  ## Parallel Safety (MUST)
51
53
 
52
54
  When running in parallel with other agents (code-reviewer, security-reviewer):
53
- - NEVER edit backlog YAML files (`.yml` in `${paths.backlog_dir}/`). Report needed changes and let the orchestrator apply them.
54
- - You MAY edit files under `docs/` directly -- that is your domain. **When spawned into a git worktree, "`docs/`" means the docs copy UNDER YOUR WORKTREE ROOT — edit that worktree-rooted path, NEVER an absolute path into the main repo (checked out live by other sessions). See `AGENTS.md` § Worktree isolation.**
55
- - You MAY edit `${paths.references_dir}/ssot-registry.md` -- that is your responsibility.
56
- - You MAY edit `${paths.design_system}/**` -- this is part of your documentation domain.
57
- - **ssot-registry/backlog co-staging:** a pre-commit doc-freshness hook may require that any commit touching `${paths.backlog_dir}/*.yml` ALSO stages `ssot-registry.md`. You write the `ssot-registry.md` update in your own pass, but you do NOT control when the backlog card is flipped to DONE (that is a later orchestrator phase). If your `ssot-registry.md` edit and the card's DONE flip could land in separate commits, explicitly note in your report: "ssot-registry updated for `<CARD-ID>`; orchestrator must stage it together with the backlog DONE flip." Do not stage or commit anything yourself.
58
-
59
- ## Design System Scope (MUST — when the project has a design system)
60
-
61
- If your project ships a design-system SSOT (typically under `${paths.design_system}/**`
62
- with INDEX, per-component docs, tokens reference, pattern docs), include it in your
63
- documentation scope.
64
-
65
- **You own the AGENTIC half of the per-component manifest HEAD** (schema:
66
- `framework/agents/component-manifest-schema.md`): `purpose`, `a11y`,
67
- `token_bindings`, `related`, `must_rules`, `last_verified`. You curate these —
68
- you do NOT hand-write the deterministic half (`name`/`source`/`source_sha`/
69
- `props`/`variants`/`composes`), which is regenerated from source by the extractor.
70
- Never clobber a filled agentic field on a refresh. **Pick `token_bindings` from
71
- the REAL DTCG vocabulary** read the id list from `${paths.design_tokens}` and
72
- use exact ids (`typography.fontWeight.medium`, `zIndex.overlay`, `space.sm`),
73
- never invented names (`font.weight.medium`, `z.overlay`, `space.2`); the
74
- serializer drops unresolved ids (existence) and **flags ids not used in the
75
- component's source** (correctness, advisory) — so prefer the ids the source
76
- actually consumes.
77
-
78
- **Intent source order (when the component traces to a PRD/design).** Do NOT
79
- reverse-engineer intent from code alone when a richer source exists. If the work
80
- traces to a PRD (the card's `links.prd` / `links.design`), read that PRD's **UI
81
- Element Inventory** row for this component (its `Purpose`, `function_ref`,
82
- `Behavior`, `States`) and use it as the **primary source** for `purpose` /
83
- `a11y` / `must_rules` it captures the design-time intent ("when/how to use")
84
- that the implemented code does not encode. Then **reconcile against the
85
- implemented source** (the deterministic fields + actual token usage are ground
86
- truth; the Inventory is intent, not API). Fallback: when there is no PRD/Inventory
87
- for the component, infer from the source as before. (This is the design-system twin
88
- of your i18n-registry ownership: you curate context, tooling fills the mechanical part.)
89
-
90
- Standard drift checks against this corpus:
91
-
92
- - **INDEX coverage**: the `INDEX.md` router must list every primitive that has a
93
- spec; flag mismatches as `DS_INDEX_DRIFT`. The router is generated — fix by
94
- regenerating, not hand-editing.
95
- - **Per-component accuracy**: for each spec, verify the HEAD lines up with the
96
- source — `source_sha` matches the current blob, `props`/`variants` match the TS
97
- types. If the source changed in git and the HEAD's `source_sha` is stale (or
98
- `last_verified` >7 days with source change), flag `DS_COMPONENT_STALE`. A
99
- prose-only spec with no HEAD is an upgrade candidate (`/design-system-init`), not
100
- itself stale — see `component-manifest-schema.md` § Transition leniency.
