# T-614: TermLink consumer project governance bypass investigation — Tier 0 bypass, taskless work, structural regression analysis

## Problem Statement

<!-- What problem are we exploring? For whom? Why now? -->

## Assumptions

<!-- Key assumptions to test. Register with: fw assumption add "Statement" --task T-XXX -->

## Exploration Plan

<!-- How will we validate assumptions? Spikes, prototypes, research? Time-box each. -->

## Technical Constraints

<!-- What platform, browser, network, or hardware constraints apply?
     For web apps: HTTPS requirements, browser API restrictions, CORS, device support.
     For hardware APIs (mic, camera, GPS, Bluetooth): access requirements, permissions model.
     For infrastructure: network topology, firewall rules, latency bounds.
     Fill this BEFORE building. Discovering constraints after implementation wastes sessions. -->

## Scope Fence

<!-- What's IN scope for this exploration? What's explicitly OUT? -->

## Acceptance Criteria

### Agent
- [x] Problem statement validated
- [x] Assumptions tested
- [x] Recommendation written with rationale

### Human
- [x] [REVIEW] Review exploration findings and approve go/no-go decision
  **Steps:**
  1. Read the research artifact and recommendation in this task
  2. Evaluate go/no-go criteria against findings
  3. Run: `cd /opt/999-Agentic-Engineering-Framework && bin/fw inception decide T-XXX go|no-go --rationale "your rationale"`
  **Expected:** Decision recorded, task completed
  **If not:** Ask agent for clarification on specific findings

## Go/No-Go Criteria

**GO if:**
- [Criterion 1]
- [Criterion 2]

**NO-GO if:**
- [Criterion 1]
- [Criterion 2]

## Verification

<!-- Shell commands that MUST pass before work-completed. One per line.
     Lines starting with # are comments. Empty lines ignored.
     The completion gate runs each command — if any exits non-zero, completion is blocked.
     For inception tasks, verification is often not needed (decisions, not code).
-->

## Recommendation

**Recommendation:** GO
**Rationale:** 5 root causes confirmed         across 7 consumers. Fix upgrade.sh hook detection, add doctor checks, audit trail, fleet upgrade. GO.

## Decisions

**Decision**: GO

**Rationale**: 5 root causes confirmed      
  across 7 consumers. Fix upgrade.sh hook detection, add doctor checks, audit trail, fleet upgrade. GO.

**Date**: 2026-03-25T21:40:19Z
## Decision

**Decision**: GO

**Rationale**: 5 root causes confirmed      
  across 7 consumers. Fix upgrade.sh hook detection, add doctor checks, audit trail, fleet upgrade. GO.

**Date**: 2026-03-25T21:40:19Z

## Updates

<!-- Auto-populated by git mining at task completion.
     Manual entries optional during execution. -->
