   `coroutine.yield` inside either dynamic scope still leaks the scope —
   loudly, through `pmacs.error`, but it leaks; no refusal sited in a
   yield helper can intercept it (framing §2). And Q#W-7's reachability
   by a real caller stays **unproven**: the commit message says so, and
   the test pins the guard rather than reproducing a fault.
+- **Review round 1 blocker — `pmacs.process.spawn` now REQUIRES

+  surface, falling back to `label`. That preserved compatibility and

+  `label` is "caller-supplied, unvalidated convention", so a purpose
+  defaulting to it hands every caller back the convention the lane exists

+  done the thing it rejected.

+  package lifecycle has not started, so the third-party population is
+  ~zero and the cost only rises later. Checked for a reason that would be
+  wrong and found none: `pmacs.process.spawn` has no API-reference
+  documentation and no stability promise in `docs/` (the package-author
+  guide's only mentions are an audit-rule classification and a pointer to
+  the bundled REPL; its semver language governs packages' own versioning,
+  not pmacs's Lua surface), and `lua_to_spec` has exactly one caller.
+  **Eleven executable call sites updated**, each with a real description
+  rather than the label copied across: `repl/init.lua`, `compile.lua`,
+  `lean.lua`, the `pmacs-magit` fixture, and seven in tests. The two
+  `pmacs.process.spawn("ls")` occurrences in `src/audit/mod.rs` and
+  `tests/m7_9_acceptance.rs` are **audit fixture source text** — lexed,
+  never executed — and are deliberately untouched.
 - **Surfaces that changed shape, for anyone rebasing onto this:**
   `AsyncRuntime::allocate`/`allocate_with_resource` collapsed into one
   private `JobSpec`-taking funnel; `register_external` grew a third
   parameter; `ProcessSpec::new` grew a third parameter (~40 call sites,
   nearly all tests); `ActiveJobInfo`/`CompletedJobInfo`/`ProcessSpec`
-  each grew a required `purpose` field. `pmacs.process.spawn`'s Lua
-  surface keeps `purpose` optional, falling back to the label.
+  each grew a required `purpose` field, and `pmacs.process.spawn`
+  requires `purpose` in its spec table.
