Status

Ready for re-review; not merged.

What was wrong

Verification could report skipped or unreadable checks as passed, and custom task globs could lose evidence.

How it was fixed

Aggregate tracked task files, preserve unavailable-evidence reasons, distinguish untracked tasks, and document the apply contract in docs-lab.

Proof

Build and 59 focused tests pass. A broader serial run has 4 failures in unrelated CLI/config tests; details in the review comment.

Notes

Closes #1951. Reviewer approval and hosted CI/Security remain merge gates.

Step 5 gates task and spec coverage on `contextFiles.tasks` and
`contextFiles.specs`. `contextFiles` is an artifact-id map and artifact
ids come from the active schema, so on a schema that defines neither, both
branches are no-ops: nothing is checked, no issues are raised, and step 8
concludes "All checks passed. Ready for archive."

The Graceful Degradation guardrail already asks the agent to note skipped
checks, but nothing stopped the all-clear verdict. Mark an unchecked
dimension `Not verified` in the scorecard and require the final assessment
to name it.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The verify workflow now aggregates schema-matched task files through tasks and progress. Missing evidence produces explicit not-verified results. Skipped checks are not scored as passing or archive-ready.

Changes

Verify skipped checks

Layer / File(s) Summary
Verification contract and evidence rules
openspec/specs/opsx-verify-skill/spec.md
The specification defines schema-aware task evidence, unavailable artifact handling, skipped-check reporting, final assessment rules, and advisory verification.
Schema-aware verification inputs
src/commands/workflow/instructions.ts, skills/openspec-verify-change/SKILL.md, src/core/templates/workflows/verify-change.ts
Apply instructions aggregate every file matched by apply.tracks. Verification uses top-level tasks and progress without inferring tasks from contextFiles.
Skipped-check reporting and assessment
skills/openspec-verify-change/SKILL.md, src/core/templates/workflows/verify-change.ts
Scorecards report skipped checks as Not verified with reasons. Final assessments enumerate skipped checks and suppress archive-readiness claims when checks did not run.
Verification validation and release metadata
test/commands/apply-instructions-tasks.test.ts, test/core/templates/verify-change.test.ts, test/core/templates/skill-templates-parity.test.ts, .changeset/verify-report-skipped-dimensions.md
Tests cover task aggregation, missing evidence, no-task selection, skipped-check reporting, and template parity. A patch changeset records the behavior.

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

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 459af

When tracking evidence is unreadable or disappears, verification can fail outright instead of reporting that the dimension was not verified. This prevents the intended safe result and should be addressed before merging.

The main verification hardening is sound, but one custom-schema case still loses actionable task evidence. The fallback only reads contextFiles.tasks. When apply.tracks is a glob owned by an artifact with another ID, top-level tasks is empty and the resolved files live under that artifact ID, so incomplete checkboxes become Not verified instead of CRITICAL issues. Resolve the paths corresponding to apply.tracks without assuming the artifact ID is tasks, and add a non-tasks-ID glob fixture covering an incomplete checkbox.

@alfred-openspec Fixed the custom-schema task-loss issue in 459af39c2.

The underlying apply-instructions producer now resolves every concrete path matched by apply.tracks and parses all matched files before constructing top-level tasks and progress. It no longer depends on the tracked artifact being named tasks, and the verify guidance now consumes that single structured contract instead of falling back to contextFiles.tasks.

Regression coverage uses apply.tracks: "**/tasks.md" on an artifact with ID implementation, with tasks split across backend and frontend files. It proves 3 ordered tasks, 2/3 progress, the incomplete task retained, ready state, and parity with list progress.

Verification:

  • 70 focused tests passed across five files.
  • Build, typecheck, lint, generated-skill parity, strict spec validation, changeset validation, and git diff --check passed.
  • Full suite: 4,241 passed; the four failures reproduce on unchanged main.
  • Independent final review found no remaining blocker in this scope.

The original custom-schema task-loss blocker is fixed on 459af39c2, and the hosted CI/Security matrix is green. One blocker remains in the new producer path.

generateApplyInstructions now reads every concrete apply.tracks match without handling per-file read failures. If one resolved tracking file is unreadable or disappears after resolution, the command rejects instead of returning verification inputs. /opsx:verify therefore cannot mark Task Completion as not verified with an explicit reason, which contradicts this PR's unavailable-evidence contract.

I reproduced this on the exact head with a non-tasks artifact using apply.tracks: "**/tasks.md": after making one of two matched files unreadable, the focused test rejected with EACCES at src/commands/workflow/instructions.ts:423 instead of resolving a non-all_done result.

Please catch read failures per matched file, retain the unavailable path/reason in the returned inputs, ensure the state cannot become all_done, and add the unreadable-file regression. The same handling should cover an ENOENT race after glob resolution.

Ready for re-review at 108c26a. The prior requested-changes case is now covered by regressions for both EACCES and ENOENT after task-glob resolution: partial readable tasks remain visible, unavailable paths and reasons are returned, and the result cannot become all_done. I merged current main, resolved the four conflicts, and regenerated verify skill parity hashes. Five focused files pass (96 tests); build, TypeScript, lint, and strict spec validation pass. The unrestricted full suite stalled here after the same four environment-sensitive failures already noted in the PR, so it is not claimed as green. CI and Security runs on this fork commit show action_required and need maintainer approval. @alfred-openspec could you re-review the resolved blocker? Linked issue: #1951. No merge attempted.

The implementation and regressions now address the prior verification blockers, including partial EACCES/ENOENT evidence, and the focused suite passes on this exact head. One repository requirement remains: update the canonical docs-lab contract for the user-facing behavior added here. apply.tracks now accepts and aggregates glob matches, while docs-lab/reference/schemas/schema-yaml.md still defines it as one relative task-file path. openspec instructions apply --json also adds taskTrackingConfigured and conditional unavailableTrackingFiles, while docs-lab/reference/cli.md inventories the apply JSON fields without them. Please update those two references and request re-review.

@alfred-openspec Addressed the docs-lab blocker on c3bda9e and requested re-review:

  • schema.yaml contract now covers glob matches, aggregated tasks/progress, and unreadable-file states.
  • CLI reference now covers taskTrackingConfigured and conditional unavailableTrackingFiles.

Only those two docs files changed. Build and 59 focused docs/apply tests pass. A broader serial rerun had 4 failures outside this diff (Cursor setup, config-profile discovery, and 2 completion-tip output assertions), so I am leaving hosted CI and review as merge gates. No merge performed.

… the merge

The earlier conflict resolution took our whole side of the parity file,
which discarded the two threshold tests main gained in Fission-AI#1940. Take main's
file verbatim and regenerate the hashes instead.

The canonical docs now cover globbed apply.tracks behavior and the new apply JSON evidence fields, resolving the remaining review blocker. Focused suites pass (58 tests). Approved; the required final Tabish docs-lab review is still needed.
