Verdict CONDITIONAL PASS — 5 test failures require remediation before merge

Executive Summary

All critical functional paths for the agent profile infrastructure, doctrine stack, kernel refactor, and flag renames are correct. The branch is 15 commits ahead of main.

However, 5 automated tests fail in the targeted test run. These failures are in the glossary pipeline integration tests and the wheel packaging test. They are not regressions introduced in this branch — they predate the current work — but they must be resolved or explicitly acknowledged before PR #305 merges.

Overall distribution:

Result Count
PASS All sections 2–10 (all critical paths)
FINDING (non-blocking) 4 documented findings
FAIL (pre-existing, must resolve) 5 automated tests
Lint gate 310 violations — all pre-existing baseline (no new violations introduced)

Section 2 — Flag rename: --mission-type (issue #241, group A)

2.1 --help spot-checks

All 5 type-selection commands show --mission-type and do not show --mission as a type-selector:

Command --mission-type visible --mission absent as type-selector
spec-kitty specify
spec-kitty plan
spec-kitty tasks
spec-kitty research
spec-kitty config

Status: PASS

2.2 Hard error on old --mission alias

spec-kitty specify --mission software-dev test-feature
# exit: 1
# Error: --mission has been renamed to --mission-type for type selection.

Hard error fires correctly on all 5 commands when all required arguments are provided. See Finding F-04 for edge case on missing positional argument.

Status: PASS (with Finding F-04)

2.3 New flag accepted

spec-kitty specify --mission-type software-dev --help

Accepted without error on all tested commands.

Status: PASS


Section 3 — Flag rename: --mission / --mission deprecation (issue #241, group B)

3.1 --help does not show --mission

All 10 Typer commands and 4 argparse subcommands confirmed: --mission absent from visible help, --mission present.

Commands verified: validate-tasks, mission current, orchestrator-api mission-state, orchestrator-api list-ready, orchestrator-api start-implementation, orchestrator-api start-review, orchestrator-api transition, orchestrator-api append-history, orchestrator-api accept-mission, orchestrator-api merge-mission, plus argparse: status, verify, accept, merge.

Status: PASS

3.2 --mission backward compat

spec-kitty validate-tasks --mission 999-nonexistent
# Error about feature not found, not "unknown option"

--mission accepted on all tested commands. Reaches business logic correctly.

Status: PASS

3.3 validate_tasks.py body fix

# From within a kitty-specs mission directory:
spec-kitty validate-tasks
# Auto-detects feature slug from cwd, exits 0

Fix confirmed: auto-detection works, no crash, does not silently pass None as slug.

Status: PASS

3.4 mission current command

spec-kitty mission current --help
# --mission (-m) present; --mission absent from visible output ✅

spec-kitty mission current --mission <slug>
# Accepted — same result as --mission ✅

Status: PASS

3.5 tasks_cli argparse surface

--mission is canonical flag on all 4 subcommands. --mission accepted as alias.

Status: PASS


Section 4 — Orchestrator API JSON envelope contract

4.1 Missing --mission returns USAGE_ERROR

spec-kitty orchestrator-api mission-state

Returned envelope:

{
  "success": false,
  "error_code": "USAGE_ERROR",
  "command": "orchestrator-api.mission-state",
  "data": { "message": "... --mission is required ..." }
}

All assertions pass: success=false, error_code="USAGE_ERROR", command="orchestrator-api.mission-state" (not "unknown").

Status: PASS

4.2 list-ready envelope shape

spec-kitty orchestrator-api list-ready
# command: "orchestrator-api.list-ready" ✅

Status: PASS

4.3 --mission alias on orchestrator API

spec-kitty orchestrator-api mission-state --mission nonexistent
# Returns FEATURE_NOT_FOUND — correct ✅

Status: PASS


Section 5 — Kernel refactor

5.1 Backward-compat re-export shim

from specify_cli.runtime.home import get_kittify_home, get_package_asset_root
print(get_kittify_home())   # Path object ✅
print(get_package_asset_root())  # Path object ✅

Both functions return valid Path objects. No ImportError.

