# CIAgent Grill Report
## Run: 2026-08-12 (mode: interactive, focus: all axes) — v1.23 Nova Deck Cleanup & Python PPTX
## Run: 2026-08-12 (mode: self-grill, focus: all axes) — v1.24 Consumer Guide Accuracy & Env-Promotion Lifecycle Enforcement
### Overall Verdict: PROCEED-WITH-REVISIONS (confidence: 0.78)
### Overall Verdict: PROCEED (confidence: 0.82)
The plan is fundamentally sound — the empirical checks (image format, Marp
`<div>` passthrough, versioning, test-inversion completeness) all pass. But
four binding revisions restructure the wave/phase plan and expand the
"penetrate" purge scope. Two axes were escalated-but-resolved (the empirical
verifications de-risked P2 and P3). The plan proceeds with the revisions
below.
The plan is sound. The user directive is clear and binding. The code
integration points are confirmed by inspection. Two binding revisions
applied (both low-risk doc clarifications). No escalations.
---
### Per-Axis Findings
## Axis 1: Feasibility
#### Axis 1 — Scope / over-reach: PASS (conf 0.80)
Building a whole new `render_pptx.py` + markdown parser is significant for a
"deck cleanup" milestone, but REQ-269 explicitly mandates it, the milestone
is NFR docs/render/test-only (no runtime impact), and the dual-PPTX value
(MARP image-of-slide + python structured/editable) is a real deliverable, not
gold-plating. The G-003 split (P3a/P3b) mitigates the parser-complexity risk.
The plan stays in scope; it does not reach into the deck's 4-beat narrative
arc (out-of-scope section confirms).
**Challenge:** Can `run_platform.sh` Step 0b actually run `terraform
destroy` against the prior env's state without the prior env's AWS
credentials?
#### Axis 2 — Hidden dependencies (P3/P4 "zero file overlap"): REVISE → G-002 (conf 0.85)
The "zero file overlap" claim is true for EDITS but false for VERIFICATION.
P3's `render_pptx.py` parsing logic depends on the deck markdown structure
that P4 is simultaneously trimming; P4's verify step runs `render_slides.sh`
that P3 is mid-editing. **Binding revision G-002:** serialize P3→P4.
**Response:** In the same-account case (the scaffold today, per
`core/environments/dev.json`), yes — the deploy role has access to the
shared state bucket and the resources are in the same account. The
`terraform init -reconfigure` re-points to the prior env's state key
within the same bucket. Cross-account is explicitly out of scope
(D-205). **Confidence: 0.85.**
#### Axis 3 — Test inversion risk: PASS (conf 0.92)
The plan's test-update list (Finding 5 / P5 tasks) is complete and accurate.
Empirically confirmed all affected tests:
- `test_marp_deck_not_using_default_theme` (line 66-74: invert — we now USE
`theme: default`) ✓ plan mentions
- `test_marp_deck_uses_sp_theme` (line 55-64: rewrite to assert inline `style:`
block) ✓ plan mentions
- `test_theme_css_*` trio (lines 275, 284, 295: retarget to inline `style:`) ✓
- `test_html_embeds_theme` (line 353: `--sp-red``#D6002A`) ✓ plan mentions
- `test_source_md_*` pair (lines 240, 266: delete — plain `.md` gone) ✓
- `test_render_slides_script_renders_marp` (line 92: still produces `.pptx`
via marp-cli for the fallback PPTX) — ✓ plan handles
- No latent assertions missed. The plan's enumeration is thorough.
**Challenge:** Does `deletion_protection: false` injection work the same
way as decommission Step 2?
#### Axis 4 — Image-inlining correctness: PASS (conf 0.95)
Empirically verified the rendered HTML at
`docs/presentations/nova-autonomous-cloud-delivery.html` uses plain
`<img src="assets/png/platform-pipeline.png" ...>` and
`<img src="assets/png/telemetry-live-ops.png" ...>` — standard `<img>` tags
inside Marp's SVG `<foreignObject>` wrapper. Zero `xlink:href` occurrences.
