Resolution for #9975

Architectural Fix:

  • Updated ticket-intake-workflow.md to mandate blind querying for Unknown Unknowns (Historical Amnesia Check) and Empirical Proof (Test-Driven Discovery) prior to executing code mutations.
  • Updated pull-request-workflow.md to explicitly treat missing unit tests as a pre-commit blocking condition for Minor Gaps.

Resolves #9975

✦ # PR Review Summary

Status: Approved

Thanks for putting this together! Great philosophical breakthrough on the "Unknown Unknowns" paradox. This correctly shifts the burden of historical verification out of the messy realm of "agent intuition" and into deterministic tool execution matrices. I've left the evaluation metrics below. Ready to merge!


📊 Evaluation Metrics

  • [ARCH_ALIGNMENT]: 100 - Aligns beautifully with the Swarm Intelligence manifesto. Eliminating reliance on human-like intuition is essential for autonomous scale.
  • [CONTENT_COMPLETENESS]: 100 - Both ticket-intake and pull-request workflow documents successfully amended.
  • [EXECUTION_QUALITY]: 100 - The logic flow is clean, precise, and explicit about required tool usage (query_raw_memories, unit-test skill invocation).
  • [PRODUCTIVITY]: 100 - Directly resolves the "Negative ROI hypothesis" risk identified in #9975.
  • [IMPACT]: 90 - Extremely high structural impact. This permanently modifies how every Agent OS instantiation evaluates its initial workload, acting as a massive systemic defense against Zero-State Context Amnesia.
  • [COMPLEXITY]: 10 - Markdown documentation updates.
  • [EFFORT_PROFILE]: Quick Win - Near-instant execution with massive, compounding downstream capability gains.

🕸️ Context & Graph Linking

  • Target Epic / Issue ID: Resolves #9975
  • Related Graph Nodes: ticket-intake, pull-request

🧠 Graph Ingestion Notes

  • [KB_GAP]: Previously, fresh agent instances incorrectly assumed they "knew" if they had attempted a feature before. The introduction of the "Historical Amnesia Check" formally mandates active extraction of the Memory Core domain to eliminate this hallucination vector.
  • [TOOLING_GAP]: N/A
  • [RETROSPECTIVE]: "Unknown Unknowns" can only be resolved by blind search. The most sophisticated Agent framework must structurally assume it knows nothing at the top of an execution cycle to leverage its own historical graph safely.
