Source Issue

Refs #181
Refs #172

Status

Round 25 full twelve-pass orthogonal verification is in progress against the corrected exact stack and synchronized live issue/PR metadata. Round 24 findings were published before edits and corrected in architecture only. This PR remains a draft, contains architecture only, and must not be merged or treated as implementation authorization.

Summary

Defines the release-critical S6 proof system for Epic #172: exact contract fixtures, real PostgreSQL/routes/workers, thin Playwright operator flows, a separately trusted supported-host controller, signed evidence, output quarantine, teardown/destruction proof, and the ten-node activation gate.

Scope

  • Documentation and test architecture only; no production admission-policy change, implementation, commit automation, or merge authorization.
  • Owns fixtures, partitions, controller seams, supported-host proof, evidence envelopes, release receipts, stop conditions, and operator verification.
  • Imports S1–S5 production contracts without widening or reinterpreting them.

Integrated Review Rounds

Findings Corrected

  • Restored the exact ten-node runtime graph, compatible S5/disabled-S6 placement, post-activation proof, final readiness, and readiness-before-root-scrub rule.
  • Forbade direct retry from bare not_started; only exact durable definitive_not_started may authorize it.
  • Made surviving orphaned invoking recover to uncertain; only the still-live owner may commit returned.
  • Qualified packet-artifact cardinality on coherent terminalization/authorized repair and removed unsafe liveness promises when host/containment proof is unavailable.
  • Added copied-principal token, historical-plan-sink, no-op producer, legacy-digest, crash-after-return-before-CAS, and unavailable-host sentinels.
  • Preserved the external-controller trust boundary, exact GitHub App/check identity, zero-egress runner, signed output allowlist, and teardown/destruction receipt.
  • Added pre-Step-0-schema bootstrap proof, all-node Ed25519 and canonical-transition duplicate tests, and atomic dual-consumption rollback/replay races.
  • Added the exact 1,560-second provisional enablement window, inspect/disable commands, controller/suite/database/check failure closure, and final promotion proof.
  • Added duplicate-key-before-JSONB, protocol-v2 null-identity, human-session/package-session_user reader, historical task-log scrub, append-only reapproval/index migration, branded S5 join, and eight-head attack matrices.
  • Imported distinct durable-evidence and transition-authorization domains, exact authorization-attempt terminology, the direct-controller rotating lease, sole authoritative state enum, replacement pending gate, and exact 660-second five-phase proof.

Round 24 Corrections

  • Imported the exact final public.sessions digest/expiry/revocation/rekey migration and its valid, expiry, cache-failure, crash/resume, concurrency, and raw-key-removal regressions.
  • Imported the exact 32-byte controller secret/digest constants, helper names, shared fixture/vector, constant-time comparison, and negative/race matrix.
  • Required S3 to consume one fresh exact unexpired transition authorization separately from durable Step 0 evidence before recording s3_issue_178.
  • Corrected duplicated normative wording and recorded the Round 24 rationale in the review-amendment history.

Cross-Slice Contracts

  • Imports S3’s lock/grant/reconciliation contracts, S4’s typed evidence/recovery/three-lease contracts, and S5’s compatible presentation mapping.
  • Does not create production enums, action identities, migrations, grants, retries, or artifacts.
  • Uses the one [FEATURE] S4 — Specialist prompt and bounded context packet assembly with run evidence #179-owned release manifest and proves separate code dependency and runtime activation.
  • Records s5_s6_release_ready only after ingress/issuance enablement evidence; legacy-root scrub is forbidden before that exact receipt.

Remaining Implementation Risks

Architecture readiness is not release proof. Implementation must still execute real PostgreSQL interleavings, supported Ubuntu containment, distinct principals, copied-token attacks, controller signature/App checks, zero-egress and output-leak sentinels, teardown/destruction, exact manifest counts, and every stop condition.

