# OBPI-0.0.19-05-docs-bdd-closeout: Docs, BDD, and Heavy-lane closeout

## ADR Item

- **Source ADR:** `docs/design/adr/foundation/ADR-0.0.19-pre-execution-reasoning-walkthrough/ADR-0.0.19-pre-execution-reasoning-walkthrough.md`
- **Checklist Item:** #5 — Docs + BDD + Heavy-lane closeout. Manpage, command doc, runbook entries, governance runbook note; BDD scenarios covering all invocation paths + failure modes; Gate 5 attestation with ARB receipts for lint/typecheck/tests/coverage/mkdocs and human `gz attest`.

**Status:** Draft

## Objective

Close out the ADR with the documentation covenant and BDD acceptance coverage. This OBPI ships: (a) a command manpage at `docs/user/manpages/gz-justify.md`; (b) a command doc at `docs/user/commands/justify.md`; (c) runbook entries in `docs/user/runbook.md` for operator flows (invoke on GHI, invoke on OBPI, invoke with `--draft`, validate filled scaffold); (d) a governance-runbook note in `docs/governance/governance_runbook.md` describing when `gz-justify` suggestions appear in `gz-adr-evaluate` and `gz-obpi-pipeline`; (e) BDD scenarios at `features/justify.feature` covering every invocation path and every failure mode with step definitions at `features/steps/justify_steps.py`; (f) Heavy-lane Gate 5 attestation package at ADR-level closeout: ARB receipts for lint/typecheck/tests/coverage/mkdocs plus human `gz attest`.

## Lane

**Heavy** — Delivers the Gate 3 (docs), Gate 4 (BDD), and Gate 5 (human attestation) evidence required for Heavy-lane closeout per `.gzkit/rules/gate5-runbook-code-covenant.md`.

> Heavy is reserved for command/API/schema/runtime-contract changes.

## Allowed Paths

- `docs/user/manpages/gz-justify.md` — new manpage
- `docs/user/commands/justify.md` — new command doc
- `docs/user/runbook.md` — extend with operator flow section; no other sections modified
- `docs/governance/governance_runbook.md` — extend with governance-flow note about upstream suggestions
- `docs/user/commands/index.md` (or equivalent command index) — add justify entry if index file exists; verify via Glob before editing
- `features/justify.feature` — new BDD feature file
- `features/steps/justify_steps.py` — new step definitions
- `tests/cli/test_justify_manpage.py` — assert manpage exists and covers required sections (usage, options, exit codes, examples)
- `docs/design/adr/foundation/ADR-0.0.19-pre-execution-reasoning-walkthrough/ADR-CLOSEOUT-FORM.md` — updated to reflect all gates complete before `gz attest`
- `docs/design/adr/foundation/ADR-0.0.19-pre-execution-reasoning-walkthrough/ADR-0.0.19-pre-execution-reasoning-walkthrough.md` — Evidence section extended with closeout commands and receipt IDs
- `docs/design/adr/foundation/ADR-0.0.19-pre-execution-reasoning-walkthrough/EVALUATION_SCORECARD.md` — refresh if re-evaluation is warranted at closeout

## Denied Paths

- `src/gzkit/justify/**`, `src/gzkit/commands/justify_cmd.py`, `src/gzkit/cli/parser_artifacts.py` — implementation is locked by OBPI-01/02/03
- `.gzkit/skills/**` — skill authoring is owned by OBPI-04; this OBPI does not alter skill bodies
- `.claude/skills/**`, `.github/skills/**` — regenerated mirrors
- Any file mutation outside Allowed Paths
- New third-party dependencies

