In an eight-run audit (led by reference session `bd307ed1` at 5h52m wall clock with only 35 minutes of orchestrator work), user waits totaled 839 minutes across 35 Orca cards, full test suites ran 4 to 10 times per review round on identical trees, and late full-branch review rounds spent 76 active minutes mostly re-reporting known issues. + +This spec cuts SDD wall-clock time across five coordinated areas while keeping final branch review strict. All five conditions below hold together: + +1. Every green test run is recorded by its tree identity and command so acceptance checks, wave gates, review pre-passes, and reviewers never re-test identical bytes. +2. Human questions follow a three-tier reversibility protocol: one consolidated preflight card blocks up front, recoverable mid-run questions carry a 10-minute deadline with a recommended default, and review-finding adjudications log to a round digest with asynchronous user veto. +3. Wave checkpoint reviews scale down to `standard` depth, final round 1 runs full `deep` discovery, and final rounds 2 and above run as scoped closure passes with escalation for recurring defect classes. +4. `writing-plans` assigns each test file to a single owning task in a wave and scopes task acceptance commands to owned tests, leaving the full suite to the wave gate. +5. Subagent dispatches pin `high` reasoning effort on implementers, promoters, refuters, and fixers, and use `medium` or `low` only on auxiliary roles. + +## Conceptual model + +Five domain rules govern how work, verification, and human input move through an SDD run. All five rules apply on every run: + +- A tree-test record binds a green test result to `(tree_identity, exact_command)`. For a committed tree (wave gate or git-range review), `tree_identity` is `git rev-parse ^{tree}` with a clean working tree. For an uncommitted component worktree during mid-chain acceptance, `tree_identity` pairs `HEAD^{tree}` with the content digest of `CHAIN_SNAPSHOT_` plus any unstaged changes. Because the orchestrator verifies or records the run against the exact bytes and command string, reusing a green record preserves the rule that a worker's claim never overrides a run. +- A shared review baseline means one `resolve.json` and one `prepass.json` anchor all three concurrent review lenses (`C` correctness, `S` spec, `X` security) in a round, or `prepass` consumes a verified green tree-test record from the wave gate that just passed on the same `HEAD^{tree}` and `artifact_hash`. +- A three-tier human gate separates questions by how reversible the default is: + - Tier 1 (blocking): preflight setup (consolidated into a single card after alias pre-checks) and blocked final handoffs (reaching the 5-round cap with an open `CRITICAL` or `HIGH` finding, or an unrecoverable chain failure with no safe default). + - Tier 2 (10-minute deadline with default): recoverable mid-run choices (`NEEDS_CONTEXT`, mid-wave scope splits, reviewer `kind: "question"` items, and recurring-defect escalations) registered via `orca ask --timeout-ms 600000` with an explicit `default`. The orchestrator keeps running unblocked work while waiting, **never ends a turn while an `orca ask` is open**, and records ` (assumed, timed_out)` if the deadline expires. + - Tier 3 (logged digest with asynchronous veto): review-finding adjudications (accept, dismiss, regrade) execute immediately from `GateResult` and the contract, print as a compact per-round digest table, and treat any later user objection as a follow-up fix task in the next batch. +- A closure round is any final-loop review round after round 1. Round 1 performs full branch discovery over `RUN_BASE..HEAD` at `deep` depth. Rounds 2 through 5 verify whether prior accepted findings are closed (`fixed` vs `still-open`), inspect the fix delta (`LAST_ROUND_HEAD..HEAD`) and its touched contract seams for regressions, and fall back to full-branch discovery only when a fixer modified files outside its assigned component scope. If a defect in the same category and file seam survives or recurs after a fix round, it escalates as a root-cause design task or a Tier 2 question rather than triggering another narrow fixer pass. +- Single-owner test topology means every test file created or modified in a wave belongs to one task's `scope.files` (or one serialized component chain). Each task's `Acceptance` command runs only its owned test files, while Step 7's wave gate runs the full repository build and test suite once. + +## Data flow + +The steps below run in order across a single SDD execution: + +1. At Step 1 (Preflight), the orchestrator checks `git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD`, `git status --porcelain`, and `git rev-parse HEAD`, and runs `pi-watch --check` in a scratch directory across the candidate implementer and reviewer aliases. It then issues one consolidated Tier 1 `orca ask` card covering backend pairing (`IMPLEMENTER` and `REVIEWER_ALIAS`), disposition of any pre-existing dirty or untracked paths, and any environment readiness prompt. The run journal opens in scratch space with an empty `tree_test_cache` map. +2. At Step 3 (Decompose inline via `quirk:writing-plans`), the planner builds the file-coupling map, assigns every touched test file to a single owning task (or a single serialized component chain), and writes literal `Acceptance` commands scoped to each task's owned test files. +3. At Steps 4 through 6 (Wave dispatch and mid-chain gate), the orchestrator dispatches implementers with `effort: "high"` (and Explore/survey helpers at `low` or `medium`). When a task returns, the orchestrator runs the HEAD check and `CHAIN_SNAPSHOT_` scope audit. If the worker's report includes a passing run of the exact literal acceptance command on the current worktree snapshot (or if `tree_test_cache` already holds a green entry for that `(tree_identity, command)`), the