Run scripts/vscode/Install-RepoDotNetSdk.ps1 (its skip marker is `/sdk/`, lines 56-61), then `dotnet tool restore`, then restore with `/p:RestorePackagesConfig=true`; gate on printed package count and Glob observations. Ignore entries: `.dotnet*/` at .gitignore line 350 and `**/[Pp]ackages/*` at line 191 (both defeat a literal grep). +4. **AC check-off tasks may only flip `- [ ]` to `- [x]`.** Appending an evidence citation to the criterion line violates acceptance-criteria-tracking rule 3. Route citations to `/evidence/issue-updates/ac-status-summary..md`, created by the first check-off task and appended by the rest. +5. **The `-o` backtick scan (pattern `` `[^`\n]*/[^`\n]*` ``) produces false positives** spanning from one token's closing backtick to the next token's opening backtick when a plain-text path sits between two backticked identifiers. Sort those from real hits before removing backticks. +6. **A "moved verbatim" file cannot carry a whole-file or outside-one-member 0.90 gate.** Gate only the members the change writes; list every moved member with the reason it is unreachable (constructs real host; reached only past an await an existing test faults before; guard the existing test leaves unsatisfied; no test). +7. **Class-parallel runsettings + process-wide statics** (viewer-queue scheduler defaults, UiThread dispatcher, static factory property) need `[DoNotParallelize]` on each new class; the mirrored ViewerQueueStaticWrapperTests.cs carries it at line 11. PumpTimeoutMs is 60000 in the four pump-hosted test files. +8. **Moving a path out of the spec's Write Set leaves prose residuals in four sibling sentences that cost round 3.** After the interface was demoted from written path to exclusion paragraph, the spec still said "seven test files" (regression list), "one interface change adds a read-only member" (backward-compat), "the added interface member" (compatibility note) and "read through the interface" (data flow), and the plan's correction 8, files-not-modified paragraph and spec CITATION locator (308-341 vs 308-344) still described the old state.

Revised after preflight round 1 (5 blocking, 7 non-blocking). + +**1. `table = null;` matches the declaration `Outlook.Table? table = null;` at line 50.** The three null-producing assignments (92, 109, 132) are the fix targets, but a "count of `table = null;` is 0" gate is unsatisfiable because the local's declaration line carries the same substring and is not edited. Assert the transition 4 -> 1 and name the survivor. General form: before writing an absence gate for an assignment literal, grep the whole file for the literal, not just the lines the fix touches. + +**2. Eighteen `*.csproj` files exist, not sixteen.** The directive said "fifteen of the sixteen tracked project files" carry the stale Meziantou path with TaskMaster.csproj the sixteenth. That is the count of Meziantou-BEARING projects; SVGControl and SVGControl.Test also exist and carry no analyzer item. An analyzer-path enumeration task must list via `git -C . ls-files -- "*.csproj"`, never a fixed count. "Project files outside the Write Set" is therefore 16 (18 minus the 2 in the Write Set), not 14. + +**3. CORRECTED (round 1): timed `new CancellationTokenSource()` calls DO exist in the tree.** The regex `new CancellationTokenSource\([^)]` matches 13 lines across 3 tracked files: UtilitiesCS/Threading/TimeOutTask.cs (10, one at line 119), QuickFiler/Controllers/QfcQueue.cs (2), UtilitiesCS/OutlookObjects/Conversation/ConversationHelper.cs (1). The earlier memory claim "none exists anywhere" was false (probably a `-SimpleMatch`/escaping slip in the original check) and cost a blocking finding. Rule: a positive control for a file-reading search gate must itself be a file in the tree, read through the same `-LiteralPath` form, never an in-payload `-InputObject` string; and before asserting "no file carries X", run the exact regex with the Grep tool over `*.cs`. Tree controls that exist: `.CancelAfter(` at QuickFiler.Test/Controllers/QfcQueueCoverageExpansionTests.cs:169 (1), `Thread.Sleep(` at UtilitiesCS/Threading/ThreadMonitor.cs 151/211 (2), `Task.Delay(` in UtilitiesCS.Test/Threading/TimeOutTask_AdditionalTests.cs (3). + +**4. A restarted planning cycle leaves spec.md's `## Write Set` naming the PREVIOUS plan filename.