The `inline_images.py` regex (`<img\s+src="([^"]+)"`) will match. The 2
`data:image` matches already in the HTML are Marp OSC onscreen-control SVG
icons (CSS backgrounds, not slide images) — not a conflict. **P0 risk
cleared.**
**Response:** Yes. `scripts/run_decommission.sh:34-37` sets
`res['nfrs']['deletion_protection'] = False` on every resource. The
contract resolver propagates `inputs.deletion_protection` to children's
NFRs (`core/contract_resolver.py:360-372`). The env-transition destroy
step must resolve with `environment_override=prior_env` AND inject
`deletion_protection=false` into the contract inputs before resolving.
This is a confirmed pattern. **Confidence: 0.90.**
#### Axis 5 — python-pptx parser complexity: REVISE → G-003 (conf 0.80)
The parser must handle 10+ distinct markdown constructs (frontmatter, `---`
separators, H1/H2, bullets, bold leads, blockquotes, fenced code, images,
markdown tables, `<div class="benefit">` HTML blocks) plus edge cases
(tables with `**bold**` R/A cells, nested bullets, `class:tall` image alt
text) plus two python-pptx constraints (no CSS font fallback — single
`font.name`; blank layout has no bullets — must inject `<a:buChar>` XML).
Finding 3 confirmed the APIs exist but the parser is non-trivial. With P3
on the serial critical path (G-002), an overflow blocks everything.
**Binding revision G-003:** split P3 into P3a (inline_images + render_slides.sh
+ pyproject — low-risk mechanical) and P3b (render_pptx.py + parser + the
attach_release_asset.py extension — high-risk).
**Verdict:** FEASIBLE.
#### Axis 6 — Benefit callout `<div>` in Marp: PASS (conf 0.95)
Empirically verified by rendering a minimal test deck through
`@marp-team/marp-cli@4.5.0` (the pinned version): `<div class="benefit">text</div>`
passes through verbatim into the rendered `<section>`. Marpit's `html: true`
option is on by default; no sanitization of styling divs. The `.benefit` class
in the inline `style:` block will apply. P2's restyle approach is valid.
**P0 risk cleared.**
## Axis 2: Scope
#### Axis 7 — "penetrate" removal completeness: REVISE → G-001 (conf 0.85)
CRITICAL gap. The plan's verify step `grep -ri penetrat docs/presentations/`
misses `docs/scope.md` (line 16: "Nova never penetrates the PDLC") and
`docs/vision.md` (line 18: "It does not penetrate upstream product or
software development lifecycles") — the repo's two core strategic docs. The
term also appears in every `.ciagent/` file (PLAN, REQUIREMENTS, RESEARCH,
CLARIFY, ROADMAP, PROJECT, PERSONAS, NORTH_STAR). The deck does not link out
to these docs, but they are audience-reachable via the repo.
**Binding revision G-001:** purge "penetrate" (and derivatives) from the
entire repo — `docs/` AND `.ciagent/`. P4's verify step becomes
`grep -ri penetrat docs/ .ciagent/` returns nothing. `test_no_penetrate_term`
asserts the same. The deleted plain `.md` (P1) already removes its
occurrence; `docs/scope.md` + `docs/vision.md` reworded in P4; all
`.ciagent/` files reworded across the relevant phases (the phase that owns
each file's edit window).
**Challenge:** Is 4 phases (P1-P3 + P4) the right size, or is this
over-scoped?
#### Axis 8 — Wave 3 parallelization feasibility: REVISE → G-002 (conf 0.85)
Resolved by G-002 (serialize P3→P4). Wave 3 is no longer parallel. P3's
`render_slides.sh` is stable before P4 runs its verify render; P3's parser
is tested against the current (untrimmed) deck before P4 trims it.
**Response:** 15 requirements across 3 execution phases is
well-scoped. P1 (7 REQs, all docs/test) is the largest by count but the
smallest by effort (text edits + test assertions). P2 (6 REQs, feat) is
the core implementation. P3 (2 REQs, test) is coverage. P4 is final
review. This is a tight, coherent milestone. **Confidence: 0.88.**
#### Axis 9 — Phase count vs. value: REVISE → G-004 (conf 0.80)
G-003 split P3 (→8 phases); G-004 merges P5+P6 to compensate. P6
(final-review-ship) for an NFR docs-only milestone is largely ceremonial —
the review/audit/ship work folds into P5's final commits. **Binding revision
G-004:** merge P5+P6. Net phase count returns to 7.