Exact Implementation Order

  1. [FEATURE] S1 — Unified MCP admission contract and capability taxonomy #176 / S1 — canonical MCP admission.
  2. [FEATURE] S2 — Consolidate MCP admission onto the shared core and enforce it at approval #177 / S2 — planning and handoff persistence.
  3. [FEATURE] S4 — Specialist prompt and bounded context packet assembly with run evidence #179 Step 0 — retention bridge; close and drain all project-management ingress.
  4. [FEATURE] S3 — Deterministic bounded filesystem context grant/denial recovery #178 / S3 — filesystem grant recovery and canonical lock manifest.
  5. Remaining [FEATURE] S4 — Specialist prompt and bounded context packet assembly with run evidence #179 / S4 — bounded packet issuance, evidence, and recovery.
  6. [FEATURE] S5 — Unified operator UI copy and recovery-action contract for MCP admission #180 / S5 — compatible operator readers and presentation.
  7. [FEATURE] S6 — End-to-end MCP admission regression (tiny task-tracker flow) and preview==handoff invariant #181 / S6 — disabled controller and pre-activation evidence.
  8. Controlled activation, then exact post-activation evidence while writers and ingress stay closed.
  9. Open the signed ingress_and_issuance_enabled node as the non-extendable 1,560-second provisional operation; every boundary also requires the direct-controller 10-second heartbeat and at-most-45-second live lease_expires_at.
  10. Run the exact no-retry 60+30+420+120+30 = 660-second enabled proof; atomically consume both enablement and enabled_build_tests_green, append s5_s6_release_ready, and promote only that exact live operation.
  11. Only then run the legacy-root scrub.

Architecture review update

Completed two orthogonal architecture passes for #181.

Round 1 findings addressed

Architecture updates are in docs/architecture/issue-181-review-amendments.md.

Round 2 result

No further architecture findings identified in the reviewed scope. #181 remains test-only and must not introduce test-only production bypasses or a second admission implementation.

This is an architecture-only PR and does not implement #181.

Integrated architecture review — round 3 findings (before correction)

Verdict: Needs architecture changes. Implementation must not proceed from this revision.

High — the required failure/recovery matrix is absent

  • Architecture: docs/architecture/issue-181-e2e-admission-regression.md:90-161 covers representative flows and race bullets, but not the complete lifecycle.
  • Failure: orphan runs, burned nonces, missing artifacts, task dead-ends, and unsafe automatic retry can all escape the suite.
  • Invariant/downstream: [FEATURE] S6 — End-to-end MCP admission regression (tiny task-tracker flow) and preview==handoff invariant #181 must prove the integrated S3/S4 state machine, not just happy paths.
  • Smallest correction: add an exact table for before approval; after approval/pre-handoff; execution/issuance claim transaction rollback; post-claim/preassembly; assembly; assembled/pre-exposure; submission; submitted/pre-finalize; artifact upsert; Redis loss; restart; and lease expiry. Each row names package/task, nonce, claim, run, artifact, operator action, auto-recovery, and owning lower slice.
  • Proof: one sentinel per row, including concurrent finalizers and both lease orderings.

High — migration/mixed-version/rollback proof is unowned

Current schema lacks nonce/claim fields and artifact uniqueness. S6 must exercise additive expand, dual read/write, legacy allow_once fail-closed, historical audit unknown_legacy, worker protocol gate/drain, cutover, and forward-only schema rollback. Include old-web/new-worker and new-web/old-worker compatibility fixtures; prove an old issuer cannot run after v2 claims exist.

Medium — CI partitioning has no executable commands or numeric budgets

The amendment asks for partitions but web/package.json currently exposes only generic test and e2e. Define exact scripts/tags and budgets for fast invariant, PostgreSQL integration, issuance race/recovery, and thin Playwright suites; use bounded barriers and workers=1 where the shared database requires it. Upload sanitized tuple/ID diagnostics only.

Medium — lease tests cannot use a mocked worker clock

Lines 191-199 say “fixed clocks.” Claim/expiry comparisons must use PostgreSQL time. Use database timestamps, relative expired rows, and deterministic barriers; test both lock acquisition orders and ownership compare-and-set failure.

