 ## Phase 12: Grammar module
 
-### Purpose
+Completed.
 
-Implement the first production module in the Go runtime path. Grammar is a good first real module because it exercises LLM proposal generation and validator chains while remaining constrained to punctuation, capitalization, and spacing cleanup.
+Implemented:
+- Production grammar module package in `internal/modules/grammar`.
+- Grammar prompt builder aligned to Python intent and constrained to punctuation/capitalization/spacing/article cleanup.
+- Grammar proposal generation through shared `internal/framework/proposal_generation` using `contracts.StructuredLLMClient`.
+- Scheduler-aware grammar proposal generation through existing scheduler hooks.
+- Grammar replacement policy `require_unique` (matching Python behavior).
+- Grammar validator chain using existing deterministic and LLM-backed validator infrastructure.
+- Grammar confidence threshold enforcement through existing config + confidence-threshold validator behavior.
+- Explicit runtime support for `--modules grammar` through normalization, chunking, runner, proposal generation, validation, application, and reporting.
+- Prompt/response diagnostics artifacts for grammar proposal + validator interactions with secret redaction.
+- Module-level reports for grammar including validator decisions/rejections, applied changes, and skipped changes.
+- CLI/runtime fake-client tests for approved proposals, validator rejection, application skips, diagnostics, failure/error.log behavior, and report outputs (`--report-json` and run-dir `report.json`).
 
-### Scope
-
-Implement:
-- `grammar` module package.
-- Grammar prompt builder ported from the Python implementation.
-- Grammar structured response model.
-- Grammar replacement policy.
-- Grammar validator chain.
-- Grammar confidence threshold handling.
-- Prompt/response diagnostics.
-- Module-level report integration.
-- CLI support for `--modules grammar`.
-- Fake LLM tests.
-- Optional real LLM smoke test gated so normal `go test ./...` does not require credentials.
-
-Do not implement:
-- Glossary module.
-- Homophones module.
-- Spoken-word module.
-- Default full module sequence as active parity claim.
-
-### Expected behavior at end of phase
-
-Running `audita process ... --modules grammar` should perform real grammar-stage transcript polishing using the configured LLM endpoint.
-
-### Definition of done
-
-- Grammar module runs in the production runner.
-- Grammar module generates structured proposals through the LLM client.
-- Grammar validator chain runs.
-- Approved grammar proposals are applied.
-- Applied/skipped grammar changes appear in reports.
-- Prompt/response diagnostics are written.
-- `--modules grammar` works end-to-end.
-- Default pipeline is not yet claimed complete.
-- `go test ./...` passes without requiring external LLM credentials.
+Not implemented in Phase 12 (by design):
+- Production `glossary`, `homophones`, and `spoken_word` modules.
+- Full default module sequence execution as a feature-complete claim.

+		"Rules:\n" +
+		"- Allowed changes are punctuation, capitalization, spacing, and article cleanup only.\n" +
+		"- You may add, remove, or adjust commas, periods, quotation marks, apostrophes, dashes, ellipses, spacing, and capitalization when the underlying words stay the same.\n" +
+		"- You may change the whole-word article \"a\" to \"an\" or \"an\" to \"a\" when the surrounding text otherwise stays the same.\n" +
+		"- Homophone, spoken-form, and mistranscription corrections are handled during a later review stage; do not propose them here.\n" +
+		"- Do not make word substitutions, spelling fixes, homophone fixes, filler cleanup, repetition cleanup, paraphrases, or other semantic rewrites.\n" +
+		"- Do not change one written word into a different written word, except for capitalization changes to the same letters.\n" +
+		"- If a possible correction depends on changing a content word into a different word, omit it here rather than bundling it together with formatting cleanup.\n" +
+		"- Treat glossary names and aliases as protected spellings and context.\n" +
+		"- Do not replace, Anglicize, normalize, lowercase, or otherwise alter protected glossary names or aliases away from their glossary spelling.\n" +
+		"- Preserve canonical glossary capitalization for protected names and aliases, even if they look unusual.\n" +
+		"- If a segment includes categories, treat them as additional transcript context.\n" +
+		"- Use the exact id from the input segment.\n" +
+		"- For returned corrections, original_text must be only the exact text span that needs replacement, not the full segment text unless the whole segment is the replacement span.\n" +
+		"- Choose an original_text span that appears exactly once in the current segment text.\n" +
+		"- corrected_text must be only the replacement text for that span, not the full corrected segment text unless the whole segment is the replacement span.\n" +
+		"- Each returned correction must contain only id, original_text, corrected_text, and confidence.\n" +
+		"- Do not return corrections where original_text and corrected_text are identical.\n" +
+		"- Do not return speaker, start, or end fields.\n" +
+		"- Return only changed segments; do not return entries for unchanged segments.\n" +
+		"- confidence must be between 0.0 and 1.0.\n" +
+		"- If no corrections are needed, return an empty corrections list.\n\n" +
