From 64ff0c6791c532cc75b828a9f7b9010d56e6948a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chai Bot Date: Fri, 30 Oct 2026 19:07:46 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 01/43] Tighten [DOCS] story quality criteria and add re-evaluation on design-time changes MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Define seven numbered quality criteria for [DOCS] stories in decompose.md as a single authoritative source: searchable title, explicit reader/task, reader-verifiable AC, documentation scope, complete documentation inputs with fact/assumption/open-question distinction, contributing stories reference in Design Reference, and correct placement. Add re-evaluation gates so all design-time paths that create or modify [DOCS] stories check affected stories against these criteria: - /decompose: criteria are applied during story creation and verified by the decomposition review (criterion #8, updated to match). - /revise: new consistency check re-evaluates [DOCS] stories affected by direct edits or changes to their contributing DEV/UI stories. - /respond: new re-evaluation in Step 6 when review-driven design changes affect user-facing surfaces covered by [DOCS] stories. - /sync: new Step 3b validates [DOCS] stories before Jira creation/update, blocking low-quality tickets from reaching the documentation author. Update the DOCS story template to include a Contributing stories line in Design Reference for explicit traceability to implementation stories. Update test fixtures and add a test verifying Contributing stories reference resolution through sync rendering. Bump design workflow version 0.14.0 → 0.15.0 (MINOR — behavioral change).

Eliminates the sub-step numbering warning. R2: Split provenance responsibility between decomposer and reviewer. Remove impossible demand on independent reviewer (which lacks the design document) to verify unmarked input provenance. Add explicit decomposer-side provenance check (new Step 13) after review rounds to verify unmarked Documentation Inputs against design/PRD. R3: Add dependency reconciliation to respond.md DOCS re-evaluation, matching revise.md's pattern: add new contributor dependencies, remove obsolete entries, preserve unrelated prerequisites. R4: Add post-sync placement exemption to criterion 7 in decompose.md and sync Step 4 gate. Synced DOCS stories retain immutable filenames when later contributors are appended; sync creates new stories before updating existing ones, ensuring Jira key availability. R5: Include reopened DOCS stories and reopened DEV/UI contributors in affected-set evaluation across sync Step 4, revise, and respond. Update test fixtures to match renumbered steps (205 tests pass).

Sync DOCS reference guard: use valid story ordering (contributors before DOCS, story-03 not story-02), model skipped contributor creation, fix detect_changes API (returns dict not JSON string), fix compute_file_hash name, normalize line-wrapped guard text. Add lifecycle tests: deferred DOCS stays NEW on retry, resolves after contributor creation, checkpointed DOCS becomes unchanged. Add instruction contract test for guard coverage of 6a/6b/reopen.

Preserve canonical criterion 7 and reviewer independence. 2: Align MEDIUM severity evidence boundary to "PRD and artifact context" matching the rubric text. 3: Assert .find marker existence and correct order before slicing sync.md guard/callsite text in tests. Missing markers now cause clear assertion failures, not wrong-block slicing. 4: Replace both tautological filename-identity tests with meaningful detect_changes/manifest-identity checks: synced DOCS with late contributor stays unchanged, changed DOCS classified correctly. Add type annotation to _manifest_with_keys. 5: Rename stale #### 4a/4b → 3a/3b under decompose Step 3. 6: Add explicit reference-availability guard calls at 6a (create) and 6b (update/reopen) BEFORE prepare/render/Jira-write/checkpoint. Add callsite contract tests verifying guard reference and defer language in both sections. 7: Define bounded deferral: no retry in current /sync run; continue per-epic passes; record deferred file/keys/reason; report in Step 8 including deferred count and no-complete-sync warning. Next /sync invocation picks them up as new/changed. Add deferral-policy and Step 8 report contract tests.

