Add ui-design workflow for [UI] story component decomposition and API surface review

[redhat-chai-bot]

Re-opening of #128 (closed by history rewrite to fix Co-Authored-By trailers).

Adds a complete ui-design workflow to the agentic SDLC pipeline, sitting between ux-design and ui-implement.

Pipeline Position

prd → design → ux-design → ui-design → ui-implement

What It Does

Takes a [UI] Jira story + optional UX handoff artifact and produces:

1. ui-design.md — component decomposition, hook design, state management, route structure, data flow mapping, persona-aware decomposition, accessibility, testing strategy
2. API findings — gaps between UI data needs and available backend endpoints
3. [DEV] Jira stories for API gaps (via /sync)

Phases

Phase	Command	Description
Ingest	/ui-design:ingest	Load [UI] story, UX handoff, PRD, design doc, explore codebase
Plan	/ui-design:plan	Component decomposition → ui-design.md
Review API	/ui-design:review-api	Deep API surface review → gap findings
Revise	/ui-design:revise	Incorporate feedback
Publish	/ui-design:publish	Push to docs repo, create PR
Respond	/ui-design:respond	Address PR review comments
Sync	/ui-design:sync	Manifest-based [DEV] story sync to Jira

Key Design Decisions

• Uses demand-load phase routing (dispatch.md + completion.md) for token efficiency
• UX handoff is optional — supports purely technical [UI] stories
• API findings live inline in ui-design.md by default; overflow to separate api-findings.md at ~200 lines
• Sync follows design workflow's manifest model (schema v2, content hashes, dry-run first)
• Persona-aware decomposition: shared vs persona-specific components, permission gates, portal targeting

Continuation from PR #128

This PR contains the same ui-design workflow from #128, with all CodeRabbit review feedback addressed across multiple rounds. PR #128 was auto-closed by GitHub when the branch history was rewritten to fix attribution trailers — the rewrite made the branch incompatible. This PR re-opens the work on a rebased branch with clean history.

Summary

• Added the ui-design package with seven commands and workflow skills for ingest, planning, API review, revision, publication, reviewer responses, and synchronization.
• Ingest accepts Jira [UI] stories or non-Jira workspace inputs. It can use optional UX handoff artifacts and produces a sourced UI design document and API-gap findings.
• /sync validates findings and the manifest. It previews Jira changes and requires approval before creating, updating, closing, or reopening [DEV] stories.
• Added guidelines for evidence-based design, accessibility, testing, scope control, and safe publishing and synchronization.
• Updated repository documentation and version metadata for bugfix, design, e2e, implement, prd, sizing, and skills/report-bug. The supplied changes describe these as version-only bumps.

Shared resources and conventions

• Updated _shared/ provenance schemas, recipes, and scripts for ui-design. The changes add workflow and phase tracking, tracked-origin handling, and provenance regression tests.
• Added validation for incomplete Jira issue responses in _shared/scripts/fetch-issue.py.
• Added ui-design /sync to the documented Jira write operations that require explicit approval.

Walkthrough

The pull request adds a seven-phase UI Design workflow for intake, planning, API review, revision, publishing, review responses, and Jira synchronization. It also updates shared provenance support, validates Jira issue responses, and increments versions for several existing skills.

Changes

UI Design workflow

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Provenance and workflow registration _shared/provenance-schema.md, _shared/recipes/*, _shared/scripts/provenance.py, _shared/scripts/test_provenance.py, AGENTS.md, README.md	Adds ui-design provenance mappings and phases. A first plan event now counts as a tracked origin. Adds the workflow to repository documentation and identifies /sync as an approval-required Jira write.
Workflow entry and phase routing ui-design/SKILL.md, ui-design/skills/controller.md, ui-design/skills/dispatch.md, ui-design/skills/completion.md, ui-design/commands/*, ui-design/guidelines.md, ui-design/README.md	Defines workflow entry, phase routing, command dispatch, completion guidance, workflow rules, and installation instructions.
Intake and UI design planning _shared/scripts/fetch-issue.py, ui-design/skills/ingest.md, ui-design/skills/plan.md, ui-design/README.md	Adds Jira and non-Jira intake, context artifact creation, and sourced UI design planning. Jira issue retrieval rejects responses without a non-empty string key and non-empty fields object.
API review and design revision ui-design/skills/review-api.md, ui-design/skills/revise.md	Adds backend API verification, categorized gap findings with stable IDs, and an approval-gated process for revising design artifacts.
Publishing and review responses ui-design/skills/publish.md, ui-design/skills/respond.md	Adds confirmation-gated draft-PR publishing and review-comment responses, with response logging and checks for duplicate or ambiguous posts.
Jira gap synchronization ui-design/commands/sync.md, ui-design/skills/sync.md, ui-design/README.md	Adds guarded Jira synchronization for API gaps, including validation, duplicate checks, dry-run approval, issue create/update/close/reopen actions, and manifest tracking.

Existing skill metadata updates

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Skill versions and report-bug expectations bugfix/SKILL.md, design/SKILL.md, e2e/SKILL.md, implement/SKILL.md, prd/SKILL.md, sizing/SKILL.md, skills/report-bug/SKILL.md, skills/report-bug/scripts/test_render_issue.py	Increments existing skill versions and updates report-bug provenance test expectations to version 0.1.1.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Change: Feature

Suggested labels: workflow-structure, new-workflow, shared-resources, scripts

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to c7838

The new UI design workflow is mostly documentation-driven, but a few instructions should be fixed before merge. Untrusted configuration values can be run as shell code, and a stored path can direct file copies outside the docs repository. Jira ingestion can fail or omit parent and linked-issue context. Jira stories can also keep outdated design references after sync.

Full details: No-Absolute-Paths-In-Skills

Explanation

ui-design/skills/publish.md:74 adds the literal absolute path /dev/null in 2>/dev/null. The path is inside an operational Bash command, not an exempt example. The separate /home/user/... value is an exempt placeholder-user example.

Full details: Step-Sequencing

Explanation

The changed skill files have sequential main-step numbers and no skill exceeds 10 main steps, but ui-design/skills/ingest.md and ui-design/skills/respond.md use non-conditional numbered substeps. In ingest.md, 5.1–5.4 (lines 173–210) and 7.1–7.2 (lines 232–264) are sequential loading and exploration tasks, not conditional branches. In respond.md, 6a–6e (lines 231–357) are sequential response-processing tasks; only part of 6b is conditional. These substeps violate the requirement that substeps represent conditional branches. The review-api 3a–3c and sync 4a–4c groups are conditional work categories and do not present the same issue.

Resolution

Restructure the non-conditional substeps. In ingest.md, fold 5.1–5.4 into the Step 5 procedure and 7.1–7.2 into the Step 7 procedure, or promote them while renumbering all later steps and keeping the skill at 10 or fewer main steps. In respond.md, fold 6a–6e into Step 6 as an ordered procedure, or promote and renumber the later steps while keeping the skill at 10 or fewer main steps. Recheck that every remaining main-step sequence has no gaps or duplicates.

only still-valid issues, skip the rest with a brief reason, keep changes
minimal, and validate.