## Requirements (FAIL-CLOSED)

1. REQUIREMENT: `docs/user/manpages/gz-justify.md` covers the required manpage sections: NAME, SYNOPSIS, DESCRIPTION, OPTIONS (all flags from OBPI-02 + the `validate` subverb's flags from OBPI-03), EXIT STATUS (0/1/2 with meanings), EXAMPLES (at least three: GHI invocation, OBPI invocation with `--save`, `validate` invocation), SEE ALSO (at minimum: `gz-adr-evaluate`, `gz-obpi-pipeline`). Lines ≤80 chars per CLI doctrine.
2. REQUIREMENT: `docs/user/commands/justify.md` follows the structure of other command docs in the same directory (identify an exemplar via Glob and mirror its heading layout). Contains: overview, usage, anchor types table, flag table, exit-code table, operator-flow example, troubleshooting note for `--draft-slug` required.
3. REQUIREMENT: `docs/user/runbook.md` is extended with a new section describing when an operator should invoke justify, the three anchor types, and the validate flow. The section integrates with the existing runbook narrative; it is NOT a standalone appendix.
4. REQUIREMENT: `docs/governance/governance_runbook.md` is extended with a governance-flow note explaining that `gz-adr-evaluate` low-score output suggests `justify`, and that `gz-obpi-pipeline` at Stage 1→2 suggests `justify` when confidence is low. Cites Prime Directive invariant 11.
5. REQUIREMENT: `features/justify.feature` contains Gherkin scenarios covering: (a) invoke on GHI with mocked `gh`; (b) invoke on OBPI against a fixture brief; (c) invoke with `--draft` + `--draft-slug` + `--save`; (d) reject ADR anchor with exit 1; (e) reject `--draft` + `--save` without `--draft-slug`; (f) `validate` on complete fixture exits 0; (g) `validate` on incomplete fixture exits 1 with unfilled ordinals; (h) `validate` on malformed fixture exits 2. Each scenario tagged with a `@REQ-0.0.19-05-<NN>` identifier per `.gzkit/rules/tests.md`.
6. REQUIREMENT: `features/steps/justify_steps.py` implements every Given/When/Then from the feature file. Step definitions mock `gh` and filesystem where appropriate but exercise the real CLI subcommand end-to-end (per the two-runner contract in `.gzkit/rules/tests.md`).
7. REQUIREMENT: `uv run mkdocs build --strict` exits 0 after all doc changes.
8. REQUIREMENT: `uv run behave features/justify.feature` exits 0 with all scenarios passing.
9. REQUIREMENT: `uv run gz cli audit` exits 0 with `justify` and `justify validate` covered across manpage, command doc, and index.
10. REQUIREMENT: Before attestation, the following ARB receipts are recorded in the ADR's Evidence section: `arb-ruff-*`, `arb-step-typecheck-*`, `arb-step-unittest-*`, `arb-step-coverage-*`, `arb-step-mkdocs-*`. Receipt IDs are quoted inline per `.gzkit/rules/attestation-enrichment.md`.
11. REQUIREMENT: `uv run gz adr audit-check ADR-0.0.19` exits 0 before attestation.
12. REQUIREMENT: Human attestation via `uv run gz closeout ADR-0.0.19` and `uv run gz attest ADR-0.0.19 --status completed` completes successfully, with attestation text matching the pattern from `.gzkit/rules/attestation-enrichment.md` (user's verbatim words + em-dash enrichment citing concrete session facts).
13. REQUIREMENT: The ADR Attestation Block table in `ADR-0.0.19-pre-execution-reasoning-walkthrough.md` is updated with: term `0.0.19`, status `Completed`, attestor name, date, and the user-verbatim reason.

> STOP-on-BLOCKERS: if prerequisites are missing, print a BLOCKERS list and halt.

