…er viability probe Verdict: REJECT — no directory-watch task-ingestion capability exists in aif-handoff (confirmed via 4 DeepWiki probes + full file-tree search + gh issue/PR search); upstream PR effort ~400-800 LOC; DECISION=C zero-infra hard constraint violated by daemon requirement. §8 stop condition fires. Prior-art: skipped — research-patch markdown only, no capability commit per CLAUDE.md (no new dep, no new file under packages/, LOC count does not apply to docs/)

#269) Mechanical corrections to merged SW-A (#268) + SW-B (#267) research-patches per Phase -1 Stage 1→2 cold-review. No verdict changes — SW-A REFERENCE and SW-B REJECT both unaffected. - B1: SW-B :39, :117 — PR #128 IS merged. Original record used jq camelCase '.mergedAt' which returns null; the actual snake_case '.merged_at' returns 2026-05-26T08:07:12Z (merge SHA 51ce96a). Verified 2026-05-29 via 'gh api repos/lee-to/aif-handoff/pulls/128 --jq .merged_at'. - M1: SW-A :343 — gate-4 evidence said "all are from PR #128" but BOTH PR #127 (e1ffa70, merged 2026-05-15) AND PR #128 (51ce96a, merged 2026-05-26) are in the 30-day window. Both touch packages/runtime/ only. - m1: SW-A :392 — Probe 6 URL hash typo ae7472a9 -> ae7072a9 (aligned to line 119 body-text canonical version; inferred from internal consistency, not externally re-verified due to DeepWiki client-side rendering). - m2: SW-B :210 — overclaim "≥4 distinct phrasings on dir-watch" corrected to actual breakdown: 2 direct + 2 adjacent DeepWiki + 1 file-tree + 1 gh + 3 WebSearch = 9 channels. Multi-channel triangulation noted. - m3: SW-B §0 falsifier (:17) — aligned to §5 specificity ("…and creates tasks via the internal createTask function — re-evaluate as ADAPT with three criteria 1/2/4 re-scored…"). Phase -1 Stage 1→2 cold-review verdict was REVISE; this patch closes B1+M1+m1/m2/m3 dispositions per state.md §3.4. DN-1 and DN-2 remain maintainer-call; SW-C dispatch still blocked on those answers. Prior-art: skipped — mechanical text correction, no capability commit, no new dependency, no new file ≥50 LOC. Per CLAUDE.md capability-commit definition, this is a refactor/typo-fix grade change to existing artifacts.

… Implementer-equivalent only) value-add audit (#276) R-phase patch for Sub-wave C of the aif-handoff-as-runtime-bridge umbrella. Evaluates Variant C (kickoff §3 lines 124-145): aif-handoff as Implementer- equivalent only, bypass Planner+Reviewer cycle, thin CLI wrapper for kickoff dispatch + kanban status tracking. Verdict: REJECT (BFR-default §1 ladder). Rationale: - The kickoff-framed "aif-handoff exec --kickoff <path>" CLI does not exist in lee-to/aif-handoff (DeepWiki probes 1+5, 2026-05-29). - No first-class Implementer-only mode; skipReview:true bypasses Reviewer but Planner is mandatory unless accept_existing_plan with on-disk PLAN.md (same disk coupling SW-A flagged for Variant A). - BEFORE/AFTER maintainer-action count: 25% literal / 0% cognitive reduction (T-AIF-BRIDGE-C table §4) — below kickoff §8 STOP 30% threshold → verdict "Variant C value-add insufficient". - Pure-tracker pattern (paused:true + autoMode:false + manual state-machine transitions) IS shipped but adds zero automation beyond UI tracking; Docker+SQLite infra unjustified. Cites: - SW-A merged PR #268 (Variant A REFERENCE, 28% match, 3 ADOPT-blockers) - SW-B merged PR #267 (Variant B REJECT, ~5% match, no dir-watch capability) - PR #269 follow-up (mechanical corrections, no verdict changes) - DN-1=B-constrained input consumed in criterion 5 (mooted for Variant C which bypasses aif-handoff Reviewer entirely) - Gate-4 admission re-sweep: PR #127+#128 touch packages/runtime/ only (no MCP/coordinator drift in 30-day window) 5 distinct DeepWiki probes + 2 WebSearches + cross-ref to SW-A/SW-B/PR #269 = 19+ evidence channels (T1 floor exceeded 3.8x). §1.7 forward+backward + §self-application + T-trap walk per ai-laziness-traps.md §3. Single output file under docs/meta-factory/research-patches/. No code, skill, agent, install.sh, or .claude/rules/ modifications. ### §1.7 Forward-check applied build-first-reuse-default.md §1 verdict ladder applied; BFR §3 6-layer search performed (SSOT rows #27/#28/#29/#30/#43/#44/#46/#67/#80 reviewed at prior-art-evaluations.md:95-148; DeepWiki >=5 probes; WebSearch >=2 phrasings; own-stack sweep at .claude/skills/meta-orchestrator/SKILL.md:441 anti-scope + :404+:429 SP requesting-code-review). no-paid-llm-in-ci.md §1 enforced (all evidence via subscription-bundled DeepWiki/WebSearch + free gh CLI + bash). reviewer-discipline.md §2 respected (DN-1=B-constrained consumed as fact, not re-litigated; verdict is research finding against §8 STOP, not strategy choice). ai-laziness-traps.md §3 active T-traps applied (T1, T3, T7, T11, T12, T13, T15, T16, T17, T19, T20, T-AIF-BRIDGE-C MANDATORY BEFORE/AFTER table at patch §4). Evidence: see patch §8 file:line citations. ### §1.7 Backward-check applied SSOT #27/#28/#67 receive additive notes (additive-only; no verdict changes). Original DEFER/DEFER/REJECT rationales reviewed at prior-art-evaluations.md: 95, 96, 135 — consistent with Sub-wave C findings (reinforce existing classifications, do not re-litigate). No .claude/rules/* modified; no .claude/skills/* modified; no agents/* modified; no packages/* modified; no install.sh modified; no kickoff.md modified. Single output file in docs/meta-factory/research-patches/. Scope strictly bounded to Variant C; SW-A/SW-B/SW-B2/SW-D out of scope. T15 self-application confirmed in patch §10. Memory not written (Sub-wave D synthesis is the natural codification surface). Evidence: see patch §9 file:line citations.

