## Task Ledger

| ID | Status | Task | Evidence | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 1.1 | done | Add observed-friction guidance to HEURISTIC_SYSTEM | `HEURISTIC_SYSTEM.md`; `tests/test_heuristic_system_docs.py` | Added dual trigger, triage outcomes, checklist, and CLI validator example. |
| 1.2 | done | Update retained-record routing docs | `heuristic-system/README.md`; `heuristic-system/error-inbox/README.md`; `tests/test_heuristic_system_docs.py` | Added observed-friction routing while preserving curated inbox and archive semantics. |
| 1.3 | done | Preserve narrow heuristic workflow skill boundaries | `skills/workflows/heuristic-system/README.md`; `skills/workflows/heuristic-system/heuristic-error-inbox/SKILL.md`; `tests/test_heuristic_system_docs.py` | Clarified that inbox lifecycle stays narrow and routes implementation work elsewhere. |
| 2.1 | done | Update skill usage runbook boundaries | `docs/runbooks/skills/SKILL_USAGE_RECORDING_V1.md`; `tests/test_heuristic_system_docs.py`; `tests/test_skill_usage_record_validator.py` | Documented skill-bound friction in `failures` and non-skill friction triage. |
| 2.2 | done | Keep the skill-usage primitive policy-free | `skills/tools/workflow-evidence/skill-usage/SKILL.md`; `tests/test_heuristic_system_docs.py` | Kept primitive as deterministic writer, not observed-friction policy engine. |
| 2.3 | done | Add an explicit motivating example without expanding scope | `HEURISTIC_SYSTEM.md`; `docs/runbooks/skills/SKILL_USAGE_RECORDING_V1.md`; `tests/test_heuristic_system_docs.py` | Added compact validator-friction examples without implementing plan-tooling changes. |
| 3.1 | done | Run focused validation and fix drift | targeted tests; markdown; docs freshness | Initial validation drift was fixed, then focused checks passed. |
| 3.2 | done | Validate plan executability and grouping | `plan-tooling validate`; `to-json`; `batches`; `split-prs` | Each sprint produced usable plan-tooling output. |
| 3.3 | done | Run final repository gate and record follow-up boundary | `scripts/check.sh --all` | Full maintenance gate passed; helper/hook automation remains out of scope. |

## Validation

| Command | Status | Summary | Artifact |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `scripts/check.sh --tests -- -k "heuristic_system or skill_usage"` | pass | 39 focused tests passed. | `/Users/terry/.agents/out/tests/script-coverage/summary.md` |
| `scripts/check.sh --markdown` | pass | Markdown lint passed. | n/a |
| `scripts/check.sh --docs` | pass | Docs freshness audit passed. | n/a |
| `plan-tooling validate --file docs/plans/observed-friction-trigger/observed-friction-trigger-plan.md` | pass | Plan bundle validation passed. | n/a |
| `plan-tooling to-json --file docs/plans/observed-friction-trigger/observed-friction-trigger-plan.md --sprint 1..3` | pass | Each sprint emitted usable JSON. | n/a |
| `plan-tooling batches --file docs/plans/observed-friction-trigger/observed-friction-trigger-plan.md --sprint 1..3` | pass | Each sprint emitted batches; Sprint 2 retained the known `tests/test_heuristic_system_docs.py` overlap signal. | n/a |
| `plan-tooling split-prs --file docs/plans/observed-friction-trigger/observed-friction-trigger-plan.md --scope sprint --sprint 1..3 --strategy auto --default-pr-grouping group --format json` | pass | Each sprint mapped to per-sprint PR grouping. | n/a |
| `git diff --check` | pass | No whitespace errors. | n/a |
| `scripts/check.sh --all` | pass | Full repository gate passed with 817 tests. | `/Users/terry/.agents/out/tests/script-coverage/summary.md` |

## Session Log

### 2026-05-19 07:57 CST

- Read: plan/source bundle; `HEURISTIC_SYSTEM.md`;
  `docs/runbooks/skills/SKILL_USAGE_RECORDING_V1.md`;
  `heuristic-system/README.md`; `heuristic-system/error-inbox/README.md`;
  heuristic-system workflow skill docs; skill-usage tool skill docs; focused
  heuristic-system and skill-usage tests.
- Changed: added observed-friction policy, retained-record routing,
  skill-bound failure guidance, narrow workflow skill wording, focused tests,
  and this execution state.
- Validated: pending.
- Blocked by: none.
- Next: run targeted tests, docs checks, plan-tooling checks, full gate, specialist review, and PR delivery.

### 2026-05-19 08:00 CST

- Read: validation output from focused tests, markdown/docs checks,
  plan-tooling, `git diff --check`, and `scripts/check.sh --all`.
- Changed: fixed validation drift in `heuristic-error-inbox/SKILL.md`,
  `tests/test_heuristic_system_docs.py`, and this execution state.
- Validated: focused tests passed; markdown passed; docs freshness passed;
  plan-tooling validate/to-json/batches/split-prs passed; `git diff --check`
  passed; `scripts/check.sh --all` passed with 817 tests.
- Blocked by: none.
- Next: run code-review-specialists, then commit and deliver through GitHub PR.
