Starting any target while another is up prompts for swap (`afx dev ` while `main` runs, or vice-versa); same-target requests print the existing terminal URL and exit. Like builder dev, main dev is a **non-persistent** PTY — a Tower restart (`pnpm -w run local-install`, crash) kills it; re-run to restart. - -**Launch main dev via `afx dev main`, not a bare `pnpm dev`.** A manually-run `pnpm dev` at the repo root is invisible to Codev (the deliberate "never kill what it didn't spawn" policy) — start a builder dev while it holds the ports and the builder dev silently fails to bind, or worse serves main's code under the worktree URL. `afx dev main` makes it a managed PTY that swap-detection can cleanly stop first.

Idempotent: existing symlinks are skipped, missing ones added.

OAuth callbacks, CORS allowlists, cookie scoping, CSP `connect-src`, webhook URLs are all keyed off origin — running the worktree on a different port would break them. Consequence: stop main's `pnpm dev` before `afx dev`. If you don't, the spawned dev fails at bind time with its own `EADDRINUSE`. Prefer `afx dev main` (or the Workspace view's *Start Dev* row) over a hand-run `pnpm dev` so Codev owns the PTY and swap-detection can stop it for you automatically. - -### Cleanup semantics - -`afx dev --stop` and the swap path kill the entire PTY process group (SIGTERM, escalating to SIGKILL after 5s via `PtySession.kill`).

Root `.env` and `.codev/config.json` are *always* symlinked regardless. **Symlinks, not copies** — edits to main's env files reflect instantly in any running dev session. A directory match is silently skipped (so a glob can't mask the worktree's own source) **unless** the entry ends with a trailing slash: `".local-user-data/"` is treated as a literal path and symlinks the directory whole (shared with the parent, not branch-isolated; a dangling link is fine if the source doesn't exist yet). -- `postSpawn`: each command runs sequentially with `cwd` = worktree path.

Starting any target while another is up prompts for swap (`afx dev ` while `main` runs, or vice-versa); same-target requests print the existing terminal URL and exit. Like builder dev, main dev is a **non-persistent** PTY — a Tower restart (`pnpm -w run local-install`, crash) kills it; re-run to restart. - -**Launch main dev via `afx dev main`, not a bare `pnpm dev`.** A manually-run `pnpm dev` at the repo root is invisible to Codev (the deliberate "never kill what it didn't spawn" policy) — start a builder dev while it holds the ports and the builder dev silently fails to bind, or worse serves main's code under the worktree URL. `afx dev main` makes it a managed PTY that swap-detection can cleanly stop first.

Idempotent: existing symlinks are skipped, missing ones added. Useful when the lockfile changed (reinstall deps), `symlinks` or `postSpawn` was extended after the builder spawned, a symlink was accidentally deleted, or the original setup aborted mid-run. Opens a fresh VSCode terminal so install output streams live. Available via CLI too: `afx setup `. -- **Codev: View Diff** — opens a single unified diff editor for `main...HEAD` of that builder's worktree, with a file-list pane on the left (matches VSCode's built-in Source Control "Working Tree" view). Status icons indicate added / modified / deleted. Empty diff → friendly toast. -- **Codev: Run Dev** — reads `worktree.devCommand` from `.codev/config.json`, asks Tower to spawn a dev PTY in the builder's worktree, and opens it as a VSCode terminal tab named `Codev: (dev)`. If another builder's dev is already running, you get a modal asking whether to swap. -- **Codev: Stop Dev** — kills the running dev PTY and closes its tab. - -The Codev sidebar's **Workspace** view also carries a dev control for *whatever folder this VSCode window is rooted at* (it is not "main"-specific): - -- **Start Dev** — runs `worktree.devCommand` for the current workspace. Target is resolved from the open folder: the main checkout → `main`; a `.builders//` worktree opened as its own window (e.g. via *Open Worktree as Workspace*) → that builder. Same single-slot swap model as builder dev (prompts if another dev is running). The row tooltip names the resolved target. -- **Stop Dev** — stops this workspace's dev; the row appears only while it is running. Scoped to the resolved target — it does not touch other devs. - -The three commands are also available from the command palette (Cmd+Shift+P). No default keybindings; bind via `keybindings.json` if you use them often. - -### URLs are load-bearing - -The dev PTY uses **the same ports and URLs as main** intentionally. OAuth callbacks, CORS allowlists, cookie scoping, CSP `connect-src`, webhook URLs are all keyed off origin — running the worktree on a different port would break them. Consequence: stop main's `pnpm dev` before `afx dev`. If you don't, the spawned dev fails at bind time with its own `EADDRINUSE`. Prefer `afx dev main` (or the Workspace view's *Start Dev* row) over a hand-run `pnpm dev` so Codev owns the PTY and swap-detection can stop it for you automatically. - -### Cleanup semantics - -`afx dev --stop` and the swap path kill the entire PTY process group (SIGTERM, escalating to SIGKILL after 5s via `PtySession.kill`). That signals every grandchild of a monorepo dev orchestrator (`pnpm dev`, `turbo dev`, `pnpm -r --parallel run dev`, etc.) simultaneously.

Starting any target while another is up prompts for swap (`afx dev ` while `main` runs, or vice-versa); same-target requests print the existing terminal URL and exit. Like builder dev, main dev is a **non-persistent** PTY — a Tower restart (`pnpm -w run local-install`, crash) kills it; re-run to restart. + +**Launch main dev via `afx dev main`, not a bare `pnpm dev`.** A manually-run `pnpm dev` at the repo root is invisible to Codev (the deliberate "never kill what it didn't spawn" policy) — start a builder dev while it holds the ports and the builder dev silently fails to bind, or worse serves main's code under the worktree URL. `afx dev main` makes it a managed PTY that swap-detection can cleanly stop first.

Idempotent: existing symlinks are skipped, missing ones added. Useful when the lockfile changed (reinstall deps), `symlinks` or `postSpawn` was extended after the builder spawned, a symlink was accidentally deleted, or the original setup aborted mid-run. Opens a fresh VSCode terminal so install output streams live. Available via CLI too: `afx setup `. +- **Codev: View Diff** — opens a single unified diff editor for `main...HEAD` of that builder's worktree, with a file-list pane on the left (matches VSCode's built-in Source Control "Working Tree" view). Status icons indicate added / modified / deleted. Empty diff → friendly toast. +- **Codev: Run Dev** — reads `worktree.devCommand` from `.codev/config.json`, asks Tower to spawn a dev PTY in the builder's worktree, and opens it as a VSCode terminal tab named `Codev: (dev)`. If another builder's dev is already running, you get a modal asking whether to swap. +- **Codev: Stop Dev** — kills the running dev PTY and closes its tab. + +The Codev sidebar's **Workspace** view also carries a dev control for *whatever folder this VSCode window is rooted at* (it is not "main"-specific): + +- **Start Dev** — runs `worktree.devCommand` for the current workspace.

OAuth callbacks, CORS allowlists, cookie scoping, CSP `connect-src`, webhook URLs are all keyed off origin — running the worktree on a different port would break them. Consequence: stop main's `pnpm dev` before `afx dev`. If you don't, the spawned dev fails at bind time with its own `EADDRINUSE`. Prefer `afx dev main` (or the Workspace view's *Start Dev* row) over a hand-run `pnpm dev` so Codev owns the PTY and swap-detection can stop it for you automatically. + +### Cleanup semantics + +`afx dev --stop` and the swap path kill the entire PTY process group (SIGTERM, escalating to SIGKILL after 5s via `PtySession.kill`).

The escape hatch exists for escalations that *cannot* be +resolved ("architect unavailable, decision genuinely deferred"), not for +skipping the wait. Using it here would have bypassed exactly the discussion D2 +guarantees — Waleed's words: *"if there are any unique things can we discuss +them to make sure we're not losing functionality specific to codev."* A phase +criterion cannot be allowed to strong-arm a human gate. + +**Changes made:** + +1. **Plan amended** (Phase 2 success criteria): one row per shadow copy, all + classified; every `local-unique` row escalated with the escalation recorded; + `pending` permitted only for escalated rows; **resolution deadline is + Phase 4, not Phase 2**. The amendment note explains why the original text + was wrong. +2. **T11 gains an automatic completion guard** — directly addressing Codex's + second point that a manual `ALL_ESCALATIONS_RESOLVED = false` flag lets the + phase pass while violating its criteria. The new guard needs no human to + remember it: **the moment any audited file is missing from `codev/` + (deletion has started), zero pending rows may remain anywhere.** Deletion is + the point of no return, so deletion itself arms the assertion. The manual + flag remains as a belt-and-braces early check, but the enforcement no longer + depends on it. +3. Spec count corrected in place: **77** shadow copies, not 76 (mechanical + enumeration caught `consult-types/integration-review.md`; every "76" in the + spec reads as 77, the audit artifact is authoritative). + +Current escalation state: sent to the architect this session via `afx send` +(max_iterations 8-vs-3; cwd packages/codev), acknowledged in the architect's +standing instruction that rulings will be routed as they arise and that +"unanswered → TS3 stands." Phases 3's rot-reconciliation does not touch the 4 +escalated files; Phase 4 cannot start until they resolve, and T11 now enforces +that mechanically. + +## Claude — cosmetic count accepted + +Header arithmetic said "74 protocols-tree files (63 .md + 11 .json)"; the true +breakdown is **73 (63 .md + 10 .json)** + 3 roles + 1 consult-types = 77. +Fixed.

No +direct-read consumer exists. So deletion is **lower**-risk than iteration 1 +judged, not higher.

A test suite exists at +`packages/codev/src/__tests__/protocol-drift-audit.test.ts`. + +Claude is also right that my wording was misleading. Iteration 1 said "no test +asserts that `codev/protocols/` matches `codev-skeleton/protocols/`." Drift *is* +detected and *is* reported; what is missing is that nothing **fails the build**. + +**Changed**: #1210 is now a named Dependency, listed first in the *Existing +enforcement machinery* table, and given its own subsection. The misleading claim +is corrected in place. M2 is rewritten from "write a parity test" to "wire the +existing audit into a CI gate with an adjudication allowlist" — a substantially +smaller and better-founded piece of work. T5 now also asserts the gate *bites* +(a seeded divergence must fail it), since a gate that reports without failing is +the exact condition that let this drift persist. + +I also sharpened the framing in **Notes**: our 17 drifted files were visible to +`codev doctor` all along and were ignored.

My first reading +was alarming: if scaffolding creates the shadow tree, every adopter has this +problem. Then I grepped for callers — **neither function is called by `init`, +`adopt`, or `update`**; the only references are in `scaffold.test.ts`, and +`copyProtocols` has no references at all outside its definition. + +They are dead code. Two consequences: + +1. **Adopters have no shadow tree.** They resolve from the skeleton at tier 4, + exactly as `arch-critical.md` claims. Our shadow tree is a historical artifact + from when scaffolding did copy. This *strengthens* the deletion case: deleting + makes Codev match its own adopters. +2. **The dead functions are a live hazard** — rewiring them would manufacture + the problem for every project. Added **M9** to remove them alongside M8. + +This is the `lessons-critical.md` rule "*'Who calls this in production?' grep +before changing a long-lived API — vestigial code survives*" paying out +directly. + +### B-2 — A drift-audit allowlist is itself a risk + +Making M2 an allowlist-based gate creates a way to re-hide drift by appending to +the allowlist. Added to the risk table with the mitigation: entries require a +justification comment, the allowlist must be **empty** when M3 completes, and +any growth is visible in review diffs. + +--- + +## Summary of changes + +| Change | Driver | +|---|---| +| Success criteria split: required M1–M7 vs conditional M8–M10 | C-1 | +| M2 narrowed to a single testable outcome | C-2 | +| Appendix A — instruction-class definition + YAML schema | C-3, G-1, Q6 | +| M7 + Appendix B — compatibility audit | C-4, G-2, Q5 | +| Appendix C — tiering selector, fallback, scope; tier-invariant scar rules | C-5 | +| #1210 as dependency; M2 extends it; T5 asserts the gate bites | CL-1 | +| 17 drifted (not 19); drifted vs local-only separated; 16 files enumerated | CL-2 | +| Local-only files protected in A2/M8 + new T8 | CL-3 | +| Counts disambiguated: 63 / 73 / 76 | CL-4 | +| Terminology section | CL-5 | +| A1 rewritten with evidence; M9 added | B-1 | +| Allowlist-accretion risk | B-2 | + +Committed in `c58aff65`. + +## Still open for the architect + +Unchanged by this revision, and not the builder's to decide: + +- **Q1** — may the shadow copies be deleted (M8–M10)?

