## Baseline Metrics At a Glance

### Test Suite
```
Total:      5,009 tests across 551 files
Pass Rate:  4,982 passing (99.46%)
Failures:   4 (all known/expected)
Skipped:    23
Time:       ~60 seconds
Gate:       ✅ PASSING (27ms)
```

### Known Test Failures (Expected)
1. M1 Dispatcher Validation (RED phase design)
2. SkillResolverService confidence sorting (M6 issue)
3. SkillResolverService empty resolution (M6 issue)
4. Additional resolver tests (M6-related)

**None of these block v0.10.0 release** — all have Phase 1.5 improvement paths

### Key Mechanism Baselines

| Mechanism | Verdict | Baseline Metric | Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| M4: Healing | ✅ KEEP | Recovery Rate | 86.7% |
| M5: Context Curation | ✅ KEEP | Token Savings | 38.6% |
| M11: Diagnostics | ✅ KEEP | Leak Detection TP | 100% |
| M12: Provider Hooks | ✅ KEEP | Hook Fire Rate | 100% |
| M13: Guards | ✅ KEEP | Guard Accuracy | 100% |

### CI/CD Health
```
Workflows:        4 (all enabled)
Concurrency:      ✅ Active (saves 6min per redundant push)
Caching:          ✅ Active (40% time savings)
North Star Gate:  ✅ PASSING
Baseline Enforc.: ✅ BASELINE-UPDATE trailer required
CI Health Score:  95%
```

## Using Baselines for Phase 1.5 Comparison

### Process

1. **Run Phase 1.5 improvements** (M3, M6, M7, M8, M10)
2. **Capture new metrics** using same methodology as baseline
3. **Compare against baselines** in this directory
4. **Document improvements** in Phase 1.5 final report
5. **Update CHANGELOG** with metric deltas

### Template for Phase 1.5 Comparison

```markdown
## Phase 1.5 Results vs. v0.10.0 Baseline

| Metric | v0.10.0 Baseline | Phase 1.5 | Delta | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Test Pass Rate | 99.46% (4,982/5,009) | X% | +/-Xpp | Gate must remain ≥99.5% |
| M4 Recovery Rate | 86.7% | X% | +/-Xpp | Phase 2 target: ≥90% |
| M5 Token Savings | 38.6% | X% | +/-Xpp | Target: ≥40% |
| M7 Field Activation | 3/14 | X/14 | +/-X | Target: ≥8/14 |
| CI Duration | ~60s | Xs | +/-Xs | Optimize if >90s |
```

## Reproducibility

All baselines are reproducible via documented commands. See `v0.10.0-BASELINE-SUMMARY.md` § Reproducibility Commands.

**Quick verification:**
```bash
# Verify test count and pass rate
bun test 2>&1 | tail -5

# Verify gate status
bun run gate:check

# Verify Phase 1 validation
grep "^✅\|^🔄\|^❌" harness-reports/phase-1-mechanism-validation-2026-05-04.md
```

## Gate Baseline File (Critical)

**File:** `integration-control-flow-baseline.json` (9.8KB)

This is the North Star Gate reference baseline. It contains 50+ gate test scenarios that CI validates against on every push/PR.

**How it works:**
1. Developers run `bun run gate:update` when intentional changes require baseline update
2. CI enforces BASELINE-UPDATE: trailer on commit message
3. Prevents accidental gate drifts

**Do not manually edit** — always use `bun run gate:update`

## Next Steps

### Immediate (v0.10.0 Release)
- ✅ Baseline established and documented
- ⏳ v0.10.0 published to npm (via CI changesets workflow)
- ⏳ @reactive-agents/diagnose published (CP0 before tag)

### Phase 1.5 (Parallel to v0.10.0 Release)
- Spike M3: Verifier-Retry context tuning
- Spike M6: Skill persistence layer
- Spike M7: Calibration field activation
- Spike M8: Sub-agent effectiveness metrics
- Spike M10: Memory multi-session scenarios

**Compare Phase 1.5 results against these baselines.**

### Phase 2 (After Phase 1.5)
- Orchestration Decomposition (W23–W28)
- LOC reduction ≥5% (after improvement spikes)
- New mechanism integration tests
