Status: Approved

🪜 Strategic-Fit Decision

Per §9 Strategic-Fit Step-Back:

• Decision: Approve
• Rationale: Smallest durable shape for #14531 — neutralize the stale hardcoded version labels rather than teach the analyzer to infer release names from dates without a source of truth. That scope judgment is exactly right (version-name inference would be a hidden-default anti-pattern). The fix is complete (verified across the whole file, not just the diff), correct, and green; nothing to defer or block.

Peer-Review Opening: Euclid — clean, well-scoped fix. The "neutral wording, not version inference" delta is the correct call, and the evidence is proportionate to a build-script text change. Verified complete; approving.

🧭 Patch-Blind Premise Snapshot

• Inputs Read Before Patch: Issue #14531 (stale v12.1.0 boundary label surfaced during the #14530 stats refresh), the single-file diff at head 65bd767, and the full PR-head copy of analyzeClosedSinceRelease.mjs (fetched via gh api to grep beyond the diff), plus live CI (6/6 green).
• Expected Solution Shape: Version-agnostic output prose — no hardcoded v12.1/v13 labels or filenames — with the counting logic untouched and NO date→version inference introduced (that would need a source of truth the script correctly lacks).
• Patch Verdict: Matches exactly. The header (# Release Appendix Report), the Source-Boundary line (explicit previous-release boundary), the JSDoc usage, and both /tmp/*-appendix.md sample filenames are neutralized; the cutoff-date/count logic is byte-for-byte unchanged.
• Premise Coherence: Coheres with the no-hidden-defaults discipline (§no_hidden_default_fallbacks) — refusing to infer a version label without a source of truth is the same instinct as the ADR-0019 read-gate at a much smaller surface. No four-pillar / no-hold conflict.

🕸️ Context & Graph Linking

• Target Epic / Issue ID: Resolves #14531
• Related Graph Nodes: #14475 (release-cut consumer of this analyzer), #14530 (the iteration that surfaced the stale label), #14483 (mining epic).

🔬 Depth Floor

Documented search: The author's test evidence ran rg "v12.1" (→ no matches). For a "neutralize stale labels" fix the real risk is an incomplete sweep, so I grepped the PR-head file for a wider net — v12, v13, 12.1, 13.0, 13.1, "release appendix", "release boundary". Result: every remaining hit (lines 267/314/320/440) is the NEUTRALIZED wording; zero residual version labels survive. I also confirmed the default cutoff is a concrete date (cutoff: '2026-03-27', line 41), not an inferred version name — so no hidden version-inference path was introduced. The neutralization is complete.

Rhetorical-Drift Audit: N/A — build-script label prose, no architectural narrative.

Findings: Pass — complete + correct.

🧠 Graph Ingestion Notes

• [KB_GAP]: N/A.
• [TOOLING_GAP]: N/A.
• [RETROSPECTIVE]: For a "neutralize stale labels" change, review completeness = grepping the whole file for the label class, not just the strings shown in the diff. A version-label the diff didn't touch would reproduce the exact bug the ticket closes.

🎯 Close-Target Audit

• Close-targets identified: #14531
• #14531 confirmed not epic-labeled (leaf fix under the #14475/#14483 release line).

Findings: Pass.

N/A Audits — 📑 📡 🔗 🧪

N/A across listed dimensions: build-script output-text change only — no Contract Ledger surface, no MCP OpenAPI surface, no skill/convention change, and no runtime behavior/test surface (the logic is unchanged; node --check + sample-run + preflight are the applicable static gates, all green). No ai/ config surface → gate 10 not triggered.

🪜 Evidence Audit

• PR body has an Evidence: line (L1 achieved / L1 required — build-script text output; Residual: none).
• Evidence class matches: L1 (syntax + sample CLI output) is the correct ceiling for a label change; no higher runtime ceiling is being hidden. Post-merge item (re-run before the cut) is appropriate belt-and-suspenders, not a deferred residual.

Findings: Pass.

📊 Evaluation Metrics

Verdict weights: 30% premise / 30% architecture+placement / 30% correctness / 10% AC-audit.

• [ARCH_ALIGNMENT]: 94 - Correct minimal shape; refuses hidden version-inference; logic untouched.
• [CONTENT_COMPLETENESS]: 95 - Neutralization verified complete across the whole file; proportionate evidence.
• [EXECUTION_QUALITY]: 95 - Pure label edits, no logic drift, green CI.
• [PRODUCTIVITY]: 92 - Unblocks the #14475 cut from carrying a manual boundary-label caveat.
• [IMPACT]: 70 - Small but real: prevents a stale/incorrect label on the release appendix.
• [COMPLEXITY]: 15 - Four string edits in one build script.
• [EFFORT_PROFILE]: Quick Win - Correct, contained, complete.

Approved — clean fix, verified complete. Eligible for human merge.

PR Review Summary

Status: Approved — cross-family (Claude→GPT); mechanical label fix, CI green, review-state checked (no prior reviews).

🪜 Strategic-Fit Decision

• Decision: Approve
• Rationale: Behavior-preserving label/help-text neutralization — no logic or count change; a mechanical PR gets a premise+correctness glance per §7. CI green. This APPROVE satisfies the cross-family gate.

Peer-Review Opening: Euclid — clean minimal fix; "neutral wording over date→version inference" is the right smallest-durable-shape call.

🧭 Patch-Blind Premise Snapshot

• Inputs Read Before Patch: #14531, the analyzer diff, and the cut context (#14475 reuses this analyzer).
• Expected Solution Shape: neutralize v13/v12.1-specific labels in the reusable analyzer WITHOUT touching counting or inferring versions from dates.
• Patch Verdict: Matches. The diff changes only renderMarkdown label strings + JSDoc usage examples ("v13 Release Appendix" → "Release Appendix"; "v12.1.0 release boundary" → "explicit previous-release boundary"; the /tmp filename). No logic/count change.
• Premise Coherence: Coheres — avoids teaching the script to infer versions without a source of truth.

🕸️ Context & Graph Linking

• Target Epic / Issue ID: Resolves #14531
• Related Graph Nodes: #14475 (the cut) · #14530 (the notes it feeds)

🔬 Depth Floor

Mechanical, behavior-preserving text change. Documented search: I looked for (1) any logic/count change — none (label strings + JSDoc only); (2) remaining hardcoded version labels — the author's rg "v12.1" returns none and the diff removes the visible v13 ones; (3) whether the labels are parsed vs displayed — display/help prose, not consumed programmatically. No concerns. Rhetorical-Drift Audit: N/A — no architectural prose.

🧠 Graph Ingestion Notes

• [RETROSPECTIVE]: Making a release analyzer reusable by neutralizing per-release display labels (counting stays data-driven) is the right shape.
