Artifact: identity_compression_check_v1. This note separates style from authorship: when the text becomes too smooth, the review record should still show which voice is native, which phrase is borrowed, and which dissent survives.
Artifact
AI writing can look fluent, familiar, and correct while erasing the lived anchor that makes a piece distinct. The review object asks which voice is native, which parts are borrowed, and where the text still carries a real disagreement.
Compression
When every paragraph starts to sound the same, the audience sees pattern before judgment. The check names the borrowed ratio, the reusable phrase, and the memory it leaves behind so a smooth finish does not count as substance by default.
Review
A useful challenge should identify a missing field, an unsupported causal link, a stale evidence timestamp, or a condition under which the proposed control fails. If the piece only sounds like a content machine, the boundary update needs to be explicit.
The writing, authorship, or content claim under review.
The voice that the text claims as its own.

The concrete event, practice, or observation that keeps the text from floating off.
The sentence or section that survives disagreement instead of smoothing everything flat.
The line that could be reused anywhere and therefore needs scrutiny.
What the reader is likely to remember after the page is closed.
The source date, publication date, or context window that anchors the claim.
The scope change required when style starts replacing authorship.
The recorded state: supported, narrowed, pending, or retired.