orchestrator records or reuses the green entry; otherwise it runs the narrow acceptance command once and caches the green result. +4. At Step 7 (Wave gate), after all components commit and merge into the feature branch, the orchestrator checks `tree_test_cache` for `(HEAD^{tree}, full_suite_cmd)`. On a miss, it runs the project's build and full test suite once and records the green result and elapsed duration. If the suite takes longer than 5 minutes (300 seconds), the orchestrator records a slow-suite advisory in the run journal and final summary recommending `pytest-xdist` (`-n auto`) and Playwright browser-context reuse. If Step 7 fails solely because an unowned test file outside the wave's `scope.files` asserts pre-wave behavior that the wave's contract intentionally replaced, the orchestrator automatically dispatches a scoped wave-gate fixer (`effort: "high"`) with that test file in scope, audits and commits the fix, and re-runs Step 7. +5. At Step 8 (Checkpoint review, for non-final waves), the orchestrator runs `adversarial-review resolve` once (which excludes vendored, generated, and lockfile paths by default and lists them in `excluded_paths[]`) and produces one `prepass.json` by reusing Step 7's green `tree_test_cache` entry via `--reuse-check` (or running `prepass` once and sharing `prepass.json` across all three lenses). It dispatches the `C`, `S`, and `X` lenses concurrently at `--depth standard`, with promoters and refuters pinned to `high` effort and forbidden from running the full test suite when `prepass.status == "pass"`. Refute prompts receive only the diff hunks and surrounding context lines cited by `claims[]` rather than a second copy of the full diff. +6. At Step 9 (Adjudicate and fix), the orchestrator merges the three lenses' `GateResult` payloads, adjudicates findings against the contract without asking a blocking question, records the rulings in the run journal, and prints a compact per-round digest table. Accepted findings are grouped into write-scope components and dispatched to fixers (`effort: "high"`). If the user replies to veto a dismissal or fix, the orchestrator schedules the override as a follow-up fix task in the next batch. +7. At Steps 8 through 10 (Final review loop), round 1 runs across `RUN_BASE..HEAD` at `--depth deep` (with tiebreak arbiters at `medium` effort). If round 1 fixes findings, round 2 (and any subsequent round up to the 5-round cap) runs in closure mode over `LAST_ROUND_HEAD..HEAD` plus prior accepted findings and touched contract seams, reusing the fix batch's green wave-gate test record for `prepass`. If a defect in the same category and seam recurs after a fix round, the orchestrator escalates to a root-cause task or a Tier 2 question (`orca ask --timeout-ms 600000` with a recommended default) instead of dispatching another narrow fixer. The loop exits when a round completes with no accepted finding above `LOW` and a green gate, or **blocks final handoff when the 5-round cap is reached with an open `CRITICAL` or `HIGH` finding**. + +## Key decisions & rationale + +Each decision below resolves one of the trade-offs identified during the wall-clock exploration: + +1. **Deterministic CLI support in `scripts/adversarial-review` beats prose workarounds and a second wrapper binary.** Asking orchestrators in prose to pass `--check-cmd "true"` corrupts the replay manifest (`manifest.prepass.checks` would claim `"true"` ran), and asking them to hand-write git pathspec excludes failed in run `c632d703` (which staged a 7.0 MB diff that was 90% vendored). Conversely, creating a separate `sdd-ctl` wrapper CLI would recreate the fragile helper-script layer earlier SDD versions removed. Giving `prepass` a verified reuse mechanism anchored to `resolve`'s `artifact_hash` and `HEAD^{tree}`, and giving `resolve` built-in default excludes with `excluded_paths[]` reporting, preserves chain integrity in the one script that already owns it. +2. **Three-tier human gates with a 10-minute runtime deadline and logged adjudications cut the largest wait source while keeping irreversible stops safe.** Across 8 historical runs, user waits cost 839 minutes, the recommended option won 88% of the time (38 of 43), and review-finding adjudications cost 448 minutes with 15 of 15 recommendations accepted. A 10-minute timeout (`--timeout-ms 600000`) would have covered 661 of the 839 wait minutes with only 1 miss, whereas a 5-minute timeout would have missed 4. Moving dirty-tree and backend questions into one preflight card handles human-only state up front, while logging adjudications to a round digest eliminates the single largest wait category because a user veto can still queue a follow-up fix task. +3. **Synchronous `standard`-depth wave checkpoints balance speed against cross-wave rework risk.** Across 14 historical checkpoint rounds, `HIGH` findings appeared in only 2 rounds and `CRITICAL` in 0, while the final loop re-examines `RUN_BASE..HEAD` at `deep` depth anyway. Running checkpoints synchronously at `standard` depth (skipping stage-3 tiebreak and sharing the wave gate's green pre-pass) cuts checkpoint latency while preserving the guarantee that wave N+1 never builds on a broken interface. +4. **Closure rounds after final round 1 and recurring-defect escalation stop late-round noise and pseudo-fix loops.** `skills/adversarial-review/SKILL.md` (`## Running rounds`) already specifies that round 1 is discovery and rounds 2+ are closure over prior findings, the fix delta, and touched seams, yet `skills/subagent-driven-development/SKILL.md` currently re-runs full `RUN_BASE..HEAD` discovery on every round. Aligning SDD with closure rounds addresses the 76 active minutes spent in rounds 3+ and matches published evidence that repeated full re-review lowers F1 as false positives accumulate. Escalating recurring defect classes after two failed fixes prevents the 3-to-5-round pseudo-fix cycles seen in `3cbb7331`. +5. **Pinning `high` effort on core roles and `medium`/`low` on auxiliary roles protects recall and test integrity.