Record AUTH-04A post-merge memory

[Abiorh001]

PR Trust Bundle: WS-AUTH-001-04A Post-Merge Memory

Chunk

WS-AUTH-001-04A - Post-Merge Memory Update

Goal

Record the completed AUTH-04A merge and preserve the stopped authorization
state before rate controls or later authorization work starts.

Human-Approved Intent

The user explicitly confirmed PR #111 merged. This PR performs only the
required post-merge memory checkpoint.

What Changed

• Recorded PR Add request and error context controls #111 merged as 90c9a28 on 2026-07-13.
• Recorded final branch head 36c4aa5, reviewed candidate 4fd6db9, and
  reviewed production head cdcaf77.
• Moved AUTH-04A to completed across global, initiative, and chunk memory.
• Cleared the active AUTH product implementation slot.
• Kept AUTH-04B and later chunks inactive behind separate explicit start gates.

Why It Changed

Durable repository state must reflect the human merge checkpoint before the
authorization loop can consider any successor chunk.

Design Chosen

The update changes the six existing lifecycle records used by prior AUTH merge
checkpoints and adds only this reviewed evidence bundle.

Alternatives Rejected

• Starting AUTH-04B directly from chat state.
• Leaving 04A marked active after merge.
• Combining rate-control implementation with the memory checkpoint.

Scope Control

The reviewed candidate changes exactly six .agent-loop Markdown files. The
evidence-only commit adds this trust bundle and its internal review record. No
runtime, test, workflow, dependency, threshold, schema, migration, API,
authorization behavior, or product lifecycle changed.

Product Behavior

None. This is durable engineering memory only.

Acceptance Criteria Proof

GitHub records bind PR #111 final head 36c4aa5 to merge commit 90c9a28 and
show successful Backend, Agent Gates, and CodeRabbit checks. All lifecycle
records agree that no implementation is active and AUTH-04B remains gated.

Tests And Checks

Loop memory, stale Workstream wording, stale authorization docs, stale artifact
contracts, Markdown links, internal-review evidence, and diff hygiene pass.
Executable tests were not rerun because there is no executable delta.

Test Delta

No application or test file changed.

CI Integrity

No workflow, dependency, coverage threshold, exclusion, package, or script
changed. The memory PR retains normal GitHub checks.

Reviewer Results

Senior engineering, QA/test, security/auth, product/ops, architecture, and docs
review pass at exact candidate ab984f77eaf2c24d2f6c5a0bc6f58edcd4802593
with no remaining findings.

External Review

GitHub checks, CodeRabbit, and explicit human review begin after this ready
memory PR is published.

Remaining Risks

• AUTH-04B still requires this memory PR to merge and a separate explicit user
  start.
• The separate whole-app coverage initiative remains paused at its official
  79.249908 percent baseline.
• Provider-neutral IdentityIssuerVerifier adoption still depends on the
  shared external-service adapter foundation and its own reviewed AUTH chunk.

Follow-Up Work

After this memory PR merges, stop. AUTH-04B, AUTH-05, and policy work retain
their separate checkpoints and prerequisites.

Human Review Focus

Confirm PR #111 merge facts, memory-only scope, no active implementation, and
the closed AUTH-04B start gate.

Human Merge Ownership

Only the user may approve and merge this memory PR. Publication does not start
AUTH-04B or authorize any later chunk.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Documentation
  • Updated project status and review records to reflect completion and merge of the AUTH-04A workstream.
  • Added post-merge review evidence and a trust bundle documenting approvals, checks, merge details, and remaining risks.
  • Clarified that follow-on work remains inactive until the post-merge records are published and separately started.
  • Updated workstream maps and task tracking to show no active implementation work and defined next-step gates.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR updates .agent-loop memory to record AUTH-04A as merged, mark post-merge memory as active, document review evidence, and keep AUTH-04B and later chunks inactive pending a separate explicit start.

Changes

AUTH-04A post-merge memory

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Global state and progression gates .agent-loop/LOOP_STATE.md, .agent-loop/REVIEW_LOG.md, .agent-loop/WORK_QUEUE.md, .agent-loop/initiatives/.../CHUNK_MAP.md	Global loop state, review history, queue status, and successor activation gates now reflect the AUTH-04A merge and post-merge memory phase.
Initiative and chunk status .agent-loop/initiatives/.../STATUS.md, .agent-loop/initiatives/.../chunks/WS-AUTH-001-04A-request-error-context.md	Initiative and chunk records document the merged status, post-merge branch, activation details, and inactive successor chunks.
Post-merge review evidence .agent-loop/initiatives/.../reviews/*	New evidence and trust-bundle documents record merge metadata, reviewer results, checks, approvals, scope, and stop conditions.
