+ # triage-owned-cleanup
11
+
12
+ This step carries out an authorized cleanup of specific temporary directories
13
+ the current task owns. It is not a general filesystem executor. The planner
14
+ only names this step; it never deletes anything.
15
+
16
+ ## Reads
17
+
18
+ - The user's current request or standing instruction authorizing these exact
19
+ cleanup targets, and evidence that the current task created and owns them.
20
+ - The repository's temporary-files and action-reversibility rules, the
21
+ allowed repository-local temporary root and the actual directory contents.
22
+ - The tracked-file contents and index state before any deletion.
23
+
24
+ ## Procedure
25
+
26
+ 1. Record the exact targets and the authority that covers deleting them.
27
+ Empty artifacts, ignored paths and an available tool are not authority.
28
+ No tracked deliverable may still need files in a target. Host-managed
29
+ scratch directories and external paths are outside this step.
30
+ 2. Complete the entire preflight for every target before deleting any:
31
+ - Resolve its absolute path and the allowed repository-local temporary
32
+ root. Confirm the target is a specific directory beneath that root,
33
+ never the temporary root itself, the workspace root or Git metadata.
34
+ - Verify that Git ignores the target and its contents, and no tracked file
35
+ or tracked directory entry sits inside it. Do not change ignore rules.
36
+ - Verify the required host deletion permissions for every target, its
37
+ descendants and their containing directories before the first deletion.
38
+ Use only host-allowed read-only permission inspection. User authority,
39
+ read access and available tools are not proof of deletion permission.
40
+ Missing or unknown permission stops the entire cleanup without deleting
41
+ any target. Do not change permissions or elevate privileges to proceed.
42
+ - Inspect every descendant and every path component. Allow only ordinary
43
+ directories and regular files. Reject symbolic links, junctions,
44
+ reparse points, nested repositories and special entries; stop if the host
45
+ cannot establish these facts.
46
+ - Verify current-task ownership of every entry and that no process, other
47
+ task or pending operation uses it. Unknown ownership or use stops the
48
+ cleanup; do not terminate processes to make a target removable.
49
+ - Capture enough native filesystem identity and contents information to
50
+ detect replacement, additions or other changes before each deletion.
51
+ Snapshot tracked contents and the index separately, without exposing
52
+ their contents in the receipt.
53
+ 3. Recheck each target against that preflight immediately before deleting it.
54
+ Stop if its path, identity, contents or permissions changed, or any fact is unknown.
55
+ Use the host's allowed native operation with literal absolute paths in one
56
+ shell. Never pass enumerated paths to another shell, follow links, disable
57
+ a guard, elevate privileges or use another tool to bypass a host denial.
58
+ 4. Delete only the approved targets. A denial before deletion leaves every
59
+ target untouched. A failure after deletion began stops further work and
60
+ records what was removed, what remains and what could not be confirmed.
61
+ Do not claim rollback or completed cleanup after a partial failure.
62
+ 5. Verify the exact targets are absent and that tracked contents and the index
63
+ still match their starting state. If any check fails or cannot run, report
64
+ cleanup unfinished with the evidence and remaining targets. Do not record
65
+ `cleaned` or start the closing step as if cleanup succeeded.
66
+
67
+ This step runs no SDD, repository-wide gate, commit, push or other operation.
68
+ A broader cleanup or a tracked change needs its own request. An unavailable
69
+ tool or permission does not turn this step into a hand-off operation.
70
+
71
+ ## What it writes
72
+
73
+ - No tracked file or index entry. Only the authorized ignored temporary
74
+ directories are removed.
75
+ - A receipt in the stage report: authority, ownership evidence, exact
76
+ targets, preflight observations, deletion results, absence checks and
77
+ tracked-content and index comparison results. Keep secrets out of it.
78
+ - Any ignored receipt file stays outside the deletion targets and is named
79
+ in the stage report. It is evidence, not a tracked-file change.