** Controlled trials on wave 2 of the reference run showed that dropping promoters to `medium` cut model time from 16.8 to 5.8 agent-minutes only by taking a third as many turns, which missed a blocking `MEDIUM` finding (`C1` sidenote overlap) and downgraded two others to `LOW`. Dropping refuters and fixers to `medium` saved under 1 minute of model time per agent while the `medium` layout fixer lifted a CSS prose cap and weakened an existing test selector to pass (failing 2 cross-check tests). + +## Behavior & scenarios + +### Tree-once caching and review staging hygiene + +1. **SC-1: Wave gate seeds the pre-pass for all three review lenses** + - **Given** Wave 2 has merged at commit `9628c57` with tree `4b825dc`, clean `git status --porcelain`, and Step 7's full test command `python3 -m pytest -q` exited 0 in 462s + - **When** Step 8 stages the checkpoint review across the `C`, `S`, and `X` lenses for `WAVE_BASE..HEAD` (artifact hash `8f00d1`) + - **Then** the orchestrator runs `adversarial-review resolve` once and `adversarial-review prepass` once reusing the Step 7 green record for `(4b825dc, "python3 -m pytest -q")`, and all three lenses consume that shared `resolve.json` and `prepass.json` without re-executing `pytest` + - **Data before:** **Run journal**: `tree_test_cache` holds `(tree: 4b825dc, clean: true, cmd: "python3 -m pytest -q") -> exit 0, duration 462s`; **Pre-pass result**: none + - **Walkthrough:** + 1.

The orchestrator decides with the gate's verdict and records each decision in the run journal.

They verify each prior finding against the current code, and they review only the fix delta with surrounding context.

The loop exits when no HIGH survives refutation, and LOW and MEDIUM findings go to a log. +*why this might actually work:* Outside one outlier run, HIGH blockers appeared in 1 of 11 rounds after final round 1.

Instead of another fixer and another round, the defect goes to a root-cause task with design-level scope, or to the human. +*why this might actually work:* In 4 runs a defect class recurred across 3 to 5 rounds (q-compare overflow, quadratic regexes, invented values, a read-only tab). The literature describes the same pattern as pseudo-fix cycles, with fixer damage outrunning repair. +*addressable:* most of `3cbb7331`'s 44 active minutes in rounds 3 to 6, plus repeat rounds elsewhere. +*surfaced by:* contrarian inversion (a recurring finding is a planning signal, not a review signal) · *sits at intensity:* Exploratory + +### Direction: checkpoint review off the critical path +Once wave N passes its gate, wave N+1 starts building on that tree while wave N's checkpoint review runs in the background. Its findings join the next fix batch instead of blocking the wave. +*why this might actually work:* The skill itself says the final loop "re-examines everything anyway" (`SKILL.md:510-511`). Merge queues (GitHub, Uber SubmitQueue) already test speculatively on top of unmerged work and only discard on failure. +*addressable:* checkpoint rounds took 90 min in the reference run, about 55 in `569f4f36`, 46 in `c632d703` and 35 in `cdaba84f`. Overlap would recover most of that wall clock, minus rebase and rework cost. +*surfaced by:* analogical transfer (speculative merge queues) · *sits at intensity:* Bold + +### Direction: size review by stage +Checkpoints run lighter: `standard` depth, or one merged lens with the three concerns in a single prompt. The final loop keeps three lenses at `deep`. +*why this might actually work:* Checkpoints produced a HIGH in 2 of 14. Lenses overlap heavily (13 raw findings collapsed to 5 in one round), and correlated reviewers add little beyond the second. The skill already leaves cheaper checkpoints as an open question. +*addressable:* a share of the same checkpoint minutes as the previous direction, with no change to scheduling. +*surfaced by:* SCAMPER (eliminate and combine) · *sits at intensity:* Grounded + +### Direction: plan-time test topology +At decomposition, the planner names which tests each task owns, gives every shared test file exactly one owner, and scopes each task's acceptance to its own tests. The full suite runs only at the gate. +*why this might actually work:* Out-of-scope test files blocked tasks in 3 of 8 runs. In the reference run, that block caused the re-plan question that sat for 128 minutes. Claude Code's own guidance prefers single tests over the whole suite. +*addressable:* the reference run's 128-minute stall (shared with "questions with a deadline"), plus narrower acceptance runs in every task. +*surfaced by:* first-principles · *sits at intensity:* Grounded + +### Direction: faster suites in target repos +In repos where tests are slow: +- run pytest-xdist +- share one Chromium per worker with a fresh context per test +- cap concurrent suite runs machine-wide with a lock, so parallel agents don't starve each other + +Quirk can only nudge here, for example by having the preflight or a planning note flag a suite over 5 minutes. +*why this might actually work:* Suites over 5 minutes drove about 40% of machine time in the runs where they existed. Playwright treats contexts as cheap and isolated compared with launches. Contention already caused timeouts. +*addressable:* about 175 machine-minutes of tests in the reference run, and 121 and 149 test minutes in the two other heavy-test runs. +*surfaced by:* research · *sits at intensity:* Grounded + +### Direction: diff hygiene in the review script +The script excludes vendored, generated and lockfile paths by default and lists them by `--stat`, so every orchestrator stops hand-rolling excludes. Refute and tiebreak prompts could reference findings and line