Cross-cutting last-epic rule preserved. B: Move manifest identity check inside Step 8 per-finding value assessment — placement findings check sync identity BEFORE fix, not after all findings. Generic non-placement fixes proceed immediately. Manifest-tracked→dismiss, absent→initial placement, unreadable→request verification. C: Post-sync exemption and sync gate cover later-numbered prerequisite dependencies alongside contributors. Key check verifies Contributing stories AND Dependencies. 6b guard wording aligned ("required key" not "contributor key"). Add 6 contract tests: full last-story rule with QE/CI, identity gate before generic fix ordering, criterion 7 dependency coverage, non-contributing dependency resolution and deferral, sync exception consistency.

From 3769687b830367a705df83b880e26575c6e558ac Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chai Bot Date: Mon, 2 Nov 2026 16:52:06 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 17/43] Add review identity criterion, fix I/O encoding, coverage pointer, combining-epics safety MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit A: Add criterion 9 (Identity consistency) to decomposition review — checks visible ID/path self-consistency and flags rename/reuse proposals. Evidence-limited: no manifest/history required. HIGH severity for proven idempotency-breaking proposals. B: Replace bare open().read() with Path.read_text(encoding="utf-8"); add explicit encoding to all 9 introduced read_text/write_text sites. C: Fix 05-epics template coverage pointer (Step 8) → (Step 7). D: Fix combining-epics: do not mark absorbed parent epic status:removed while any child work should remain active — keep it as active container. Marking removed cascades/skips all children via existing helper (lines 740-742). Only remove when all children intentionally retired. Flag physical reparent as unsupported by file-authoritative model. Add 3 helper fixtures (removed parent cascades child, active parent preserves child, safe path with stable key) and 3 instruction contracts (revise guard, review criterion 9, coverage pointer).

Uses topological sort to ensure prerequisites are created before their dependents in a single /sync invocation. Detects cycles and missing targets before any Jira writes. sync.md changes: - Step 3: Plan creation order and preflight check before any Jira writes (including epic creation). Blocked stories with unsatisfiable references are reported to the user before approval. - Step 6a: Create new stories in planned dependency-first order across all epics (replaces per-epic numeric ordering). Reference-availability guard for all stories with Dependencies or Contributing stories. - Step 6b: Reference-availability guard for changed/reopened stories. - Step 4: DOCS quality validation only (reference checks moved to Step 3 preflight and Step 6a/6b guards). - Step 8: Report blocked stories (replaces deferred DOCS terminology). Key design decisions: - Contributing stories affect creation ORDER only, not Jira dependency links (only Dependencies create Jira links) - Already-synced stories with manifest keys satisfy dependencies without recreation - Cycle detection applies only to unsatisfied creation needs, not between already-keyed stories - Failed prerequisite → dependents blocked (no write/checkpoint) - Blocked stories remain eligible for next explicit /sync Helper reference updated with new subcommand documentation. 14 new tests: linear chain, cross-epic prerequisite, existing key reuse, cycle detection, missing target, deterministic order, DOCS contributing-only ordering, changed DOCS with missing new dep, mapped-key cycle distinction, multi-ref list, CLI subcommand, and 3 instruction contracts (preflight before epic writes, 6a planned order, Step 3 plan call).

Unavailable targets produce errors and block dependents. - Cycle detection via DFS reachability: a node is a cycle member only if it can reach itself. Downstream-blocked nodes reported separately with "blocked" diagnostic, not falsely labeled as cycle participants. - Changed/reopened stories with refs satisfiable by creation plan are NOT blocked at planning time (runtime guard checks after creation). sync.md: - Step 3 preflight: invalid plan (errors non-empty) is a hard stop, not an acknowledgement bypass. Blocked-only plans can proceed for eligible stories after approval. - Restored epic summary in dry-run and reopened status marker. - Step 6a: reload current manifest before each dependent's guard. Tests (20 planner tests replacing 14): - All fixtures use actual file identities matching _make_dev/docs_story. - New: reversed cross-epic, self-cycle, cycle-downstream distinction, removed-no-key unavailable, changed DOCS satisfiable vs unsatisfiable, deterministic shuffled input, DOCS contrib-only ordering verified through actual prepare() output (no Jira dep links). - CLI success with all expected JSON keys. - 3 instruction contracts with marker bounds.