Inline comments:
In `@_shared/provenance-schema.md`:
- Line 82: Align the phase vocabulary across both contracts: at
_shared/provenance-schema.md:82, either add review-api when it is a valid event
or document its exclusion, and define the provenance_kind behavior for plan-only
logs; at _shared/recipes/capture-provenance-event.md:16, remove review-api
unless the schema explicitly supports it. Ensure field names and types remain
identical between producer and consumer.

In `@_shared/scripts/fetch-issue.py`:
- Line 294: Update the response-key validation around data.get("key") to require
a non-empty string, rejecting truthy non-string values before constructing
result["key"].

In `@ui-design/guidelines.md`:
- Line 60: Update the artifact storage path contract in the workflow guidelines
to use {workspace-id} instead of {issue-key}, matching the identifier defined by
ui-design/skills/controller.md for both Jira and non-Jira inputs.

In `@ui-design/README.md`:
- Around line 136-149: Update the Artifacts section to use {workspace-id}
consistently in the artifact-directory path and example, replacing {issue-key}
while preserving the documented artifact filenames and structure.

In `@ui-design/SKILL.md`:
- Around line 4-9: Update the frontmatter description for the UI design workflow
to describe the UX handoff artifact as optional, while preserving the existing
workflow wording and activation commands.

In `@ui-design/skills/01-ingest.md`:
- Around line 58-70: Update the Jira workspace-ID extraction in the ingest
workflow to reject missing values and validate them with the same 3–50 character
alphanumeric, hyphen, and underscore allow-list used for non-Jira inputs. Quote
the validated workspace-id in every shell command that uses it, including mkdir,
fetch-issue.py, and find.

In `@ui-design/skills/02-plan.md`:
- Around line 117-125: Update the template-wide guidance covering the
component-tree, device-health, and fleet-pagination examples to mark all example
values as non-copyable, source-backed placeholders. Require agents to replace
every placeholder with verified source-derived values before saving the plan,
preventing unsupported architecture or API findings.

In `@ui-design/skills/03-review-api.md`:
- Around line 161-168: Update the Gap ID derivation and `/review-api` flow to
preserve an existing producer-owned `gap_id` when `data_element` or
`endpoint_or_na` is corrected, rather than recomputing it from changed mapping
values. Ensure the stable ID remains embedded in every gap row and detail block
and continues to be reused by `/sync` for matching.

In `@ui-design/skills/05-publish.md`:
- Line 23: Clarify the publish rule near “No modification of content during
publish” to explicitly allow the provenance footer rendered in Step 8 as the
sole publish-time metadata change; keep all other artifact content copied
unchanged.
- Line 113: Use {workspace-id} consistently throughout this publish phase,
replacing every {issue-key} reference in directory searches, artifact paths, and
branch values. Update the target search to match only directories named with
{workspace-id}, preserving the controller’s single workflow identifier.
- Around line 263-264: Reduce the publish phase to ten numbered main steps by
merging “Step 11: Report to User” into Step 10 or the completion guidance in the
publish instructions. Update any references affected by the renumbering while
preserving the reporting behavior.
- Around line 231-248: The publish workflow around gh pr create must populate
publish-metadata.json with actual PR data: query the created PR for its numeric
number, URL, and head SHA, set published_at to the current UTC ISO timestamp,
and preserve typed values for pr_number and cross_repository. Write this output
directly rather than using the shared save-metadata subcommand, while retaining
the existing branch, repository, target directory, and files metadata.

In `@ui-design/skills/06-respond.md`:
- Around line 81-85: Update the GraphQL query’s reviewThreads and nested
comments connections to paginate through all pages using cursors, preserving
complete thread grouping and resolution metadata; alternatively, make the
already-paginated REST results authoritative for comment discovery rather than
relying on the limited GraphQL results.
- Around line 304-316: Remove the duplicate Thread ID field from the response
log template and use root comment ID consistently in the related instructions.
Retain comments.nodes.databaseId and the root_comment_id resolved in Step 6b for
REST replies and retry lookup; do not add reviewThreads.nodes.id unless separate
thread metadata is required.
- Around line 27-34: Update all artifact path references in the /respond
workflow of 06-respond.md to use {workspace-id} instead of {issue-key},
including publish metadata, design files, response logs, cleanup, and provenance
paths. Preserve the existing workflow behavior while ensuring non-Jira runs
resolve artifacts from the workspace-id directory.

In `@ui-design/skills/07-sync.md`:
- Around line 94-115: Update the canonical content_hash payload to include the
trimmed gap title alongside the existing rendered fields, ensuring title-only
edits change the hash. Reuse that same trimmed title when deriving the Jira
summary formatted as “[DEV] {gap title}”, while preserving sorted-key
serialization and SHA-256 hashing.
- Around line 224-240: The /sync workflow must stop before Step 1 when the
workspace is not Jira-backed, rather than proceeding with the “N/A (local
workspace)” parent sentinel. Add an early non-Jira workspace guard to the sync
flow that returns a clear message and preserves the existing Jira configuration
path for Jira workspaces.

Cross-Workflow Data-Flow Analysis: Finding F06 (MEDIUM Severity)

Source: Cross-analysis verification of inter-workflow data flow, verified against current PR revision.

---

Internal cross-references to 03-api-findings.md break after publish

Severity: MEDIUM — Published documents may contain dead links to the overflow API findings file.

Problem:
The /publish phase (Step 8 in ui-design/skills/publish.md) renames the overflow API findings file during copy:

03-api-findings.md  →  api-findings-{workspace-id}.md

However, the main UI design document (02-ui-design.md, published as ui-design-{workspace-id}.md) may contain Markdown links or references that point to 03-api-findings.md — the private artifact name. After publishing, these references become dead links because the file in the docs repo is named api-findings-{workspace-id}.md, not 03-api-findings.md.

The same issue applies in the reverse direction: if 03-api-findings.md contains references back to 02-ui-design.md, those would also break (the published name is ui-design-{workspace-id}.md).

Affected location: ui-design/skills/publish.md, Step 8 (Copy and Commit), after the cp commands.

Required change:
After copying the files to the docs repo in Step 8, add a text replacement step that updates internal cross-references within the published files:

1. In the published ui-design-{workspace-id}.md, replace all occurrences of 03-api-findings.md with api-findings-{workspace-id}.md.
2. In the published api-findings-{workspace-id}.md (if it exists), replace all occurrences of 02-ui-design.md with ui-design-{workspace-id}.md.

Example implementation (after the cp commands, before git add):

# Update cross-references in published files
sed -i "s|03-api-findings\.md|api-findings-{workspace-id}.md|g" "{target_directory}/ui-design-{workspace-id}.md"
if [ -f "{target_directory}/api-findings-{workspace-id}.md" ]; then
  sed -i "s|02-ui-design\.md|ui-design-{workspace-id}.md|g" "{target_directory}/api-findings-{workspace-id}.md"
fi

Rationale: Published documents in the docs repo should be self-consistent. A reader following a link from the UI design document to the API findings should land on the correct file. The private artifact names (02-ui-design.md, 03-api-findings.md) are internal to the .artifacts/ directory and should not appear in published docs-repo content.