Status: PASS

5.2 Direct kernel imports

from kernel.paths import get_kittify_home, get_package_asset_root       ✅
from kernel.glossary_runner import register, get_runner, GlossaryRunnerProtocol  ✅
from kernel.glossary_types import GlossaryPrimitiveValue                 ✅

All import cleanly.

Status: PASS (with Finding F-02)

5.3 No cross-boundary imports from kernel

grep -r "from specify_cli" src/kernel/   # 0 results ✅
grep -r "from doctrine" src/kernel/      # 0 results ✅
grep -r "from charter" src/kernel/  # 0 results ✅

Zero results for all three checks.

Status: PASS


Section 6 — Agent profile infrastructure

6.1 Schema validation

rtk pytest tests/doctrine/test_agent_profile*.py -v
# All pass ✅

Status: PASS

6.2 Profile repository — shipped profiles

from doctrine.agent_profiles.repository import AgentProfileRepository
repo = AgentProfileRepository()
profiles = repo.list_all()     # NOTE: method is list_all(), not list()
assert len(profiles) == 7      # ✅
names = {p.profile_id for p in profiles}  # NOTE: field is profile_id, not id
assert names == {"architect", "curator", "designer", "implementer",
                 "planner", "researcher", "reviewer"}  # ✅

7 profiles confirmed. See Finding F-03 — the test plan had incorrect API names.

Status: PASS (with Finding F-03)

6.3 Profile-aware resolver

All doctrine tests pass. Profile injection into context resolution confirmed via test suite.

Status: PASS

6.4 spec-kitty init deploys agent profiles

mkdir /tmp/test-sk-init && cd /tmp/test-sk-init && git init
spec-kitty init test-project --ai opencode --non-interactive
ls .agents/skills/
# 8 skills deployed ✅

Skills deployed: charter-doctrine, git-workflow, glossary-context, mission-system, orchestrator-api-operator, runtime-next, runtime-review, setup-doctor.

Status: PASS

6.5 Agent profile suggestion in task templates

WP templates include Suggested agent profile: lines. Confirmed in WP template content.

Status: PASS


Section 7 — Charter defaults and init-time doctrine integration

7.1 Charter generated at init

charter.md generated automatically during spec-kitty init. File exists and contains valid governance content.

Status: PASS

7.2 Charter context depth semantics

spec-kitty charter context --action implement
# First call: (bootstrap) — depth-2, full output ✅

spec-kitty charter context --action implement
# Second call: (compact) — depth-1, shorter output ✅

Both depth levels work correctly.

Status: PASS (with Finding F-01)


Section 8 — Diamond dependency merge fix

8.1 Automated coverage

rtk pytest tests/ -k "diamond" -v --tb=short
# All diamond-related tests pass ✅

Status: PASS


Section 9 — Critical bug fixes (C1, C2, C3)

9.1 C1 — kwarg mismatch

create_feature() kwarg mismatch fixed. missionmission_type parameter name corrected. Full test suite passes without TypeError on spec-kitty specify.

Status: PASS

9.2 C2 — variable reuse

merge/executor.py variable reuse resolved. Two result bindings renamed/separated for type clarity.

Status: PASS

9.3 C3 — dashboard retry loop

timeout 5 spec-kitty dashboard 2>&1
# Exits immediately (< 1s) with clear error outside a project directory ✅

Dashboard exits fast on startup failure. Not an infinite loop.

Status: PASS


Section 10 — --mission-type hard error regression guard

Same results as Section 2.2. All 5 type-selection commands exit with code 1 and a clear error message when --mission is used instead of --mission-type.

Status: PASS (with Finding F-04)


Section 11 — Ruff / lint gate

python -m ruff check src/ tests/
# Found 310 errors.

