+# S04 Post-Slice Assessment
+
+**Verdict: Roadmap unchanged.**
+
+S04 delivered exactly as planned — preferences, validation, resolver, and auto.ts gating all work. No new risks surfaced. No assumptions invalidated.
+
+## Success Criteria Coverage
+
+All six success criteria have remaining owning slices (S05, S06, S07) or are already proven by completed slices (S02, S03, S04). No gaps.
+
+## Requirement Coverage
+
+R033 and R034 moved to validated. All remaining active requirements (R029-R032, R035-R041) still map to their planned slices. No ownership changes needed.
+
+## Forward Notes
+
+- S05 can proceed as written — preference system is fully wired and available.
+- Node `--experimental-strip-types` Unicode issue flagged by S04 may affect test files in S07 — noted in S04 follow-ups, not a roadmap concern.