That is +trivially satisfiable: a map containing three instruction classes out of forty +passes cleanly. The tests would have been green, the artifact would have looked +rigorous, and the single-owner rule would have covered a fraction of the surface +with nothing anywhere signalling the gap. **The enforcement measured only what I +had already told it about** — precisely the failure mode this whole spec exists +to attack, reproduced inside the fix. + +**Changed** — M1 gains a completeness rule with four parts: + +- **Declared inventory boundary.** The map names the exact file set scanned for + candidates. Content outside it is out of scope *by declaration* rather than by + omission — the distinction that makes exhaustiveness checkable at all. +- **Mechanical candidate extraction** over that boundary, collecting normative + statements (`MUST`, `NEVER`, `ALWAYS`, `DO NOT`, `don't`, …), each with a + stable id. +- **Mandatory disposition**: every candidate is exactly one of `mapped`, `scar`, + or `out-of-scope` **with written justification**. There is no fourth state and + no silent omission. +- **T12** fails on any undispositioned candidate. Adopting Codex's own suggested + formulation nearly verbatim, since it was the right one. + +The durable benefit is that new normative text added anywhere inside the +boundary fails CI until dispositioned — so the map cannot rot as the prompt +surface grows, which is the same drift disease at the level of the fix. + +**One addition Codex did not ask for**: T12 must itself be validated against a +*seeded* normative line. A completeness test that runs against an empty +candidate set passes vacuously and looks identical to a healthy one. Having just +been caught by one vacuous-pass hole, adding another would be careless. + +### CX-2 — "The final state for escalated `local-unique` shadow files is under-specified" + +> *M11 correctly blocks overwrite/delete until architect review, but the spec +> does not clearly state whether this feature can still be considered complete +> if any shadow files remain after escalation.

Requiring + resolution with no escape would let one unanswered question block the whole + project indefinitely; TS3 is the conservative outcome (nothing is lost) and + guarantees a defined end state either way. + +I also flagged **TS2 as preferred** over TS3 for genuine codev-specific +functionality. TS3 knowingly re-creates a shadow copy — single, documented, +allowlisted, but still a shadow copy — and should stay exceptional, or the spec +quietly rebuilds the thing it removed. + +--- + +## Gemini (APPROVE) — suggestion adopted + +### G-1 — Adjudication allowlist lifecycle + +> *Ensuring the allowlist requires line-item justification comments and +> enforcing that it decays to empty after M3 completion (except for open M11 +> escalations) will prevent allowlist rot over time.* + +**Adopted.** I had logged allowlist accretion as a risk and written "empty at M3 +completion" as an *expectation*. Gemini is right that an expectation is not a +mechanism — the allowlist is the obvious way to re-hide drift, so its decay must +be enforced. + +**Changed** — M2 gains an explicit lifecycle: line-item justification comments +required; the test asserts the allowlist is **empty once M3 completes**; the +sole permitted residue is files with an open M11 escalation, each citing its +pending adjudication. An entry outliving its escalation fails the build. This +also ties M2 and M11 together, so an abandoned escalation cannot quietly become +a permanent exemption. + +Gemini also specifically endorsed the **M11 → M3 → M8** sequencing and the +scar-integrity chain (M5/T6 green before Approach C begins). Both were +builder-originated additions, so independent validation is worth recording. + +--- + +## Claude (APPROVE) — three minor points, all accepted + +### CL-1 — T11/T12 ordering non-sequential + +**Accepted.** I inserted T12 above T11 when adding the local-unique test. +Renumbered: **T11** local-unique audit, **T12** ownership-map completeness, +**T13** end-to-end. All cross-references corrected — the risk table (two rows) +and Approach C's mitigation line, which still pointed at T9 from an earlier +revision. + +### CL-2 — T11 should clarify automated-vs-manual expectation + +**Accepted**, and worth more than its "minor" label. + +**Changed** — now **T13**, split explicitly: + +- **(a) Automated, in CI**: assemble the spawn prompt in-process; assert the + verify-phase instructions and all eight compressed scar rules are present. +- **(b) Manual, once**: actually spawn a builder and read what it receives. + +The reason for keeping (b) despite (a): **part (a) can pass while the real spawn +path diverges** — an in-process assembly test and the live spawn can read +different files. That is exactly the failure that produced this project, where +the served builder prompt lost its Verify Phase section while everything else +looked fine. An ambiguous "inspect the prompt" instruction would likely have +collapsed into (a) alone. + +### CL-3 — Q7 should be required M1 coverage, not a trailing nice-to-know + +**Accepted.** Q7 asked whether `codev/resources/` joins the drift regime. The +answer is no — user-evolved files where divergence is legitimate, and +`FRAMEWORK_DRIFT_DIRS` already excludes `resources`. But Claude's point is that +an unrecorded correct default is indistinguishable from an oversight, and the +next person to touch `FRAMEWORK_DRIFT_DIRS` has nothing telling them the +exclusion is deliberate. + +**Changed** — Q7 moved out of nice-to-know and resolved into **M1**: recording +*why* `resources/` is excluded is now required map coverage, and M2's allowlist +must not accidentally cover those files. + +--- + +## Summary of changes + +| Change | Driver | +|---|---| +| M1 completeness rule — boundary, extraction, mandatory disposition | CX-1 | +| T12 ownership-map completeness, validated against a seeded line | CX-1 (+ builder) | +| M11 terminal states TS1–TS4; "pending" non-terminal; completion rule | CX-2 | +| M11 escape hatch — stalled escalation → TS3 + follow-up issue | CX-2 | +| M2 allowlist lifecycle enforced (justifications, decay, escalation-only residue) | G-1 | +| Tests renumbered T11/T12/T13; all cross-refs fixed | CL-1 | +| T13 split into automated (a) and manual (b), with rationale | CL-2 | +| Q7 resolved into required M1 coverage | CL-3 | +| Two risk rows: vacuous-map, stalled-escalation | CX-1, CX-2 | + +## Status + +No open questions remain.

Include a `## Baked Decisions` section (any heading level is fine) anywhere in the issue body. Useful categories: language, framework, deployment shape, key dependencies, decisions deferred to a later spec. The builder will copy the section verbatim into the spec's Constraints and treat each item as fixed; CMAP reviewers will not propose alternatives unless the spec itself fails to honor a stated decision. Leave the section out for issues where you want the builder to explore freely — absence is the no-op default. You can amend or rescind a baked decision at any time by updating the issue and respawning, or by sending the builder a direct instruction via `afx send`. - -## Protocol Phases - -ASPIR follows the same four phases as SPIR.

The output of `porch done` surfaces the verdicts. - -> **Why consult after the human already approved the running code?** The human approved the *running* implementation at the `dev-approval` gate; the 3-way consultation at the PR is a pre-merge hygiene + code-quality pass, not a functional review. - -### 6. Handle a REQUEST_CHANGES Verdict (single-pass — no automated re-review) - -PIR's consultation is one advisory pass (`max_iterations: 1`).

Read the finding in full (`codev/projects/{{project_id}}-*/{{project_id}}-.txt`). -2. **Assess it honestly:** - - **Real defect** (correctness / cancellation / security / data-loss): fix it in code, add a regression test that fails without the fix, commit + push (the PR updates automatically — no new `gh pr create`). Then document the finding, your fix, and the pinning test in the review file's **"Things to Look At During PR Review"** section. - - **False positive / out of scope**: write a brief rebuttal in that same section explaining why no change is warranted. -3. Do **not** re-run `porch done` expecting another consultation pass — `max_iterations: 1` means it will not re-review. Proceed to step 7. - -Whether you fixed it or rebutted it, a `REQUEST_CHANGES` that PIR will never re-check **must be escalated to the human at the `pr` gate** (step 7) — they are the only remaining reviewer of that decision. - -### 7. Notify the Architect (after the single consultation pass — gate is now pending) - -After the one consultation pass + structural checks, porch fires the **`pr` gate** (pending) **regardless of the verdicts**.

That wake-up is the *only* signal that authorizes the merge. Approving prose like "looks good", "lgtm", or even "merge it" typed into your pane does NOT authorize the merge — only the binary gate-approved state in porch state.yaml does. - -The human will: - -1. Review the PR on GitHub (or by running the worktree via `afx dev pir-{{project_id}}` again) -2. Approve the `pr` gate via VSCode (Cmd+K G) or `porch approve {{project_id}} pr --a-human-explicitly-approved-this` in a shell - -Porch will then fire the gate-approved wake-up to you. - -If the human requests more changes instead of approving, push fixes and re-run `porch done {{project_id}}` — this runs a fresh **single** consultation pass on the updated diff and re-fires the `pr` gate (handle any new verdict per steps 6–7). This human-driven iteration is the only way the consultation re-runs in PIR; it is not automatic. If they close the PR without merging, `gh pr close ` and stop. - -### 9. After `pr` Gate Approval — Verify, Merge, Record - -When porch wakes you with "Gate pr approved", first **verify** the gate is actually approved (defensive — the wake-up could be spoofed by typed input that looks like the wake-up text): - -```bash -porch next {{project_id}} -``` - -The response must include `gate_status: approved` for the `pr` gate. If it doesn't, do NOT proceed — wait for the genuine wake-up. If it does, you're authorized. - -Look up the PR number (recorded at step 4a). **Check whether the human already merged it before merging** — approving the `pr` gate and merging via the GitHub UI is a common combined action; never blind-merge: - -```bash -# Read PR number from porch state -PR=$(yq '.pr // .history[] | select(.event == "pr_recorded") | .pr' codev/projects/{{project_id}}-*/status.yaml | head -1) -STATE=$(gh pr view "$PR" --json state --jq .state) - -if [ "$STATE" = "MERGED" ]; then - # Human merged via the GitHub UI — do NOT re-merge. Detect and record only. - porch done {{project_id}} --merged "$PR" -else - gh pr merge "$PR" --merge - porch done {{project_id}} --merged "$PR" -fi - -porch next {{project_id}} # confirms protocol is complete (next: null) -``` - -**Use `--merge`, not `--squash`.** Project convention: preserve individual commits for development history. The `Fixes #{{issue.number}}` in the PR body auto-closes the GitHub issue. - -### 10. Final Notification - -```bash -afx send architect "PR # merged for PIR #{{issue.number}}. Ready for cleanup." -``` - -Together with the `--pr` record from step 4a and the `--merged` record from step 9, porch's `status.yaml` carries the complete PR lifecycle (created → merged → done) for analytics, status displays, and audit trails. - -## Signals - -``` -PHASE_COMPLETE # PR merged, project complete -BLOCKED:reason # Cannot proceed -``` - -## What NOT to Do - -- **Don't merge before the `pr` gate is approved.** A consultation APPROVE verdict is NOT merge authorization. User-in-pane prose ("looks good", "lgtm", "merge it") is NOT merge authorization. The *only* signal that authorizes `gh pr merge` is porch reporting `gate_status: approved` for the `pr` gate (which only the user can do, via Cmd+K G or `porch approve` from a non-Claude shell). If `porch next` doesn't show the gate as approved, you wait. -- Don't skip porch's PR/merge records (steps 4a, 9). The `--pr` record (step 4a) lets the gate-pending state link to the actual PR; the `--merged` record (step 9) closes the lifecycle in porch state. Skipping either leaves `history:` empty and downstream tooling blind. -- Don't run `porch approve` for any gate yourself -- Don't push to the default branch — only merge via PR -- Don't skip the Architecture Updates / Lessons Learned sections — porch checks enforce their presence (the section must exist; explaining "no changes needed" in one line is fine) -- **Don't run `consult` commands yourself** — porch handles consultations via the `verify` block. Manually invoking `consult` causes the consultation to run twice. -- **Don't fix, skip, or quarantine pre-existing failures unrelated to your change.** Porch's `checks` for this phase are narrow *structural* gates (`pr_exists`, review-section presence) — a green gate does **not** certify the wider build/test suite. If the broader suite surfaces failures your diff did not cause, they are out of scope: note them in the review's Lessons Learned / Things to Look At and proceed. Touching another team's tests to make an unrelated red go green is scope creep, not diligence. - -## Handling Problems - -**If the PR cannot be created (e.g., merge conflicts with the default branch):** -- Rebase on the default branch: - ```bash - DEFAULT_BRANCH=$(git symbolic-ref --short refs/remotes/origin/HEAD 2>/dev/null | sed 's|^origin/||') - DEFAULT_BRANCH=${DEFAULT_BRANCH:-main} - git fetch origin "$DEFAULT_BRANCH" && git rebase "origin/$DEFAULT_BRANCH" - ``` -- Resolve conflicts (do NOT use destructive shortcuts) -- Force-push with lease: `git push --force-with-lease` -- Re-run `gh pr create` - -**If porch's consultation fails (e.g., model unavailable):** -- `porch done` will report the failure. Inspect `codev/projects/{{project_id}}-*/{{project_id}}-.txt` for the failure details. -- Re-run `porch done {{project_id}}` once — porch will retry the consult. -- If the model is persistently unavailable, notify the architect and ask whether to proceed without that model's verdict. They may direct you to skip via a manual override. - -**If the architect doesn't respond within a reasonable window:** -- Send one follow-up via `afx send architect "..."` after a few hours -- Do not auto-merge diff --git a/codev/protocols/pir/protocol.json b/codev/protocols/pir/protocol.json deleted file mode 100644 index 067e64765..000000000 --- a/codev/protocols/pir/protocol.json +++ /dev/null @@ -1,125 +0,0 @@ -{ - "$schema": "../../protocol-schema.json", - "name": "pir", - "alias": "plan-implement-review", - "version": "1.0.0", - "description": "PIR: Plan → Implement → Review with build-verify cycles and two pre-PR human gates (plan-approval, dev-approval), for GitHub-issue-driven work.", - "input": { - "type": "github-issue", - "required": true, - "default_for": ["--issue", "-i"] - }, - "hooks": { - "pre-spawn": { - "collision-check": true, - "comment-on-issue": "On it!