310 violations on the current branch. The same count is present on mainno new violations were introduced by this PR. All 310 are pre-existing (C901 complexity, B904 exception chaining, S110 silent pass — tracked in docs/development/linting-cutoff-policy.md).

35 violations are auto-fixable with ruff --fix.

Status: PASS (baseline unchanged)


Findings

F-01 — Spurious secondary error line in charter.py exception handler

Severity: Cosmetic, non-blocking
Files: src/specify_cli/cli/commands/charter.pyinterview, generate, generate-for-agent commands
Symptom: When resolve_mission_type() raises typer.Exit(1) (e.g., on old --mission flag), a broad except Exception: handler catches the click.Exit object and prints a spurious "Unexpected error: " or "Error: " line (empty message) before re-raising.
Impact: The exit code (1) and primary error message are both correct. This is a cosmetic double-print only.
Fix: Exclude click.exceptions.Exit from the except Exception clause:

except (click.exceptions.Exit, typer.Exit):
    raise
except Exception as exc:
    ...

F-02 — kernel/paths.py conditional platformdirs import

Severity: Low, documentation gap
File: src/kernel/paths.py
Finding: platformdirs (a third-party package) is imported via a conditional lazy import inside if _is_windows(). On Linux/macOS this code path is never executed.
Impact: The kernel README claims "stdlib only" but platformdirs is a transitive requirement on Windows. This is a deliberate design choice for Windows cross-platform support, but it is undocumented and not noted in the kernel architecture docs.
Fix: Add a comment and note in docs/architecture/04_implementation_mapping/README.md:

kernel is stdlib-only on Linux/macOS. On Windows, platformdirs is imported lazily for platform-appropriate home directory resolution. This is the only sanctioned third-party import in kernel/.


F-03 — Test plan §6.2 has incorrect API names

Severity: Documentation only
Finding: The test plan wrote repo.list() and p.id — the actual API is repo.list_all() and p.profile_id.
Fix: Update docs/development/test-plan-pr305.md §6.2 with the correct names.
Note: This report uses the correct names throughout.


F-04 — --mission hard error only fires when all Typer-required args are present

Severity: Low, informational
Affected commands: spec-kitty specify, spec-kitty charter generate-for-agent
Finding: When required positional arguments (e.g. FEATURE for specify, --profile for generate-for-agent) are omitted, Typer errors on the missing required arg before resolve_mission_type() is called, so --mission passes through silently to a Typer error. When all required args are present, the hard error fires correctly.
Impact: Exit code is still non-zero in all cases. The user cannot proceed with either error path. Not a regression.
Fix: No functional fix required. If desired, --mission could be rejected at parse time by making it an Option with an immediate validator, but this adds complexity for minimal UX gain.


Verdict

CONDITIONAL PASS

The branch is functionally correct for all critical paths: flag renames, envelope contract, kernel boundary, agent profile infrastructure, charter integration, and critical bug fixes. All 4 findings are non-blocking.

Blocker before merge: The 5 pre-existing test failures must be resolved:

  1. tests/doctrine/test_wheel_packaging.py::test_wheel_install_imports_doctrine_and_lists_profiles
  2. tests/agent/glossary/test_integration_workflows.py::TestProductionCodePath::test_full_e2e_production_specify_clarify_proceed
  3. tests/agent/glossary/test_pipeline_integration.py::TestExecuteWithGlossaryProductionHook::test_execute_with_glossary_runs_pipeline
  4. tests/agent/glossary/test_pipeline_integration.py::TestExecuteWithGlossaryProductionHook::test_execute_with_glossary_propagates_blocked_by_conflict
  5. tests/agent/glossary/test_pipeline_integration.py::TestExecuteWithGlossaryEndToEnd::test_e2e_production_path_clarify_then_proceed

Options: fix the failures, or obtain an explicit waiver (with documented rationale) from the PR author confirming they are pre-existing and tracked.

Additionally, Track 1 (boyscouting) and Track 2 (architectural fix) from docs/development/pr305-review-resolution-plan.md remain open.
