Alignment Summary

overall_status: partially_aligned critical_issues: 0 high_issues: 3 medium_issues: 2 low_issues: 0

Alignment Findings

  • [MEDIUM] 22 proposed items without progression.
  • Recommendation:
  • [HIGH] Unratified Core Orchestration Pipeline Boundary. Runtime execution relies on declared orchestration flows (flow:declared_flow:src-cas_runner-steps-registry.py:orchestration-flow), but the corresponding ADR remains in READY/proposed state rather than accepted.
  • Recommendation: Draft and ratify ADR for Core Orchestration Pipeline in the Architecture Forum, transitioning aw-ideas-to-life-cas-2026-05-31-003 from proposed to accepted.
  • [HIGH] Authoritative Architecture Work Registry Contamination. The Architecture Work registry and AEM execution summary contain unpurged dummy placeholder records ('dummy_string'), corrupting metrics calculation and lifecycle accounting.
  • Recommendation: Purge placeholder records ('dummy_string', 'aw-discovery-ideas-to-life-cas-1') from the Architecture Work repository and recompute AEM execution summary metrics.
  • [HIGH] Lifecycle Staging and Governance Status Inconsistency. Pattern classification and diagram governance items are progressing in roadmap staging while their formal ADRs remain pending review, risking unratified architectural divergence.
  • Recommendation: Submit adr-pattern-classification-framework-define-2026-04-23 and adr-diagram-governance-refactor-2026-04-22 to the Architecture Forum for formal acceptance before promoting downstream roadmap stages.
  • [MEDIUM] Business Intent Ingestion Contract and Schema Gap. Strategic intent calls for connecting business intent directly to architecture decisions, but schemas and automated ingestion workflows remain unratified.
  • Recommendation: Specify and adopt a structured JSON schema contract for Business Intent artifacts and implement the ingestion contract in the Alignment Engine.

Architecture Work Derived

  • [MEDIUM] Too many unprogressed proposals
  • [HIGH] Ratify ADR for Core Orchestration Pipeline to establish formal decision provenance for runtime orchestration flows.
  • [HIGH] Sanitize Architecture Work repository by pruning placeholder records and recomputing AEM execution counters.
  • [HIGH] Conduct Architecture Forum review to decide on pending Pattern Classification Framework and Diagram Governance ADRs.
  • [MEDIUM] Define Business Intent JSON Schema and validate contract against Alignment Engine ingestion requirements.
