Phase 5 already ran the drafted review through personify. Add an optional dumbify pass after it, with the same "if it's installed" degradation, since neither prose pass is load-bearing for the review's substance. Two guards the personify-only step didn't need: hold dumbify at its default intensity unless the invoker asks, because levels 3-4 compress harder than a comment carrying a technical finding can afford; and neither pass may cost the finding a file path, identifier, number, or a hedge marking real uncertainty. Precision outranks register. Also updates the frontmatter description, which claimed the skill "drafts and personifies" the review. That text is what the harness matches on to decide when to load the skill, so leaving it stale was the more consequential miss. README gains a "Works with personify and dumbify" section naming the overlap between the two prose skills rather than presenting them as orthogonal.

The

New "Works with personify and dumbify" section. It names the overlap between the two prose skills rather than presenting them as orthogonal — personify's work register already produces lowercase starts and fragments, so running both is a choice, not an upgrade.
