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.
