Autodev cycle 1 retro: 5 batches, 12 tasks, 48 SP delivered. Architecture baseline F4 partial -> resolved (Entities/ + DTOs/Requests/ removed); net architecture delta -1. Zero blockers, zero High/Critical findings, zero auto-fix escalations. Artifacts: - _docs/06_metrics/retro_2026-05-16.md (first retro, no trend yet) - _docs/06_metrics/structure_2026-05-16.md (baseline snapshot) - _docs/LESSONS.md (3 entries: tooling, process, estimation) State: cycle 1 -> cycle 2 boundary; Step 9 (New Task) is next.

[2026-05-16] [tooling] Environment-mismatch test skips need a same-priority "make it green in CI" follow-up ticket logged the moment the skip is introduced; deferring it leaves 12+ tests dormant across cycles and erodes the "all skips are legitimate" claim.

[2026-05-16] [process] When an autodev implement batch contains zero source-code diff (orchestration artifacts only: state file, batch report, task-archive move), the per-batch
/code-reviewinvocation should be waived in-batch with an explicit "PASS (waived — zero net code change)" entry instead of run; the implement skill currently mandates the call unconditionally. Source: _docs/06_metrics/retro_2026-05-16.md -
[2026-05-16] [estimation] 1-SP structural-cleanup tasks (no behavior change, no source diff) auto-chain through the full Phase B (Test-Spec Sync / Update Docs / Security / Perf / Deploy) the same way a 5-SP feature does; consider a "structural-only" task-type marker that the orchestrator can use to short-chain straight to Retrospective.