** The orchestrator re-issued the plan path as `plan.2026-09-12T16-09.md`; the spec's Write Set still listed `plan.2026-09-12T13-23.md`. Check this on every "prior-attempt draft" delegation. Round 1 also found the research record (`research/-*.md`) missing from the Write Set even though the run commits it: every file the run commits belongs in the Write Set because it enters the anchored diff. + +**5. AC16 admits exactly three evidence subdirectories** (baseline, regression-testing, qa-gates) and the orchestrator's directive lists issue-updates as a fourth permitted location. Permitted is not required: when no GitHub posting occurs, write the delivery note into issue.md and create no mirror, or the plan's own footprint gate fails the criterion. + +**6. `catch (TaskCanceledException` occurs THREE times in OlTableExtensions.TableAccess.cs** (88, 228, 304), so it is a >=1 positive control for the catch-clause search mechanism, never an exact-count gate. `token.ThrowIfCancellationRequested` occurs 0 times pre-fix, so "count exactly 1" is a clean false-before/true-after presence gate. + +**7. Helpers.ps1's per-filename Cobertura aggregation is `Get-CoberturaClassLineSummary` at line 159** (not 158 as #825's memory says), grouping `class[@filename]` nodes at lines 272-282. Cite by function name plus re-derived line. + +**8. `$env:TEMP` resolves under the user profile.** A scratch-root artifact that "records the resolved absolute path verbatim" (as the prior draft did) leaks the account name into a committed Markdown file. Record the `Join-Path $env:TEMP "..."` expression, never its value; same for vswhere results. + +**9. Post-commit porcelain gates must assert SCOPE, never membership or count (round 1, orchestrator-reworked).** "Lists exactly two entries" is wrong in the preparation worktree (feature docs untracked: six entries) AND wrong in a worktree started from the pushed branch (docs tracked: about two), and also depends on whether the executor checks off tasks incrementally. Form that survives both: "contains no entry outside `/`; presence of the plan file is not asserted". Pair it with a mandatory P0 `BASE-UNTRACKED:` porcelain span so the executor knows its starting state. + +**10. A baseline suite run gated on exit 0 makes the no-new-failures comparison vacuous (round 1).** If P0's full run must exit 0, `BASELINE-FAILED:` is always `NONE` and the P4 comparison can report nothing. Record the exit code without gating it, gate on assembly count / result-file presence / `executed >= 1` / Cobertura presence instead. The FINAL run keeps exit 0 (AC14) via one named single re-run when the only failure is the issue-780 flake, re-run into the same scratch dir so coverage readers see the re-run's document. Round 2 correction: never pin `ExpectedExitCode: 1` on an ungated run; the schema compares for equality, so write `ExpectedExitCode:` with the OBSERVED non-zero value and say it is presentational and gates nothing. + +**11. AC "presence of assertion" criteria need literal-presence gates (round 1).** AC2/3/4 were about assertions being PRESENT; a test asserting only the thrown type passed every gate. Pin identifier names in the delivered-source section (`factoryInvocations`, `tableReadInvocations`, `injectedTimeout`) so the gates can name one-line literals like `factoryInvocations.Should().Be(2`, and give the creating task an artifact the check-off task reads. The ClockTests reflective helper (lines 81-102) awaits the task directly and never touches `.InnerException` (re-verified round 2: 0 hits in the file), so a same-shape helper carries none before the test task runs. Round 2 correction: a presence gate on a literal that XML documentation or a second assertion could legitimately repeat (`retry 2`, `750 ms`, `.InnerException`) must be at-least-one, not exactly-one; it stays falsifiable because the literal is 0 in the file before the task. Keep exactly-one only where a duplicate would be redundant (`.BeSameAs(injectedTimeout)`). + +**12. Post-commit tasks: no membership sentence, no artifact after a folder-wide commit (round 2).