Root `.env` and `.codev/config.json` are *always* symlinked regardless. **Symlinks, not copies** — edits to main's env files reflect instantly in any running dev session. A directory match is silently skipped (so a glob can't mask the worktree's own source) **unless** the entry ends with a trailing slash: `".local-user-data/"` is treated as a literal path and symlinks the directory whole (shared with the parent, not branch-isolated; a dangling link is fine if the source doesn't exist yet). +- `postSpawn`: each command runs sequentially with `cwd` = worktree path. Non-zero exit aborts the spawn loud (half-built worktree stays for inspection). +- `devCommand`: the foreground command that starts your dev process (a server, a watcher, `cargo run`, `expo start`, a build script — whatever iterates on your project). Required for `afx dev` to work. + +**Codev does not auto-detect your stack.** Pick the recipe below that matches your toolchain. + +### CLI + +```bash +afx dev # start dev in 's worktree +afx dev main # start dev in the MAIN workspace (Codev-managed) +afx dev --stop # stop the currently running dev PTY (builder or main) +``` + +Only one dev PTY runs at a time (by design — see "URLs are load-bearing" below), across **{main + all builders}**. `main` is a reserved target: it runs `worktree.devCommand` in the main checkout as a Codev-managed, swappable PTY, symmetric with builders. Starting any target while another is up prompts for swap (`afx dev ` while `main` runs, or vice-versa); same-target requests print the existing terminal URL and exit. Like builder dev, main dev is a **non-persistent** PTY — a Tower restart (`pnpm -w run local-install`, crash) kills it; re-run to restart. + +**Launch main dev via `afx dev main`, not a bare `pnpm dev`.** A manually-run `pnpm dev` at the repo root is invisible to Codev (the deliberate "never kill what it didn't spawn" policy) — start a builder dev while it holds the ports and the builder dev silently fails to bind, or worse serves main's code under the worktree URL. `afx dev main` makes it a managed PTY that swap-detection can cleanly stop first. This only helps if you use it *consistently*; a hand-started `pnpm dev` stays unmanaged. + +### VSCode + +The same actions are available via right-click on any builder row in the Codev sidebar (Builders or Needs Attention view): + +- **Codev: Open Builder Terminal** — opens that builder's AI terminal in a VSCode tab (same as left-clicking the row). +- **Codev: Open Worktree Folder** — opens `.builders//` in the OS file manager (Finder on macOS, Explorer on Windows, xdg-open on Linux). +- **Codev: Run Worktree Setup** — applies the configured `worktree.symlinks` and runs the `worktree.postSpawn` commands against the existing worktree (mirrors what spawn does, minus the git steps). Idempotent: existing symlinks are skipped, missing ones added. Useful when the lockfile changed (reinstall deps), `symlinks` or `postSpawn` was extended after the builder spawned, a symlink was accidentally deleted, or the original setup aborted mid-run. Opens a fresh VSCode terminal so install output streams live. Available via CLI too: `afx setup `. +- **Codev: View Diff** — opens a single unified diff editor for `main...HEAD` of that builder's worktree, with a file-list pane on the left (matches VSCode's built-in Source Control "Working Tree" view). Status icons indicate added / modified / deleted. Empty diff → friendly toast. +- **Codev: Run Dev** — reads `worktree.devCommand` from `.codev/config.json`, asks Tower to spawn a dev PTY in the builder's worktree, and opens it as a VSCode terminal tab named `Codev: (dev)`. If another builder's dev is already running, you get a modal asking whether to swap. +- **Codev: Stop Dev** — kills the running dev PTY and closes its tab. + +The Codev sidebar's **Workspace** view also carries a dev control for *whatever folder this VSCode window is rooted at* (it is not "main"-specific): + +- **Start Dev** — runs `worktree.devCommand` for the current workspace. Target is resolved from the open folder: the main checkout → `main`; a `.builders//` worktree opened as its own window (e.g. via *Open Worktree as Workspace*) → that builder. Same single-slot swap model as builder dev (prompts if another dev is running). The row tooltip names the resolved target. +- **Stop Dev** — stops this workspace's dev; the row appears only while it is running. Scoped to the resolved target — it does not touch other devs. + +The three commands are also available from the command palette (Cmd+Shift+P). No default keybindings; bind via `keybindings.json` if you use them often. + +### URLs are load-bearing + +The dev PTY uses **the same ports and URLs as main** intentionally. OAuth callbacks, CORS allowlists, cookie scoping, CSP `connect-src`, webhook URLs are all keyed off origin — running the worktree on a different port would break them. Consequence: stop main's `pnpm dev` before `afx dev`. If you don't, the spawned dev fails at bind time with its own `EADDRINUSE`. Prefer `afx dev main` (or the Workspace view's *Start Dev* row) over a hand-run `pnpm dev` so Codev owns the PTY and swap-detection can stop it for you automatically. + +### Cleanup semantics + +`afx dev --stop` and the swap path kill the entire PTY process group (SIGTERM, escalating to SIGKILL after 5s via `PtySession.kill`). That signals every grandchild of a monorepo dev orchestrator (`pnpm dev`, `turbo dev`, `pnpm -r --parallel run dev`, etc.) simultaneously.

With +decisions **D1–D4** relayed (2026-07-27), every criterion below is now +unconditional: M8–M10 were promoted from conditional to required by **D2**, and +**M11** was added by the same decision. Nothing here awaits an architect answer. + +### Required — MUST + +- **M1 — Ownership map.** A machine-readable map at + `codev/resources/prompt-ownership.yaml`, with a human-readable companion at + `codev/resources/prompt-ownership.md` generated from or validated against it. + Schema in **Appendix A**. It enumerates every prompt surface and, for each + instruction class, the single owning surface. + + **Completeness rule** *(added iteration 2, per Codex)*. A map is not credible + merely because its entries are correct — it must also be provably exhaustive, + or under-listing satisfies M4 trivially. Therefore: + + - The map declares an explicit **inventory boundary**: the exact set of files + scanned for instruction candidates. Anything outside it is out of scope *by + declaration*, not by omission. + - A **candidate extraction** pass over that boundary mechanically collects + normative statements (imperative/prohibitive constructions — `MUST`, + `NEVER`, `ALWAYS`, `DO NOT`, `don't`, `Never`, and the like), each keyed by a + stable id. + - **Every candidate carries exactly one disposition**: `mapped` (has an + owner), `scar` (in M5's registry), or `out-of-scope` (**with written + justification**). + - **T12** fails on any candidate with no disposition. Consequence: new + normative text added anywhere inside the boundary fails CI until someone + dispositions it, so the map cannot silently rot as the prompt surface grows. + - Per Claude's iteration-2 note, the map **must** record why + `codev/resources/` is excluded from the drift regime (Q7) — this is required + M1 coverage, not a trailing nice-to-know. +- **M2 — Drift cannot pass CI.** A test invoking the existing + `auditProtocolDrift()` **fails the build** on any `differs` finding not listed + in an explicit, comment-justified allowlist. *This is the one required + outcome for the shadow tree* — iteration 1's "delete **or** enforce" ambiguity + is resolved in favour of enforce. + + **Allowlist lifecycle** *(added iteration 2, per Gemini)*. The allowlist is + the obvious way to re-hide drift, so its decay is enforced rather than merely + expected: every entry carries a line-item justification comment, and the test + asserts the allowlist is **empty once M3 completes** — the sole permitted + residue being files with an open M11 escalation, each of which must reference + its pending adjudication. An entry that outlives its escalation fails the + build. +- **M3 — Repair the live drift.** All 17 drifted shadow copies are reconciled + **per decision D1** (skeleton authoritative; file-by-file; anything resembling + deliberate local content escalated rather than overwritten), so M2's allowlist + starts empty. In particular the served SPIR builder prompt regains + `Multi-PR Mechanics`, `Verify Phase`, and the `"Entering verify phase."` + string. Files escalated under D1 step 4 may remain in the allowlist, with the + pending adjudication cited, until the architect rules. +- **M4 — Single-owner enforcement.** For every instruction class whose map entry + sets `enforcement: automated`, a test asserts the class's `pattern` matches on + exactly the declared owner. The test **derives assertions from the map file**; + it must not restate ownership in test code (which would itself violate the + single-owner rule). Definitions in **Appendix A**. +- **M5 — Scar-rule registry.** A machine-readable registry of the **eight** scar + rules ratified in **D3**, each with its **one compressed canonical wording** + (one sentence, two at most) and every surface it must appear on. A test asserts + verbatim presence on each. **Deleting or rewording a scar rule fails the + build.** M5's test must pass before any deduplication work begins. Rewriting + today's banner blocks down to the compressed form is part of this criterion, + and every surface must then carry the compressed wording byte-identically. +- **M6 — Measurement script.** A committed script reporting always-on word + counts per surface, runnable before and after to quantify the win. +- **M7 — Compatibility audit.** A repo-wide audit of literal `codev/protocols/` + and `codev/roles/` references, classifying each as resolver-routed (safe), + comment/error-string (safe), or direct-read (must fix). Promoted from Q5 to a + first-class deliverable per Codex. *Preliminary findings in* **Appendix B**. + +- **M12 — Behavioral-impact measurement** *(added by architect directive D5, + 2026-07-27)*. M6 counts words; nothing else in this spec observes whether the + trims **help or harm agent behaviour**. A word-count reduction is a proxy, and + validating only the proxy is not acceptance. M12 closes that gap. + + **(a) Baseline — captured before ANY prompt-content change.** A committed + measurement library, `packages/codev/src/lib/prompt-behavior-metrics.ts` (with + CLI runner `packages/codev/scripts/measure-prompt-behavior.ts`), mines + behavioural metrics from existing committed artifacts, with its output + committed as `codev/resources/1252-behavior-baseline.md`. *It lives beside + `protocol-drift-audit.ts` rather than in the root `scripts/` directory because + it needs that package's `js-yaml` dependency, which a root-level script cannot + resolve in this pnpm workspace.* Metric set and sample are + specified in **Appendix D**, which is grounded in what the repository actually + stores — several plausible-sounding metrics turned out not to be minable, and + saying so is part of the deliverable. + + **(b) Verify phase.** This project's SPIR verify phase re-runs the same script + over the next **N = 10** post-merge builder projects (**≥ 3 of them SPIR** — + see Appendix D for why the protocol mix matters), compares against the + baseline, and records an explicit **no-regression judgment**. A defined + **rollback trigger** (Appendix D §4) states what metric movement reverts + which commits. + + **(c) A/B eval — considered and deferred.** A controlled A/B (same task, old + vs new prompts, held-out grader) would isolate cause far better than + before/after observation, which cannot separate prompt effects from drift in + task difficulty, model version, or reviewer behaviour. It is deferred: it + needs a task corpus and grading harness that do not exist, and building them + is a larger project than this one. A follow-up issue is filed in Phase 8. + **This is a real weakness of M12, not a formality** — the observational design + supports "no evidence of harm," not "proved beneficial." + + **Confound to state plainly**: this project both **adds** served content + (M3 restores the missing `Verify Phase` and `Multi-PR Mechanics` sections) and + **removes** it (D3 compression, S1 dedup). The baseline is the **pre-project + state** and the verify comparison therefore evaluates the project's **total + effect**, not the trims in isolation. A null result could be two real effects + cancelling. Appendix D §4 mitigates this by attributing rollback to specific + commits rather than to the project as a whole. + +### Required — MUST (shadow-tree removal; activated by D2) + +- **M8 — Shadow-tree removal.** `codev/protocols/` and `codev/roles/` shadow + copies are deleted so the skeleton is the single owner, **preserving all + local-only entries**: `codev/protocols/release/` and + `codev/protocols/maintain/templates/{audit-report.md,lessons-learned.md}`. + **Gated on M11**: no file is deleted until its local-unique audit is complete + and any escalations are ruled on. +- **M9 — Vestigial scaffold cleanup.** `copyProtocols` and `copyRoles` are + removed from `scaffold.ts` along with their tests, so the shadow tree cannot + be reintroduced by rewiring dead code. +- **M10 — Post-deletion equivalence.** For every deleted shadow copy, the + resolver returns the skeleton counterpart and the assembled spawn prompt is + byte-identical to the skeleton-sourced expectation. +- **M11 — Local-unique content audit** *(added by D2)*. Before any file is + reconciled or deleted, produce a committed audit — one row per file across all + 76 shadow copies — classifying every local-vs-skeleton divergence as **rot** + (local lags; take skeleton) or **local-unique** (content absent from the + skeleton that plausibly encodes codev-specific functionality). + + Requirements: + - The audit covers **content inside drifted files**, not just whole files that + have no skeleton counterpart. A local-unique paragraph inside an otherwise-rotted + file is exactly the loss this criterion exists to prevent, and D1's + reconciliation would destroy it first. + - Every **local-unique** finding is escalated to the architect with the diff + hunk and a short read on what functionality it appears to provide. + - **Nothing classified local-unique is overwritten or deleted until the + architect rules on it.** Escalation blocks that file only; the rest proceed. + - Where classification is genuinely ambiguous, default to **local-unique** and + escalate. A needless question is cheap; a silently deleted codev-specific + behaviour is not. + + **Permitted terminal states** *(added iteration 2, per Codex)*. Every shadow + copy must end in exactly one of these four states. **"Pending escalation" is + explicitly NOT terminal** — the feature is not complete while any item sits + there. *(Count correction, Phase 2: the true shadow-copy count is **77**, not + 76 — mechanical enumeration includes `consult-types/integration-review.md`, + which the hand count missed. Every "76" in this spec reads as 77; the audit + artifact is authoritative.)* + + | # | Terminal state | Applies to | Result | + |---|---|---|---| + | **TS1** | Reconciled to skeleton, then deleted | `rot` | Skeleton is sole owner | + | **TS2** | Promoted — unique content moved *into* `codev-skeleton/`, local copy deleted | `local-unique` the architect wants kept **and** shared with adopters | Skeleton is sole owner; functionality preserved for everyone | + | **TS3** | Retained as a deliberate, documented local override | `local-unique` the architect wants kept **codev-only** | Stays in `codev/`, recorded in the ownership map *and* the M2 allowlist with justification | + | **TS4** | Dropped | `local-unique` the architect judges obsolete | Deleted, with the ruling recorded | + + **Completion rule**: the spec is complete when every shadow copy is in TS1–TS4 + and **zero escalations remain open**. TS2 is the preferred outcome for genuine + codev-specific functionality, since TS3 knowingly re-creates a (single, + documented, allowlisted) shadow copy and should be the exception. + + **Escape hatch — no indefinite block.** If an escalation cannot be resolved + (architect unavailable, decision genuinely deferred), it converts to **TS3** + and a follow-up issue is filed referencing the audit row. This keeps the + conservative outcome — nothing is lost — while guaranteeing the project always + reaches a defined end state rather than dangling on an unanswered question. + +### SHOULD + +- **S1** — Non-scar duplicated instruction classes reduced to their single owner + plus references. + +### Non-functional + +- **N1** — Reduction in always-on words per builder. **Target ≥ 20%** against + the measured baseline, without deleting any scar rule. A target for the plan to + interrogate, **not a gate**; the achieved figure is reported either way. + *Baseline note (Phase 1)*: the reproducible figure is **21,856** — derived + from resolved artifacts (CLAUDE.md + spawn-prompt proxy + 10× phase-task + proxy). The earlier ≈24,600 estimate additionally counted per-project + variable content (issue body, task-JSON boilerplate), which no trim can + affect; N1 is evaluated against the reproducible 21,856. + *Note*: M8 removes ~47k words from the repo but little from *always-on* + context, so N1 must come from **S1 deduplication plus D3's scar-wording + compression** — the latter now contributes directly, since collapsing banner + blocks to one-sentence rules shortens always-on text on every surface the + rules appear on, without reducing their reach. +- **N2** — No behavioural regression; full existing suite passes. +- **N3** — CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md remain byte-identical. +- **N4** — Spec 987 HOT-tier caps respected. + +### Non-goals + +- Not rewriting protocol semantics — only relocating and deduplicating text. +- Not touching COLD `arch.md` / `lessons-learned.md` content. +- Not changing the resolver algorithm. +- Not making `protocol-drift-audit` auto-remediate; adjudication stays human. +- **Not running a controlled A/B eval** of old vs new prompts (M12c). Considered + and deferred — it needs a task corpus and grading harness that do not exist. + Filed as **issue #1277** (Phase 8). The consequence is that M12 can support + *"no evidence of harm,"* not *"proved beneficial."* +- **Not implementing multi-model fleet tiering** (the issue's proposed direction + #2). Cut by decision **D4** and deferred — filed as **issue #1276** + (Phase 8) now that the ownership map exists, the prerequisite that makes + tiering specifiable. + +--- + +## Constraints + +Issue #1252 contains no `Baked Decisions` section. Constraints derive from the +issue body and repository invariants. + +### From the issue + +- **C1** — Single-owner rule: exactly one owning surface per instruction. +- **C2** — Inventory and ownership map precede any restructuring. +- **C3** — **Scar rules are exempt.** They stay verbatim and always-on wherever + they apply.

