Verify — "Are the claims true?"¶

Mindset: Auditor. The RF is a declaration, not a fact. Open files. Run commands. Compare claims against reality. Test: "If I removed the RF, would the evidence alone prove the work was done?" Mode: spec Min verify ratio: 0.42 RF files claimed: 10 distinct paths in RF §1 (2 new, 4 modified, 4 preserved) Files to verify: ⌈10 × 0.42⌉ = 5; actual verification: 10/10 plus the complete active workflow/adapter/skill corpus

Verification Log¶

V1: baseline, original plan/implementation, correction, and revised execution chain¶

RF claim: TFW-50 starts from the published/restored bc6779e baseline, retains the original six-path implementation, then applies a user-driven all-role research correction before revised execution.
Actual: origin/master and the declared baseline both resolve to bc6779e365b01118030ec577a47e6339f0fabf1c. Its tree 066795d7aff38a2b5528865e8e36bfd0a82fa94c equals the restored v0.9.0 source commit 5aef936b tree. bc6779e..ace895b is a linear 15-commit range with zero merges: original HL/TS → original ONB/approval → 389168a implementation → research reopen → four stages + RES → revised HL/TS → revised ONB/approval → two-file correction → EV/RF. The original and revised artifact versions and the complete RES iteration were read, not only the final patch.
Match: ✅

V2: `.tfw/conventions.md` and `.tfw/glossary.md`¶

RF claim: Conventions are the sole normative owner; the glossary is a concise reference; all five subject terms and Git metadata/authentication boundaries are exact.
Actual: The six implementation paths contain exactly one Every AI-authored commit MUST use sentence, one [agent/task/scope/role] summary grammar occurrence, and one ### Commit Attribution normative section, all in .tfw/conventions.md:153-157. The sentence derives agent from the lowercase AI product in explicit context, task from the canonical task ID with only the no-task project fallback, scope from an established or explicitly normalized lowercase work-slice label, role from the canonical §15/Role Lock owner, and summary as short and imperative. .tfw/glossary.md:82-84 defines first-line subject trace context, links to conventions §4, separates it from author/committer metadata and authentication, and does not repeat the grammar.
Match: ✅

V3: four preserve-and-verify paths¶

RF claim: Canonical handoff, both installed handoff copies, and RELEASE.md are byte-stable to 389168a and retain the corrected subject/push semantics.
Actual: All four 389168a:path blobs equal their current HEAD:path blobs: canonical handoff 00baa9b2…, both installed copies 44fea1c0…, and RELEASE.md 3ff41c29…. Handoff Step 4 says to commit ONB using Commit Attribution and permits push only after explicit user approval. RELEASE.md uses [codex/project/release/coordinator] release vX.Y.Z and separately requires explicit approval before pushing commit and tag. Full-blob equality also proves the unrelated canonical/installed Evidence drift was not altered after the original implementation.
Match: ✅

V4: exact six-path implementation boundary and prohibited machinery¶

RF claim: Total implementation scope is exactly six existing paths; corrective execution changes only conventions/glossary; no runtime, hook, script, schema, registry, manifest, config/state, validator, or new framework file appears.
Actual: git diff-tree -r 389168a lists exactly the six TS allowlist paths. git diff c7a0055..420fdbe lists only .tfw/conventions.md and .tfw/glossary.md. Classifying bc6779e..HEAD after excluding explicit TFW-50 lifecycle traces and README.md yields exactly the same six existing paths, with zero unexpected and zero missing. No implementation path has a code/config/schema extension; git diff --check bc6779e..HEAD passes. Local/global core.hooksPath are unset and .git/hooks/prepare-commit-msg is absent.
Match: ✅

V5: universal roles, wider corpus, and cadence separation¶

RF claim: One universal owner covers Coordinator, Researcher, Executor, and Reviewer; the wider corpus has no conflicting subject or automatic-push rule; no new commit cadence or duplicated grammar was added.
Actual: Canonical plan/research/handoff/review role paths load conventions and resolve to §15 owners coordinator, researcher, executor, and reviewer. The complete active inventory contains 16 .tfw/workflows files, 19 .tfw/adapters files, 14 .agent files, 11 .agents skills, and 12 .claude files. Independent grouped scans reduce positive commit actions to handoff, docs grouping, active release, and Codex-skill inclusion. Only handoff/release formerly overrode subject/push semantics, and both are reconciled. Docs says changes share the task commit; Codex install says skills are included with the project; neither sets a subject or authorizes push. No non-task file repeats the full grammar, no automatic-push/conflicting-subject pattern exists, and added implementation text introduces no per-stage, WAIT, STOP, workflow, artifact, file, or AC commit requirement. All 11 Codex source/installed skill pairs are SHA-256 equal.
Match: ✅

V6: task traces, evidence claims, and final all-role history¶

RF claim: Revised HL/TS/ONB, bounded RES Iteration 1, EV, and RF accurately preserve the all-role/no-cadence correction; existing history is compatibility/searchability evidence only.
Actual: research/iterations.yaml explicitly sets one focused iteration (min_iterations: 1, max_iterations: 1), permitted by the task override, and all four numbered stages plus RES exist and are complete. Challenge explicitly rejects Extract's cadence expansion and selects C7. Reviewer commit 6c4e321ab2d2b0fa15cbf3265d5b678885417bff contains only review/map.md and review/verify.md and uses [codex/TFW-50/task/reviewer] record independent verification trace. The subsequent final audit found 16/16 valid subjects in bc6779e..HEAD: Coordinator 3, Researcher 5, Executor 7, Reviewer 1, with zero TFW-49 subjects in the current-task range. Scopes and role owners match the traced work; Git author and committer remain separate Sanzhar metadata. RF/EV name prompts and rejected TFW-49 machinery only as confounders and do not use TFW-49 as TFW-50 completion.
Match: ✅

V7: tests, rendered documentation build, cleanup, and publication boundary¶

RF claim: Docs tests pass, the integration suite performs a real MkDocs build, generated debris is removed without touching ignored user files, and the remote remains unpublished.
Actual: Independent reruns produced 55 passed in 1.01s and 13 passed in 95.08s; after final REVIEW/README writes, the final-state rerun produced 55 passed in 1.12s and 13 passed in 90.55s. The integration fixture invokes python -m mkdocs build --config-file docs/mkdocs.yml against the real project. Each dry-run cleanup identified only .pytest_cache/, docs/scripts/__pycache__/, and site/; exact-target cleanup removed those three paths. The ignored user-file manifest SHA-256 remained D13E09EA…A2BE8 before and after, and the only remaining ignored roots are entities.json, mempalace.yaml, and tasks/TFW-36__content_marketing_blog_series/. origin/master remains bc6779e; this Reviewer performed no push, fetch, tag, deploy, publish, or notify action.
Match: ✅

V8: source attribution and Project Values citations¶

RF claim: The Git terminology boundary and HL/ONB knowledge citations are traceable to real sources.
Actual: Official Git primary documentation confirms that commit-message text up to the first blank line is the title used as an email Subject, while author/committer information is stored separately and names do not authenticate anyone: git-commit documentation. All 10 HL §7.2 rows resolve; all 12 ONB §7 rows resolve, including the two additions. The cited README values, KNOWLEDGE D15/D23/D24/D28, philosophy F22, process F3/F4/F6/F22, convention F3/F5, conventions §11, and RES D1/D2/D4/D8 all exist and support the stated applications.
Match: ✅

Discrepancies Found¶

No discrepancies. RF's Reviewer item was an explicit deferral to this independent workflow, not a false claim; Reviewer commit 6c4e321 and the subsequent 16-subject final range audit now resolve it.
