Architect drift review (cycle 9e8b9ec..HEAD) returned drift_found. Three
cycle-introduced items, all repaired here as tidy edits:
- planner/SKILL.md: the cycle never touched it (recon never scoped it,
the feat commit body's "every pipeline rendering agrees" over-claimed).
Its Handoff Contract still named `brainstorm → planner` and the bounce
`planner → brainstorm`; the Input-source cross-ref and two
rationalisation rows still pointed at brainstorm as the spec producer.
All repointed to specify (specify produces and owns the spec; brainstorm
is the optional discovery stage upstream of it). The skip rule now lists
specify in the design path tdd bypasses.
- specify/agents/grounding-check.md: the agent move left one stale pair —
"self-review (Step 7) and user-approval (Step 8)" were brainstorm's old
numbers; in specify they are Step 4 and Step 6.
- profile-schema + template: the `optional: true` per-phase key I
introduced in the plan was undocumented AND rested on a semantic error —
`brainstorm: { gates: [specify] }` reads as "specify cannot start until
brainstorm has run", which is false (specify enters directly from
sources). Corrected to `brainstorm: {}` (an active phase with no hard
gate of its own, like implement); specify keeps `gates: [planner]` as
the one real hard gate. The optional key is gone; brainstorm's
optionality lives in the skip rules and SKILL prose, where it belongs.
Why these escaped the cycle's own grep suite: the consistency greps used
`brainstorm *-> *planner`, which does not match the real renderings
`` `brainstorm` -> `planner` `` (backticks between the words). The same
filter-string blind spot recurred twice this session; the verification
greps here tolerate optional backticks.
Pre-existing debt (NOT cycle-introduced), filed as backlog Brummel/Skills
issue #5 rather than fixed here: docs/migration.md's layout tree and
README's migration-status both predate tdd/glossary/pseudo/issue/
postmortem and misdescribe the roster.
Verdict: cycle drift-clean after these repairs (carry-on). No regression
gate (prose repo, no scripts). Not a milestone close.
