-# ADR-005: Pipeline Re-Architecture
-
-**Status:** Proposed  
-**Date:** 2026-03-06  
-**Author:** William Khoo, Nax Dev  
-
----
-
-## Context
-
-The current pipeline covers only part of the story lifecycle. Verification, rectification, regression gating, escalation, hooks, plugin reporters, and interaction triggers all happen outside the pipeline with ad-hoc orchestration scattered across `sequential-executor.ts`, `pipeline-result-handler.ts`, `post-verify.ts`, `run-regression.ts`, `tier-escalation.ts`, and `tier-outcome.ts`.
-
-### Current Architecture Problems
-
-| # | Problem | Where |
-|---|---------|-------|
-| 1 | **Verification in 3+ places** | Pipeline `verify` (scoped), `post-verify.ts` (regression), `run-regression.ts` (deferred), `tdd/verdict.ts` (TDD internal) |
-| 2 | **Post-verify outside pipeline** | `runPostAgentVerification()` called in `handlePipelineSuccess()` — not a stage, no events/logging |
-| 3 | **Routing happens twice** | `routeTask()` in sequential-executor AND `routing` stage inside pipeline |
-| 4 | **Acceptance in 2 places** | Pipeline `acceptance` stage + `acceptanceLoop()` after all stories |
-| 5 | **Pipeline "success" but post-verify fails** | Pipeline returns success, then regression gate fails — misleading |
-| 6 | **Escalation outside pipeline** | `handleTierEscalation()` in result handler + 7 `fireHook` calls in escalation/ |
-| 7 | **No auto-fix** | Lint/typecheck fail → full tier escalation (wasteful) |
-| 8 | **Hooks scattered everywhere** | 20+ `fireHook()` calls across 8 files — no central hook orchestration |
-| 9 | **Plugin reporters scattered** | `getReporters()` called in 5+ places with inconsistent event data |
-| 10 | **Interaction triggers ad-hoc** | `executeTrigger()` called from `pipeline-result-handler.ts`, `precheck-runner.ts` — triggers not tied to stage lifecycle |
-| 11 | **Inconsistent failure reporting** | Verify logs `{exitCode: "TEST_FAILURE"}` (no counts); TDD logs `{remainingFailures: 6}` (has counts) |
-
-### Current Flow (showing all orchestration)
-
-```
-sequential-executor.ts (main loop)
-  for each iteration:
-    1. getNextStory()
-    2. preIterationTierCheck()
-    3. routeTask()                          ← DUPLICATE of pipeline routing stage
-    4. fireHook("on-story-start")           ← hook outside pipeline
-    5. runPipeline(defaultPipeline):
-       queue-check → routing → constitution → context → prompt → optimizer
-       → execution → verify → review → completion → acceptance
-       (completion stage fires "on-story-complete" hook)
-    6. if success → handlePipelineSuccess()
-       → runPostAgentVerification()         ← regression OUTSIDE pipeline
-         → runRectificationLoop()           ← rectification OUTSIDE pipeline
-       → pluginRegistry.getReporters()      ← reporters OUTSIDE pipeline
-    7. if fail → handlePipelineFailure()
-       → handleTierEscalation()             ← escalation OUTSIDE pipeline
-         → fireHook("on-story-fail")        ← hook OUTSIDE pipeline
-         → fireHook("on-pause")             ← hook OUTSIDE pipeline
-       → executeTrigger("human-review")     ← interaction OUTSIDE pipeline
-    8. fireHook("on-session-end")           ← hook OUTSIDE pipeline
-  after all stories:
-    9. run-regression.ts                    ← deferred regression OUTSIDE pipeline
-   10. acceptanceLoop()                     ← acceptance OUTSIDE pipeline
-   11. fireHook("on-complete")              ← hook OUTSIDE pipeline
-   12. pluginRegistry.teardownAll()         ← cleanup OUTSIDE pipeline
-```
-
-**The pipeline only orchestrates steps 5. Everything else is ad-hoc.**
-
----
-
-## Decision
-
-### Principle: Pipeline as Single Source of Truth
-
-Everything that happens to a story goes through the pipeline. Hooks, plugins, interaction triggers, and verification all fire from well-defined stage boundaries — not from scattered call sites.
