review_loop_llm -> GPT-4.1 cross_reviewer (orchestrator run.py); builders_llm -> DeepSeek fast_coder (INERT, proposes diff text only); verifier_llm -> ci_gate is sole PASS authority, Claude is fix-proposer only. Hardens review_loop.parse_verdict to word-boundary matching, adds a fail-closed subprocess timeout, and bind_review_node (single-arg, no LangGraph config injection). All fail safe on untrusted model output.
