### expert_build/llm.py
VERDICT: PASS
CORRECTNESS: VALID
SPEC_COMPLIANCE: N/A
ISSUE_COMPLIANCE: N/A
BELIEF_COMPLIANCE: N/A
TEST_COVERAGE: COVERED
INTEGRATION: WIRED
REASONING: Centralizes JSON extraction logic and shared constants. The `extract_json` helper is improved to support both objects and arrays and uses a robust heuristic to find JSON structures within LLM responses (ignoring preamble/postamble).

### expert_build/coverage.py:cmd_cert_coverage
VERDICT: PASS
CORRECTNESS: VALID
SPEC_COMPLIANCE: N/A
ISSUE_COMPLIANCE: N/A
BELIEF_COMPLIANCE: N/A
TEST_COVERAGE: COVERED
INTEGRATION: WIRED
REASONING: Successfully migrates the certification coverage command to use JSON-based communication with the LLM. The inclusion of a retry loop for JSON parsing improves reliability in the face of minor LLM formatting errors. The fallback to keyword matching is correctly preserved.

VERDICT: PASS
CORRECTNESS: VALID
SPEC_COMPLIANCE: N/A
ISSUE_COMPLIANCE: N/A
BELIEF_COMPLIANCE: N/A
TEST_COVERAGE: COVERED
INTEGRATION: WIRED
REASONING: Refactored to use centralized utilities in `llm.py`, eliminating duplicate logic and benefiting from improved JSON extraction.

### expert_build/prompts.py
VERDICT: PASS
CORRECTNESS: VALID
SPEC_COMPLIANCE: N/A
ISSUE_COMPLIANCE: N/A
BELIEF_COMPLIANCE: N/A
TEST_COVERAGE: COVERED
INTEGRATION: WIRED
REASONING: Prompt updates for `PROPOSE_BELIEFS` and `CERT_MATCH` are consistent with the code's shift toward JSON parsing.

### expert_build/propose.py:cmd_propose_beliefs
VERDICT: PASS
CORRECTNESS: VALID
SPEC_COMPLIANCE: N/A
ISSUE_COMPLIANCE: N/A
BELIEF_COMPLIANCE: N/A
TEST_COVERAGE: COVERED
INTEGRATION: WIRED
REASONING: Significant improvement in reliability. Replacing the previous regex-based line parsing with JSON parsing makes the belief proposal process much less fragile. The code correctly formats the extracted JSON back into the human-readable Markdown format expected by the next step in the pipeline.

### tests/test_coverage.py
VERDICT: PASS
CORRECTNESS: VALID
SPEC_COMPLIANCE: N/A
ISSUE_COMPLIANCE: N/A
BELIEF_COMPLIANCE: N/A
TEST_COVERAGE: COVERED
INTEGRATION: WIRED
REASONING: Provides comprehensive coverage for the new JSON-based coverage matching logic, including success cases, retries, and malformed responses.

### tests/test_exam.py
VERDICT: PASS
CORRECTNESS: VALID
SPEC_COMPLIANCE: N/A
ISSUE_COMPLIANCE: N/A
BELIEF_COMPLIANCE: N/A
TEST_COVERAGE: COVERED
INTEGRATION: WIRED
REASONING: Updated to verify the moved and enhanced `extract_json` function, ensuring that objects, arrays, and code fences are handled correctly.
---

### tests/test_propose.py
VERDICT: PASS
CORRECTNESS: VALID
SPEC_COMPLIANCE: N/A
ISSUE_COMPLIANCE: N/A
BELIEF_COMPLIANCE: N/A
TEST_COVERAGE: COVERED
INTEGRATION: WIRED
REASONING: Correctly updated to use JSON mocks, reflecting the implementation changes in `propose.py`.
---

### SELF_REVIEW
LIMITATIONS: The `extract_json` heuristic (using `rfind` for the closing brace) can theoretically fail if the LLM includes trailing text that itself contains braces. However, given the "Respond with ONLY JSON" instruction in the prompt and the retry logic, this is a standard and acceptable risk for LLM-based parsing.
