Inline comments:
In `@ears-manager/internal/specvalidation/artifacts.go`:
- Around line 134-135: Update artifact path validation around the clean and
absolute-path checks to use a platform-independent, slash-only project-relative
path grammar before converting paths for host filesystem use. Avoid
host-specific filepath.Clean and filepath.IsAbs semantics when validating
backslashes, volume paths, traversal, and absolute paths; preserve the existing
reserved-path validation through isReservedArtifactPath.
- Around line 151-154: Update the Lstat failure branch in artifact path
validation to use the fixed detail message “Inspect artifact path.” instead of
formatting err into the artifact.path_unreadable diagnostic. Preserve the
existing diagnostic code, context, and remediation text.
- Around line 160-163: Update the os.ReadFile error branch in artifact
validation to use the stable message “Read registered artifact.” without
interpolating err; keep the existing diagnostic code, path metadata, and
remediation unchanged.
In `@ears-manager/internal/specvalidation/diagnostics.go`:
- Around line 105-115: Update validateCreated and its callers to pass the record
kind explicitly, then use that kind to select the missing-field diagnostic
instead of inferring it through missingFieldCode(recordID). Preserve the
existing requirement, change-set, interface, and project mappings even when
recordID is empty or malformed, and remove or stop using the recordID-based
inference in this path.
In `@ears-manager/internal/specvalidation/loader.go`:
- Line 20: Update loadError.Error to return a deterministic message based only
on the logical e.Path, removing the raw e.Err text and its filesystem-dependent
details while preserving the existing load-error context.
In `@ears-manager/internal/specvalidation/relationships.go`:
- Around line 83-91: Pass the relationship index from the caller’s relationship
iteration into validateRelationshipEdge, and use it directly to build the
relationships[index] diagnostic field. Update the function signature and call
site accordingly, then remove relationshipField and its redundant
canonicalization/search.
In `@ears-manager/internal/specvalidation/validator.go`:
- Line 229: Update indexArtifacts and its caller to accept and use the resolved
project path for duplicate-ID diagnostics instead of hardcoding
.protobot/project.yaml. Extract validateProject’s snapshot.ConfigPath fallback
logic into a shared helper, resolve the path in Validate before calling
indexArtifacts, and preserve the existing fallback when the configured path is
empty.

Looks good to me Previous runReviewFindingsMedium
For context: this is a re-review at head A fresh, full-scope correctness pass over the unchanged code (dispatched per policy on every re-review, regardless of prior findings) surfaced the one new finding above. It was initially challenged and removed by the adversarial pass on the theory that the underlying ADR passage only governs impact-assessment recomputation, not retire-target checks; independent re-reading of ADR-0002 line 284 (added by this PR) found that passage explicitly extends the "checked against stored historical assessment rather than later records" guarantee to retire operations specifically, using nearly identical language to the impact-assessment paragraph a few lines below it. The finding was reinstated on that basis. The three correctness findings open in the round before this one (nil-map-as-all-proposed in A candidate Next steps:

(AI generated) Fullsend review summary:
All eight findings were addressed or explicitly resolved in follow-up commit |
|
Risk Assessment: moderate (2/5) DetailsAnchored at 2 (moderate), unchanged from the prior assessment: head SHA is identical to the prior review, so Tier 1/Tier 2 signals are necessarily unchanged (26 files, ~3607 lines, no protected/security/CI/dependency paths, established non-bot author); Tier 3 remains a well-scoped, unblocked issue with no risk-relevant labels. Previous runRisk Assessment: moderate (2/5) DetailsScore remains anchored at 2 (moderate), unchanged from the immediately prior review at 943ee61: Tier 1 signals are effectively identical (26 files, ~3607 lines, no protected/security/CI/dependency paths, established non-bot author), Tier 2 churn/regression patterns remain concentrated in iterative governed-doc wording refinement rather than core code instability, and Tier 3 remains a well-scoped, unblocked issue (#108) with no risk-relevant labels; the single additional commit since the prior assessment is a small targeted bugfix touching 3 already-new specvalidation files and does not introduce a specific, articulable reason to deviate from the prior score. Previous run (2)Risk Assessment: moderate (2/5) DetailsScore remains anchored at 2 (moderate), unchanged from the prior review at f944935: Tier 1 signals are identical (26 files, 3579 lines, no protected/security/CI/dependency paths, established non-bot author), and the only commit since the prior assessment touched a single fixture file with no material effect on Tier 2 churn/authorship patterns, which remain concentrated in iterative governed-doc wording refinement rather than core code instability; Tier 3 remains a well-scoped, unblocked issue (#108) with no risk-relevant labels. Previous run (3)Risk Assessment: moderate (2/5) DetailsScore remains anchored at 2 (moderate): isolated new internal package with no protected/security/CI/dependency paths and an established non-bot author, moderate churn concentrated in governed-doc wording refinement rather than core code instability, and a well-scoped, unblocked issue (#108) with no risk-relevant labels. Previous run (4)Risk Assessment: moderate (2/5) DetailsScore remains anchored at 2 (moderate), unchanged from the prior review round on this same PR: metadata is materially the same (17 files/2727 lines, isolated new package, no protected/security/CI/dependency changes, established non-bot author), git history shows elevated churn concentrated in small governed-doc edits reflecting iterative spec wording refinement rather than code instability, and the linked issue #108 closely matches PR scope with its CLI-wiring carve-out respected. Previous run (5)Risk Assessment: moderate (2/5) DetailsLarge diff (2144 lines, 16 files, mostly a brand-new isolated specvalidation package) but no protected/security paths, no CI or dependency changes, adequate test coverage, an established author, and a tightly-scoped, fully-matching linked issue with CLI wiring explicitly deferred, yielding a moderate composite score of 2. |

Summary
internal/specvalidationengine and project loader.Scope
CLI wiring remains out of scope and belongs to EM-04/#110.
Contract Clarifications
This implementation tightens previously ambiguous ADR-0002 details: canonical text digest format, artifact owner semantics, built-in validator registration, default application order, file-only artifact paths, and the requirement that superseded requirements be retired. These are clarification/amendment changes required to make EM-03 deterministic, not expansion into a new feature area.
Independent Review Disposition
An independent review evaluated all seven reported findings:
retireoperation now requires the current requirement record to beretired.1; owner, digest, artifact-kind, and structured-store integrity tightenings are pre-adoption clarifications and do not require a migration path.Format-specific validator execution remains a later CLI/integration concern; this validation layer checks the code-controlled registry name and artifact-kind compatibility without executing caller-supplied commands.
