Phase 3 Verification — v0.8 Coverage & Trust Hardening

Phase: P03 — Requirements-hygiene gate Milestone: v0.8 REQ: REQ-060 Date: 2026-08-04 Result: PASS (all 4 layers)

Layer 1 — Structural

  • go build ./... PASS
  • go vet ./... PASS
  • cmd/verify-reqs/main.go (~180 LOC, stdlib only) compiles + links
  • All exports resolve: verify(roadmapPath, reqsPath) (diff []string, count int, err error)
  • No new dependencies

Layer 2 — Behavioral

  • go test ./cmd/verify-reqs/... PASS (7 golden-file tests: clean, multi-drift, default-args, malformed, missing-file, v0.2-substring-tolerant, real-repo regression)
  • make verify-reqs → exit 0 on the current repo (✓ 60 requirements consistent with roadmap)
  • T03.5 synthetic drift verification: scratch flip of REQ-053 → make verify-reqs exit 1 + REQ-053: status=Pending, expected=Complete (direction=forward); revert → exit 0
  • go test ./... PASS (all 16 packages)
  • Forward + reverse assertions both exercised (golden test TestVerify_drift asserts direction=reverse for REQ-003)

Layer 3 — Security

  • verify-reqs is a static doc-consistency checker — no network, no secrets, no input injection (markdown is parsed with regexp over local files only)
  • .coreci.yml step runs in the existing golang:1.25 container (no new image, no new permissions)
  • No STRIDE surface added

Layer 4 — Quality

  • Testable core (verify() function) + thin main() — follows the cmd/orca/main.gorun() pattern from T01.11
  • Golden-file test fixtures cover the substring-tolerant regex regression (v0.2 header variant)
  • GRILL condition #4 satisfied: substring-tolerant regex + reverse-direction assertion + scope note (doc-vs-doc only)
  • P0 issues: none. P1+ issues: none flagged.

Requirement Coverage

REQ Status Evidence
REQ-060 Complete cmd/verify-reqs (T03.1) + golden tests (T03.2) + make verify-reqs (T03.3) + .coreci.yml validate hook (T03.4) + synthetic drift verification (T03.5)

GRILL Conditions Check

  • #4 (verify-reqs regex + reverse direction): substring-tolerant regex matches v0.2's **COMPLETE (merged to main via v0.3)** header (golden test TestVerify_v0_2_substring_tolerant); reverse-direction assertion implemented + tested; scope note documented in the commit + the verification report.

Lessons

  • The two-regex parser (one for REQ rows, one for milestone-complete headers) with substring tolerance is the right shape — a single strict regex would have silently exempted v0.2 (the exact drift the GRILL flagged).
  • Refactoring main() into a testable verify() function made golden-file testing trivial (no subprocess orchestration). This mirrors the T01.11 main()→run() pattern and should be the house style for all cmd/ programs.
