Audit Resolution

Purpose: Present audit discrepancies to user and capture decisions for each finding (HITL).

Use when: Investigation phase has completed and you have audit discrepancies that need user decisions before remediation.

Critical: This is a HITL skill - EVERY discrepancy requires a user decision. NO auto-fixes.

Workflow

1. Present Summary

   • Total files audited
   • Total discrepancies found
   • Breakdown by severity (critical, warning, info)

2. Sort Discrepancies

   • Order: critical → warning → info
   • Within severity: alphabetical by file path

3. For Each Discrepancy (Loop)

   • Show file path and line number
   • Show diff in table format:

     Aspect	Template	Actual
     field	expected	found

   • Show severity level
   • HITL: Ask user "What should I do?"

4. Present Decision Options

   [1] Apply template - Fix file to match template
   [2] Update template - Template is wrong, create PR to update it
   [3] Ignore - Accept this deviation
   [4] Custom - Provide specific instruction
   

5. Capture User Decision

   • Record: discrepancy ID, action choice, custom instruction (if [4])
   • Validate choice is 1-4
   • If [4], prompt for custom instruction

6. Record All Decisions

   • Build decisions array for remediation phase
   • Count decisions by type
   • Prepare summary for next phase

Output

## Audit Results Summary

- Files audited: {files_audited}

Per-Discrepancy Block

### Discrepancy {n}/{total} [{severity}]

**File:** `{file}`
**Line:** {line}
**Field:** `{field}`
**Agent:** {agent}

**Difference:**
| Aspect | Template | Actual |
|--------|----------|--------|
| {field} | {expected} | {actual} |

**Template source:** `{template_source}`

**What should I do?**

1. Apply template - Fix file to match template
2. Update template - Template is wrong, create PR to update it
3. Ignore - Accept this deviation
4. Custom - Provide specific instruction

Your choice (1-4):

After All Decisions

## Resolution Summary

Decisions captured for {total_discrepancies} discrepancies:

- Apply template: {apply_count}
- Update template: {update_template_count}
- Ignore: {ignore_count}
- Custom: {custom_count}

Proceeding to remediation phase.

Validation Rules

1. Every discrepancy gets a decision - No skipping
2. Invalid choice → re-prompt - Must be 1-4
3. Custom requires instruction - If [4], must collect free-text
4. Sort by severity first - Critical issues presented first
5. Copy full discrepancy - Decisions include all context for remediation
