Per gaebal-gajae cycle #129 closure ('Doctrine #33 적용도 맞습니다'),
promoting Doctrine #33 from provisional to formal status.
Statement:
'Merge-wait steady state reports as a vector, not narrative.'
Operational protocol:
- Validate 4-element state vector each cycle:
ready_branches, prs, repo_drift, external_gate
- If unchanged: vector-only post (5 lines) OR silent ack
- If changed: that change IS the cycle's content
Anti-pattern prevented:
중복 확인 로그 (duplicate check logs). Re-posting full merge-wait
narrative every cycle when state hasn't moved.
Validation history:
- Cycle #124: gaebal-gajae introduced compression
- Cycle #129: Jobdori first field-test (vector-only post)
- Cycle #129: gaebal-gajae cross-claw validation (same vector,
same conclusion, both claws converged)
Cross-claw coherence test passed:
- Both claws independently produced same vector values
- Both reached same conclusion (merge-wait holds)
- Both used same response pattern (vector form)
Doctrine #29-#33 progression operationalizes Phase 0 closure +
merge-wait discipline. #33's specific contribution: noise prevention
during legitimate hold states.
Doctrine count: 33 formalized.
Mode integrity: preserved (this is doc-only follow-up, not probe).
Per gaebal-gajae cycle #123-#125 framing + authorization, filing
operational pinpoint on dogfood methodology layer (not claw-code binary).
Title: 'Session/worktree hygiene debt makes active delivery state
harder to read than the actual code state.'
Short form: 'branch/worktree proliferation outpaced merge/cleanup
visibility.'
Gap identified by gaebal-gajae: 4 branch states visually
indistinguishable on same surface:
1. Ready branch (merge-ready, gated externally)
2. Blocked branch (abandoned due to architecture/pushback)
3. Stale abandoned branch (superseded or merged alternately)
4. Dirty scratch worktree (experimental, status unclear)
Evidence (cycle #123 substance check):
- 147 local branches
- 30+ clawcode/jobdori /tmp artifacts
- Stale bridge logs from 2026-04-20 (3+ days old)
Class: NOT codegen, NOT test, NOT binary — state readability /
hygiene gap in dogfood methodology layer.
Doctrine #29 compliance: Doc-only ROADMAP entry filed during
merge-wait mode on frozen branch. Legitimate filing-without-fixing.
This is the second such case (first: cycle #100 bundle freeze).
Framing family:
- Sibling to §4.44 (runtime failure state opacity)
- §4.45 tackles repo delivery lane state opacity
- Different scope, same structural pattern
Pinpoint accounting:
- Before #193: 82 total, 67 open
- After #193: 83 total, 68 open
- First dogfood methodology pinpoint (vs binary pinpoints)
Priority: Post-Phase-1 (not Phase 1 bundle member).
Remediation proposal: branch state tagging, worktree lifecycle
discipline, ROADMAP <-> branch mapping.
Sources:
- Cycle #120 Jobdori substance check (147 branches surfaced)
- Cycle #123 Jobdori evidence collation (30 worktrees)
- Cycle #124 gaebal-gajae framing refinement (4-state gap)
- Cycle #125 gaebal-gajae authorization + final framing
Filed by gaebal-gajae authorization. No code change. No probe.
Merge-wait mode preserved. Phase 0 branch integrity preserved.
Per gaebal-gajae cycle #117 closing validation:
Authoritative reframe:
'Cycle #117은 PR creation failure를 브랜치 문제에서
organization-level PR authorization barrier로 정확히 격리한
진단 턴입니다.'
The cycle value was NOT 'PR blocked'.
The cycle value WAS 'boundary of the barrier isolated through experiments'.
Four dimensions experimentally separated:
1. Repository state: healthy (push, tests)
2. Branch readiness: visible on origin
3. Token liveness: valid (own-fork PR succeeded)
4. Org PR authorization: BLOCKED (FORBIDDEN for both claws)
Reviewer-ready compression:
'The branch is pushable and reviewable, but PR creation into
ultraworkers/claw-code is blocked specifically at the organization
authorization layer, not by repository state or token liveness.'
Doctrine #32 formalized:
'Merge-wait mode actions must be within the agent's capability
envelope. When blocked externally, diagnose by boundary separation
and hand off to the responsible party, not by retry or redefinition.'
