What Improved
- Adds a shared
task_typeextraction contract and includesTASK_TYPEin Big Bang Seed prompts. - Preserves explicit document task types in ledger synthesis and bounded Seed-QA repair.
- Preserves explicitly named parent Seed lineage during QA repair attempts.
- Moves extraction and QA-repair contracts into focused modules with targeted regression tests.
Issue Requirements
| Requirement | Status |
|---|---|
Preserve an explicitly requested Seed task_type across Big Bang extraction |
Partially met — the extraction prompt and override were added, but transcript-wide first-match parsing can override the user’s final answer or correction. |
Preserve an explicitly requested Seed task_type across ledger fallback synthesis |
Met for direct, unambiguous goal contracts; shared parsing remains vulnerable to the same first-match semantics where applicable. |
Preserve an explicitly requested Seed task_type across bounded Seed-QA repair |
Partially met — direct mismatch repair works, but task-type authority is derived from the same unsafe parser. |
| Keep explicit parent-Seed lineage during QA repair | Partially met — a single unambiguous ID is preserved, but multiple IDs or negated/reference mentions can rewrite lineage incorrectly. |
| Move contracts into focused modules and keep module-size budgets green | Met based on the targeted module-size test and affected test suites. |

Blockers
| # | File:Line | Severity | Finding |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | src/ouroboros/core/task_type.py:27 | BLOCKING | explicit_task_type_from_goal() treats interviewer questions and superseded statements as binding contracts, and returns the first match. Because seed_generator.py:1837 applies this result to the entire rendered Q/A transcript, a prompt such as Q: Should task_type be code or document? is parsed as code even when the user answers document; likewise, a later correction (task_type must be document) loses to an earlier task_type must be code. This can silently misclassify document/research Seeds and route them through the wrong execution strategy. Restrict extraction to authoritative answer/goal content or resolve the final explicit contract deterministically, with tests for question wording and later corrections. |
| 2 | src/ouroboros/auto/seed_qa_contract.py:85 | BLOCKING | inherited_parent_seed_id() selects the first seed_<id> token anywhere in the goal rather than the Seed ID explicitly identified as the parent. _seed_with_seed_qa_feedback() and _seed_with_seed_qa_lateral_feedback() then overwrite metadata.parent_seed_id with that token at src/ouroboros/auto/pipeline.py:4965 and src/ouroboros/auto/pipeline.py:4935. A goal containing an old/reference Seed before the actual inherited parent, or a negated reference such as Do not inherit seed_old; inherit seed_parent, produces incorrect lineage metadata. This corrupts provenance and can misrepresent the resume/evolution parent after QA repair. Parse an explicit inheritance clause or preserve the existing metadata parent unless the parent relationship is unambiguous, and add multi-ID/negation tests. |

- The PR body states the full 18k test suite was not rerun after the mechanical module split; no full-suite evidence was available in this snapshot.
Design Notes
The extraction-contract split is directionally sound and keeps task-type and QA-repair rules centralized. However, both new heuristics infer authoritative identity from unstructured goal/transcript text, which is unsafe at a persistence and execution-routing boundary.
Design / Roadmap Gate
The changed boundary feeds Seed.task_type into execution strategy selection and writes metadata.parent_seed_id into successor Seeds. These are durable, downstream-facing contracts, so question text, corrections, references, negation, and multiple Seed IDs must not be interpreted as authoritative by incidental regex order. The targeted tests pass, but they cover only positive single-contract examples and do not establish safety for the critical ambiguous-input paths.
Directional Notes
Review focus followed the PR’s runtime boundary: explicit user intent must survive extraction, repair, and persistence without being replaced by defaults or stale context. Advisory maintainer memory also emphasized truthful parent lineage and replay-safe durable state; the blockers above are independently reproduced from the current source and are not based on memory alone.

Addressed both blocking findings in 863837e. Task-type extraction now ignores interviewer questions/superseded clauses and uses the final authoritative contract; inheritance parsing now requires explicit semantics, ignores negated references, and supports the existing Korean contract. Added focused regressions for question-vs-answer wording, corrections, multi-ID/negation lineage, and non-inheritance references. Targeted tests, Ruff, and format checks pass. Requesting exact-head re-review. |

What Improved
- Adds an explicit
TASK_TYPEextraction field and preserves positive document contracts through Big Bang generation, complete/partial ledger synthesis, and bounded Seed-QA repair. - Moves task-type extraction and Seed-QA mapping into focused modules while keeping the repository module-size gate green.
- Adds focused coverage for corrections, interviewer question lines, basic negated lineage references, Korean contracts, and document task-type propagation.
Issue Requirements
| Requirement | Status |
|---|---|
Preserve an explicitly requested Seed task_type through Big Bang extraction |
Partially met — affirmative tested contracts work, but non-binding questions, examples, and negations can override structured extraction. |
Preserve explicit task_type through complete and partial ledger fallback synthesis |
Partially met — positive document contracts propagate, but both paths use the same false-positive-prone parser. |
Preserve explicit task_type through bounded Seed-QA repair |
Partially met — the reproducing positive contract is repaired, but negative/example goal text can trigger an incorrect repair. |
Prevent document goals from silently routing to code |
Partially met — the reported positive path is fixed, but incidental task_type text can still silently select an incorrect strategy in either direction. |
| Keep explicit parent-Seed lineage during QA repair | Partially met — positive English/Korean inheritance works, but ordinary adverb-qualified negation can persist a rejected parent ID. |
| Keep new contracts in focused modules and satisfy module-size budgets | Met. |
| Add no per-round calls, waits, retries, or EventStore writes | Met for the inspected diff. |
Prior Findings Status
The prior concerns are modified but not fully withdrawn. Current head addresses the specifically tested question/correction and simple negation forms, but fresh evidence shows the same authoritative-contract boundary still fails for trailing-question punctuation, quoted/example text, task-type negation, and adverb-qualified lineage negation.
Blockers
| # | File:Line | Severity | Finding |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | src/ouroboros/core/task_type.py:41 | BLOCKING | explicit_task_type_from_goal() still treats non-binding text as authoritative. Current-head probes return document for Should task_type: document?, code for Document the literal example \task_type: code` for users., and documentforDo not use task_type: document.The question check stops atmatch.end()and therefore misses a trailing?; stripping quotation markers makes examples indistinguishable from contracts; and the prefix filter does not reject negation. Because SeedGenerator.generate()unconditionally replaces the structured extraction result with this value atsrc/ouroboros/bigbang/seed_generator.py:1837`, and the same helper drives ledger fallback and QA repair, ordinary questions, examples, or negative requirements can silently select the wrong execution strategy. Require genuinely affirmative contract semantics and add end-to-end regressions proving these cases preserve the extracted/default task type. |
| 2 | src/ouroboros/auto/seed_qa_contract.py:102 | BLOCKING | The lineage negation guard only recognizes do not, don't, or never when immediately adjacent to inherit. Current-head probes return seed_bad for both Do not ever inherit seed_bad. and Never directly inherit seed_bad. During either QA repair path, pipeline.py:4935/pipeline.py:4965 then writes that explicitly rejected ID into durable metadata.parent_seed_id. The new test covers only the adjacent Do not inherit form, so lineage remains corruptible by normal adverb-qualified negation. Parse the inheritance clause semantically—or at minimum reject negation across the full local clause—and add repair-level tests demonstrating that negated IDs are never persisted. |

