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
