- Annotate existing command_registry_has_unique_names_and_aliases test with AT-008 doc comment referencing EPIC acceptance criteria - Add new command_ownership_contract_is_enforced test (AT-009): - Validates at least 9 command groups - Each group has at least one command - Every command has valid CommandInfo metadata - Total command count matches registry - Documents config/debug group-local metadata as permanent exceptions - Run cargo fmt to satisfy formatting hygiene
…t_is_enforced REQUIRED (test-coverage): The AT-009 ownership contract test was too loose: - Used instead of exact for group count - Counted config/debug commands by name across ALL groups instead of verifying them within their specific groups (via content identity matching on first command) - Circular comparison against command_infos() from same source (demoted to consistency check) Fix: exact 9-group assertion, config/debug located by their command content, per-group count verified within the identified group, circular check retained as secondary consistency guard. All 60 command tests pass (cargo test commands::tests -- --test-threads=1).
cargo fmt --all -- --check flagged two assert! calls with long string arguments in command_ownership_contract_is_enforced. They were on single lines and rustfmt wraps them to multi-line format. No behavioral changes.
The Built-In Command Groups table listed 8 groups but the live source registers 9 (including plugins::PluginsCommands). Added the /plugins entry and removed the stale 'plugins' mention from utility scope. Found during FEAT-008 Phase 4 documentation verification (Task 6).
The architecture doc only listed /jihua and /zidong as legacy/permanent aliases, but live dispatch (commands/mod.rs:157-168) also has /slop and /canzha dispatching directly to /debt in the same pre-registry match block. - Updated dispatch flow Step 2 to list all four permanent aliases. - Updated Permanent Exceptions first row to include all four aliases. Refs: FEAT-008 Phase 4 code review finding #1
The plugins row claimed 'list, install, and configure tools' but live source only supports plugin discovery/listing and per-plugin metadata detail display. No install/configure command behavior exists. Discovered by FEAT-008 Phase 4 code review. Refs: FEAT-008
F1: Remap command_surfaces acceptance test as eval smoke test. Stop counting it as AT-004 command-surface evidence — rename feature/scenario/step text from 'command surface acceptance' to 'eval smoke test' and update runner doc comments. F2: Rewrite public docs with draft/Phase 6 in-progress status. command-dispatch.md: EPIC-002 Completion Status → Draft — Phase 6 In Progress with neutral table status. pr-issue-evidence-prep.md: Add draft header, replace ✅ with ⬜ neutral placeholders, mark all evidence as draft Phase 6. F3: Update FeatureTasks.md status line to include Phase 6 AWAITING_REVIEW state with code review NEEDS_CHANGES note. Also update phase-6-integration.md AT-004 row and planning-analysis-report.md to remove command_surfaces from AT-004 evidence, adjust count from 40 to 39.
… neutral draft wording F1 [REQUIRED/test-coverage]: Rename command_surfaces.feature and command_surfaces_acceptance.rs to eval_smoke.feature and eval_smoke_acceptance.rs to stop implying AT-004 command-surface coverage. Update world struct name, file path constant, and feature file header to match. Feature file now includes disclaimer that this is not AT-004 evidence. F2 [REQUIRED/docs-status]: command-dispatch.md evidence items use '— draft' instead of '— pass'. pr-issue-evidence-prep.md result cells use '⬜ Draft (Phase 6 current evidence)' instead of '⬜ Pass (draft Phase 6 evidence)'. F3 [REQUIRED/docs-status]: FeatureTasks.md status line updated from 'Phase 6 COMPLETED' to 'Phase 6 NEEDS_CHANGES' reflecting latest code review. Review Finding Decision Ledger recorded in phase-6-integration.md.
…_smoke_acceptance in pr-issue-evidence-prep.md Code review REQUIRED finding F1: The public validation list still referenced the deleted command_surfaces_acceptance target. Replaced with the current eval_smoke_acceptance test and noted it is eval smoke, not AT-004 command-surface evidence. Ref: FEAT-008 Phase 6 code review 2026-06-27T14:09:26.829Z
…. to FEAT-008 draft Phase 7 code review (F1) found the FEAT-008 PR Summary Draft did not follow the required PR Hmbown#3652 pattern: it jumped directly from the heading to ## Summary without the PR title or Refs Hmbown#2870. opening line. Added the title line (Layer 4.4: Registry cleanup, docs, and full validation (FEAT-008)) as a reference outside the markdown fence, and Refs Hmbown#2870. as the first line of the PR body markdown. This is a code-review recovery fix for FEAT-008 Phase 7.