- Direct current-head probes reproduced both blockers using the production parser functions.
- The PR body reports Ruff, formatting, mypy, package smoke tests, and a resumed document session; the full 18k-test suite was not rerun after the final module split.
Design Notes
Extracting shared task-type and QA contracts into focused modules is directionally sound. However, these helpers now act as authoritative parsers at multiple durable boundaries, so regex matches must fail closed unless text is unambiguously affirmative.
Design / Roadmap Gate
Seed.task_type directly selects the orchestrator execution strategy, while metadata.parent_seed_id is serialized lineage consumed by later execution and projection paths. The positive reproduction is covered, but caller-controlled natural language can still overwrite both contracts through false-positive parsing. These critical input and repair paths therefore do not yet have sufficient compatibility or replay-safety evidence.
Directional Notes
Review focus followed end-to-end contract continuity and truthful durable lineage. Maintainer memory was used only to prioritize these boundaries; both blockers are independently demonstrated by current-source probes and downstream assignments.

Prior Findings Status
The exact prior examples for question text, literal/example mentions, do not ever, and never directly were addressed and their corresponding regressions are present. However, the same two durable contract boundaries still have unhandled negation variants: task-type extraction remains vulnerable to cannot/without, and parent-lineage extraction remains vulnerable to modal negation plus clause-wide suppression of a later positive reference. These are fresh current-head findings, not carried over solely from prior review text.
Blockers
| # | File:Line | Severity | Finding |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | src/ouroboros/core/task_type.py:66 | BLOCKING | explicit_task_type_from_goal() still treats negated or exclusionary wording as an authoritative task-type contract. The negation filter only recognizes ignore, discard, superseded, obsolete, example, literal, do not, don't, never, and avoid; it misses forms such as We cannot use task_type: document. and Without using task_type: document, ..., both of which currently return document. This value is then trusted by Big Bang generation at src/ouroboros/bigbang/seed_generator.py:1837 and can overwrite the extracted type, changing the execution strategy for a caller whose wording explicitly rejects that type. Add fail-closed handling and regressions for cannot, can't, without, not allowed, and equivalent correction/scoping forms. |
| 2 | src/ouroboros/auto/seed_qa_contract.py:105 | BLOCKING | inherited_parent_seed_id() still misinterprets negated lineage references. Its filter recognizes only do not, don't, and never, so The Seed must not inherit seed_bad. and Cannot inherit seed_bad. currently return seed_bad; QA repair then persists that rejected ID through src/ouroboros/auto/pipeline.py:4932-4935. The matching also scopes negation to the entire clause prefix: Do not inherit seed_bad, instead inherit seed_good. suppresses the valid seed_good match and falls back to the generated repair Seed. Because metadata.parent_seed_id is durable lineage, parse negation per reference/clause and add regressions for modal negation, without, and negated-reference-plus-positive-correction forms. |

Test Coverage Notes
- Reviewed the changed tests, surrounding Seed/execution contracts, and the prior review context.
- The affected test plan passed locally:
761 passedacross Seed, task-type, Big Bang, auto-pipeline, ledger, brownfield, QA-contract, and module-size tests. - Ruff and format checks passed for all changed files.
- Additional direct probes reproduced the two remaining negation failures described above; those cases are not covered by the current regressions.
- The PR body states the full 18k suite was not rerun after the mechanical module split.
Design Notes
The modular split and shared task-type contract are directionally sound, and the boundary remains understandable. However, both helpers feed durable execution and lineage state, so natural-language parsing must fail closed for negation and scope before merge.
Design / Roadmap Gate
Seed.task_type directly selects the orchestrator strategy, while metadata.parent_seed_id is serialized lineage consumed by later execution and projection paths. The positive-path tests establish the intended behavior, but they do not establish fail-closed behavior for caller-controlled natural-language negation. Until the parser distinguishes rejected references from binding contracts and scopes negation to the specific candidate rather than an entire clause, both execution routing and repair lineage remain vulnerable to silent contract drift.
Directional Notes
Review focus followed the PR’s contract-continuity claim: user intent must remain authoritative through extraction, fallback synthesis, QA repair, and durable persistence. Advisory maintainer memory reinforced inspecting replay-safe state and truthful lineage, but the blockers above are independently reproduced from the current source and direct runtime probes.

| Move the new contracts into focused modules and keep module-size budgets green | Met |
| Linked issue requirement | N/A — the PR states there is no related issue |
Prior Findings Status
Prior concerns are maintained in modified form. The exact punctuation-separated and standalone-negation cases discussed by the contributor are addressed, but fresh current-snapshot evidence shows the same candidate-scoping failure remains when positive and negative semantics share one comma-or-sentence segment. Both blockers are independently reproduced here rather than inferred from prior reviews.
Blockers
| # | File:Line | Severity | Finding |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | src/ouroboros/core/task_type.py:75 | BLOCKING | _NON_BINDING_CONTRACT_PATTERN is applied to the entire punctuation-bounded segment, so an unrelated negation or a conjunction-based correction suppresses an otherwise explicit positive task type. Current-source probes return None for both Use task_type: document and do not modify source code. and Do not use task_type: code and instead use task_type: document. Consequently Big Bang does not override an extracted code value, ledger synthesis defaults to code, and Seed-QA repair raises SeedQaRepairMappingError for the task-type mismatch—reproducing the seed_qa_feedback_unmapped failure this PR intends to fix. Scope non-binding language to each candidate and add end-to-end regressions without punctuation separating the negative and positive clauses. |
| 2 | src/ouroboros/auto/seed_qa_contract.py:112 | BLOCKING | Parent inheritance has the same segment-wide negation bug. Inherit seed_good and do not copy its obsolete constraints. and Do not inherit seed_bad and instead inherit seed_good. both return no inherited parent. A production repair probe therefore persisted seed_current as parent_seed_id instead of the explicitly requested seed_good. Because this metadata is durable lineage consumed by later execution and projection paths, negation must be associated with the affected inheritance candidate rather than rejecting every candidate in the segment; add repair-level conjunction and unrelated-negation regressions. |

Test Coverage Notes
- Ran the changed-contract suites, including
test_task_type.py,test_seed_qa_contract.py, pipeline lateral, ledger, and SeedGenerator tests: 470 passed. - Ran the PR-body affected suite plus the real-repository module-size gate: 756 passed.
- Ran Ruff across every changed Python file: clean.
- Added focused runtime probes independently demonstrate the two failures above despite the authored tests passing.
- The full 18k suite was not rerun after the mechanical module split, consistent with the PR body’s stated limitation.
Design Notes
The focused-module extraction is directionally sound, but both modules still interpret caller-controlled natural language using segment-wide exclusion rules. That makes durable execution and lineage contracts depend on incidental punctuation rather than candidate-local semantics.
Design / Roadmap Gate
Seed.task_type selects the execution strategy and is included in executable Seed semantics, while metadata.parent_seed_id is serialized and propagated through lineage events and projections. Positive contracts must therefore survive realistic corrections and adjacent negative constraints without silently reverting to code, blocking repair, or recording the generated Seed as the wrong parent. The current punctuation-sensitive behavior does not satisfy that boundary.
Directional Notes
Review focus followed end-to-end contract preservation and replay-safe durable lineage. Maintainer memory was used only to prioritize those boundaries; both findings are proven by current source, affected call paths, and focused runtime probes.

