 - `src/core/cycle/base-phase.ts` — abstract `BaseCyclePhase` class. Enforces `sourceScopeOpts(ctx)` threading at the type level; closes the source-isolation leak class structurally for every new phase. Inherits source-scope, budget meter, error envelope, progress reporter. propose_takes / grade_takes / calibration_profile all extend it.

Idempotency cache on `(source_id, page_slug, content_hash, prompt_version)` composite unique index. Fence-dedup: existing canonical takes passed to the extractor as context. Ships a stub prompt; tuned prompt arrives via the synthetic corpus build.

Idempotency cache on `(source_id, page_slug, content_hash, prompt_version)` composite unique index. Fence-dedup: existing canonical takes passed to the extractor as context. Model resolves explicit `opts.model` > `models.propose_takes` config (alias-aware) > gateway default; the resolved id reaches the extractor AND the `model_id` audit column.
+- `src/core/takes-proposals.ts` — take-proposal review queue (#1467): `listTakeProposals` (source-scoped, holder allow-list fail-closed like `takes_list`) + `resolveTakeProposal` (accept promotes to the canonical markdown fence via `upsertTakeRow` under the per-page lock, mirrors to DB via `addTakesBatch`, records `promoted_row_num`; reject keeps the row as audit history; double-resolve throws). Surfaced as the `takes_proposals_list` / `takes_proposal_resolve` ops (resolve is `localOnly` — accept writes repo markdown) and `gbrain takes propose [--accept N | --reject N]`. Pinned by `test/takes-proposals-review.test.ts`.
 - `src/core/cycle/grade-takes.ts` — walks unresolved takes older than 6 months, retrieves evidence, asks judge model, caches verdict. Auto-resolve DISABLED by default. Conservative thresholds: >=0.95 single OR >=0.85 ensemble 3/3 unanimous. `aggregateEnsemble` reuses the cross-modal substrate; fires on the borderline 0.6-0.95 band. Writes to `take_grade_cache`.
 - `src/core/cycle/calibration-profile.ts` — aggregates resolved takes into 2-4 narrative pattern statements + active bias tags. Voice-gated via `gateVoice()`. Cold-brain skip when <5 resolved. Writes to `calibration_profiles` with audit columns (`voice_gate_passed`, `voice_gate_attempts`, `grade_completion`).
 - `src/core/calibration/voice-gate.ts` — single `gateVoice()` function, mode parameter (`pattern_statement` | `nudge` | `forecast_blurb` | `dashboard_caption` | `morning_pulse`). 2 regens then template fallback from `src/core/calibration/templates.ts`. Haiku judge with mode-specific rubrics; all rubrics structurally forbid clinical/preachy voice.