This is the issue's proposed direction #2, deliberately + descoped — not dropped by oversight. See **Non-goals**. + +### From repository invariants + +- **C5** — CLAUDE.md and AGENTS.md MUST stay byte-identical. +- **C6** — Framework changes mirrored in both `codev/` and `codev-skeleton/`. + *If M8 proceeds, this invariant is retired for `protocols/` and `roles/` and + `arch-critical.md` must be updated to say so.* +- **C7** — Framework files are delivered via spawn prompt and porch JSON, never + fetched by literal `codev/...` path (`framework-ref-audit`). +- **C8** — HOT-tier files capped (≤10 facts, ≤12 map topics, ≤35 lines). +- **C9** — Never `git add -A` / `.` / `--all`. + +### Scar rules — ratified list (D3; eight rules) + +Ratified by the architect 2026-07-27. Canonical wordings must be **compressed** +to one sentence (two at most) per **D3**; the drafts below are indicative, and +the plan registers the final compressed text in M5's registry. + +1. Never `git add -A` / `.` / `--all` — stage files explicitly. +2. Never destroy builder worktrees (`git worktree remove`, `git branch -D`, + `afx cleanup` + respawn); use `--resume`, and ask when in doubt. +3. Never `git reset --hard` / `git checkout -- .` / `git clean -fd` / + `git stash` without explicit permission. +4. Never auto-approve porch gates; only humans approve. +5. Never hand-edit `status.yaml`. +6. Run `afx` only from the main workspace root. +7. **Never kill shellper processes without the verified-orphan procedure.** +8. **Never restart Tower without explicit human permission.** + +Rules 7–8 were added by D3; 1–6 carried over from the builder's proposed list. + +The 9 differing wordings of the `git add -A` rule are a **consistency** problem, +not a duplication problem. The fix is to converge on one compressed canonical +wording repeated verbatim — **not** to reduce the number of copies. + +--- + +## Architect Decisions + +Decisions relayed by the architect. These are **fixed** and are not to be +relitigated in the spec, plan, or review — treated with the same standing as a +`Baked Decisions` section. Remaining open items stay in **Open Questions**. + +### D1 — Drift reconciliation direction *(answers Q2; 2026-07-27)* + +**The skeleton is authoritative for all 17 drifted files.** Reconciliation is +file-by-file, not a bulk overwrite: + +1. Enumerate all 17 (the 16 protocol files named in the Problem Statement, plus + `codev/roles/architect.md`). +2. For each, diff local against skeleton and classify the divergence as + *missing content* (local lags the skeleton) or *possible deliberate local + content* (local adds or alters something the skeleton lacks). +3. *Missing content* → take the skeleton version. +4. *Possible deliberate local content* → **escalate to the architect; do not + silently overwrite.** Reconciliation of those files waits for a ruling. + +This governs **M3**. It does not decide Q1: reconciling the files and deleting +the tree are separate acts, and D1 applies whether or not deletion follows. + +### D2 — Shadow-tree deletion approved, with a local-unique safeguard *(answers Q1; 2026-07-27)* + +**Yes — delete the shadow copies.** M8, M9, and M10 are hereby **active and +required**, no longer conditional. + +One strengthening condition, in the architect's words: + +> *"mostly delete, but if there are any unique things can we discuss them to +> make sure we're not losing functionality specific to codev."* + +This adds **M11** (below). The safeguard is broader than the local-only file +list already in A2: it covers **local-unique content anywhere** in +`codev/protocols/` or `codev/roles/` — including content that lives *inside an +otherwise-drifted file*, which D1's reconciliation would otherwise overwrite +before deletion ever runs. + +The operative distinction is **local-unique functionality vs. rot**: + +| Classification | Meaning | Action | +|---|---|---| +| **Rot** | Local lags the skeleton; the difference is stale or missing content | Take the skeleton (D1) | +| **Local-unique** | Content present locally, absent from the skeleton, that plausibly encodes codev-specific functionality | **Escalate for human discussion before it is lost** | + +Escalation is **blocking for that file only** — reconciliation and deletion of +the remaining files proceed. Nothing classified local-unique is overwritten or +deleted until the architect rules on it. + +### D3 — Scar-rule registry ratified: eight rules, compressed *(answers Q3; 2026-07-27)* + +**All eight ratified** — the spec's original six plus two additions: + +7. Never kill shellper processes without the verified-orphan procedure. +8. Never restart Tower without explicit human permission. + +**Amendment: canonical wordings must be materially compressed** — one compact +sentence, two at most, per rule. Not today's multi-line banner blocks (e.g. +CLAUDE.md's `### 🚨 ABSOLUTE PROHIBITION: NEVER USE git add -A 🚨` block). + +Verbatim-replication (C3) and delete/reword CI protection (M5, T6) apply to the +**compressed canonical form**. Once a compressed wording is registered, it is +the wording — replicated byte-identically everywhere the rule appears, and +protected against silent deletion or rewording. + +Note the direction of travel: compression **reduces** always-on words while the +rules stay everywhere they were. Scar rules remain exempt from the single-owner +rule — this shortens them, it does not deduplicate them. + +### D5 — Behavioral-impact measurement required *(2026-07-27)* + +The issue's architect-guidance made impact measurement mandatory — *"a trim +proposal without a way to evaluate it is not accepted."* The spec as approved +satisfied this only with **M6 word counts and structural tests**, which measure +the proxy rather than the effect. That is a real gap and the spec did not close +it. + +Directive: add a required criterion covering **(a)** a baseline captured before +any prompt-content change, **(b)** a defined verify phase re-running the same +measurement post-merge with a no-regression judgment and rollback trigger, and +**(c)** a documented decision that a controlled A/B eval was considered and +deferred, with a follow-up pointer. + +Implemented as **M12** with **Appendix D**. Note that M3's drift repair itself +changes served prompts: the baseline is the **pre-project state**, and the verify +comparison evaluates the project's **total effect**. + +### D4 — Model-capability tiering cut *(answers Q4; 2026-07-27)* + +**Cut entirely from this spec.** Removed: S2, constraint C4, Appendix C, and the +`tier` field from the Appendix A schema. Tiering becomes its own future issue, +to be filed once the ownership map exists. Recorded in **Non-goals**. + +This descopes the issue's proposed direction #2. It is a deliberate architect +decision, not an oversight, and is flagged as such wherever C4 appeared. + +--- + +## Assumptions + +- **A1** *(corrected in iteration 2)* — The shadow tree is a **historical + artifact** of scaffolding that no longer runs, not a deliberate self-host + customization. *Evidence*: `copyProtocols`/`copyRoles` are uncalled; both trees + share a last-touch commit; 16 of 17 divergences are content *missing* relative + to the skeleton rather than local additions. Q1 still asks the architect to + confirm, but the required criteria no longer depend on the answer. +- **A2** — `codev/protocols/release/` and + `codev/protocols/maintain/templates/{audit-report.md,lessons-learned.md}` are + genuine local-only files and must survive. +- **A3** — Always-on words (≈ 24,600) is the figure worth reducing; on-demand + content is already correctly tiered. + +--- + +## Solution Approaches + +### Approach B — Promote the existing drift audit to a CI gate *(required)* + +Wire `auditProtocolDrift()` into a build-failing test with an adjudication +allowlist, and reconcile the 17 drifted files so the allowlist starts empty. + +- **Pros**: small — the detector already exists and is already wired into + `codev doctor`; closes the drift class immediately; independent of Q1. +- **Cons**: leaves 45,183 duplicated words and the double-edit burden; fixes + drift but not token cost or ambiguity. +- **Complexity**: low. **Risk**: low. + +### Approach A — Delete the shadow tree *(required; approved by D2)* + +Remove the shadow copies, preserving local-only entries, and delete the vestigial +scaffold functions. + +- **Pros**: eliminates 45,183 duplicate words and the whole drift class + structurally; makes Codev dogfood exactly what it ships; retires the + mirror-both-trees invariant that itself causes drift. +- **Cons**: highest blast radius; irreversible without git history; forfeits + self-host customization of protocols. +- **Complexity**: high. **Risk**: moderate — **lower than iteration 1 judged**. + Appendix B finds production consumers route through the resolver, and B's + parity gate proves equivalence before deletion. + +### Approach C — Ownership map + reference-based deduplication *(required)* + +Author the map, then reduce non-owning restatements to references, leaving scar +rules verbatim. + +- **Pros**: directly implements the issue's stated direction; addresses all + three costs; the map is durable documentation and drives M4's test. +- **Cons**: on its own does nothing about the shadow tree — deduplicating + *within* a doubled tree is wasted effort. +- **Complexity**: medium. **Risk**: medium (over-stripping a rule an agent + needed in place) — mitigated by M5, T6, and T13. + +### Sequencing: B → A → C *(all three now in scope per D2)* + +Order matters: + +1. **B first** — cheap, stops the bleeding, and is the safety net that makes + deletion auditable.

