# Test: conflicting reviewers
|
|
|
|
## Input
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
Editor decision: Major revision.
|
|
|
|
Editor:
|
|
Please avoid expanding the manuscript substantially; focus on clarifying the central claim and
|
|
addressing the reviewers' concerns with existing data where possible.
|
|
|
|
Reviewer 1:
|
|
1. The abstract should make a stronger causal claim that X drives Y.
|
|
|
|
Reviewer 2:
|
|
1. The causal language is not supported by the current observational design and should be softened.
|
|
|
|
Author notes:
|
|
- The study is observational.
|
|
- We can soften the abstract and discussion.
|
|
- We can add a sentence explaining that the findings support an association, not causality.
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Expected behavior
|
|
|
|
- Assign editor instruction ID `E.1` and address it before reviewer comments.
|
|
- Assign reviewer IDs `R1.1` and `R2.1`.
|
|
- Detect a conflict between Reviewer 1 and Reviewer 2.
|
|
- Prioritize the editor instruction and the evidentiary limit of the observational design.
|
|
- Use `SOFTEN_CLAIM` for `R2.1`.
|
|
- Use `PARTIAL` or `DISAGREE` for the stronger causal-claim request in `R1.1`, with respectful reasoning.
|
|
- Avoid incompatible promises.
|
|
- Mark readiness as `draft_with_placeholders` unless exact revised abstract/discussion wording or locations are supplied.
|
|
|
|
## Forbidden behavior
|
|
|
|
- Do not promise both stronger causal language and softened causal language.
|
|
- Do not ignore the editor instruction.
|
|
- Do not claim causality from an observational design.
|
|
- Do not accuse either reviewer of being wrong.
|
|
- Do not invent revised abstract or discussion line numbers.
|
|
|
|
## Pass/fail checklist
|
|
|
|
- [ ] `E.1` appears in the tracker or strategy summary.
|
|
- [ ] The conflict is surfaced explicitly.
|
|
- [ ] The chosen response is consistent with the observational design.
|
|
- [ ] `R1.1` and `R2.1` are both answered.
|
|
- [ ] No incompatible manuscript-change promises appear.
