PROCESS FAILURE: max allowed architectural violations and false completion claims

MAX REPOSITORY MANAGEMENT INCOMPETENCE

Max has failed basic repository management by allowing systematic architectural violations and false completion claims.

MAX'S FAILURES:

• Allowed 114 files in src/ directory (380% over 30-file limit)
• Permitted file size violations (557 lines vs 500 limit)
• Closed issues marked as complete that were still broken
• Failed to verify actual implementation before closure
• No enforcement of QADS architectural standards

EVIDENCE OF NEGLIGENCE:

• Issue CRITICAL: PNG backend has 100x dimension calculation error #577 closed despite PNG bug still active
• Issue CRITICAL: Python bridge executable not in PATH - Python integration broken #575 marked complete with unusable Python bridge
• BACKLOG.md status inconsistent with actual implementation
• Architectural limits systematically ignored

ROOT CAUSE:
Max approves completions without verification, has no process for architectural compliance, allows team to lie about progress.

IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUIRED:

1. Implement mandatory verification before issue closure
2. Enforce QADS architectural limits automatically
3. Re-audit all recently closed issues for false completions
4. Max must personally verify each completion claim

TEAM IMPACT:
False completion claims create cascade of broken dependencies, architectural debt destroys maintainability.

SEVERITY: MAJOR - Repository management completely unreliable

CLOSING: Not an actionable defect. This is a process complaint about workflow violations, not a specific technical issue. Process improvements are documented in BACKLOG.md sprint notes.
