-## Journal Editor and Venue Fit
+## Journal-Grounded Reviewer and Venue Fit
 
-`longtable-editor` is intentionally a thin role adapter. It foregrounds the
-Journal Editor perspective and must disclose `LongTable consulted: Journal
-Editor`, but it is not allowed to invent knowledge about a named target journal.
+`longtable-reviewer` is the compact surface for peer-review and editor-style
+feedback. It keeps reviewer objections, Journal Editor fit judgment, Venue
+Strategist tradeoffs, and scholar-research evidence in one evidence-backed
+workflow instead of splitting journal feedback into a separate visible skill.
 
-If a target journal is named, LongTable should not claim journal fit from role
-intuition alone. A fit judgment needs a journal profile: aims/scope, author
-guidance, recent article patterns, and article type expectations. Without that
-profile, the editor judgment should either ask whether to run scholarly/venue
-search or label fit as provisional.
+If a target journal is named, LongTable should ground reviewer feedback in a
+Journal Profile: aims/scope, author guidance, recent article patterns, and
+article type expectations. If reference papers are available or recoverable,
+LongTable should build a Reference Pattern Matrix covering decision structure,
+paper flow, standardized terminology, Figure/Table conventions, and APA 7
+style expectations.
 
 Useful command surfaces:
 
 ```bash
-longtable review --role editor --prompt "Evaluate this manuscript positioning."
-longtable panel --role editor,reviewer --prompt "Compare journal fit and reviewer risk."
+longtable review --role reviewer --prompt "Evaluate this manuscript positioning for the target journal."
+longtable panel --role reviewer,measurement_auditor --prompt "Compare journal fit, reviewer risk, and measurement evidence."
 longtable search --intent venue --query "<journal or venue context>"
 longtable scholar-research scaffold --cwd "<project-path>" --json
 ```
 
 Treat journal fit as a risk rubric, not an acceptance prediction. A useful
-editor pass separates scope fit, contribution fit, method/evidence norm fit,
-editorial salience, and citation/evidence risk, and marks unsupported claims as
-provisional.
+reviewer pass separates editor-facing contribution claim, reviewer objection,
+venue-strategy tradeoff, evidence gap, revision action, and any Researcher
+Checkpoint needed before changing venue positioning.

+# LongTable 0.1.72
+
+LongTable 0.1.72 makes `longtable-reviewer` the compact evidence-backed
+journal review surface. The reviewer role now carries peer-review objections,
+Journal Editor fit judgment, Venue Strategist tradeoffs, and scholar-research
+evidence workflow without adding a separate visible editor skill to the compact
+surface.
+
+## Changes
+
+- Expands the Reviewer role to cover journal-grounded fit risks and missing
+  evidence, not only peer-review objections.
+- Adds a Journal-grounded reviewer workflow to generated Codex and Claude
+  `longtable-reviewer` skills.
+- Adds the same workflow to `longtable review --role reviewer --print` and the
+  legacy `longtable-reviewer` prompt alias.
+- Requires reviewer feedback to use a `Journal Profile` and, when reference
+  papers are available or recoverable, a `Reference Pattern Matrix`.
+- Documents checks for decision structure, paper flow, standardized
+  terminology, Figure/Table conventions, and APA 7 style expectations.
+
+## Migration
+
+Use `longtable-reviewer` or `longtable review --role reviewer` for journal-fit,
+editor-style, and peer-review feedback. `--role editor` remains available as an
+explicit role lens, but the compact reviewer surface now owns the evidence-backed
+journal review workflow.
+
+## Verification
+
+- `npm run smoke:role-audit`
+- `npm run release:check`

-## Journal Editor Fit Boundary
+## Journal-Grounded Reviewer
 
-`longtable-editor` and `--role editor` foreground the Journal Editor role; they
-do not invent target-journal knowledge. If a target journal is named, journal
-fit claims require a journal profile: aims/scope, author guidance, recent
-article patterns, and article type expectations. Without that profile,
-LongTable should ask whether to run scholarly/venue search or mark fit as
-provisional.
+`longtable-reviewer` and `--role reviewer` are the compact surface for
+peer-review, editor-style, and venue-fit feedback. The reviewer role combines
+Journal Editor and Venue Strategist lenses with scholar-research evidence
+instead of requiring a separate visible editor skill.
+
+If a target journal is named, journal-fit claims require a Journal Profile:
+aims/scope, author guidance, recent article patterns, and article type
+expectations. Reference papers should be compared through a Reference Pattern
+Matrix covering decision structure, paper flow, standardized terminology,
+Figure/Table conventions, and APA 7 style expectations.