** (a) A porcelain scope gate must not carry a sentence such as "every entry it does contain is either the plan file or under evidence/": in the preparation worktree the untracked spec.md, issue.md, user-story.md and research record are also present and the task stages none of them, so the sentence is false and contradicts the state-dependence sentence beside it. (b) A task that commits the whole feature folder (P4-T38) must name NO artifact: an artifact written after that commit is untracked under evidence/ and fails both its own listing gate and the terminal task's first-listing gate. Transcribe the listing into the executor's completion message instead. Only the terminal task writes-then-commits; only P4-T17 may write post-commit because P4-T38 later sweeps it. (c) An unreachable outcome ("P4-T34 records AC14: NOT MET") must not be named when an earlier hard gate (P4-T16 exit 0) stops the run first. (d) Never assert a fixed COUNT of regex-based gates in the conventions section; name them and state the rule. + +Related: [[project_825_etl_deadline_mechanics_plan_seams]], [[project_824_ilglobals_static_publication_plan_seams]], [[agent-worktrees-need-sdk-and-nuget-bootstrap]], [[zero-hit-grep-gates-need-carveouts]], [[_shared_no_absolute_host_paths]], [[empty-porcelain-clause-is-unsatisfiable]]. diff --git a/.claude/agent-memory/atomic-planner/project_839_createcancellationtoken_init_plan_seams.md b/.claude/agent-memory/atomic-planner/project_839_createcancellationtoken_init_plan_seams.md new file mode 100644 index 000000000..4cf8a9e9a --- /dev/null +++ b/.claude/agent-memory/atomic-planner/project_839_createcancellationtoken_init_plan_seams.md @@ -0,0 +1,112 @@ +--- +name: project-839-createcancellationtoken-init-plan-seams +description: "#839 plan seams (QfcHomeController.Init token-source fix) - a lone dead-comment deletion between two blank lines is not CSharpier-stable (delete comment + adjacent blank, 500 -> 499); the planner-output hook forces the QA loop into the final phase with the check-offs; single-assembly coverage must bypass the runner's -SearchRoot discovery and its 80 percent document-level assert by dot-sourcing ConvertTo-DerivedCoverageSettingsXml; Glob misses on gitignored dirs are inconclusive; nested quotes inside $() are legal" +metadata: + type: project +--- + +Seams re-derived while authoring the issue #839 plan in worktree `.claude/worktrees/agent-a63e372c42be95942` +at 2405a829d (2026-09-12, revision round 0). + +**Why:** each one either made a caller-supplied instruction unsatisfiable as written, or would have drawn a +preflight finding. + +**How to apply:** re-check before planning any QuickFiler controller fix at the 500-line ceiling, any +single-assembly coverage gate, or any plan that must pass `.claude/hooks/validate-planner-output.ps1`. + +1. **"Delete exactly ONE line to stay at 500" is not CSharpier-stable when the dead line sits between two + blank lines.** QfcHomeController.cs lines 464 and 466 are blank around the line-465 dead comment, so + deleting 465 alone leaves a double blank that `csharpier format .` collapses; the diff then shows two + deleted lines whatever the executor did, and a "single line removed" gate reads as violated.

Never reach for +`[ExcludeFromCodeCoverage]`: the repo's coverage-exclusion policy forbids it and the maintainer +decision on #727 sub-finding 4 rules it out by name. + +**5. A repository-wide coverage floor cannot be measured on this host.** Four shell-icon test +classes in another assembly stall vstest, and the coverage runner hard-codes its TestCaseFilter so +they cannot be filtered out. Plan a PROJECTION instead: take lines-covered/lines-valid from the most +recent committed repo-wide Cobertura in the tree (the 2026-09-08 item-825 qa-gates artifact, 56029 +and 65402 at `:2`), add the package-level delta measured between two identically-scoped runs, and +gate the quotient. Deltas from two same-scope runs make the stale reference safe. + +**6. `QfcQueue.LoadControllersViewersAsync` is `private` and returns `ValueTask>`.** +A non-zero-`start` index-mapping test cannot call it directly; it needs a reflection invoke plus a +cast of the boxed return before awaiting. `QfcPreScoredItem` has a public three-argument constructor +taking the mail item, a folder path string and an `IFolderSearchHandler` +(`QuickFiler.Test/Controllers/QfcQueuePurePathsTests.cs:297`). + +**7.

