+- `iris check --findings <out.jsonl>` writes every finding as JSON: a stable `id` (scope, need, code and subject, nothing of the wording), `level`, `code`, `scope`, `need`, `subject`, `message` and `fix`. Every message that knows its fix now says it after "fix:". The codes are listed in docs/lint.md.
+- `portal generate` follows its findings through: each structure round is logged as fixed, still open, new and reopened; a fix round is shown the open findings with their fixes and only the files they name; a change that reopens a closed finding is undone; and the phase stops when a round closes nothing, writing what is left to run.log. A hesitant visitor no longer triggers a wording rewrite by itself, only a misroute does. A lint without `--findings` is still driven the old way.

 ## 0.6.17 (2026-10-02)
 
 - A desk shows every record still moving and only the three most recently finished (a final state: no move out of it), with "Show older" for three more at a time. A desk that has run for a year is still about the work in hand.
