abcd land --record-review refuses a return whose first line under ### Verdict does not begin with the verdict word (internal/core/landing/review.go reviewVerdict), so '**977fb39cd: SHIP**' is refused as 'not one a validator writes', yet land --help says only that each return names the head's first nine characters under one ### Verdict heading. A host that briefs its reviewers from the help, as happened on 2026-10-31, gets passing reviews refused and has to ask each reviewer to re-emit.
