 ## Target Behavior
 
-- Compiler always includes platform default durable post-submit checkers.
+- Compiler is owned by `backend/app/modules/projects/post_submit_policy.py`.
+  `backend/app/modules/checkers/compiler.py` remains the pre-submit compiler
+  module and must not import project post-submit policy helpers.
+- Compiler always includes platform default durable post-submit checkers in
+  `default_checkers` and `execution_checkers`.
 - Compiler rejects unknown checker names.
 - Compiler rejects attempts to remove or weaken defaults.
 - Compiler rejects duplicate/conflicting checker classifications.
 - Compiler rejects unsupported blocking-severity downgrade attempts.
 - Compiler emits the canonical policy body and hash.
-- Compiler supports default-only projects by representing platform defaults as
-  required durable coverage while permitting an empty project-specific addition
-  set.
-- `policy_body.default_checkers` must exactly equal the platform-owned
-  `DEFAULT_DURABLE_CHECKERS` list.
-- Policy rows bind to guide source snapshot id/hash, compiler version,
-  derivation provenance, lifecycle status, and approval provenance.
-- `ProjectSetupRun` can reference post-submit derivation/compile output and
-  represent post-submit setup statuses without JSON-only hiding.
-- Activation/runtime validation uses the compiled canonical body, not ad hoc
-  request lists.
+- Compiler supports default-only projects. A default-only constrained spec has
+  empty project-specific `required_checkers` and `warning_checkers`; the
+  compiled policy body still executes every platform default because
+  `default_checkers` is stamped from the compiler's platform defaults and
+  `execution_checkers` is compiled from that locked default list.
+- `required_checkers` and `warning_checkers` represent project-specific routing
+  classifications. They may reference registered non-default checkers, and
+  `required_checkers` may also reference a default checker to tighten its
+  routing for the project. Default-only projects leave both lists empty.
+  Platform defaults remain mandatory through the compiler-owned default list
+  and execution list, not by duplicating them into `required_checkers`.
+- `policy_body.default_checkers` is a locked compiler output, not a runtime read
+  from the mutable `DEFAULT_DURABLE_CHECKERS` constant.
+- Platform blocking severities are `["critical", "high"]`, matching the
+  existing checker runner. A constrained spec may tighten routing by adding
+  known severities, but it cannot remove `critical` or `high`.
+- Activation and runtime behavior are not changed in this chunk except where
+  existing validation calls the canonical parser/body helpers. Persistence
+  fields and setup-run statuses are defined in `WS-POL-002-02` and
+  server-owned approval/activation enforcement remains in `WS-POL-002-03`.
+- Existing real API drill scripts may be updated only to keep their bootstrap
+  post-submit policy payloads aligned with the compiler's
+  non-weakenable `["critical", "high"]` platform severity floor.

+# External Review Response: WS-POL-002-01
+
+## Source
+
+PR #87 external checks.
+
+## Comments Addressed
+
+### Backend CI failure
+
+Status: addressed.
+
+Finding:
+
+- The Backend workflow failed in `tests/test_tasks.py` at
+  `test_screening_uses_persisted_post_submit_policy_body_after_default_drift`.
+  The test name and assertion did not reflect the final versioned compiler
+  contract for locked post-submit policy bodies.
+
+Decision:
+
+- The old expectation was stale under `WS-POL-002-01`. The compiler now stamps
+  `compiler_version` and the emitted default list into `policy_body`. Runtime
+  validates the locked body by supported compiler version, internal consistency,
+  and `policy_hash`, not by comparing old locked rows to today's mutable
+  `DEFAULT_DURABLE_CHECKERS` constant. Future default-list changes still require
+  explicit versioning or migration work and must not silently reinterpret old
+  locked bodies.
+
+Fix:
+
+- Renamed the test to
+  `test_screening_uses_versioned_post_submit_policy_body_after_default_drift`.
+- Updated the assertion to expect `200` and verify that screening stamps the
+  persisted v0.1 policy body and hash after a later mutation to the current
+  default-checker constant.
+- Added parser regression coverage for unsupported compiler versions and
+  self-consistent default-list drift that does not match the frozen v0.1
+  compiler snapshot.
+
+Verification:
+
+```bash
+cd backend && .venv/bin/pytest tests/test_tasks.py::test_screening_uses_versioned_post_submit_policy_body_after_default_drift -q
+cd backend && .venv/bin/ruff check tests/test_tasks.py
+```
+
+Results:
+
+- Focused CI-fix test: 1 passed.
+- Ruff: passed.
+
+Internal post-fix review:
+
+- QA/test: PASS.
+- Test delta: PASS.
+
+## External Check Status
+
+- Backend, Agent Gates, and CodeRabbit passed on the previous push.
+- This file now includes additional unpushed fixes for the versioned default
+  snapshot contract. GitHub Actions and CodeRabbit must rerun after this fix
+  push before the PR is considered externally clear.
+
+## Comments Deferred
+
+None.
+
+## Human Decisions Needed
+
+None before human merge review.
+
+## Commands Rerun
+
+```bash
+cd backend && .venv/bin/pytest tests/test_tasks.py::test_screening_uses_versioned_post_submit_policy_body_after_default_drift -q

+
+## Remaining Risks
+
+- External checks are pending rerun for this unpushed fix diff. Human merge
+  review is still required after the rerun is green.