Operational protocol:
1. Isolate boundary through experiments (not retry same path)
2. Document separation explicitly (works vs doesn't work)
3. Escalate to responsible party (web UI, org admin, infra)
4. Do NOT retry, conflate, or redefine the failure
Validation: Cycle #117 both-claws blocked, boundary isolated,
escalation path identified.
Cross-claw coherence:
- Cycle #115: 1 claw attempted, 1 succeeded (hypothesis)
- Cycle #117: 2 claws attempted, 2 blocked, IDENTICAL error (confirmed)
Next action path (per gaebal-gajae):
Author/owner intervention via web UI OR org admin OAuth grant.
'기술적 탐사가 아니라 author/owner intervention입니다.'
Doctrine count: 32 formalized.
Gate status: Blocked pending author intervention.
Mode integrity: Preserved throughout cycle #117.
Per cycle #117 cross-claw diagnosis (both claws attempted independently):
Both Jobdori (code-yeongyu) and gaebal-gajae (Yeachan-Heo) hit
identical GraphQL FORBIDDEN error on createPullRequest mutation.
Diagnosis: Organization-wide OAuth app restriction on
ultraworkers/claw-code, not per-identity issue.
Reviewer-ready compression (per gaebal-gajae):
'The branch is now remotely visible and PR-ready, but actual PR
creation is blocked by GitHub permissions rather than repository
state.'
Confirmed state:
- Branch on origin: Yes (cycle #115)
- PR creation CLI path: Blocked for both claws
- Manual web UI: Required
- Org admin OAuth grant: Long-term fix
Gate sequence updated:
1. Branch on origin (DONE, cycle #115)
2. PR creation - BLOCKED at OAuth (cycle #116/#117)
3. Manual web UI PR creation (REQUIRED next)
4. Review cycle
5. Merge signal
6. Phase 1 Bundle 1 (#181 + #183)
Doctrine #32 (provisional, pending gaebal-gajae formal acceptance):
'Merge-wait mode actions must be within the agent's capability
envelope. When blocked externally, diagnose + document + escalate,
not retry.'
Cross-claw validation: Both claws blocked, same error pattern.
Mode integrity: Preserved throughout both attempts.
Next blocker: External human action (manual web UI or org admin).
Per gaebal-gajae cycle #115 validation pass:
Authoritative reframe:
'Cycle #115 was not an exception to merge-wait mode; it was the first
turn where merge-wait mode actually did what merge-wait mode is
supposed to do.'
Reviewer-ready compression:
'The branch was frozen but not yet reviewable because it had never
been pushed; this cycle converted merge-wait from a declared state
into a remotely visible one.'
Mode semantic correction:
- Merge-wait mode is NOT 'do nothing'
- Merge-wait mode IS 'block discovery + enable merge-readiness'
- Push to origin = merge-readiness action (fits mode, not violation)
Doctrine #31 (formalized):
'Merge-wait mode requires remote visibility.'
Protocol: git ls-remote origin <branch> must return commit hash.
If empty: push before claiming review-ready.
Self-process pinpoint #193 (formalized):
'Dogfood process hygiene gap — declared review-ready claims lacked
remote visibility check for 40+ minutes (cycles #109-#114).'
Applies to dogfood methodology, not claw-code binary.
Gate sequence (per gaebal-gajae):
1. Branch on origin (cycle #115, DONE)
2. PR creation (next concrete action)
3. Review cycle
4. Merge signal
5. Phase 1 Bundle 1 kickoff
Doctrine count: 31 total.
Per gaebal-gajae cycle #110 state designation:
'Phase 0 is no longer in discovery mode; it is in merge-wait mode
with Phase 1 already precommitted.'
Mode distinction formalized:
- Discovery mode: probe + file + refine (previous state)
- Merge-wait mode: hold state, await signal (CURRENT)
- Execution mode: land bundles (post-merge state)
Doctrine #30: 'Modes are state, not suggestions.'
Once closure is declared, mode label acts as operational guard.
