# Self-Coherence Report — v3.14.7

**Issue:** #97 — Reduce review round-trips: pre-flight checks + automated validation
**Branch:** claude/3.14.7-97-review-preflight
**Mode:** MCI — changes to development method text (CDD skill, review skill, post-release skill), no runtime code

## Pipeline Compliance

| # | Step | Status | Evidence |
|---|------|--------|----------|
| 0 | Bootstrap | done | commit 1: version directory stubs |
| 1 | Branch | done | §1.5 pre-flight: v3.14.7 > v3.14.4 (latest tag), no existing branch for #97, no open PR for #97 |
| 2 | Gap | done | PR body coherence contract |
| 3 | Mode | done | MCI — process text only |
| 4 | Artifacts | done | commit 2: CDD + review skills; commit 4: post-release skill + review taxonomy + authority fix |
| 5 | Self-coherence | done | this file (updated after review round 1) |
| 6 | Review | round 1 done | 5 findings, all addressed in commit 4 |
| 7 | Gate | pending | — |

## Triadic Assessment

- **α A** — All new sections follow existing skill patterns (numbered subsections, ❌/✅ examples). Finding taxonomy (§5.1) extends severity table naturally. Post-release template now has 5 sections matching 5 procedure steps.
- **β A** — Three-skill alignment: CDD §11.11 defines metrics → review §5.1 defines taxonomy → post-release template + procedure captures both. Authority claim explicitly scoped for new sections pending canonical update.
- **γ A** — Each fix targets an observed failure mode. Metrics enable future self-correction. Authority narrowing prevents future skill/canonical conflicts.

## AC Coverage (#97)

| # | AC | Status | Evidence |
|---|-----|--------|----------|
| 1 | CDD branch pre-flight | Met | §1.5: version, uniqueness, open PR, convention checks |
| 2 | Cross-ref validation in review skill | Met | §2.2.5 + checklist item. Documented as mandatory mechanical step, not yet a script |
| 3 | Scope enumeration in bootstrap | Met | §4.0 scope enumeration paragraph |
| 4 | CDD §11 review quality metrics | Met | §11.11 in CDD + §4 template + Step 5.5 in post-release skill |
| 5 | Review skill finding taxonomy | Met | §5.1 mechanical vs judgment taxonomy with definition table + examples |
| 6 | CDD §11.12 process debt integration | Met | §11.12 wires findings → issues → lag table → freeze |
| 7 | Encoding lag table type column | Met | §11.6 + post-release §Step 3 template both include Type column |

## Review Round 1 — Findings Addressed

| # | Finding | Type | Fix |
|---|---------|------|-----|
| 1 | Post-release template missing review quality section | judgment | Added §4 Review Quality to template + Step 5.5 to procedure |
| 2 | Review skill lacks mechanical/judgment taxonomy | judgment | Added §5.1 Finding Taxonomy |
| 3 | Authority conflict: skill adds rules not in canonical | judgment | Narrowed authority claim with explicit v3.14.7 exception |
| 4 | Snapshot manifest says source is canonical CDD.md | mechanical | Fixed to name actual source (SKILL.md) with note |
| 5 | AC4/AC5 partial coverage | judgment | Addressed by fixes 1–2 above |

1 mechanical / 4 judgment = 20% mechanical. At threshold but not over.

## Known Coherence Debt

- Canonical `docs/gamma/cdd/CDD.md` (v3.13.0) not updated with §1.5, §11.11, §11.12. Authority claim narrowed explicitly. Canonical update is follow-up work.