Coverage gaps

  • GitHub planning context with materialized overlay must stay allowed when health is absent, unhealthy, disabled, or auth-required; it is not runtime health-gated.
  • Both allow_once and always_allow packet runs need per-run claims; one-time adds nonce uniqueness.
  • Persistence-wide sentinels must query task logs, audit/artifact JSON, run errors, exports, and captured diagnostics for paths, packet content, rejected overlays, fake system markers, and credential-like text. Current prompt-log sanitization must remain intact.
  • ADR 0008’s older denied/missing runtime-audit wording is superseded: a preclaim S3 hold has a package marker/task log but no run, issuance audit, or packet artifact.
  • Add migration/schema/index/conflict-predicate introspection and deliberate mutation sentinels.

Inspected scope: all slice/ADR documents, current route/handoff/executor/schema/migration, package scripts/CI shape, real-PostgreSQL concurrency spec, and UI test seams. Confidence: high. Provider-specific ACP cancellation and rendered UI remain unchecked; this is not proof of correctness.

Integrated architecture review — round 7 findings before correction

The fresh integrated pass found the following S6 evidence gaps:

  1. Test both epoch lock orderings under the exact supported isolation protocol, plus a genuine pre-trigger drain and every post-cutover claim mode (packet, packet-free, and no-op handoff).
  2. Exercise the real generic handoff selector so a valid packet_issuance marker can never be promoted automatically, including sibling-completion continuation and post-submission acknowledgement states.
  3. Add the missing crash point after terminal packet audit/artifact commit but before run/package/lease cleanup; prove the S4 repair is idempotent and does not rewrite immutable evidence or resubmit.
  4. Replace independent enum checks with an expected valid/invalid terminal and recovery tuple matrix, including assembled/not_exposed failure and accepted-but-invalid submitted failure.
  5. Make the static manifest use project-qualified execution keys so one operator source scenario can run once on desktop and once on mobile without violating global uniqueness. Preserve static expected → collected → first-attempt executed equality for Vitest and Playwright.
  6. Prove the S4 sibling-task reconciler exposes actions only after the last live lease ends, and prove absolute/relative path-bearing exceptions never enter packet-owned persistence, logs, events, APIs, or copy.

These are architecture/test-contract corrections only. The PR remains draft and no production feature or merge is part of this pass.

Integrated architecture review — Round 8 findings (before correction)

Verdict for this round: blocked because S6 does not yet prove four newly exposed cross-slice boundaries.

  1. Add failure injection after a valid submitted response for every closed stage: sandbox apply, validation, host apply (including failure after one successful file), repository evidence, and completion/review-gate materialization. Assert one external submission, exact terminal tuple, immutable packet evidence, no automatic resubmission, and bounded possible-partial-write recovery copy.
  2. Split the seeded terminal-audit/live-package repair row. Terminal failure must preserve the exact immutable failure code/delivery; terminal success may take only a fully proven success reconstruction or a neutral non-retryable integrity hold. Audit/artifact mismatch must fail closed.
  3. Add two-order barrier races between stale S4 recovery and packet-free/handoff-only ready → running claims. Every writer must contend on task then package, and recovery must lock all sibling packages before deciding task running → approved.
  4. Add durable-state presenter tests proving a new web/worker process renders only persisted live stages; non-durable failed_finalizing states must not be synthesized.

Release proof must also exercise the actual checked-in epoch-activation command/runbook under both bridge-trigger orderings and a genuine pre-trigger worker fixture.

Inspected stack head: 6598f7926c90ed50e2a2b01f0ff5cfeacda87c4c. This is a scoped architecture/current-call-path review, not proof of correctness.

Round 8 addendum — additional required races

S6 must also cover:

  • atomic finalizer versus a stale review-gate decision in both lock orderings, proving top-down gate locking and in-transaction source-run/artifact/package/lease freshness;
  • pairwise packet, packet-free, and handoff-only claims in both orderings, proving all siblings are locked and eligibility is recomputed under lock so only one specialist runs;
  • definitive submission_failed staged immediately before a crash, proving recovery preserves submission_rejected instead of reclassifying the terminal tuple as lease expiry;
  • recovery-marker validation against the exact prior audit/artifact, including mismatch and terminal-success/failure-marker rejection.

