 ## Verdict
 
-**Approve with nits** — comment-only hook sites and documentation match the adopted plan and E3M2-07 acceptance criteria; ready to merge after optional `CraftResult.cs` wording tweak.

-1. **`CraftResult.cs` summary tense** — Plan item 4 asked to confirm cross-reference wording after hooks land. File was not updated; summary still reads “NEO-71 telemetry hook sites **will live** in **`TryCraft`**”. Update to present tense (e.g. “live in **`CraftOperations.TryCraft`** (success path + **`Deny`**)”) so it matches landed hooks and the class summary on **`CraftOperations`**.

 ## Nits
 
-- Nit: README craft telemetry subsection is a single dense paragraph; a two-bullet list mirroring the code hook sites (`item_crafted` / `craft_failed`) would match NEO-64 gather README scanability — optional only.

 ### Craft telemetry hooks (NEO-71)
 
-Comment-only hook sites in **`CraftOperations.TryCraft`** for future E9.M1 catalog events — **`item_crafted`** on every successful craft (inputs removed, outputs granted, refine XP applied); **`craft_failed`** with stable **`reasonCode`** on every structured deny via private **`Deny`** (all **`CraftReasonCodes`**, including store-missing and post-mutation rollback paths). **`TODO(E9.M1)`** — no production ingest. Successful craft output grants also pass through **`PlayerInventoryOperations`** (**`item_created`** hook, [NEO-56](#player-inventory-neo-54-store-neo-55-http)). HTTP **`POST …/craft`** calls the engine only (no duplicate API-layer hooks). Epic 3 Slice 3 metric **`time-to-first-craft`** is derived at E9.M1 from **`item_crafted`** + session context (no separate prototype hook). Plan: [NEO-71 implementation plan](../../docs/plans/NEO-71-implementation-plan.md).