F06: Add cross-reference update step in publish.md

Fixed in commit 448571c. When /publish copies artifacts to the docs repo, filenames change (02-ui-design.md → ui-design-{workspace-id}.md, 03-api-findings.md → api-findings-{workspace-id}.md). Internal cross-references between these files become stale after the rename.

Added sed commands in Step 8 after the file copies and provenance footer, before git add:

• In ui-design-{workspace-id}.md: replaces 03-api-findings.md with api-findings-{workspace-id}.md
• In api-findings-{workspace-id}.md (if it was copied): replaces 02-ui-design.md with ui-design-{workspace-id}.md

F05 (HIGH): Sync early exit fires before tracked-gap lifecycle classification

Problem:
In ui-design/skills/sync.md, the "nothing to do" early exit (around line 326) fires BEFORE the tracked-gap lifecycle classification step (lines 410–420). If a sole tracked gap (low severity, not synced to Jira) gets its severity raised to medium/high/critical between sync runs, it fits no initial diff bucket (it's not "new" because it's already in the manifest, and it's not "changed" because the hash check only runs on active items). The early exit fires, and the promotion from tracked→active never happens.

Required change: Move the tracked-gap lifecycle reclassification (promotion from tracked→active when severity increases to medium+, removal when gaps are no longer in api-findings) to BEFORE the "nothing to do" early exit check. After reclassification, promoted gaps should be counted as "new" (need Jira story creation), ensuring the early exit does not fire when there is promotion work to do.

---

F07 (HIGH): Git publish can commit pre-existing staged work

Problem:
In ui-design/skills/publish.md, git checkout -b "{BRANCH_NAME}" "{UPSTREAM_REMOTE}/{base_branch}" does NOT reset the index. Non-conflicting staged changes from prior work in the docs repo survive the checkout and get included in the subsequent git commit. This was verified with a probe: stage an unrelated file, checkout a fresh branch, git add only the intended file, commit — the commit includes BOTH files.

Affected location: ui-design/skills/publish.md, Step 7 (Prepare the Branch), before the checkout.

Required change: Add an index isolation step before the checkout:

# Ensure clean index before creating the publish branch
if [ -n "$(git -C "{docs_repo_path}" status --porcelain)" ]; then
  git -C "{docs_repo_path}" stash --include-untracked
fi

Or alternatively, after checkout and before the targeted git add, reset the index:

git -C "{docs_repo_path}" reset HEAD

This ensures only the intended files are committed.

---

F03 (HIGH): Relative docs_repo_path from ux-design not normalized

Problem:
The ux-design workflow (PR #108) may persist docs_repo_path as a relative path (e.g., ../planning-docs) in its configuration. ui-design/skills/ingest.md reads this path and uses it directly. Shell home expansion (~) does not normalize relative paths — ../planning-docs resolved from a different CWD produces a wrong path.

Affected location: ui-design/skills/ingest.md, where docs_repo_path is loaded from configuration.

Required change: After loading docs_repo_path from configuration in the ingest phase, normalize it to an absolute path:

DOCS_REPO_PATH="$(cd "{docs_repo_path}" && pwd)"

This resolves any relative path to absolute regardless of how it was persisted upstream.

---

F04 (PARTIAL — needs completion): Design Reference derivation produces section-only, not filename

Problem:
The Design Reference template in sync.md now hints at the story-scoped filename ({component section in ui-design-{workspace-id}.md}). However, the actual derivation logic at lines 544–550 produces section-only references like §Component Architecture > HealthBadge — without the filename prefix. PR #137's implement/ingest tries to extract the UI design document filename from the UI Design section field and gets a section path with no filename.

Affected location: ui-design/skills/sync.md, lines 544–550 (Design Reference derivation).

Required change: Update the derivation logic to prepend the published filename to the section reference. The output should be in the form:

ui-design-{workspace-id}.md#§Component Architecture > HealthBadge

or:

{component section reference in ui-design-{workspace-id}.md}

where ui-design-{workspace-id}.md is the actual story-scoped filename, not a template variable. The downstream consumer (#137 implement/ingest) parses this field to locate the correct file.

---

F06 (PARTIAL — needs completion): /respond recopies without cross-reference rewrite

Problem:
The sed rewrite fix in publish.md Step 8 correctly updates cross-references on initial publication (03-api-findings.md → api-findings-{workspace-id}.md). However, ui-design/skills/respond.md recopies the private artifact files to the docs repo branch when posting reviewer responses — and does NOT apply the same sed rewrite. This restores the broken 03-api-findings.md link in the published document.

Affected location: ui-design/skills/respond.md, wherever files are copied to the docs repo branch.

Required change: Apply the same cross-reference rewrite from publish.md Step 8 after every file copy in respond.md:

sed -i '' "s/03-api-findings\.md/api-findings-{workspace-id}.md/g" "{target_directory}/ui-design-{workspace-id}.md"
if [ -f "{target_directory}/api-findings-{workspace-id}.md" ]; then
  sed -i '' "s/02-ui-design\.md/ui-design-{workspace-id}.md/g" "{target_directory}/api-findings-{workspace-id}.md"
fi

Note: use sed -i '' (with empty string argument) for BSD/macOS portability — see N01 below.

---

F10 (MEDIUM): Hash excludes Design Reference fields — changes won't trigger sync

Problem:
Lines 536–538 in sync.md explicitly state that Design Reference fields "are not included in the content_hash computation." If PRD requirement IDs or section references change between syncs (e.g., a design revision renumbers requirements), the hash won't change, and sync will report "in sync" even though the Jira story's Design Reference is stale.

Affected location: ui-design/skills/sync.md, hash computation (around lines 530–540).

Required change: Include Design Reference fields (prd_requirements, ui_design_section) in the content_hash computation. These are stable references that should trigger an update when the upstream design changes.

---

F09 (MEDIUM): Post-publish revise has no update path

Problem:
After /publish creates a docs-repo PR, if the author runs /revise to update the UI design, the local artifacts are updated but the docs-repo PR is not. Re-running /publish fails because the branch already exists. The /respond phase only handles reviewer comments, not author-initiated revisions.

Affected location: ui-design/skills/publish.md and/or revise.md.

Required change: In publish.md, handle the case where the branch already exists:

• If the branch exists, check it out (don't create a new one)
• Copy the updated artifacts over the existing files
• Amend the existing commit or create a new one
• Force-push to update the existing PR

Alternatively, add a step in revise.md that detects an existing publish-metadata.json and pushes updates directly.

---

X01 (NEW — MEDIUM): Failed dependency links never reconciled

Problem:
When /sync creates a [DEV] story and the subsequent "blocks" link creation fails (Jira API error, timeout), the manifest records the story as successfully created, but the link is missing. On the next sync run, the manifest shows the story as "in sync" — the failed link is never retried.