Integrated architecture review — Round 9 downstream findings (before correction)

S6 must add executable proof for the post-submission quiescence contract:

  • lease expiry/recovery before the first host rename, between two renames, and after the final rename before evidence persistence;
  • crash after applying intent and after rename/before applied, yielding bounded unknown ledger state;
  • recovery and stale worker contend on the host fence in both orderings, with no actionable marker/new run until quiescence;
  • exact ledger-fingerprint acknowledgement is required before retry after unknown/partial host state;
  • pre-transaction completion_preparation failure persists the closed stage, while gate/finalizer transaction failure fully rolls back and persists no such cause;
  • one deduplicated bounded integrity alert, Release/DevOps runbook existence, unauthorized repair rejection, compare-and-set fingerprint protection, and append-only resolution evidence;
  • static documentation/operator-copy sentinel that ADR 0008 never claims ACP host confinement or already-implemented S4–S6 behavior.

Round 9 addendum — final state/order tests

Add these S6 proofs before readiness:

  • later package claim and packet recovery versus an awaiting_review sibling and review decision in both orderings; no claim/CTA until required gates complete;
  • duplicate action, exact replay, one-time reapproval, success repair, and review decision races across the complete artifact → recovery-action → review-gate tail;
  • every normal retry/acknowledgement/reapproval path leaves both integrity-hold reasons unchanged; only authorized fingerprint-bound privileged repair may resolve one.

Integrated architecture review — Round 10 downstream finding (before correction)

S6 must include host-ledger and integrity alert/resolution rows in the declared complete lock tail and race per-file intent/outcome, quiescence alert insertion, privileged repair, recovery, and finalization in both relevant orderings. No transaction may wait for the host fence while holding a database row lock.

Integrated architecture review — Round 10 additional blocking finding

Severity: High
Disposition: Blocking until the upstream S4 fence contract and S6 coverage are corrected

Project management can bypass the host-effect exclusion boundary

The S6 matrix does not race host apply/recovery against project-root repoint, project deletion, path swaps, or reuse of the same canonical host path by another project. A project-ID-only worker/recovery fence cannot exclude those current management-route filesystem operations.

Required S6 additions:

  • host apply versus project localPath repoint;
  • host apply versus project deletion/recursive cleanup;
  • two-project same-path and path-reuse attempts;
  • old/new root dual-fence acquisition in both orderings;
  • management-route crash/retry and bounded wait/reject behavior;
  • proof that no database lock is held while acquiring either host-root fence.

The same pass also found two stale shorthand lock-tail summaries in this PR/ADR that still say artifacts → actions → gates. They must include host ledgers/entries and integrity alerts/resolutions.

The upstream design correction belongs in #198; this PR must consume and prove it.

Integrated architecture review — Round 10 test-contract addendum

PR #200 must consume the full Round 10 corrections and prove the following missing cases:

  1. two project IDs using the same canonical physical root, including symlink/alias/case variants;
  2. active apply versus root repoint, delete, old/new path swap, and later path reuse, with dual fences acquired in both deterministic orderings;
  3. recovery on the wrong/unreachable host remains alert-only;
  4. worker death with a stubborn descendant cannot release the resource fence until the entire supervised process group exits;
  5. S3 grant denial/revocation versus a sibling awaiting_review and both review decisions;
  6. every acknowledgement, retry, one-time resolution, success repair, integrity adjudication, and gate decision uses host ledgers → all artifacts → recovery actions → integrity rows → gates;
  7. activation rejects missing, stale, extra, incompatible, or undrained host registrations and records the exact capability snapshot;
  8. every valid and invalid terminal/effect/ledger/host-review cross-product, including stage equality and success with no incomplete/unknown ledger entries; and
  9. a true audit/artifact mismatch reaches only the authorized append-only quarantine/abandon outcome and can never become retryable.

The two stale shorthand summaries in this PR/ADR that say artifacts → actions → gates must also be expanded to the complete tail.

CI manifest, budget, no-skip/no-retry, and forward-schema rollback design were otherwise coherent in this pass. Runtime/PostgreSQL/process-tree/browser proof remains an implementation prerequisite.