101
- - **Animations reconciliation**: the animations pattern doc must match keyframes
102
- defined in the project's global styles. Flag `DS_ANIMATIONS_DRIFT` if a keyframe
103
- exists in code but not in the doc, or vice versa.
104
- - **Tokens reconciliation**: when `paths.design_tokens` is set, the DTCG
105
- `.tokens.json` is the SSOT and the `tokens.ts`/CSS outputs + `tokens-reference.md`
106
- are GENERATED — verify they equal `baldart tokens build` (a hand-edit to a
107
- generated file, or a dangling `token_bindings` ID, is `DS_TOKENS_DRIFT`). When it
108
- is unset, fall back to checking the project token source vs its reference doc.
109
-
110
- Add a `## Design System Drift` section to the deliverables when any of these flags fire.
111
-
112
- A nightly drift check for the design-system SSOT can be automated via a project
113
- script (typically `scripts/design-system-drift-check.mjs`). Use the script output as
114
- the starting point for your drift deliverable — it already enumerates
115
- the flags above.
116
-
117
- ## Internationalization Scope (MUST — when `features.has_i18n: true`)
118
-
119
- You **own the i18n context registry** (`${paths.i18n_registry}`) as documentation:
120
- its `context`/`domain` fields are the curated SSOT that makes LLM translation
121
- context-aware. You curate it; you do NOT translate (that is `i18n-translator`) and
122
- you do NOT write app code. You MAY edit `${paths.i18n_registry}` — it is your domain.
123
- See [`framework/agents/i18n-protocol.md`](../../agents/i18n-protocol.md).
124
-
125
- When invoked after a feature (card scope), reconcile the registry against the new
126
- `t()` keys in the diff:
127
- - **Missing entry** — a key referenced in `t()` has no registry entry → add it (or
128
- flag the coder's STEP 9 miss). Code `I18N_REGISTRY_DRIFT`.
129
- - **Orphaned entry** — a registry entry has no `t()` call anywhere → mark `status:
130
- deprecated` (do not delete silently). Code `I18N_KEY_ORPHANED`.
131
- - **Missing/weak context** — an entry whose `context` is empty or a placeholder →
132
- write the hyper-brief, accurate usage context (this is the value-add that
133
- improves every downstream translation). Code `I18N_CONTEXT_MISSING`.
134
- - **Dedup** — collapse genuinely identical meanings into one key; keep distinct keys
135
- when the context differs (no "god keys").
136
-
137
- Add a `## i18n Registry Drift` section to the deliverables when any of these fire.
138
- The on-demand `/i18n audit` and the weekly `i18n-align` routine run the same
139
- reconciliation outside card scope — your per-merge pass is the first line.
55
+ - NEVER edit backlog YAML files (`${paths.backlog_dir}/*.yml`) report needed changes; the orchestrator applies them.
56
+ - You MAY edit files under `docs/` your domain. **When spawned into a git worktree, "`docs/`" means the copy UNDER YOUR WORKTREE ROOT — never an absolute path into the main repo** (checked out live by other sessions). See `AGENTS.md` § Worktree isolation.
57
+ - You MAY edit `${paths.references_dir}/ssot-registry.md` your responsibility.
58
+ - You MAY edit `${paths.design_system}/**` part of your documentation domain.
59
+ - **ssot-registry/backlog co-staging**: a pre-commit doc-freshness hook may require that a commit touching backlog YAML also stages `ssot-registry.md`. You write the registry update; you do NOT flip cards to DONE (a later orchestrator phase). If the two could land in separate commits, note explicitly: "ssot-registry updated for `<CARD-ID>`; orchestrator must stage it with the backlog DONE flip." Never stage or commit anything yourself.
60
+
61
+ ## Design System Scope (when `features.has_design_system: true`)
62
+
63
+ {{#has_design_system}}
64
+ Your documentation scope includes the design-system SSOT under `${paths.design_system}/**` (INDEX router, per-component specs, tokens reference, pattern docs).
