Captures the post-review strategy as six discrete roadmap artifacts in the corpus — durable intent per ADR-093 (roadmap intent lives in the corpus; execution tracked in issues), identified by stable codename per ADR-094. One commit per artifact.

The strategic frame: Proofkeeper's structural advantage in the automated-QA space is that it verifies against a requirements corpus (typed verified_by edges), not a prompt. Each roadmap cashes that in.

Codename One-liner
regression-triage The flagship. Adjudicate a failing verifying test against the requirement text: stale test → repair PR, product regression → evidence report. Agents without a requirements corpus cannot make this distinction.
criteria-scenarios One drive per acceptance criterion (negative paths included); coverage means every stated criterion verified, not "a test exists".
proofkeeper-action One-YAML-block adoption: a published composite action for scoped PR QA, with security docs that make the trust boundary enterprise-approvable.
qa-benchmark Open sample apps + seeded corpora; verified rate / token cost / wall-clock published with deterministic scoring (ADR-066 philosophy). Homed in rac-benchmarks as the autonomousqa/ subdir member per ADR-092 (one repo per concern) — agent-agnostic by construction, Proofkeeper as the reference agent; this repo keeps only the pinned release-gate hook.
visible-cost --max-tokens budget over the now-measured usage, spend in the evidence surfaces, Wayfinder composition over OPENAI_BASE_URL (compose, don't embed).
fidelity-matrix Fidelity attempts across browsers/targets with pass-rate policy and cold runs — "stable" with statistical weight.

Housekeeping items (release cut, #28, branch protection, rac pin cadence) are process actions and deliberately not captured as roadmap artifacts.

Gates

  • rac validate lore-proofkeeper/ — 41/41 valid.
  • rac relationships lore-proofkeeper/ --validate — 62 checked, 0 issues (all Related Roadmaps cross-references resolve).
  • rac review lore-proofkeeper/ — nothing needs attention, health 100/100.
  • Dogfood coverage unchanged at 17/17 (roadmaps are not capabilities).

…ion-triage]

Implements lore-proofkeeper/roadmaps/regression-triage.md.

Adjudicate a failing verifying test against the requirement text:
stale test (repair via human-reviewed PR) vs product regression
(evidence report). The requirements corpus as ground truth is the
capability prompt-driven QA agents cannot copy.

…ia-scenarios]

Implements lore-proofkeeper/roadmaps/criteria-scenarios.md.

Decompose a requirement's acceptance criteria into one drive per
criterion, negative paths included, with criteria-level coverage —
verified means every stated criterion, not one test exists.

…eeper-action]

Implements lore-proofkeeper/roadmaps/proofkeeper-action.md.

One-YAML-block adoption: a published composite action wrapping scoped
QA on pull requests, with security documentation that makes the trust
boundary enterprise-approvable.

Signed-off-by: Tom Ballard <tom@armytage.co>
Implements lore-proofkeeper/roadmaps/qa-benchmark.md.

Open sample apps with seeded corpora; verified-capability rate, token
cost, and wall-clock published with deterministic scoring — the
re-runnable argument behind any competitive claim.

Implements lore-proofkeeper/roadmaps/visible-cost.md.

Budget enforcement over the measured per-drive token usage, spend in
the evidence surfaces, and Wayfinder composition over OPENAI_BASE_URL —
compose, don't embed.

…matrix]

Implements lore-proofkeeper/roadmaps/fidelity-matrix.md.

Distribute fidelity attempts across browsers/targets with pass-rate
policy and cold-condition runs, so stable carries statistical weight.

…map:qa-benchmark]

Implements lore-proofkeeper/roadmaps/qa-benchmark.md.

The harness, sample apps, corpora, and results page live in
itsthelore/rac-benchmarks as the autonomousqa/ subdir member (one repo
per concern, subdir per member — benchmarks are ADR-092's named
example); Proofkeeper's repo keeps only the pinned release-gate hook.
The benchmark is framed agent-agnostic: a property of the corpora,
apps, and deterministic scoring, with Proofkeeper as the reference
agent.