What Improved

Issue Requirements

Preserve explicitly requested Seed task_type across Big Bang extraction |
Partially met — straightforward and covered correction forms work, but explicit positive contracts with adjacent negative constraints are discarded. |
Preserve explicitly requested Seed task_type during complete and partial ledger fallback synthesis |
Partially met — both paths use the new parser, but affected clauses silently default to code. |

| Preserve explicit parent-Seed lineage during QA repair | Partially met — covered positive and negated forms work, but positive inheritance followed by an unrelated negative constraint is not persisted. |

Prior Findings Status
Prior task-type and lineage concerns are maintained in narrowed form. The current revision fixes the previously tested punctuation, explicit correction, and and-conjunction cases, but fresh current-source probes show that equivalent without, although, and causal clauses still lose positive contracts. No prior claim is relied upon without current-head reproduction.
Blockers
| # | File:Line | Severity | Finding |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | src/ouroboros/core/task_type.py:79 | BLOCKING | The segment-wide non-binding check still discards an explicit positive task type whenever an unrelated negative constraint occurs later in the same clause. For example, task_type must be document without changing repository files, Use task_type: document although we must not produce code, and Use task_type: document because source code must not change all return None. Complete and partial ledger synthesis consequently default these contracts to code, while Big Bang cannot override an extracted code result. A direct QA-repair probe with the first goal also raised SeedQaRepairMappingError rather than repairing the type, recreating the advertised seed_qa_feedback_unmapped failure. Negation must be scoped to the task-type predicate rather than rejecting the entire conjunction/causal segment, with end-to-end regressions for extraction, both ledger paths, and QA repair. |
| 2 | src/ouroboros/auto/seed_qa_contract.py:104 | BLOCKING | Parent-lineage extraction applies the same whole-segment negation rule and loses clear positive lineage when a separate negative constraint follows it. Inherit seed_good without copying obsolete constraints and Derive from seed_good although we must not reuse its runtime settings both return no inherited parent. _seed_with_seed_qa_feedback then persists the generated Seed’s current ID as parent_seed_id instead of seed_good, producing incorrect durable lineage. Scope negation to the inheritance predicate and add repair-level regressions proving the intended parent reaches metadata for these forms. |

Test Coverage Notes
- Reviewed the changed tests and affected call paths.
- Ran 737 affected tests across task-type parsing, Seed QA contracts and repair, Big Bang generation, ledger synthesis, interview pipeline, core Seed behavior, and module-size enforcement; all passed.
- Ran Ruff against every changed Python file; all checks passed.
- Additional direct runtime probes exposed the two clause-scoping failures above, which the current punctuation/
and-focused regressions do not cover. - The PR reports that the full suite was not rerun after the final mechanical module split.
Design Notes
Centralizing task-type and QA contract parsing is directionally sound, but lexical segment-wide negation is not precise enough for durable execution and lineage contracts.
Design / Roadmap Gate
Seed.task_type directly selects the runtime execution strategy, while metadata.parent_seed_id is serialized lineage propagated through later runtime and projection paths. Positive contracts must survive adjacent, unrelated negative constraints regardless of whether punctuation or the specific conjunction and separates them. The current segment-level rejection can silently substitute code, strand QA repair, or persist the wrong lineage parent, so the affected boundary is not yet safe.
Directional Notes
Review focus followed end-to-end contract continuity and truthful durable lineage. Maintainer memory was used only to prioritize conjunction and negation scoping; both blockers are independently demonstrated by current source, affected call sites, and direct runtime probes.

What Improved
- Preserves explicit document task types across the primary extraction, complete-ledger, partial-ledger, and bounded QA-repair paths.
- Moves task-type and Seed-QA contract logic into focused modules while keeping module-size checks green.
- Improves handling of questions, corrections, common English negation, conjunctions, and Korean inheritance syntax.
Issue Requirements
| Requirement | Status |
|---|---|
Preserve explicitly requested Seed task_type during Big Bang extraction |
Partially met — positive covered cases work, but non-binding historical mentions can override extraction and leading causal constraints can hide valid contracts. |
Preserve explicit task_type during complete and partial ledger fallback synthesis |
Partially met — covered document goals work, but causal ordering defaults valid document goals to code, while rejected historical mentions can incorrectly select document. |
Preserve explicit task_type during bounded Seed-QA repair and avoid seed_qa_feedback_unmapped |
Partially met — covered repairs succeed, but a positive contract following a causal negative constraint remains unmapped. |
| Preserve explicit parent-Seed lineage during QA repair | Partially met — covered positive and negated cases work, but quoted/example and rejected historical references can be persisted as durable parents, while some causal positive contracts are lost. |
| Keep grandfathered module-size budgets green through focused modules | Met. |
| Avoid new round calls, waits, retries, or EventStore writes | Met — the changed boundary remains deterministic parsing and Seed mutation. |
Prior Findings Status
Prior concerns are modified but maintained. Current HEAD fixes the previously demonstrated punctuation and selected conjunction cases, but independent current-source probes show the same contract-scoping class remains for leading causal clauses and non-binding historical/quoted text. The blockers above are based on the present snapshot and actual synthesis/repair results, not prior review claims.
Blockers
| # | File:Line | Severity | Finding |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | src/ouroboros/core/task_type.py:59 | BLOCKING | _candidate_segment deliberately ignores every leading because/while boundary, so an unrelated negative constraint before a positive contract still invalidates that contract. For example, Do not modify source code because task_type must be document. returns None; a code Seed then remains uncorrected, and QA feedback mentioning exit_conditions raises SeedQaRepairMappingError, recreating the blocked recovery mode this PR targets. The same shared segmentation also loses lineage in Do not copy obsolete constraints because this Seed should inherit seed_good.. Clause direction must be distinguished rather than always retaining these leading conjunctions, with regressions through ledger synthesis and durable QA repair. |
| 2 | src/ouroboros/core/task_type.py:38 | BLOCKING | The “binding contract” detector still treats historical or rejected prose as authoritative unless it contains one of the narrow listed keywords. We discussed task_type: document in the rejected proposal. Build a CLI. is parsed as document; complete ledger synthesis consequently persists task_type=document at src/ouroboros/auto/ledger_seed.py:143, and the Big Bang override at src/ouroboros/bigbang/seed_generator.py:1837 can likewise replace the structured extraction result. This silently misroutes execution from non-binding caller text. Add fail-closed handling and end-to-end tests for rejected, prior, quoted, and merely discussed contracts. |
| 3 | src/ouroboros/auto/seed_qa_contract.py:104 | BLOCKING | Parent-lineage parsing only filters negation and therefore accepts quoted examples and historical references as inheritance contracts. Both The phrase "inherit seed_bad" is an example, not a requirement. and We discussed inherit seed_bad in the rejected proposal. return seed_bad; _seed_with_seed_qa_feedback then durably writes that value as metadata.parent_seed_id at src/ouroboros/auto/pipeline.py:2963. This corrupts serialized lineage despite the goal explicitly describing a non-contract. Parent parsing needs the same non-binding/reference protections promised for task type, plus repair-level persistence tests. |