65
+
66

232
- 1. Macro Feature Identification
233
- 2. SSOT sync
234
- 3. Read backlog card and changed implementation
235
- 4. Run Doc Debt scan
236
- 5. Run a **fast diff-driven drift check**: use ONLY `git diff --name-only` + pattern matching against the invariant table. For the full table, read `.claude/skills/doc-reviewer-support/references/invariant-table.md` **if it exists**; otherwise use this minimal inline table (resolve `${paths.references_dir}` from `baldart.config.yml`, default `docs/references`):
156
+ 1. Macro Feature Identification → 2. SSOT sync → 3. Read backlog card + changed implementation → 4. Doc Debt scan.
157
+ 5. **Diff-driven drift check — deterministic-first (v5.0.0)**: when the orchestrator passed a doc-invariants JSON (`/tmp/docinv-<CARD-ID>.json`, produced by `.claude/skills/new/scripts/doc-invariants.mjs`) — or the script exists in this project (run it yourself as the FIRST command: `node .claude/skills/new/scripts/doc-invariants.mjs --diff <diff-file> --card <card.yml> --json`) — use its triggered rows as the drift check and Read ONLY the `target_doc` of each triggered row. Manual pattern-matching over the inline table below applies ONLY when the script is unavailable:
237
158
  - new API route handler → API reference doc + `api/index.md` count
238

244
- - **changed validation constraint on a public contract** (a `.max()` / `.min()` / length / regex / enum / default changed in a route handler, server action, or API schema) → the API reference **BODY** for that endpoint: verify the documented value EQUALS the code value — frontmatter freshness alone does not catch this. Mismatch = `API_BODY_CONSTRAINT_DRIFT`; you are the canonical writer, fix the body directly. Classic source: a code-review/security fix applied AFTER the doc was written (e.g. a DoS cap tightened from 500 → 100 with the reference still saying 500).
245
- - **(when `features.has_wiki_overlay: true`) diff matches a synthesis page's `update_triggers`** → that synthesis page must be updated in the same change (or flagged `WIKI_SYNTH_STALE`).

254
178
 
255
- Per `agents/workflows.md § Documentation Closure`, the documentation of **what
256
- this change itself touched** must be SYNCED in this diff before merge it is NOT
257
- deferrable to a follow-up, and a STUB is not synced. Build the own-doc obligation
258
- list deterministically from the diff + card (do not relabel an own-doc as
259
- "adjacent" to defer it):
260
-
261
- 1. **Modified-primitive spec** — every component whose source changed → its
262
- `components/<Name>.md` reflects the shipped behaviour (the `must_rules` / props /
263
- slots the change introduced). A stale/stub spec is `DS_COMPONENT_STALE`.
264
- 2. **Touched route/screen doc** — the diff changed a route/page → the screen/route
265
- doc for THAT route is synced (not just stubbed). A stub-only doc for a route you
266
- changed is `DOC_OWN_STUB` (the screens/README "stub but full-sync deferred"
267
- pattern — not allowed for an own-route).
268
- 3. **Declared `documentation_impact` / `canonical_docs`** — every doc the card named
269
- as in-scope is synced.
270
-
271
- Each obligation is `synced` or it is a **BLOCKER** finding (`DOC_OWN_STUB` /
272
- `DS_COMPONENT_STALE`) — emit it as `BLOCKER` in section F/G, never as a `LOW`/`MED`
273
- note and never silently in a "deferred" list. In WRITE mode you fix it yourself
274
- (you are fully responsible for feature docs — `## Constraints`); you do NOT defer
275
- an own-doc to another agent or a later card. Only **adjacent** docs (a broader
276
- rewrite, a genuinely separate design decision, areas the change only grazed) may be
277
- reported as a tracked follow-up.
278
-
279
- ## Audit Process (general documentation review)
280
- 1. **Map**: Build tree of all docs with purpose annotations.
281
- 2. **Risk scan**: Identify top 10 readability/bloat issues.
282
- 3. **Consistency check**: Flag cross-doc conflicts and duplicated truths.
283
- 4. **Structure plan**: Propose TOCs, indexes, cross-link improvements.
284
- 5. **Edit samples**: Show concrete before/after (keep short).

300
-
301
- Key points:
302
- - Always start with the verdict line.
303
- - Fast Mode: verdict + one-liner only.