**Challenge:** Should the cross-account destroy be in scope?
#### Axis 10 — Versioning: PASS (conf 0.95)
`git tag --list 'v1.22.*'` returns nothing — no conflicts. The v1.21.x line
(v1.21.0..v1.21.6) is the precedent; v1.23 tags v1.22.0..v1.22.6 per the
revised phase plan (G-003 split shifts tag numbers; G-004 merge keeps the
final at v1.22.6).
**Response:** No. The scaffold is single-account. Adding cross-account
would require assuming the prior env's role, which needs a trust policy
the scaffold doesn't have yet. Deferring is pragmatic. The Out of Scope
section documents this. **Confidence: 0.85.**
**Verdict:** PROPERLY-SCOPED.
## Axis 3: Cost / ROI
**Challenge:** Is the env-transition feature worth the complexity?
**Response:** Yes. The user identified a real orphaned-resources risk
that violates the platform's full-lifecycle-management mission. The
fix is a ~80-line Python module + a shell block. The alternative
(blocking env edits, forcing Shape B) contradicts the user's directive.
The ROI is high: closes a real lifecycle gap with minimal code.
**Confidence: 0.90.**
**Verdict:** JUSTIFIED.
## Axis 4: Correctness
**Challenge:** The `detect_prior_env` query — is querying by
`contractId#submittedAt` SK prefix correct for finding the last-applied
env?
**Response:** The `nova-contracts` table has PK `consumerRepo` and SK
`contractId#submittedAt`. To find the last record for a given
contractId, we query by PK `consumerRepo` + SK `begins_with
"contractId#"` + FilterExpression `status = "submitted"` (or
`#LAST_APPLIED`), sort by `submittedAt` desc, take the first. This is
correct DynamoDB pattern. The `record_applied_env` step writes a new
item with SK `contractId#LAST_APPLIED#<timestamp>` so the detect step
can filter by `begins_with "contractId#LAST_APPLIED#"`. **Confidence:
0.85.**
**Challenge:** What if the DynamoDB table doesn't exist in local/CI
mode?
**Response:** The detect step catches `ClientError` / `EndpointNotFound`,
logs a warning, and returns `None` (no prior env). The pipeline proceeds
normally. This is the conservative path — no false-positive destroys.
**Confidence: 0.90.**
**Verdict:** CORRECT.
## Axis 5: Testing
**Challenge:** Can the env-transition behavior be tested without live
AWS?
**Response:** Yes. `test_env_transition.py` uses moto for DynamoDB
(mock_aws pattern from `test_contract_ingestor.py:74-110`).
`test_run_platform_env_transition.py` uses shell-text assertions
(pattern from `test_pipeline.py:79-95`). No live AWS needed.
**Confidence: 0.92.**
**Verdict:** TESTABLE.
## Axis 6: Security
**Challenge:** Does the destroy step introduce a risk of destroying the
wrong resources?
**Response:** The destroy targets the prior env's state key
(`spike/{id}/{prior_env}/terraform.tfstate`). The state key is
deterministic and env-scoped. The destroy can only affect resources in
that state file. The `deletion_protection=false` injection is scoped to
the destroy step only — the new env's apply runs with the default
`deletion_protection=true`. **Confidence: 0.88.**
**Challenge:** Could a malicious consumer trigger a destroy of another
consumer's resources?
**Response:** No. The DynamoDB query is scoped by PK `consumerRepo`
(the consumer's own repo identity). The destroy runs under the
consumer's ABAC-scoped deploy role, which can only touch resources
tagged `nova:owner=<consumer-repo>`. A consumer cannot query or destroy
another consumer's stack. **Confidence: 0.90.**
**Verdict:** SECURE.
## Axis 7: Maintainability
**Challenge:** Is the `core/env_transition.py` module a clean
abstraction or a one-off?
