tmp/scen004-findings.log 2>&1; echo $? > /tmp/scen004-ag-exit`
+- [ ] Step 4b owner extraction: `grep -oE 'go-[a-z-]+/[a-z-]+' /tmp/scen004-findings.log | sort -u > /tmp/scen004-rules && python3 -c "import json; idx={r['id']:r['owner'] for r in json.load(open('rules/index.json'))}; rules=open('/tmp/scen004-rules').read().splitlines(); owners=set(idx.get(r) for r in rules if r in idx and idx.get(r)); print('\\n'.join(sorted(owners)))" > /tmp/scen004-owners`
+- [ ] Step 4b agent-presence check: `while read owner; do test -f "agents/$owner.md" && echo "$owner: AGENT_PRESENT" || echo "$owner: AGENT_MISSING"; done < /tmp/scen004-owners > /tmp/scen004-agent-presence`
+- [ ] Step 4d citation validation (every surfaced rule_id must exist in the index): `comm -23 /tmp/scen004-rules <(jq -r '.[].id' rules/index.json | sort) > /tmp/scen004-hallucinated-rules`
+- [ ] Count findings: `grep -c '^error\[' /tmp/scen004-findings.log > /tmp/scen004-findings-count`
+
+## Expected
+
+- [ ] `cat /tmp/scen004-findings-count` returns ≥ `4` — at least 4 of the 5 deliberate violations surface. The 5th violation (`fmt.Errorf` flagged by `go-errors/no-fmt-errorf`) does not currently fire because the YAML pattern `fmt.Errorf($$$ARGS)` is parsed by tree-sitter Go grammar as a `type_conversion_expression` rather than a `call_expression`, so the pattern matches no real call sites. Tracked as a separate rule bug; the scenario's contract accepts the current 4-of-5 baseline so it can promote to `active` independent of that fix. When the YAML is corrected, lift this floor to `≥ 5`.
+- [ ] `wc -l < /tmp/scen004-rules` returns ≥ `3` — multiple distinct rule_ids surfaced (negative control: if the fixture parses to zero, the funnel didn't run)
+- [ ] `wc -l < /tmp/scen004-owners` returns ≥ `1` — at least one Owner has findings to adjudicate
+- [ ] Every line in `/tmp/scen004-agent-presence` ends with `AGENT_PRESENT` — Step 4b can resolve every Owner's agent file (regression risk: a renamed agent file silently no-ops that owner's findings; this catches it)
+- [ ] `wc -l < /tmp/scen004-hallucinated-rules` returns `0` — citation discipline holds: every surfaced rule_id is registered in the index
+- [ ] Funnel wall-clock under 5 seconds — small fixture, mechanical layer fast
+
+## Cleanup
+
+- `rm -rf "$WORK" /tmp/scen004-*`
+
+After the scenario passes, the operator should record the measured `(findings_count, distinct_rule_ids, distinct_owners)` tuple in the Progress section of the task page (`[[Refactor coding pr-review to doc-driven rules pipeline]]`) so future runs have a baseline. This is a follow-up note, not part of the scenario contract.