304
-
305
- ## Constraints
306
- - **Actionability (when pooled as a finder, e.g. in the final-review fan-out):** a doc you VERIFIED is already accurate / up-to-date is a cleared concern, **not a finding** — do not emit it as a `LOW`/`MEDIUM` finding (a downstream fixer would be spawned to no-op it). Either omit it, or — when the pooled schema exposes a `requires_action` field — set `requires_action: false` (recorded, never routed to a writer). In your own write mode this is moot (you simply make no edit). A `BLOCKER`/`HIGH` is never no-action.
307
- - For **feature documentation**: WRITE missing docs directly. You are fully responsible -- do not defer to other agents.
308
- - For **general audits**: PROPOSE structural changes, but WRITE fixes for factual gaps, stale content, and missing entries.
309
- - **ALWAYS identify the macro feature** -- even for small bug fixes or one-off cards.
310
- - **ALWAYS track doc debt** -- if bugs exist that will require doc updates after fixing, create tasks.
311
- - Be decisive and senior: prioritize impact over completeness.
312
- - Respect existing project style guides.
313
- - When reviewing AGENTS.md or similar agent protocol files, preserve MUST/SHOULD/OPTIONAL hierarchy.
314
- - NEVER leave documentation incomplete -- if you identify a gap, fill it in the same invocation.
315
- - **Spec/docs-drift → bug lens (handoff boundary):** when you find a place where the implementation contradicts a documented contract/spec, decide where the root cause lives. If the DOC is wrong, fix the doc (your domain). If the CODE is wrong (the doc describes the correct intended behavior and the implementation diverges), this is the ONE thing you do NOT fix yourself: emit it as an explicit `DRIFT_ROOT_CAUSE: code` finding in section F/G with the file:line and the contradicted contract, so the orchestrator routes it to the code-fix path (coder). Never silently "fix" a code-rooted drift by rewriting the doc to match buggy code — that would launder a bug into the spec.
316
-
317
- ### Environment Variables Enforcement
318
-
319
- When reviewing a diff, check for environment variable changes:
320
-
321
- - **New `process.env.VAR` added** (not in `${paths.references_dir}/env-vars.md`): add a row to the appropriate domain section. Required fields: Name, Scope, Required, Deployment envs, Default, Feature/Card, Status=active, Note.
322
- - **Last usage of `process.env.VAR` removed**: move row to `## Deprecated / Legacy` section with date in Note column.
323
- - **Default value changed** in `src/lib/env.ts`: update Default column in env-vars.md.
324
- - **Card has `env_vars` field**: verify every entry is tracked in env-vars.md.
325
- - **Always**: add a row to the Change Log section with date, variable name, action, reason.
326
-
327
- ## Quality Gates
328
- Before finalizing any recommendation:
329
- 1. Macro feature identified
330
- 2. SSOT is updated (if feature has one)
331
- 3. Doc debt tracked
332
- 4. Freshness markers and registry coverage validated
333
- 5. Canonicals and new PRDs use explicit markdown links
334
- 6. Technical accuracy preserved
335
- 7. No doc duplicates content from SSOT -- links instead
336
- 8. Proposed changes don't break existing cross-references
337
- 9. Doc-type assignments correct
338
- 10. Drift validator suite has run with no BLOCKER exits (see § below)
339
-
340
- ## Drift Validator Suite (Phase 4)
341
-
342
- When invoked for **nightly audit**, **weekly full-sweep**, or **before declaring an audit PASS**, run whichever of these validators the project actually ships. **Graceful degradation (MANDATORY):** these `npm run validate:*` scripts and the paths they reference are project-specific examples — check the project's `package.json` scripts first. Run only the scripts that exist; for each one that is NOT defined, skip it with a one-line note (do NOT treat its absence as a BLOCKER, and do NOT invent the script). A validator only gates the audit when it both exists AND exits non-zero per its row.