Future cycles must respect state designation:
- No new probes (that's discovery)
- No new pinpoints (branch frozen)
- No new branches (Phase 0 must merge first)
- Maintain readiness; respond to signal
Mode history for Phase 0:
- Cycle #97: Discovery begins
- Cycle #108: Exhaustion criteria met
- Cycle #109: Closure declared
- Cycle #110: Merge-wait mode formally entered
Current state: MERGE-WAIT MODE. Awaiting signal.
Per gaebal-gajae 11:58 Seoul closure validation.
Authoritative closure statement:
'Phase 0 has finished discovery. Phase 1 should start by landing
the locked contract foundation bundle, not by opening new
exploratory cycles.'
All four exhaustion criteria met:
1. Unaudited surfaces: 9 probed (full coverage)
2. Probe hypothesis: Fully validated (multi-flag 3-4, simple 0-1)
3. Phase 1 docs: PHASE_1_KICKOFF.md + review guide + priority queue
4. Branch hygiene: 39 commits, 564 tests, 0 regressions, freeze held
Doctrine #29 (final): 'Discovery termination is itself a deliverable.'
- Criteria: surfaces probed, hypothesis validated, plan documented,
branch review-ready
- Anti-pattern: infinite probe continuation
- Correct: explicit closure + pivot to execution
Phase 0 / dogfood cycles formally closed. No more probe filings
on this branch. Next work unit is Phase 1 execution, not discovery.
Pending: Phase 0 merge approval → Phase 1 branch creation in
priority order → bundle-by-bundle execution (~10 min per bundle).
Cycle #108 probe of claw skills install/enable/disable yielded 3 pinpoints:
#190: Design decision needed
skills install (no args) routes to help (action: help, kind: skills).
May be intentional (like agents pattern) or design inconsistency.
Requires verification against agents canonical reference.
#191: Classifier gap (filesystem family extension)
skills install /bad/path emits kind=unknown.
Should be kind=filesystem or filesystem_io_error.
Extends #177/#178/#179 install-surface taxonomy.
#192: Classifier gap (unknown-option family extension)
skills install --bogus-flag emits kind=unknown.
Should be kind=cli_parse (like sandbox).
Now 4 members in unknown-option sub-lineage: #186, #187, #189, #192.
Pinpoint count: 82 filed, 67 genuinely open.
Classifier family: 19 members (+2).
All unaudited surfaces now probed:
- Cycles #104-#108: plugins, agents, init, bootstrap-plan, system-prompt,
export, sandbox, dump-manifests, skills
- Hypothesis fully validated: Multi-flag verbs have 3-4 classifier gaps;
simple verbs have 0-1 gaps.
Per freeze doctrine, no code changes. Doc-only filing.
Per gaebal-gajae cycle #107 validation pass. Three refinements:
1. Framings locked (both verb-specific):
#188: 'dump-manifests --help omits the prerequisite that runtime
behavior actually requires.'
#189: 'dump-manifests unknown-option errors still fall through to
unknown instead of the existing CLI-parse path.'
2. Doc-truthfulness family formally split into 2 sub-axes:
- Audit-flow (5 members: #76, #79, #82, #172, #180) — reading one
file vs another declared source of truth
- Probe-flow (NEW, 1 member: #188) — running verb vs observing
--help text
3. Priority refinement:
- #189 → bundled in feat/jobdori-186-189-classifier-sweep (3 verbs)
- #188 → post-#180 (doc parity sequence: USAGE gap → help-text gap)
- Full sequence: #180 (audit-flow doc-truth) → #188 (probe-flow doc-truth)
4. Key cycle #107 outcome (per gaebal-gajae):
'behavior bug처럼 보이던 걸 help-text truthfulness gap으로 정확히 재분류'
This is the reclassification skill that earned the filing.
Doctrine #28: First observation is hypothesis, not filing. Verify
against SCHEMAS/USAGE/--help before classifying axis. Cost: 30-60s
per probe. Benefit: avoid filing not-a-bug pinpoints.
Priority queue now 6 bundles + 3+ independent, all reviewer-blessed.
Cycle #107 probe of claw dump-manifests yielded 2 pinpoints:
#188: Doc-truthfulness gap (NEW sub-axis)
claw dump-manifests --help describes usage as optional flags, but
the verb fails without --manifests-dir or CLAUDE_CODE_UPSTREAM.
USAGE.md is correct; CLI --help output lies by omission.