-
-### Architecture Overview
-
-```
-                     ┌──────────────────────────────┐
-                     │      Pipeline Runner          │
-                     │  (stages + event bus)         │
-                     └──────┬───────────────────────┘
-                            │
-              ┌─────────────┼──────────────┐

-     ┌────────▼───┐  ┌─────▼─────┐  ┌─────▼──────┐
-     │   Stages   │  │  Hooks    │  │  Plugins   │
-     │ (ordered)  │  │ (events)  │  │ (events)   │
-     └────────────┘  └───────────┘  └────────────┘
-```
-
-**Event Bus** — stages emit typed events. Hooks, reporters, and interaction triggers all subscribe to events instead of being called directly.
-
-### Pipeline Event Bus
-
-```ts
-interface PipelineEventBus {
-  // Stage lifecycle (existing, enhanced)
-  on(event: "stage:enter", handler: (stage: string, ctx: PipelineContext) => void): void
-  on(event: "stage:exit", handler: (stage: string, result: StageResult) => void): void
-  
-  // Story lifecycle (replaces scattered fireHook calls)
-  on(event: "story:start", handler: (story: UserStory, ctx: PipelineContext) => void): void
-  on(event: "story:complete", handler: (story: UserStory, metrics: StoryMetrics) => void): void
-  on(event: "story:fail", handler: (story: UserStory, reason: string) => void): void
-  on(event: "story:skip", handler: (story: UserStory, reason: string) => void): void
-  
-  // Verification events (new)
-  on(event: "verify:start", handler: (strategy: string, storyId: string) => void): void
-  on(event: "verify:result", handler: (result: VerifyResult) => void): void
-  on(event: "rectify:attempt", handler: (attempt: number, maxAttempts: number, failures: number) => void): void
-  
-  // Review events (new)
-  on(event: "review:start", handler: (checks: string[]) => void): void
-  on(event: "review:result", handler: (result: ReviewResult) => void): void
-  on(event: "autofix:attempt", handler: (fixType: string, command: string) => void): void
-  
-  // Run lifecycle (replaces runner-level hooks)
-  on(event: "run:start", handler: (feature: string, totalStories: number) => void): void
-  on(event: "run:complete", handler: (summary: RunSummary) => void): void
-  on(event: "run:error", handler: (error: Error) => void): void
-  on(event: "run:pause", handler: (reason: string) => void): void
-  
-  // Escalation events (new — replaces ad-hoc escalation hooks)
-  on(event: "escalation:tier-change", handler: (from: string, to: string, storyId: string) => void): void
-  on(event: "escalation:exhausted", handler: (storyId: string, attempts: number) => void): void
-  
-  // Interaction events (new — replaces ad-hoc trigger calls)
-  on(event: "interaction:request", handler: (trigger: TriggerName, request: InteractionRequest) => void): void
-  on(event: "interaction:response", handler: (trigger: TriggerName, response: InteractionResponse) => void): void
-}
-```
-
-### Subscribers
-
-Each cross-cutting concern subscribes to events once at startup:
-
-```ts
-// Hooks subscriber — replaces 20+ scattered fireHook() calls
-function wireHooks(bus: PipelineEventBus, hooks: HooksConfig, workdir: string) {
-  bus.on("story:start", (story) => fireHook(hooks, "on-story-start", { storyId: story.id }, workdir))
-  bus.on("story:complete", (story) => fireHook(hooks, "on-story-complete", { storyId: story.id }, workdir))
-  bus.on("story:fail", (story, reason) => fireHook(hooks, "on-story-fail", { storyId: story.id, reason }, workdir))
-  bus.on("run:start", () => fireHook(hooks, "on-start", {}, workdir))
-  bus.on("run:complete", () => fireHook(hooks, "on-complete", {}, workdir))
-  bus.on("run:pause", (reason) => fireHook(hooks, "on-pause", { reason }, workdir))
-  bus.on("run:error", (error) => fireHook(hooks, "on-error", { reason: error.message }, workdir))