Affected location: ui-design/skills/sync.md, link creation and manifest update logic.

Required change: Track link creation status separately in the manifest (e.g., "blocks_link": "created" vs "blocks_link": "failed"). On subsequent syncs, retry failed links before the "nothing to do" check. A story with a failed link should not be considered "in sync."

---

N01 (NEW — portability): sed -i not portable

Problem:
The cross-reference rewrite in publish.md uses bare sed -i (GNU syntax). On macOS/BSD, sed -i requires an empty string argument: sed -i ''. Without it, sed treats the next argument as a backup suffix and the command fails or produces unexpected results.

Affected locations: ui-design/skills/publish.md Step 8, and respond.md (after F06 fix above).

Required change: Use sed -i '' in all sed in-place edit commands:

sed -i '' 's/03-api-findings\.md/api-findings-{workspace-id}.md/g' "{target_directory}/ui-design-{workspace-id}.md"

Or use a portable alternative:

tmp=$(mktemp)
sed 's/03-api-findings\.md/api-findings-{workspace-id}.md/g' "{file}" > "$tmp" && mv "$tmp" "{file}"

Cross-Workflow Adjudication: Final Fixes — F04 and F10

Source: Counter-review adjudication, validated against current PR revision. These are the last two unresolved findings.

F04 (MEDIUM — completion): Design Reference derivation must include the published filename

Problem:
The Design Reference template in sync.md correctly shows the expected format: {component section reference in ui-design-{workspace-id}.md}. However, the normative derivation logic (around lines 544–550) still produces section-only references like:

§Component Architecture > HealthBadge

The downstream consumer (PR #137's implement/skills/ingest.md) parses the UI Design section field to extract the filename matching ui-design-*.md. With section-only output, it finds no filename and falls back to a directory search.

Affected location: ui-design/skills/sync.md, the derivation logic that populates the UI Design section field in the Design Reference (around lines 544–550).

Required change:
Update the derivation to append the published filename to the section reference. Change the output format from:

§Component Architecture > HealthBadge

to:

§Component Architecture > HealthBadge in ui-design-{workspace-id}.md

where {workspace-id} is replaced with the actual story key (e.g., EDM-1234). The workspace-id is already available at derivation time — it is the [UI] story's issue key.

Rationale: This eliminates the need for downstream consumers to fall back to directory-pattern search. The Design Reference becomes a self-contained pointer: section path + filename in one field.

---

F10 (MEDIUM): Add Design Reference fields to the content hash

Problem:
The content hash computation in sync.md explicitly excludes Design Reference fields (lines 536–538 state they "are not included in the content_hash computation"). The current hash covers: {affected_components, category, current_state, pr_url, severity, suggested_approach, title, ui_need, whats_missing}.

This means if a design revision changes the PRD requirement mappings (e.g., renumbers FR-3 to FR-7) or the component section reference changes (e.g., component renamed from HealthBadge to StatusIndicator), the hash won't change. Sync will report "in sync" even though the Jira story's Design Reference is stale.

Affected location: ui-design/skills/sync.md, the content hash computation (around lines 530–540) and the exclusion note at lines 536–538.

Required changes:

1. Remove the exclusion note at lines 536–538 that states Design Reference fields are not included.

2. Add prd_requirements and ui_design_section to the hash input field list. The updated list should be:

{affected_components, category, current_state, prd_requirements,
 pr_url, severity, suggested_approach, title, ui_design_section,
 ui_need, whats_missing}

Rationale: These fields are stable references that should trigger a Jira update when the upstream design changes. The cost is minimal (two more strings in a SHA-256 input), and it prevents silent staleness in the Design Reference.

Source: Counter-review adjudication. These are the remaining accepted findings that have not yet been addressed.

---

F02 (HIGH — completion): Ingest script path uses CWD-relative resolution

Problem:
ui-design/skills/ingest.md uses ../../_shared/scripts/fetch-issue.py which resolves relative to the shell's CWD or dirname "$0" (which in agent-executed context resolves to the bash launcher, not the markdown file). The publish phase correctly uses absolute paths (${HOME}/.ai-workflows/_shared/scripts/...).

Affected location: ui-design/skills/ingest.md, all references to ../../_shared/scripts/.

Required change: Replace relative script paths with absolute paths using the same pattern as publish:

# Instead of:
python3 "../../_shared/scripts/fetch-issue.py" get "{workspace-id}" ...

# Use:
python3 "${HOME}/.ai-workflows/_shared/scripts/fetch-issue.py" get "{workspace-id}" ...

Apply to all ../../_shared/scripts/ and ../../_shared/recipes/ references in ingest.md (and any other phase files that use relative paths).

---

N05 (MEDIUM): Handoff freshness gate doesn't enforce readiness

Problem:
When ui-design/ingest loads the UX handoff document, it checks for the file's existence but does not validate that the handoff is in a ready/complete state. A partially-written or draft handoff (e.g., ux-design ran /handoff but the user hasn't reviewed or approved it) could be consumed as if it were final.

Affected location: ui-design/skills/ingest.md, the handoff loading step.

Required change: After locating the handoff file, check for a completeness indicator. Options:

1. Check for a provenance footer (present only after /publish finalizes the document)
2. Check for a status: ready or status: published field in the handoff metadata
3. If no readiness indicator is found, warn the user: "The UX handoff document exists but may not be finalized. Proceed with caution — the UX design may still be in progress."

---

N07 (MEDIUM): UI Impact and Affected Components lack canonical representation

Problem:
The gap properties ui_need (UI Impact) and affected_components (Affected Components) are free-text strings with no canonical format. Different sync runs or different gaps may format them inconsistently (e.g., "Button component" vs "components/Button" vs "Button"). This makes downstream comparison, deduplication, and hash-based change detection unreliable.

Affected location: ui-design/skills/sync.md, gap property derivation; ui-design/skills/review-api.md, gap discovery.

Required change: Define a canonical format for these fields and normalize them during derivation. For example:

• affected_components: comma-separated PascalCase component names matching the Component Architecture section headings (e.g., HealthBadge, DeviceList)
• ui_need: one of a defined set of categories (e.g., loading-state, error-handling, data-display, form-input, navigation) or free-text with a category prefix

Document the canonical format in sync.md near the hash field definitions so it's clear what format the hash expects.

---

N08 (MEDIUM): Closed+resolved gap story has no explicit lifecycle rule

Problem:
When a [DEV] gap story is both closed AND resolved in Jira (status = Closed, resolution = Done), sync.md has no explicit rule for how to handle it. The "to close" bucket catches stories that are no longer in api-findings, and the "changed" bucket catches content changes, but a story that is resolved upstream (backend work complete) has no explicit state transition in the sync lifecycle.

Affected location: ui-design/skills/sync.md, the manifest lifecycle state machine.