Integrated architecture review — Round 11 test findings

S6 must add two exact cases from the fresh state-table pass:

  1. wrong-host recovery with effectIntent:'not_started' checks the locked run/package host pin without reading a nonexistent intent host; wrong-host active/quiesced recovery checks both;
  2. atomic replacement succeeds but the subsequent applying → applied persistence fails (and ownership loss races that update). The live owner maps uncertainty to unknown under the resource fence or remains nonterminal for recovery, terminal failure requires exact fingerprint-bound host review, and terminal success is rejected.

The expected effect/ledger table and PostgreSQL/finalizer/parser fixtures must consume these same outcomes.

Integrated architecture review — Round 11 lifecycle test addendum

S6 must add exact executable barriers for:

  1. every pre-v2 approval lacking root-binding evidence remains non-issuable and requires explicit reapproval; no command can “prove” historical authority from today's path;
  2. protocol-v2 project deletion becomes a tombstone and retains every evidence/action/alert/resolution row while releasing only the live root/path binding;
  3. two creates for one nonexistent destination, clone loser cleanup, crash at every reservation/materialization/bind step, aliases beneath the same canonical parent, and deletion/recreation object-identity mismatch;
  4. post-activation unregistered, stale, draining, wrong-host, insufficient-supervisor, and divergent-binding-key same-host workers fail at the running-transition trigger; exact instance ID is pinned;
  5. supervisor-first, worker-first, simultaneous death, descriptor close, setsid/double-fork, ACP descendants, validation children, read, submission, rename, and finalizer boundaries remain actionless unless the OS containment adapter proves the group empty;
  6. old project create/repoint writers race activation before/after statement two; epoch-1 writes invalidate binding and epoch-2 malformed/legacy writes are rejected;
  7. binding-key backup/rotation requires disabled issuance, drained instances, tombstoned/or explicitly rebound roots, and a new audited activation snapshot.

The canonical lock-order assertions must include worker-instance rows immediately after the protocol epoch.

Integrated architecture review — Round 11 evidence-bypass test addendum

S6 must add exact executable cases for both new S4 blockers:

  1. An unconfined ACP runtime changes the repository before Forge's first local stage, then succeeds, crashes, or leaves submission uncertain. Baseline/post-quiescence fingerprints are captured under the resource fence; detected or unverifiable changes require exact fingerprint-bound review and block acknowledgement, retry, reapproval, root management, and new execution.
  2. Sibling Q has a quiesced packet marker with an unknown host-ledger outcome and required review; sibling P has a true audit/artifact mismatch. Quarantining P must not cancel away Q's root-management barrier. Repoint, tombstone/delete, and path reuse remain blocked until an authorized repository-abandonment action binds every affected marker, baseline/change fingerprint, ledger fingerprint, and review disposition.

Run each lifecycle in both transaction orderings and prove no database lock is held while waiting for the namespace, resource, or containment fence.

Integrated architecture review — Round 12 test findings (before correction)

S6 must add two exact downstream assertions:

  1. PostgreSQL constraints, finalizers, repair, parsers, APIs, and S5 reject every successful terminal tuple with repository comparison changed|unverifiable or repository review review_required|reviewed. Only unchanged + not_applicable can succeed; changed/unverifiable produces one failed external-change marker/action flow.
  2. Project deletion uses the existing archived_at lifecycle field as the sole tombstone predicate. Live-root uniqueness, normal-list filtering, task creation, evidence/history access, root reuse, and hard-purge rejection must not depend on a second deleted_at state.

Integrated architecture review — Round 12 additional test findings (before correction)

S6 must add exact failure-injection coverage for two corrected lifecycle contracts:

  1. Two-phase binding-key rotation: disabled ingress, fully drained old fleet, pending-key/token creation, bounded batch compare-and-set of every live root and reservation, complete-set verification, atomic promotion/credential rotation, and deterministic crash resume or rollback at every batch and promotion boundary. Old and pending writers must never be simultaneously authoritative.
  2. Reservation writer identity: planning, materialization, cleanup, and bind lock and validate protocol epoch -> exact root-writer instance -> reservation after the namespace fence is held. Tests must reject stale, draining, unregistered, wrong-host, wrong-key, and wrong-credential-generation writers after planning and after filesystem creation, and cover activation/drain races without leaking or deleting another reservation's root.