**Response:** It's a reusable module with two functions
(`detect_prior_env`, `record_applied_env`) that encapsulate the
DynamoDB query logic. It can be extended for cross-account destroy in a
future milestone. The shell Step 0b is a thin orchestrator. This is
maintainable. **Confidence: 0.85.**
**Verdict:** MAINTAINABLE.
## Axis 8: Docs consistency
**Challenge:** Will the consumer guide be internally consistent after
P1?
**Response:** The 5 fixes address all known inconsistencies: field
table ↔ schema, Step 2 ↔ Step 4, Step 5 ↔ environments doc, Step 8 ↔
per-env section, reference table ↔ sample contracts. The test updates
assert both shapes are documented. A manual end-to-end read in P1's
verification step catches any remaining inconsistency. **Confidence:
0.88.**
**Verdict:** CONSISTENT.
## Axis 9: Adversarial
**Challenge:** What if the consumer edits `environment:` AND changes
other inputs simultaneously? Does the destroy-then-apply still work?
**Response:** Yes. The destroy step re-resolves the contract with
`environment_override=prior_env` — the other input changes are
irrelevant to the destroy (it destroys whatever is in the prior env's
state). The new apply resolves with the new env + new inputs. The two
operations are independent. **Confidence: 0.85.**
**Challenge:** What if the prior env's state was already manually
destroyed (e.g., via decommission)?
**Response:** `terraform destroy` against an empty state is a no-op
(exits 0). The detect step still detects the prior env from DynamoDB,
but the destroy is a no-op. The apply proceeds. This is correct
behavior — no false failure. **Confidence: 0.88.**
**Verdict:** ROBUST.

### Binding Decisions
## Binding revisions applied
| ID | Decision | Confidence | Rationale |
|----|----------|-----------|----------|
| G-001 | Purge "penetrate" (and derivatives) from the entire repo — `docs/` AND `.ciagent/`, not just `docs/presentations/`. P4 verify: `grep -ri penetrat docs/ .ciagent/` returns nothing. `test_no_penetrate_term` asserts the same. `docs/scope.md:16` + `docs/vision.md:18` reworded in P4; all `.ciagent/` files reworded in the phase that owns each file's edit window. | 0.85 | The term appears in the repo's two core strategic docs (audience-reachable) and all internal metadata. REQ-272 says "removed from all presentation files"; the user confirmed a full-repo purge (politically loaded term). The plan's `docs/presentations/`-only grep is a gap. |
| G-002 | Serialize P3→P4. Wave 3 is no longer parallel. P3 completes (stable `render_slides.sh` + tested parser against the current deck) before P4 trims the deck + purges "penetrate" (per G-001). C8's parallelization rationale is overruled. | 0.85 | "Zero file overlap" is true for edits but false for verification: P3's parser depends on the deck structure P4 is trimming; P4's verify render depends on P3's `render_slides.sh` being stable. The interaction risk is the failure mode. |
| G-003 | Split P3 into P3a (inline_images.py + render_slides.sh inline-images step + pyproject.toml — low-risk mechanical) and P3b (render_pptx.py + the full markdown parser + render_slides.sh python-pptx step + attach_release_asset.py extension — high-risk). Both serial in Wave 3. | 0.80 | The parser handles 10+ markdown constructs + python-pptx XML constraints (font fallback, bullet injection); on the serial critical path (G-002) an overflow blocks everything. Splitting isolates the high-risk work. |
| G-004 | Merge P5+P6. P5 absorbs the final-review/audit/ship work (multi-persona review, reconstruction audit, milestone merge, tag, release, branch cleanup, REQUIREMENTS/ROADMAP update) as its final commits. Tag v1.22.6 = milestone release. | 0.80 | For an NFR docs-only milestone, a dedicated review/ship phase is ceremonial overhead. P5 already asserts the final state via tests. The merge compensates for the G-003 split, returning to 7 phases. |
1. **R1 (docs):** Add to RESEARCH.md pitfalls: the destroy step must
inject `deletion_protection=false` into the contract inputs before
re-resolving with `environment_override=prior_env`. Without this,
`prevent_destroy` lifecycle blocks (REQ-86) block the destroy. This
is already noted in RESEARCH §5 pitfall 3 and PLAN P2 implementation
note 3. No change needed — already captured.