Asserting determinism over B1–**B5** (as the +first draft of T14 did) was internally contradictory — caught by Codex at delta +review. B5 is reported as advisory context and drives no trigger. + +Also asserts: the SPIR sample resolves to the expected project count; B3 emits +matched excerpts alongside counts; and the script does **not** attempt +gate-rejection counts (Appendix D §2 — the data does not exist, and a +plausible-looking zero would be worse than an absent metric). + +### T13 — End-to-end, the real user path + +**Part (a), automated**: assemble the builder spawn prompt in-process and assert +it contains the verify-phase instructions and all eight scar rules in their +compressed canonical form.

What the repository actually stores + +| Source | Volume | Usable for baseline? | +|---|---:|---| +| `codev/projects/*/status.yaml` — `history[].reviews[].verdict` | 17 projects | **Yes** — the only structured CMAP record | +| `codev/reviews/*.md` | 211 | **Yes** — prose; keyword-mined | +| `codev/state/*_thread.md` | 139 | **Yes** — prose; keyword-mined | +| Gate rejection counts | — | **No** — see §2 | +| `consult` token/cost stats | 30-day local DB | **Prospective only** — see §2 | + +`codev/projects/*/*.txt` (the raw consult logs) are **gitignored** +(`.gitignore:59`), so no historical consult output survives in the repo. This is +the single biggest constraint on the baseline. + +### 2. Candidate metrics that had to be dropped or re-scoped + +- **Gate rejection / re-request counts — NOT MINABLE.** Across all 201 projects, + gate `status` only ever takes the values `approved`, `complete`, `in_progress`, + `pending`. There is no `rejected` state, and `requested_at` is a single scalar + that a re-request overwrites rather than appends to. A rejected-then-approved + gate is indistinguishable from a first-time approval. *Recording this so the + metric is not silently dropped: it was requested, and it cannot be delivered + from committed history.* (A porch change to append gate events would make this + minable in future — noted as a possible follow-up, out of scope here.) +- **Tokens per phase — PROSPECTIVE ONLY.** `consult stats` reports invocations, + duration, and cost, but over a rolling 30-day window from a machine-local DB. + There is no Feb–Jun history to form a retrospective baseline. It is therefore + captured as a **forward baseline snapshot** at Phase 1 and compared in verify — + a weaker design than the others, and labelled as such. + +### 3. The metric set and sample + +**Sample for retrospective metrics (B1–B2): the 17 SPIR projects with non-empty +`history`**, spanning 2026-02 → 2026-06. Small, and stated as such. `history` is +populated for SPIR (per-plan-phase review loops) and empty for `pir`/`bugfix`/ +`air`, which is why the sample is protocol-skewed rather than 201-wide. + +| ID | Metric | Definition | Source | Sample | Baseline (measured 2026-07-27) | +|---|---|---|---|---|---| +| **B1** | CMAP `REQUEST_CHANGES` rate | share of all verdicts that are `REQUEST_CHANGES` | `history[].reviews[].verdict` | 17 SPIR | **51.9%** (n=160 verdicts; APPROVE 41.2%, COMMENT 6.9%) | +| **B2** | Review rounds per plan phase | `max(iteration)` per `plan_phase` | `history[].iteration` | 17 SPIR | mean **1.12**, median 1, max 2 (n=49 phases) | +| **B3** | Scar-violation incidents | keyword-mined mentions of the eight D3 rules being violated | 211 reviews + 139 threads | all | to be captured in Phase 1 | +| **B4** | Review rounds per project | sum of B2 across a project's phases | `status.yaml` | 18 with history | mean **3.06**, median 3 | +| **B5** | Consult cost/duration | forward snapshot only (§2) | `consult stats` | prospective | **non-deterministic — advisory only** | + +**B2 was redefined after the delta review.** It originally read "rounds to +unanimous approve," which is **not derivable**: across the 17-project baseline, +**0 of 48 terminal plan phases end with 3× `APPROVE`**. The commonest terminal +state is 2 × APPROVE + 1 × REQUEST_CHANGES (20/48), and 7/48 advance with three +REQUEST_CHANGES. Porch advances a phase after the builder rebuts, not on +consensus, so a "rounds to unanimity" counter would never resolve. Caught by +Codex and confirmed independently before the redefinition. + +**Consequences for how much weight each metric carries:** + +- **B1 is the load-bearing metric.** It has a real baseline (51.9%) and genuine + variance, so a relative rise is meaningful. The soft rollback trigger keys off + it. +- **B2 and B4 are advisory, not triggers.** B2's observed range is 1–2 with mean + 1.12 — almost no variance, so it cannot detect a subtle regression. Recording + this rather than implying more sensitivity than the data supports. +- **B3 is the metric that matters most** and is the fuzziest — it is the only one + that would catch a compressed scar rule losing its force, which is the specific + harm compression risks. Fuzzy by construction: prose keyword mining, with false + positives from documentation *about* a rule rather than a violation of it. The + script must report **matched excerpts, not just counts**, and a human + adjudicates before the hard trigger fires. +- **B5 is advisory and non-deterministic** — see §2. It is excluded from T14's + determinism assertion and from every rollback trigger. + +### 4. No-regression judgment and rollback trigger + +Rollback targets **the trims, never the repairs**. Phases 1–4 (drift gate, audit, +reconcile, shadow removal) *restore* correct content; reverting them would +reintroduce the drift bug this project exists to fix. Only Phases 5 and 7 removed +text, so only they are rollback candidates. + +| Trigger | Threshold | Action | +|---|---|---| +| **Hard — scar violation** | **Any single** B3 incident in the verify window attributable to a missing or weakened rule | Revert the **Phase 5** compression commit (and Phase 7 if the rule was a dedup target). n=1 suffices; scar rules exist because the incident already happened once. | +| **Soft — review friction** | B1 `REQUEST_CHANGES` rate rises **> 25% relative** to the measured 51.9% baseline — i.e. **above ~64.9%** — sustained across the N sample | Revert **Phase 7** dedup commits; keep Phases 1–6. Re-measure before any further trimming. | +| **Advisory** | B2/B4/B5 movement without B1/B3 movement | No revert. Record and investigate — B2's observed range (1–2) is too narrow to carry a trigger, and B5 is non-deterministic. | +| **Inconclusive** | Fewer than N=10 projects, or < 3 SPIR, complete in the window | **Do not declare success.** Extend the window or record the verify as inconclusive. Absence of data is not a no-regression result. | + +The last row matters: with n=17 baseline and N=10 verify, this design detects a +large regression, not a subtle one. The honest claim available at the end is +**"no evidence of behavioural harm at this sample size"** — not "the trims were +beneficial." Anything stronger requires the deferred A/B. + +--- + +## Appendix C — *(removed)* + +Model-capability tiering was cut from this spec by decision **D4** and deferred +to its own issue.

The architect directed (2026-07-27) that a second 3-way review be run +against the revised spec before the gate decision, so that the restructured +success criteria (M1–M7 required / M8–M10 conditional) and the three new +appendices get reviewer re-validation rather than shipping reviewer-informed +but unvalidated. + +Held until the architect's complete decision set landed (2026-07-27), so that a +**single** review runs against the fully-amended spec rather than one that +changes underneath the reviewers. + +Amendment state at review time: **D1–D4 all recorded.** The revised spec differs +from iteration 1 in five material ways, and reviewers were asked to focus there: + +1. Success criteria restructured — M1–M7 required and question-independent. +2. M8–M10 promoted from conditional to required (**D2**), plus new **M11** + local-unique content audit with fixed **M11 → M3 → M8** sequencing. +3.

