Cycle 7 retrospective (cycle-end mode) — three-task pure-quality
cycle (AZ-794 rename + AZ-795 epic shared infra + AZ-796 inventory
validator). PASS gate end-to-end; first cycle to ship a contract
MAJOR bump; second consecutive cycle with zero new process
leftovers; first cycle to run the full 5-phase security audit
since cycle 5.
Top 3 improvement actions for cycle 8:
1. Formalise the implement-skill <-> downstream-skill artifact
contract — cycle 7 shipped without an implementation report
and the doc / test-spec / retrospective skills successfully
fell back to task-spec + commit-body reading, but the
fallback is implicit and should be codified.
2. Sanitize JsonException.Message + BadHttpRequestException.Message
before surfacing them in ValidationProblemDetails.detail —
F-AZ795-1 / F-AZ795-2 in the cycle-7 security audit.
3. AZ-795 child-task sweep across the remaining public endpoints
(request / route / upload / latlon) using AZ-796 as the
reference pattern; 2-3 SP per endpoint, spread across cycles
8-10.
LESSONS.md ring buffer updated with 3 cycle-7 entries (process /
testing / architecture); 3 oldest cycle-2 entries dropped to
maintain the 15-entry buffer.
State pointer advanced to cycle 8 step 9 (New Task) — Re-Entry
After Completion per autodev existing-code flow.

Single-task cycle delivering AZ-505 (3 SP); 1 batch, PASS verdict
after a single auto-fix round (ComputeLocationHash duplication
consolidated into Uuidv5.LocationHashForTile). Step 14 Security
Audit skipped; Step 15 Performance Test PASS (8/8, exit 0) and
closes the cycle-3 perf-harness leftover that carried across
cycles 3-5.
Top 3 lessons appended to LESSONS.md ring buffer:
- Kestrel Http1AndHttp2 requires TLS for ALPN; spec-time decision
- Dapper-bypassing test paths own the Npgsql type contract
- Test fixtures naming specific schema artifacts need migration awareness
Cycle 7 opens at Step 9 (New Task).

Step 15 (Performance Test): 8/8 PT scenarios PASS in a single
default-parameter run (exit 0). Adapts scripts/run-performance-tests.sh
for the new TLS+ALPN dev listener via CURL_OPTS=(--cacert ./certs/api.crt).
Report at _docs/06_metrics/perf_2026-05-12_cycle6.md. The clean exit-0
satisfies the cycle-3 perf-harness leftover deletion criterion that
carried across cycles 3-5; leftover file deleted.
Step 16 (Deploy): _docs/03_implementation/deploy_cycle6.md captures the
shipping payload (inventory endpoint, HTTP/2 TLS+ALPN, tiles_leaflet_path
covering index, migration 015), the dev-cert plumbing for local-docker +
integration-tests parity, the production-TLS topology note (terminate at
ingress; never promote the dev cert), and the operator runbook for
promoting cycle-6 past dev.
NU1902 / CA2227 / ASPDEPR002 / Serilog-10.x re-listed as carry-overs
unchanged; admin-team iss/aud confirmation unchanged.
State advanced to Step 17 (Retrospective).

Adds retro_2026-05-12_cycle4.md, structure_2026-05-12_cycle4.md, and
the deploy_cycle4.md report that was dropped from the Steps 12-15
sync commit. Appends 3 new lessons to LESSONS.md (12/15 ring buffer)
on transitive major-version bumps, exposed pre-existing bugs, and
single-task-cycle metric framing. State advances to cycle 5 / step 9
(awaiting next New Task invocation).

Cycle-3 retrospective:
- 6 tasks (AZ-491..AZ-496), 5 batches, 18 SP delivered.
- 100% code review pass rate (5/5 PASS_WITH_WARNINGS, 0 FAIL).
- 0 Critical/High/Medium review findings; 7 distinct Low.
- Security audit PASS_WITH_WARNINGS: 0 new Medium, 3 Low (all
test-only or operator-CLI), 2 Informational, 1 False Positive.
- Net Architecture delta: **-3** (F-AUTH-2 + D1 + D3 RESOLVED;
only new findings are Low test-side surfaces). First
net-negative cycle on record.
- 5 of 6 tasks completed first attempt (no post-review fix
commits). Cycle-2's 2 prior-retro actions all translated to
closed work (AZ-491 from Action 1, AZ-492 from Action 2,
AZ-493 from Action 3).
Top 3 cycle-4 improvement actions surfaced:
1. Execute the perf harness to capture PT-07/PT-08 baseline.
2. Bump TestSupport JWT pins 7.0.3 → 7.1.2+ (D4 NU1902 cleanup).
3. Add `workspace:` tag to cross-repo ACs in task-spec writing
and render them separately in the traceability matrix.
3 new ring-buffer lessons appended to _docs/LESSONS.md:
- [process] Option-B forcing functions for cross-team blockers.
- [process] ACs prescribing a measurement should also prescribe
the collection path.
- [process] Cross-repo-write ACs need workspace tags.
Structural snapshot at structure_2026-05-12_cycle3.md records the
new SatelliteProvider.TestSupport project (+2 ProjectReference edges
into it; no production-layer dependents) and the AZ-496 package
bumps (8.0.21 → 8.0.25).
Cycle 3 COMPLETE. State advanced to Step 9 (New Task) for cycle 4
per existing-code flow Re-Entry After Completion.