Required change: Add an explicit lifecycle rule for resolved/closed stories:

• When a manifest entry's Jira story has status = Closed or resolution = Done, mark the manifest entry as synced_status: "resolved".
• Resolved entries should be excluded from future sync diffs (they are done — no further updates needed).
• If a resolved story's gap reappears in a later api-findings (regression), reclassify it as "new" to create a fresh story.

---

N09 (MEDIUM): Overflow→inline transition doesn't retire old findings artifact

Problem:
When api-findings initially overflow into a separate api-findings-{workspace-id}.md file (published to docs repo), and a subsequent sync reduces the findings count so they fit inline in the main ui-design document, the separate api-findings-{workspace-id}.md file is not deleted from the docs repo. It becomes stale and potentially misleading — readers see both the inline findings (current) and the separate file (outdated).

Affected location: ui-design/skills/publish.md and/or respond.md, the file copy step.

Required change: In the publish/respond copy step, after determining whether findings fit inline:

• If findings now fit inline AND api-findings-{workspace-id}.md exists in the docs repo, delete it:

  git -C "{docs_repo_path}" rm "{target_directory}/api-findings-{workspace-id}.md" 2>/dev/null || true

• Include this deletion in the same commit as the updated ui-design-{workspace-id}.md.

---

N10 (MEDIUM — completion): Grandparent Feature fetch is not recursive

Problem:
ui-design/skills/ingest.md uses --parent --parent-fields summary,status,key,parent which fetches the story's immediate parent. When the hierarchy is Story→Epic→Feature (3 levels), the fetch returns the Epic as parent but does not chase to the Feature grandparent. The Feature key is needed for docs-repo directory resolution (features/{FEATURE-KEY}/).

Affected location: ui-design/skills/ingest.md, the Jira fetch command; potentially _shared/scripts/fetch-issue.py.

Required change: After the initial fetch, if the parent's parent field is present (indicating a grandparent exists), make a second fetch to retrieve the grandparent:

If the fetched parent has a `parent` field (e.g., the parent is an
Epic whose parent is a Feature):
1. Extract the grandparent key from the parent's `parent` field.
2. Fetch the grandparent issue to get its key and summary.
3. Use the grandparent (Feature) key for docs-repo directory resolution.

If the parent is already a Feature (no grandparent), use it directly.

Alternatively, modify fetch-issue.py to support a --depth 2 or --recursive-parent flag that chases the parent chain to a configurable depth.

Fresh Review Response: Findings for PR #131 (ui-design)

Source: Fresh review against current PR head 27ac2fb with 2,242 test executions.

This addresses 4 new regressions introduced by our fix commits, 1 worsened finding, and 6 partially-fixed/still-open findings.

---

X02 (HIGH — NEW REGRESSION): Republish hard-resets branch, destroying reviewer corrections

Problem:
The F09 branch-exists fix introduced a git reset --hard {UPSTREAM}/{base} on the existing branch before re-publishing. This wipes any reviewer corrections, supplemental documents, or other commits that were added directly to the docs-repo PR branch. The intent was to update the branch, not nuke it.

Affected location: ui-design/skills/publish.md, the branch-exists handling path.

Required change: Replace the hard-reset approach with an incremental update:

1. Checkout the existing branch (not checkout -b, just checkout)
2. Copy the updated artifacts over the existing files (overwrite, don't reset)
3. Run the cross-reference sed rewrites
4. git add the specific changed files
5. Commit with a message like "Update ui-design artifacts (re-publish)"
6. Push (regular push, not force-push, unless there's a rebase conflict)

Do NOT git reset --hard or git checkout -B (which also resets). The existing branch content is the base; the new artifacts are layered on top.

---

X03 (HIGH — NEW REGRESSION): Strict PASS parser rejects the template's own HTML comment

Problem:
The publish gate requires the first non-empty line after ## Result to be exactly PASS. But the review template itself includes an HTML comment (<!-- ... -->) between ## Result and the PASS line. The parser rejects valid, successful reports from its own template.

Affected location: ui-design/skills/publish.md, the result-parsing logic.

Required change: Either:

1. Preferred: Update the parser to skip HTML comment lines (<!-- ... -->) when looking for the PASS/FAIL verdict after ## Result. This is robust against template variations.
2. Alternative: Remove the HTML comment from the template so PASS is the first non-empty line after ## Result.

Option 1 is preferred because it's defensive — other phases may also use HTML comments in templates.

---

X05 (MEDIUM — NEW REGRESSION): Provenance marker mismatch in handoff freshness check

Problem:
The N05 handoff freshness check (added by our fix) searches for <!-- provenance: to detect finalized handoffs. But the actual UX formatter produces <!-- ai-workflow-provenance:{...} -->. The marker string doesn't match, so valid finalized handoffs are flagged as missing provenance.

Affected location: ui-design/skills/ingest.md, the handoff provenance check.

Required change: Change the marker search from:

<!-- provenance:

to:

<!-- ai-workflow-provenance:

This matches the actual output format of the UX workflow's provenance renderer.

---

N01 (HIGH — WORSENED): sed -i portability swapped platforms

Problem:
Our N01 fix changed sed -i (GNU-only, works on Linux) to sed -i '' (BSD-only, works on macOS). This doesn't fix portability — it just moves the failure from macOS to Linux.

Affected locations: All sed -i '' commands in publish.md and respond.md.

Required change: Replace all sed -i '' commands with a genuinely portable pattern using a temp file:

tmp=$(mktemp)
sed 's/03-api-findings\.md/api-findings-{workspace-id}.md/g' "{file}" > "$tmp" && mv "$tmp" "{file}"

Apply this pattern to every in-place sed edit in publish.md and respond.md. The mktemp + mv approach works on both GNU/Linux and BSD/macOS.

---

F09 (MEDIUM — STILL OPEN): Post-publish revise route

Problem:
F09 is entangled with X02. The current branch-exists handling hard-resets, which is X02's regression. Once X02 is fixed (incremental update instead of hard-reset), F09 should be resolved as a side effect — the same incremental-update path handles both first-publish and re-publish.

ACTION: Fix X02 first. Then verify F09 is resolved.

---

N05 (MEDIUM — STILL OPEN): Handoff freshness gate

Problem:
N05 is entangled with X05. The freshness check exists but uses the wrong marker. Once X05 is fixed (correct marker string), N05 should be resolved.

ACTION: Fix X05 first. Then verify N05 is resolved.

---

N08 (MEDIUM — STILL OPEN): Resolved lifecycle conflicts with duplicate guard

Problem:
The resolved lifecycle rule (Closed/Done → synced_status: "resolved", excluded from diffs, reappearance creates new story) conflicts with the duplicate detection guard. When a resolved gap reappears, the duplicate guard sees the existing manifest entry and flags it as a duplicate, preventing the "create new story" path from executing.

Affected location: ui-design/skills/sync.md, the duplicate detection logic and the resolved entry handling.

Required change: In the duplicate detection logic, exclude entries with synced_status: "resolved" from the duplicate check. A resolved entry is explicitly "done" — a reappearance of the same gap is intentionally treated as a new occurrence, not a duplicate.

