Judge — "Is the quality sufficient?"¶
Mindset: Judge. You have the evidence from Verify. Now rule on quality. Every ✅ needs proof. Every ❌ needs a specific finding. Test: "Would I stake my reputation on this passing production review?" Verify findings: verify.md
Universal Checklist¶
Every row is asked in every review. There is no genre that exempts a row. Status vocabulary:
✅holds ·❌fails, with a specific finding ·⚪ N/Adoes not apply here.⚪ N/Arequires a stated reason in Evidence. A row skipped as a bare✅is a silent skip and the stage is not complete. Percentages are measured non-✅ rates from a 637-row corpus — they are why the row exists, not decoration.This is the first review run under the ten-row checklist this task ships. It is filled by its own rules, including the rows that did not exist when the work started.
| # | Check | Status | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | DoD met? | ✅ | All twelve TS ACs cross-checked against actual files (verify.md V1-V24). All fifteen HL §5 DoD items hold: DoD-1 folder absent · DoD-2 steps 0-7 contiguous, Step 0 = Session Naming, every internal reference resolves (V2, command 6) · DoD-3 ten rows, S1 worded against U7, explicit-N/A structural at three sites (V3) · DoD-4/5 eight rows and eight verify actions accounted for and re-audited against the deleted files (V23) · DoD-6 REVIEW.md §3 10/10 in order (V6) · DoD-7 key gone, ratio intact (V7-V8) · DoD-8 pointer resolves (V9) · DoD-9 anti-pattern present (V10) · DoD-10 one meaning (V11) · DoD-11 six copies clean, five diffs empty (V14-V19) · DoD-12 ### Removed names the key with upgrade instructions (V13) · DoD-13 TD-106 closed (V20) · DoD-14 grep gate re-run: zero matches, exit 1 · DoD-15 no pre-existing REVIEW or past CHANGELOG entry touched (V24) |
| 2 | Philosophy aligned — two clauses, both answered. (a) Mapping integrity · (b) Design soundness (4.5%) | ✅ | (a) TS §3 maps eight HL §7 principles to ACs; each linked AC verified met — P1→AC-1/AC-6 ✅, P2→AC-3/AC-4 ✅, P3→AC-2 ✅, P4→AC-1/AC-7 ✅, P5→AC-2 ✅, P6→AC-9 ✅, P7→AC-12 ✅, P8→AC-12 ✅. No principle maps to a failed AC. (b) The two load-bearing design calls are sound and neither was in the TS. Splitting U2 into separately quotable clauses (a)/(b) means TFW-53 Phase C can replace the mapping-integrity clause without silently evicting the promoted S3 — the fused sentence the TS's literal wording invited would have taken it out invisibly. Migrating rather than declining the three verify actions keeps the Verify-stage half of the 16.1% convergence attached to the Judge-stage half; declining would have shipped the highest-firing row with nothing feeding it. Both choices make the next task's job possible rather than the current one's easier |
| 3 | Tech debt documented | ✅ | RF §6 carries eight observations, each with file, line, type and a stated consequence. Seven survive the quality filter; all eight are triaged in REVIEW §5. Two are self-incriminating (the commit-attribution leak, the dead grep alternative) — the ones an executor optimising for a clean review would omit |
| 4 | Style & standards | ✅ | Artifact naming follows conventions §4. RF carries §1-§9 with none omitted. EV follows the template — Environment header, per-AC table, verdict line, Attachments section present with a stated reason for being empty. Commit subject [claude-code/TFW-56/task/executor] remove the review mode axis matches the §4 grammar. CRLF discipline held: git show --stat shows line-level diffs, no whole-file reformat |
| 5 | Observations collected | ✅ | Quality filter applied per row. Six would cause a real problem if left: the shared-index leak (silent trace loss for any future concurrent session), the Phase C eviction of S3 (a promoted row disappears without either task's DoD noticing), the RELEASE.md MAJOR clause (a rule that penalises deletion in a framework built on deletion), the config.md Adapter Sync gap (the anti-drift procedure covers half the adapters), the L466 dangling reference, and the row 9-10 tail-position risk. Two are knowledge-layer corrections rather than debt (F19, D42) and route to /tfw-knowledge and /tfw-docs. No filler |
| 6 | RF completeness (§7-9) | ✅ | §7 five fact candidates, each with source and confidence, four at ★★★ and traceable to a command or a named exchange. §8 three strategic insights, each carrying an explicit Implication — S1 identifies a written rule diverging from the owner's applied standard, S3 records that the amendment channel absorbed a refuted premise without the task dying. §9 three diagrams, and they carry the load: the before/after step columns, the eight-row residue map with arrows to destinations, and the row 7 vs row 8 contrast built from the actual dry-run. Present and substantive |
| 7 | Evidence completeness — does the evidence exist? | ✅ | 16 rows for 12 ACs plus the build gate. Only the 4-status vocabulary used (9 VERIFIED / 0 DEFERRED / 0 BLOCKED / 7 N/A). Every VERIFIED row carries a command with its output or a reading against a named file and line. All seven N/A quote the TS's own Evidence: field verbatim — checked against TS §5, all seven accurate. No attachments, with a stated reason. Nothing missing |