Test Coverage Notes
- Ran the five directly affected suites: 444 tests passed.
- Ran
test_real_repository_is_greenand the auto interview pipeline suite: 185 tests passed. - Ruff passed on every changed Python file.
- Direct current-snapshot runtime probes reproduced incorrect complete-ledger task routing, unmapped causal-clause QA repair, and durable false parent lineage.
- The PR body reports that the full 18k suite was not rerun after the final module split; targeted mechanical coverage is green, but end-to-end full-suite evidence remains absent.
Design Notes
Extracting shared contract logic into focused modules is directionally sound, but regex-based natural-language authority detection remains insufficiently scoped for fields that directly control execution strategy and durable lineage.
Design / Roadmap Gate
Seed.task_type selects downstream execution behavior, while metadata.parent_seed_id is serialized into lineage events and projections. These are durable runtime contracts, so parsing must fail closed for non-binding prose and preserve positive contracts regardless of adjacent constraint ordering. Current HEAD can still default or overwrite task routing, strand bounded QA repair, and persist an unrelated Seed as the parent. The boundary is therefore not yet replay-safe or compatible with realistic caller-controlled language.
Directional Notes
Review focus followed end-to-end contract stabilization: explicit task type and parent lineage must retain one authoritative meaning across extraction, fallback, repair, persistence, resume, and execution. Maintainer memory only guided adversarial clause and negation probes; every blocker was independently reproduced against the current snapshot.

Issue Requirements
| Requirement | Status |
|---|---|
Preserve explicitly requested Seed task_type across Big Bang extraction |
Partially met — covered happy paths work, but ordinary contractions/domain wording lose valid contracts and separated historical prose can create false contracts. |
Preserve explicitly requested Seed task_type through complete and partial ledger fallback synthesis |
Partially met — both paths use the shared parser, so the reproduced false positives and false negatives propagate into synthesized Seeds. |
Preserve explicitly requested Seed task_type during bounded Seed-QA repair |
Partially met — repair handles recognized contracts but cannot repair contracts rejected by the parser and can apply false historical contracts. |
Prevent document goals from silently defaulting to code |
Not met — "We'll use task_type: document..." and "Use task_type: document for the historical archive." still return no explicit type and default ledger Seeds to code. |
| Preserve explicit parent-Seed lineage during QA repair | Partially met — tested contracts work, but ordinary possessives lose valid lineage and separated historical prose can persist a rejected Seed ID. |
| Keep grandfathered module-size budgets green | Met. |
| Maintain affected lint and test coverage | Met for the executed affected suites, but adversarial semantic-scope coverage remains incomplete. |
Prior Findings Status
Prior concerns are maintained with updated current-head evidence. The latest changes fix several previously targeted conjunction, causal, negation, quotation, and historical examples, but the same durable-contract standard still fails when clause segmentation removes historical governors or the broad non-binding guard rejects ordinary positive prose.
Blockers
| # | File:Line | Severity | Finding |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | src/ouroboros/core/task_type.py:62 | BLOCKING | _candidate_segment() discards all governing context before punctuation or conjunctions such as but, while, and because. Consequently, current-head probes classify "The previous proposal was rejected, but its task_type: document should be recorded for audit." as a binding document contract and "The previous proposal was rejected, but it said inherit seed_bad for reference." as binding lineage to seed_bad. These false positives propagate through Big Bang override, ledger synthesis, and QA repair, silently changing execution routing or durable parent_seed_id from explicitly historical/non-binding prose. Preserve the semantic governor across clause boundaries and add end-to-end regressions for historical/rejected clauses separated from the candidate by punctuation or conjunctions. |
| 2 | src/ouroboros/core/task_type.py:38 | BLOCKING | The non-binding guard rejects a candidate when its entire segment contains any quote character or generic word such as historical, rather than determining whether the candidate itself is quoted or historical. Current-head probes return no task contract for "We'll use task_type: document for the final plan." and "Use task_type: document for the historical archive.", and no lineage for "Inherit seed_good for John's project.". Complete/partial ledger synthesis therefore defaults valid document work to code, while QA repair fails to restore the explicitly requested task type or lineage. Scope quote/reference detection to the matched contract instead of rejecting ordinary contractions, possessives, or domain descriptions, with extraction, ledger, and repair regressions. |

- Ran

- Ran Ruff over all changed Python source and test files: clean.
- Direct current-head runtime probes exposed the two semantic-scope failures above; the authored tests do not cover those realistic clause and possessive/domain-word cases.
- The PR body reports that the full suite was not rerun after the final mechanical split.
Design Notes
Centralizing task-type and lineage interpretation is directionally sound, but the shared clause heuristic is now a critical semantic authority used across extraction, fallback, repair, persistence, and execution routing. It must distinguish binding contracts from contextual prose without relying on lossy token boundaries or segment-wide keyword rejection.
Design / Roadmap Gate
Seed.task_type selects downstream execution strategy, and metadata.parent_seed_id is durable lineage propagated through runtime and projection paths. The PR improves recognized happy paths, but caller-controlled natural language can still either fabricate these contracts from historical prose or erase explicit positive contracts. The boundary therefore remains unsafe across Big Bang generation, complete/partial fallback, QA repair, persistence, and resumed execution.
Directional Notes
Review focus followed contract stabilization and replay-safe durable lineage. Maintainer memory was used only to prioritize mixed-clause, historical, and unrelated-word probes; both blockers are independently reproduced from the current source snapshot.

Prior Findings Status
Prior concerns are modified but maintained. The current revision fixes the previously demonstrated question, punctuation, quoted-contract, conjunction, and several historical-governor cases. Fresh current-head evidence nevertheless shows the same contract-boundary class remains for post-contract rejection and other ordinary negative constructions; no prior finding was assumed without reproduction.
Blockers
| # | File:Line | Severity | Finding |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | src/ouroboros/core/task_type.py:38 | BLOCKING | The non-binding filter still accepts explicitly rejected or superseded task-type requirements when the rejection follows the contract. Current-head probes return document for both The task_type: document requirement was rejected. and Use the default code task instead of task_type: document. because rejected, rather than, no longer, and post-match instead of semantics are not covered by the candidate segment. This value overrides model extraction at seed_generator.py:1837, becomes the durable fallback type at ledger_seed.py:143 and ledger_seed.py:366, and can change an existing code Seed to document during unrelated QA repair through requested_seed_qa_task_type. A direct repair probe with only an ambiguity-score diagnostic changed task_type from code to document. This can silently select the wrong execution strategy. |
| 2 | src/ouroboros/auto/seed_qa_contract.py:91 | BLOCKING | Parent-lineage extraction has the same semantic hole for explicit non-inheritance statements. Current-head probes return seed_bad for It is false that we inherit seed_bad., Start fresh instead of inheriting seed_bad., Rather than inherit seed_bad, start fresh., and We no longer inherit seed_bad. During _seed_with_seed_qa_feedback, this result overwrites the normal repair parent at pipeline.py:2963; a direct probe persisted metadata.parent_seed_id == "seed_bad" from the first sentence. Because this metadata is later serialized into lineage events, ordinary negative caller language can create false durable ancestry. |

Design Notes
Centralizing task-type and QA-contract parsing is directionally sound, but a regex heuristic over unrestricted goal prose is now authoritative for execution routing and durable lineage. That boundary must reject common non-binding language reliably before it is safe.
Design / Roadmap Gate
Seed.task_type selects the downstream execution strategy, while metadata.parent_seed_id is persisted into lineage events and projections. The PR correctly propagates parsed contracts through extraction, fallback, and repair, but this increases the impact of parser false positives: rejected task requirements can reroute execution, and explicit non-inheritance language can fabricate ancestry. These caller-controlled contracts remain unsafe across generation, fallback, repair, persistence, and resume.

