Summary
Fixes issue #10972 where
_path_matches()inexecute_phase_context_assembler.pyusedPurePath.full_match(pattern)which requires the ENTIRE path to match. Since fragment metadata stores absolute paths (e.g./app/.opencode/skills/SKILL.md) while project context include/exclude settings produce relative globs (.opencode/, docs/), the include/exclude filters were silently ineffective.Changes
execute_phase_context_assembler.py
_glob_matches()static helper that auto-prefixes relative patterns with**/so they correctly match any trailing segment of an absolute path_path_matches()to use_glob_matches()instead of direct full_match()context_phase_analysis.py
_matches_pattern()to auto-prefix relative patterns with**/before calling match(), ensuring consistent behavior with absolute pathsTests

Review: fix(acms): normalize context path matching for absolute paths in _path_matches
Overall assessment: The fix addresses the correct root cause and the approach in
execute_phase_context_assembler.py(_glob_matches()) is clean and well-structured. However, several blocking issues must be resolved before this PR can be merged.❌ BLOCKING: CI / lint is failing
The
CI / lintjob is failing, which also causesCI / status-checkto fail. This is a hard merge gate — all required CI checks must pass.Root cause identified:
context_phase_analysis.pyline 45 has 101 characters (ruff limit is 88):This line must be wrapped to stay within the 88-character line length limit.
Additionally,
execute_phase_context_assembler.pyline 84 (docstring example) is 89 characters. Please wrap it too.Fix: Break the long conditional onto multiple lines, e.g.:
❌ BLOCKING: CI / benchmark-regression is failing
The
CI / benchmark-regressionjob is also failing. Please investigate and resolve this before merge. If the failure is pre-existing and unrelated to this PR, provide evidence of that so the reviewer can assess accordingly.❌ BLOCKING: PR missing required milestone
The linked issue #10972 is assigned to milestone
v3.5.0. Per CONTRIBUTING.md, the PR must be assigned to the same milestone as the linked issue. This PR has no milestone assigned.Fix: Assign milestone
v3.5.0to this PR.❌ BLOCKING: PR missing required Type/ label
Per CONTRIBUTING.md: "Exactly one Type/ label: Type/Bug, Type/Feature, or Type/Task" is a required PR merge criterion. This PR has no labels at all.
Fix: Add the
Type/Buglabel to this PR.❌ BLOCKING: Branch name milestone mismatch
The issue #10972 is assigned to
v3.5.0, which per the branch naming convention corresponds tom5. However, the branch is namedbugfix/m6-acms-path-matching-absolute(usingm6=v3.6.0).Per CONTRIBUTING.md: "The milestone number N comes from the milestone assigned to the linked issue (e.g. if the issue is in milestone v3.4.0 → N = 4). The branch MUST match the Branch field in the issue Metadata section."
Fix: If the issue is definitively in
v3.5.0, the branch should bebugfix/m5-acms-path-matching-absolute. Alternatively, if the work was re-targeted tov3.6.0, the issue milestone should be updated to match. Whichever is correct, ensure consistency between the issue milestone and the branchmNnumber.⚠️ CODE ISSUE: Redundant backward-compatibility fallback in
_matches_patternmay cause unexpected behaviorIn
context_phase_analysis.py, the new_matches_patternattempts matching with the prefixed pattern first, then falls back to trying the ORIGINAL un-prefixed pattern:This fallback is problematic:
docs/**, if**/{pattern}fails to match (e.g., because the path truly does not belong underdocs/), trying the originaldocs/**fallback can produce false positives on relative paths and false negatives on absolute paths — exactly the bug being fixed._glob_matches()inexecute_phase_context_assembler.py(the cleaner implementation) has NO such fallback — it simply auto-prefixes and matches. The two implementations should be consistent.path_obj.match(prefixed.replace("**/", ""))already handles the zero-depth compatibility case on the primary branch. The secondary fallback duplicates this.Recommended fix: Remove the
if not matched:block entirely. The_glob_matches()approach inexecute_phase_context_assembler.pyis correct and should be mirrored here.⚠️ SUGGESTION: Dead helper function
_strict_path_policy()in step fileIn
features/steps/project_context_phase_analysis_steps.py, the function_strict_path_policy()(line 188) is defined but never called — the@givenstep at line 200 creates its ownProjectContextPolicydirectly without calling it.Suggestion: Remove
_strict_path_policy()to avoid confusion. Dead code in test files can mislead future contributors into thinking the function is used somewhere.✅ What is working well
execute_phase_context_assembler.pyis clean:_glob_matches()is a well-named, well-documented, correct static helper. The docstring examples accurately illustrate the behavior._path_matches()delegation to_glob_matches()is idiomatic.@tdd_issue @tdd_issue_10972tags are included as required by the TDD bug fix workflow.ISSUES CLOSED: #10972footer.Please address all BLOCKING items, then re-request review.

BLOCKING — lint failure (E501): line too long (101 > 88 characters)
This line is 101 characters and will fail ruff linting. The CI / lint job is currently failing because of this.
Please rewrite as:
This is also more readable than the ternary expression.

📋 Estimate: tier 1.
Cross-file bug fix (2 service files + 2 test feature files + CHANGELOG/CONTRIBUTORS). The core logic change is focused — auto-prefix relative globs with
**/for absolute path matching — but CI has three failing gates requiring investigation: (1) two trivial E501 lint errors (mechanical line-wrap), (2) unit test failures in actor_run_signature.feature and plan_service_coverage.feature that appear unrelated to path matching and need triage to determine if pre-existing or regressed, (3) integration test failures in the same actor_run_signature area. The test failure investigation across multiple feature files is the dominant cost driver — unclear whether these are flaky/pre-existing failures or introduced regressions. Standard tier-1 cross-file work with test investigation burden.87c6b5afc27c08f63a847c08f63a84bc9690e698✅ Approved
