Glossary
| Term | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Intent | What the change must make true. At minimum weight, one inline sentence. |
| Key | A moment present on virtually every change: intent, review, and findings. |
| Scaffold | Structure pulled in when work earns it: spec, task split, inventory, drill, change plan, campaign, checker. |
| Spec | Working structured intent: intent and verifiable requirements, plus only the optional sections that carry information. |
| Requirement / AC | One condition, one observable obligation, exactly one binding word, and one verification method under a stable spec-local ID. |
| Task packet | A scoped slice cut when a source must be decomposed across workers or waves. |
| Execution notes | Changed files, verification output, scope drift, and blockers for the current run. |
| Inventory | Observation-only map of current modules, interfaces, behavior, tests, constraints, and unknowns. |
| Drill | One-seam lock-and-write: Language, then Obligation, then Place, then Slice. No Suspec artifact. |
| Change plan | Safe transformation plan with preservation guarantees, waves, cutover, rollback, and checks. |
| Audit | Evidence-backed record of present-state risks; no intended behavior or prescription. |
| Research | Evidence for one decision-informing question; no decision. |
| Campaign artifact | Restartable multi-pull-request goal contract: stable objective, authorities, operating loop, blockers, and verifiable completion; mutable progress stays in one project-native ledger. |
| Inspection method | A bounded method run over a target. Bulletproof and Demolition stay read-only; Revolver repairs between sequential stances; Triple-check repairs after one parallel review wave. |
| Panel | Independent analysis of viable alternatives, compressed into one recommendation, material dissent, and unknowns. Chat only; it writes no artifact. |
| Independent review | A non-implementer judges the result on a native PR, via Revolver, Triple-check, or Bulletproof. No Suspec review file. |
| Finding | A lesson candidate. It is not a standalone artifact type. |
| Native memory | A harness-provided durable memory surface; used only when supported. |
| Evidence | Directly inspectable output, CI run, or named manual observation tied to a claim. |
| Evidence receipt | Untyped sidecar holding one raw command record under a stable anchor. |
| Run note | Untyped sidecar for execution or round detail too large for its governing artifact. |
| Decision gate | Structured human selection for material or irreversible choices. |
| Settle | Evidence-driven resolution of agent-owned technical or procedural ambiguity. |
| Artifact disposition | Human close choice for a complete transient artifact set: Delete, Leave, or Promote. Other is the picker escape hatch, not a disposition. |
| Checker | suspec check: read-only facts and severity levels over explicit artifact paths. |
| Revolver | Purpose-agnostic breadth inspection through every materially distinct target-derived stance, resolved sequentially. |
| Triple-check | Exactly three fresh top-tier reviewers attacking one frozen target concurrently. |
| Campaign | Large delivery governed by a campaign artifact and admitted only after project-native lane, proof, resource, review, merge, and cleanup controls are proven. |
| Worktree lane | One stable repository worktree with one active branch and one implementation owner, recycled across campaign tasks. |
Authority
Working artifacts direct live work. After close, code, tests, maintained project records, and supported native memory carry durable truth.
