docs(code-review): plan project-aware local review reset by djm81 · Pull Request #517 · nold-ai/specfact-cli-modules

djm81 · 2026-10-16T19:51:41Z

Why

Capsule execution has prevented reliable customer reviews. Plan one trusted local runner that uses customer project environments and standards while keeping SpecFact externally installed.

What changed

Add four linked OpenSpec changes for runtime bootstrap, project checks, local reports and cutover, and installed acceptance.
Record issue alignment, 55 paired acceptance scenarios and the implementation sequence, including provisioned offline execution and future executable evidence binding.
Defer canonical stable publication until paired consumer and installed acceptance.
Retire abandoned capsule proposals and mark partially delivered lineage as superseded while preserving historical evidence.

Scope

Planning artifacts, evidence and documentation links only. All 72 new modules implementation tasks remain unchecked. The paired core now has 18 future tasks and explicit C15 and unsupported same-major compatibility scenarios. Runtime, workflows, dependencies, module assets and signatures are unchanged.

Blast Radius

This changes future delivery ordering and proposal authority. Protected assurance, active C15 work and independent signing/security gates retain their ownership and acceptance.

Verification

All four replacement changes pass strict OpenSpec validation; planned mappings and artifact-only scope checks pass.
Normal applicable modules hooks passed, including 28 existing contract tests.
Live GitHub readback verifies hierarchy, native blockers and the approved supersession dispositions.
Core wiki alignment and native graph rebuild completed; strict wiki health has 59 existing errors and no introduced errors.

Tracks #513, #514, #515 and #516. Implementation remains follow-up work.

Paired planning: nold-ai/specfact-cli#770.

Current CI blockers outside this planning diff are tracked in #518: unchanged core dependency/version and smoke-fixture identities in the quality matrix. No gate has been weakened.

📝 Summary

Summary

Adds four linked OpenSpec changes for trusted, project-aware local review: runtime bootstrap, project standards and checks, local reports and cutover, and external-installation acceptance.
Updates issue coordination and change-order records. Marks unfinished capsule proposals and remaining capsule work as superseded or abandoned, while preserving historical records and shipped fixes.
This PR changes planning artifacts and GitHub alignment only. It does not change bundle commands or adapters, bridge/runtime behavior, specfact_cli APIs, or production code.

Module surface and integrity

Issues #513–#516 own planned module implementation. Core issue #769 owns paired core work.
The plans retain module signatures, source integrity, and independent security gates. No module package manifest, semver, signature verification, or registry behavior changes are reported.
The plans require later review of schema 2.0 producer/consumer compatibility. They do not authorize changes to active C15 work or protected C14 evidence.

Cross-repository and documentation impact

The OpenSpec plans identify paired core work and future compatibility review. They do not make cross-repository code or import changes in this PR.
No documentation-site, documentation-url-contract, or CHANGELOG changes are reported. The supplied evidence does not establish documentation URL contract validation.

OpenSpec coverage and status

Adds changes code-review-17-project-runtime-bootstrap, code-review-18-project-standards-and-checks, code-review-19-local-report-and-cutover, and code-review-20-external-installation-acceptance.
The validation record reports 55 mapped inspection cases and 89 unchecked implementation tasks across the five planned changes. The PR objective separately reports 71 new module implementation tasks. These are different stated counts and scopes.
The supplied materials report strict OpenSpec and planning validation. Runtime tests, implementation, installed acceptance, and release remain pending.
Review severity counts are unavailable because current review findings were not supplied.

This planning-only change defines a trusted, project-aware review sequence, records requirements and future acceptance criteria, and updates GitHub alignment. It also retires unfinished capsule plans as superseded or abandoned history. No runtime implementation or published-support changes are included.

Changes: Trusted Local Review Planning

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Reset order and ownership `openspec/CHANGE_ORDER.md`, `openspec/changes/code-review-15-signal-calibrated-blocking-gate/*`, `.audit/code-review-reset-validation.json`	The change order records five planned changes, updates tree counts, and records capsule dispositions. Change 15 notes document compatibility coordination and preserve existing C15 and protected-evidence relationships. The validation receipt records planning checks and issue and pull-request dispositions.
Project runtime architecture and requirements `openspec/changes/code-review-17-project-runtime-bootstrap/*`	The proposal, design, and spec describe planned interpreter selection, sidecar preparation, shared execution, failure handling, and source-bound evidence. Requirements, tasks, GitHub alignment, and validation records distinguish planning checks from pending implementation and runtime acceptance.
Customer standards and review checks `openspec/changes/code-review-18-project-standards-and-checks/*`	The artifacts specify planned handling for customer standards, profile providers, analyzer environments, contract checks, and explicit pytest targets. Implementation and runtime validation remain pending.
Local evidence and execution cutover `openspec/changes/code-review-19-local-report-and-cutover/*`	The artifacts specify schema 2.0 local evidence, source-bound execution, completion semantics, and a planned single-runner cutover. Runtime implementation and validation remain pending.
External installation acceptance `openspec/changes/code-review-20-external-installation-acceptance/*`	The artifacts specify future acceptance through pipx, uv tool, and repeated uvx, with platform compatibility, independent gates, and release and rollback requirements. Implementation and installed acceptance remain pending.
Supersede and archive capsule proposals `openspec/changes/code-review-native-platform-execution/`, `openspec/changes/code-review-portable-reviewer-bootstrap/`, `openspec/history/abandoned/*`, `scripts/macos_managed_boundary/README.md`	Existing capsule plans identify remaining work as superseded, not completed. Apple and Windows proposals are marked as never-delivered abandoned history, and affected references and documentation are updated.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Change: Other

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 325dc

This planning-only change does not alter runtime behavior. Two documents still need wording fixes. The release task checklist allows publication before installed acceptance. The retired capsule feasibility notes still contain language that implies active authority. Both fixes are small and low-risk follow-ups.

Mark the native capsule records as superseded. The reset retires the capsule milestone, but these records still present it as active. Keep measured results as historical evidence and direct readers to the replacement architecture.

Remove the machine-local /private/tmp helper paths.

The record cites /private/tmp/specfact_verify_reset_artifacts.py and /private/tmp/specfact_code_review_reset.py as reproduction helpers. Neither file is in the repository. Readers cannot reproduce the validation from a clone. The .audit/ files it cites are also not part of this review. Commit the helpers under a tracked path, or state that the evidence is not reproducible from the repository.

The count-conflict finding is refuted. Changes 17–20 contain 18 + 18 + 18 + 17 = 71 unchecked tasks. The 83-task figure covers the five-source cohort, including paired core adoption with 12 tasks. The records therefore use different scopes and do not conflict.

⚠️ Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.

Name the concrete schema consumers that need version dispatch.

scripts/pre_commit_code_review.py still classifies any major above 1 as at least 1.6. Its _schema_version_at_least and _authoritative_report_exit_code functions would judge a schema 2.0 report by assurance_status. The artifacts describe this risk but do not name the files to change. The core consumer reads only findings and overall_verdict, so it also needs explicit dispatch.

openspec/changes/code-review-19-local-report-and-cutover/design.md#L11-L11: name scripts/pre_commit_code_review.py, its two helper functions and the core consumer as required cutover edits.

openspec/changes/code-review-17-project-runtime-bootstrap/design.md#L135-L135: reference the same files so the canonical design and change 19 agree.

openspec/changes/code-review-19-local-report-and-cutover/tasks.md#L22-L22: name the script and require a schema 2.0 fixture test that fails against the current helper.