ranges rather than re-inlining the full artifact. +*why this might actually work:* One range diff was 7.0 MB and 90% vendored, and an 818 KB first attempt was discarded and re-staged. Each orchestrator reinvented its own excludes. +*addressable:* hard to measure. Re-staging rework was about 8 to 17 min in `c632d703`, and smaller prompts mean faster reviewer turns. +*surfaced by:* radical simplification · *sits at intensity:* Grounded + +### Direction: effort and model by role +Set reasoning effort per role: medium for refuters, fixers, surveys and tiebreak arbiters, and high for implementers and promoters. Make the tiebreak cross-family wherever one is reachable. +*why this might actually work:* Model time was 43% of subagent time, and every subagent inherited high effort. In the verification studies found, higher effort or bigger models bought a few accuracy points at many times the cost. +*addressable:* small for the roles it targets. In the reference run, promoters took 50% of subagent model time (70 min) and implementers 33% (46 min). Refuters, fixers, surveys and tiebreaks together took 16% (23 min), and most of that was off the critical path. Promoters averaged 8.5 s per turn and implementers 10.7 s, against about 5 s for refuters and fixers. Part of each turn is reading the large prompt, which effort doesn't change. The transcripts redact thinking, so the share effort could cut is unknown. +*measured on promoters (one commit, one run per arm):* the reference run's wave 2 promote prompts were rerun on Sonnet at medium and again at high, against a clone of the reviewed commit (`9628c57`). Medium cut model time from 16.8 to 5.8 agent-minutes and the slowest lens from about 6 to 3 minutes of model time. Seconds per turn barely moved (7 to 13 at both levels). The saving came from medium taking 9 to 14 turns per lens against 26 to 52, so medium investigates less, not faster. It raised 5 distinct issues against 7 at high and 10 in the original high run. Five issues turned up in both high runs. Medium found 4 of them and missed the longform sidenote overlap, which the original run gated as a blocking MEDIUM. Medium also graded the other two blocking MEDIUMs (the unscoped 70ch cap and the last-section nav highlight) as LOW. The two high runs shared only 5 of their 12 issues, so run-to-run noise is about as large as the effort effect. +*measured on refuters and fixers (same setup):* the three wave 2 refuters at medium and high took 1.6 and 3.0 agent-minutes of model time, against 2.3 originally, and none ran longer than 2 minutes wall. On the 10 findings, all real, medium and high gave the same disposition every time. Where either differed from the original run (C4 standing rather than contested, X2 graded LOW rather than MEDIUM), they differed the same way, so the cause is noise, not effort. Medium reproduced less. It called X2 "a known scrollspy limit" where high rebuilt the page and scrolled it. No refuter in the reference run ever refuted anything, so this doesn't test whether medium lets a fabricated finding through. Fixers spent 0.4 to 2.4 minutes of model time and 18 to 22 minutes in tool calls, most of it test runs. For the one-finding create.py fix, both levels were correct, and each new test failed on the unfixed code. For the eight-finding layout fix, both passed their own acceptance run. High's fix also passed medium's test file and the original run's (`e0587b3`). Medium's failed 2 tests in both. It lifted the 70ch cap inside longform and rewrote the existing prose-cap test to check only unclassed paragraphs, so small-type paragraphs now run past 70ch. +*surfaced by:* research · *sits at intensity:* Grounded + +## Tensions & trade-offs + +- The tree-once record pulls against the rule that the orchestrator verifies by running. That rule exists because a captain and the orchestrator once used different grep flags and got different answers. Reusing a result is only as sound as the key, and environment variables, time, external services and built JS bundles aren't in a tree hash. +- Defaults on timeout pull toward throughput. The 4 of 5 wrong recommendations pull toward asking, because each was about something only the human could see. Both are true, so the open question is which questions belong at preflight. +- Logging adjudications assumes the 15 of 15 acceptance rate means the recommendations were right. It may instead mean the human was rubber-stamping, which the autonomy literature calls "meaningless approvals". Removing the question would hide the difference. +- Closure rounds and stage-sized review both say late or early review adds little. The outlier run `3cbb7331` used codex reviewers at full independence and kept finding real HIGHs through round 6. That suggests "late rounds rarely find much" may partly reflect same-family reviewers missing things. +- Moving checkpoint review off the critical path saves the most wall clock, but it removes the checkpoint's stated purpose: not building wave N+1 on a defect. Stage-sized review keeps that purpose and saves less. +- Repo-level test speed is where the biggest machine-time savings sit, but quirk doesn't own target repos, so its lever there is indirect. +- Lower effort on promoters buys real speed, about 3x less model time, by cutting investigation depth. That is the same thing recall depends on, and in the one trial it dropped a blocking finding that both high runs caught. For refuters and fixers the speed side is close to nothing, under a minute of model time each, because they are short or test-bound. The quality side wasn't free either: one of two medium fixes weakened an existing test to pass. + +## Challenge notes + +- **Test each tree once.** + - Steelman: identical bytes and an identical command give an identical result, so a rerun only buys flake detection. + - Strongest counter: the suites aren't hermetic.