Drains all three deferred perf-harness items in one batch:
- PT-01..PT-06 now carry Authorization: Bearer minted via the canonical
SatelliteProvider.TestSupport.JwtTokenFactory (AZ-491) — no third copy
of JWT logic in the shell.
- PT-07 implemented as cold + warm dual-pass distribution (N=20 each),
reports p50/p95 for both passes and fails if warm p95 >= cold p95.
- PT-08 implemented as 20-batch upload distribution with batch p95 gated
at the AZ-488 2000 ms target; per-item gate cost reported as derived
proxy (batch_p95 / batch_size).
New SatelliteProvider.IntegrationTests/PerfBootstrap.cs adds two CLI
short-circuit subcommands (--mint-only and --gen-uav-fixture <path>)
invoked by the shell so the perf script never inlines the JWT or
JPEG-fixture logic. The dispatch sits at the top of Program.cs Main
and runs before any HTTP / DB / readiness setup.
performance-tests.md PT-07 + PT-08 flip from Deferred to Implemented.
traceability-matrix.md PT-07 + PT-08 rows move from recorded to covered
(PT-08 partial due to per-item proxy — flagged Low in batch-4 review).
_docs/_process_leftovers/2026-05-11_perf-pt07-harness.md deleted; the
leftovers directory is now empty.
Closes cycle-2 retro Action 2; LESSONS.md [process] rule about Deferred
NFRs remains in force as a guardrail.
Also includes the previously-uncommitted cumulative review report for
cycle-3 batches 01-03 (generated at the end of batch 3 but not staged).

AZ-495 (1 SP): formalize the modules-only documentation convention for
the WebApi component. _docs/02_document/module-layout.md now carries an
explicit Documentation Layout section anchoring WebApi docs at
modules/api_program.md; the components/06_web_api/ folder is
intentionally absent. .cursor/skills/new-task/SKILL.md Step 4 directs
future agents at the correct path. Cycle-1 + cycle-2 F1 findings in the
two batch-review files are marked RESOLVED with back-reference to
AZ-495. Cycle-2 retrospective decision-item list F1 updated.
AZ-496 (2 SP): bump Microsoft.AspNetCore.OpenApi and JwtBearer in
SatelliteProvider.Api.csproj from 8.0.21 to 8.0.25, closing CVE-
2026-26130 (SignalR DoS - not reachable in this app, but the runtime
patch is the recommended hardening per cycle-1 D1 + cycle-2 D3).
SatelliteProvider.Tests.csproj has no direct JwtBearer reference - it
consumes JwtBearer transitively via ProjectReference to Api, so no
edit needed there. Dockerfiles use floating mcr.microsoft.com/
dotnet/aspnet:8.0 / sdk:8.0 / runtime:8.0 tags which auto-resolve to
>= 8.0.25 on rebuild. Security artifacts (dependency_scan.md,
security_report.md) and current-state docs (module-layout.md,
architecture.md, modules/api_program.md, modules/tests_unit.md)
updated to reflect 8.0.25.
Batch report + code review report (verdict PASS_WITH_WARNINGS with 2
Low findings, neither blocking) written under _docs/03_implementation.
Test suite gate deferred to Step 16 (Final Test Run) per implement
skill convention. Patch-level bump within .NET 8 LTS; regression risk
very low.

Cycle-2 retrospective covering AZ-487 + AZ-488. Captures six patterns
(duplicate JWT helpers diverged then both broke; pre-existing
test bugs unmasked by downstream test pressure; cycle 1 perf-NFR
action stopped adding scenarios but did not drain backlog; doc-path
F1 carried over twice with no decision; integration test DB
isolation = wallclock workaround; 8 SP friction observable even
with user override). Top-3 improvement actions: consolidate JWT
mint helpers, promote PT-07/PT-08/JWT-attach to real PBI, real
integration DB-reset hook.
LESSONS.md ring buffer now holds 6 entries (testing x3, process x2,
estimation x1).
Structural snapshot: 6 components / 12 PR edges unchanged; contract
coverage 14% -> 29%; new external NuGet edges (JwtBearer 8.0.21 +
ImageSharp 3.1.11) tied to cycle-2 security findings.
Autodev pointer advances to cycle 3 / Step 9 New Task.
