Selective evaluator escalation must finalize dependent judgments before publishing a pass.

When tool-selection and argument checks share cached evidence, a later argument mismatch can trigger a validity review that changes whether the tool judgment is assessable. Publishing the tool PASS first makes results depend on evaluation order. Cache the final per-action pair after argument review, then expose either dimension. Cache identity must bind the exact pre-action evidence, observed action, schema, model and profile; a reviewer gap must not fall back to the earlier convenient PASS. This protects software integrity, not semantic accuracy.

Applies when: an evaluator conditionally escalates a later check and shares conclusions across dimensions. Keywords: evaluator selective escalation cache ordering stale pass arguments validity integration