Integrated architecture review — Round 12 state-machine test finding (before correction)

S6 must exhaust the corrected disjoint success branches:

  • no response-driven local stage: succeeded + not_started + no ledger + host review not_applicable + repository unchanged/not_applicable;
  • one or more local stages: succeeded + quiesced(actualLastStage), with a complete applied ledger when a host-write plan exists, no uncertain/incomplete entries, host review not_applicable, and repository unchanged/not_applicable.

Database constraints, finalizer, repair, parser, API, and S5 fixtures must reject success in the generic pre-stage row, a fabricated quiesced stage for no-effect work, and every incomplete/unknown ledger cross-product.

Integrated architecture review — Round 12 recovery and presentation test findings (before correction)

S6 must add exact coverage for three corrected contracts:

  1. Worker W1 claims and crashes; a fresh registered same-host W2 is durably selected as the recovery owner, both historical/current instance rows are locked in ascending order after the epoch, and W2 alone may recover under a new token/lease. Reject stale, draining, wrong-host/key/protocol/containment W2 and any process that reuses W1's stable instance ID.
  2. S5's authoritative join compares packet marker/artifact, host ledger/review, and the complete repository baseline/change/review fingerprint. Missing or mismatched repository evidence produces a neutral integrity hold and no action.
  3. Normal repository review accepts only not_applicable|review_required|reviewed; abandoned exists only in the separate integrity-quarantine resolution. Exhaust SQL/S4/parser/S5 parity and prove that only the exact fingerprint-bound acknowledgement may cross the review barrier to complete it.

Integrated architecture review — Round 12 corrections

Corrected in e3ed7e48:

S6 now requires exact SQL/finalizer/repair/parser/API/S5 and race/failure-injection coverage for the corrected success tuples, review-first action flow, repository-evidence joins, audit-versus-quarantine abandonment, sibling local-change barriers, authenticated W2 recovery, protected per-run containment/service attacks, bounded scanning, hierarchical root exclusion, writer-pinned reservations, archived-project cancellation, rootless projects, monotonic root revisions, two-phase key rotation, and the post-drain root-trigger/activation sequence.

The failure matrix and rollout rehearsal use the exact binding and activation commands, preserve immutable delivery, and keep the four PRs draft-only.

Validation: documentation-only diff; git diff --check passed; branch stack rebased and pushed. Round 13 will re-run all 12 passes from this integrated head before readiness is declared.

Ultra-deep orthogonal review of DeepSeek's integrated S6 head e93fa2914a273cc9c745c71b030bb4014fc5cad7.

Verdict: blocked — three required partitions contain zero tests, the issuance command is silently overridden, release transitions are mock-only, raw reports can escape quarantine, and the integrated suite has 8 regressions. TypeScript, lint, production build, and the six-test contract partition pass; those results do not establish the required behavior.

Axes inspected: manifest/runner integrity, release-store/controller reachability, CI composition, output quarantine, lower-slice regression, and external trust prerequisites. Confidence: high for repository-owned behavior. Not proof of correctness; the external exact-App controller, ephemeral VM, signed destruction, and ruleset state remain unverified.

[P0 blocker — advertised suites do not execute the manifest]

web/package.json contains test:mcp:issuance twice: the correct manifest-backed Playwright command at line 44 is silently overwritten by the later S4 Vitest command at line 57. npm run test:mcp:issuance consequently passes 17 passed | 5 skipped without collecting the three issuance scenario IDs or enforcing deadline/skip/retry rules.

The sources contain no @mcp-postgres, @mcp-issuance, or @mcp-operator tests. Exact playwright test --list for each configured project/grep returns No tests found / Total: 0; npm run test:mcp:postgres and npm run e2e:mcp-operator both return MCP_PLAYWRIGHT_CONTRACT_REJECTED. Yet mcp-admission-v2.json advertises 2 PostgreSQL, 3 issuance, and 1+1 operator executions.