---

N07 (MEDIUM — PARTIALLY FIXED): Table representation still not canonical

Problem:
Detail-level normalization is done (PascalCase components, category-prefixed ui_need), but the table representation (how these fields appear in the Jira issue description's structured table) is not normalized. Different sync runs may format the table rows differently even when the underlying data is the same.

Affected location: ui-design/skills/sync.md, the Jira description template rendering.

Required change: Define a canonical table format in the description template. Ensure the table renderer always produces the same output for the same input — consistent column order, consistent cell formatting, no trailing whitespace differences.

---

N09 (MEDIUM — PARTIALLY FIXED): Private overflow not retired

Problem:
The published overflow file (api-findings-{workspace-id}.md) is now correctly retired from the docs repo with git rm when findings shrink to inline. But the private overflow file (.artifacts/ui-design/{workspace-id}/03-api-findings.md) is not cleaned up. It lingers in the artifacts directory and may be picked up by a subsequent publish run.

Affected location: ui-design/skills/publish.md and respond.md, after determining findings fit inline.

Required change: When findings shrink to inline, also remove the private overflow file:

rm -f ".artifacts/ui-design/{workspace-id}/03-api-findings.md"

---

N10 (MEDIUM — PARTIALLY FIXED): Grandparent fetch only works with embedded parent.parent

Problem:
The grandparent fetch (second API call) only works when the parent.parent field is present in the first response. Some Jira configurations return parent as a bare key (issue key string) without a nested parent field, requiring a separate lookup.

Affected location: ui-design/skills/ingest.md, the grandparent resolution logic.

Required change: After the first fetch, if the parent is not a Feature:

1. Check if parent.parent is present as a nested object — use it directly if so.
2. If parent is a bare key string (no nested fields), make a second API call to fetch that parent issue to get ITS parent.
3. If the second-level parent is a Feature, use its key.

This handles both embedded and bare-key parent representations.

---

X01 (MEDIUM — PARTIALLY FIXED): Adoption/recovery paths not covered

Problem:
New-creation failure retry works (blocks_link tracking + pass 4d). But two other failure paths aren't handled:

1. Adoption: When sync finds an existing Jira story that matches the gap (same title, same parent), it should adopt it rather than creating a duplicate. Adoption failure isn't tracked or retried.
2. Recovery: When a link creation fails mid-recovery (story exists but link doesn't), the manifest entry shows blocks_link: "failed" but the recovery path doesn't know the story already exists — it may try to create it again.

Affected location: ui-design/skills/sync.md, the adoption logic and recovery path.

Required change:

1. Track adoption status in the manifest alongside blocks_link (e.g., adopted: true/false).
2. In the recovery path, check if the story already exists (by key in manifest) before attempting creation.
3. Retry adoption failures in the same pass 4d reconciliation loop.

Holistic UX/UI Workflow Review — PR #131 (ui-design)

Methodology: Two independent reviewer agents (Claude Opus 5 at max effort, GPT-6 Astra at max effort) performed a holistic review of PRs #108, #131, #138, #137 as a system. Findings below are the aggregated and deduplicated results relevant to this PR. This PR had the most findings of the four, reflecting ui-design's central role and complexity.

---

🔴 Critical

C1 — gap_id and content_hash depend on agent-computed SHA-256
/sync requires the agent to compute SHA-256("{category}|{data_element}|{endpoint}") for gap_id and SHA-256(JSON.stringify(story_fields)) for content_hash. No script or utility is provided — the agent must do this "by hand." SHA-256 output is not deterministic across different agent runs/implementations, so gap_id values will drift, causing duplicate [DEV] stories and breaking idempotent sync.

• File: ui-design/skills/review-api.md (Step 3), ui-design/skills/sync.md (Step 3)
• Recommendation: Ship a helper script (like provenance.py) that computes gap_id and content_hash deterministically.
• Reviewer: Opus (B7)

C2 — Absolute ${HOME}/.ai-workflows/ paths in 10+ places
ui-design references shared recipes and scripts via ${HOME}/.ai-workflows/_shared/… in at least 10 locations. The main branch uses this pattern 0 times out of 58 shared-resource references — it always uses relative paths. This violates the repo's own AGENTS.md "relative paths only" rule and breaks project-scope installations.

• Files: ui-design/skills/ingest.md, ui-design/skills/plan.md, ui-design/skills/review-api.md, ui-design/skills/sync.md, ui-design/skills/publish.md, ui-design/skills/respond.md, ui-design/skills/revise.md, and others
• Recommendation: Replace all ${HOME}/.ai-workflows/ with relative ../../_shared/ paths to match the convention on main.
• Reviewer: Opus (A1)

C3 — Provenance collision with PR #108 (cross-PR)
Both PRs rewrite _shared/scripts/provenance.py and bump shared recipe versions incompatibly. See PR #108 finding C2 for details.

• Recommendation: Coordinate merge order; rebase the later PR.

---

🟡 Important

I1 — synced_status enum is self-contradictory
sync.md defines synced_status values as active | closed | tracked, but the prose describes closing stories by setting them to "resolved" (which isn't in the enum). The tracked status is described but never used in any decision branch, creating dead state.

• File: ui-design/skills/sync.md (Step 2, Step 5)
• Reviewer: Opus (B9)

I2 — content_hash includes pr_url, making every hash stale after publish
The content_hash formula includes pr_url from publish-metadata.json. Since this changes every time a new PR is opened, all content hashes become stale after /publish, triggering unnecessary Jira updates on the next /sync.

• File: ui-design/skills/sync.md (Step 3)
• Reviewer: Opus (B10)

I3 — /sync hard-requires prior /publish
sync.md Step 1 gates on publish-metadata.json existence. But an early-stage workflow where the user wants to file [DEV] stories before the design is fully published is blocked — even though the gap information is already complete in 02-ui-design.md.

• File: ui-design/skills/sync.md (Step 1)
• Reviewers: Opus (B11), Astra (C3)

I4 — git stash in /respond is never popped
respond.md Step 2 runs git stash to preserve uncommitted work before switching branches, but the skill never calls git stash pop — the stashed changes are lost.

• File: ui-design/skills/respond.md (Step 2 vs. Step 6)
• Reviewer: Opus (B13)

I5 — 01-context.md has no Feature field
The context template captures Epic and Story but not the resolved Feature key. Downstream workflows (publish, sync) need the Feature key to construct the docs-repo path, forcing them to re-derive it each time.

• File: ui-design/skills/ingest.md (context template)
• Reviewer: Opus (B12)

I6 — Provenance footer injected into 02-ui-design.md which has no footer section
plan.md calls the add-provenance recipe on 02-ui-design.md, but unlike 05-handoff.md (which has a designated footer area), the ui-design document has no convention for where the footer goes. It may be appended in a place that breaks downstream parsers.

• File: ui-design/skills/plan.md (Step 7)
• Reviewer: Opus (B8)

I7 — /sync early-exit bypasses recovery passes
When /sync detects "no new or changed gaps," it exits immediately without checking whether previously filed [DEV] stories that are now resolved should be closed. The close/reopen pass only runs when there are new gaps.