| 8 | Evidence sufficiency — does the evidence establish the claim? (16.1%) | ❌ | One finding. RF §3 AC-8 presents the gate as "grep -rn "review mode" .tfw/ → 0 matches". Run exactly as written it returns two hits (.tfw/CHANGELOG.md L17, L23). The --exclude=CHANGELOG.md flag present in EV §E6 was dropped in the RF's summary line, so a checkmark rests on a command whose stated output is not what it produces. What it does not undo: TS AC-8's gate is "every remaining hit means the same thing", not "zero matches" — both hits are the new changelog entry describing the removed axis, one meaning, and the changelog is the one file DoD-15 forbids rewriting. AC-8 passes on its own criterion; the summary line overstates the exhibit. Also C6 partial: the git log -p lockstep claim behind the tfw.version bump was not re-run end to end — the present state matches, the history is taken on the executor's word. Both are Low. Everything else the evidence is offered for, it establishes: the three dry-run findings traced verbatim to TFW-53/A's own EV file (C1-C3), the parity diffs and the grep gate reproduced independently, the attribution anomaly confirmed in git show --stat fbdf443 exactly as described |
| 9 | Backward compatibility (8.5%) | ✅ | Consumers enumerated. Existing projects: default_mode becomes an inert key — CHANGELOG ### Removed names it and tells maintainers to delete it; nothing reads it, so a leftover line cannot break. min_verify_ratio unchanged in value, comment and behavioural home (V7-V8). Step numbers are the real anchor risk: every reference repo-wide was swept (command 6) and all resolve; three were stale before this task and are correct after it without an edit. Template consumers: REVIEW.md §3 grows 6 → 10 rows, which affects new files only — 43 existing REVIEW files keep their headers and content untouched. Docs pipeline: .tfw/workflows/** and templates/** are Source Manifest rows; three generated pages disappear and the suite still passes 68/68 with gen_docs.py carrying no mode reference. TFW-53 Phase C: no frozen DoD is made unlandable — this is what the U2 clause split protects, and RF obs. 2 names the one line Phase C's TS needs |
| 10 | Safety (4.0%) — kept on consequence, not on rate | ⚪ N/A → one finding recorded under row 3 | No secrets, credentials or environment values appear in any changed file; nothing here executes. The one irreversible operation is git rm of three files, fully recoverable from 6c3c506 and re-read from there during this review. Reason the row is not a bare ✅: the trace-safety side is not clean — a concurrent session's broad git add/commit captured this task's staged deletions (fbdf443), so a destructive operation landed under the wrong task's name. No data was lost and the executor correctly declined to rewrite another session's commit, but the project has no convention barring the broad-add that made it possible. Triaged as TD-144 rather than scored against this RF, which reported it rather than hid it |
Contradictions with KNOWLEDGE.md¶
| # | Knowledge item | RF claim | Contradiction? |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | D42 — review mode files, mode-specific checklists, Progressive Disclosure (KNOWLEDGE.md L74) |
The mechanism D42 records no longer exists | Yes, and declared. Revocation is the task's stated purpose, ruled by the owner at freeze, recorded in the CHANGELOG entry, and reported by the executor as obs. 4 with the correct route (/tfw-docs at KNW). Precedent: D53 revoked TFW-46 D16. Not an undisclosed contradiction |
| 2 | Legacy table row "6 universal + 2-4 mode-specific items. Mode files in .tfw/workflows/review/" (KNOWLEDGE.md L173) |
Now ten universal rows, no mode files | Yes, and declared — same observation, same route. Stale until /tfw-docs runs |
| 3 | knowledge/process.md F19 — review.md is the only workflow with a non-standard Step 0 |
Both halves of F19 are now historical | Yes, and declared — RF obs. 3, routed to /tfw-knowledge. F19 was cited in HL §7.2 #18 and used, not merely read |
| 4 | D41 (4-stage flow), D46 (Reviewer Identity, Trust Protocol) | Stage flow and Trust Protocol kept intact | No. Only D41's mode-selection clause and D46's WAIT-gate subject die; both survivors verified present in the shipped review.md |
Checkpoint¶
Self-check:
- [x] Every checklist item has evidence (not just ✅/❌)?
- [x] Every ⚪ N/A carries a stated reason — no row skipped as a bare ✅? Row 10 is the only ⚪; its reason and its residual finding are both written out.
- [x] Rows 7 and 8 answered separately, with different reasoning? Row 7 ✅ — nothing is missing. Row 8 ❌ — a present, correctly-formatted checkmark rests on a command whose stated output is wrong. The finding is an overstatement inside a complete artifact, which is structurally invisible to row 7. First live confirmation of the split outside the executor's own dry-run.
- [x] Referenced verify.md findings in DoD assessment? V1-V24, commands 1-7.
- [x] Checked RF §7-9 for presence AND quality (not just existence)? Row 6.
- [x] KNOWLEDGE.md cross-referenced — contradictions documented or "None"? Four rows above; three real, all pre-declared by the executor.
- [x] Fact Candidates from RF reviewed — any that need challenge? FC1 (shared index) reproduced in git show --stat fbdf443 — holds. FC3 (RELEASE.md divergence) traced to ONB Q1 and the owner's answer — holds. FC4 (dead grep alternative) reproduced: review/{code matches nothing at 6c3c506 either — holds. FC5 (Adapter Sync gap) confirmed by reading config.md L101-112 — holds. FC2 (tfw.version lockstep since 0.8.5) accepted at ★★★ but only partially verified here (C6) — flagged for /tfw-knowledge to re-run git log -p before consolidating.
Stage complete: YES
