docs(openspec): propose reporting requirements two active changes both claim - #1963
ryandemelo wants to merge 2 commits into
Conversation
…h claim A change proposal for the behavior Fission-AI#1698 implements, written after the fact because that PR opened before CONTRIBUTING.md asked for proposals ahead of feature code. Bulk validate would report each requirement that two or more active changes claim, with the operation each applies and whether the main spec holds it today. It is advisory only and never moves the exit code. The design records why it reports claims without ranking them: a ranking needs the applicability rules in specs-apply.ts, and a second copy of those rules disagreed with archive when tested.

@coderabbitai right, the design said one thing and the spec another. Fixed in 7fd1a5f to match what #1698 does: an unreadable change or main spec only removes itself and the remaining overlaps are still reported, while any other error inside the scan empties the report for that run. |
An unreadable change or main spec only removes itself from the scan, and overlaps among the remaining changes are still reported. Any other error empties the report for that run. The design, spec and tasks now say the same thing, matching Fission-AI#1698.

Specify the other scan-failure cases.
This scenario covers unreadable delta files only. The stated scan contract also excludes an unreadable main spec while retaining overlaps from other readable inputs, but clears the run’s overlap report for other scan errors. Add scenarios for both cases so implementations apply the intended behavior consistently.

Refs #1669. This is the change proposal for #1698.
#1698 opened before CONTRIBUTING.md asked for a proposal ahead of feature code, and it has sat in design review since. This PR adds only
openspec/changes/report-cross-change-overlap/, so the design can be settled here on its own. If it is approved, #1698 already implements it as written and is kept rebased onmain.The problem
Every check in
validateandarchivecompares one change against the main specs as they are today. Two active changes editing the same requirement both pass, and the collision only appears when the first one archives and the second starts failing. The scenario loss guard already stops that from losing data. What is left is timing: the refusal lands late, on the author who did nothing wrong, after their work is done.The proposal
Bulk
validatewith changes in scope lists each requirement that more than one active change claims, with the operation each change applies and whether the main spec holds that requirement today. JSON gets anoverlapsarray. It is advisory: no new flag, no exit code change, nothing printed when nothing overlaps.What I would most like reviewed
Decision 1 in
design.md. The report states claims and stops short of a verdict. Ranking overlaps ("these two cannot both archive") means copying the applicability rules inspecs-apply.ts, and when I built that copy and tested it against real archive runs it disagreed with archive, once recommending the order that actually fails. So ranking waits for a single check thatarchiveandvalidateboth call, which is the same gap #1112 hits from the other side.Related work
The
add-validation-findings-reportdesign says a future top level field such asoverlapsneeds an explicit contract decision before it is added. This proposal is meant to be that decision, and it leaves the findings document untouched. The openadd-change-stacking-awarenesschange plans overlap warnings from atouchesfield authors fill in by hand. This one reads the claims straight from the deltas, so the two fit together rather than compete. It also takes the list of active changes as an input, so a move to status metadata (#1683, #1813) changes one call site.openspec validate report-cross-change-overlap --strictpasses.Summary by CodeRabbit