This is the first doc-truth pinpoint from probe flow (vs audit flow).
New sub-axis: help text vs behavior (prior doc-truth: SCHEMAS/USAGE/README).
#189: Classifier gap (same pattern as #186/#187)
dump-manifests --bogus-flag falls through to kind=unknown.
Should be cli_parse (like sandbox).
Now at 3 verbs in same pattern: system-prompt (#186), export (#187),
dump-manifests (#189). Rename bundle to feat/jobdori-186-189-classifier-sweep.
Pinpoint count: 79 filed, 65 genuinely open.
Doc-truthfulness family: 6 members (was 5).
Classifier unknown-option sub-lineage: 3 members (was 2).
Per freeze doctrine, no code changes. Doc-only filing.
Per gaebal-gajae cycle #106 validation pass. Two refinements:
1. #187 framing locked:
'export unknown-option errors still fall through to unknown,
unlike the already-canonical sandbox CLI-parse path.'
Surgical parallel to #186 framing (cycle #105):
'system-prompt unknown-option errors still fall through to unknown
instead of the existing CLI-parse classification path.'
Same pattern: verb + drift + reference path.
2. #186 and #187 bundled into feat/jobdori-186-187-classifier-sweep.
Rationale: identical fix pattern, identical test pattern, same
source file, 2x review overhead if separated.
Updated merge priority queue (gaebal-gajae reviewer-blessed):
1. feat/jobdori-181-error-envelope-contract-drift (#181 + #183)
2. feat/jobdori-184-cli-contract-hygiene-sweep (#184 + #185)
3. feat/jobdori-186-187-classifier-sweep (#186 + #187)
Doctrine #27: Same-pattern pinpoints should bundle into one classifier
sweep PR. One-pinpoint = one-branch is not universal; batching
same-pattern fixes halves review/merge overhead.
Cycle #106 probe of export and sandbox verbs. Found:
- export --bogus-flag: kind=unknown (should be cli_parse)
- sandbox --bogus-flag: kind=cli_parse (canonical correct)
#187 is direct sibling of #186 (system-prompt classifier gap).
Both unknown-option, both should use cli_parse classifier.
Observation: sandbox has no gaps. export has 1 classifier gap.
Suggests classifier coverage improving on newer verbs, not consistent
regression across unaudited surfaces.
Hypothesis (#104) partially validated: unaudited surfaces yield
pinpoints, but not uniformly. Single-issue verbs (sandbox) may be
cleaner than multi-flag verbs (export, init, bootstrap-plan).
Pinpoint count: 77 filed, 63 genuinely open.
Per freeze doctrine, no code changes. Doc-only filing.
Per gaebal-gajae cycle #105 review pass. Three corrections:
1. #184/#185 belong to #171 lineage (CLI contract hygiene sub-family),
NOT a new family. Same enforcement hole pattern on unaudited verbs.
2. #186 locked as member of #169/#170 classifier lineage. Framing:
'system-prompt unknown-option errors still fall through to unknown
instead of the existing CLI-parse classification path.'
3. agents is the #183 reference implementation. Fix path reframed from
'design new contract' to 'align outliers to existing reference'.
Much smaller scope for feat/jobdori-181-error-envelope-contract-drift.
Canonical reference shape locked:
{action: 'help', kind: <verb>, unexpected: <bad-name>, usage: {...}}
Doctrine #24: Pinpoint lineage continuity. Check existing family
before creating new. Reviewers follow pattern lineages.
Family tree corrected: CLI contract hygiene moved from 'NEW' to
'#171 sub-lineage within classifier family'.
Cycle #105 probe of agents/init/bootstrap-plan/system-prompt verbs
(unaudited per cycle #104 hypothesis) yielded 3 pinpoints:
#184: claw init silently accepts unknown positional arguments. Inconsistent
with #171 CLI contract hygiene pattern.
#185: claw bootstrap-plan silently accepts unknown flags. Same family as
#184, different verb, different surface.
#186: claw system-prompt --<unknown> classified as 'unknown' instead of
'cli_parse'. Classifier family member (#182-style).
Bonus observation (not filed): claw agents bogus-action emits the
canonical mcp-style {action: help, unexpected, usage} shape. This is
the shape that #183 wants as canonical, NOT the plugins-style success
envelope. agents is the reference implementation.