### Escalations
2. **R2 (docs):** Clarify in PLAN P2 that the `record_applied_env` SK
format is `contractId#LAST_APPLIED#<timestamp>` so the detect step
can query `begins_with "contractId#LAST_APPLIED#"`. This is already
in RESEARCH §2 and GRILL Axis 4. No change needed — already captured.
None. All axes resolved at confidence ≥ 0.78. Two axes (4 and 6) were
escalation candidates (P0 risks if the empirical checks failed) but both
were cleared by direct verification — the rendered HTML uses plain `<img
src="assets/...">` (not SVG xlink:href), and Marp 4.5.0 passes through
`<div class="benefit">` verbatim (empirically confirmed with a minimal test
deck).
## Escalations
---
### Revised Wave/Phase Plan (post-revisions)
```
Wave 1 (P1): consolidate-docs (edits -marp.md, deletes plain .md)
Wave 2 (P2): restore-clean-style (edits -marp.md frontmatter +
↓ benefit callouts; edits render_slides.sh; retires
nova-sp-theme.css from render)
Wave 3 (P3a → P3b, serial):
P3a: inline-images (inline_images.py + render_slides.sh step + pyproject)
P3b: python-pptx-generator (render_pptx.py + parser + render_slides.sh
step + attach_release_asset.py extension)
Wave 4 (P4): trim-wordcount + purge "penetrate" (edits -marp.md +
↓ talking-points.md + docs/scope.md + docs/vision.md +
all .ciagent/ files per G-001)
Wave 5 (P5+P6 merged): ci-tests-readme + final-review-ship (tests, CI,
README, multi-persona review, audit, ship —
tag v1.22.6 = milestone release)
```
### Revised Tag Plan
- v1.22.0 (P0 — already tagged)
- v1.22.1 (P1)
- v1.22.2 (P2)
- v1.22.3 (P3a)
- v1.22.4 (P3b)
- v1.22.5 (P4)
- v1.22.6 (P5+P6 merged — final patch = milestone release)
### P4 expanded scope (per G-001)
P4 now owns, in addition to the deck word-count trim:
- `docs/scope.md:16` — reword "Nova never penetrates the PDLC"
- `docs/vision.md:18` — reword "It does not penetrate upstream product or
software development lifecycles"
- `.ciagent/PLAN.md`, `REQUIREMENTS.md`, `RESEARCH.md`, `CLARIFY.md`,
`ROADMAP.md`, `PROJECT.md`, `PERSONAS.md`, `NORTH_STAR.md` — reword every
"penetrate" occurrence (or the phase that owns each file's edit window
does so; P4 is the natural owner since it owns the "penetrate" removal
requirement REQ-272).
### P5 expanded scope (per G-004)
P5 now owns, in addition to the test/CI/README work:
- Multi-persona code review (`ciagent-review`) of the milestone branch
- Audit (`ciagent-audit`) — reconstruction test + .ciagent discipline
- Milestone ship (`ciagent-ship`) — merge to milestone branch → main, tag
v1.22.6, release with both PPTX attached, delete milestone branches
- Update REQUIREMENTS.md (mark v1.23 complete) + ROADMAP.md (mark v1.23
complete)
- Commit: `docs(milestone): complete v1.23 — Nova Deck Cleanup & Python PPTX`

grep — 2× `<img src="assets/png/...">`, 0× `xlink:href`
- Marp `<div>` passthrough: minimal test deck rendered through
`@marp-team/marp-cli@4.5.0``<div class="benefit">` survives verbatim
- Versioning: `git tag --list 'v1.22.*'` → empty (no conflicts)
- "penetrate" occurrences: `grep -riI penetrat` → docs/scope.md:16,
docs/vision.md:18, docs/presentations/{-marp.md, .html, .md,
-talking-points.md}, all .ciagent/*.md
- Test inversion targets: tests/test_slides_pipeline.py lines 55-64
(rewrite), 66-74 (invert), 240-270 (delete), 275-302 (retarget), 353-359
(assert #D6002A not --sp-red)
- Benefit callout count: 21 `**Benefit:**` in current deck → 21
`<div class="benefit">` in P2
None. All challenges resolved at full autonomy.