Epic ref extraction: _get_required_refs now extracts Epic refs (Epic N, Epics N,M) alongside Story refs, and recognizes native Jira keys (PROJ-123) as externally available references. Invalid local Epic refs (e.g. Epic 999) are diagnosed before writes. 2. CLI exit code: plan-creation-order now returns EXIT_ERROR (1) when the plan contains errors, instead of unconditionally returning 0. check-ref-availability also returns nonzero when stories are blocked. 3. Unavailable ref owner exclusion: Stories with unresolvable refs (nonexistent targets, removed/no-key sources, unreadable files) are excluded from the ordered list along with their transitive dependents. Distinguishes real cycles from downstream blocks and preflight-blocked stories consistently. 4. Runtime availability check: New check_ref_availability() helper and check-ref-availability CLI subcommand. Reloads manifest fresh, checks story+epic refs and owning epic key, handles native Jira keys as always-available. Never mutates manifest or source files. 34 new tests (314 total, 0 failures) covering epic ref extraction, native Jira key handling, DOCS Contributing ordering with real detect_changes items, CLI exit codes via subprocess, unavailable ref exclusion with transitive blocking, check_ref_availability ready/blocked/after-recording/no-mutation scenarios, and unreadable source error handling.

check-ref-availability into sync consumer, share ref extractor, preflight changed refs MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Complete consumer integration for the reference-availability guard: 1. sync.md Steps 6a/6b now explicitly call `check-ref-availability` CLI on the current story and fresh on-disk manifest BEFORE calling `prepare`. Nonzero exit blocks/skips that story with precise reason while continuing independent eligible work. Step 3 preflight description covers changed/reopened invalid refs. 2. Shared `extract_required_refs()` top-level function used by both planner `_get_required_refs` and runtime `check_ref_availability`. Same DOCS-only Contributing rule, existing Story/Epic list grammar, and explicit native Jira keys. Ambiguous same-index files produce a structured blocked result instead of silently picking candidates[0]. 3. Changed/reopened stories with invalid refs (Story 9.99, Epic 999) now append to errors — CLI returns nonzero at structural preflight BEFORE unrelated Step 5 epic writes. Valid planned new targets remain acceptable before creation. 4. Helper reference (sync-helper-usage.md) documents check-ref-availability subcommand with bash recipe, JSON output shape, exit semantics, and invariants. 12 new tests (326 total, 0 failures): changed/reopened invalid refs with CLI exit codes, sync.md consumer contracts for 6a/6b guard wiring, DOCS Contributing with mapped parents + PREP verification, fresh manifest missing→record→ready flow, failed-parent blocking with independent ready, ambiguous file detection, portable mocked unreadable source.

(4458710764, 4458710805) Document plan-creation-order and check-ref-availability in module docstring and helper reference table. Clarify that structured invalid/blocked results exit 1 WITH JSON, while fatal I/O/manifest errors also exit 1 but with stderr only and no JSON. 2. (4458710793) Use re.fullmatch for qualified ID validation in check_ref_availability — trailing garbage like "story-1.01abc" is now rejected. Filename regexes (trailing slug expected) unchanged. Regression tests added for trailing garbage, newlines, valid QID, and CLI behavior. 3. (4458710819) Remove unreachable "blocked but no errors" partial- proceed branch from Step 3; pin the invariant that every blocked item has at least one root-cause error entry. Preflight stop before any writes preserved; Step 8 runtime reporting unchanged. 4. (4458710829) Fail-closed result interpretation in Steps 6a and 6b: three-way distinction between ready (proceed), structured blocked (skip story, continue independent work), and helper failure (stop sync, report stderr). No Jira write or checkpoint on blocked or fatal. Step 8 records per-story missing refs. 5. Outside-diff tests: 6b ordering assertion proves check-ref before prepare; 6a guard scoped to guard paragraph; behavioral contracts for no-prepare/no-checkpoint/Step 8 reporting; fatal-vs-blocked CLI distinction with corrupted manifest test. 339 tests, 0 failures.

