@.agent-loop/initiatives/WS-ENG-007-concurrent-pr-review-reconciliation/chunks/WS-ENG-007-02-finding-track-reconciliation.md:
- Around line 47-49: Define the canonical finding-ID payload by specifying the
immutable identity fields, field ordering, serialization format, UTF-8 encoding,
and a version marker; explicitly exclude mutable fields such as disposition and
changing evidence. Document that IDs are SHA-256 hashes of this representation
and require deterministic collision rejection rather than silently accepting
conflicting findings.
- Around line 62-72: The reconciliation contract must define the
contradictory/cross-track predicate used by resolved_upstream: specify how
findings are linked to the same target and track, what constitutes a
contradictory finding, and how each case maps to resolved_upstream, still_valid,
unknown, or track_stale. Update the resolution rules and tests around the
resolved_upstream criteria so unrelated findings cannot block resolution, while
linked contradictory or cross-track findings produce the required deterministic
non-closure outcome.

@.agent-loop/initiatives/WS-ENG-007-concurrent-pr-review-reconciliation/chunks/WS-ENG-007-03-merge-group-parity.md:
- Around line 86-95: Extend the Verification commands section to add and invoke
a workflow-specific static/synthetic merge-group test, such as the repository’s
established test symbol, covering merge_group topology, exact github.sha
binding, context names, PR-payload guards, cancellation isolation, and required
negative fixtures. Keep the existing YAML parsing and other checks, but do not
treat them as sufficient for queue readiness.
In
@.agent-loop/initiatives/WS-ENG-007-concurrent-pr-review-reconciliation/PLAN.md:
- Around line 47-51: Unify the unknown-impact rule across all three contracts:
in PLAN.md lines 47-51, explicitly state that any unknown path, class, or edge
impact stales all tracks; in chunks/WS-ENG-007-01-reviewed-patch-base-delta.md
lines 70-73, replace the scoped “all potentially affected tracks” wording with
the universal rule; and in chunks/WS-ENG-007-02-finding-track-reconciliation.md
lines 50-52, allow targeted reruns only when impact is deterministic, while
unknown impact stales every track.
- Around line 75-89: Update the Finding predicate grammar and bound evidence
model for diagnostic_absent to record an immutable repository-owned checker
identity or digest, its version, and the input/output schema. During evaluation,
compare the recorded identity and schema with the checker actually used; any
mismatch must produce unknown and mandate track_stale, while preserving the
existing diagnostic-absence semantics for matching checkers.
In
@.agent-loop/initiatives/WS-ENG-007-concurrent-pr-review-reconciliation/reviews/WS-ENG-007-PLAN-internal-review-evidence.md:
- Line 17: Replace the ENG-006-based reviewer run IDs in the evidence for
WS-ENG-007-PLAN with durable, initiative-specific WS-ENG-007 provenance,
assigning distinct authoritative IDs to each reviewer track. If the existing
paths must remain, explicitly document their authority and mapping to every
WS-ENG-007 track.

154-156: 🔒 Security & Privacy | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick winRequire fresh human approval; do not “retain” approval.
Lines 138-140 correctly state that stale approval may be dismissed and must not be preserved or synthesized, but this algorithm says to “retain explicit human merge approval.” That wording could be implemented as carrying approval from the reviewed tree to the candidate tree. Replace it with an explicit requirement for fresh human approval on the candidate/merge-group SHA.

Chunk
WS-ENG-007-PLAN- Concurrent PR Review Reconciliation PlanningMerge intent:
.agent-loop/merge-intents/WS-ENG-007-PLAN.jsonGoal
Plan deterministic reconciliation so concurrent PRs always rerun CI on the exact combined tree while preserving only unaffected internal agent-review tracks.
Human-Approved Intent
The user explicitly approved continuing after reviewing the completed plan.
.agent-loop/initiatives/WS-ENG-007-concurrent-pr-review-reconciliation/INTENT.md.agent-loop/initiatives/WS-ENG-007-concurrent-pr-review-reconciliation/PLAN.md.agent-loop/initiatives/WS-ENG-007-concurrent-pr-review-reconciliation/CHUNK_MAP.mdWhat Changed
Scope Control
Planning artifacts only. No runtime, workflow, tests, dependencies, repository settings, coverage floors, or signed loop-memory implementation changed.
Evidence
Reviewed code SHA:
fd153b0ee7c62d3b6fe1ad157f243cc34aadacbeAll nine required internal tracks passed after valid findings were repaired. The exact evidence is in
WS-ENG-007-PLAN-internal-review-evidence.md.Commands passed: merge-intent validation, internal-review evidence, loop-memory state, Markdown links, stale wording, Agent Gates, and
git diff --check.CI And Gate Integrity
Remaining Risks
Ambiguous deltas intentionally invalidate review. Real merge-group verification remains a distinct post-merge human-admin checkpoint after chunk 03.
Human Review Focus
Confirm exact combined-tree CI always reruns, only unaffected internal agent tracks may survive, human GitHub approval is never reused, and implementation remains stopped.
Human Merge Ownership
Summary by CodeRabbit
Why It Changed
Concurrent PRs currently force coarse internal-review invalidation after any base advance. This plan keeps exact combined-tree CI mandatory while allowing only provably unaffected internal reviewer tracks to remain valid.
Design Chosen
Use immutable Git object identities, exact three-tree reconstruction, a closed repository-owned boundary graph, versioned finding identities, deterministic resolution predicates, and conservative all-track invalidation for unknowns. Human approval is never reused or synthesized.

External Review
The first-planning-intake grammar permits exactly the two canonical PLAN review files, so external response is recorded in the CodeRabbit threads and the checked-in PR trust bundle rather than adding a forbidden third review file.
Follow-Up Work
After this planning PR merges, stop. WS-ENG-007-01 requires a separate explicit signed start on exact current main.