## Acceptance Criteria

- [ ] REQ-0.0.19-05-01: Given `docs/user/manpages/gz-justify.md` after this OBPI lands, when the file is parsed, then it contains the required manpage sections (NAME, SYNOPSIS, DESCRIPTION, OPTIONS, EXIT STATUS, EXAMPLES, SEE ALSO) with at least three examples and documented exit codes 0/1/2.
- [ ] REQ-0.0.19-05-02: Given `docs/user/commands/justify.md`, when compared to the command-doc exemplar, then it uses the same heading layout and includes the anchor-types table, flag table, and exit-code table required by REQ-02.
- [ ] REQ-0.0.19-05-03: Given `docs/user/runbook.md` after extension, when scanned, then it contains a new operator-flow section describing the three anchor types and the validate flow, integrated into the existing narrative (not a standalone appendix).
- [ ] REQ-0.0.19-05-04: Given `docs/governance/governance_runbook.md` after extension, when scanned, then it contains the governance-flow note citing Prime Directive invariant 11 and naming both upstream skills (`gz-adr-evaluate`, `gz-obpi-pipeline`).
- [ ] REQ-0.0.19-05-05: Given `features/justify.feature`, when parsed by behave, then it contains exactly the eight scenarios specified in REQ-05, each tagged with a unique `@REQ-0.0.19-05-<NN>` identifier.
- [ ] REQ-0.0.19-05-06: Given `uv run -m behave features/justify.feature`, when it runs, then exit code is 0 and all eight scenarios pass.
- [ ] REQ-0.0.19-05-07: Given `uv run mkdocs build --strict`, when it runs after all doc changes, then exit code is 0 with no warnings.
- [ ] REQ-0.0.19-05-08: Given `uv run gz cli audit`, when it runs, then exit code is 0 with justify (both parent verb and validate subverb) covered across manpage, command doc, and index.
- [ ] REQ-0.0.19-05-09: Given the ADR at closeout time, when ARB-wrapped canonical QA commands run (lint, typecheck, unittest, coverage, mkdocs), then five corresponding receipts exist under `artifacts/receipts/` and their IDs are quoted inline in the ADR's Evidence section.
- [ ] REQ-0.0.19-05-10: Given `uv run gz adr audit-check ADR-0.0.19`, when it runs, then exit code is 0 and all OBPI acceptance evidence is present.
- [ ] REQ-0.0.19-05-11: Given `uv run gz closeout ADR-0.0.19`, then `uv run gz attest ADR-0.0.19 --status completed` with an attestation string that contains the operator's verbatim words followed by an em-dash and session-grounded enrichment per `.gzkit/rules/attestation-enrichment.md`, when executed, then both commands exit 0.
- [ ] REQ-0.0.19-05-12: Given the ADR's Attestation Block table after closeout, when read, then the row for term `0.0.19` shows status `Completed`, a real attestor name, the ISO-date, and the reason string.

## Evidence

### Gate 1 (ADR)

- [ ] Intent and scope recorded

### Gate 2 (TDD — Red-Green-Refactor)

```text
# Paste manpage-test output here
```

### Code Quality

```text
# Paste lint/format/type check output here
```

### Gate 3 (Docs)

```text
# Paste mkdocs build strict output and gz cli audit output
```

### Gate 4 (BDD)

```text
# Paste behave output showing 8 scenarios passing
```

### Gate 5 (Human)

```text

```

### Value Narrative

**Before:** Implementation and skill wiring complete from OBPI-01 through OBPI-04, but Gate 3/4/5 evidence missing — Heavy-lane ceremony incomplete and the ADR cannot be closed out.

**After:** The full runbook-code covenant is satisfied: operators have documentation (manpage, command doc, runbook), BDD scenarios pin operator-facing behavior, and a human attestation with ARB receipt citations records the final sign-off. ADR-0.0.19 moves from Draft to Completed.

### Key Proof


uv run gz covers OBPI-0.0.19-05 reports OBPI-0.0.19-05 12/12 (100.0%); uv run -m behave features/justify.feature reports 8 scenarios passed 0 failed (28 steps); uv run gz cli audit reports Cross-coverage 86/86 commands fully covered; uv run -m unittest tests.cli.test_justify_manpage -v reports Ran 25 tests OK.
