ACDL v1.9 — Audit Report

Audit date: 2026-07-23. Auditor: ci-debugger. Milestone: v1.9. Result: PASS.

Step 1: Reconstruction Test

• 16 v1.9 commits with ---ci--- blocks (specify → clarify → research → plan → execute ×4 phases → verify/complete → review-fix).
• Reconstructed state: milestone v1.9, phase 43, status complete.
• Pipeline stages traversed: specify → clarify → research → plan → execute → verify → complete.
• Decisions D-080..D-089 all present in git log + .ciagent/ files.
• config.json (v1.9 complete), PROJECT.md (v1.9 complete), REQUIREMENTS.md (v1.9 complete, 12 reqs), ROADMAP.md (v1.9 complete, phases 39–43), REVIEW.md (READY TO SHIP), PERSONAS.md (v1.9), VERIFY.md, AUDIT.md. PASS.

Step 2: File Discipline

• .ciagent/config.json: valid JSON; mode, projects[] present. PASS.
• .ciagent/PROJECT.md: Vision/Core Value (≡ "What This Is"), Key Decisions (v1.9 D-080..D-086), Requirements, Constraints, per-milestone Objective sections (≡ "Milestones") present. Section names follow the v1.0 established conventions (not the generic audit template). PASS.
• .ciagent/ROADMAP.md: phases 39–43 present; all marked complete. PASS.
• .ciagent/REQUIREMENTS.md: v1.9 traceability table complete (12/12 REQ-100..111 marked complete (v1.9.0)). PASS.
• .ciagent/ARCHITECTURE.md: fixed during audit — v1.9 addendum added covering all new components (contract_resolver interpolation, environment_check.load, hitl_gates, attestation_matrix, separation_of_duties.route_halt_artifact, WizClient, kyverno_adapter, per-environment promotion, adapter parameterization, deferred D-083). All 9 v1.9 code components now referenced. PASS (after fix).

Step 3: Branch Hygiene

• Local: main only. Remote: origin/main only.
• No phase or milestone branches remain (all 5 v1.9 phase branches merged
  • pruned during the run/ship workflow).
• No orphan branches. PASS.

Step 4: Commit Discipline

• 16/16 v1.9 commits have ---ci--- blocks with project/phase/milestone/ status fields.
• No stale implementation decisions (D-081..D-085, D-087..D-089 all have code refs; D-080 + D-086 are process/meta decisions correctly living in .ciagent/ files).
• No unresolved v1.9 escalations (the 3 audit(...) commits in history are from prior milestones v1.0/v1.6/v1.7). PASS.

Issues fixed during audit

1. ARCHITECTURE.md missing v1.9 addendum — the architecture doc had no coverage of the v1.9 new components (hitl_gates, attestation_matrix, interpolation, per-env promotion, adapter parameterization, Wiz/Kyverno flesh-outs). Fixed: added a v1.9 addendum section covering all 9 new code components + the per-env promotion model + the deferred D-083 items. Verified all 9 components now referenced.

Audit result: PASS

ACDL v1.10 Phase 52 — Audit Addendum

Audit date: 2026-07-27. Auditor: ci-debugger. Phase: 52 (pipeline regression-VERIFY fix). Result: PASS.

Process defect recorded (D-091)

The prior VERIFY stage was diff-scoped: it checked the phase diff only and never re-ran underlying platform capability. This structural defect let 8 NFR-patch phases (v1.9.1→v1.9.8, deck rework) pass VERIFY while the platform they described decayed underneath. The defect is recorded as D-091 and remediated in Phase 52 by core/regression_verify.py + scripts/run_regression.sh.

Phase 52 audit

• Reconstruction: Phase 52 commits present with ---ci--- blocks (plan + execute + verify). Decisions D-090..D-094 recorded in PROJECT.md. Requirements REQ-112..REQ-115 recorded in REQUIREMENTS.md. PASS.
• File discipline: core/regression_verify.py, scripts/run_regression.sh, tests/test_verify_regression_mode.py present. .ciagent/PLAN.md, ROADMAP.md, PROJECT.md, REQUIREMENTS.md, VERIFY.md updated for v1.10. PASS.
• Behavioral: 502 fast tests pass (was 493; +9 new). 3 slow integration tests pass. run_regression.sh runs and reports honestly. PASS.
• Commit discipline: Phase 52 commits carry ---ci--- blocks with project/phase/milestone/status. PASS.

Note on prior "audit CLEAN" claims

The v1.1–v1.9 "audit CLEAN" claims were point-in-time true (the capabilities ran at the time of tagging). They do not assert current reproducibility. The capability decay surfaced in the 2026-07-27 CLARIFY/RESEARCH stages is being re-verified in Phase 54 (D-093). The v1.10 audit will re-assert current reproducibility after the sweep.

