REVIEW — TFW-11 / Phase B: Integration — Plan Gate + Pipeline Desyncs

Date: 2026-03-30 Author: Coordinator (AI) Verdict: ✅ APPROVE RF: RF Phase B TS: TS Phase B


1. Review Checklist

# Check Status Notes
1 DoD met? (all TS acceptance criteria) All 7 criteria verified: Phase 3.5 gate, 4 pipeline diagrams, artifact table, conventions §2+§8, glossary (4 items). Grep confirms 0 stale “three canonical” in .tfw/.
2 Code quality (conventions, naming, type hints) Markdown formatting consistent with existing styles. Phase 3.5 numbering avoids renumbering existing steps — pragmatic choice.
3 Test coverage (tests written and passing) N/A for Markdown. Pipeline grep (TODO.*HL.*TS) verified all live files show 🔬 RES. Historical task artifacts correctly retain old pipeline.
4 Philosophy aligned (matches HL design philosophy) RESEARCH gate follows recommend/ask/never-skip logic from HL. Skip path preserved. “RES optional” consistently noted.
5 Tech debt (shortcuts documented?) No shortcuts. Two ONB recommendations adopted (Evolution section counts, Canonical Workflows table) — both within same file scope, documented in RF Key Decisions.
6 Security (no secrets exposed, guards in place) N/A Markdown only
7 Breaking changes (backward compat, migrations) Additive only. Phase 3.5 inserted without renumbering. Skip path preserves old HL→TS flow.
8 Style & standards (code style, conventions) English throughout. Tables, pipeline diagrams, status emoji consistent across all 6 files.
9 Observations collected (executor reported findings) 5 observations — all adapter/init desyncs outside TS scope. Properly categorized as desync type.

2. Verdict

✅ APPROVE

Phase B resolves all 8 Tech Debt items from Phase A REVIEW (#1-8) and adds the RESEARCH gate to plan.md. All 6 files modified as specified. Pipeline diagrams are now consistent across all live framework files. The 5 new observations are residual adapter/init desyncs appropriate for Phase C.

# Source Severity File Description Action
1 RF Obs #1 Low .agent/workflows/tfw-plan.md:131 Antigravity adapter copy of plan.md still shows old pipeline (no 🔬 RES) → Phase C
2 RF Obs #2 Low .tfw/init.md:30-37 Step 2 PROJECT_CONFIG.yaml example doesn’t include res template → Phase C
3 RF Obs #3 Low .tfw/init.md:87-93 Antigravity workflow copy commands missing research.md → Phase C
4 RF Obs #4 Low .tfw/README.md:73 Project Structure tree comment missing RES in templates list → Phase C
5 RF Obs #5 Low .tfw/README.md:74 Project Structure tree comment missing research in workflows list → Phase C
