Batch Report — cycle 4, batch 01

Batch: 01 Cycle: 4 Tasks: AZ-899, AZ-900, AZ-901 Total complexity: 3 SP (1 + 1 + 1) Date: 2026-05-26 Commit: aa8b9f2 on dev

Task Selection

Wave-1 cycle-4 housekeeping. All three tasks are dependency-independent (no internal deps among themselves or against other cycle-4 work). Selected together because:

• Each is 1 SP, fits cleanly in a single review unit.
• All three are "cycle-N process housekeeping" with no source code under src/ touched — low blast radius, fast verification.
• Picking these first lets the heavier batches (AZ-894 + AZ-896 CSV path, AZ-895 deprecation, AZ-897 UI) start with the leftover cleared and the retro gate codified.

Task Results

Task	Status	Files Modified	Tests	AC Coverage	Issues
AZ-899_architecture_compliance_baseline	Done	1 added (_docs/02_document/architecture_compliance_baseline.md)	Doc inspection (no executable test)	3/4 immediate; AC-4 defers to first cycle-4 cumulative review	None
AZ-900_autodev_retro_existence_gate	Done	2 modified (.cursor/skills/autodev/flows/existing-code.md, .cursor/skills/autodev/state.md)	Doc inspection (no executable test)	4/4	None
AZ-901_evidence_out_default_path_fix	Done	1 modified (e2e/runner/conftest.py), 1 deleted (_docs/_process_leftovers/2026-05-26_evidence_out_default_path.md)	python -m pytest e2e/tests/performance/ -v --tb=short → exit 0, 24 SKIPPED, evidence at <repo_root>/e2e-results/evidence/ (AC-1)	5/5	None

File-Ownership Note

Module-layout has no Per-Component Mapping entry for pure-doc / workflow tasks (_docs/02_document/process_docs/, .cursor/skills/). For AZ-899 and AZ-900, OWNED was derived from the explicit files named in the task spec, with FORBIDDEN broadly set to src/** (no source code touched). This is a practical interpretation of implement-skill Step 4 for doc-only work; it does not violate the skill's intent (no drift into unrelated source components). AZ-901's e2e/runner/conftest.py falls cleanly under blackbox_tests cross-cutting (Owns e2e/**).

AC Test Coverage

• AZ-899: 3/4 ACs verified immediately by structural file inspection. AC-4 is a forward-looking AC that fires at the first cycle-4 cumulative review (next K=3 batch boundary or end-of-cycle). The baseline file now exists, so the cumulative-review skill will emit ## Baseline Delta starting from its next run — no code or doc change in this batch can trigger AC-4 verification earlier.
• AZ-900: 4/4 ACs verified by inspection of the modified flow + state files. AC-4 (glob + date-range derivation) explicitly documents _docs/06_metrics/retro_*.md with cycle_start = modification date of the latest implementation_report_*_cycle{N-1}.md file (with fallback to latest retro_*.md mtime, then to "yesterday").
• AZ-901: 5/5 ACs verified. AC-1 ran end-to-end as the per-task local test step.

Total: 12/13 ACs immediately covered. AZ-899 AC-4 is deferred-by-design (cannot fire until the cumulative-review skill runs).

Code Review Verdict: PASS

Lightweight inline review (per the implement skill's option for low-risk doc-only + small e2e-infra batches). Reasoning:

• Phase 1 (Context): all three task specs read; ACs walked through.
• Phase 2 (Spec Compliance): AC-by-AC walkthrough above; all immediate ACs satisfied.
• Phase 3 (Code Quality): 1 added option in conftest.py, multi-line literal; uses pathlib.Path already imported; help string accurately describes the new default. No new code in AZ-899 / AZ-900.
• Phase 4 (Security): no security surface touched. EVIDENCE_OUT default change does not relax any access control or trust boundary.
• Phase 5 (Performance): no hot path touched.
• Phase 6 (Cross-task consistency): AZ-899 and AZ-900 both reference cycle-3 retro Top-3 items consistently; AZ-900's flow edit and state.md cross-reference both name the same gate ("Previous-Cycle Retro Existence Gate"). No conflicting patterns.
• Phase 7 (Architecture): e2e/runner/conftest.py is owned by blackbox_tests cross-cutting per module-layout.md:440; no src/ code touched; no layer rule changed; no import added.

Tracker Transitions

Ticket	Step 5 (→ In Progress)	Step 12 (→ In Testing)
AZ-899	id 21, status In Progress (10001) confirmed	id 32, status In Testing (10036) confirmed
AZ-900	id 21, status In Progress (10001) confirmed	id 32, status In Testing (10036) confirmed
AZ-901	id 21, status In Progress (10001) confirmed	id 32, status In Testing (10036) confirmed

Both transitions executed via Jira MCP transitionJiraIssue after getTransitionsForJiraIssue discovery (per LESSONS 2026-05-17). Read-back verified the new status in the transition response body.

Leftovers / Tracker hygiene

• Closed: _docs/_process_leftovers/2026-05-26_evidence_out_default_path.md (deleted by AZ-901, AC-5).
• Still open:
  • _docs/_process_leftovers/2026-05-11_d_cross_cve_1_opencv_pin_deferred.md — gtsam numpy-2 wheel still not on PyPI; replay re-checked today; leftover remains open.
  • _docs/_process_leftovers/2026-05-21_az777_complexity_override.md — decision-log audit trail (not a deferred write); AZ-777 already in done/; the file says it can be deleted but is fine to keep as historical record. Not in scope for this batch.

Next Batch

Batch 02 (cycle 4): AZ-894 + AZ-896 — CSV-driven replay adapter + operator-facing format docs / example CSV. 4 SP total; AZ-894 ↔ AZ-896 are co-dependent (either-order soft dep) so they ship together.