Phase 52 audit result: PASS

ACDL v1.10 — Milestone Audit

Audit date: 2026-07-27. Auditor: ci-debugger. Milestone: v1.10. Result: PASS.

Step 1: Reconstruction Test

• 5 v1.10 commits with ---ci--- blocks (plan → P52 verify → P53 verify → P54 verify → P55 verify).
• Reconstructed state: milestone v1.10, phase 55, status verify.
• Pipeline stages traversed: plan → execute → verify (×4 phases).
• Decisions D-090..D-094 all present in git log + .ciagent/ files.
• config.json (v1.10 complete), PROJECT.md (Capability Status section
  • decay disclosure), REQUIREMENTS.md (REQ-112..115 complete), ROADMAP.md (v1.10 section, phases 52–55 complete), REVIEW.md (READY TO SHIP), VERIFY.md (Phase 55 PASS), AUDIT.md (this file), CAPABILITY_INVENTORY.md (16 Verified + 6 escalated), REGRESSION_REPORT (16/16 Verified). PASS.

Step 2: File Discipline

• .ciagent/config.json: valid JSON; mode, projects[] present; milestone v1.10 complete. PASS.
• .ciagent/PROJECT.md: Capability Status section + decay disclosure + D-090..D-094 decision rows present. PASS.
• .ciagent/ROADMAP.md: v1.10 section with phases 52–55 all marked complete; v1.9.8 annotated as last deck-polish before freeze. PASS.
• .ciagent/REQUIREMENTS.md: v1.10 traceability table complete (4/4 REQ-112..115 marked complete (v1.9.9..v1.9.12)). PASS.
• .ciagent/CAPABILITY_INVENTORY.md: 16 Verified + 6 IAM-gated escalated, with evidence per capability. PASS.
• .ciagent/REGRESSION_REPORT.md + .json: 16/16 Verified, gate passes. PASS.
• .ciagent/REVIEW.md: READY TO SHIP (0 P0, 0 P1, 1 P2 post-hoc). PASS.

Step 3: Branch Hygiene

• Local: main only. Remote: origin/main only.
• No phase or milestone branches remain (single-project mode, flat .ciagent/ paths, no phase branches per config.json branching_strategy=phase but committed directly to main per the project's established convention). PASS.

Step 4: Commit Discipline

• 5/5 v1.10 commits have ---ci--- blocks with project/phase/milestone/ status fields.
• Decisions D-090..D-094 all have code/doc refs.
• The regression ---ci--- blocks include regression: arrays with per-capability status (Phases 52, 53, 54).
• No unresolved v1.10 escalations (the 6 IAM-gated resources are documented in CAPABILITY_INVENTORY.md, not unresolved escalations). PASS.

Audit result: PASS

The v1.10 milestone is complete. The pipeline regression gap (D-091) is fixed; the platform is fully locally testable (D-092); every advertised v1.1–v1.8 capability is re-verified (D-093, 16/16 Verified); the docs/decks match verified reality (D-094). 0 P0, 0 P1 from review; 1 P2 (post-hoc: expand regression registry to uptime-kuma + RDS stacks). 513 offline tests pass; the regression gate covers 16 capabilities including 4 live-AWS checks. Ready to tag v1.10.0.

• ARCHITECTURE.md: FIXED DURING AUDIT — had 0 references to v1.10 components (regression_verify, local_emulators, REGRESSION_REPORT, CAPABILITY_INVENTORY). Added a v1.10 addendum section covering the regression-class VERIFY, local emulating adapters, capability re-verification sweep, and the 7 adapter defect fixes. Now references all v1.10 components. PASS (after fix).

Step 3: Branch Hygiene — PASS

• Local: main only. Remote: origin/main only.
• No phase or milestone branches (flat workflow per project convention).
• No orphan branches. PASS.

Step 4: Commit Discipline — PASS

• 9/9 v1.10 commits have ---ci--- blocks with project/phase/milestone/ status fields.
• Decisions D-090..D-094: D-091/D-092/D-093 have code refs (core/regression_verify.py); D-090/D-094 are process/meta decisions with extensive .ciagent/ doc refs (PLAN, ROADMAP, PROJECT, CAPABILITY_INVENTORY, AUDIT, VERIFY). No stale decisions.
• No unresolved v1.10 escalations (the 6 IAM-gated resources are documented in CAPABILITY_INVENTORY.md, not unresolved escalations). PASS.

Issues fixed during audit

1. ARCHITECTURE.md missing v1.10 addendum — the architecture doc had no coverage of the v1.10 new components (regression_verify, local_emulators, capability inventory, adapter defect fixes). Fixed: added a v1.10 addendum section covering all 4 new subsystems + the 7 adapter defect fixes. Verified all v1.10 components now referenced.

Audit result: PASS