The Write Set was widened to a sibling `.Harness.cs` PART +FILE of the same partial test class. **How to apply:** when a suite is near the ceiling, plan the +part file UP FRONT and set the interim trigger below the ceiling (470, not 480) because the repo-wide +format can ADD physical lines; and give the authoritative post-format measurement a remediation +branch, never an unconditional acceptance.

Sixteen tasks failed this way. **How to apply:** interleave a +`msbuild /t:Build` step (plain build target, correct here precisely because it is NOT a gate) into +every task that authors a test and then runs it, and gate on its `0 Error(s)` summary line rather +than on its exit code. + +**9. A PowerShell `try`/`catch` does not catch an external process failure.** Wrapping +`& pwsh -File runner.ps1` in try/catch produces a catch block that never runs, so an `EXIT_CODE:` +field sourced from it has no source. **How to apply:** merge the child's error stream with `2>&1`, +capture the output, read `$LASTEXITCODE`, and match the terminating message text out of the captured +output. And never hard-code `ExpectedExitCode: 1` for an unobserved branch: the only committed +evidence of this runner used the repository ROOT as search root and its assertion PASSED (exit 0), so +the single-assembly branch is unmeasured. Record the branch as an observation with a paired +consistency check; an artifact declaring `ExpectedExitCode: 1` that exits 0 normalises to fail. + +**10. Cobertura package and class elements carry NO `lines-covered` and NO `lines-valid`.** The +string occurs exactly once per document, on the root `` element.

A `catch (TaskCanceledException)` therefore never sees + it. In `GetTableInViewAsync` this makes three of its four null-producing assignments + production-unreachable; only the absorbed-`default` path fires in production. Do not assume a + `catch (TaskCanceledException)` observes caller cancellation. +3. `Task.Run(() => work(), token)` suppresses **scheduling** only; it cannot interrupt a delegate + already on a thread-pool thread. So a genuinely slow synchronous COM call does not time out at + all, and on the path that does return null the delegate body runs **zero** times. Repo states + this at `DfDeedle.QfcColumns.cs:114-118`. +4. The only test seam that reaches those unreachable catch clauses is the `timeoutSourceFactory`, + because `RunWithTimeout` invokes it **outside** its `try`. The factory must return a *fresh* + `CancellationTokenSource` per call: `RunWithTimeout` holds it in a `using` declaration and + disposes it each attempt. A pre-cancelled fresh source is the deterministic way to drive the + absorbed-default path with no clock advance and no gate. +5. `Type.GetMethod(name, flags, binder, types, modifiers)` matches on **parameter** types only, so + changing a method's return-type *nullable annotation* does not break a reflective binding. + Changing the runtime return type (e.g. to a result struct) breaks the downstream + `task.GetType().GetProperty("Result")` unboxing and every `BeSameAs` assertion instead. +6. `UtilitiesCS.Test/OutlookObjects/Table/OlTableExtensions_Tests.cs` is 1822 lines and says so at + `:1614`; nothing may be added to it. `TableAccess.cs` is 452/500. +7. Best in-repo precedent for a timeout contract is `DfDeedle.QfcColumns.cs:146-155` + (`AddQfcColumnsAsync`): quiet return on outer-token cancellation, `TimeoutException` naming the + folder on exhausted retry.