Three-way guard interpretation is now a complete fail-closed partition with explicit catch-all: ready (exit 0 + valid JSON + QID in ready only), blocked (exit 1 + valid JSON + QID in blocked with missing/reason), catch-all failure (every other outcome including exit 0 invalid JSON, missing/wrong QID, QID in both lists, malformed fields, unexpected codes). Catch-all stops sync and reports stderr; no skip or continue. 2. Bash snippet uses `|| REF_EXIT=$?` idiom so expected exit 1 is captured under errexit without aborting independent work. 3. Step 6b guard explicitly prohibits prepare, render, update, reopen, and checkpoint on blocked or failed stories (not just checkpoint). 4. Tests: guard-scoped assertions with existence/order bounds before slicing; 6b ordering proves check before prepare; catch-all covers exit 0 invalid JSON and conflicting QID; blocked CLI asserts matching QID/missing-refs/empty-ready; valid QID fixture asserts actual ready entry and empty blocked; planner negative case pins blocked→errors invariant; Step 8 per-story missing/reason contract; Step 3 no unreachable blocked-success-path wording. 346 tests, 0 failures.

R2: Self-references (own qid, native key, resolved alias) BLOCK the source in both planner and runtime guard — not silently satisfied. Covers Dependencies and DOCS Contributing stories. Native key extraction added for Contributing section. R3: Per-guard mktemp stderr capture replaces fixed ref_check_err.txt in sync 6a/6b and helper reference. Cleanup in every branch; fatal path reads text before removal. R4: Remove two Step 3 preview remnants: blocked-stories placeholder and ({B} blocked) suffix on create total. R5: Revise manifest note clarifies partial mappings (not "all synced"). Batch rule updated for cross-epic creation batch. Helper reference corrects old per-epic order promise to dependency-first. Tests: 403 total (57 new) — self-ref unit/planner/runtime/CLI/DOCS, quality gate consumer, preview cleanup, guard recipe, approval/order, Bash temp capture, Contributing native key extraction.

Integration tests for canonical/non-canonical/ resolved-alias paths with real manifest fixtures. B: Self-ref blocked entries use invalid_refs (not missing) with accurate reason; legitimate missing-ref cases retain their data. Planner new-story self-ref gets specific reason (not generic "unavailable prerequisite"). Renamed test_mapped_cycle_preserved to test_unmapped_new_cycle_detected; added mapped-peer positive control (distinct keys, A→B→A accepted at runtime). C: Temp capture does cat+rm immediately after helper call (before branch interpretation) so cleanup cannot be forgotten. Aligned 6a, 6b and helper-reference recipes. Real documented-recipe tests with actual helper, real fixtures, errexit, no-clobber and allocation-failure proof. D: Step 6a cross-references Step 5 confirmation covering the ordered creation batch. Quality gate trace tests verify all approval flow cross-references. Tests: 423 total (77 new vs d10f106 baseline of 346).

R2: Track actual unavailable ref IDs during planning and include them in blocked[].missing — removes the placeholder '(see errors for qid)'. Source-read failures use reason without fake IDs; self-refs use invalid_refs/reason (unchanged). R3: Scope DOCS criterion 5 and template to 'within this DOCS story's declared scope' rather than feature-wide inventory. R4: Include 04-testplan.md in replacement-reviewer branch resource list in decompose.md Step 9. R5: Add parent-epic retirement (status: removed on parent) to revise.md DOCS affected-set triggers — even when the contributor's own file is unchanged. R6: Add post-cascade DOCS reconciliation in revise.md Step 4 — re-read and reconcile inputs/contributors/dependencies after IC/testplan story cascades complete. R7: Fail-closed Step 3 plan-creation-order capture in sync.md using mktemp/errexit-safe pattern — empty, malformed, or unexpected output is fatal before preview. R8: Repeat /decompose loads and reconciles existing 05-epics, 06-stories, 07-coverage artifacts with preserved identities. Controller 'from scratch' reworded to 'rebuilds plan against preserved existing identities'. R9: Fix bare sync.md resource reference in sync-helper-usage.md to use correct relative path ../skills/sync.md.

