+**Category:** QUALITY
+**Trigger:** A new module creates a directory under `process.cwd()` (or the project root) that is intended to hold generated/runtime files (artifacts, run logs, cache) rather than source code.
+**Check:** For every directory path written by new code (grep `mkdirSync` or `mkdir` in the diff), verify the directory appears in `.gitignore`. Common offenders: `.ragtech/`, `runs/`, `cache/`, `artifacts/`.

+# Review: refactor/s1-artifacts
+Date: 2026-05-09
+Reviewer: AI (review-pr skill) — session bias: GENERATOR BIAS on meta files only (SKILL.md, CLAUDE.md, this doc — written as outputs of prior review runs); feature code was NOT generated by this session. Developer approved PROCEED.
+PR: NONE (PR description provided inline by developer)
+
+## Verdict
+APPROVED
+
+## Summary
+All blockers, warnings, and optional suggestions from prior review rounds have been resolved across three commits. The artifact storage module is clean, well-tested (20 integration tests), and correctly handles extension normalisation, deduplication, baseDir isolation, and full SHA-256 hashing. No new issues found.
+
+## Blockers
+None.
+
+## Warnings
+None.
+
+## Suggestions
+None.
+
+## Resolution history
+
+| Round | Commit | Issues resolved |
+|-------|--------|-----------------|
+| Initial | `b30e01e` | Feature introduced |
+| Review 1 | `7665a67` | B1 (test placement), B2 (.gitignore), W1 (hash length), W2 (ext param), W3 (baseDir param) |
+| Review 2 | `1b75848` | S1 (dedup comment), S2 (ext normalisation + guard), S3 (N/A — staged impl, no action required) |
+
+## Test plan verification
+
+| Item | Status | Notes |
+|------|--------|-------|
+| `npm run test:integration` (20/20) | PASS | 12 artifact tests (incl. 3 new normalisation tests) + 6 project tests |
+| `tsc --noEmit` | PASS | No type errors |
+| npm test (full suite) | PRE-EXISTING FAILURES | Same 4 pre-existing failures; none in this diff |
+| npm run test:react | SKIPPED | No React files changed |
+| npm run test:e2e | SKIPPED | No Phase 8 UI flows changed |
+
+## Patterns observed
+No new patterns. All findings resolved; no additions to SKILL.md needed.