Launch every execution child NON-ISOLATED. Under Agent-tool worktree isolation the Bash tool + refuses pwsh and every other opaque executable, and delegates get Bash disabled outright. Six + independent children confirmed this. parallel-orchestrator must create each worktree itself with + git worktree add and pass the path to a non-isolated child. +2. Grant msbuild and dotnet Bash permissions to the execution child. The atomic-executor agent + definition grants neither, and every C# gate needs both. +3. Pass the absolute worktree root explicitly. git rev-parse --show-toplevel is not a usable + fallback: from the session root it resolves to the session root, not the item worktree. +4. STAGGER every gate step that invokes msbuild or vstest. Item 743 exists because pump-hosted + QuickFiler tests expire at PumpTimeoutMs under concurrent build load, so concurrent gates + reproduce that defect inside the executors' own gates. This is a CPU constraint, independent of + max_concurrency and of any model-quota throttle. +5. Close Outlook, never kill it, before any rebuild gate, or build output stays locked. Item 792's + AC-U5 needs a live Outlook afterwards and is a MANUAL human verification. +6. Local vstest needs the .claude worktree exclusion, /InIsolation, and a TestCaseFilter excluding + the four UtilitiesCS.Test shell-icon classes that stall the test host on this machine. +7. Per-item orchestrator checkpoints do NOT travel with the branches, because artifacts/ is + gitignored. Each execution child must seed its own before its first git add. +8. Restore the Parallel mode: true marker for EXECUTION delegations only. Item 816 verified that + including it during preparation makes the pre-implementation gate evaluate against the + parallel-orchestrator checkpoint and deny with checkpoint-absent. + +## Resolved Decisions + +1. ORDERING — RESOLVED by withdrawing item 602. 602 conflicted with all twelve other items, and + compute_cohorts is Welsh-Powell, which colours the highest-degree vertex first, so the most + contended item was scheduled earliest and 602 took cohort 0 alone. No permitted planner action + could move it. It was withdrawn before execution; the unstarted subgraph was recoloured at + `recolor_generation: 1` and the remaining twelve items keep the same partition, shifted down one + index. Withdrawal cost no parallelism. + + The reason recorded at intake — that 602's AC4 depends on the results-directory and + log-file-name behavior item 873 delivers — was checked and is NOT supported by 602's own + documents; see the "Two corrections to the record" section of `parallel.md`. The real reason is + that six of 602's fifteen criteria are repository-wide present-tense searches over the tracked + tree, which this run's own document-adding siblings falsify if 602 merges first. Four such + sibling files were already measured on the preparation branches. +2. TRX FILENAME LEAK — RESOLVED in the favourable direction by the same withdrawal. Items 743, 838, + 871 and 872 pass /Logger:trx with no LogFileName= across seventeen command spans, so vstest emits + a filename carrying the account and host tokens; item 816 is the only item that authored + LogFileName correctly. This decision previously recorded that relying on item 602 to sweep the + leak afterwards did not work *because* 602 ran first. With 602 deferred to a follow-on run after + these twelve merge, the afterwards-sweep is now the actual order. The inline fix remains + mechanical and acceptance-condition-neutral if an item prefers to make it directly. + +## Item Summary + +| issue_num | feature_folder | cohort | complexity | branch |

+Thirteen thematically unrelated TaskMaster defects, prepared to preflight clearance and scheduled by +computed blast-radius contention. There is no integration branch: each item opens its own pull +request against `main`. + +Planning state: `artifacts/orchestration/parallel-planner-state.json`. +Plan-home branch: `parallel/bugs-2026-09-11-plan`. Base: `2405a829d`. + +## Reading the blast radii + +Every radius below is the `declared` radius, derived from the item's approved plan and spec text and +then corrected by hand where the extractor could not see a genuine write. The corrections are +recorded per item in the planner checkpoint under `radius_hand_appended`, with a measured reason. +Three correction classes occurred in this run and each one, left uncorrected, would have +co-scheduled two items onto the same file: + +- paths under `scripts/vscode/` and `.claude/agent-memory/`, removed by the `mandate_reads` + exclusion, which is right for a citation and wrong for a commit; +- the separator-free root token `CLAUDE.md`, which derivation admits only as an exact member of the + configured shared-surface list; +- paths whose directory segment contains a space, which the whitespace-free token extractor splits + into fragments naming no tracked file. + +## Resolved scheduling limitation — item 602 withdrawn + +Item 602 conflicted with all twelve other items, so Welsh-Powell coloured it first and it occupied +generation-0 cohort 0 alone, executing FIRST. It was withdrawn on 2026-09-13 before execution +started, and the unstarted subgraph was recoloured at `recolor_generation: 1` into three cohorts: + +| cohort | items | +| --- | --- | +| 0 | 583, 743, 838, 839, 871, 872, 873 | +| 1 | 742, 816, 869, 870 | +| 2 | 792 | + +Because 602 occupied a cohort alone either way, the withdrawal costs no parallelism; it removes a +serialized cohort and leaves the other twelve items partitioned exactly as before, shifted down one +index. 