For `target_kind == "git-range"`, `record["clean_tree"]` must be `True` and `git status --porcelain --untracked-files=no` in `repo_root` must be empty (tracked files clean, so untracked test artifacts like `Cargo.lock` or `.pytest_cache` do not invalidate a committed-range check).

If `resolved.get("excluded_paths")` is non-empty, it prepends a comment header `# Excluded by default diff hygiene: `. + - `build_claims` adds `"diff_excerpts": extract_diff_excerpts(judged, resolved, repo_root)` and `"excluded_paths": resolved.get("excluded_paths", [])` to `claims.json`. + - `run_gate` adds `"excluded_paths": (resolved.get("excluded_paths", []) if isinstance(resolved, dict) else [])` to `gate.json`, and when `contested` is non-empty and `isinstance(resolved, dict)`, adds `"contested_excerpts": extract_diff_excerpts(contested, resolved, repo_root)` to `gate.json`. + - In `assets/refute-prompt.md` (`:3, :76`) and `assets/tiebreak-prompt.md` (`:3, :63`), the placeholder name remains `{{ARTIFACT}}`, and the staging instructions specify substituting `claims.json`'s `.diff_excerpts` into `{{ARTIFACT}}` for refute and `gate.json`'s `.contested_excerpts` into `{{ARTIFACT}}` for tiebreak (with full files accessible via `read`). +- **Invariants**: `CLAIM_FIELDS` is unchanged; `merge_judgments` and `run_gate` continue to validate chains identically. +- **Errors**: Unreadable or malformed `resolve` or `findings` JSON raises `UsageError` (exit 2). + +`CONTRACT:` +```python +def extract_diff_excerpts( + findings: list[dict[str, Any]], + resolved: dict[str, Any] | None, + repo_root: Path, +) -> str: ... # new function +def build_claims( + findings_path: str, resolve_path: str, id_prefix: str = "F", + repo_root: Path = Path("."), +) -> dict[str, Any]: ... +``` + +### 4. Protocol Contracts Across `subagent-driven-development`, `adversarial-review`, and `writing-plans` + +- **Preconditions**: SDD is invoked on a feature branch with an approved spec, or `adversarial-review` / `writing-plans` is invoked standalone or in-context. +- **Postconditions**: + 1. **Consolidated 1-card preflight (`skills/subagent-driven-development/SKILL.md:83-134`)**: + - Preflight runs `git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD`, `git status --porcelain`, and `pi-watch --check ` in a temporary scratch directory across all 6 aliases (`codex, gemini, terra, opus, sonnet, flash`) before prompting the user. + - Because `orca ask` specs are flat (non-branching), preflight encodes backend selection as a single `backend_pairing` question whose options are pre-verified `(IMPLEMENTER, REVIEWER_ALIAS)` pairs, ordered with cross-family full-independence pairs first (`claude-task + codex (Recommended)`, `claude-task + gemini`, `claude-task + terra`, `pi-codex + opus`, `pi-codex + gemini`) followed by same-family pairs labeled `(reduced independence)`. + - If `git status --porcelain` is non-empty, the same preflight card includes `dirty_tree_action` with three options: `stash_untracked` (`git stash push --include-untracked` before recording `RUN_BASE`), `commit_existing` (commit the pre-existing changes on the branch before recording `RUN_BASE`), or `abort` (stop the run). If `stash_untracked` or `commit_existing` is chosen, the orchestrator executes it and re-verifies `git status --porcelain` is empty before recording `RUN_BASE`. The Never rule (`:739`) is updated to: *"Never start wave dispatch on a dirty tree; resolve dirty state at preflight before recording `RUN_BASE`."