…verdict (DEFER-all-with-updated-triggers) (#281) Cross-variant synthesis consolidating Sub-waves A/B/B'/C (merged PRs #267/#268/#275/#276). Per-variant verdicts re-derived independently per T15: A=REFERENCE (28%), B=REJECT (~5%), B'=REFERENCE conditional ADOPT VOCABULARY (~35%), C=REJECT (~22%). Cross-variant recommendation per kickoff §6.5: DEFER all variants with updated SSOT «Trigger to revisit» fields. Includes 20-cell comparison table (4 variants × 5 criteria, file:line citation per cell), 4-row T16 problem-class match table, DN-1 (B-constrained) + DN-2 (B' is operative B-path) reflections, hook-discipline (Decision 10) analysis (no equipoise → recommend on clearly-better evidence; DECISION-NEEDED NOT warranted), consolidated SSOT additive notes for #27/#28/#30/#44/#67/#80, proposed new SSOT row #85 (next-after-#84 verified). Prior-art: prior-art-evaluations.md#27, #28, #30, #44, #67, #80 (existing aif-handoff entries, additive-note-only — no verdict changes); SSOT row #85 PROPOSED, not landed.

…DONE (#283) Per umbrella's post-GO directive (Phase -1 Stage 3 close-review GO 2026-05-29 on PR #281 SW-D synthesis), update wave-sequencing-plan.md §0 to reflect umbrella closure: - Row update: stale 🟡 «Sub-wave A + B R-phase done / synthesis pending» → ✅ DONE 2026-05-29 with verdict DEFER ALL. Full per-variant scoring (A REFERENCE 28% / B REJECT ~5% / B' REFERENCE 35% conditional / C REJECT 22%) + 3 ADOPT-blockers shared across A/B'/C + 6 evidence PRs (#267/#268/#269/ #275/#276/#281) + SSOT additive notes status (proposed, not landed). - Renamed row to canonical umbrella name (`aif-handoff-as-runtime-bridge`). - «What actually remains» — remove the umbrella entry; add to deferred-decisions parenthetical at bottom of the line. - Plan revision history — add this PR. No verdict changes to any other §0 row. No edits outside §0. Broader 40+ UNTRACKED PRs in §0 (recordkeeping debt per state.md Decision 2) stay deferred — out of scope for this umbrella's closure per CLAUDE.md PR strategy. Prior-art: skipped — recordkeeping update for completed umbrella, no capability commit, no new dependency, no new file ≥50 LOC. Per CLAUDE.md capability-commit definition, this is a docs-edit grade change.
