Alignment Findings
- [MEDIUM] 22 proposed items without progression.
- Recommendation:
- [CRITICAL] Core Orchestration Pipeline actively executes workflows while its foundational ADR remains in [READY] state without formal Architecture Forum review or acceptance.
- Recommendation: Draft and ratify the Core Orchestration Pipeline ADR through the Architecture Forum prior to expanding orchestration capabilities.
- [CRITICAL] Synthetic placeholder strings ('dummy_string') contaminate Architecture Work items and distort quantitative AEM metrics.
- Recommendation: Purge placeholder mock records from the Architecture Work registry and enforce schema validation gates to reject synthetic strings.
- [HIGH] Unratified items marked with [READY] and [PENDING] tags are placed into stage 'NEXT' in the Evolution Map without accepted decision status.
- Recommendation: Revert unaccepted stage NEXT items to stage PROPOSED until formal architectural acceptance is recorded in an ADR.
- [HIGH] Lack of structured, machine-readable domain schemas for Business Intent delays strategic-to-code alignment verification in the Alignment Engine.
- Recommendation: Define machine-readable Pydantic schemas for Business Intent artifacts in src/cas_runner/schemas/ and bind them into Alignment Engine execution.
Architecture Work Derived
- [MEDIUM] Too many unprogressed proposals
- [HIGH] Ratify the Core Orchestration Pipeline ADR through the Architecture Forum to formalize the foundational execution baseline (resolves ALIGN-001).
- [HIGH] Purge synthetic 'dummy_string' records from the Architecture Work registry and add schema validation pre-commit checks (resolves ALIGN-002).
- [HIGH] Implement CAS Runner gate rules preventing promotion of items to stage 'NEXT' without accepted ADR status (resolves ALIGN-003).
- [HIGH] Define strongly-typed Pydantic contracts for Business Intent artifacts to enable closed-loop intent alignment verification (resolves ALIGN-004).
