What This Phase Was Supposed to Do

Phase A is the foundation phase of TFW-41. It establishes the template infrastructure that all subsequent phases (B, C, D) depend on. Three specific changes:

  1. Rewrite TS.md — Replace procedural §4 (Detailed Steps) with requirements-first structure: Principles Check (§3), Acceptance Criteria (§5), Technical Guidance (§6), Definition of Failure (§7), Cross-Phase Modifications (§9). The core shift: TS must say WHAT, not HOW.
  2. Add Phase Dependencies to HL.md — Mermaid diagram + dependency table as ### Phase Dependencies subsection in §4, enabling any coordinator to write any Phase TS without reading all prior research.
  3. Add 4 anti-patterns to conventions.md §14 — Formalizing observations from HD-16/HD-18 into the canonical anti-pattern list.

Why it matters: This phase directly addresses Problems 4, 5, 7 from HL §2 (code-in-TS, plan≠fact drift) and HD-16/HD-18 root causes. All subsequent phases reference the new template structure.

RF Structure Assessment

RF Section Present Notes
§1 What Was Done ✅ New/modified files table with detailed change descriptions
§2 Key Decisions ✅ 5 decisions, including the §4↔§5 numbering conflict
§3 Acceptance Criteria ✅ All 8 AC items checked, with notes on deviations
§4 Verification ✅ Line counts, DoF gate checks
§5 Observations ✅ 2 items in structured table
§6 Fact Candidates ✅ 2 items
§7 Strategic Insights ✅ Declared empty with rationale
§8 Diagrams ✅ Declared N/A with rationale

All mandatory RF sections are present. No structural gaps.

Key Deviation to Understand

The RF declares a numbering shift: AC-1 expected ## 4. Acceptance Criteria but the final template has ## 5. Acceptance Criteria because AC-5 (Principles Check) was inserted as ## 3. Principles Check, shifting all subsequent sections. The executor documented this in §2 (Key Decisions #1) and §3 (notes under AC-1 and AC-4). The section headings match the TS intent; only numbers drifted. This is a pre-existing structural conflict in the TS itself, acknowledged in Key Decision #1.

Self-Check Gate

  • [x] RF file read completely before writing this map
  • [x] TS file read — scope, ACs, DoF known
  • [x] HL file read — vision, principles, phase context known
  • [x] Key deviation (numbering conflict) understood before judging
  • [x] No judgment made yet — pure mapping
