## Phase Summary

- bootstrap: Feature classification — multi-round governance gap audit across 15 files
- implement (round 1): state_machine.md HANDEDOFF state, handoff.md guards, ship.md stale refs, hotfix.md tasks, bootstrap.md normalization, INSTALL.md Windows support
- implement (round 2): validate.sh/ps1 backtick fix, test gate check, deploy.sh .githooks sidecar, fix hints
- implement (round 3): app-init.md ADR Index BLOCKER, auth escalation clarity, bootstrap §0a widening, routing.md rows, review.md reverse transition, handoff.md interrupted resume, AGENTS.md HANDEDOFF + tiny-fix exclusions, guardrails §10.3 exclusions
- implement (round 4): app-init.md §2 guard_context_write BLOCKER fix, bootstrap.md footnote GFM fix, handoff.md WIP guard trigger fix
- implement (round 5): validate.sh/ps1 classification-aware LEGAL dict (DEFAULT/STRICT/HOTFIX), project spec template WARN, app-init.md §7 Project Name write, spec-intake.md §3 template resolution via SSoT + glob, current_state.md template Project Name field
- review (round 2): NOT READY — Opus adversarial review (3 agents) found CRITICAL×2 + HIGH×1 in fence/comment injection logic
- implement (round 6): T241 indented-fence regex, T242 order-aware HTML comment, T243 fail-closed suppression (commit 1070457)
- review (round 3): NOT READY — 3A CRITICAL (fence tracking frozen inside section), 3B HIGH-1 (PS1 CRLF), 3C HIGH (H4 reset abusable)
- implement (round 7): T244 unconditional fence/comment tracking, H4 last-drift-entry check, tiny-fix progression exempt, PS1 CRLF fix (commit 006d553)
- review (round 4): NOT READY — 4A MEDIUM (unclosed fence inside section), 4B HIGH×2 (H4 broad pattern, H4 false-positive on normal reclassify path)
- implement (round 8): T245 unterminated fence inside section, H4 structured receipt + count-based resets (commit 4121512)
- review (round 5): NOT READY — 5A HIGH (self-reclassification feature->feature grants free reset)
- implement (round 9): T246 reject same-tier reclassif via capturing group diff check (commit 2210f9c)
- review (round 6): PASS — Opus round 6 confirmed no remaining CRITICAL/HIGH issues
- implement (round 10): 5-agent downstream UX simulation fixes — INSTALL.md Windows -ExecutionPolicy Bypass, T247 receipts-in-fence diagnostic, AGENTS.md SHOULD→MUST for Gate Evidence guard_context_write, stale worklog-format lesson fix + chain rehash, worklog template fence warning, test.md no-runner fallback, stray 0-byte file deleted (commit 72191ab)

## Known Risk

- Work Log was created retroactively (missing during implement phases) — evidence reconstructed from commit history
- Round-3 fixes had 1 CRITICAL (guard_context_write.py wrong invocation) + 2 HIGH defects found by adversarial review
- Round-4+ continuing: T241–T246 fixes across 6 rounds; final Opus PASS (round 6, commit 2210f9c)
- Remaining accepted gaps (documented, not ship-blocking): tiny-fix log with review/handoff receipts not flagged as likely-misclassified; Current Phase header not cross-checked when no ship receipt exists; receipt regex drops 1-3 space-indented lines (fail-safe); H4 accepts non-canonical tier names (fail-safe, no injection possible)

## Drift Log

- Migrated from legacy format (no Work Log existed for this branch — retroactively created during review phase 2026-05-18)
- Re-read: handoff.md §1a — reason: verifying Uncommitted WIP guard trigger condition
- Retroactive plan receipt added 2026-05-18 — plan phase ran implicitly (scope derived from backlog T175+ audit scenarios); formal Gate: plan receipt was not recorded at bootstrap time; back-filled per round-8 adversarial review finding (R7)