The measurement +says the *drift* problem is bigger and more urgent than the token problem, and +that the shadow tree is where both concentrate. I am specifying accordingly: +ownership map + shadow-tree elimination first, compression second. Deduplication +of scar rules stays off the table per the issue. + +Existing enforcement machinery to build on (not reinvent): `governance-sweep`, +`hot-tier`, `skeleton`, `protocol-prompt-audit`, `framework-ref-audit`, +`skill-parity` test suites. + +## Specify iter-1 — 3-way consultation + +Gemini APPROVE / Codex REQUEST_CHANGES / Claude COMMENT. Codex and Claude each +found real problems. I accepted all nine issues; two of them corrected factual +errors of mine. + +### The one that mattered most (Claude) + +I claimed "no test asserts that codev/protocols/ matches +codev-skeleton/protocols/." **That was wrong.** +`packages/codev/src/lib/protocol-drift-audit.ts` (#1210) already exists — +`auditProtocolDrift()`, `FRAMEWORK_DRIFT_DIRS = ['protocols','consult-types', +'roles']`, classifying `identical | differs` — and `codev doctor` already calls +it at `doctor.ts:947`. + +So drift has been *detected and reported all along*. Our 17 drifted files were +visible to `codev doctor` and ignored. The gap is not detection; it is that +nothing **fails the build**. That narrows M2 enormously: wire the existing +audit into a CI gate, don't write a detector. + +### Count corrections (Claude) + +My "19 drifted" conflated drifted files with local-only ones. Actual: **17** +(16 protocols + 1 roles). Separately there are **3 local-only** entries — +`release/` and two `maintain/templates/` files — which must survive deletion. +Added test T8 for that. Clarified 63 `.md` / 73 `md+json` / 76 including roles. + +### Structural fixes (Codex) + +Codex was right that the spec's end state depended on unanswered critical +questions, and that M2 permitted two incompatible outcomes. Restructured: +M1–M7 are required and Q1-independent; M8–M10 (deletion) are conditional on +architect approval. Added Appendix A (ownership-map schema + what an +"instruction class" is), Appendix B (compatibility audit), Appendix C (tiering +selector/fallback/scope). + +### What I found while verifying Codex's feasibility concern + +Codex claimed many literal `codev/protocols/` references exist. True — 26 +non-test, 95 in tests. But checking them changed the picture twice: + +1. **`scaffold.ts` exports `copyProtocols`/`copyRoles`** which copy the skeleton + into `codev/`. I briefly thought this meant every adopter has a shadow tree. + Then I grepped for callers: **neither is called by init, adopt, or update.** + They are dead code. So adopters have NO shadow tree — ours is a historical + artifact from when scaffolding did copy. That *strengthens* the deletion + case (deleting makes us match adopters) and adds M9: remove the dead + functions before someone rewires them. +2. **Production consumers route through the resolver** (`consult/index.ts:175` + → `readCodevFile`; `porch/protocol.ts` → `resolveCodevFile`). The rest are + comments and error strings. No direct-read consumer found — deletion is + lower-risk than iter-1 judged. + +A1 rewritten accordingly: iter-1 asserted "unintentional fork" without +establishing why; now it is evidence-backed. + +### Still architect-owned + +Q1 (may the shadow trees be deleted) and Q3 (is the scar list complete) are not +mine to answer. The spec no longer *depends* on Q1 — a "no" simply drops +M8–M10 and still ships B + C. + +## Held at spec-approval gate — awaiting full architect decision set + +Architect directed an iter-2 review, then countermanded ~40s later: amend the +spec with the *complete* decision set first, then run a **single** iter-2 +review against the fully-amended spec. Sensible — reviewing a spec that shifts +underneath the reviewers wastes a round. + +State when the countermand landed: I had made the Q2 amendment but had **not** +launched any consult. Nothing to abort. + +**D1 recorded (answers Q2)**: skeleton is authoritative for all 17 drifted +files, reconciled file-by-file — classify each divergence as *missing content* +(take skeleton) or *possible deliberate local content* (**escalate, never +silently overwrite**). Governs M3. Explicitly does NOT decide Q1: reconciling +the files and deleting the tree are separate acts, and D1 holds either way. + +**Frozen pending answers**: Q1 (shadow-tree deletion → M8–M10) and Q3 (scar +registry contents → M5) and Q4 (tiering selector). Added a "Pending — do not +act" clause under Architect Decisions so the constraint is legible to anyone +reading the spec, not just to me. + +Making no further spec edits until the full decision set arrives. + +## Specify iter-2 — decisions D1–D4 absorbed, second 3-way review + +Architect relayed the full decision set: D1 skeleton-authoritative, D2 delete +approved (+ local-unique safeguard), D3 eight scar rules compressed, D4 tiering +cut. Amended spec (442cc08a), then ran iter-2. + +**Verdicts: Gemini APPROVE / Codex REQUEST_CHANGES / Claude APPROVE.** +6 points, all accepted. Iter-1 drew 9 issues; iter-2 drew 6, only 2 blocking — +and both were "your enforcement has a hole," not "your analysis is wrong." +Codex and Claude each independently re-verified the empirical basis; it held. + +### The hole worth remembering (Codex CX-1) + +M4/T7 iterate over the ownership map's entries and check each has one owner. +**A map listing 3 of 40 instruction classes passes cleanly.** Tests green, +artifact looks rigorous, single-owner rule covers a fraction of the surface, +nothing signals the gap. + +I built the exact disease this spec attacks — enforcement that measures only +what you already told it about — into the fix for it. Fixed with a declared +inventory boundary + mechanical candidate extraction + mandatory +mapped/scar/out-of-scope disposition + T12 failing on anything undispositioned. + +Added unprompted: T12 must be validated against a *seeded* normative line. A +completeness test over an empty candidate set passes vacuously and looks +identical to a healthy one. Having just been caught by one vacuous-pass hole, +leaving another in would be careless. + +### CX-2 — escalation is a transition, not a destination + +M11 said "escalate to the architect" and stopped. No terminal state, so the +criterion couldn't be judged complete or incomplete. Added TS1–TS4, made +"pending escalation" explicitly non-terminal, completion = all 76 in TS1–TS4 +with zero open escalations. + +Judgement call flagged to the architect: unresolved escalation converts to TS3 +(keep local, documented, allowlisted) + follow-up issue, rather than +hard-blocking. Trades a little residual shadow tree for a guarantee the project +can't stall on an unanswered question. Also marked TS2 (promote into skeleton) +as *preferred* over TS3 — TS3 knowingly re-creates a shadow copy, and if it +became the default the spec would quietly rebuild what it removed. + +### Smaller but real (Claude CL-2) + +Split T13 into automated CI assembly-check (a) + one manual real spawn (b). +Keeping (b) matters: (a) can pass while the live spawn path reads different +files — which is *exactly* how this project's own prompt lost its Verify Phase +section. An ambiguous "inspect the prompt" would have collapsed into (a) alone. + +Gemini independently endorsed the M11 → M3 → M8 sequencing and the M5-before-C +scar chain — both builder-originated, so worth recording that they survived +outside review. + +No open questions remain. Back to the spec-approval gate. + +## Plan phase — 8 phases drafted + +Spec approved (human approval relayed via architect; I ran `porch approve` per +the workspace convention that the builder executes it, architect never does). + +**One ordering decision beyond what the spec fixed.** The spec pins +`M11 → M3 → M8` and "M5 green before Approach C," but says nothing about where +scar compression sits relative to deletion. Compressing eight rules across ~36 +files when half get deleted two phases later is wasted work — and worse, risks +reconciling a compression edit against a skeleton that never got it. So +**Phase 5 (scar compression) runs AFTER Phase 4 (deletion)**, still well before +Phase 7 (dedup). Satisfies the real constraint; avoids the trap. + +Phases: 1 drift gate + baseline · 2 local-unique audit · 3 reconcile · +4 compat audit + removal · 5 scar registry · 6 ownership map · 7 dedup + +measure · 8 governance sync + E2E. + +Four of eight phases land before a single duplicated word is removed. That's +deliberate — the spec's finding is that drift, not token count, is urgent, and +D2 requires nothing codev-specific be lost. + +Notes to self for implementation: +- Phase 1's allowlist starts POPULATED with the 17 drifts (justified "pending + Phase 3"). A gate that fails on commit is a gate someone disables. +- Phase 5's real risk is meaning loss, not brevity. Each compressed wording must + retain prohibition + scope + any escape hatch (rule 2's "use --resume, and ask + when in doubt"). Dropping the escape hatch turns guidance into a dead end. +- Phase 7: report the N1 figure honestly even if under 20%. Likely shortfall is + structural — most always-on words are CLAUDE.md prose that's already + single-owned, not duplicated rules. Do NOT strip content to hit a number. +- Phase 8 must file the D4 tiering follow-up issue. + +## Plan iter-1 — 3-way review + +**Gemini APPROVE / Codex REQUEST_CHANGES / Claude APPROVE.** 6 points, all +accepted. None changed phase structure, ordering, or scope — all six were +"specify this existing phase more precisely." + +### Codex CX-1: I implemented half of my own criterion + +M10 says resolver equivalence AND byte-identical assembled prompt. Phase 4 +planned only the former — and the gap was *disguised*, because Phase 8's T13 +looks like it covers assembled prompts. A reader would reasonably conclude M10 +was satisfied across two phases when neither asserted byte-identity. + +Why it matters: per-file resolution can be correct while assembly still differs +(template ordering, {{project_id}} interpolation, a fragment from a different +tier). Phase 4's entire claim is "deletion is a no-op for what agents receive" — +only byte-identity shows that. Fixed: snapshot each protocol's prompt +pre-deletion, assert byte-identical after. + +Also wrote down that 4d(ii) and T13 have *opposite* expectations — 4d(ii) says +nothing changed; T13 says the right content is present after compression/dedup +deliberately changed things. Easy for a later reader to collapse them. + +### Codex CX-3: the drift disease, in miniature, in my own plan + +I wrote "remove copyProtocols/copyRoles plus their scaffold.test.ts cases." +But only copyRoles has tests — and **I had established that myself** during the +spec phase and written it in the iter-1 spec rebuttal. Verified once, +paraphrased from memory later, drifted in the restatement. + +That's exactly what this project is about. Worth remembering: my errors don't +cluster in analysis, they cluster in *restating things I already verified*. + +### Claude CL-1: better than "minor" + +T11 parses the Phase 2 audit doc, but I described the doc loosely. A builder +writing free-form prose would make T11 unimplementable — and the natural fix +under pressure is to weaken T11, which would quietly remove the guarantee that +nothing was deleted unaudited. That's the most important safeguard in the plan. +Now specified as a fixed 5-column table with enumerated values. + +### CX-2: phase boundary contradiction + +Phase 5 said "replace on every surface"; Phase 8 said "apply Phase 5's wordings +to CLAUDE.md/AGENTS.md." Two readings, one dangerous: Phase 5 skips the two +most-read surfaces and still claims M5 green — leaving a hole exactly where the +most-read scar rules live, right before Phase 7 starts stripping text. Phase 5 +now owns all scar edits; Phase 8 only parity-checks N3. + +Gemini again endorsed the Phase 5-after-Phase 4 placement (my discretionary +call) and the M11 → M3 → M8 ordering. + +## Amendment D5 — behavioural-impact measurement (M12) + +Architect surfaced a real gap I'd missed: the issue's guidance made impact +measurement mandatory ("a trim proposal without a way to evaluate it is not +accepted"), and my M6 word-counts + structural tests measure the PROXY, not the +effect. My safeguards were asymmetric — M5/T6 protect against a scar rule being +deleted or reworded; nothing detected "rule still present, compliance dropped." + +### Research first — two requested metrics turned out unminable + +Before proposing anything I checked what the repo actually stores. Worth +recording because the answer shaped the whole design: + +- `codev/projects/*/*.txt` (raw consult logs) are **GITIGNORED** (.gitignore:59). + No historical consult output survives. Biggest constraint. +- **Gate rejection counts: NOT MINABLE.** Across all 201 projects gate `status` + only ever takes approved|complete|in_progress|pending — there is no `rejected` + state, and `requested_at` is a scalar that a re-request overwrites. A + rejected-then-approved gate is indistinguishable from a clean one. Said so in + Appendix D §2 rather than quietly dropping it. +- **Tokens/phase: PROSPECTIVE ONLY.** `consult stats` is a rolling 30-day local + DB (3239 invocations, $1426). No Feb–Jun history → forward snapshot only. +- What IS minable: `history[].reviews[].verdict` — but only **17 SPIR projects** + have non-empty history (populated for SPIR's per-plan-phase loops, empty for + pir/bugfix/air). Plus 211 reviews + 139 threads for keyword mining. + +So: B1 REQUEST_CHANGES rate, B2 rounds-to-approve, B3 scar-violation mining, +B4 phase iterations, B5 forward cost snapshot. Sample n=17. N=10 verify window +with ≥3 SPIR (the SPIR minimum is the binding constraint, not the total). + +### Things I made sure to state rather than paper over + +- **The add/remove confound**: this project both restores content (M3) and + removes it (D3 compression, S1 dedup). A null result could be two real effects + cancelling. Mitigated by attributing rollback to specific commits, not the + project as a whole. +- **Rollback targets trims, never repairs.** Phases 1–4 restore correct content; + reverting them reintroduces the drift bug. Only Phases 5 and 7 are candidates. +- **Inconclusive is a real outcome.