• File: ui-design/skills/sync.md (Step 4 early exit)
• Reviewers: Opus (partial), Astra (D1)

I8 — Resolved-gap rows treated ambiguously in close/reopen cycle
If a gap was resolved and its [DEV] story closed, then the same gap reappears in a later /review-api, the manifest row still has the old jira_key but the status was set to closed. The reopen logic path is underspecified — it's unclear whether a new story is created or the old one is reopened.

• File: ui-design/skills/sync.md (Step 5)
• Reviewer: Astra (D2)

I9 — API findings overflow contract
When API findings are large, /review-api writes them to a separate 03-api-findings.md file. But the overflow threshold and the file format are not specified — the consumer (PR #137's implement/skills/ingest.md) looks for api-findings-{key}.md in the docs repo but the private artifact uses a different name.

• Files: ui-design/skills/review-api.md (overflow), implement/skills/ingest.md (consumer)
• Reviewers: Opus (C2), Astra (C1/C2)

I10 — /respond may commit unrelated staged changes
Same issue as PR #108 I4 — respond.md's commit step can sweep up prior staged files.

• File: ui-design/skills/respond.md (Step 4)
• Reviewer: Astra (A2)

I11 — Hierarchy discovery assumes Epic has a parent Feature
ingest.md walks Story → Epic → Feature, but if the Epic has no parent (flat project structure), the resolver fails silently and subsequent publish/sync steps construct broken paths.

• File: ui-design/skills/ingest.md (Step 2 hierarchy)
• Reviewer: Astra (B3)

I12 — PR-comment handling reimplemented instead of reusing _shared
respond.md implements its own PR-comment fetch/parse/respond logic rather than using the shared respond recipe pattern from main, creating maintenance drift.

• File: ui-design/skills/respond.md
• Reviewer: Opus (A6)

I13 — component.field schema disagreement
plan.md and review-api.md use slightly different structures for component field definitions — plan.md uses { name, type, source } while review-api.md uses { name, type, endpoint, field_path, resolved }. When /review-api updates the plan, it may silently overwrite the schema.

• File: ui-design/skills/plan.md vs. ui-design/skills/review-api.md
• Reviewer: Astra (C4)

I14 — Dead validation-report gate in publish.md
publish.md checks for 05-validation-report.md as a gate, but ui-design has no /validate phase and never creates this file. The gate always fails, and the fallback (proceeding without it) makes the check meaningless.

• File: ui-design/skills/publish.md (Step 1)
• Reviewer: Opus (A5)

I15 — Tool prerequisites mention non-existent tools
SKILL.md prerequisites list tools/skills that may not exist in the expected location, with no graceful fallback or error message if they're missing.

• File: ui-design/SKILL.md (prerequisites)
• Reviewer: Astra (E3)

🔵 Suggestions

S1 — gap_id prefix format could drift
The prefix (first 12 hex chars of SHA-256) is short enough for collisions across a large project; consider using the full hash or a longer prefix.

• Reviewer: Opus (B15)

S2 — Self-contradictory script reference in sync
A comment in sync.md references _shared/scripts/jira-sync.py which doesn't exist.

• Reviewer: Opus (B14)

S3 — No templates/ directory
Unlike ux-design and ui-implement, ui-design has no templates/ directory for reusable output structures, even though plan.md produces a complex 10-section document.

• Reviewer: Opus (A7)

---

✅ Positive Observations

• The controller → dispatch → completion three-part orchestration is an excellent context-optimization pattern; demand-loading only the needed phase keeps token usage efficient.
• The eight-category gap taxonomy with stable gap_id is a strong design for tracking API gaps through the lifecycle.
• The no-evidence stop gate (refusing to design when no codebase is found) is a genuinely important safety feature.
• The HAS_HANDOFF fallback allowing ui-design to work without a ux-design handoff makes the workflow flexible.
• The dry-run + approval gate before any Jira writes is well-designed.

[redhat-chai-bot]

All actionable findings from the holistic UX/UI workflow review have been addressed in commit 0859118.

Critical

Finding	Fix
C1	Created ui-design/scripts/compute-hash.py — deterministic gap_id (SHA-256 of category|data_element|endpoint) and content_hash (SHA-256 of sorted JSON). 15 unit tests. review-api.md and sync.md updated to reference the script instead of agent-computed hashes.
C2	Replaced all 18 absolute ${HOME}/.ai-workflows/_shared/ references with relative ../../_shared/ paths across 7 skill files, matching the repo's AGENTS.md convention.
C3	Not addressed — cross-PR provenance collision requires merge-order coordination, not a code fix in this PR.

Important

Finding	Fix
I1	synced_status enum clarified with explicit state transition docs distinguishing "closed" (by sync) from "resolved" (externally closed).
I2	Removed pr_url from content_hash payload (with explanatory note) — prevents every hash becoming stale after /publish.
I3	/sync now works without prior /publish — uses placeholder pr_url with user warning.
I4	Added git stash pop + original branch restoration in publish.md.
I5	Added Feature field to 01-context.md template.
I6	Added provenance footer placement guidance in plan.md.
I7	Early-exit now checks for failed links/adoptions before skipping — recovery pass 4d always runs.
I8	Already addressed — closed vs resolved distinction (clarified by I1).
I9	Cross-PR — overflow file naming is a consumer issue in PR #137.
I10	Added index isolation (git reset HEAD) in respond.md.
I11	Flat hierarchy handling — when Epic has no parent Feature, uses Epic key directly.
I12	Deferred — respond recipe extraction is a larger refactor.
I13	Not a conflict — schemas serve different purposes (plan vs review-api).
I14	Removed dead validation-report gate from publish.md.
I15	N/A — no prerequisites section exists in current SKILL.md.

Suggestions

Finding	Decision
S1	12-char prefix is sufficient for project-scale gap counts.
S2	jira-sync.py reference already removed in prior fix round.
S3	templates/ directory extraction deferred.

Second-Pass Holistic Review — PR #131 (ui-design)

Round 2: Two independent reviewers (Claude Opus 5 max, GPT-6 Astra max) re-reviewed all four PRs in their updated state, scoped to 🔴 Critical and 🟡 Important findings only. Previously-fixed items were excluded. Findings below are the aggregated, deduplicated results relevant to this PR. This PR has the most findings again, reflecting ui-design's central role and complexity.

---

🔴 Critical

C1 — Round-1 ${HOME} removal broke every shared-script invocation (cross-PR: also affects #138 and #137)

The round-1 fix replaced ${HOME}/.ai-workflows/_shared/… references with relative paths (../../_shared/…). However, ${HOME}/.ai-workflows is the correct repo-wide convention — install.sh line 29 hardcodes INSTALL_DIR="${HOME}/.ai-workflows" for all scopes, and there are 15 existing call sites on main that use this form. The relative path in the "Shared Script" prose block is documentation for the source-tree layout, not a runtime invocation pattern.