Recommendation: keep one unique S6-owned issuance script, implement the exact tagged Playwright scenarios, and make the wrapper prove manifest expected IDs = collected IDs = first-attempt executed IDs with zero skips/retries for every partition. Add a duplicate-JSON-key/static script ownership sentinel.

Fifth-pass status at 6d5c038: unresolved and blocking. The manifest lists exact Playwright scenario IDs, but each configured project currently collects zero tests: postgres, issuance, operator desktop, and operator mobile. A missing-environment unit test cannot satisfy the signed-evidence Step-0 adapter scenario.

Exact implementation:

  1. Add tagged Playwright specs whose test IDs exactly match every manifest scenario:
    • postgres: mcp-admission.grant-reconciliation, mcp-admission.real-approval-route
    • issuance: mcp-admission.allow-once-single-winner, mcp-admission.always-allow-single-run-claim, mcp-admission.failure-recovery-atomicity
    • desktop/mobile: mcp-admission.operator-recovery
  2. Make collection fail unless collected IDs equal the manifest IDs exactly—no extras, omissions, aliases, or filtered-out tests.
  3. Require first-attempt pass with zero skipped/retried tests and persist per-scenario assertions/evidence.
  4. Give the missing-env contract its own manifest scenario; the signed-evidence adapter scenario must invoke the real production adapter/routine.

Final-head reassessment at 40e4739: test collection is repaired but this thread remains partially open. The strict wrappers now collect and execute exactly PostgreSQL 2, issuance 3, desktop 1, and mobile 1 with no skips/retries; Web CI 29641845682 is green. The signed-evidence Step-0 adapter scenario still proves only the missing-environment rejection rather than a real committed transition, so the final requirement is not resolved.

[P0 blocker — Step-0-backed release transitions are arbitrary callbacks]

epic-172-s6-release-adapter.ts:84-113 accepts recordOwnedEvidence and consumeOwnedTransition callbacks and simply returns them. A no-op/vi.fn satisfies the contract; no dedicated principal, transaction, predecessor consumption, receipt, state CAS, or committed identity is observed. The adapter and controller evaluator are unused outside unit tests, so no CLI/worker/controller consumes a signed bundle or records/promotes/disables anything.

Recommendation: provide the concrete Step-0 database adapter under the exact transition principal, bind owner/build/SHA/epoch/controller/predecessors/authorization, and atomically append consumption + signed result + state transition. Wire controller outcomes to it and refuse success until committed identities are returned. Verify expiry, replay, substitution, concurrent winner, rollback, and receipt/state atomicity in real PostgreSQL.

Follow-up on 3a562418: unresolved. Calling assertEpic172S6ReleaseOrderOwnership only validates static node ownership.

Third pass: the new “production adapter” is a fresh P0 blocker, not a working Step-0 transition. It uses ordinary db despite release-table denial and direct INSERTs instead of fixed routines. Evidence insert omits mandatory owner/build/SHA/predecessor/controller/digest/signature/nonce fields, supplies nonexistent schemaVersion, and hides errors with as unknown as. DB generates a different receipt UUID than the returned envelope ID. Consumption references evidence/authorization rows the adapter never correctly records, uses app time, performs no expiry/source-set/replay/state CAS, and is separate from evidence recording. The factory has no caller/test. Replace it with one fixed-principal, verifier-bound, atomic DB transition returning committed identities.

Fourth pass: the new atomic function is nonfunctional and unused. SET LOCAL ROLE runs outside the transaction and cannot change the session_user checked by routines. It calls S3’s lock-only lock_epic_172_s3_completion_v1, declared RETURNS void, but selects nonexistent receipt fields. It misuses operationId as predecessor receipt and controllerIdentity as signer key; consumerNode/buildSha/reviewedSha are unused. It verifies/writes/consumes/transitions nothing and has no caller/test. The prior invalid production adapter also remains. Replace both with one called, verified fixed-principal atomic recorder/consumer.