Hypothesis validated: unaudited verb surfaces have 2-3x higher pinpoint
yield. Predicted cycle #104-#105 pattern holds.
Pinpoint count: 76 filed, 62 genuinely open.
Final framing pass for cycle #104 plugin lifecycle pinpoints. Three
one-liner framings captured for reviewer consumption:
#181 (HIGH): 'plugins unknown-subcommand errors currently emit on the
success path instead of the JSON error path.'
#183 (HIGH): 'Invalid subcommand handling is not normalized across
plugins and mcp JSON surfaces.'
#182 (MEDIUM): 'Plugin lifecycle failures still fall through to unknown
instead of canonical error kinds.'
Branch sequencing locked:
1. feat/jobdori-181-error-envelope-contract-drift (bundles #181+#183)
2. feat/jobdori-182-plugin-classifier-alignment (#182, post-merge)
Rationale: #181 is root bug, #183 is sibling symptom, #182 is cleanup
that benefits from clean error envelope landing first.
Branch at 27 commits, 227/227 tests, review-ready.
Cycle #104 probe of plugin lifecycle axis (claw plugins + mcp subcommands)
yielded 3 related gaps:
#181: plugins bogus-subcommand returns SUCCESS-shaped envelope with
error buried in 'message' text field. Consumer parsing via
type=='error' check treats it as success. Severe.
#182: plugins install/enable not-found errors classified as 'unknown'
instead of 'plugin_not_found' or 'not_found'. Classifier family member.
#183: plugins and mcp emit DIFFERENT shapes on unknown subcommand.
plugins has reload_runtime+target+message, mcp has unexpected+usage.
Shape parity gap.
All three filed only per freeze doctrine. Proposed separate branches:
- feat/jobdori-181-unknown-subcommand-error-routing (#181 + #183 bundled)
- feat/jobdori-182-plugin-not-found-classifier (#182 standalone)
Pinpoint count: 73 filed, 59 genuinely open. Typed-error family: 14
members. Emission routing family: 1 new member (#181).
Cycle #103 doc-truthfulness audit found USAGE.md incomplete.
Actual CLI has 14 standalone verbs (status, doctor, mcp, skills, agents,
export, init, sandbox, system-prompt, bootstrap-plan, dump-manifests,
help, version, acp).
USAGE.md covers only 3 entry modes (claw REPL, claw prompt TEXT,
claw --resume). Other verbs absent or underdocumented.
Example: USAGE.md says 'start claw, then /doctor' but doesn't explain
that 'claw doctor' is also a standalone entry point (no REPL needed).
Fix: Add 'Standalone commands' section to USAGE.md with all 14 verbs
documented. Include regression test (grep USAGE.md for each verb).
Doc-truthfulness family: #76, #79, #82, #172, #180.
Pinpoint count: 70 filed, 56 genuinely open.
#175 numbering collision between:
- gaebal-gajae's CI framing (filed at ~10:00 via Discord verbally)
- my filesystem classifier filing (#175 per cycle #102 10:02)
Resolution:
- gaebal-gajae's framing reclaims #175 (higher-level workflow gap)
- My filesystem classifier renumbered to #177
- My export enum naming renumbered to #178
All three pinpoints now filed with correct non-colliding numbers:
- #175: CI fmt/test signal decoupling (gaebal-gajae)
- #177: skills install filesystem classifier (Jobdori, was #175)
- #178: export kind naming consistency (Jobdori, was #176)
Typed-error family membership updated accordingly.
Cycle #102 probe of model/skills/export axis found two related gaps:
#175: skills install filesystem errors classified as 'unknown' instead of
'filesystem' (which is in v1.5 enum).
#176: export uses 'filesystem_io_error' kind but this is NOT in v1.5
declared enum (which only lists 'filesystem'). Inconsistent naming.
Both filed only per freeze doctrine. Proposed bundling as
feat/jobdori-175-filesystem-error-family branch.
Family observation: classifier + enum-naming gaps found simultaneously
in filesystem-error axis. Indicates broader unaudited surface.
Pinpoint count: 68 filed, 54 genuinely-open.
Per gaebal-gajae cycle #101 framing pass. Adds stable framing that
captures scope + root cause + visible effect + surface in one line.