-}
-
-// Reporter subscriber — replaces 5+ scattered getReporters() calls
-function wireReporters(bus: PipelineEventBus, registry: PluginRegistry) {
-  const reporters = registry.getReporters()
-  bus.on("run:start", (feature, total) => {
-    for (const r of reporters) r.onRunStart?.({ runId, feature, totalStories: total, startTime: new Date().toISOString() })
-  })
-  bus.on("story:complete", (story, metrics) => {
-    for (const r of reporters) r.onStoryComplete?.({ runId, storyId: story.id, status: "completed", ...metrics })
-  })
-  bus.on("run:complete", (summary) => {
-    for (const r of reporters) r.onRunEnd?.({ runId, ...summary })
-  })
-}
-
-// Interaction subscriber — replaces ad-hoc executeTrigger() calls
-function wireInteraction(bus: PipelineEventBus, chain: InteractionChain, config: NaxConfig) {
-  bus.on("escalation:exhausted", async (storyId, attempts) => {
-    if (isTriggerEnabled("human-review", config)) {
-      await executeTrigger("human-review", { featureName, storyId }, config, chain)
-    }
-  })
-  bus.on("verify:result", async (result) => {
-    if (!result.success && isTriggerEnabled("review-gate", config)) {
-      await executeTrigger("review-gate", { featureName, storyId: result.storyId }, config, chain)
-    }
-  })
-  // ... other triggers wired to events
-}
-```
-
-### New Pipeline Stage Sequence
-
-```
- #  Stage              What it does                               Action on fail
---- ------------------ ------------------------------------------ ------------------
- 1  queue-check        Pause/abort/skip                           pause/skip
- 2  routing            Classify + select tier + strategy           continue
- 3  constitution       Load coding standards                      continue
- 4  context            Gather relevant code (+ plugin providers)  continue
- 5  prompt             Assemble prompt                            continue
- 6  optimizer          Reduce tokens (+ plugin optimizers)        continue
- 7  execution          Agent session (TDD or test-after)          escalate
- 8  verify             Scoped tests (smart-runner)                -> rectify
- 9  rectify            Fix test failures (retry loop)             escalate
-10  review             Typecheck + lint (+ plugin reviewers)      -> autofix
-11  autofix            lintFix / formatFix / short agent fix      escalate
-12  regression         Full-suite regression gate (if inline)     -> rectify
-13  completion         Mark done, emit story:complete             continue
-```
-
-**Post-run pipeline** (after all stories):
-
-```
- 1  deferred-regression   Full suite if mode=deferred            rectify or fail
- 2  acceptance            AC tests + fix story generation        fail
-```
-
-### Plugin Integration Points (Consolidated)
-
-Plugins currently integrate at specific stages. This doesn't change, but becomes explicit:
-
-| Plugin Type | Stage | How |
-|-------------|-------|-----|
-| `context-provider` | `context` stage | Stage calls `registry.getContextProviders()` |
-| `optimizer` | `optimizer` stage | Stage calls `registry.getOptimizers()` |
-| `router` | `routing` stage | Stage calls `registry.getRouters()` into strategy chain |
-| `reviewer` | `review` stage | Stage calls `registry.getReviewers()` after built-in checks |
-| `reporter` | Event bus subscriber | Wired at startup, receives all lifecycle events |
-| `agent` | `execution` stage | Stage resolves agent from registry |
-
-### New Stage Action: `retry`
-
-```ts
-type StageAction =
-  | { action: "continue"; cost?: number }
-  | { action: "skip"; reason: string; cost?: number }
-  | { action: "fail"; reason: string; cost?: number }
-  | { action: "escalate"; reason?: string; cost?: number }