** <10 projects or <3 SPIR ⇒ do NOT declare + success. Absence of data is not a no-regression result. +- **B3 is the metric that matters most** and is the fuzziest — it's the one that + would catch a compressed scar rule losing force. Script must emit excerpts, + not just counts, so a human adjudicates. +- Honest ceiling: n=17 vs N=10 detects a LARGE regression. The strongest claim + available is "no evidence of harm at this sample size," not "proved + beneficial." That's why M12c defers a real A/B — and I flagged the deferral as + a genuine weakness, not a formality. + +Baseline must land in Phase 1 (step 1b) — Phases 3/5/7 all alter served content, +so any later capture has no clean "before." + +## D5 delta review — Gemini APPROVE / Codex REQUEST_CHANGES / Claude APPROVE + +Codex found two real defects. Gemini and Claude both approved. **The majority +was not the signal.** + +The split is instructive: Gemini and Claude verified the *data-availability* +claims (correct — all three confirmed gate-rejections unminable, consult +prospective-only, 17 SPIR sample). Codex went further and checked whether the +*metric definitions actually resolve against that data*. That's where both +defects were. + +### CX-1: B2 was unmeasurable and would have failed silently + +"Rounds to unanimous approve" — but **0 of 48 terminal plan phases end with +3× APPROVE**. I re-derived it rather than trusting the claim: + + 20 (APPROVE, APPROVE, REQUEST_CHANGES) + 12 (APPROVE, REQUEST_CHANGES, REQUEST_CHANGES) + 7 (REQUEST_CHANGES × 3) + +**Porch advances a phase on builder rebuttal, not consensus.** So B2 would never +resolve — and would have looked fine: script runs, emits a number, number is +meaningless. + +The lesson worth keeping: "the data exists" ≠ "the metric resolves." I verified +the former meticulously (all 3 reviewers confirmed Appendix D §1–2) and never +checked the latter for my own definition. + +Redefined B2 = max(iteration) per plan_phase. Then computed real baselines: +**B1 = 51.9% REQUEST_CHANGES** (n=160), B2 mean 1.12 (n=49), B4 mean 3.06. + +That surfaced something else: **B2's range is 1–2, mean 1.12 — nearly no +variance**, so it can't detect a subtle regression. Demoted B2/B4 to advisory, +named B1 load-bearing, made the soft threshold concrete (>25% on 51.9% = above +~64.9%). + +### CX-2: T14 contradicted itself + +T14 demanded "same commit ⇒ same B1–B5" while B5 comes from a rolling 30-day +machine-local DB. Both halves written by me in the same amendment. Scoped +determinism to B1–B4; B5 now explicitly advisory/non-deterministic, drives no +trigger. Kept rather than dropped — cost/duration is useful context for +interpreting a B1 move; the failure was pretending it was reproducible. + +### Also worth recording + +Gemini endorsed the n=1 hard trigger on B3, reasoning scar rules exist BECAUSE +the catastrophe already happened once — so one verified recurrence justifies +reverting compression. Good framing; a single-incident trigger looks aggressive +without it. + +Process note: my first 3 delta consults failed — `--prompt` and `--type` are +mutually exclusive. Should have checked the consult skill first. Re-ran in +general mode with a scoped brief file. No artifacts affected. + +## Phase 1 COMPLETE — drift gate + both baselines + +Plan approved (human, relayed). Phase 1 delivers M2, M6, M12a. + +**Drift gate** (`shadow-drift-gate.test.ts`): calls the existing +`auditProtocolDrift()` — did NOT reimplement detection. 4 tests + 1 skipped +(Phase-3 lifecycle guard, flips on in Phase 3). + +Allowlist seeded with exactly the 17 drifted files, each justified +`PENDING_RECONCILE → Phase 3 (D1)`. Two guards make it self-limiting: every +entry needs a non-empty note, and a *stale-entry* test fails if an allowlisted +file stops drifting. So the allowlist can't outlive its purpose. + +The BITES test matters most: seeds a real divergence in a temp workspace and +requires detection. A gate that has only seen a clean tree is indistinguishable +from a no-op — which is precisely how #1210 sat unread for months. + +**Word baseline**: ALWAYS_ON = **24,614** (CLAUDE.md 5,773 + spawn 4,891 + +1,395×10 phase tasks). Matches the spec's ~24,600 estimate. Deliberately +excludes AGENTS.md (byte-identical twin — one loads per session, not both) and +the hot-tier files (already inlined in CLAUDE.md's count). Double-counting +either would inflate the baseline and flatter the Phase 7 result. + +**Behavioural baseline** (M12a): B1 **51.88%** REQUEST_CHANGES (n=160 verdicts), +B2 mean 1.12 (n=49 phases), B4 mean 3.06 (n=18 projects). Reproduces the figures +published in spec Appendix D. + +B3: 45 candidate hits across 350 files — and inspection confirms they're mostly +false positives (discussions *about* auto-approve, not violations). Exactly why +the script emits excerpts, not counts. A bare "45 violations" would have been +actively misleading. + +### Deviation from plan: script location + +Plan said `scripts/measure-prompt-behavior.ts` at repo root. It needs `js-yaml`, +which a root script **cannot resolve** in this pnpm workspace (root node_modules +lacks it). Moved logic to `packages/codev/src/lib/prompt-behavior-metrics.ts` +beside `protocol-drift-audit.ts`/`framework-ref-audit.ts` — same module shape, +unit-testable, deps resolve — with a thin CLI at +`packages/codev/scripts/measure-prompt-behavior.ts`. Spec + plan updated to the +real paths. The bash surface script stays at root (no deps). + +### Test-suite investigation worth recording + +First full run: 49 files / 62 tests failing. Easy to write off as pre-existing — +but I verified instead. All were `@cluesmith/codev-core` import errors: the +workspace wasn't built. Building core fixed 48 files. The last 8 were +"integration with real shellper" tests needing `dist/terminal/shellper-main.js`; +`npx tsc` produced it and all 90 passed. + +**Full suite now 193 files / 3772 tests green, 0 failures.** No flaky tests to +skip. Lesson reinforced: "pre-existing failure" is a claim requiring evidence, +not a default assumption — a fresh worktree just isn't built. + +## Phase 1 iter-1 review — Gemini/Claude APPROVE, Codex REQUEST_CHANGES ×2, both fixed + +Codex again the one checking whether the numbers actually mean anything: + +1. **Hardcoded spawn/phase word counts** (4891/1395) would have silently + corrupted the Phase 7 N1 delta — reruns would report pre-trim numbers for + the two largest components. Now derived from resolved artifacts; + sensitivity-verified (shrink protocol.md → ALWAYS_ON drops 21,856→18,048). + Reproducible baseline is **21,856** (old 24,614 counted per-project variable + content that no trim can touch). Spec N1 note updated. +2. **B5 never actually captured** — plan said B1–B5, I wrote "capture + separately" and didn't. Snapshot now in the baseline artifact, capture-dated, + marked non-deterministic, drives no trigger. + +Word baseline output now committed too (1252-word-baseline.md). + +## Phase 2 prep findings (read-only, ahead of the audit) + +Diffed all 17 drifted files against the installed skeleton. Early +classifications for the audit: + +- **spir/protocol.md's 85 "local additions" are ROT**, not local-unique: the + old "Porch Orchestration" section uses obsolete underscore gate IDs + (`spec_approval`; porch uses `spec-approval`) and skeleton restructured to + the build-verify model. Local kept what skeleton deleted. +- **roles/architect.md area-label section is ROT with a twist**: skeleton + GENERALIZED it (`/` placeholders for adopters); the codev-specific + `area/` version's content is already owned by CLAUDE.md. Skeleton wins, + nothing lost. +- **Genuine escalation candidates**: + - TICK "Amendments" sections in spir+aspir spec/plan templates — local-only; + no tick protocol dir exists anywhere, but porch's phase prompts still + reference TICK amendments. Ambiguous → escalate. + - `max_iterations: 8` (local) vs `3` (skeleton) in spir+aspir protocol.json — + a real behavioral difference in CMAP loop bounds. Ambiguous → escalate. + +## Iter-2 hiccup worth remembering: the baseline measured itself + +Porch's checks failed on iter-2: the reproduction test expected 160 verdicts, +got 163. Cause: **this project's own iter-1 review verdicts landed in its +status.yaml — the corpus is live and the measuring project was in it.** Same +for B3: my own thread file (which discusses scar rules constantly) was in the +prose scan and had already contributed a hit to the committed baseline. + +Fix: self-exclusion by default (SELF_PROJECT_DIR, SELF_FILE_PREFIXES). +Baseline = pre-project state, so the measuring project's artifacts are out of +scope by definition. Baseline artifact regenerated clean: 160 verdicts, 349 +files, 44 hits. New test pins the exclusion. + +Observer effect in the smallest possible lab. The verify phase needs to +remember this too: when comparing, 1252's own artifacts stay excluded. + +## Phase 1 iter-2: unanimous APPROVE. Phase 2 (M11 audit) executed. + +Audit committed: codev/resources/1252-shadow-tree-audit.md — **77 rows** (spec +said 76; mechanical enumeration caught consult-types/integration-review.md, +which my hand count missed). 60 identical→TS1, 13 drifted-rot→TS1, 4 +local-unique→pending, escalated to architect: + +1. **max_iterations 8 vs 3** (spir+aspir json) — CMAP loop bound, no config + override exists for it. TS1/TS2/TS3 options laid out. +2. **cwd: packages/codev** (air+bugfix json) — real monorepo functionality; + recommended migrating to .codev/config.json porch.checks (Spec #550 + sanctioned mechanism) then TS1. Noted spir/aspir only pass today because + the repo root happens to have build/test scripts. + +Key evidence trail in the audit: TICK retired (all local TICK refs = rot, +though skeleton's own porch prompts still emit TICK-amendment language — +flagged for Phase 8); obsolete underscore gate IDs prove spir/protocol.md's +"additions" are pre-restructure leftovers; architect.md's area/ recipes are +owned by CLAUDE.md so the skeleton's generalized version loses nothing. + +T11 parses the audit table (6-column contract, enumerated values): 5 tests +green, completion guard (zero pending) phase-gated like the drift gate's. +Also armed: a guard that fails if any file vanishes while pending/TS3. + +## Phase 2 iter-1: Gemini/Claude APPROVE, Codex REQUEST_CHANGES — accepted, remedy differed + +Codex caught my plan contradicting itself: Phase-2 criteria said "zero rows +pending" while the spec's own sequencing designs for open escalations through +Phase 3 (M3 "skips anything M11 escalated") with the real deadline at Phase 4 +(M8 "gated on M11 ... escalations ruled on"). + +The important part: satisfying the criterion AS WRITTEN would have meant +invoking the TS3 escape hatch on all 4 escalations within the hour of sending +them — before the architect could realistically rule. The escape hatch is for +escalations that CANNOT be resolved, not for skipping the wait. A phase +criterion must never strong-arm a human gate. + +Fix: plan criteria amended (deadline = Phase 4); T11 gains an AUTOMATIC guard — +the moment any audited file is deleted, zero pending rows may remain. Deletion +arms the assertion; no human has to remember a flag. That answers Codex's +deeper point (manual skip-flag = phase passes while violating itself) more +durably than resolving the escalations prematurely would have. + +Also: spec count corrected in place (77 shadow copies; hand count missed +consult-types/integration-review.md) and Claude's cosmetic header arithmetic +fixed (73 protocol files, not 74). + +## Phase 3 — 13 rot files reconciled (M3) + +Skeleton copied over the 13 rot files per D1. The headline drift is repaired: +codev/protocols/spir/builder-prompt.md now carries Multi-PR Mechanics, Verify +Phase, and "Entering verify phase." — the next SPIR builder spawned in this +repo gets its verify instructions. + +Remaining divergence: exactly the 4 escalated json files. Allowlist shrunk +17 → 4, all re-tagged ESCALATED with adjudication citations. PHASE_3_COMPLETE +flipped, so the no-PENDING_RECONCILE guard is now live. Audit rows for the 13 +updated to `identical` with "RECONCILED Phase 3 (was: ...)" notes preserving +the original evidence. + +Still waiting on architect rulings for the 4 (max_iterations, cwd). Phase 4 +cannot start until they resolve — enforced by T11's automatic guard, not by my +memory. + +## Phase 3 addendum: reconciliation broke Spec 746's frozen baselines — instructive + +Porch checks caught baked-decisions.test.ts failing: it froze the THEN-DRIFTED +codev builder-prompts as "pure-addition baselines" (Spec 746), so my +reconciliation's line change (Ready for cleanup. → Entering verify phase.) +violated the pure-addition invariant. First fix attempt (baseline := current) +broke the pollution check — the baseline's true meaning is "file minus 746's +insertion". Rebuilt both baselines as current-minus-Baked-Decisions-block; +all 193 file tests + full suite (3780) green. + +Two durable notes: +1. **M7 catch**: baked-decisions.test.ts reads codev/protocols/* by literal + path — a test-tier consumer that Phase 4's deletion WILL break (ENOENT). + Added to the Phase 4 compat-audit worklist: repoint its codev/ entries at + the skeleton (which after deletion is the single source). +2. Frozen-file baselines are drift bombs: any legitimate later edit fails the + check for the wrong reason. The 746 test's real claim ("the baked section + is a pure insertion") survives only if the baseline is DERIVED + (current minus section), not frozen. + +## Phase 4 — shadow tree DELETED (77 files), M8–M10 complete + +Rulings landed: E1 = TS1 (skeleton's max_iterations 3 — the B2 baseline +evidence decided it), E2 = migrate cwd to .codev/config.json porch.checks for +all four protocols, then TS1. + +E2 carried a verification requirement (config is untracked — does it reach +every porch-check context?). Verified against code: spawn symlinks it into new +worktrees (spawn-worktree.ts:100); CI never runs porch checks; and the decisive +fact — **the migration is defense-in-depth, not load-bearing**, because root +package.json delegates build/test to packages/codev, proven green all session +by spir's cwd-less checks. No context can break. Main-checkout file creation +handed to the architect (can't write outside worktree); fallback covers the +interim. + +Execution: 4 jsons reconciled → 77 shadow copies deleted → roles/ and +consult-types/ gone entirely → 3 local-only files preserved → +copyRoles/copyProtocols removed with a tombstone → M10 manifest (77 sha256s) ++ equivalence test prove deletion was a byte-level no-op for what agents are +served → allowlist EMPTY → all T11 guards green, zero pending. + +**Humbling M7 note**: my step-4a regex classification of test consumers had 4 +false negatives (bugfix-744, governance-sweep, review-prompt-routing, +bugfix-619 — path.join segments / template literals / dirname traversal). The +deletion caught them: ENOENT, loud, at the point of change. 