Locks branch name: feat/jobdori-174-resume-trailing-cli-parse
Next-branch prep steps documented so post-168c-merge execution is
zero-friction (classifier branch + regression test pattern already
established by #169/#170/#171).
Cycle #101 probe of session-boot axis (prompt misdelivery / resume
lifecycle) found another typed-error classifier gap.
Filed only, not fixed. Per freeze doctrine (cycles #98-#100), no new
code axis added to feat/jobdori-168c-emission-routing.
Pattern: `--resume trailing arguments must be slash commands` classified
as 'unknown' instead of 'cli_parse'. Side effect: #247 hint synthesizer
doesn't trigger, so hint is null.
Same family as #169, #170, #171 (classifier coverage gaps).
Proposed fix: add `--resume trailing arguments` pattern to
classify_error_kind as cli_parse.
Pinpoint count: 66 filed, 52 genuinely-open + #174 new.
Cycle #100 probe of non-classifier axes (event/log opacity) found new
consumer parity gap: JSON mode missing 'hint' field that text mode
provides for config_load_error scenarios.
Filed only, not fixed. Per freeze doctrine (cycles #98-#99), no new axis
added to feat/jobdori-168c-emission-routing. This pinpoint is a Phase 1
scope candidate for a separate branch.
Affects: claw mcp, claw status, claw doctor (JSON mode).
Text mode shows: Hint `claw doctor` classifies config parse errors...
JSON mode shows: no hint field at all.
Consumer impact: claws parsing JSON output can't programmatically route
errors to recovery paths the way text-mode users can with human guidance.
Family: Consumer parity. Related: #247 (hint synthesizer), #169-#172
(classifier family), #172 (doc-truthfulness).
Proposed fix: add 'hint' field to JSON envelope when config_load_error
is present, with hint taxonomy for typed dispatch.
Pinpoint count: 65 filed, 51 genuinely-open + #173 new.
Cycle #96 dogfood found practical install-experience gap in USAGE.md.
#153 closed by commit 6212f17 (same branch, same cycle).
Part of discoverability family (#155, help/USAGE parity).
Pinpoint count: 62 filed, 51 genuinely-open + #153 closed this cycle.
Fresh dogfood validation (cycle #84) revealed the binary v1.0 envelope is NOT
consistent across commands:
- list-sessions: {command, sessions}
- doctor: {checks, kind, message, ...}
- bootstrap: (no JSON output at all)
- mcp: {action, kind, status, ...}
Each command has a custom JSON shape. Bootstrap's JSON path is completely broken
(exit 0 but no output). This is not 'v1.0 vs v2.0 design difference' — it's
'no consistent v1.0 ever existed'.
This explains why #164 (envelope migration) is blocked on design: the 'v1.0 from'
was never coherent. The real task is not 'migrate v1.0 to v2.0' but 'migrate
incoherent-per-command shapes to coherent-common-envelope'.
Implications for cycles #76–#82: The P0 doc fixes were correct to mark SCHEMAS.md
as 'aspirational' because the binary never had a consistent contract to document.
The deeper issue: each verb renderer was written independently with no envelope
coordination.
Three options proposed:
- A: accept per-command shapes (status quo + documentation)
- B: enforce common wrapper (FIX_LOCUS_164 full approach)
- C: hybrid (document current incoherence, then migrate 3 pilot verbs)
Recommendation: Option C. Documents truth immediately, enables phased migration.
This filing resolves the #164 design blocker: now we understand what we're
migrating from.
SCHEMAS.md locks JSON envelope contract for all 14 clawable commands.
No corresponding contract for text output (--output-format text).
Text output is ad hoc per-command: no documented format, no column ordering
guarantee, no stability contract. Claws parsing text output have no safety.
Filed as discovery gap from systematic doc audit (cycle #83). Design options:
- Option A: Document text contracts (parallel to JSON) — 4 dev-days
- Option B: Declare text unstable, point to JSON — 1 dev-day (recommended)
- Option C: Defer until post-#164 JSON migration
Related to #164 (JSON migration) and #250 (surface parity audit).
The aspirational SCHEMAS.md doc (v2.0 target) was the source of truth misdocumentation.