…nce command-dispatch.md to Phase 7 - eval_smoke_acceptance.rs: collapse multi-line string constant to single line (cargo fmt fix) - command-dispatch.md: advance EPIC-002 status from Phase 6 to Phase 7, replace detailed Phase 6 evidence list with concise 'Current Evidence' summary
…ts_successfully step The eval harness (run_eval in main.rs:1393) exits with code 1 when metrics.success is false. This is expected: the offline multi-step scenario (List, Read, Search, Edit, ApplyPatch, ExecShell) may report overall failure while individual steps succeed. The ExecShell step itself succeeds (verified by json_report_contains_execution_steps). Changes: - Store output.status in EvalSmokeWorld - binary_exits_successfully now verifies: no crash (no signal on Unix), known exit code (0 or 1), documented eval-harness exit semantics - json_report_contains_execution_steps continues to verify step-level success (ExecShell step succeeds with expected output) F1 recovery: code review 2026-06-27T15:27:10 required exit status assertion. Applied FIXED_WITH_NUANCE: stronger than blind status.success() which would falsely fail — checks crash safety + known codes + step success.
…ary exits without crashing' The eval harness exits with code 1 when metrics.success is false (expected offline multi-step evaluation behavior). The step name claimed 'successfully' but the assertion accepts exit code 0 or 1. Renamed step to match what is actually verified: no crash (no signal on Unix), known exit code (0 or 1), step-level success validated by the next step. Addresses code review 2026-06-27T15:38:36 F1.
…ot Phase 7) awaiting approval F3-recovery-2: Reverted Phase 7 wording to 'Phase 6; awaiting code review approval for Phase 7' in command-dispatch.md and pr-issue-evidence-prep.md.
…oke_acceptance.rs The cfg!() macro does not conditionally compile its block, so use of std::os::unix::process::ExitStatusExt inside an if cfg!(unix) failed to compile on non-Unix targets. Refactored to separate #[cfg(unix)] and #[cfg(not(unix))] helper functions. Addresses code review 2026-06-27T15:59:21 F1 (REQUIRED/runtime-code).
…e docs Phase 6 code review is APPROVED; advance documentation status to Phase 7. Addresses code review 2026-06-27T16:06:38 F2 (REQUIRED/docs-status).
- command-dispatch.md: update EPIC-002 status to Phase 8 complete - pr-issue-evidence-prep.md: replace ⬜ placeholders with ✅ final results - Record all validation: 489 command tests passed, 2 acceptance tests passed, 5344/5345 workspace tests passed (1 known-flaky papercut) - Sign off as Paulo Aboim Pinto

Thank you @aboimpinto — this is a really strong validation/documentation slice. I rechecked the live state and the branch is clean against I am holding off on merging only because the PR is still marked draft. Once you mark it ready for review, this looks like a good candidate for the 0.8.66+ lane, with the usual final maintainer read-through of the docs wording and validation claims before merge. |

…e code
docs/TOOL_SURFACE.md carried four claims the runtime's own tests contradict:
1. "The default-active policy contains exactly these ten names" listing
`update_plan`. `DEFAULT_ACTIVE_NATIVE_TOOLS`
(crates/tui/src/core/engine/tool_catalog.rs:44-58) has eight entries and
`update_plan` is not among them — it appears nowhere in tool_catalog.rs. The
policy is nine (those eight plus synthetic `tool_search`), eight with memory
disabled. `update_plan` is registered (crates/tui/src/tools/plan.rs:401) but
reachable only through `tool_search`; the tool table now says so.
2. "A memory-disabled or Moraine-fallback runtime". There is no Moraine
fallback — docs/MEMORY.md:11-13 records the removal, and
crates/tui/src/prompts.rs:2445-2449 is a test asserting MEMORY_GUIDANCE must
not contain the word.
3. A "Replay-only aliases" table promising "saved transcripts, sessions, and
recorded automation replay without migration" for 23 names, 16 of which are
asserted REMOVED at crates/tui/src/tools/registry.rs:2066-2088 ("{retired}
must stay removed") and 6 more at :2290-2304 ("{alias} must be removed").