The three replacement idioms all fail in different ways:

PR	Replacement idiom	Failure mode
#131	python3 "../../_shared/scripts/fetch-issue.py"	Resolves relative to agent CWD (typically the project root), NOT relative to the .md file. Lands two directories above the project. Breaks /ingest, /review-api, /sync.
#138	realpath "../../_shared/scripts/fetch-issue.py"	realpath fails on a non-existent path → FETCH_ISSUE_SCRIPT is empty → every invocation silently skips or errors.
#137	$(cd "$(dirname "${BASH_SOURCE[0]}")/../.." && pwd)	BASH_SOURCE is meaningless in an agent context reading a Markdown file — there is no bash script being sourced. May succeed spuriously with a wrong path. Also leaves implement internally inconsistent: publish.md and respond.md still use ${HOME}.

Recommendation: Revert all three PRs back to ${HOME}/.ai-workflows/_shared/… for runtime script invocations. The ../../_shared/ relative path is valid only as a source-tree reference in prose, not as an executable path.

• Files: ui-design/skills/ingest.md, ui-design/skills/plan.md, ui-design/skills/review-api.md, ui-design/skills/sync.md, ui-design/skills/publish.md, ui-design/skills/respond.md, and equivalents in Add ui-implement workflow for [UI] story implementation #138 and Extend implement/ingest to support ui_design.md via polymorphic design references #137
• Reviewers: Opus (C1), Astra (1) — independently flagged with different evidence

---

🟡 Important

I1 — /publish stash-restore is a no-op; failure exits skip it
publish.md round-1 fix added git stash pop to restore uncommitted work. However, the shell variables from the stash step (STASH_REF) don't persist across separate command blocks in an agent-executed Markdown skill. Each bash block runs in a fresh shell. Additionally, every early-exit/error path skips the restore entirely, leaving the user's docs-repo checkout with stashed-away changes.

• File: ui-design/skills/publish.md (stash/restore blocks)
• Reviewer: Opus (I1)

I2 — /respond cannot reach the PR branch after /publish restores user's checkout
publish.md now checks the user back out to their original branch after pushing. But /respond needs to be on the PR branch to read comments and push fixes. It has no git checkout or git pull step — it assumes it's already on the PR branch. After a publish → respond sequence, /respond commits onto the wrong branch.

• File: ui-design/skills/respond.md (no branch checkout), ui-design/skills/publish.md (restores user branch)
• Reviewer: Opus (I2)

I3 — /sync Step 4 still references publish as required, contradicting the Step 1 fix
Round-1 fixed Step 1 to make publish optional. But Step 4's prose still says "if pr_url was invalid, Step 1 already stopped" — twice. Since Step 1 no longer stops on missing publish, this guard is dead and the subsequent logic may use an undefined pr_url value.

• File: ui-design/skills/sync.md (Step 4)
• Reviewer: Opus (I3)

I4 — Stale api-findings file never cleaned up when findings shrink below overflow threshold
When API findings shrink back below the 200-line threshold on a re-run of /review-api, the overflow file 03-api-findings.md is never deleted. /sync then reads both the inline findings (now complete) and the stale overflow file, producing a conflicting/duplicate gap set.

• File: ui-design/skills/review-api.md (overflow write), ui-design/skills/publish.md (cleanup conditional)
• Reviewers: Opus (I4), Astra (3) — independently flagged

I5 — Feature discovery --parent-fields projection may not return the Epic's own parent
ingest.md calls fetch-issue.py get {workspace-id} --parent-fields parent,key,summary to get the parent Epic. But this projects parent on the returned parent, not on the story itself — so it gets the Epic's parent (Feature) embedded inside the Epic record, which is correct. However, if the Jira parent expansion doesn't nest (depends on API version), the Feature key won't be in the response and the fallback silently proceeds with an empty feature-slug.

• File: ui-design/skills/ingest.md (Step 2 hierarchy)
• Reviewer: Astra (2)

I6 — /sync after first publication skips the Jira link update
After the first /publish, /sync is supposed to update each [DEV] story with a link to the published UI design doc's PR. But the round-1 fix that made publish optional means /sync now exits early when there's no pr_url change — even though the PR was just created and stories have never had the link added.

• File: ui-design/skills/sync.md (Step 4)
• Reviewer: Astra (4)

I7 — Incremental publication attempts to create an already-existing PR
When /publish runs a second time (e.g., after /revise), it re-runs the "create draft PR" step. If the PR already exists, the gh pr create command fails. The round-1 fix for "no re-publish path" only addressed updating file content — it didn't add a check for an existing PR before the create step.

• File: ui-design/skills/publish.md (Step 3 — create PR)
• Reviewer: Astra (5)

I8 — Early exit in /sync prevents recovery of interrupted sync
When /sync detects no new/changed gaps, it exits immediately. But if a previous sync was interrupted after creating some Jira stories but before adding dependency links, those stories remain linkless. The early exit skips the link-repair pass that would fix them.

I9 — Feasibility & Phasing section dropped at ux-design → ui-design boundary (cross-PR with #108)
See PR #108 finding I2 — ingest.md doesn't read the Feasibility & Phasing section from the ux-design handoff.

All 10 findings from the second-pass holistic review have been addressed in commit 0f042ff.

Critical

Finding	Fix
C1	Reverted all ../../_shared/ paths back to ${HOME}/.ai-workflows/_shared/ across 7 skill files + dispatch.md. install.sh convention (${HOME}/.ai-workflows) confirmed as the correct runtime invocation pattern — relative paths resolve against agent CWD, not the markdown file.

Important

Finding	Fix
I1	Publish stash-restore now persists ORIGINAL_BRANCH and stash state to files (publish-original-branch.txt, publish-stash-created.txt). Reads them back in the restore step. All error/early-exit paths include restore obligation.
I2	Respond.md Step 1a reads branch name from publish-metadata.json and checks it out in the docs repo. Creates tracking branch if not local.
I3	Removed stale "Step 1 already stopped" guards from sync.md Step 4. Replaced with conditional pr_url handling (placeholder vs valid URL).
I4	Review-api.md: rm -f ".artifacts/ui-design/{workspace-id}/03-api-findings.md" when findings fit inline (below 200-line threshold).
I5	Bare key string handling already present in ingest.md; C1 path fix applied to ensure scripts resolve correctly.
I6	Sync.md: pr_url-update check before early exit — compares manifest pr_url with publish-metadata.json, updates all active stories' descriptions when pr_url changes. Added pr_url to manifest schema.
I7	Publish.md: checks for existing PR via gh pr list --head {BRANCH_NAME} before gh pr create, with cross-repository fallback.
I8	Sync.md: link-repair pass moved before early-exit evaluation — repairs execute even when no new/changed gaps exist.
I9	Ingest.md: reads Feasibility & Phasing section from UX handoff and includes it in 01-context.md template.

Tests: 323 (_shared/scripts) + 15 (ui-design/scripts) pass. Version validation: PASSED.
