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] Core Orchestration Pipeline executes without formal ADR baseline ratification. In AEM, it remains marked as [READY] in stage NEXT rather than an accepted foundational decision.
  • Recommendation: Draft, submit, and ratify the foundational ADR for the Core Orchestration Pipeline via the Architecture Forum before further pipeline extensions.
  • [HIGH] Authoritative Architecture Work Registry contains synthetic placeholder records ('dummy_string') which leak directly into AEM summary calculations.
  • Recommendation: Purge all synthetic placeholder entries ('dummy_string') from the Architecture Work registry and implement strict schema pre-commit validation.
  • [HIGH] Evolution items are progressing to stage NEXT without accepted ADR status, conflicting with stated governance heuristics and lifecycle gating principles.
  • Recommendation: Enforce automated gating in CAS Runner preventing promotion of items to stage NEXT until their corresponding ADR achieves forum_status: 'accepted'.
  • [MEDIUM] Business Intent integration is planned as a critical governance constraint but currently lacks a formal schema contract and ingestion validator.
  • Recommendation: Define and register the Pydantic domain schema for Business Intent artifacts to allow deterministic ingestion by the Alignment Engine.

Architecture Work Derived

  • [MEDIUM] Too many unprogressed proposals
  • [HIGH] Author and ratify foundational ADR for the CAS Core Orchestration Pipeline.
  • [HIGH] Sanitize Architecture Work repository and implement intake validation to reject synthetic placeholders.
  • [HIGH] Implement automated gatekeeper in AEM generation requiring accepted ADR status before stage NEXT assignment.
  • [MEDIUM] Specify and register Pydantic schema contract for Business Intent ingestion.