* + - If `discover_code_checks` finds no runnable test runner or a preflight environment probe fails, the same preflight card includes `env_readiness` asking how to run checks or abort. + 2. **Three-tier human gate & `orca ask` status handling (`skills/subagent-driven-development/SKILL.md` Steps 1, 7, 8, 9, 10, Failure routing)**: + - **Tool selection**: Use `orca ask` when running inside an Orca session (`ORCA_PANE_KEY` or `ORCA_WORKSPACE_ID` set). If `orca ask` returns `status: "unavailable"` or the `orca` CLI is not installed, fall back to `AskUserQuestion`. + - **Tier 1 (blocking, no `--timeout-ms`)**: Consolidated preflight card, and Step 10 blocked handoff when the 5-round cap is reached with an open `CRITICAL` or `HIGH` finding or when a component chain fails twice with no safe default. On `status: "declined"` for a Tier 1 card, stop the run cleanly without re-asking. On `status: "partial"`, re-ask the skipped required question once. + - **Tier 2 (10-minute deadline, `orca ask --timeout-ms 600000` with explicit recommended `default`)**: Used for: + - `NEEDS_CONTEXT` not derivable from the spec or codebase, + - Mid-wave scope-violation re-planning splits, + - Wave-gate test failures that expose a contract conflict rather than a stale pre-wave test assertion, + - Reviewer `kind: "question"` items from `GateResult.questions[]`, + - Recurring-defect escalations after two failed fixer rounds in the same category and seam. + While a Tier 2 card is open, the orchestrator continues advancing unblocked components and polls `orca ask wait` across chunks without ever ending its turn. On `status: "timed_out"`, `status: "partial"` (question in `skipped[]`), or `status: "declined"`, the orchestrator resolves the question to its declared recommended `default` and records `: (assumed, )` in the run journal. + - **Tier 3 (logged adjudication digest, 0 wait)**: Step 9 adjudicates findings immediately against the contract and `GateResult`, records rulings in the run journal, prints a compact per-round table (`ID | Lens | Effective Severity | Ruling | One-line Reason`), and dispatches fixers immediately without asking. If the user sends a message vetoing a dismissal, regrade, or fix at any point, the orchestrator queues a follow-up fix task into the next batch without aborting in-flight workers. + 3. **Orchestrator-verified `tree_test_cache` and Step 7 → Step 8 reuse (`skills/subagent-driven-development/SKILL.md` Steps 6, 7, 8)**: + - Define `worktree_tree_identity(WT, WAVE_BASE)` as `(git -C "$WT" rev-parse HEAD^{tree}, sha256(canonical_json(CHAIN_SNAPSHOT_AFTER)))`, where `CHAIN_SNAPSHOT_AFTER` is the recomputed `(mode, blob)` map Step 6 builds after the task returns (`:382`). For a clean committed tree (Step 7 wave gate), `tree_identity` is `(git rev-parse HEAD^{tree}, "clean")`. + - `tree_test_cache` in the run journal is populated **only** by commands the orchestrator itself executed (or `adversarial-review prepass`), never from a worker's text claim alone, preserving `"a claim never overrides a run"` (`:672`, `:734`). + - At Step 6, the orchestrator checks `tree_test_cache` for `(worktree_tree_identity, acceptance_cmd)`. On a miss, it runs the task's narrow acceptance command once and stores the result; on a hit (for example, re-evaluating an unchanged tree), it reuses the green entry. + - At Step 7, the orchestrator checks `tree_test_cache` for `((HEAD^{tree}, "clean"), full_suite_cmd)`. On a miss, it runs the full build and test suite once, stores the result in `tree_test_cache`, and writes `$WORK/gate-check.json` in `ReusedCheckInput` format. + - At Step 8, the orchestrator runs `adversarial-review resolve` once and `adversarial-review prepass` once passing `--check-cmd "$FULL_SUITE_CMD" --reuse-check "$WORK/gate-check.json"`. If `prepass --reuse-check` exits 2 (for example, because a non-ignored file dirtied tracked state), the orchestrator logs the reuse miss and immediately re-runs `prepass` without `--reuse-check`. All three lenses (`C`, `S`, `X`) share that single `resolve.json` and `prepass.json`. + 4. **Slow-suite advisory (`>300s`) and auto-dispatched wave-gate test fixer (`skills/subagent-driven-development/SKILL.md` Steps 7, 8)**: + - Whenever Step 7's full-suite run or Step 8's `prepass` (`checks[].duration_ms > 300000`) exceeds 300 seconds (5 minutes), the orchestrator records a slow-suite advisory in the run journal and final summary recommending `pytest-xdist` (`-n auto`) and Playwright `BrowserContext` reuse per worker, without modifying target-repo config mid-run. + - If Step 7 fails solely because an unowned test file outside the wave's `scope.files` asserts pre-wave behavior that the wave's contract