REVIEW — TFW-47 / Phase A: Evidence Enforcement

Date: 2026-07-17 Author: Reviewer (Antigravity) Verdict: ✅ APPROVE Review Mode: docs RF: RF Phase A TS: TS Phase A Stage files: review/map.md, review/verify.md, review/judge.md This file is a synthesis of stage findings. Reference stage files for raw evidence.


1. Map

Phase A makes evidence/ a mandatory subfolder in every TFW task directory, replacing the optional policy from D16 (TFW-46). The executor created an EV template at .tfw/templates/evidence/EV.md (Environment header + per-AC table + Verdict + Attachments) and updated 5 framework files: conventions.md §3/§4/§14, TS template (Evidence Artifacts subsection), RF template §5 (pointer to EV file), handoff.md Step 11 (6-step evidence creation), and KNOWLEDGE.md (D53 — revokes D16, extends D52). Three positive deviations: D53 as separate decision (better trace), ### placement (avoids renumbering), and §3 pipeline table rows (clarifies cognitive modes).

2. Verify

# What was checked Result Evidence
V1 EV template exists with all structural elements File at .tfw/templates/evidence/EV.md — 5 Environment fields, 6-column table, Verdict format, Attachments section, naming convention
V2 conventions.md §3 mandatory language "MUST contain" at L114, no "optional"/"only when binary" (grep: 0 hits)
V3 conventions.md §4 folder structure + naming 2 EV rows in naming table (L146-147), evidence subfolder section (L219-221), multi-phase structure (L237-238)
V4 TS template Evidence Artifacts section ### Evidence Artifacts at L63 with guidance and example table
V5 RF template §5 pointer format Pointer at L44, cognitive mode updated, verdict preserved, no inline table
V6 handoff.md Step 11 substeps 6 substeps (L86-91), no skip condition (grep: 0 hits), RF §5 pointer instruction
V7 KNOWLEDGE.md D53 + D16 revocation D53 at L84 with "Revokes TFW-46 research D16", 0/38 justification
V8 conventions.md §14 anti-patterns Evidence anti-patterns at L442-446, "evidence/" folder language present
V9 EV evidence file for this phase evidence/EV__phase-a__evidence_enforcement.md exists, 6 N/A rows, verdict matches RF §5
V10 Knowledge citations (KC1-KC9) All 9 citations resolve to real items, 0 hallucinations

All 6 files verified (100%). Full log: review/verify.md.

3. Judge

# Check Status Evidence
1 DoD met? All 6 ACs verified against actual files. 0 discrepancies.
2 Philosophy aligned P1 (mandatory): "MUST contain" in conventions. P2 (values): structured template with Environment/table/Verdict.
3 Tech debt documented 3 observations in RF §6 — compilable_contract Source Manifest, project_config.yaml templates, review template references. All substantive.
4 Style & standards EV naming follows D28 (2-letter abbreviation). Section hierarchy, language style consistent with existing framework docs.
5 Observations collected 3 items, all typed, all real issues (not filler). Quality filter passed.
6 RF completeness (§7-9) §7 Fact Candidates: present, empty (valid). §8 Strategic Insights: present, empty (valid). §9 Diagrams: BEFORE/AFTER ascii diagram showing evidence pipeline change.
7 Evidence completeness All TS AC items Evidence: N/A (definition documents). EV file exists with correct all-N/A verdict. Appropriate for methodology changes.
8 Content quality (docs) Clear language, self-documenting template, actionable handoff substeps.
9 Source verification (docs) D53 cites 0/38 metric from HL. Template aligns with iter1 RES D1-D7.

4. Verdict

✅ APPROVE

All 6 acceptance criteria met. 100% file verification — zero discrepancies. The EV template is well-designed: structured enough for traceability (Environment header, per-AC table with 4-status vocabulary, Verdict summary) yet flexible enough for diverse tasks (proportionality via row count, "(if applicable)" fields). Three deviations from TS are all positive improvements (D53 as separate decision preserving trace, ### placement avoiding renumber, pipeline table rows clarifying cognitive modes). Knowledge citations verified — 9/9 resolve, 0 hallucinations. Evidence file follows the new convention (the task itself is evidence that the template works).

5. Tech Debt Collected

# Source Severity File Description Action
TD-1 RF §6 Obs #1 Low .tfw/compilable_contract.md Source Manifest doesn't include EV template path. Phase D should consider adding. → Phase D or backlog
TD-2 RF §6 Obs #2 Low .tfw/project_config.yaml tfw.templates section doesn't list EV template. Consistent with research templates not listed either — convention, not bug. → backlog

Observation #3 (review/verify.md references) correctly assessed as no-action: RF §5 pointer means artifact paths still resolve. Not promoted to tech debt.

6. Traces Updated

  • [x] README Task Board — status updated to 📚 KNW (A)
  • [x] TECH_DEBT.md — TD-120, TD-121 appended
  • [x] tfw-docs: N/A (minor methodology phase — no architecture changes beyond what D53 already captured)
  • [x] tfw-knowledge: N/A (no fact candidates in RF, no human insights in this phase)

7. Fact Candidates

No fact candidates.