## Evidence

- Simulation history T1–T82: 82 scenarios pre-this-session (see prior sessions)
  - Baseline after T82: 93 PASS / 5 WARN / 0 FAIL
- Simulation T83–T174 (92 scenarios, prior session):
  - Bugs fixed: T111 PS1 empty-array falsiness (commit 65ddb19), T154 duplicate Gate Evidence bypass (658db29), T172 M10 false positive for quick-win (c66f589→7071f2e)
  - Baseline: 93 PASS / 5 WARN / 0 FAIL
- T175–T181 code-fence + HTML-comment injection (commit d57a3f6 + 4e3cfea):
  - Fixed: T175 backtick fence pre-section, T178 tilde fence, T179 4-backtick, T181b HTML comment bypass
  - T176–T177/T182–T199: 24 scenarios — table-format class, stress test, charset, NOT READY variants, CRLF, ordering, stale WARN — all correct
- T200–T240 (41 scenarios):
  - Key findings: T208/T210 — duplicate same-phase fires illegal (no curr!=prev guard in validate.sh)
  - T215 (CLASSIFIED header): H1 fail-closed 6 phases; T216 (NOT_READY skip): incomplete:review
  - T220: ### heading not matched; T221: YAML frontmatter advisory gap (documented, not fixed)
  - T230–T232: Unicode confusable/ZWJ/null byte → all PROTECTED ([A-Za-z] blocks non-ASCII)
  - T233: quick-win NOT_READY→ship → illegal (governance intentional); T237: T135 confirmed
  - T239: quick-win with optional review+test → PASS; T240: feature review→handoff → illegal
  - Baseline throughout: 93 PASS / 5 WARN / 0 FAIL
- T241–T248 (8 scenarios, commit 1070457):
  - T241: 3-space indented fence (unclosed) → suppressed ✓; T241b: closed before heading → parse ok ✓
  - T242: --> then <!-- same line → suppressed ✓; T242b: --> alone → no-op ✓; T242c: <!-- --> same line → no suppression ✓
  - T243: unclosed <!-- → suppressed ✓; T243b: unclosed ``` → suppressed ✓; T243c: no heading → no suppression ✓
  - Baseline: 93 PASS / 5 WARN / 0 FAIL (validate.sh run confirmed)
- T244+H4+tiny-fix (commit 006d553):
  - T244a: fenced receipt inside Gate Evidence → NOT collected ✓
  - T244b: real receipt after closed fence inside section → collected ✓
  - T244c: fence opens in section, closes outside (parity leak) → prevented ✓
  - T244d: 3-space indented fence inside section → fake masked, real collected ✓
  - T244e: HTML comment inside section → fake masked, real collected ✓
  - H4a: old Reclassif entry + later entries → reset NOT triggered ✓
  - H4b: Reclassif as last entry → reset triggered ✓; H4c/H4d: edge cases ✓
  - tiny-fix bootstrap→implement → ok (exempt) ✓; feature same → still illegal ✓
  - Baseline: 93 PASS / 5 WARN / 0 FAIL
- Post-ship rounds 21–22 (HEAD 45b4be4): Round 21 Opus PASS (1/2) — fix verified correct, MEDIUM-1 (continue skips 9 secondary checks) confirmed non-verdict-divergent. Round 22 Opus PASS (2/2) — behavioral test confirmed both platforms exit 1 on masked-receipt worklog; 2/2 consecutive achieved. PR #104 cleared for merge.
- Post-ship round 20 implement (commit 45b4be4): validate.ps1 T243/T245/T247 `exit 0` → `$gateProgressionIllegal++; continue` (CRITICAL-1 found by Round 19 Opus parity audit). Round 19: NOT READY. Round 20 = implement.
- Post-ship rounds 18–19: Round 18 Opus PASS (1/2). Round 19 Opus NOT READY — CRITICAL-1 validate.ps1 loop-termination bypass. Consecutive-PASS counter reset to 0.
- Post-ship rounds 15–17 (commits b6738f7 → 2cd6acd): deploy.sh .githooks scaffold tier; CHANGELOG validator entries; worklog template Resume alignment; adr.md path-prefix + section ref fix; adr-tech-stack.md applies_to list syntax; AGENTS.md tiny-fix HANDEDOFF clause; compact index rehash. Round 17 Opus: PASS.
- Post-ship rounds 12–14 (commits be02c42 → 48f7b28): ACX shim check was vacuous PASS (validate.sh -d→-f, validate.ps1 Container→Leaf, CRLF strip); routing.md §5 + bootstrap.md §6 v5→v1; test.md L117 xref; behavioral test confirmed FAIL path live. Round 14 Opus: PASS (no findings).
- Implement round 11 — 5 downstream simulation agents + 3 Opus adversarial review rounds (commits f63c5e6 → af9d911):
  - Fixed: INSTALL.md Windows bash dependency clarified, T247 receipts-in-fence diagnostic (2 full rewrites: backtick fix, unmasked_receipt/masked_receipt logic, in-loop tracking)
  - test.md no-test-runner fallback: hotfix → sign-off-required group, fallback terminal step 6, Gate 2 exception (quick-win/tiny-fix only), step 5 tier-scoped receipt, STOP+surface prompt
  - bootstrap.md §3.7: removed "include in Next:" for feature chain; chain → Work Log Task Description only
  - AGENTS.md SHOULD→MUST reverted + explanatory note; lesson chain rehashed (×2); worklog template fence warning; compact index regenerated (×2)
  - All fixes: 93 PASS / 5 WARN / 0 FAIL throughout

## Test Gate Results

- Validator: `bash .agentcortex/bin/validate.sh` → 80 PASS / 4 WARN / 0 FAIL (post-ship state; WARN count dropped from 5→4 after routing/template fixes)
- Behavioral test: injected fake-test-skill stub (no SKILL.md) → FAIL confirmed; restored → PASS 80/4/0 confirmed
- Test type: governance-only change — no executable unit tests; validator is the sole automated test suite
- AC coverage: all validator scenarios T175–T247 confirmed passing; test.md/bootstrap.md behavioral changes validated via 3 Opus adversarial review passes
- Gate receipt: `- Gate: test | Verdict: PASS | Classification: feature | Timestamp: 2026-05-18T23:45:00Z`
