Verify — "Are the claims true?" (revision 3)¶

Mindset: Auditor. The RF is a declaration, not a fact. Test: "If I removed the RF, would the implementation and evidence prove the result?" Min verify ratio: 0.42 RF product census: 77 files; initial minimum: ceil(77 × 0.42) = 33 Coverage: revision 2 verified the complete then-current surface; this review inspected 30/30 second-corrective-iteration paths. Discrepancies therefore triggered 100% coverage of the current iteration.

Verification Log¶

#	Surface	Verification	Actual result	Match
V1	Contract and current specification	Recovered master baseline `c1782b3`; read current Phase HL and approved TS R4	Purpose and accepted 77-file budget are clear; no frozen-contract change is needed	✅
V2	Second corrective delta	Inspected all 30 paths in `86bc963^..32d5974`, including code, tests, evidence, status, event, configs, canonical workflows, and exact copies	All requested edits exist; three material discrepancy classes remain	❌ result / ✅ coverage
V3	Full tests	Ran `python -m pytest docs/scripts/ -q`	`206 passed, 1 skipped in 166.99s`	✅
V4	State and index gates	Ran `gen_index.py --validate` and `--check` before the review transition	53 tasks validate; index was current and remains non-authoritative	✅
V5	Adapter integrity	SHA-256 compared all workflow copies and Codex skills to their declared sources	22/22 workflow copies and 11/11 Codex skills match; zero drift	✅
V6	Clock retry	Read helper/tests and reproduced controlled readings	Every candidate comes from `clock()`; stalled clock is bounded; midnight advances the date	✅
V7	Actor validation	Ran matching provider, missing-team, and agent-accountability probes	Providers are refused, but the integrated caller passes `None` for an empty `team/`, accepting `ghost`; the name-only set cannot enforce human `on_behalf_of`	❌
V8	Identifier declaration	Checked both config files, resolver, plan, init, conventions, templates, and docs tests	Config and resolver agree on the whole ID; canonical init/artifact instructions still give `{ID}` bare-stamp semantics or duplicate `{title}`	❌
V9	Windows binding path	Scanned canonical workflows and exact copies; ran class scanner on its real population	Literal path is present in 7 canonical workflows and 14 copies; 0 control bytes in 921 scanned files	✅ behavior / ❌ stored count
V10	Journal trace	Parsed all task journal files with the current declared handle	11 events; five current actor-bearing events validate and six pre-2.0 events are reported as immutable legacy	✅
V11	Migration and status	Rechecked snapshot/accounting/status/index results and prior verified implementation	61 identifiers accounted, 0 unaccounted, 11 task states plus one phase state; current phase is RF before verdict	✅
V12	RF/EV/evidence	Audited every EV row and all seven attachments against current commands and Git	50 verified, 4 partial, 2 contradicted, 1 deferred, 2 N/A; final artifacts still contain old incompatible output	❌
V13	Git and scope	Checked current status, commit subjects, per-commit paths, and `git diff --check`	Corrective executor commits are scoped; unrelated dirty TFW-54/55/TECH_DEBT work is untouched; diff check is clean	✅
V14	Purpose regression	Re-ran local validation/freshness behavior and read build configuration	A task transition is not forced to rewrite the shared index; the original purpose failure stays closed	✅

Commands Executed¶

#	Command	Result
1	`python -m pytest docs/scripts/ -q`	`206 passed, 1 skipped in 166.99s`
2	`python docs/scripts/gen_index.py --validate`	`53 tasks validate against the closed schema`
3	`python docs/scripts/gen_index.py --check`	`index up to date: workspace/00-INDEX.md` before this transition
4	`git diff --name-only 86bc963^..32d5974`	30 distinct second-corrective-iteration paths
5	`git diff --name-status 80d6a16..HEAD`	129 paths: 77 modified, 52 added
6	SHA-256 source/copy comparison	22 workflow copies and 11 Codex skills, zero mismatch
7	`git diff --check 80d6a16..HEAD`	no output
8	Integrated empty-`team/` actor probe	production caller value is `None`; a matching `actor: ghost` event returns no validation problem
9	Agent-accountability probe	`on_behalf_of: worker-one` passes when the only known datum is the handle name; profile type is unavailable
10	Current control-character scanner population	921 files scanned, 0 hits; stored RF/control artifact says 116
11	`git log --format='%s' 86bc963` filtered for `TFW-N`	294 task-naming subjects at the evidence's recorded HEAD, not 292; current HEAD has 295
12	Unfiltered Task Board sweep	19 historical/mechanical/guard-test hits, matching the regenerated log
13	Both `id_format` declarations	`{YYYYMMDD}-{HHMMSS}__{slug}` in live and template config