-  | { action: "pause"; reason: string; cost?: number }
-  | { action: "retry"; fromStage: string; reason: string; cost?: number }  // NEW
-```
-
-Pipeline runner handles retry:
-
-```ts
-case "retry":
-  const targetIdx = stages.findIndex(s => s.name === result.fromStage);
-  i = targetIdx - 1;
-  retryCount++;
-  if (retryCount > MAX_STAGE_RETRIES) {
-    return { success: false, finalAction: "fail", reason: "Max stage retries exceeded" };
-  }
-  continue;
-```
-
-### Verification Orchestrator
-
-Single orchestrator for ALL test-running:
-
-```
-src/verification/
-  orchestrator.ts           <- single entry point
-  strategies/
-    scoped.ts               <- smart-runner scoped tests
-    regression.ts           <- full-suite regression
-    acceptance.ts           <- acceptance criteria tests
-  rectification.ts          <- shared retry loop
-  executor.ts               <- spawn test command (exists)
-  parser.ts                 <- test output parser (exists)
-  smart-runner.ts           <- test file discovery (exists)
-  types.ts                  <- unified types
-```
-
-Unified result (solves inconsistent failure reporting):
-
-```ts
-interface VerifyResult {
-  success: boolean
-  status: 'PASS' | 'TEST_FAILURE' | 'TIMEOUT' | 'BUILD_ERROR'
-  storyId: string
-  strategy: 'scoped' | 'regression' | 'deferred-regression' | 'acceptance'
-  passCount: number
-  failCount: number
-  totalCount: number
-  failures: StructuredTestFailure[]
-  rawOutput: string
-  durationMs: number
-}
-```
-
-### Review Orchestrator with Auto-Fix
-
-```
-src/review/
-  orchestrator.ts           <- single entry: typecheck + lint + plugin reviewers + auto-fix
-  runner.ts                 <- check execution (exists)
-  types.ts                  <- (exists)
-```
-
-Language-agnostic auto-fix config:
-
-```ts
-quality: {
-  commands: {
-    test: "bun test",                   // existing
-    lint: "biome check",                // existing
-    typecheck: "tsc --noEmit",          // existing
-    lintFix: "biome check --fix",       // NEW
-    formatFix: "biome format --write",  // NEW
-  },
-  autofix: {
-    enabled: true,                      // NEW: master switch
-    maxAttempts: 2,                     // NEW: max auto-fix retries
-  }
-}
-```
-
-### Interaction Integration (Structured)
-
-Interaction triggers fire from specific pipeline events instead of ad-hoc call sites:
-
-| Trigger | Fires on event | Current location (ad-hoc) |
-|---------|---------------|--------------------------|
-| `human-review` | `escalation:exhausted` | `pipeline-result-handler.ts:222` |
-| `cost-exceeded` | `run:cost-check` (new) | manually in sequential-executor |
-| `cost-warning` | `run:cost-check` (new) | manually in sequential-executor |
-| `security-review` | `review:result` (if security plugin fails) | not yet wired |
-| `merge-conflict` | `verify:result` (if git conflict detected) | not yet wired |
-| `max-retries` | `escalation:exhausted` | `pipeline-result-handler.ts` |
-| `pre-merge` | `run:complete` (before merge) | not yet wired |
-| `story-ambiguity` | `story:start` (if ambiguity detected) | not yet wired |
-| `review-gate` | `review:result` (if enabled) | not yet wired |
-
-### Hooks Integration (Structured)
-
-All hooks fire from events — zero direct `fireHook()` calls in stages or executor:
-
-| Hook Event | Pipeline Event | Current call sites (to remove) |
-|------------|---------------|-------------------------------|
-| `on-start` | `run:start` | `run-setup.ts:182` |
-| `on-story-start` | `story:start` | `sequential-executor.ts:120,204` |
-| `on-story-complete` | `story:complete` | `completion.ts:73`, `pipeline-result-handler.ts:160` |
-| `on-story-fail` | `story:fail` | `tier-outcome.ts:46,73,117,145` |