Fifth-pass status at 6d5c038: partially remediated, still blocking. Removing the unused adapter/factory eliminates duplicate surface, but executeEpic172S6AtomicTransition is still not a production transition. It has no production caller, uses SET LOCAL ROLE outside a transaction, calls the S3 completion lock that returns void, selects nonexistent receipt fields, misbinds identifiers, ignores node/build/reviewed SHA, and performs no signature verification, evidence consumption, or state transition. The revised test proves only rejection when a URL is absent.

Exact implementation:

  1. Define one dedicated S6 completion SECURITY DEFINER SQL routine owned by the release owner and executable only by the transition login; assert exact session_user in the routine.
  2. Accept and validate the complete signed envelope/authorization tuple, node identity, build/reviewed SHA, predecessor receipts, signers, and database expiry.
  3. Lock authorization, predecessors, signers, and release state in canonical order; verify exact bindings/replay/expiry, insert evidence plus consumptions, and CAS the release state atomically.
  4. Return an explicit table containing receipt_id and transition_identity_digest.
  5. In TypeScript, connect directly with the transition URL, verify both session_user/current_user without SET ROLE, run the JavaScript signature verifier, call the routine inside one transaction, and return only committed IDs.
  6. Wire the production controller/evaluator to this function so any verification/persistence failure prevents success.
  7. Add real-PG tests for wrong principal, invalid signature, expiry equality, replay, predecessor/signer/SHA/build/node substitution, rollback, and concurrent single winner.

Those trees may contain raw traces, screenshots/video, stdout/stderr, prompts, paths, tokens, or repository content. No strict allowlist/schema scan/path-free signed manifest gates the upload.

[P0 blocker — integrated regression suite is red despite a healthy build]

On local head e93fa291, TypeScript, lint, next build, and test:mcp:contract pass, but the full Vitest run fails 8 tests across 5 files. S6's replacement web-ci.yml drops the ordinary-app role provisioning, mandatory S3 PostgreSQL concurrency job, and dedicated Step-0 disabled-ingress proof. Host-boundary tests break Step-0 static classification/skip-list invariants. The S5 stack also returns a non-null D1 pointer and re-enables terminal-task deletion UI.

Focused evidence: epic-172-release-recorder, epic-172-s3-release, epic-172-s6-ci-contract, epic-172-step0-e2e-bridge, and task-page-retry-handoff report 8 failed / 41 passed. This is a cross-slice composition failure, not an isolated flaky test.

Recommendation: merge S6 CI additions into the existing Step-0/S3 workflow rather than replacing required steps; preserve bridge classification/disabled-ingress semantics; restore pointer/retention behavior; then require the full suite plus all manifest partitions to pass with zero skips before recording S6 evidence.

[Release blocker — external trust evidence is not established by this PR]

The checked-in self-hosted workflow explicitly says it is advisory, and the controller CLI remains disabled/unreachable without the external socket. Repository state cannot prove that the exact GitHub App owns the required check, the ruleset pins its App ID, the controller verifies signed envelopes, or the ephemeral VM/database/harness is destroyed with zero residue.

Recommendation: keep this PR draft/blocked after repository fixes until Release/DevOps supplies current external evidence for exact-App ruleset binding, reviewed SHA/image/boot identity, manifest-complete first-attempt execution, output quarantine, teardown, and signed destruction.

The input description says this is an exact reviewed SHA, but it is not enforced here, so an environment approval can still run unreviewed code against the trusted sockets. Add a pre-checkout guard that accepts only the expected hex SHA form, or have the external controller resolve and pass an immutable commit.

P2 Badge Replace the S3 void lock with an S6 transition

When executeEpic172S6AtomicTransition is called with a real transition database URL, this query tries to read receipt_id and transition_identity_digest from forge.lock_epic_172_s3_completion_v1, but that existing routine is the S3 completion lock and returns void; it also does not append or consume any S6 receipt for s6_pre_activation_green, s6_post_activation_green, or s5_s6_release_ready. As a result the S6 controller path cannot record the transition it claims to perform. Route this adapter through the release transition/consumption routine that returns the receipt data for the requested S6 node instead of selecting columns from the S3 lock.