Rename misleading test to test_both_sections_extracted. B: R2 tests: add owner with BOTH direct unavailable ref AND blocked graph prerequisite asserting both actual IDs in missing. Add CLI fixture. C: R5/R6 instructions: post-cascade DOCS reconciliation recomputes affected set from post-cascade state (not cached initial). Reapply seven criteria after edits before Step 5. Tests assert ordering: IC cascade → TC cascade → reconciliation → Step 5, and recompute and criteria predicates within reconciliation block. D: R7 instruction: precise success contract requiring all four JSON fields with correct types, empty errors AND empty blocked. No invented status field. Tests assert field requirements, empty-ordered validity, and three CLI fixtures (valid-clean, structural-error, fatal-corrupted). E: R4 test locates exact replacement-reviewer paragraph with endpoints. R8 test locates repeat-decompose block and asserts inventory/loading before Step 2, delete/recreate prohibition. F: R5 parent-retirement helper test uses actual detect_changes with changed hash to exercise parent-override path.

Coverage is rebuilt in Step 7 from retained decomposition artifacts. F2: Add item 6 to repeat-decompose guidance: work no longer retained in the new plan is marked status: removed. Epics stay active when any child is retained, preserving cascade safety. F3: Add trigger (f) to revise.md DOCS re-evaluation: parent-epic restoration makes unmarked children effectively active again while individually removed children stay retired.

An item From 614cfc4533d167894439cbde3da8510b8061e3b2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Chai Bot Date: Mon, 9 Nov 2026 21:03:41 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 38/43] Add source activity filter and cascade closure preview for sync R1: detect_changes now emits source_active on every item. Stories under removed/closed parents or with own removed status have source_active=false, excluding them from the Step 4 DOCS quality gate. This prevents historical DOCS stories under inactive source parents from blocking unrelated syncs when a contributor changes. R2: New compute_cascade_closures helper and compute-cascade-closures CLI subcommand surface manifest-active children that Step 5c will close as part of approved parent cascades. The Step 3 preview now includes these cascade closures in the To Close section with parent attribution, ensuring the approval covers all operations the sync will actually perform.

Added DOCS-specific fixtures: unchanged DOCS under removed parent with changed contributor, and restored-active DOCS positive case. B: compute_cascade_closures uses detect_changes items lookup for qualified file identity instead of reconstructing paths. Uses same synced_status default ("active") as detect_changes. Validates jira_key on parent and child — emits errors for blank keys instead of approving unexecutable operations. C: Added close_orphans=True full-union test verifying removed parent cascades regardless of orphan flag, and orphan child already individually closing produces 0 additional cascades. D: Replaced bare CASCADE_JSON recipe with fail-closed capture pattern (mktemp, errexit-safe, immediate cleanup). Added typed JSON/errors validation and three-branch interpretation matching plan-creation- order pattern. Removed literal bracket optional arg. E: Added Step 5c cascade scope guard: verify manifest-active children match approved preview before child writes; STOP and re-preview if new unapproved children would expand writes.

This caused false blocks when a parent had both individually removed and cascade-only children. Fix: guard now compares against the full union of individually listed children and supplemental cascades, using subset semantics. Fresh sync set source_active unconditionally True for all stories, including those under non-numeric parent directories (epic-abc/). plan-creation-order then silently dropped these stories (qid None), quietly losing planned work. Fix: source_active is False when epic_index is None; plan-creation-order reports a structural error for actionable items with unparseable parent identity.
