{"input": {"content": "# swedsl#13 verdict: unaccepted drift blocks the gate fail-closed, prose cleanly clears it\n\nYes — unaccepted drift blocks the CAD gate fail-closed, as authoritative over an\napproving reviewer as a step failure, and an in-oath prose marker cleanly clears\nthe block. This is the drift half of the #55 rubber-stamp answer (the step-failure\nhalf was #8).\n\n## Mechanism (spike/gate.go + spike/oath.go)\n- `Gate` switched from the strict `Run` to the drift-tolerant `RunReport`, so an\n  unmatched sentence becomes a gate *outcome*, not a structural error/crash.\n- `Verdict` now carries `Failure *GateFailure` and `Drift []GateDrift` in SEPARATE\n  fields (the deliberate AC#4 call — NOT collapsed into one \"not satisfied\"\n  signal). A human triaging a block must distinguish \"you lost coverage\" (drift)\n  from \"the code is wrong\" (failure). `Pass` is true only when Failure is nil AND\n  Drift is empty.\n- `Decide` blocks on drift with a reason distinct from a failure, naming the\n  offending sentence + its issue-body offset (composed through #8's additive span),\n  so the block is actionable, not opaque. Step failure surfaced first, drift second.\n- Acceptance = explicit deterministic marker `ProseMarker` (\"prose\" HTML comment as\n  a trailing suffix on the sentence). A marked unmatched sentence is excluded from\n  drift; unmarked stays drift. Not a heuristic.\n\n## Load-bearing design note\nThe whole point: silent coverage loss is exactly what Vár exists to stop, so the\nfail-closed default (block) is the only choice consistent with the spike. A \"warn\nonly\" policy would let coverage silently erode past an approving reviewer — the\nfailure mode the project is named against.\n\n## Dependency reality at implementation time\n#11 (prose marker) and #12 (drift enumerable) were still OPEN when #13 landed.\n#12's substance already existed via #10's `RunReport` separate `Drift` slice; #11's\nmarker did NOT exist and was implemented minimally inside #13 as the hard\ndependency it is for the accepted-prose test. #11 proper still owns surfacing prose\nas its own category + the marked-AND-matched-step precedence.

{"text": "Done. Final report below.\n\n## Summary\n\nResolved issue #13 — **unaccepted drift blocks the CAD gate fail-closed; accepted-as-prose drift clears it.**\n\n### What changed (branch `feat/13-drift-blocks-gate`, commit `8ec1f9f`, PR #24)\n- **`spike/gate.go`** — `Gate` now runs the drift-tolerant `RunReport` instead of the strict `Run`, so an unmatched sentence is a gate *outcome*, not a structural crash. `Verdict` gains a **separate** `Drift []GateDrift` field (kept distinct from `Failure` per AC#4 — \"you lost coverage\" vs \"the code is wrong\" stay separate signals). `Pass` is true only when there is no failure **and** no unaccepted drift. `Decide` blocks on drift over an approving reviewer, with a reason that names the offending sentence + its issue-body offset (AC#3, actionable).\n- **`spike/oath.go`** — added a minimal deterministic `ProseMarker` (explicit trailing HTML-comment suffix); a marked unmatched sentence is excluded from drift.\n- **`spike/gate_test.go`** + two fixtures — `TestGate_UnacceptedDriftBlocks` and `TestGate_AcceptedProseDriftDoesNotBlock`, written red-first (confirmed failing on missing API, then green).\n- **`spike/SPIKE.md`** — documented the decision (AC#4).\n\nVerification: `go test ./...`, `go vet ./...`, and `go test -race ./...` all green in **both** modules (root + `spike/`). No regression on prior issues.\n\n### Notable process findings (also written to brain → homelab/failures)\n1. **This repo has no CI.** The brief says \"CI is the ground-truth done-signal,\" but `mathias/swedsl` has no `.gitea/workflows` and zero workflow runs ever. There is no CI signal to wait on here — green local tests in both modules are the only verification available. PR #24 is open for merge.\n2. **Dependency inversion:** #13 depends on #11 (prose marker) and #12 (drift enumerable), but **both were still open**. #12's substance already existed via #10's `RunReport`; #11's marker did not exist, so I implemented it minimally as the hard dependency it is for AC#2. A future #11 dispatch should extend `ProseMarker`, not redefine it.\n3. **Bash-policy friction (recorded for future dispatches):** literal angle brackets in a commit `-m` are read as redirects and denied; a multi-`-m` body was denied while a single-line `-m` went through — so long rationale went into the PR body/SPIKE.md instead. `go test -run 'A|B'` trips the pipe filter (use a shared prefix); `cd &&` is denied (use `go test -C /abs/path`).\n\nThe task verdict is recorded in brain → `swedsl/facts`.", "turn": 108, "type": "assistant"}