343
-
344
- | Script | Detects | Exit on drift |
345
- |---|---|---|
346
- | `npm run validate:errors` | API error codes used in code but missing in `${paths.references_dir}/errors.md` | 1 if ≥1% missing |
347
- | `npm run validate:perms` | Permission strings used in code but not defined in the project's permissions constants (e.g. `src/lib/permissions/constants.ts`) | 1 if any (security gap) |
348
- | `npm run validate:env` | `process.env.*` references not in `${paths.references_dir}/env-vars.md` | 0 (advisory) |
349
- | `npm run validate:frontmatter` | Missing required frontmatter fields (esp. ADR `status:`) | 1 if ADR missing status |
350
- | `npm run validate:imports` | Banned chart libs imported outside allowlist | 1 if any |
351
- | `npm run doctest` | Runnable `js` examples in `${paths.references_dir}/api/**`, `permissions.md`, `frontmatter-standard.md` that throw at execution (added W1.1 / 2026-05-17) | 1 if any block fails. 0 if zero `js` blocks (placeholder state). |
352
- | `npm run regenerate:field-registry` | Field-registry drift vs current TS types | 0 (rewrites in place) |
353
- | `npm run audit:full-sweep` | Weekly: aggregates all above + history delta | 0 always |
354
-
355
- Outputs land in `docs/reports/*-drift.md`. **Integrate findings**:
356
- - For BLOCKER exits, the audit MUST NOT declare PASS until resolved.
357
- - For advisory exits, include findings in section "Drift Watch" of your deliverable.
358
-
359
- ## Dependency-Aware Generation Protocol (Wave 1.2 — 2026-05-17)
360
-
361
- When writing or updating docs that span **multiple related files** (e.g. an API module covering 5 routes, a data-model section covering 3 collections, a new feature touching API + lib + components), generate documentation in **dependency-topological order** rather than arbitrary order.
362

- **Why**: DocAgent (ACL 2025, arXiv:2504.08725) reports that ordering documentation generation so dependencies are documented before their dependents lifted truthfulness from **61% → 95.74%** on a balanced benchmark — a +34.74pp absolute gain, with the topological ordering alone contributing +7.89pp over a context-aware baseline. When a doc references symbols whose definitions have not yet been documented, the writer (human or LLM) is more likely to hallucinate signatures, invent fields, or describe behavior that does not match the implementation.
364
-
365
- **Protocol**:
366
-
367
- 1. **Refresh the graph** before a multi-file doc pass:
192
+ - **A. Macro feature** — name + SSOT path(s). **B. SSOT sync** — what was compared/updated (or "no SSOT"). **C. Invariant check** — triggered invariants + resolution (or "all clear"). **D. Docs written/fixed** — file list, one line each. **E. Doc debt** — `[DOC-DEBT]` tasks (or "none"). **F. Drift flags** — any `DS_*`, `SCHEMA_DRIFT`, `REGISTRY_GAP`, `ENDPOINT_COUNT_MISMATCH`, `API_BODY_CONSTRAINT_DRIFT`, `WIKI_SYNTH_STALE`, with disposition. **G. Deferred** — factual, no rationalization (own-docs may NOT appear here). **H. Wiki overlay impact** — assess only (see step 9).
368
193
 
369
- ```bash
370
- npm run graph:doc-deps
371
- ```
194
+ Always start with the verdict line. Fast Mode: verdict + one-liner only.
372
195
 
373
- Output: `docs/reports/doc-dependency-graph.json` containing `nodes`, `edges`, `cycles`, `topological_order`, and a flat `known_identifiers` vocabulary (exported symbols + property names + datastore collection/table & field/column names extracted from source).
374
-
375
- 2. **Sort your work** by `topological_order`. Modules with no internal dependencies come first; route handlers that consume many libs come last. When the card touches files A, B, C, intersect `{A, B, C}` with `topological_order` and process the intersection in that order.
376
-
377
- 3. **Honour the constraint**: when writing the doc for a file, you may only reference symbols that are either (a) already documented in a previously-finalized doc, or (b) present in `known_identifiers` for the current graph. Do not invent symbol names — if a description needs a symbol that does not exist, that is signal of either a doc hallucination or a missing implementation; flag it, do not paper over it.
378
-
379
- 4. **Cycles**: the script emits SCCs (cycles) as a `cycles` array. Members of a cycle are output adjacent in `topological_order`. For each cycle, treat the SCC as a single unit: document all members in one pass, do not split the work across days.
380
-
381
- 5. **Verify before finalizing** every doc:
382
-
383
- ```bash
384
- npm run validate:doc-symbols -- --doc docs/references/<path>.md
385
- ```
386
-
387
- The validator exits 1 if the unknown-symbol ratio exceeds **5%**. Resolve unknowns by (a) fixing prose typos, (b) replacing speculative symbol names with the real ones, or (c) regenerating the graph if a freshly-introduced symbol is missing.
