REVIEW — TFW-40 / Phase B: Naming Normalization¶
Date: 2026-04-15 Author: Reviewer Verdict: ✅ APPROVE Review Mode: spec RF: RF Phase B TS: TS Phase B Stage files:
review/map.md,review/verify.md,review/judge.mdThis file is a synthesis of stage findings. Reference stage files for raw evidence.
1. Map¶
The executor renamed PROJECT_CONFIG.yaml → project_config.yaml and TOPIC_FILE.md → topic_file.md across the entire framework using git mv (better than TS-suggested Rename-Item — preserves git history). Updated 28 source files + 8 adapter copies (36 total). Added §10.4 (YAML File Naming Convention) to conventions.md codifying lower_snake_case for config/state YAML. Version bumped to 0.8.4. CHANGELOG entry combines Phase A and Phase B changes with migration notes for downstream projects. Scope was expanded beyond TS (.tfw/ only) to include README.md, KNOWLEDGE.md, gen_docs.py + tests — per coordinator's ONB answer that broken links are bugs, not tech debt.
2. Verify¶
| # | What was checked | Result | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | project_config.yaml exists (lowercase), old name gone |
✅ | Get-ChildItem confirmed disk filename (verify.md V1) |
| 2 | topic_file.md exists (lowercase), old name gone |
✅ | Get-ChildItem confirmed disk filename (verify.md V2) |
| 3 | §10.4 naming convention in conventions.md | ✅ | Lines 328-337, negative examples, uppercase reservation rule (verify.md V3) |
| 4 | VERSION = 0.8.4 | ✅ | File content confirmed (verify.md V4) |
| 5 | CHANGELOG v0.8.4 with migration notes | ✅ | Lines 8-27, 4 Added + 5 Changed + 4 Migration items (verify.md V5) |
| 6 | Zero live PROJECT_CONFIG refs in .tfw/ |
✅ | Only CHANGELOG historical + §10.4 negative example remain (verify.md V6) |
| 7 | Zero live TOPIC_FILE refs in .tfw/ |
✅ | Only CHANGELOG historical + §10.4 negative example remain (verify.md V7) |
| 8 | Adapters, README, KNOWLEDGE, docs — no stale refs | ✅ | grep across .agent/, README.md, KNOWLEDGE.md, docs/ = 0 hits each (verify.md V8) |
| 9 | gen_docs tests pass | ✅ | 55/55 passed in 0.32s (verify.md V9) |
| 10 | Knowledge Citations (HL §7.2 + ONB §7) | ✅ | All 7 citations verified — links resolve, items exist, 0 hallucinations |

review/verify.md.
3. Judge¶
| # | Check | Status | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | DoD met? (all TS acceptance criteria) | ✅ | All 11 AC items verified against actual files and grep results |
| 2 | Philosophy aligned (matches HL design philosophy) | ✅ | HL §7 Principle 3 (consistent naming) directly implemented via §10.4 |
| 3 | Tech debt documented | ✅ | RF §5: 3 observations, all substantive |
| 4 | Style & standards | ✅ | §10.4 placement, table structure, documentation patterns consistent |
| 5 | Observations collected | ✅ | 3 observations — naming convention context, historical KNOWLEDGE.md refs, pre-existing config comment |
| 6 | RF completeness (§6-8 present) | ⚠️ | §6-8 absent as formal sections; RF uses inline > fact-candidates: none. Conventions say sections mandatory. However, executor's reasoning is sound (mechanical rename, no strategic insights) and the declaration is functionally equivalent |
| 7 | Analytical quality (spec mode) | ✅ | Sound decisions: git mv, expanded scope via Q&A, historical entries preserved |
| 8 | Source attribution (spec mode) | ✅ | All claims traceable — user quotes for scope expansion and historical preservation |
4. Verdict¶
✅ APPROVE
Clean mechanical execution across 36 files. All 11 acceptance criteria verified — files renamed, references updated, tests passing, adapters synced. One cosmetic issue: RF §6-8 sections were compressed into an inline one-liner instead of formal sections, which technically violates conventions.md ("absent section is not valid"). Given the mechanical nature of the task (rename only, no design decisions, no strategic insights), this is a style gap, not a quality gap. The executor's judgment that formal empty sections add noise to a purely mechanical RF is reasonable.
The git mv decision over Rename-Item was a positive deviation from TS — preserves rename tracking in git history. The scope expansion (README, KNOWLEDGE, gen_docs) via ONB Q&A was legitimate and necessary — leaving broken links would have been worse.
5. Tech Debt Collected¶
| # | Source | Severity | File | Description | Action |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | RF §5 Obs #2 | Low | KNOWLEDGE.md |
D16/D20/D22/D24 Architecture Decisions reference old PROJECT_CONFIG.yaml name in historical source column. Changing would risk falsifying records. Acceptable as historical context |
→ accept (historical records) |
| 2 | RF §5 Obs #3 | Low | .tfw/project_config.yaml |
Live config has different comment formatting than template (shorter comment). Pre-existing, not introduced by Phase B | → backlog |
Obs #1 (§10.4 documents pre-existing lowercase for knowledge_state.yaml) is a clarification, not debt — filtered out per quality filter.
6. Traces Updated¶
- [ ] README Task Board — update status to 📚 KNW (B) after knowledge capture
- [ ] TECH_DEBT.md — Obs #2 accepted as historical, Obs #3 low severity → append
- [ ] tfw-docs: Pending — D47/D48 from Phase A + naming normalization from Phase B should be recorded
- [ ] tfw-knowledge: N/A — no fact candidates in either Phase A or Phase B RF (mechanical tasks)
7. Fact Candidates¶
| # | Category | Candidate | Source | Confidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| — | — | No new fact candidates from Phase B review. Task was mechanical rename with no strategic insights | — | — |