602's twelve conflict edges are retained in the planner checkpoint as derived record and are +inert, since a neighbour holding no current-generation cohort constrains nothing. + +### Why 602 must not run first + +Six of 602's fifteen spec criteria — AC1, AC2, AC3, AC4, AC5, and AC7's reconciliation premise — +are repository-wide, present-tense assertions over the tracked tree, of the form "lists no tracked +file". They are unbounded by 602's own diff. A sibling that merges after 602 and adds a file +carrying an identifier therefore *falsifies* those criteria on `main` rather than merely dating +them, leaving 602 checked off against a condition that no longer holds. + +That is already realized rather than hypothetical. Measured against base `2405a829d`, four of the +twelve sibling preparation branches already add files carrying the account identifier: 742, 871 and +743 in the user-profile-path form, breaking AC1, and 873 as a bare account name inside a +`SearchPatterns` regex, breaking AC2. All four land inside 602's own declared globs +`docs/features/active/**/*.md` and `docs/features/**/evidence/**`, and execution will add more. +602's spec concedes the mechanism in its Known Contention section: "because the criterion is +repository-wide a partial correction leaves it unmet. Whichever item lands second must re-measure +rather than assume." + +Raw-evidence-class exposure — `.trx`, `evidence/**/*.xml`, `*.txt`, `*.process-tree.json` — measured +zero across all twelve preparation branches, so AC5 and AC7 exposure is latent and depends on what +execution commits. Re-measure rather than assume. + +Withdrawal also resolves the trx-filename leak in the kickoff's Open Decisions: that note recorded +that relying on 602 to sweep the leak afterwards did not work *because* 602 ran first. Re-run 602 as +a follow-on run once these twelve items merge. + +### Two corrections to the record + +**The stated dependency is not the real one.** The ordering requirement was stated as "602's AC4 +depends on the results-directory and log-file-name behavior item 873 delivers". That premise is not +supported by 602's own documents: its `spec.md` AC4 is an 8.3 short-name residual-search criterion +naming neither symbol, its plan references neither symbol nor item 873, and both its `issue.md` and +`spec.md` place that half explicitly out of scope as the sibling's work. Item 873 is indeed the +writer of that behavior, but 602 is not a consumer of it. The same unsupported claim appears in the +planner checkpoint under `unexpressible_ordering` and `ordering_assumption_refuted` and in kickoff +Open Decision 1; it originated in the intake handoff and propagated unchecked. The distinction +matters operationally: the stated reason would justify withdrawing 602 only from a run containing +873, whereas the real reason scales with the number of document-adding siblings and applies to all +twelve. + +**602's Ordering Risk section does not mean what it appears to mean.** Its AC13 and its Ordering +Risk prose assert self-consistency "in either landing order", but both rest on a single axis — that +no criterion asserts anything about the test runner's argument list. They do not defend the +tree-wide residual searches in AC1 through AC5, which are exactly the criteria a later merge breaks. +Reading AC13 as general order-independence would have wrongly cleared 602 to run first. + +See the planner checkpoint under `items[].withdrawal` and `planner_notes.item_602_withdrawn`. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/docs/features/potential/promoted/2026-09-13-ac22-write-set-criterion-unsatisfiable.md b/docs/features/potential/promoted/2026-09-13-ac22-write-set-criterion-unsatisfiable.md new file mode 100644 index 000000000..2dfa20d1f --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/features/potential/promoted/2026-09-13-ac22-write-set-criterion-unsatisfiable.md @@ -0,0 +1,72 @@ +# ac22-write-set-criterion-unsatisfiable (Issue #885) + +- Date captured: 2026-09-13 +- Author: Dan Moisan +- Status: Promoted -> docs/features/active/ac22-write-set-criterion-unsatisfiable/ (Issue #885) + +> Automation note: Keep the section headings below unchanged; the promotion tooling maps each of them into the GitHub bug issue template. + +- Issue: #885 +- Issue URL: https://github.com/drmoisan/TaskMaster/issues/885 +- Last Updated: 2026-09-13 +## Summary + +The "AC22 Write Set" acceptance-criterion pattern requires an agent-executed change's footprint to match a spec's declared Write Set exactly.