Prior Findings Status
The prior review’s classification standard is maintained: task type and parent lineage are durable execution contracts, so caller-controlled non-authoritative text must fail closed across extraction, repair, and persistence. Several previously described forms are now covered and no longer serve as blockers, but current-head evidence demonstrates related authority and semantic-scoping failures that still violate that standard.
Blockers
| # | File:Line | Severity | Finding |

A brownfield goal of Extend the CLI implementation with codebase context containing a legacy/example line TASK_TYPE: document makes explicit_task_type_from_goal(...) return document, and this assignment overwrites the extractor’s valid code result. Because Seed.task_type selects the runtime execution strategy, repository documentation or source summaries can now silently reroute execution. Restrict override extraction to authoritative user answer/goal surfaces, or carry structured provenance so codebase/reference text cannot become a binding contract, and add a brownfield end-to-end regression. |
| 2 | src/ouroboros/core/task_type.py:38 | BLOCKING | The shared non-binding guards still accept ordinary historical and negative statements as binding contracts. Current-head probes return document for In the previous proposal, task_type: document., It is not true that task_type: document., and We are not using task_type: document. The same guards are reused by inherited_parent_seed_id, which returns seed_bad for In the previous proposal, inherit seed_bad. and It is not true that we inherit seed_bad.; _seed_with_seed_qa_feedback then persists that ID as the new Seed’s durable parent_seed_id. The historical-governor regex requires a later conjunction and the negative patterns cover selected phrases rather than these common forms, so caller-controlled non-binding prose can still misroute execution or fabricate lineage.

- The full 18k-test suite and changed-module mypy checks were not rerun during this review.
Design Notes
Centralizing task-type and QA-repair contracts is directionally sound, but the implementation still infers durable structured contracts from mixed-provenance free text. The parser needs a clearer authoritative-input boundary or reliably fail-closed semantic scoping.
Design / Roadmap Gate
Seed.task_type selects downstream execution strategy, and metadata.parent_seed_id is serialized lineage consumed by runtime and projection paths. The changed Big Bang path currently mixes user requirements with codebase reference material before parsing, while the shared parser still promotes common historical and negative language. Those authority failures propagate through generation, complete/partial fallback, QA repair, persistence, and resume, so the affected boundary is not yet compatible or replay-safe.
Directional Notes
Review focus followed end-to-end contract preservation and replay-safe durable lineage. Maintainer memory was used only to prioritize mixed-clause, fallback, brownfield, and persistence probes; both blockers are independently established by the current source and runtime probes.

What Improved
- Preserves straightforward explicit document
task_typecontracts across Big Bang generation, complete/degraded ledger synthesis, and Seed-QA repair. - Centralizes task-type and lineage parsing in focused modules, documents all supported task types, and keeps the module-size gate green.
- Adds broad regression coverage for corrections, negations, retractions, references, ambiguity, Korean wording, and parent lineage.
Issue Requirements
| Requirement | Status |
|---|---|
Preserve an explicitly requested Seed task_type during Big Bang extraction |
Partially met — direct positive forms are preserved, but descriptive field values can incorrectly override extracted routing. |
Preserve explicit task_type during complete and degraded ledger fallback synthesis |
Partially met — positive contracts survive, but both paths also promote non-binding implementation prose to document. |
Preserve explicit task_type during bounded Seed-QA repair |
Partially met — valid corrections work, but unrelated QA failures can trigger a false task-type repair and reroute execution. |
Prevent document goals from silently defaulting to code or becoming blocked at seed_qa_feedback_unmapped |
Partially met — the reported positive path is repaired, but the broader mapping now accepts unrelated QA feedback when a descriptive task-type mention is misclassified. |
| Preserve explicit parent-Seed lineage during QA repair | Partially met — binding inheritance forms survive, but descriptive parent_seed_id values can fabricate ancestry. |
| Keep touched grandfathered modules within module-size budgets by extracting focused contracts | Met — the repository module-size test passed. |
| Document all supported Seed task types | Met. |
Prior Findings Status
Prior concerns are maintained in modified form. The contributor addressed many previously exercised negation, correction, reference, persistence, and configuration phrases, and those focused regressions now pass. Fresh current-head evidence nevertheless shows the same underlying data-plane/control-plane authority boundary remains open for realistic conditional and “handle this field value” requirements.
Blockers
| # | File:Line | Severity | Finding |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | src/ouroboros/core/task_type.py:281 | BLOCKING | explicit_task_type_from_goal() still promotes ordinary data-plane requirements into execution authority. Current-head probes return document for both When task_type: document, render Markdown output in the existing Python service. and Handle task_type: document by rendering Markdown while keeping this Python CLI implementation. Complete and degraded ledger synthesis consequently produce document Seeds, and _seed_with_seed_qa_feedback() changes an existing code Seed to document even when QA reports only an unrelated retention-policy issue. Because this value selects the orchestrator strategy, realistic code work is silently routed through ArtifactStrategy. The authority check must reject conditional/descriptive field-value clauses without relying on a finite verb/noun blacklist, with end-to-end Big Bang, ledger, and repair regressions for these forms. |
| 2 | src/ouroboros/auto/seed_qa_contract.py:102 | BLOCKING | inherited_parent_seed_id() has the same authority-boundary gap for lineage. For Handle parent_seed_id: seed_historical during migration while preserving current repair lineage., it returns seed_historical; _seed_with_seed_qa_feedback() then replaces the expected immediate repair parent seed_current with that descriptive field value. This fabricates durable, replay-visible ancestry from ordinary implementation prose. Conditional/descriptive parent_seed_id clauses must fail closed, with deterministic and lateral repair tests proving they cannot overwrite the current Seed lineage. |

Test Coverage Notes
- Ran the affected source and regression suite with
SETUPTOOLS_SCM_PRETEND_VERSION=0.0.0 /root/.local/bin/uv run python -m pytest ... -q: 1,030 tests passed, including module size, Seed core, task-type parser, Big Bang, brownfield, ledger, interview pipeline, lateral repair, and Seed-QA contract tests. - Direct current-head runtime probes confirmed the two blockers through complete/degraded ledger synthesis and durable Seed-QA repair.
- The full repository suite was not rerun; the PR body also states it was not rerun after the final mechanical split.
Design Notes
Centralizing the parsing contracts is directionally sound, but execution routing and lineage are durable control-plane fields. A growing natural-language blacklist is not a safe authority boundary when ordinary implementation requirements can still set those fields.
Design / Roadmap Gate
Seed.task_type selects the downstream execution strategy, while metadata.parent_seed_id is persisted through repair and later runtime events. The changed resolvers feed Big Bang extraction, complete/degraded fallback synthesis, and deterministic/lateral repair from caller-controlled natural language. Since realistic conditional and implementation prose still becomes control-plane state, execution compatibility and replay-safe lineage are not yet established.
Directional Notes
Review focus followed end-to-end preservation of explicit execution routing and replay-visible ancestry. Prior review history and maintainer memory were used only to select adversarial data-plane/control-plane probes; both blockers are independently reproduced from the current source snapshot.

