EV — TFW-52 / Phase B: Assisted

Date: 2026-08-13 Author: Codex (Executor) Task: TFW-52 TS: TS Phase B Owner disposition: Product accepted as successful on 2026-08-13 with the Codex lifecycle-hook limitation recorded, not waived as verified.

Environment

Field	Value
OS	Microsoft Windows 11 x64
Codex	Desktop package 26.803.5235.0; CLI/app-server 0.147.0-alpha.6.5 during the final lifecycle smoke
Deploy target	Standalone non-Git Assisted roots outside steps-framework
CI / Pipeline	Local structural assertions, handler fixtures, fresh-root smoke, Git diff checks
Product commits	8557a32 (starter), ac4c3a4 (standalone initialization and task intake)
Evidence retention	Raw external run roots and rollout files were no longer present at RF closure; exact observed outcomes below are reconstructed from the session trace.

Evidence

#	AC	What was verified	Environment	Result	Artifact
E1	AC-1	The complete nine-file starter was copied to fresh non-Git roots without manual service-file edits. The user layer is Russian and standalone; README.md names the limits and is 531/700 words, AGENTS.md is 1038/1100. The owner subsequently exercised the starter and accepted the product direction after the standalone-init correction.	Repository plus fresh-root checks	VERIFIED	README.md, AGENTS.md, commits 8557a32, ac4c3a4
E2	AC-2	Definitions for SessionStart, PreCompact, and Stop, cross-platform dispatch, one handler per platform, root discovery, idempotent checkpoint and one-shot Stop logic passed deterministic handler checks. Real trusted Codex Desktop sessions nevertheless produced no durable HookStarted/HookCompleted, handler-state log, or additionalContext. The updated runtime reproduced the same failure. Lifecycle execution is therefore not verified.	Codex Desktop 26.803.5235.0, CLI 0.147.0-alpha.6.5; earlier negative baseline 0.146.0-alpha.9.2	BLOCKED	hooks.json, tfw-hook.ps1, tfw-hook.sh; session IDs 019fe4cd-3e12-7380-adda-0852d46b0530, 019fe5ab-b22b-7501-b2b0-a68cb09ae933
E3	AC-3	The final contract requires orientation, trace-before-result, owner, AI role, desired result, criteria, status and backward plan; it explicitly forbids stopping at “task created”. Real automated Stop mismatch evidence was unavailable and the replacement manual run was not completed.	Static contract and deterministic handler only	DEFERRED	AGENTS.md §§ «Ориентация в каждой задаче», «Перед первой долговечной записью»
E4	AC-4	The contract and owner’s basic use confirm ordinary reading is separated from durable work; an infrastructure-invalid P1 run left the root unchanged and gave the visible manual-fallback phrase. The full three-question live lane and SessionStart active_task=none proof were not completed.	One incomplete interactive session; static contract	DEFERRED	AGENTS.md § «При старте»; session 019fe5bf-3e38-7342-a12e-28d24a14f72d
E5	AC-5	Four local root fixtures passed: project root, nested cwd, absent marker refusal and competing-root refusal; no Git dependency is present. A fresh standalone root with the final PROJECT.md was also found from a nested directory and created neither work/ nor knowledge/inbox/.	Local PowerShell handler fixtures; non-Git temporary root	VERIFIED	tfw-hook.ps1, PROJECT.md
E6	AC-6	The candidate/records/index topology and no-automatic-consolidation language are present. A completed live AC-8 candidate set was not collected.	Static product inspection	DEFERRED	knowledge/INDEX.md, AGENTS.md § «Память и риск»
E7	AC-7	Deterministic secret-pattern handling passed local handler fixtures; the agent contract holds semantic categories and asks once before shared memory. The full two-run live risk lane and Stop publication check were not completed.	Local handler fixture plus static contract	DEFERRED	tfw-hook.ps1, AGENTS.md § «Память и риск»
E8	AC-8	The Light/Assisted prompts, inputs, order and metrics were planned and frozen, but the comparison was not executed after the lifecycle blocker and later owner-directed product corrections. No claim of measured difference is made.	Not run	DEFERRED	ONB § «Expected Evidence Plan»
E9	AC-9	MIGRATION.md specifies preservation, mapping, hashes and duplicate-contract refusal. The full live migration and byte comparison were not executed.	Static product inspection	DEFERRED	MIGRATION.md
E10	AC-10	Per-task writer ownership, separate profiles and automation identity are implemented in the contract. The two-session shared-root run was not executed.	Static product inspection	DEFERRED	people/README.md, AGENTS.md
E11	AC-11	The exact visible fallback phrase and executable manual order are documented; the incomplete interactive session emitted the phrase and continued safely without writes when tools were unavailable. This verifies visible manual mode, not hook execution.	Repository plus session 019fe5bf-3e38-7342-a12e-28d24a14f72d	VERIFIED	README.md § «Если автоматические проверки недоступны», AGENTS.md

Verdict

Evidence verdict: 3/11 VERIFIED, 7 DEFERRED, 1 BLOCKED, 0 N/A

Owner disposition: SUCCESS WITH KNOWN LIMITATION. The owner accepts the standalone Assisted product and requested closure. AC-2 remains truthfully BLOCKED on the tested Codex runtime; deferred lanes are not silently promoted to verified.

Trace Notes

Trace	Observation
019fe4cd-3e12-7380-adda-0852d46b0530	Trusted clean-root baseline on CLI 0.146.0-alpha.9.2: no lifecycle dispatch artifacts or additional context.
019fe5ab-b22b-7501-b2b0-a68cb09ae933	Updated-runtime smoke on CLI 0.147.0-alpha.6.5: same conclusive absence after one frozen prompt; no retry.
019fe5bf-3e38-7342-a12e-28d24a14f72d	Downstream run stopped after P1 because a copied diagnostic CLI lacked its sibling code-mode host; product tree remained unchanged.
Owner feedback, 2026-08-09	Basic use showed Assisted needed standalone initialization, project goals/values, AI role/mental model and active problem discovery. Commit ac4c3a4 implements the correction.
Owner acceptance, 2026-08-13	Owner reports basic operation is satisfactory and directs successful closure with hook caveats.