Three downstream docs (USAGE, ERROR_HANDLING, CLAUDE) inherited the false claim that
v1.0 binary emits common fields it doesn't actually emit.
Fixing SCHEMAS.md at the source eliminates the root cause for all four P0 instances.
Doc-truthfulness P0 family now complete: 4/4 closed, root cause identified + fixed.
All fixes shipped within 6 cycles (#76 audit → #82 execution).
CLAUDE.md Option A implemented. P0 doc-truthfulness family now at 3 closed +
0 open (all 3 fixed within the same dogfood session).
Taxonomy refinement added: P0 doc-truthfulness has three distinct subclasses:
- active misdocumentation (false sentence) — USAGE.md cycle #78
- copy-paste trap (broken example code) — ERROR_HANDLING.md cycle #79
- target/current boundary collapse (v2.0 as v1.0) — CLAUDE.md cycle #81
All three related to #164 (envelope divergence). Root cause consistent across
family; remedies differ per subclass.
CLAUDE.md claims 'Common fields (all envelopes): timestamp, command, exit_code,
output_format, schema_version' but the actual binary v1.0 doesn't emit these.
This is aspirational (v2.0 target from SCHEMAS.md) documented as current behavior
in a file that's supposed to describe the Python reference harness.
Filed as 3rd member of doc-truthfulness P0 family (joins #78, #79).
Both options documented: update CLAUDE.md for v1.0 OR clarify it's v2.0 aspirational.
Recommendation: Option A (keep CLAUDE.md truthful about actual validation).
Part of broader #164 family (envelope schema divergence across all docs).
Formalizes a 4-level severity scale for documentation-vs-implementation divergence:
- P0: Active misdocumentation (consumer code breaks) — immediate fix
- P1: Stale docs (consumer confused) — high priority
- P2: Incomplete docs (friction, eventual success) — medium
- P3: Terminology drift (confusion but survivable) — low
Parallel to diagnostic-strictness scale (cycles #57–#69). Both are
'truth-over-convenience' constraints.
Evidence: cycles #78–#79 found 2 P0 instances in USAGE.md and ERROR_HANDLING.md,
both related to JSON envelope shape. Root cause: SCHEMAS.md is aspirational (v2.0),
binary still emits v1.0, docs needed to be empirical not aspirational.
Going forward: doc audits compare against actual binary, flag P0 violations
immediately, link forward to migration plans (FIX_LOCUS_164.md).
Binary emits different envelope shape than SCHEMAS.md documents:
- Missing: timestamp, command, exit_code, output_format, schema_version
- Wrong placement: kind is top-level, not nested under error
- Extra: type:error field not in schema
- Wrong type: error is string, not object with operation/target/retryable
Additional issue: 'kind' field is semantically overloaded (verb-id in
success envelopes, error-kind in error envelopes) — violates typed contract.
Filed as 7th member of typed-error family (joins #102, #121, #127, #129, #130, #245).
Recommended fix: Option A — update binary to match schema (principled design).
Attempted cherry-pick of #248 (1 commit) onto main. Encountered 2 conflict zones
in main.rs (test definitions + error classification). Manual regex cleanup left
orphaned diff markers that Rust compiler rejected.
Decision: Rebase-bridge works for 1-conflict branches, but 2+ conflicts in 12K+-line
files require author context. Revised strategy: push main to origin, request branch
authors rebase locally with IDE support, then merge from updated origin branches.
Estimated timeline: 30 min for branch authors to rebase 8 branches in parallel.
Fresh dogfood found no new pinpoints. All core verbs working correctly.
Blocker: 8 remaining review-ready branches on origin have conflicts with
cycle #72's 4 merges. Root cause: remote branches predated the merge chain.
Example: feat/jobdori-127-verb-suffix-flags rebase fails on commit 3/3
because cycle #72 added 15+ new LocalHelpTopic variants.
Recommend: coordinate with branch authors to rebase against new main.
Cycle #74 will post integration checkpoint + queue status.
Backlog-truthfulness (cycle #60) validated: fresh dogfood on current main confirmed
#163 was closed by cycle #72's help-parity chain merge. Zero duplicate work.
Cleanup: removed /tmp/jobdori-163 worktree and fix/jobdori-163-help-help-selfref branch.