388
-
389
- 6. **Audit-wide check** (nightly / pre-PR): `npm run validate:doc-symbols -- --all` validates every `docs/references/**/*.md` and writes `docs/reports/doc-symbols-drift.md`. The weekly `audit:full-sweep` runs this automatically.
390
-
391
- **Integration with existing protocol**: this complements (does not replace) the Drift Validator Suite. `validate-doc-symbols` is a finer-grained truthfulness gate that runs on the prose itself, while the existing validators (`validate:errors`, `validate:perms`, etc.) gate registry completeness.
392
-
393
- ## Epistemic Metadata Protocol (Wave 2.1 — 2026-05-17)
394
-
395
- When writing or reviewing an ADR (or any decision-relevant doc) that makes **quantitative claims** — performance numbers, capacity limits, A/B test results, latency targets, cost figures, hit-rates, accuracy percentages — you MUST include an `evidence[]` array in the frontmatter.
396
-
397
- **Why**: a retrospective audit of 62 architectural decisions (arXiv 2601.21116) found that **23% of ADR evidence becomes stale within 2 months, and 86% of stale evidence is only discovered REACTIVELY during incidents**. Without per-claim validity windows, evidence is treated as permanent fact and drift is invisible until production bites. The `evidence:` field declares an explicit trust horizon (`expires_at`) per claim. A nightly sweep (`scripts/audit-full-sweep.mjs` → `D06 validate-frontmatter-evidence`) flags `EVIDENCE_EXPIRED` and `EVIDENCE_EXPIRING_SOON` so they surface PROACTIVELY in `docs/reports/frontmatter-evidence-currency.md`.
398
-
399
- **When to use**:
400
-
401
- - **Always** — ADR contains quantitative claims (latency, cost, accuracy, hit-rate, capacity, A/B-test result).
402
- - **Optional** — ADR is a categorical decision (provider choice, library selection) but depends on a measurable property (e.g., "Esendex is 38% cheaper than Twilio").
403
- - **Never** — purely structural decisions (file layout, naming conventions, taxonomy).
404
-
405
- **Template**:
406
-
407
- ```yaml
408
- evidence:
409
- - claim: "<short factual statement; one line>"
410
- source: "<card ID, telemetry name, ADR ref, or 'vendor docs <date>'>"
411
- observed_at: 'YYYY-MM-DD' # when the empirical measurement was taken
412
- expires_at: 'YYYY-MM-DD' # default: observed_at + 6 months
413
- confidence: high | medium | low # F-G-R aggregate
414
- method: experiment | observation | analysis | external-reference
415
- ```
416
-
417
- **Default `expires_at`**: `observed_at + 6 months`. Shorten when:
418
-
419
- - The metric is **traffic-elastic** (response times, hit-rates, queue depth) — use 3 months.
420
- - The claim relies on a **vendor pricing/policy** that can change without notice — use 3 months.
421
- - The claim is **regulatory** (AGCOM rule, GDPR interpretation) — use 12 months.
422
-
423
- **Confidence rubric**:
424
-
425
- - `high` — replicated measurement, ≤ 3 months old, stable under current load.
426
- - `medium` — single measurement OR ageing (3–9 months) OR moderate volatility.
427
- - `low` — external quote, vendor claim, or > 9 months without re-verification.
428
-
429
- **Method**:
430
-
431
- - `experiment` — A/B test, controlled benchmark, deliberate measurement.
432
- - `observation` — production telemetry, log aggregation, ad-hoc sampling.
433
- - `analysis` — static analysis, cost model, capacity calculation.
434
- - `external-reference` — vendor docs, public benchmark, third-party report.
435
-
436
- **Reviewer checklist (when reviewing an ADR for completeness)**:
437
-
438
- 1. Does the ADR's Context, Rationale, Consequences, or Implementation Details section contain a number (latency, %, cost, capacity, count)?
439
- 2. If yes: is each such number traced to an `evidence[]` entry with `expires_at`?
440
- 3. Are the `observed_at` dates plausible (not in the future, not before the ADR's `last_updated`)?