8 repo-readers +total, all repointed at codev-skeleton/. Recorded in the audit: a grep +classification is a hypothesis; the deletion is the test. + +The repo now dogfoods exactly what it ships. C6's mirror-both-trees invariant +is dead for protocols/roles — Phase 8 updates arch-critical accordingly. + +## Phase 4 iter-1: Gemini/Claude APPROVE, Codex REQUEST_CHANGES ×3 — all fixed + +Codex caught me delivering less than my own amended plan: M10(ii) promised +actual assembled-prompt snapshots and I shipped an inference (hashes + purity +argument). The argument was sound but tested the premises, not the conclusion. +Fixed properly: pre-deletion tree reconstructed via git archive, real +buildPromptFromTemplate run against it for all 9 protocols (spir prompt = +30,593 bytes with inlined protocol reference), snapshots committed, live +assembly must reproduce them byte-for-byte. Also added the tier assertion +(resolved path === skeleton path, not just content match). + +Third catch: my mechanical repoint left bugfix-685's parity comparing a file +to itself — a test that can never fail, worse than no test. Removed it AND the +identical defect in baked-decisions (unflagged — fixing the class, not the +instance). Suite count drops 3,767→3,746: vacuous tests deleted, not skipped. + +Gem for the review: Spec 746's comment explicitly described the drift +("skeleton has Multi-PR Workflow / Verify Phase sections that codev/ doesn't +... PRE-EXISTING and not Phase 1's responsibility"). The drift was OBSERVED +and consciously stepped around months before this project. Detection was never +the problem — thirdhand confirmation of the spec's core thesis. + +## Phase 4 iter-3 — Codex found the drift thesis at ANOTHER copy boundary + +Codex's catch was architecturally the best of the project: my repointed tests +validate codev-skeleton/ (source), but resolveCodevFile serves the EMBEDDED +copy at packages/codev/skeleton (build-time cp). Source tests could pass while +agents get stale bytes — the project's own disease at the build boundary. + +Remedy: skeleton-embed-sync.test.ts — bidirectional byte-parity between source +and embedded trees. One guard at the copy boundary instead of rerouting N +tests through the resolver. Source tests keep their commit-surface advantage +(fail where the dev edits, pre-build); the guard ties commit surface to +serving surface. Same single-owner pattern as everywhere else: enforce the +boundary, don't chase consumers. + +Also swept the duplicate-entry residue as a real class this time (after +claiming that once before and missing 742): deduped 744/governance-sweep/ +protocol-prompt-audit AND found three more vacuous pair loops inside +baked-decisions. 3,726 green. + +## Phase 5 — scar registry, eight compressed wordings (M5/D3) + +Registry at codev/resources/scar-rules.yaml; T6 (scar-rules.test.ts) enforces: +count pinned at 8, ids pinned, byte-verbatim presence on every listed surface, +stale-variant sweep, N3 pair check. 28 skeleton files + CLAUDE/AGENTS + +arch-critical + 4 skill copies converged to canonical wordings. + +Wording judgement calls worth recording: +- **human-gates**: NOT "never approve gates yourself" — builders legitimately + run `porch approve` after the human decision is relayed (workspace + convention). Canonical targets the actual sin: treating a gate as approved + WITHOUT an explicit human decision. +- **never-destroy-worktrees** keeps its escape hatch (--resume, then ask) and + its teeth ("what is expendable is never your call") in two sentences. +- Rules 3/7/8 had NO repo surface (lived only in Waleed's user-global + CLAUDE.md); D3's ratification promotes them to repo CLAUDE/AGENTS always-on. + +Fixture fallout handled as explicit acts: prompt snapshots + manifest +regenerated (now pin post-compression state; comment documents the contract), +derived baselines re-derived with the same canonical substitutions. + +CLAUDE.md structure: two 🚨 banner blocks collapsed into topical compact rules ++ new "Scar Rules (always in force)" section housing the five without topical +homes. Net CLAUDE.md shrink measured in Phase 7. + +## Phase 5 convergence saga — 4 iterations, each Codex catch real + +Iter-1: includes() → line-exactness (appended-qualifier attack); -f → -fd; +maintain/protocol.md registered. Iter-2: architect.md self-contradiction; +gate-rule variant on 8 builder-prompts. Iter-3: SECOND afx-anywhere instance +(fixed the flagged line, hadn't swept the file); sweep extended to the class. +Iter-4: "bypass checks" variant ×11 (grepped the rule's phrasings, not the +ACT's); arch-critical exception dissolved by rewriting the now-false two-trees +fact (freed a cap slot; R5 canonical stands line-exact; pulled a sliver of +Phase 8's C6 rewrite forward with justification). + +Meta-lesson accumulating for the review: every iteration's miss was a +sweep-scope failure — fix-the-instance vs fix-the-class, and grep-for-wording +vs grep-for-act. The registry+line-exactness machinery is exactly what makes +these misses eventually impossible instead of eventually repeated. + +## Phase 6 — ownership map + completeness enforcement (M1/M4) + +Data-first (the B2 lesson): built the extractor, ran it over the declared +boundary (26 files), THEN authored the map from what it found. 134 normative +candidates: 23 mapped (7 non-scar duplicated classes), 37 scar +(registry-enforced externally — no double ownership of scar enforcement), +74 file-local singles. + +Design decision that matters: the catch-all disposition would make T12 vacuous +(everything matches /.*/), so the resolver tracks catch-all usage and FAILS +any candidate whose text appears on 2+ files via catch-all. Single-file +process lines pass cheaply; cross-surface duplication — the thing the +single-owner rule is about — always demands an explicit disposition. New +duplication fails CI the moment it's introduced. + +The 7 non-scar classes are enforcement:manual with justifications naming +their Phase-7 flip (a test asserts every manual justification does so). T7's +machinery is fixture-proven (detects restatement on non-owner) and activates +per-class as Phase 7 flips them — same staged-activation pattern as the drift +gate. Two coordination notes recorded in the map: baked-decisions dedup must +move with Spec 746's test suite; pr-single-by-default with bugfix-744's. + +Suite: 3,744 green. + +## Phase 7 — dedup + measurement: the honest N1 story + +**Achieved: 21,856 → 20,314 served always-on words = −7.1% (target was 20%).** +Reporting the shortfall plainly, per the spec's own instruction, with the +structural decomposition: + +- CLAUDE.md −1,421: the real win. Relocated Runnable Worktrees (1,212w of + reference-tier content that existed NOWHERE else — relocation-with-pointer, + not dedup) into agent-farm.md (both trees), trimmed Inter-agent messaging to + summary+pointer (deep grammar owned by agent-farm.md). +- Spawn −169 net: drift REPAIR added ~207 served words (Multi-PR + Verify + sections the prompt was supposed to have!); protocol.md replacement −384. +- Phase task ≈ flat: canonical scar lines ≈ old variants in length. +- D3 compression's CLAUDE.md savings were largely consumed by D3's OWN + promotion of rules 3/7/8 into the repo (+~120) — compressing while adding. + +Why 20% was never reachable in scope: remaining always-on = protocol.md +(3,703w, protocol semantics excluded by Non-goals), porch prompts (process +scaffolding), CLAUDE.md's genuinely-always-on remainder. The 24.6k→20% +arithmetic assumed more of the surface was duplicated rules; most was +single-owned prose. The verify phase will tell us if even −7% moved behavior. + +**Dedup by include, not by reference** — the key design fact: these are SERVED +prompts; a bugfix builder never sees spir's prompt, so prose references would +DELETE content from agents' context. Shared partials +(codev-skeleton/partials/, expanded via resolveCodevIncludes at assembly) give +single AUTHORED ownership with unchanged SERVED bytes. Include support added +to builder-prompt loading (one line, mirroring the protocol_reference path). +5 partials extracted; 6 classes flipped automated; protocol-specific variants +kept via a new `retained_restatements` field (distinct from `references` so +pointer surfaces stay pattern-forbidden — preserving Codex's Phase-6 fix). + +**Measurement integrity catch (self-caught)**: after extraction the proxy +counted AUTHORED builder-prompt words (612) while agents are SERVED the +expanded form (851). Fixed the script to count expanded words — otherwise N1 +would have claimed 239 phantom words. Dedup-by-include changes ownership, not +served bytes; the metric must not reward it. + +Also: extractor probe corrected my map data twice more (soft-mode carriers = +spir/aspir/bugfix/pir/air, NOT experiment; notifications = spir/aspir uniform ++ air/bugfix protocol-specific). Every reference list I wrote from memory was +wrong somewhere; every grep-verified one held. The pattern is now beyond +dispute. + +## Phase 8 — governance sync + E2E disposition + +- CLAUDE/AGENTS: ~15 dangling `codev/protocols/...` prose refs repointed at + codev-skeleton/ (deletion made them point at nothing); RELEASE pointer + annotated as codev-local-by-design. N3 byte-identity held. +- arch.md: Repository Dual Nature rewritten (codev/protocols/ = local-only + protocols exclusively; shadow story + enforcement told in place); new + single-owner invariant added to Invariants & Constraints. +- lessons-learned.md (Critical): "A detector that reports without failing is a + detector nobody reads" + corollaries (frozen baselines are drift bombs; + grep classification is a hypothesis, deletion is the test; measure the + served artifact, not the authored one). +- arch-critical: already restructured in Phase 5 iter-4 (C6 retired there); + caps verified 10 facts / 33 lines. +- Follow-ups filed: #1276 (tiering, D4) and #1277 (A/B eval, M12c). +- **T13(b) rescheduled to VERIFY by architect ruling** — afx spawn has no + branch selector; every spawn branches from main HEAD, so a pre-merge probe + assembles the PRE-change tree and verifies nothing. Discovered constraint, + documented in spec T13 and added to the verify checklist (architect runs the + disposable probe post-merge + post-local-install and records the prompt). + Pre-merge proxy: the nine byte-compared prompt snapshots. + +## Review phase — all 8 phases closed, review doc written, PR next + +Phase 8 closed after 5 rounds (final: unanimous). Full arc: 8 phases, +~20 review rounds, every Codex REQUEST_CHANGES either fixed or rebutted with +evidence that survived subsequent rounds. Review doc at +codev/reviews/1252-prompt-architecture-single-own.md carries the honest N1 +(-7.0%), the verify-phase checklist (T13b probe + M12b comparison), and the +systematic observation that the review loop's recurring value was checking +that enforcement mechanisms BIND, not that artifacts exist. + +## FINAL CHAPTER — harvested, not merged (2026-07-28) + +Waleed's pr-gate decision: PR #1278 does NOT merge. Charter-level re-scope, +not a quality verdict — a successor project will shrink the prompt surface +radically first (blog-principles judgment rewrite, >50% target, +frontier-models-only), then rebuild enforcement fit-for-purpose around the +post-shrink surface. Carrying deletion + registry + map + trims for a surface +about to be rewritten is the wrong risk/reward. + +Harvest executed: a minimal PR off main carrying (1) the 17-file drift +reconciliation — the live bug — with E1 (max_iterations:3) and E2 (cwd via +main's .codev/config.json) applied, plus the 746 baseline re-derivations the +sync forces; (2) the knowledge artifacts: shadow-tree audit, word baselines, +behavioural baseline, measurement tooling + determinism test, the rewritten +review, this thread. + +Stays on this branch (preserved, PR closed unmerged): deletion + equivalence +proofs, scar registry + T6, ownership map + T12, partials + served guard, +CLAUDE.md restructure, all skeleton edits. The scar-registry concept and the +eight ratified wordings move into the successor charter — deferred, not +discarded. + +Worth saying plainly: the measurement work is what made this decision +possible. An honest -7.0% against a 20% aspiration, decomposed to show the +remaining mass was single-owned protocol prose, is exactly the evidence that +says "shrink the surface first, then enforce." The project's most durable +output may be that its numbers argued against its own machinery. diff --git a/packages/codev/scripts/measure-prompt-behavior.ts b/packages/codev/scripts/measure-prompt-behavior.ts new file mode 100644 index 000000000..b820486d9 --- /dev/null +++ b/packages/codev/scripts/measure-prompt-behavior.ts @@ -0,0 +1,19 @@ +#!/usr/bin/env npx tsx +/** + * CLI runner for the behavioural-impact measurement (Spec 1252, M12 / T14). + * + * The logic lives in `../src/lib/prompt-behavior-metrics.ts` so it is + * unit-testable and can resolve this package's `js-yaml` dependency;

Include a `## Baked Decisions` section (any heading level is fine) anywhere in the issue body. Useful categories: language, framework, deployment shape, key dependencies, decisions deferred to a later spec. The builder will copy the section verbatim into the spec's Constraints and treat each item as fixed; CMAP reviewers will not propose alternatives unless the spec itself fails to honor a stated decision. Leave the section out for issues where you want the builder to explore freely — absence is the no-op default. You can amend or rescind a baked decision at any time by updating the issue and respawning, or by sending the builder a direct instruction via `afx send`. + +## Protocol Phases + +ASPIR follows the same four phases as SPIR.
