### Verdict: CHANGES REQUESTED
**Convergence across all 3 reviewers:**
- **GJ1111 (Zenzele) population architecture** — critical, flagged by Paula + Miri. Station 420M + planet 110M + `inhabited_count: 1` is broken.
- **GJ1111 star_type "unusual"** — should be "M" (Miri) or at minimum documented (Hoshe flagged GJ1075's identical issue)
- **GJ222A body_id prefix** — warning, flagged by Hoshe + Miri
- **GJ35 tidal heating** — suggestion from both Paula + Miri, mechanism needs correction
- **GJ1245B station/surface inversion** — flagged by Paula (warning) + Miri (suggestion)
- **population: 0 vs null** — Hoshe warning, affects several files
All 10 fixes verified correct. No regressions. population: 0 → null applied across all Track B files. GJ222A body_id prefix fully consistent. One minor note: GJ1245B has bare spectral_class: "M" (same pattern as the GJ54 "K" fix) — low severity, not a blocker.
Paula (Narrative Depth): APPROVE
Fixes preserve and improve narrative quality. Zenzele restructure (500M surface + 45K orbital) creates a coherent three-node system with internal logic. Encrucijada 3-aperture Assembly investment is believable. Vuurkloof radiogenic heating is a genuine improvement. Deferred suggestions (Inhambane depth, Varzea pop calibration, stereotype ratios) are acceptable for future work — recommends a tracked ticket before Track C/D.
Miri (World Consistency): APPROVE
GJ1111 population architecture is clean — planet as anchor, stations as support. GJ222A rename is thorough end-to-end with no orphaned references. GJ35 radiogenic heating is physically coherent for a white dwarf system. No new inconsistencies introduced.
Verdict: APPROVED
Remaining suggestions (non-blocking, for future work):
GJ1245B bare spectral_class: "M" — should get subtype like other M-stars
Cultural stereotype ratio tracking before next corridor batch
GJ54 (Inhambane) notes enrichment
GJ299 (Varzea) population calibration
