Alignment Summary

overall_status: critical critical_issues: 1 high_issues: 2 medium_issues: 2 low_issues: 0

Alignment Findings

  • [MEDIUM] 22 proposed items without progression.
  • Recommendation:
  • [CRITICAL] Persistence Lag: Items in AEM are marked as 'DONE' despite lacking corresponding 'ACCEPTED' Architecture Decision Records (ADRs).
  • Recommendation: Perform a retrospective audit of all 'DONE' items. Revert AEM status to 'NEXT' or 'READY' for any item without a formally accepted ADR.
  • [HIGH] Unratified Authority of the Architecture Work Registry (AWR).
  • Recommendation: Draft and ratify a formal ADR establishing the AWR as the authoritative backlog for CAS.
  • [HIGH] Schema Impedance: Reasoning prompts currently output Markdown narrative instead of structured JSON/YAML.
  • Recommendation: Update all 'conversation-to-aw', 'discovery-to-aw', and 'vision-to-aw' prompts to enforce mandatory JSON output schemas.
  • [MEDIUM] Governance Velocity Bottleneck: Implementation and proposals are outpacing governance decision-making at a 15:1 ratio.
  • Recommendation: Implement the Automated Detect-Analyse-Execute loop (aw-ideas-to-life-cas-2026-06-06-001) and establish triage heuristics.

Architecture Work Derived

  • [MEDIUM] Too many unprogressed proposals
  • [HIGH] Conduct retrospective audit of all 'DONE' AEM items to synchronize lifecycle state with ADR acceptance status.
  • [HIGH] Convert aw-ideas-to-life-cas-2026-05-31-001 into a formal ADR and move to 'ACCEPTED' status.
  • [MEDIUM] Migrate Reasoning Prompts (ConversationToAW, etc.) to mandatory JSON-first output contracts.
