Fails the taskMulti-Turn - Revision Turn Handling

The mistake

A revision changes what was asked but leaves wording that depended on it, so the artifact states the old position and the new one.

Do this instead

Send Model B a Leg B cleanup turn that points at the stale area, never at the new wording.

What is wrongThe golden foia_register.html puts the newsletter teaser on RPD-26-2204 yet says “The newsletter teaser rides the same Records batch”, and labels a count from acknowledgment “days since filing”.

Leg B turn 6, to Model B, asks to move the newsletter teaser from the records row to RPD-26-2204, the slip's request, and to count sitting time from acknowledgment.

Where it shows

The newsletter teaser rides the same Records batch…the old sentence, still in the walk in section
…days since filing…the label every row's detail shares, though each count runs from acknowledgment

What it should have been

The teaser sentence follows the teaser, or goes, and every row's detail reads days since acknowledgment.

How it breaks the standardModel B moved the teaser to RPD-26-2204 after Leg B turn 6, so the walk in section lists the newsletter there and then says it rides the Records batch: two answers on one page. Each row's detail calls an acknowledgment count “days since filing”. No criterion reads either sentence, so nothing flags them.

The rule it breaksGuidelines · 6.3 Modifiers nothing left stale that depended on it.

Catch it in your own task

After each revision turn, search the artifact for every value, label and name that moved.

Where the correct guidance is written

Section titles as they print, so you can search for them in the document.

QC spec · Multi-Turn - Revision Turn Handling

FAIL: both present but contradictory: March rows gone and the flags survived, but the total at the bottom still includes the March amounts.

Guidelines · 6.3 Modifiers

The golden has to show the edit applied to work that already existed: earlier content kept, the change visible, nothing left stale that depended on it.
Why it matters

Revision Turn Handling fails on a regression, and this is the commonest form: the graded value moves, the prose around it does not. A reader meets an artifact arguing with itself, and a grader checking your golden against a criterion can land on the stale half and mark it Not Present.
