## Build & Tests Execution

**Rust formatting**: ✅ Passed  
Command: `cargo fmt --all -- --check`

**Rust clippy**: ✅ Passed  
Command: `cargo clippy --all-targets -- -D warnings`

**Rust tests**: ✅ Passed  
Command: `cargo test`

Notes:

- `cargo test` exited successfully and showed the updated runtime suite running, including new
  cost-governance tests such as `session_scope_is_evaluated_with_day_and_month_limits`,
  `mission_scope_can_govern_request_when_more_restrictive`,
  `mission_scope_blocks_metered_call_independently_from_session_budget`, and
  `token_budget_denial_is_reported_separately_from_action_rate_governance`.
- Output was truncated by tool limits, but the command completed with exit code 0.

**Dashboard targeted cost specs**: ✅ Passed  
Command:
`pnpm exec vitest --run --environment happy-dom src/composables/useCostGovernance.spec.ts src/components/config/CostOverview.spec.ts`

Result: 2 test files passed, 9 tests passed, 0 failed.

**Dashboard targeted cost-file check**: ✅ Passed  
Command:
`pnpm exec biome check src/composables/useCostGovernance.ts src/composables/useCostGovernance.spec.ts src/components/config/CostOverview.vue src/components/config/CostOverview.spec.ts src/composables/useAdmin.ts src/types/admin-config.ts`

Result: completed successfully.

**Coverage**: ➖ Not configured  
`openspec/config.yaml` does not define `rules.verify.coverage_threshold`.

**Unrelated branch noise**: broader dashboard package-level scripts are still known to have failures
in unrelated pre-existing areas per branch context. They were not treated as change blockers because
the changed dashboard cost files have passing targeted tests/checks and the runtime validation gates
are green.

## Correctness (Static — Structural Evidence)

| Budget Scope Model                                      | ✅ Implemented | `CostConfig` now includes `session_limit_usd`, `UsagePeriod` includes `Mission`, and `CostTracker::check_budget_with_mission_scope()` evaluates session/day/month plus mission when applicable.                   |
| Warning and Hard-Block Semantics                        | ✅ Implemented | `BudgetCheck`, `BudgetEvaluation`, pre-flight enforcement, warning emission, and next-call hard block behavior are wired through runtime and webhook paths.                                                       |
| Override Policy and Audit Trail                         | ⚠️ Partial    | Local and remote next-request overrides are implemented and audited in append-only storage, but there is still no dedicated query API/report surface for persisted cost audit history after remote admin actions. |
| Required Product Surfaces                               | ✅ Implemented | CLI, gateway cost endpoints, dashboard live usage/history surface, session summary, and observability outputs all exist and are wired to runtime-owned state.                                                     |
| Separation of Governance Domains                        | ✅ Implemented | Token-spend and action-rate governance are separated in naming and user-facing error labeling; deprecated alias handling for `max_cost_per_day_cents` is present.                                                 |
| Baseline Truthfulness and Remaining Productization Work | ✅ Implemented | Artifacts accurately describe Issue A as baseline and the rest of the delivered product surfaces as the work of this change.                                                                                      |

## Coherence (Design)

| Decision                                                                  | Followed? | Notes                                                                                                                    |
|---------------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Split token-spend governance from action-rate governance                  | ✅ Yes     | Cost evaluation lives in `cost/*`; action-rate semantics remain in `SecurityPolicy` with renamed `max_actions_per_hour`. |
| Runtime evaluates budgets once; surfaces consume results                  | ✅ Yes     | Agent loop performs evaluation centrally; CLI, gateway, and dashboard consume runtime summaries/results.                 |
| Warning, block, and override form an audited state machine                | ✅ Yes     | Warning/exceeded/override states and audit events are implemented.                                                       |
| Admin config and operational cost APIs stay separate                      | ✅ Yes     | Config patching remains under admin config; operational usage/reset/override endpoints live in gateway cost handlers.    |
| Mission governance adapts to runtime cost state instead of duplicating it | ✅ Yes     | Mission scope is derived from runtime session spend deltas and evaluated alongside other scopes.                         |
| Deprecate the misleading config key with a compatibility alias            | ✅ Yes     | Deprecated alias normalization and metadata remain present across config/admin surfaces.                                 |

## Issues Found

### CRITICAL

None.

### WARNING

1. **Remote admin limit changes are not yet cost-audited through a dedicated query/report surface.**
   The branch supports remote admin override/reset flows and cost config patching, but there is
   still no dedicated API/report endpoint for querying persisted cost audit records independently.
2. **Governance-domain separation has strong labeling coverage, but counter-isolation is only
   partially proven.** Tests verify token-spend denials are not mislabeled and webhook payloads
   carry `governance_domain=token_spend`, but there is not a direct regression test asserting
   action-rate counters remain unchanged after token-budget denials.
3. **Broader dashboard package failures remain unrelated branch noise.** Changed cost files pass
   targeted tests/checks; broader dashboard package instability outside the cost-governance slice
   should be handled separately.

### SUGGESTION

1. Add a dedicated `cost audit` read endpoint or reporting projection so remote admin override/reset
   lifecycle can be queried directly.
2. Add one focused regression test asserting token-budget denials do not mutate action-rate
   counters.
3. Consider adding an explicit end-to-end test that compares CLI summary classification with
   gateway/dashboard classification from the same fixture data.

## Verdict

**PASS WITH WARNINGS**

The Phase 6 follow-up work closed the previous FAIL blockers: explicit session/mission scopes are
now implemented, multi-scope evaluation is in place, spec coverage is materially improved, and the
runtime validation gates are green. Remaining issues are real but non-blocking for this change and
are either follow-up product hardening or unrelated branch noise.