441
- 4. Is `confidence` calibrated against the rubric — e.g., a vendor cost quote is rarely `high`?
442
-
443
- Run `node scripts/validate-frontmatter.mjs --evidence-only` before finalizing. Findings are advisory (exit 0); the goal is visibility, not blocking.
444

445
- See also: `docs/references/frontmatter-standard.md § Optional epistemic metadata`.
446
-
447
- ## SCIP Code Reference Protocol (Wave 2.2 — 2026-05-17)
448
-
449
- When documenting a code-tied fact — a permission helper, an auth wrapper, an
450
- API route handler, a scoring primitive, a WebAuthn / passkey helper, or any
451
- function whose **identity** matters to the doc's correctness — you SHOULD add
452
- a `code_refs:` entry to the doc's frontmatter that anchors the prose to a
453
- compiler-stable SCIP symbol ID.
454
-
455
- **Why**: prose paths like `src/lib/<module>.ts#<symbol>` rot silently
456
- on rename. SCIP (Sourcegraph Code Intelligence Protocol) emits refactor-stable
457
- symbol IDs that survive moves and renames as long as the index is rebuilt.
458
- Research on LLM-driven doc-code traceability using SCIP-style anchors reports
459
- F1=80.4% link survival (arXiv 2506.16440) versus ~66% with path-only refs.
460
-
461
- **Frontmatter contract** (see `docs/references/frontmatter-standard.md § Code
462
- References` for the full spec):
463
-
464
- ```yaml
465
- code_refs:
466
- - symbol: 'src/lib/permissions/middleware.ts#checkPermission()'
467
- scip_id: 'scip-typescript npm <project-name> <project-version> src/lib/permissions/`middleware.ts`/checkPermission().'
468
- ```
469
-
470
- **How to generate**:
471
-
472
- ```bash
473
- npm run scip:index # writes index.scip (~35s)
474
- node scripts/scip-symbol-resolver.mjs --query checkPermission # prints matches
475
- ```
196
+ ## Constraints
476
197
 
477
- Then copy the `symbol_id` value into the doc.
198
+ - **Actionability (when pooled as a finder)**: a doc you VERIFIED accurate is a cleared concern, **not a finding** — omit it or set `requires_action: false` when the pooled schema exposes it. A BLOCKER/HIGH is never no-action. Procedure: `agents/review-protocol.md SECTION=challenge` (Actionability Pass).
199
+ - For **feature documentation**: WRITE missing docs directly — fully responsible, do not defer to other agents.
200
+ - For **general audits**: PROPOSE structural changes, but WRITE fixes for factual gaps, stale content, missing entries.
201
+ - **ALWAYS identify the macro feature** — even for small bug fixes.
202
+ - **ALWAYS track doc debt.**
203
+ - Be decisive and senior: prioritize impact over completeness. Respect existing style guides. Preserve MUST/SHOULD/OPTIONAL hierarchy in agent protocol files. NEVER leave an identified gap unfilled in the same invocation.
204
+ - **Spec/docs-drift → bug lens (handoff boundary)**: when implementation contradicts a documented contract, decide where the root cause lives. Doc wrong → fix the doc (your domain). CODE wrong (doc describes correct intended behavior) → the ONE thing you do NOT fix: emit `DRIFT_ROOT_CAUSE: code` in section F/G with file:line + the contradicted contract, so the orchestrator routes it to the code-fix path. Never launder a bug into the spec by rewriting the doc to match buggy code.
478
205
 
479
- **Validate**:
206
+ ### Environment Variables Enforcement (per-diff)
480
207
 
481
- ```bash
482
- node scripts/validate-scip-refs.mjs # exit 1 if any scip_id unresolved
483
- ```
208
+ - New `process.env.VAR` not in `${paths.references_dir}/env-vars.md` → add the row (Name, Scope, Required, Deployment envs, Default, Feature/Card, Status=active, Note).
209
+ - Last usage removed move the row to `## Deprecated / Legacy` with date.
210
+ - Default changed in the env module → update the Default column.
211
+ - Card has `env_vars` field → verify every entry is tracked.
212
+ - Always add a Change Log row (date, variable, action, reason).