80
+
81
+ ## Gate
82
+
83
+ Every exact target is confirmed absent, tracked contents and the index are
84
+ unchanged, and the receipt records the evidence. Missing authority, uncertain
85
+ ownership, unsafe paths, host denial or partial failure leaves cleanup
86
+ unfinished. Only a completed gate permits the `cleaned` closure.

113
+ ### Acceptance evidence and follow-up
114
+
115
+ When implementation, verification or handoff scope includes acceptance scaffolds
116
+ or unfinished BF/AC acceptance bodies, include these five fields in the human
117
+ report. A lint-only scope without these bodies needs no acceptance report.
118
+
119
+ | Field | Report |
120
+ | -------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
121
+ | Annotation proof | BF/AC annotation IDs, their test files and the inspection or validation result that established them. |
122
+ | Acceptance bodies | Empty, implemented and unclassified body counts, with each counting unit and file references. Keep BF test bodies and AC test bodies separate; test bodies are not unique obligations. Use UNKNOWN, not zero, for a count inspection did not establish. |
123
+ | Asserted behavior and runs | The actual assertion that observes each implemented body's BF or AC, and its actual run results with evidence references. An annotation alone does not establish the assertion or its execution. |
124
+ | Observed outcomes | PASS, FAIL, skipped, UNRUN and pending observations, with their logs or evidence references. Only an actual run supplies an execution result. A passing empty body establishes no behavioral proof. |
125
+ | Remaining work | Identified unfinished BF/AC bodies and files, the actual owner or UNASSIGNED, completion criteria and the next route. Use `write-acceptance-tests` to write the remaining bodies under its existing acceptance-writing rules. |
126
+
127
+ Do not derive completed ACs by subtracting empty bodies from the suite's pass
128
+ total. An assertion for another EX does not complete an empty AC body. Zero
129
+ validation errors do not prove BF/AC behavior. Guidance fixtures prove the
130
+ reporting guidance they inspect, not an adopter's actual behavior.
131
+
132
+ For example, an illustrative inspection can identify two AC test bodies, one
133
+ empty and one with recorded assertion and run evidence, plus one unclassified
134
+ BF test body. Report those body counts with their separate units and files;
135
+ the remaining bodies still need owners and completion criteria. If inspection
136
+ has not established the count, write UNKNOWN. If no owner has been assigned,
137
+ write UNASSIGNED; do not invent an assignment or a successful run.
138
+
139
+ Legitimate empty bodies keep their existing exemption. An actual required-check
140
+ FAIL remains FAIL, and the acceptance-writing completion gate is unchanged.
141
+ When using the existing optional `verify.json` summary, keep one or two short
142
+ sentences naming remaining work, its owner or UNASSIGNED, and the detailed
143
+ report reference. Put the table in the human report, without new JSON fields,
144
+ statuses, scopes, gates or routes.
145
+
146
+ ### Full collection evidence
147
+
148
+ During the existing normal verify run, record the full intended collection
149
+ and actual collection and execution. Reconcile omitted cases against
150
+ comparable case membership at the same revision, command/filter, runner and
151
+ environment, or explain intentional differences. Preserve the Standard Test
152
+ command's quoted arguments: shell expansion can change collection depth.
153
+ Equal aggregate counts do not prove equal membership. Keep unknown expected
154
+ counts unknown; unexplained omissions prevent a full-scope completion claim.
155
+
156
+ A focused target pass, file/container success or static annotation linkage
157
+ proves no full collection. For a focused case's source identity, actual body
158
+ execution, terminal state and raw evidence, read
159
+ `.qfai/assistant/skill/qfai-implement/references/red-admissibility.md#selected-case-execution`.
160
+ Keep its result distinct from full-scope evidence. No extra full run is
161
+ required during each focused cycle. Record these facts in the existing human
162
+ report; add no permanent inventory, ledger, JSON field, gate status, runtime
163
+ parser or runner.