Confirm `.claude/agent-memory/` is a tracked directory in this repository (verified: dozens of files under it are tracked and modified across active sessions, including four `.md` files touched in this same session). +4. Observe that every agent that executes a plan writes to its configured agent-memory root during the run, so this same AC22-style criterion will recur on the next delivery, and the one after that, independent of which agent or which feature is involved. + +## Expected Behavior + +An AC22-style "Write Set" criterion should be satisfiable by a correctly-scoped, agent-executed change. Either the criterion should carry an explicit repository-wide carve-out for `.claude/agent-memory/**` writes (since these are infrastructure bookkeeping, not production or test changes), or the Write Set declaration mechanism should be extended to auto-include the agent-memory paths that any executing agent is expected to touch. + +## Actual Behavior + +The criterion as currently worded is unsatisfiable in principle by any agent-executed change, because: +- `.claude/agent-memory/` is tracked in git. +- Every agent (orchestrator, atomic-executor, feature-review, etc.) writes lesson/memory files to it during normal operation. +- No spec's Write Set, authored before execution, can enumerate agent-memory files that do not yet exist at authoring time. +- The failure therefore recurs on every item, not just item 871, and cannot be fixed by tightening any individual plan's scope. + +This shares a root cause with a related, separately-observed problem: some agents' configured agent-memory root resolves into a worktree their own directives forbid them to write to, which produced four disclosed directive breaches in one run (reported separately; not itself the subject of this issue, but the underlying agent-memory-path/worktree-resolution mechanism is the same one implicated here). + +## Logs / Screenshots + +- [x] Attached minimal logs or screenshot +- Snippet: PR #883 body, "Follow-ups" section, final bullet: "Acceptance criterion AC22 is the one criterion not met as literally worded, and is left unchecked.

It should not include cited-but-not-closed issue numbers in an "author-asserted autoclose" list, and it should not emit a malformed non-numeric token like `#ISO-8601`. It should also correctly detect an installed, working `gh` CLI rather than reporting it unavailable. + +## Actual Behavior + +The tool's "author-asserted autoclose issues" list for item 871 contained: `#620, #678, #724, #727, #731, #781, #784, #871, #ISO-8601`.

The other seven are unrelated issues referenced only as citations inside item 871's own spec/issue/research documents, and `#ISO-8601` is not a valid issue reference at all. Had these been emitted as actual GitHub closing keywords in the PR body and had GitHub validation been available, merging the pull request would have closed seven unrelated issues. The `pr-author` skill's body for PR #883 states explicitly: "GitHub CLI validation was unavailable when this body was generated, so no closing keyword is emitted... The context bundle's author-asserted list also harvested several unrelated issue numbers from prose inside the feature documents; emitting closing keywords from that list would have closed issues this PR does not address." Additionally, `artifacts/pr_context.summary.txt` reports "GitHub CLI unavailable: GitHub CLI (gh) is not installed," which is false in this environment: `gh issue view 882` and `gh pr view 883` both succeeded during this same filing session. A further defect, reported by the delegating coordinator and not independently reproduced in this filing, is that `collect_pr_context` can produce a vacuous zero-diff context when invoked against a workspace root whose checked-out branch is not the target branch; this is recorded here for completeness and should be verified independently before being treated as confirmed. + +## Logs / Screenshots + +- [x] Attached minimal logs or screenshot +- Snippet: `artifacts/pr_context.summary.txt` (item 871), lines 38-47: + ``` + Auto-close issues (author asserted): + - #620 + - #678 + - #724 + - #727 + - #731 + - #781 + - #784 + - #871 + - #ISO-8601 + ``` + and line 10: `GitHub CLI unavailable: GitHub CLI (gh) is not installed.

