Map — "What was done?"

Mindset: Experienced newcomer. You arrived after someone else's work. Understand before you judge. No opinions yet — only comprehension. Test: "Can I explain what was done to someone who hasn't read the RF?" RF: RF Phase B TS: TS Phase B Mode: docs

Understanding

The executor updated two workflow files (research/base.md and plan.md) to reference the new research folder structure established in Phase A. All old-convention paths (researchN/, RES__*, PhaseA/) were replaced with the new conventions (research/iterN/, research/iterN/RES.md, phase-a/). Three key decisions were made: (1) plan.md Step 6c was also updated despite not being explicitly listed in AC scope, because the Definition of Failure required it; (2) stale RES, comment in plan.md Step 7 tree was cleaned up; (3) base.md now lists all 4 numbered stage files explicitly at every reference point.

TS ↔ RF Alignment

TS requirement RF claim Aligned?
AC-1: research/base.md paths updated (10 sub-items) RF §3 AC-1: all 10 items checked, gate grep = 0 matches ✅
AC-2: plan.md Step 7 kebab-case (3 sub-items) RF §3 AC-2: all 3 items checked, gate grep = 0 matches ✅
AC-3: plan.md multi-agent reference (4 sub-items) RF §3 AC-3: all 4 items checked, no tool brand names ✅

Deviations from TS

  1. Step 6c in plan.md also updated — not in explicit AC-1/AC-2/AC-3 items but RF §2 Key Decision #1 explains: TS §7 DoF requires no old paths in "either workflow", making this mandatory. ONB §5 Risk #1 pre-flagged it. Justified deviation.
  2. Removed RES, from plan.md Step 7 tree comment — minor cleanup documented in RF §2 Key Decision #2. Stale reference given RES files now live inside research/iterN/.
  3. Step 5 template references in base.md — RF §1 mentions Step 5 updates ("Step 5: stage references use numbered names") which is covered by AC-1 but the TS step-level breakdown (TS §6) only explicitly lists Steps 0, 3, 4, 6. The executor correctly updated Step 5 line 64 as well. Within spirit of AC-1.

Checkpoint

Self-check: - [x] Read RF §1-§5 completely? - [x] Read TS DoD and matched each item to RF §3? - [x] Read HL §7 Principles — can I state the design philosophy? - [x] Read ONB — were blocking questions resolved?

Stage complete: YES