Claim & Source Checks¶

#	Claim / citation checked	Where it appears	Traces to	Holds?
C1	Every event candidate is a fresh clock reading	RF §1; EV E11	`gen_index.event_filename`, controllable-clock tests	✅
C2	A provider cannot be an actor and an actor resolves to `team/`	RF §1; EV E13	validator, production callers, targeted probes	❌ Provider rule holds; declared-handle rule fails open when the handle set is empty and human accountability is not type-checked
C3	The whole directory name is the identifier everywhere	TS AC-2; RF §1/§3	configs, `conventions.md`, `init.md`, templates, docs tests	❌ Configs are fixed, but canonical artifact/init instructions remain internally contradictory
C4	Evidence was regenerated from final commands	RF header/§4; EV header/E16/E35/E47/E48	current Git, test output, attachments	❌ Several persisted figures and shown commands are mutually incompatible or predate the final commit
C5	The Windows path is literal and no control character remains	RF §1; EV E19	seven canonical workflows, fourteen copies, integration scanner	✅ Behavior holds; the stored population count does not
C6	The corrective RF has a current actual-clock handoff	RF §1; measurement log	`journal/20260827-043340__handoff__saubakirov.md`	✅
C7	The result serves task locality and resumability	master baseline §3.2; NS1; build/index behavior	local status validation and non-blocking derived index	✅

Discrepancies Found¶

F-R3-1 — identity validation is fail-open and loses the profile type. team_handles() returns names only, and both production callers use team_handles(root) or None. With no declared profile, None disables membership checks and an actor named ghost validates. Because the profile type is discarded, an agent handle also validates as on_behalf_of, contrary to AC-3's “always a human handle.” The direct unit tests inject a non-empty set and therefore do not exercise either production failure.
F-R3-2 — the full-ID and actor-bearing grammars are not propagated through the canonical release surface. .tfw/workflows/init.md:126-127 still defines {ID} as the bare clock and then appends __tfw_init; .tfw/conventions.md:303-309 appends {title} to {ID} even though line 317 says {ID} is the whole identifier; the same file's lines 422-423 still show actorless event names. An agent following the shipped init/convention path can put a bare stamp into status.md, double the slug in artifact names, or copy the superseded journal grammar. The docs tests happen to use the correct one-slug filenames, exposing the contradiction rather than resolving it.
F-R3-3 — AC-13 item 5 and the R4 countability DoF are still open. Examples: EV E35 says 40 A / 4 M, while its own inline block still says “additions only” and the current command is 42 A / 4 M; EV still labels TS revision 3 and prints the old 190 passed run; RF/control evidence says 116 scanned files while the shipped test scans 921; the ceiling population says 292 task-naming subjects while the recorded HEAD has 294 and current HEAD has 295; E48 omits the final executor commit; and measurement_log.txt declares HEAD=86bc963 while containing the later 04:33 handoff. The underlying tests are green, but the evidence offered as final is not a single reproducible snapshot.
F-R3-4 — three ONB citation applications remain semantically irrelevant. All sources resolve and exist, but ONB §7 rows 1, 2, and 12 apply resumability, task-locality, and D37 to unrelated approval/status answers. Approved TS R4 deliberately preserves the ONB and records the defect in RF observation 12. It is therefore disclosed historical trace rather than a concealed implementation claim, but it is not a semantic pass.

Evidence Verification¶

Classification	Evidence items	Reason
✅ Verified (50)	E1–E9, E11–E15, E17–E22, E24–E34, E36–E37, E40–E46, E50–E59	Reproduced by current tests, files, counts, or direct source inspection
⚠️ Partial (4)	E10, E38, E47, E48	Name separation is not end-to-end declared-actor validation; link evidence masks canonical placeholder inconsistency; “every named failure” omits integrated identity cases; staging log omits the final executor commit and does not persist the staged-set comparison
❌ Contradicted (2)	E16, E35	The stated population does not reproduce at its recorded HEAD; E35's row, inline output, and current command disagree
⏸ Deferred (1)	E23	Non-specialist observation belongs to TFW-61 under approved S43
⚪ N/A (2)	E39, E49	Equal-depth clause deleted; transport concern transferred to TFW-61

All numbered rows and attachments exist, so evidence completeness is ✅. Their final-state agreement and ability to establish the claims is ❌.

Knowledge Citations Verified¶

PV priorities 0–4 were read in full and priorities 5–7 by relevance. Current master HL §7.2 contains 29 citations; ONB adds N1–N5.

Group	Link resolution	Item existence / meaning	Application relevance
Master HL §7.2 items 1–29	29/29	29/29	29/29
ONB applications of items 1–29	29/29	29/29	26/29; rows 1, 2, 12 are irrelevant
ONB N1–N5	5/5	5/5	5/5

Distinct references: 34 resolved, 34 exist, 31 ONB applications relevant, 3 historically irrelevant, 0 hallucinated. RF observation 12 and TS R4 make the disposition explicit; the old ONB itself remains immutable.