Split into a "Removed spellings" section (with the registry.rs:313-316 note
that resolve has no fuzzy step, so those calls fail rather than dispatch) and
a "Replay-only aliases" section holding only what is still registered:
apply_patch, task_*, github_*, automation_*, rlm_*, checklist_*/todo_*.
4. A "Release verification" block whose three cargo filters name tests that do
not exist (`rg` finds those three strings only in that doc). `cargo test`
exits 0 with "0 passed; N filtered out" on a filter that matches nothing, so
a release engineer following it got three green checkmarks having verified
nothing. Replaced with the real names —
`shell_surface_contains_only_the_canonical_bash_tool` (registry.rs:2290) and
`runtime_task_families_expose_only_canonical_tools` (registry.rs:2333) — plus
the receipt test, and a warning about the silent-pass failure mode.
docs/RUNTIME_SIMPLIFICATION_DESIGN.md repeats errors 1 and 3 and is designated
authoritative by docs/TOOL_LIFECYCLE.md:3-7, but carries no status marker. Given
a status banner naming both divergences and pointing at TOOL_SURFACE.md; the
"Rejected alternatives" provenance is worth keeping, so not deleted.
docs/SUBAGENTS.md:
- "a bounded queue of up to 200 running plus queued sub-agents by default" —
`MAX_SUBAGENT_ADMISSION` is 1024 (crates/tui/src/config/subagent_limits.rs:21),
which is what docs/TOOL_SURFACE.md:182 already said. The 64/128 concurrency
figures on the same page were correct and are untouched.
- The memory section described a `memory.md` that does not exist and omitted the
`scope` parameter. crates/tui/src/tools/remember.rs:165 states the legacy
single-file path was removed in v0.9.4; writes go through
`NativeMemoryStore::remember(scope, workspace_id, note)` (remember.rs:77-108).
config.example.toml documented two key sets that do not exist. Neither struct has
`deny_unknown_fields`, so both were silently discarded rather than rejected:
- `[advisor] max_tool_pairs` / `system_prompt`. `AdvisorConfigToml`
(crates/config/src/lib.rs:2369-2394) has enabled, max_tool_calls (default 10,
clamped 1-50 — the doc said 8, max 32), rate_limit_secs, dedup_window_secs,
and model. `model` was undocumented; now it is.
- `[fleet.profiles.*.permissions] allow_tools` / `deny_tools`.
`FleetProfilePermissions` (lib.rs:1966-1977) has allow_shell, trust,
approval_required. `rg 'allow_tools|deny_tools' crates/` finds nothing. The
example value was `"exec_shell"`, itself a removed tool name.
docs/CONFIGURATION.md: deleted the "Parsed but currently unused" section. Its one
entry, `tools_file`, is not parsed by anything — the field was removed in
346bfe3 and the doc bullet was orphaned. Repo-wide `rg` finds the string only
in that section, and nothing links a #parsed-but-currently-unused anchor.
docs/TTC_DESIGN.md said implementation "is deferred beyond v0.9.0". The `verify`
tool shipped and is default-on (crates/tui/src/tools/verify.rs,
features.rs:262, registry.rs:1040-1041 with verify_tool_enabled defaulted true).
Retitled as landed-in-part; capability (B) is still genuinely deferred, so the
doc stays. Its interface line said `with_verify(critic)`; the real signature is
`with_verify_tool(client, model)` (registry.rs:886).
docs/skills/README.md advertised `gh-plan-issues`, deleted in 18de2eb, and
credited these skills to "the v0.8.61 release" at a 0.9.4 release.
docs/architecture/provider-model-settings-v091.md pinned
`provider_is_configured` to config.rs:8625-8669; it is at :10160 and that region
is now unrelated code. Replaced with the symbol name, since config.rs is under
active edit.
docs/architecture/command-dispatch.md:133 claimed EPIC-002 was "ready for PR".
The PR (#3706) merged and #2870 closed 2026-08-01. Line 145 was an empty
"Current Evidence (Draft)" heading with no content; removed.
.gitignore: `git check-ignore -v` attributes .claude/settings.json,
scheduled_tasks.lock, worktrees/, and *.local.* to the blanket `.claude/` at
line 126, not to the specific rules above them. Dropped the redundant ones and
annotated why the HANDOFF_/CODEMAP_ patterns are deliberately kept.