Prior Findings Status
The prior review’s semantic authority-boundary concerns remain applicable, but were re-established independently from the current snapshot. Current-head source and runtime probes still show non-binding implementation prose becoming execution routing and durable ancestry; previously addressed negation, correction, reference, and payload examples were not re-raised.
Blockers
| # | File:Line | Severity | Finding |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | src/ouroboros/core/task_type.py:298 | BLOCKING | The task-type resolver still promotes conditional implementation prose into the current Seed’s execution contract. A current-head probe with When the user asks for a document, set task_type: document in the generated Seed. returns document; complete ledger synthesis consequently produces a document Seed, and _seed_with_seed_qa_feedback rewrites an existing code Seed to document. This is a realistic code task describing how generated Seeds should behave, not an instruction to route the current task as a document. Because the result overrides model extraction at src/ouroboros/bigbang/seed_generator.py:1844, feeds ledger defaults at src/ouroboros/auto/ledger_seed.py:143, and selects the downstream execution strategy, this silently misroutes caller-controlled code work. The authority boundary needs to reject conditional/data-plane field assignment prose and add end-to-end Big Bang, complete/partial ledger, and repair regressions for it. |
| 2 | src/ouroboros/auto/seed_qa_contract.py:128 | BLOCKING | Parent parsing has the equivalent control-plane injection gap. When parent_seed_id is provided, set parent_seed_id: seed_fake in the result. currently resolves to seed_fake; running deterministic Seed-QA repair then writes that value into durable metadata.parent_seed_id through src/ouroboros/auto/pipeline.py:2963. This sentence describes result-field behavior and does not request inheritance by the current Seed, so the repair fabricates ancestry that later lineage events and replay projections will treat as real. Parent authority must fail closed for conditional implementation/result-field prose, with deterministic and lateral repair regressions proving the mentioned value never reaches durable metadata. |

- The PR body reports broader affected-suite, formatting, mypy, package, and smoke verification, but the full suite was not rerun after the final module split.
Design Notes
The extraction and repair modules are reasonably separated, but natural-language heuristics are being used as authority for execution routing and persistent lineage. That boundary must distinguish instructions for the current Seed from requirements describing fields handled by the product being built.
Design / Roadmap Gate
Seed.task_type selects tools, prompts, evaluation behavior, and deliverable expectations, while metadata.parent_seed_id becomes serialized ancestry consumed by repair, lineage events, and replay projections. The changed code propagates parsed values consistently, but caller-controlled conditional implementation prose can still cross both authority boundaries. Therefore execution compatibility, persistence truthfulness, and replay safety are not established despite the green focused and mechanical tests.
Directional Notes
Review focus followed end-to-end preservation of explicit execution intent and replay-visible lineage. Prior review history and maintainer memory were used only to target conditional data-plane/control-plane probes; both blockers are independently demonstrated by the current source and runtime results.

What Improved
- Preserves explicit document
task_typecontracts across Big Bang extraction, complete/partial ledger synthesis, and deterministic/lateral Seed-QA repair for many positive, corrected, negated, quoted, and historical forms. - Preserves explicitly requested parent-Seed lineage through QA repair for the covered authoritative forms.
- Centralizes task-type and QA-repair contract parsing into focused modules, keeps the module-size gate green, expands regression coverage, and documents all supported task types.
Issue Requirements
| Requirement | Status |
|---|---|
Preserve explicitly requested Seed task_type across Big Bang extraction |
Partially met — covered authoritative document forms survive, but ordinary implementation prose can also become authoritative and misroute execution. |
Preserve explicitly requested Seed task_type across complete and partial ledger fallback synthesis |
Partially met — positive contracts survive, but both paths consume the false-positive resolver; partial synthesis was directly reproduced as document for a code-routing goal. |
Preserve explicit task_type during bounded Seed-QA repair and avoid seed_qa_feedback_unmapped blockage |
Partially met — intended repairs are mapped, but false-positive goal text can trigger an incorrect task-type rewrite and deterministic-repair bypass. |

| Document supported task types | Met — the authoring guide lists all seven supported values and their execution behavior. |
Prior Findings Status
The prior authority-boundary concerns remain in modified current-head form. Current HEAD resolves many previously discussed negation, correction, reference, conditional, and artifact-content cases, so those specific forms are not re-raised. Independent current-source probes still show ordinary routing/configuration prose becoming execution task_type and durable parent lineage, so the same conservative classification standard remains applicable.
Blockers
| # | File:Line | Severity | Finding |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | src/ouroboros/core/task_type.py:312 | BLOCKING | The artifact/data-plane guard still treats ordinary implementation prose as a binding Seed routing contract. For example, explicit_task_type_from_goal("Route task_type: document requests to artifact workers."), "Map PDFs to task_type: document in the routing table.", and "Read task_type: document from the config." all return document. The first phrase also makes partial_seed_from_evidence(...) synthesize a document Seed, even though the goal is code work implementing routing. Big Bang generation, both ledger fallbacks, and QA repair all consume this resolver, so realistic schema/configuration requirements can silently select ArtifactStrategy instead of CodeStrategy. Require affirmative Seed-level routing semantics rather than relying on an incomplete blacklist, and add end-to-end regressions for these ordinary data-plane forms. |
| 2 | src/ouroboros/auto/seed_qa_contract.py:128 | BLOCKING | Parent-lineage extraction has the same remaining authority leak. inherited_parent_seed_id() returns seed_demo for ordinary implementation goals such as Route records with parent_seed_id: seed_demo to replay., Treat parent_seed_id: seed_demo as an opaque string., and Read parent_seed_id: seed_demo from the config. A focused runtime probe then showed _seed_with_seed_qa_feedback() replacing the actual current parent seed_current with seed_demo. This fabricates durable ancestry during normal or lateral repair and makes replay/projection state untruthful. Field-value prose must remain non-binding unless the goal explicitly requests Seed inheritance, with durable repair regressions covering these forms. |

Design Notes
Centralizing contract parsing is directionally useful, but blacklist-based natural-language authority detection remains unsafe for fields that control execution routing and persisted ancestry. These values need a narrower affirmative authority grammar or an explicitly structured source of truth.
Design / Roadmap Gate
Seed.task_type selects tools, prompts, evaluation behavior, and deliverable expectations, while metadata.parent_seed_id is serialized ancestry used by repair and later runtime projections. The changed resolvers feed Big Bang extraction, complete/degraded fallback synthesis, and deterministic/lateral repair from caller-controlled natural language.