intentionally replaced, the orchestrator automatically dispatches a scoped wave-gate fixer (`effort: "high"`) with that test file in `scope.files`, runs Step 6's audit/commit gate on the fixer, and re-runs Step 7. If the failure instead reveals a contract conflict, the orchestrator raises a Tier 2 `orca ask` (`--timeout-ms 600000`). + 5. **Stage-sized checkpoints, closure rounds 2–5, and recurring-defect escalation (`skills/subagent-driven-development/SKILL.md` Steps 8–10, `skills/adversarial-review/SKILL.md`, `profiles/code-diff.md`, `assets/promote-prompt.md`, `assets/composition-contract.md`)**: + - Non-final wave checkpoints pass `--depth standard` to all three lenses. Final Round 1 passes `--depth deep` over `RUN_BASE..HEAD`. + - At the start of each final review round `r`, the orchestrator records `ROUND__HEAD` (with `LAST_ROUND_HEAD = ROUND__HEAD` for `r >= 2`) in the run journal. + - For Final Rounds `r >= 2`, if every fixer in round `r-1` stayed within its declared component `scope.files`, Step 8 runs in **closure mode**: + - `target` is `"$LAST_ROUND_HEAD..HEAD"`. + - `criteria` includes a `### Closure Round Verification` section listing: (a) the prior round's accepted findings (`id`, `severity`, `category`, `claim`, `evidence[].ref`) and (b) the touched contract seams (`scope.files` of the round `r-1` fix batch). Prior accepted findings are **never** placed in `dismissed[]` (which is reserved for rejected/dismissed findings). + - `profiles/code-diff.md` and `assets/promote-prompt.md` state that in a closure round, the reviewer: (1) checks each listed prior accepted finding against the current working tree via `read` — omitting it if fixed, or re-reporting it with its **original `id`** (e.g. `"id": "C1"`) if still open; and (2) reviews `$LAST_ROUND_HEAD..HEAD` and its touched contract seams for regressions (`"id": null`). Files cited by prior accepted findings are in scope to verify closure even if untouched by the fix delta. + - If any fixer in round `r-1` modified files outside its declared component scope (or required a wave re-plan), round `r` falls back to full discovery over `RUN_BASE..HEAD`. + - **Recurring-defect escalation**: If a standing finding in round `r >= 3` shares both `category` and target file/contract seam with an accepted finding from rounds `r-2` and `r-1` (meaning two consecutive fixer attempts failed to close that defect class on that seam), Step 9 stops dispatching narrow fixers for it and escalates via a root-cause design task or a Tier 2 `orca ask` (`--timeout-ms 600000`, default = dispatch a widened root-cause redesign task covering the full module seam). + 6. **Single-owner test topology, narrow reproductions, and role effort pins (`skills/writing-plans/SKILL.md`, `skills/adversarial-review/`, `skills/subagent-driven-development/`)**: + - `skills/writing-plans/SKILL.md` (`## File Structure`, `## Task Independence`, `## Task Structure`, `## Self-Review`) requires every test file created or modified in a wave to belong to a single owning task (or a single serialized component chain), and requires each task's `Acceptance` command to run only its owned test files (reserving the full suite for Step 7's wave gate). `implementer-prompt.md:53-61` and `fixer-prompt.md:41-47` instruct workers to run their exact `{{ACCEPTANCE}}` command and never run the full repository suite when `{{ACCEPTANCE}}` is scoped to specific test files. + - `skills/writing-plans/SKILL.md:302-304` notes that standalone `writing-plans` and `quirk:executing-plans` run `plan-document-reviewer-prompt.md`, while `quirk:subagent-driven-development` skips it in favor of branch-level adversarial review. + - `profiles/code-diff.md`, `promote-prompt.md`, and `refute-prompt.md` forbid running the full test suite when `prepass.status == "pass"`; reproductions must run the narrowest single test file, test function (`-k`), or command that demonstrates the defect. + - Role effort is pinned by stage: `STAGE_EFFORT = {"implementer": "high", "promote": "high", "refute": "high", "fixer": "high", "tiebreak": "medium", "explore": "low"}`.