-| `on-pause` | `run:pause` | `sequential-executor.ts:229,365`, `tier-escalation.ts:150` |
-| `on-resume` | `run:resume` | (manual, stays) |
-| `on-session-end` | `run:session-end` | `sequential-executor.ts` |
-| `on-complete` | `run:complete` | `parallel-executor.ts:161` |
-| `on-error` | `run:error` | (various catch blocks) |

-## Migration Plan
-
-### Phase 1: Event Bus + Verification Orchestrator
-- Create `PipelineEventBus` (extends existing `PipelineEventEmitter`)
-- Create `VerificationOrchestrator` with unified `VerifyResult`
-- Wire `verify` stage to use orchestrator
-- Wire `review` stage to use orchestrator
-- All existing tests must pass
-
-### Phase 2: New Stages
-- Add `rectify` stage (extract from `post-verify-rectification.ts`)
-- Add `autofix` stage (new)
-- Add `regression` stage (extract from `post-verify.ts`)
-- Add `retry` action to pipeline runner
-- Remove `acceptance` from per-story pipeline; create post-run pipeline
-
-### Phase 3: Hook/Plugin/Interaction Consolidation
-- Wire hooks subscriber to event bus
-- Wire reporter subscriber to event bus
-- Wire interaction subscriber to event bus
-- Remove all direct `fireHook()` calls from stages and executors
-- Remove all direct `getReporters()` calls from handlers
-- Remove all direct `executeTrigger()` calls from handlers
-
-### Phase 4: Simplify Executor
-- Remove `routeTask()` from sequential-executor (routing stage handles it)
-- Remove `handlePipelineSuccess()`/`handlePipelineFailure()` — pipeline handles everything
-- Remove `post-verify.ts`, `post-verify-rectification.ts`
-- Remove deprecated shims (`execution/verification.ts`, `execution/rectification.ts`)
-- Simplify `pipeline-result-handler.ts` to thin success/fail routing

-## Simplified Executor (After Migration)
-
-```ts
-// sequential-executor.ts — reduced to ~80 lines
-async function executeSequential(ctx) {
-  const bus = createEventBus()
-  wireHooks(bus, ctx.hooks, ctx.workdir)
-  wireReporters(bus, ctx.pluginRegistry)
-  wireInteraction(bus, ctx.interactionChain, ctx.config)
-  
-  bus.emit("run:start", ctx.feature, ctx.storiesToExecute.length)
-  
-  for (let i = 0; i < ctx.config.execution.maxIterations; i++) {
-    const story = getNextStory(prd)
-    if (!story) break
-    
-    bus.emit("story:start", story, pipelineContext)
-    
-    const result = await runPipeline(defaultPipeline, pipelineContext, bus)

-  
-  // Post-run: deferred regression + acceptance
-  await runPipeline(postRunPipeline, postRunContext, bus)
-  
-  bus.emit("run:complete", buildSummary())

-
-## Consequences
-
-### Positive
-- **Single source of truth** — pipeline orchestrates everything, no ad-hoc code
-- **Consistent logging** — unified `VerifyResult` with counts everywhere
-- **Event-driven cross-cutting** — hooks, reporters, triggers subscribe once, fire from events
-- **Auto-fix** saves costly tier escalations for trivial lint/typecheck failures
-- **Truthful results** — pipeline success = everything passed including regression
-- **Simpler executor** — ~80 lines instead of ~400
-- **Testable** — event bus is mockable; stages are independently testable
-- **Extensible** — new subscribers just wire to events; new stages slot into the pipeline
-
-### Negative
-- Large refactor (4 phases) — high regression risk
-- Event bus adds indirection — debugging hook failures requires tracing events
-- Migration period with old + new coexisting
-
-### Risks & Mitigation
-- **Regression risk:** Incremental phases; each phase must pass full test suite before proceeding
-- **Retry loops:** Hard cap `MAX_STAGE_RETRIES` (default: 5)
-- **Event ordering:** Events fire synchronously within stage boundaries; async subscribers use fire-and-forget with error logging
-- **Backward compat:** Deprecated shims kept until phase 4 cleanup
