REVIEW — TFW-6 / Phase B: Workflows

Date: 2026-03-12 Author: Coordinator (AI) Verdict: ✅ APPROVE RF: RF Phase B TS: TS Phase B


1. Review Checklist

# Check Status Notes
1 DoD met? (all TS acceptance criteria) All 8 items verified — see below
2 Code quality (conventions, naming, type hints) Markdown well-structured, YAML frontmatter present on all workflows
3 Test coverage (tests written and passing) N/A No code — Markdown artifacts
4 Philosophy aligned (matches HL design philosophy) General over specific (workflow vs RELEASE.md), plain text, adapter parity
5 Tech debt (shortcuts documented?) 2 observations documented
6 Security (no secrets exposed, guards in place) N/A No secrets
7 Breaking changes (backward compat, migrations) Additive only — new workflows and new glossary terms
8 Style & standards (code style, conventions) Consistent with existing workflow style (plan.md, handoff.md)
9 Observations collected (executor reported findings) 2 valid observations

Verification Details

# Acceptance Criterion Result
1 .tfw/workflows/release.md with YAML frontmatter + complete process ✅ 7 steps, description frontmatter present
2 .tfw/workflows/update.md with 🟢🟡🔴 categorization ✅ 8 steps, categorization table in Step 3
3 .agent/workflows/tfw-release.md identical Compare-Object returned no diff
4 .agent/workflows/tfw-update.md identical Compare-Object returned no diff
5 conventions.md §8 includes release + update ✅ Table has 5 rows (plan, handoff, resume, release, update)
6 conventions.md §2 includes RELEASE.md as optional ✅ Listed after KNOWLEDGE.md with _(optional)_ marker
7 glossary.md has 5 new terms ✅ VERSION, CHANGELOG.md, RELEASE.md, tfw-release, tfw-update — all present before §Project-Specific Terms
8 Cross-references valid ✅ All file paths and section references checked

2. Verdict

✅ APPROVE

All deliverables match the TS spec exactly. Adapter copies are byte-identical. Workflow structure is consistent with existing canonical workflows. The tfw-release workflow cleanly separates general process from project context (RELEASE.md). The tfw-update workflow with 🟢🟡🔴 categorization provides a practical, actionable upgrade process.

3. Tech Debt Collected

# Source Severity File Description Action
TD-7 RF obs. #1 Low .agent/workflows/ No Claude Code or Cursor adapter copies for release/update workflows → backlog (future adapter task)
TD-8 RF obs. #2 Med .tfw/conventions.md §8 docs.md workflow not listed in Workflows table (predates Phase B, from TFW-5) → backlog (resolves TD-4 partially — Phase C should fix this)
