# feat(review): restore the canonical task for every worker; keep it runtime-only

Product decision revisited with the A/B evidence in hand: the built-in
review brief was #1312's deliberate design, and the un-briefed variant
ran ~35% faster but missed a real finding in the measured comparison.
Depth wins — every worker (skill-bearing included) again receives the
canonical profile task, restoring #1312's reviewer behavior exactly.

What stays from the earlier change: the built-in text remains a RUNTIME
default — guided setup, first-run, and configure no longer persist it
into saved profiles (that part was a defect: baked text masquerading as
user config, freezing profiles on old wording and making the default
uneditable). Users who want a lighter pass set their own shorter task.

## Behavior

- Reviewers run the profile task. A user-configured `task` reaches every worker verbatim; when `task` is empty, skill-bearing workers get NO injected brief (their skills define the behavior, matching a direct user invocation) and only skill-less workers fall back to the built-in default task.
- Reviewers run the profile task: the user-configured `task` when set, else the built-in default brief. The built-in text is a runtime default — setup never persists it into saved profiles, so profiles stay clean and pick up improved defaults.
- Multi-reviewer profiles run reviewers concurrently, then run one judge.
- Results are printed and saved locally; `output: "trail"` also posts findings to the branch trail.
- A bare non-interactive `entire review` does not auto-run a profile. Automation should pass a profile name.