The `#ISO-8601` token suggests the pattern is not even anchored to digits, since it matched a non-numeric string.

Measured against the merge base +`734112ed25bba293cb074e71fee2286bc3b72fae`, so the drift predates the #911 branch: + +| Application configuration | Assembly | Redirect declares | Reference and restored package declare | +|---|---|---|---| +| `QuickFiler/app.config` | `Microsoft.Bcl.Memory` | 10.0.0.11 | 10.0.0.12 | +| `SVGControl/app.config` | `Fizzler` | lower than 1.3.1.0 | 1.3.1.0 | +| `SVGControl/app.config` | `System.Runtime.CompilerServices.Unsafe` | lower than 6.0.3.0 | 6.0.3.0 | +| `SVGControl.Test/app.config` | `MSTest.TestFramework` | lower than 4.4.0.0 | 4.4.0.0 | +| `ToDoModel/app.config` | `Microsoft.Bcl.Memory` | 10.0.0.11 | 10.0.0.12 | +| `UtilitiesCS/app.config` | `AngleSharp` | 1.7.1.0 | 1.8.1.0 | +| `UtilitiesCS/app.config` | `Microsoft.Bcl.Memory` | 10.0.0.11 | 10.0.0.12 | +| `UtilitiesCS/app.config` | `Microsoft.Bcl.Numerics` | 10.0.0.11 | 10.0.0.12 | +| `UtilitiesCS/app.config` | `Microsoft.Extensions.Diagnostics.Abstractions` | 10.0.0.11 | 10.0.0.12 | +| `UtilitiesCS.Test/app.config` | `Microsoft.Bcl.Memory` | 10.0.0.11 | 10.0.0.12 | + +A redirect that maps a version range onto an assembly version the tree does not contain resolves to +a missing assembly at runtime for any request inside that range. The #911 repair pass reconciles a +binding redirect only for a package the run upgraded, so it leaves this pre-existing drift in place +deliberately; correcting it is a behaviour change unrelated to the upgrade that pass repairs. The +tooling #911 delivers can perform the correction: run +`scripts/dependencies/Repair-PackageManifestConsistency.ps1` with the affected packages supplied as +candidate upgrades at their current versions, or extend the pass to reconcile every redirect and +accept the resulting six-file diff. + +Evidence: +`docs/features/active/2026-09-19-dependabot-fanout-and-ci-failing-nuget-upgrades-911/evidence/qa-gates/p7-t5-ac15-repair-idempotence.2026-09-19T09-44.md`. + + +## Impact / Severity + +- [ ] Blocker +- [ ] High +- [x] Medium +- [ ] Low + +Nothing here blocks #911. The deferred criteria are unverifiable rather than failing, the formatting +and redirect items are pre-existing, and the module defect is unreachable through the shipped +composition root. + +## Suspected Cause / Notes + +See the measurements above. The entry-point defect is the one worth acting on soonest: it is live +code in a module #911 ships, and nothing asserts its unreachability. + +## Proposed Fix / Validation Ideas + +- [ ] Provision the GitHub App credential per the #911 runbook, then exercise AC18, AC19 and AC20 + against a live Dependabot pull request. +- [ ] Decide whether to format the two `scripts/vscode/` files or record them as permanently excluded. +- [ ] Reconcile the ten stale binding redirects, or state why they are correct as written. +- [ ] Fix `Invoke-ProjectConsistencyRepair` so it cannot rewrite assembly versions to package + versions, and add a test covering that path. + +## Next Step + +- [ ] Promote to GitHub issue (bug-report template) +- [ ] Move to active fix folder / branch
