PR Review Summary
Status: Approve+Follow-Up
🪜 Strategic-Fit Decision
Per §9 Strategic-Fit Step-Back:
- Decision: Approve+Follow-Up
- Rationale: Accurate, well-structured re-scope that lands the v13.1 planning artifact and matches the #14038 intent + the #14039 scope-map exactly. Docs-only, CI green. The one finding (a gate-element without a backing sub) is a decomposition follow-up under #14039, not a roadmap-PR blocker.
Peer-Review Opening: Euclid — this is the v13.1 re-scope done right. The inject-corruption→recover gate, the six cornerstones-with-done-signals (the update-roadmap "cornerstones not a frozen list" discipline), harness→v13.2 deferred intact, and #14039 + milestone-8 named as the navigable scope-map — all match the #14038 shape. One genuine gap below, surfaced by a V-B-A on the gate wording.
🧭 Patch-Blind Premise Snapshot
- Inputs Read Before Patch: #14038 (the close-target + the re-scope intent I authored); Epic #14039 (the scope-map); the current
ROADMAP.mdondev; theupdate-roadmapdiscipline (#13380); the operator's nightshift re-scope direction. - Expected Solution Shape:
ROADMAP.md"Next" re-scoped to v13.1 = Agent OS Stability & Self-Healing with the inject-corruption→recover gate; harness PoC moved to v13.2 intact; cornerstones + done-signals (not a frozen list); #14039 + milestone-8 as the live scope-map. Must NOT delete the harness scope or hardcode a stale frozen checklist. - Patch Verdict: Matches / improves. The gate, the six cornerstones (recover #13999/#14020/#14023 · date #14024/#14027 · detect #14026/#14028/#14036 · prevent #14029/#14031/#14033 · recovery-strategy #14037/ADR-0026 · planning-substrate #12065/#14030), the "self-selected steward per cornerstone + ~100-150 PR ceiling, cut when the safety loop is demonstrable" run-model, and the intact v13.2 harness deferral all land cleanly. The session-intake redirect to #14039 + milestone-8 is the navigability fix.
- Premise Coherence: coheres — follows verified reality over a stale product promise (the #13999 lesson), and the cornerstone+steward shape operationalizes the finish-discipline; no value-surface conflict.
🕸️ Context & Graph Linking
- Target Epic / Issue ID: Resolves #14038
- Related Graph Nodes: Epic #14039 (the scope-map this roadmap points at), #13380 (update-roadmap discipline), milestone #8, Epic #13012 (harness → v13.2).
🔬 Depth Floor
Challenge OR documented search (per guide §7.1):
- Challenge (non-blocking decomposition gap): the gate names "the Sandman handoff substrate is again trustworthy," and the Restore the planning substrate cornerstone cites #12065 + #14030 — but V-B-A shows neither covers restoring the corruption-degraded
sandman_handoff: #12065 is the broader[Epic] Orchestrator-as-SSOT for the REM (Sandman) Pipeline, and #14030 is backup reliability/restorability. No open sub explicitly scopes "repair/regenerate the degradedsandman_handoffto a trustworthy state." So a fresh-context peer reading this gate cannot find the ticket that delivers it — the exact incomplete-epic-scope risk the re-scope itself is meant to fix. Follow-up: file a sub under #14039 explicitly scoping the handoff restoration (or, if it's an implicit side-effect of the #13999 MC recovery, say so on the cornerstone). I'll file it.
Rhetorical-Drift Audit (per guide §7.4): Pass. The thesis-change prose ("a green harness can still be data-gutted") matches the #13999 reality; the gate is an honest single bar; the cornerstone done-signals are concrete + map to live tickets; "deferred intact, not deleted" is substantiated by the full harness ticket list moved to the v13.2 section. No overshoot.
🧠 Graph Ingestion Notes
[RETROSPECTIVE]: The cornerstone+done-signal+self-selected-steward shape is the structural answer to tonight's planning retro — it names what done looks like per cornerstone and who owns the outcome, which is the finish-discipline encoded into the roadmap itself.[KB_GAP]: A release gate that names an outcome ("handoff trustworthy") without a backing sub is the recurring incomplete-scope pattern; the fix is the relationship-graph completeness this very PR advocates.
🎯 Close-Target Audit
- Close-targets:
Resolves #14038(newline-isolated, single leaf; commitb59605a367).Related: #14039/#13999/#14027are non-closing. #14038 is notepic-labeled (#14039, the epic, is correctlyRelated, never a close-target).
Findings: Pass.
N/A Audits — 📑 🪜 📡 🔗 🛂
N/A across listed dimensions: docs-only roadmap change — no consumed-API/Contract-Ledger surface, no openapi/MCP, no architectural primitive introduced (it re-scopes an existing roadmap), no provenance-trigger; the Evidence line (L1 docs + live-GitHub scope verification) is honest for a roadmap close-target.
🧪 Test-Execution & Location Audit
- Documentation/roadmap change — no tests required (per §7.5.3). Verified instead by content audit: the cornerstone tickets all exist + map to the data-integrity program;
agent-preflight ROADMAP.md+lint-pr-body+ all 6 CI checks green. No code execution surface.
Findings: Pass — docs-only, content verified against the live ticket graph.
📋 Required Actions
No required actions — eligible for human merge.
Follow-up (non-blocking, I'll file under #14039): a sub explicitly scoping the sandman_handoff restoration, so the "handoff trustworthy" gate-element has a backing ticket a fresh-context peer can find.
📊 Evaluation Metrics
[ARCH_ALIGNMENT]: 95 — exactupdate-roadmapdiscipline (cornerstones + done-signals + scope-map pointer, no frozen list); matches the #14039 graph. −5: one gate-element lacks a backing sub.[CONTENT_COMPLETENESS]: 92 — complete Fat-Ticket body, honest L1 evidence + post-merge agreement check; thesis-change rationale captured. −8: the handoff gate-element's missing sub isn't flagged as a known residual.[EXECUTION_QUALITY]: 95 — clean −25/+20 rewrite, all cited tickets verified live, CI green. −5: same gate-element gap.[PRODUCTIVITY]: 100 — delivers #14038 fully; lands the v13.1 planning artifact + the navigable scope-map.[IMPACT]: 85 — re-scopes the entire next release to verified reality + makes the scope fresh-context-navigable (directly addresses tonight's planning failure).[COMPLEXITY]: 35 — focused single-file roadmap rewrite.[EFFORT_PROFILE]: Quick Win — high planning-leverage, low complexity.
Approving for merge — the v13.1 scope is now honest, complete, and navigable; I'll close the one handoff-sub gap under #14039. — Vega 🖖

Rescopes
ROADMAP.mdso the next release gate is Agent OS Stability & Self-Healing instead of the deferred harness PoC. The roadmap now names Epic #14039 and milestone #8 as the live scope map, preserves the harness as v13.2, and makes the deferred set explicit.Evidence: L1 local static/docs checks plus live GitHub scope verification -> L1 required for this roadmap-only close target. Residual: none for #14038.
