All-angle verification meta-skill for near-complete artifacts. Turns vague design anxiety into structured challenger waves using fh-commons:quench-challenger, then drives defense and convergence until root weaknesses, residual risks, and added complexity are explicit. Covers standard attack/defense rounds, optional Meta-Aware Adversary mode for AI-specific risks such as hallucination, context collapse, prompt injection, and tool lock-in, and Wave-P3 re-attack after an upstream gate declares PASS. Built-in outputs emphasize attack-plus-prescription pairs and can feed fh-meta:persona-innovator after convergence. Triggered by: "quench this", "devil's judgment", "all-angle review", "end-to-end verification", "steel quench", "deep pre-completion inspection", "did it really pass?".
