docs(roadmap): leave the save point accurate for a cold session - #676
Conversation
Merged tonight: #669, #670, #674. Filed: #671, #672, #673. Nothing in flight. Records the reconciled cost-review outcome (#616): ten review passes across two docs PRs produced nine real P1 findings, three or four of the passes avoidable. The reconciled recommendation is base-freshness enforcement in run-review-leg.sh — fetch the authoritative ref, resolve the PR's actual base branch rather than assuming main, refuse a stale base. Sol argued against its own competing proposal because it "still trusts callers to enumerate every surface." Records the #644 measurement: three documented rules skipped in one session, none enforced by anything mechanical. That is evidence FOR the standing no-new-rules ruling, not against it — all three already existed and a fourth would not have helped. Records three habits that each cost a round: prove a mutation LANDED before trusting the suite, grep completeness instead of asserting it, and check claims about the outside world too. Every claim here was run before this commit. One was already wrong: I had told the maintainer "eight P1s" twice; the count is nine. test-doc-consistency 137/0.
…ered the ruling Both were things I asked the reviewer to check. Both were right. P1-1. "Every leg it ran certified a stale base" is false. #670's rounds 1-4 returned blocking findings and certified nothing; only round 5 certified. The branch WAS stale from birth and every leg reviewed a stale base — but attributing certification to non-certifying legs overstates it, in a block whose whole job is to be accurate for a reader who cannot check. P1-2. I framed three skipped rules as evidence FOR the standing no-new-rules ruling. That is the reading most convenient to me. The maintainer ruled against new mandatory steps in SKILL.md and against a commit-hook lane; I widened that into a general position and then claimed my own measurement supported it. The honest version keeps both halves. The evidence rejects MORE duplicate prose — all three rules already existed. It equally supports MECHANICALLY ENFORCING what is already written, which is a different proposition, and is exactly what #616's reconciled recommendation proposes. "Three written rules did not fire" is an argument about enforcement, not about how many rules exist. Corrected on #644 with a follow-up comment rather than an edit, so the claim and its retraction both stay in the record. test-doc-consistency 137/0.
…SED tree Round 2 caught what round 1's fix still overstated. "Every leg reviewed a stale base" is false: round 6 was the rebase-confirm and reviewed the rebased tree. That leg is the whole reason the sentence exists, and the wording excluded it by asserting the opposite. The sentence now matches the record leg by leg: rounds 1-5 reviewed a stale base, 1-4 certified nothing, 5 certified one, and 6 re-reviewed the rebased tree after the merge was refused. Recorded against myself in the handoff: this took three passes because each time I fixed the exact word the reviewer quoted instead of re-deriving the claim from the record. "Every leg certified" -> "every leg reviewed" -> the actual per-round history. Two of those three passes were avoidable by checking the leg verdicts once. test-doc-consistency 137/0.
Counted the record properly this time: six legs with verdicts plus one transport-failed leg is seven executions, six of them on a stale base. The reviewer's count was right and mine was wrong for the third consecutive round. "every leg certified a stale base" wrong "every leg reviewed a stale base" wrong a per-round tally still miscounted Three rounds on one number is the shape signal, not an invitation to a fourth attempt. SKILL.md:170 routes a repeated shape failure to a design decision rather than another patch, and a prose claim that has survived three fixes deserves the same treatment. So the number comes out. What stays is the fact a cold reader actually needs: the branch was born stale, every review ran on a stale base until the merge was refused, and it cost a refused merge, two clearance reposts and an extra leg. The omission is marked as deliberate so nobody helpfully restores it. Same lesson as #670's deleted guard, reached four rounds slower because the surface was prose instead of a test. test-doc-consistency 137/0.

CROSS-MODEL-CLEARANCE {"confidence": 99, "reviewer": "sol", "sha": "4ccba7ea556c03f5603381accfb455a49cc7b004", "verdict": "YES"}CERTIFIED — SOUND — confidence 99%. No findings. Four adversarial rounds, 4 P1s total, all IN_CARD:
Round 4's repair deleted the leg count instead of patching it a fourth time. That call was put to me as a question I was invited to answer against the author — "is deleting the count the right call, or am I now using 'delete it' as a convenient way to stop losing an argument?" — and I certified over it with zero findings. Three consecutive rounds on one number is the shape signal Verified off-diff: the corrected count was derived by counting the leg verdict files, not by editing the quoted word. The handoff's falsification table records "eight was wrong, it's nine" and "removed-everywhere didn't hold" as failures, not retro-fitted passes. |