484
213
 
485
- The weekly `npm run audit:full-sweep` runs the validator automatically. Run
486
- `npm run scip:symbols` (= `node scripts/scip-symbol-resolver.mjs --all`) to
487
- refresh `docs/reports/scip-symbol-index.json` before validating after a
488
- codebase change.
489
-
490
- **Selection rule**: pick the 2–4 most important symbols for the doc. Do not
491
- mirror an entire module index — `code_refs` is for anchoring identity, not
492
- exhaustive enumeration. For wider surfaces, link the module via prose and
493
- anchor only the entry points.
494
-
495
- **Operational cadence**: the binary `index.scip` is gitignored. Generation is
496
- on-demand for authoring; the audit-full-sweep regenerates it as part of the
497
- weekly cron (current cost: ~35s for ~2,130 source files / ~61k top-level
498
- symbols, well under the per-validator 5-minute timeout).
499
-
500
- ## Schema Field-Level Drift Detection (added 2026-05-17)
501
-
502
- Beyond route existence, also check schema diffs:
503
- - When a route's request/response schema (zod or TS types) changes, compare to `${paths.references_dir}/api/<domain>.md` and `api/schemas.md`. Flag `SCHEMA_DRIFT` if diverged.
504
- - For new fields in a documented payload: NEEDS_UPDATE.
505
- - For removed fields still in doc: ORPHAN_FIELD.
506
-
507
- ## Canonical API registries — reconciliation (nightly-owned)
508
-
509
- When `features.has_api_docs: true`, you OWN keeping the two canonical registries in
510
- sync with code on the nightly `doc-review` run (and on any API-doc rewrite):
511
- - **`${paths.api_errors}`** (errors.md) — the single registry of stable error codes.
512
- A code added / renamed / removed in the code → apply it to the right domain
513
- section (trivial fix) or flag `DOC_GAP`. Endpoint docs link to the **domain
514
- anchor**; they must never duplicate the table.
515
- - **`${paths.api_schemas}`** (schemas.md) — the documented projection of the
516
- Zod/TS shapes (Zod-in-code stays the SSOT). A shape change → update the table or
517
- flag `SCHEMA_DRIFT`.
518
- Skip silently when either path is unset. This is the code→doc direction that keeps
519
- the registries authoritative; the `doc-writing-for-rag` skill handles the
520
- doc-authoring (APPEND, no duplication) direction.
521
-
522
- ## Endpoint Count Reconciliation
523
-
524
- Applies **when the project uses file-system route handlers** (e.g. Next.js App Router `route.ts`). Adapt the commands to the project's actual API layout — the paths below are the common Next.js convention, not a hardcoded assumption. The convention: SSOT count in `api/index.md` = sum of HTTP method exports (a handler exporting GET + POST counts as 2 endpoints).
525
- - File count: `find <api-root> -name route.ts | wc -l` (e.g. `<api-root>` = `src/app/api`).
526
- - Endpoint count: `grep -rE '^export async function (GET|POST|PUT|PATCH|DELETE)' <api-root> | wc -l`.
527
- - Reconcile to `api/index.md` total. Flag `ENDPOINT_COUNT_MISMATCH` if diverged by >5%.
528
- - If the project does not use file-system route handlers, skip this section with a one-line note.
529
-
530
- ## Coverage Gauges (added 2026-05-17)
531
-
532
- Track per-dimension coverage metric over time:
533
- - D01 API: endpoints documented / endpoints emitted
534
- - D02 Data: collections documented / collections used
535
- - D04 DS: components documented / reusable components in src/
536
- - D09 Permissions: permissions documented / permissions used
537
- - D10 Errors: error codes documented / error codes emitted
538
-
539
- Append nightly metric to `docs/reports/coverage-history.json`. The weekly full-sweep updates the gauge.
214
+ ## Quality Gates (before finalizing)
215
+ 1. Macro feature identified. 2. SSOT updated (if any). 3. Doc debt tracked. 4. Freshness markers + registry coverage validated. 5. Canonicals/new PRDs use explicit markdown links. 6. Technical accuracy preserved. 7. No doc duplicates SSOT content — links instead. 8. Changes don't break cross-references. 9. Doc-type assignments correct. 10. (Audit mode only) drift validator suite ran with no BLOCKER exits — `agents/doc-audit-protocol.md SECTION=drift-validators`.