Prior Findings Status
Prior concerns are maintained in narrowed, current-head form. The contributor has addressed many previously identified question, quotation, historical, conditional, correction, conjunction, cancellation, and data-plane wording cases. Fresh source probes nevertheless show that ordinary “is not required” language still crosses both the execution-routing and durable-lineage authority boundaries; no prior finding is assumed without this current snapshot evidence.
Blockers
| # | File:Line | Severity | Finding |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | src/ouroboros/core/task_type.py:133 | BLOCKING | Plain negative requirement wording still becomes an affirmative execution-routing contract. explicit_task_type_from_goal("Build a Python CLI; task_type: document is not required for this Seed.") returns document; both synthesize_seed_from_ledger and partial_seed_from_evidence consequently emit document Seeds instead of retaining the default code route. The rejection grammar covers “is no longer required” and “does not need to be,” but not the ordinary “is not required” form. Because the same parser overrides model extraction in Big Bang and drives Seed-QA repair, this can silently select artifact tools, prompts, evaluation behavior, and deliverables contrary to user intent. Reject this negative form and add parser plus complete/degraded ledger and repair regressions. |
| 2 | src/ouroboros/auto/seed_qa_contract.py:166 | BLOCKING | The parent-lineage parser has the same fail-open negative tail. inherited_parent_seed_id returns seed_external for “Inheriting from seed_external is not required,” and _seed_with_seed_qa_feedback then persists seed_external as metadata.parent_seed_id instead of the current Seed ID.

- The PR body reports that the full 18k suite was not rerun after the final mechanical module split.
Design Notes
Centralizing task-type and lineage interpretation is directionally sound, and the affirmative contracts now propagate consistently. However, these regex resolvers are authority-boundary parsers: a false positive is more dangerous than a missed inference because it silently rewrites execution strategy or persisted ancestry.
Design / Roadmap Gate
Seed.task_type selects downstream tools, prompts, evaluation behavior, and expected deliverables. metadata.parent_seed_id is durable ancestry consumed by repair, events, and replay-visible projections. The changed parsers feed Big Bang extraction, complete/degraded fallback synthesis, and deterministic/lateral repair from caller-controlled prose. Since a normal negative requirement can still become either control value, execution compatibility and persistence truthfulness are not yet safe. The modularization and supported-value alignment fit the architecture, but the authority gate must fail closed consistently.
Directional Notes
Review focus followed the maintainer’s contract-stability posture and the advisory memory emphasis on preserving explicit execution intent and parent lineage end to end. Prior review history guided inspection toward contrastive and negative natural-language forms only; both blockers are independently reproduced from the current source snapshot.

Prior Findings Status
The prior exact "is not required" task-type and lineage examples are addressed and covered by current tests. Those specific concerns are withdrawn. The authority-boundary concern remains modified rather than repeated: fresh current-source evidence shows equivalent contracted and ordinary negative forms still cross both routing and durable-lineage boundaries.

- Ran 729 affected task-type, lineage, ledger, pipeline, Big Bang, and requirement-distillation tests: all passed.
- Ran 208 additional interview, brownfield, and module-size tests: all passed.
- Ruff check passed and all 13 changed Python files passed formatting checks.
- Focused runtime probes independently reproduced both blockers through complete/degraded ledger synthesis and deterministic Seed-QA repair.
- The full 18k test suite was not rerun after the contributor’s mechanical module split, matching the limitation documented in the PR body.
Design Notes
Centralizing task-type and lineage authority checks is directionally sound, and the supported-value set aligns with the Seed schema and execution-strategy registry. However, both resolvers remain security-like trust boundaries over caller-controlled prose and must fail closed consistently before their results affect execution routing or persisted ancestry.
Design / Roadmap Gate
Seed.task_type selects downstream tools, prompts, evaluation behavior, and expected deliverables. metadata.parent_seed_id is serialized ancestry consumed by repair and replay-visible runtime paths. The changed shared resolvers feed Big Bang extraction, complete/degraded fallback synthesis, and deterministic/lateral repair. Since common explicit negative contracts can still become either control value, execution compatibility and durable lineage truthfulness are not yet established despite green authored tests and mechanical checks.
Directional Notes
Review focus followed end-to-end preservation of explicit execution intent and replay-visible parent lineage. Prior reviews and advisory maintainer memory guided inspection toward adjacent negative language only; both blockers are independently demonstrated by the current source snapshot and runtime probes.

Prior Findings Status
The earlier broad concern about natural-language authority crossing into execution routing and durable lineage remains, but its evidence is modified. The previously reported ordinary negative forms such as is not required now fail closed in current-head probes and are withdrawn. The remaining blockers are independently reproduced trailing-conditional forms that the current tests cover only when the condition precedes the contract.
Blockers
| # | File:Line | Severity | Finding |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | src/ouroboros/core/task_type.py:188 | BLOCKING | The tail-ambiguity guard recognizes if/unless/whether only when they immediately begin the suffix, so common conditional contracts such as The task type is document only if requested are treated as binding. Current-head probes show both synthesize_seed_from_ledger and partial_seed_from_evidence producing task_type="document", and deterministic/lateral QA repair also rewriting a code Seed to document. Because task_type selects the execution strategy, this can silently reroute work whose condition was never established. Reject trailing forms such as only if, only when, and equivalent conditional qualifiers, with regressions across Big Bang extraction, complete/partial fallback synthesis, and both repair paths. |
| 2 | src/ouroboros/auto/seed_qa_contract.py:167 | BLOCKING | Parent-lineage extraction has the same trailing-conditional hole: Inherit seed_old only if requested and Use seed_old as the parent seed only when resuming an interrupted run both resolve to seed_old. Current-head probes show deterministic and lateral QA repair persisting that ID as metadata.parent_seed_id, even though the condition is unresolved. This fabricates durable, replay-visible ancestry. The inheritance authority check must fail closed for trailing conditional qualifiers, with parser and durable repair regressions. |

Test Coverage Notes
- Ran 724 affected unit tests covering task-type parsing, lineage parsing, ledger synthesis, Big Bang generation, and Seed-QA repair; all passed.
- Ran the real-repository module-size gate; 1 passed.
- Ran Ruff over the changed source and principal affected tests; clean.
- Added direct current-head runtime probes demonstrating the two conditional-tail failures through complete/degraded ledger synthesis and deterministic/lateral repair.
- The full post-split test suite was not rerun in this review; the PR body also states the complete 18k suite was not rerun after the mechanical module split.
Design Notes
The shared parsing module is a sensible architectural direction, and its reuse across extraction, fallback, and repair reduces drift. However, centralization also amplifies authority-classification errors across every execution and persistence path.
Design / Roadmap Gate
Clear positive contracts now propagate consistently and module boundaries remain healthy. Compatibility and replay safety are not yet established because unresolved trailing conditions cross both affected authority boundaries: one changes execution strategy, and the other writes durable ancestry. These paths must fail closed regardless of whether the conditional governor appears before or after the matched contract.
Directional Notes
Review focus followed contract stabilization: task_type controls orchestration, while parent_seed_id is durable lineage. Prior reviews and maintainer memory were used only to target conditional-language probes; both findings are independently established from the current source and runtime results.

What Improved
- Explicit supported task types are centralized and documented consistently.
- Clear document task-type contracts now propagate through Big Bang extraction, complete/degraded ledger synthesis, and deterministic/lateral QA repair.
- QA repair preserves clearly expressed parent-Seed lineage instead of always replacing it with the immediately repaired Seed.