At Step 1 (Preflight), the orchestrator checks `git rev-parse --abbrev-ref HEAD`, `git status --porcelain`, and `git rev-parse HEAD`, and runs `pi-watch --check` in a scratch directory across the candidate implementer and reviewer aliases. It then issues one consolidated Tier 1 `orca ask` card covering backend pairing (`IMPLEMENTER` and `REVIEWER_ALIAS`), disposition of any pre-existing dirty or untracked paths, and any environment readiness prompt. The run journal opens in scratch space with an empty `tree_test_cache` map. 2. At Step 3 (Decompose inline via `quirk:writing-plans`), the planner builds the file-coupling map, assigns every touched test file to a single owning task (or a single serialized component chain), and writes literal `Acceptance` commands scoped to each task's owned test files. -3. At Steps 4 through 6 (Wave dispatch and mid-chain gate), the orchestrator dispatches implementers with `effort: "high"` (and Explore/survey helpers at `low` or `medium`). When a task returns, the orchestrator runs the HEAD check and `CHAIN_SNAPSHOT_` scope audit. If the worker's report includes a passing run of the exact literal acceptance command on the current worktree snapshot (or if `tree_test_cache` already holds a green entry for that `(tree_identity, command)`), the orchestrator records or reuses the green entry; otherwise it runs the narrow acceptance command once and caches the green result. +3. At Steps 4 through 6 (Wave dispatch and mid-chain gate), the orchestrator dispatches implementers with `effort: "high"` (and Explore/survey helpers at `low` or `medium`). When a task returns, the orchestrator runs the HEAD check and `CHAIN_SNAPSHOT_` scope audit. If `tree_test_cache` already holds a green orchestrator-verified entry for that `(tree_identity, command)`, the orchestrator reuses it; otherwise it runs the narrow acceptance command once and caches the green result (a worker's text claim alone never populates `tree_test_cache`). 4. At Step 7 (Wave gate), after all components commit and merge into the feature branch, the orchestrator checks `tree_test_cache` for `(HEAD^{tree}, full_suite_cmd)`. On a miss, it runs the project's build and full test suite once and records the green result and elapsed duration. If the suite takes longer than 5 minutes (300 seconds), the orchestrator records a slow-suite advisory in the run journal and final summary recommending `pytest-xdist` (`-n auto`) and Playwright browser-context reuse. If Step 7 fails solely because an unowned test file outside the wave's `scope.files` asserts pre-wave behavior that the wave's contract intentionally replaced, the orchestrator automatically dispatches a scoped wave-gate fixer (`effort: "high"`) with that test file in scope, audits and commits the fix, and re-runs Step 7. 5. At Step 8 (Checkpoint review, for non-final waves), the orchestrator runs `adversarial-review resolve` once (which excludes vendored, generated, and lockfile paths by default and lists them in `excluded_paths[]`) and produces one `prepass.json` by reusing Step 7's green `tree_test_cache` entry via `--reuse-check` (or running `prepass` once and sharing `prepass.json` across all three lenses). It dispatches the `C`, `S`, and `X` lenses concurrently at `--depth standard`, with promoters and refuters pinned to `high` effort and forbidden from running the full test suite when `prepass.status == "pass"`. Refute prompts receive only the diff hunks and surrounding context lines cited by `claims[]` rather than a second copy of the full diff. 6. At Step 9 (Adjudicate and fix), the orchestrator merges the three lenses' `GateResult` payloads, adjudicates findings against the contract without asking a blocking question, records the rulings in the run journal, and prints a compact per-round digest table. Accepted findings are grouped into write-scope components and dispatched to fixers (`effort: "high"`). If the user replies to veto a dismissal or fix, the orchestrator schedules the override as a follow-up fix task in the next batch. diff --git a/docs/quirk/specs/2026-10-16-sdd-wall-clock-optimization/tech.md b/docs/quirk/specs/2026-10-16-sdd-wall-clock-optimization/tech.md index a45ead9b..d89c457c 100644 --- a/docs/quirk/specs/2026-10-16-sdd-wall-clock-optimization/tech.md +++ b/docs/quirk/specs/2026-10-16-sdd-wall-clock-optimization/tech.md @@ -6,16 +6,16 @@ Back-links: [logic.md#purpose](logic.md#purpose), [logic.md#conceptual-model](logic.md#conceptual-model), [logic.md#data-flow](logic.md#data-flow), [logic.md#key-decisions--rationale](logic.md#key-decisions--rationale) -The implementation spans one deterministic Python CLI (`skills/adversarial-review/scripts/adversarial-review`, Python 3.9+ standard library only) and three markdown skill definitions (`skills/adversarial-review/`, `skills/subagent-driven-development/`, and `skills/writing-plans/`), validated by pytest suites in `tests/test_adversarial_review.py` (276 existing tests) and `tests/test_adversarial_review_skill.py` (48 existing tests). +The implementation spans one deterministic Python CLI (`skills/adversarial-review/scripts/adversarial-review`, Python 3.9+ standard library only) and three markdown skill definitions (`skills/adversarial-review/`, `skills/subagent-driven-development/`, and `skills/writing-plans/`), validated by pytest suites in `tests/test_adversarial_review.py` (276 existing tests) and `tests/test_adversarial_review_skill.py` (79 existing tests). 1. **Deterministic review CLI (`skills/adversarial-review/scripts/adversarial-review`)**: - - **Default diff hygiene (`resolve_target`, `read_diff`, `untracked_paths`, `untracked_diff`, `artifact_hash_of`, `unreviewed_since_capture`, `verify_artifact_is_current`, `run_gate`, `build_manifest`)**: Filters out vendored, generated, and lockfile paths by default using `DEFAULT_EXCLUDE_DIRS` and `DEFAULT_EXCLUDE_PATTERNS` via `is_excluded_path` (new function), unless `--include-all` is passed to `resolve`.
