# Beads ↔ Ledger Reconciliation Report

**Generated**: 2026-04-22T19:05:00Z  
**Reconciliation Script**: scripts/reconcile_beads_ledger.sh  
**Task**: bd-wz2sg.2 (TL-T2: Initial reconciliation — file beads for every open critical/high ledger entry)

## Summary

The reconciliation script identified **3 orphan ledger gaps** that require corresponding beads to prevent bead-completion illusion.

## Orphan Gaps Requiring Beads

### 1. gap-json-auto-lifecycle-events
- **Severity**: high
- **Area**: json-mode
- **Expected Owner Bead**: bd-2my4b (missing/closed)
- **Description**: JSON mode auto lifecycle events (compaction, retry) need schema and ordering parity with TS
- **Impact**: Automation consuming JSON streams can mis-handle lifecycle transitions

**Required Bead Creation**:
```bash
br create --title "JSON-T1: Auto lifecycle events parity — close gap-json-auto-lifecycle-events" \
  --priority 0 --type task --labels json-mode,dropin,lifecycle,g05 \
  "JSON mode auto lifecycle events (compaction, retry) need schema and ordering parity with TS implementation. Automation consuming JSON streams can mis-handle lifecycle transitions. References gap-json-auto-lifecycle-events in dropin-parity-gap-ledger.json."
```

### 2. gap-json-tool-and-extension-ui-events  
- **Severity**: high
- **Area**: json-mode
- **Expected Owner Bead**: bd-359pl (missing/closed)
- **Description**: Tool execution and extension UI event parity validation
- **Impact**: Extension-driven UX flows can diverge or fail in JSON/RPC integrations

**Required Bead Creation**:
```bash
br create --title "JSON-T2: Tool and extension UI events parity — close gap-json-tool-and-extension-ui-events" \
  --priority 0 --type task --labels json-mode,dropin,extension-ui,g05 \
  "Tool execution event names and extension_ui_request/response round-trips need validated parity with TS. Extension-driven UX flows can diverge or fail in JSON/RPC integrations. References gap-json-tool-and-extension-ui-events in dropin-parity-gap-ledger.json."
```

### 3. gap-tool-io-limit-divergence
- **Severity**: high  
- **Area**: tools
- **Expected Owner Bead**: bd-2xalc (missing/closed)
- **Description**: Tool I/O limit defaults need alignment with TS behavior
- **Impact**: Same tool call can truncate or fail differently, breaking automation assumptions

**Required Bead Creation**:
```bash
br create --title "TOOLS-T1: I/O limit divergence alignment — close gap-tool-io-limit-divergence" \
  --priority 0 --type task --labels tools,dropin,limits,g05 \
  "Tool I/O limit defaults need alignment with TS DEFAULT_MAX_BYTES behavior. Same tool call can truncate or fail differently, breaking automation assumptions. References gap-tool-io-limit-divergence in dropin-parity-gap-ledger.json."
```

## Reconciliation Status

- **Total Open Critical/High Gaps**: 6  
- **Matched Gaps with Beads**: 3
- **Orphan Gaps**: 3 (require bead creation)
- **Bead Orphans**: 0

## Next Actions

1. Execute the three `br create` commands above to create missing beads
2. Update gap ledger entries with new bead IDs as `owner_issue_primary`  
3. Re-run reconciliation script to verify 0 orphans
4. Close bd-wz2sg.2 task

## Verification Command

After bead creation:
```bash
./scripts/reconcile_beads_ledger.sh
# Expected: exit code 0 with "no orphans found"
```

*This report addresses the bead-completion illusion by ensuring all critical/high gaps have corresponding active beads for tracking.*