Prior Findings Status
Prior negation, quotation, reference/example, correction, and retraction concerns appear addressed by the current source and green affected suite. The prior unresolved-conditional concern is maintained with fresh current-snapshot evidence. A positive-contract false negative and a separate implementation-prose lineage false positive were also independently found in the current shared resolvers.
Blockers
| # | File:Line | Severity | Finding |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | src/ouroboros/core/task_type.py:235 | BLOCKING | The artifact-governor allowlist rejects an unambiguously binding task-type contract when an implementation verb precedes it. For example, Implement the requested document with task_type: document. returns None, so both complete and partial ledger synthesis produce task_type="code" and QA repair also leaves the Seed as code. This recreates the silent execution misrouting the PR intends to fix. The parser needs to distinguish implementation-prose operands from direct current-Seed routing statements rather than rejecting every implement ... task_type clause except the narrow Implement this as ... special case, with end-to-end regressions for complete/partial fallback and repair. |
| 2 | src/ouroboros/core/task_type.py:188 | BLOCKING | The shared ambiguity guard recognizes only a narrow set of trailing conditionals. Unresolved forms such as Use task_type: document pending approval and Inherit seed_bad subject to approval are accepted as authoritative; runtime probes show the former routes complete/partial Seeds and QA repair to document, while the latter is persisted as durable parent_seed_id during repair. Equivalent forms using after approval, once approved, upon approval, assuming ..., and contingent on ... also cross the boundary. Caller-controlled unresolved conditions must fail closed for both task routing and lineage, with regressions through every synthesis and repair path. |
| 3 | src/ouroboros/auto/seed_qa_contract.py:147 | BLOCKING | Inheritance verb matches are not required to demonstrate current-Seed authority, and the shared artifact guard does not cover ordinary implementation clauses containing inherit/inheriting. Consequently, code-task goals such as Implement support for inheriting from seed_demo., Add support for inheriting from seed_demo., and Test inheriting from seed_demo. all resolve to seed_demo; _seed_with_seed_qa_feedback then serializes that fabricated ancestry into metadata.parent_seed_id. Apply the data-plane/control-plane authority gate to inheritance syntax as well as bare parent_seed_id fields, and add durable deterministic/lateral repair regressions. |

Test Coverage Notes

_seed_with_seed_qa_feedback; these reproduced all three blocking findings. - The PR reports that the full 18k suite was not rerun after the mechanical module split; targeted coverage is broad, but the authored tests do not cover the reproduced authority forms.
Design Notes
Centralizing task-type and lineage authority parsing is directionally sound, but the current regex authority model remains asymmetric: some direct contracts are treated as artifact content while some ordinary implementation or conditional prose becomes control-plane state.
Design / Roadmap Gate
Seed.task_type selects downstream tools, prompts, evaluation behavior, and expected deliverables. metadata.parent_seed_id is durable ancestry carried into later repair and replay-visible state. Because the changed shared resolvers feed Big Bang extraction, complete/degraded fallback synthesis, and deterministic/lateral QA repair, they must preserve clear positive contracts while failing closed for unresolved or artifact-level prose. Current behavior violates both sides of that boundary, so execution compatibility and persistence truthfulness are not yet established.
Directional Notes
Review focus followed end-to-end preservation of explicit execution routing and replay-visible lineage. Prior review history and maintainer memory were used only to select hostile positive, conditional, and data-plane probes; every blocker above is independently demonstrated by the current source snapshot and runtime output.

Design Notes
Centralizing the shared semantic contract is directionally sound, and using it consistently across extraction, fallback, and repair reduces contract drift. However, regex-based authority detection remains unsafe until common retraction language fails closed at both control boundaries.
Design / Roadmap Gate

Prior Findings Status
Prior concerns remain in modified form. The contributor addressed many previously identified negative, conditional, reference, and retraction phrasings, but fresh current-snapshot evidence shows punctuation-separated ambiguity and common standalone retractions still cross the same execution-routing and durable-lineage boundaries. No inline human review comments were present.

The same defect accepts Inherit seed_old, pending approval. and similar conditional lineage. Runtime probes confirmed that complete and partial ledger synthesis both produce task_type=document, deterministic QA repair changes a code Seed to document, and QA repair persists parent_seed_id=seed_old.

- The full 18k test suite was not rerun after the PR’s mechanical module split, consistent with the PR body.
Design Notes
Centralizing the shared contract resolver is directionally sound, but it makes parser correctness a cross-cutting authority boundary. Clause segmentation currently discards semantic qualifiers before the fail-closed checks can evaluate them.
Design / Roadmap Gate
The changed resolver feeds Big Bang extraction, complete/degraded ledger synthesis, and deterministic/lateral QA repair. Clear positive contracts propagate consistently, but compatibility and replay safety are not established while unresolved qualifiers can select execution strategy and ordinary retractions can persist withdrawn intent. Both authority boundaries must fail closed before merge.
Directional Notes
Review focus followed end-to-end contract stabilization: task_type controls orchestration and deliverable expectations, while parent_seed_id is replay-visible durable lineage. Prior reviews and maintainer memory only directed the hostile-language probes; both blockers are independently demonstrated by the current source and runtime results.

Prior Findings Status
Prior concerns are maintained in modified form under the same authority-boundary standard. Current code substantially improves affirmative, correction, reference, and negation handling, so those resolved cases are not re-raised. Fresh current-head evidence still shows rejected task/lineage contracts becoming authoritative and descriptive lineage references becoming fabricated durable IDs.

Require an actual explicit identifier rather than accepting articles or unresolved descriptive references, and add durable repair regressions proving such phrases cannot corrupt lineage. |

Test Coverage Notes
- Reviewed the changed parser, Big Bang extraction, complete/partial ledger synthesis, deterministic/lateral QA repair, execution-strategy registry, and associated tests.

- The full suite was not rerun in this review environment.
Design Notes
Centralizing the parsing contract is directionally sound, but regex-derived natural-language authority must fail closed before it controls execution routing or durable ancestry.
Design / Roadmap Gate
Seed.task_type selects downstream tools, prompts, evaluation behavior, and deliverables, while metadata.parent_seed_id is replay-visible durable lineage. The shared parser now feeds Big Bang extraction, complete/degraded synthesis, and deterministic/lateral repair. Positive-path compatibility is strong, but rejected values still cross the execution boundary and unresolved descriptive references can become persisted ancestry, so fail-closed routing and truthful durable state are not yet established.
Directional Notes
Review focus followed the PR’s end-to-end execution-intent and lineage claims. Prior reviews and maintainer memory were used only to target hostile authority-language and persistence probes; both blockers are independently demonstrated by the current source snapshot and runtime output.

Merge Recommendation
Request changes. The modularization, documentation, and affected test suite are strong, but current-head probes still demonstrate rejected task routing and fabricated durable parent lineage on realistic caller-controlled goals.

Summary
Preserve an explicitly requested Seed
task_typeacross Big Bang extraction, ledger fallback synthesis, and bounded Seed-QA repair. This prevents document goals from silently defaulting tocode, which previously misrouted execution and left resumable auto sessions blocked atseed_qa_feedback_unmapped.The change also keeps explicit parent-Seed lineage during QA repair and moves the new contracts into focused modules so the grandfathered module-size budgets remain green.
