+- If the PR author has write access, name a sandboxed lane before approval per 2b-bis — `@qwen-code /verify` for a behavioural claim, `@qwen-code /tmux` for a TUI surface. These are the paths where a green suite that does not pin the change is most expensive, so the 2b-bis line is least optional here. If the author lacks write access, the sandboxed lanes are unavailable — recommend that a maintainer check the PR out in a disposable container or reproduce the specific behavioural claim by hand.
 
 This signal is NOT a terminal gate — it does not stop the review or close the PR. It escalates review depth and flags risk so the reviewer knows where to focus. A PR that touches high-risk paths but passes full review with clean E2E verification can still be approved.

+#### 2b-bis. Name the sandboxed lane when CI cannot settle the claim — CI path

+2b tells you whether the PR's own tests are green. It cannot tell you whether
+those tests **pin the change** — a suite that passes identically with and
+without the diff is green and worthless, and no amount of reading the diff
+settles a claim about behaviour. Two isolated, token-free jobs close exactly
+that gap, and a maintainer triggers them by comment:
+
+| trigger              | what it produces                                                                                                                               |

+**This is a required element of the Stage 2 comment whenever the PR's central
+claim is behavioural and neither static review nor 2b substantiates it** — a
+bug "fixed", a perf or latency win, a wire-format or protocol change, a race
+or ordering fix, a TUI surface change. It is a CI-path instruction: it applies
+on an unattended run, unlike 2c below.
+
+Emit one line that names the trigger **and the specific claim it would
+settle**:
+
+> Sandboxed verification would settle this: `@qwen-code /verify` — that the
+> new `ownsRunningPrompt` guard actually fails closed for a foreign owner is
+> not observable from the diff, and this PR's suite passes with the guard
+> removed.
+
+A bare "you could run `/verify`" is noise, and noise is why this line gets
+skipped. The value is in naming what is currently **unsubstantiated**; a
+reader who disagrees with that assessment can ignore the line, which is a
+better outcome than never seeing it.
+
+**Skip it — explicitly — in exactly two cases:**
+
+- **No behavioural claim to settle**: docs, types, pure refactor with an
+  unchanged public surface, or a change 2b already substantiates. Say nothing;
+  do not pad the comment.
+- **The author lacks write access.** Both lanes execute the PR author's code,
+  so both require the **AUTHOR** to have write — recommending them on an
+  external contributor's PR sends the maintainer into a guaranteed denial.
+  Say the sandboxed lanes are unavailable for this PR and name what a
+  maintainer can do instead (check the PR out in a disposable container, or
+  reproduce the specific behavioural claim by hand).

 **⛔ BEFORE POSTING: verify the testing section carries real evidence.** Read back through your draft. In CI: does it quote actual check names and conclusions (and the failing job's log excerpt when red), and is the CI table wrapped in the `qwen-triage-ci` region markers so the finalize workflow can update it? On a local run: does it have a fenced code block with the actual terminal capture (or the `N/A` substitution for docs/types/refactor PRs with nothing user-visible)? Does the evidence depth match the PR type per “Scale the evidence” above — screenshots for UI changes, measurements for performance claims, clean-state numbers for build/test claims? If not, fix that now — and never paper over a gap with the author's self-reported results. The maintainer cannot approve without seeing what actually happened.
