Specification Update Report — Cycle 1

Agent: spec-updater
Date: 2026-04-09
Master SHA: 2f69358dcf
Spec Size: 47,039 lines (monolithic — split threshold: ~3,000 lines)


Summary

Initial spec update cycle. Analyzed recently merged PRs and compared implementation against specification.

PRs Analyzed:

  • #4175 — fix: restore CI quality tests to passing state
  • #3837 — fix(cli): agents validation attach extra args → --key value format
  • #3682 — docs: document ACMS real retrieval logic and automatic checkpoint triggers
  • #3676 — fix(acms): invoke SkeletonCompressor in ContextAssembler.assemble()
  • #3657 — docs: update session export panels and plan executor subplan wiring
  • #3635 — fix(acms): implement real retrieval logic in all 6 spec-required context strategies
  • #3619 — fix(plan-executor): wire SubplanService and SubplanExecutionService into Execute phase
  • #3474 — fix(executor): implement automatic per-tool-write and event-based checkpoint triggers

Spec Proposals Created

Issue Description Status
#5009 Checkpoint trigger names (before_tool_execute/after_tool_execute vs on_tool_write/on_tool_write_complete) and config key path inconsistency (core.checkpoints.auto_create_on vs sandbox.checkpoint.auto-create-on) Awaiting human approval
#4978 TUI preset cycling key binding (ctrl+t vs ctrl+tab) and spec size restructure Awaiting human approval (from previous session)

Proposals Approved and PRs Created

None this cycle.


Proposals Rejected

None.


Issues Created for Incorrect Deviations

None — all deviations analyzed were either:

  1. Implementation improvements (better naming, pragmatic bridges) → proposal created
  2. Already tracked as UAT issues (e.g., #4890 for checkpoint config key)

Specification Alignment Analysis

Aligned (Implementation matches spec)

  • ACMS 6 built-in strategies: All 6 strategies (simple-keyword, semantic-embedding, breadth-depth-navigator, arce, temporal-archaeology, plan-decision-context) now have real retrieval logic (PR #3635). Quality scores, backend requirements, and behavior match spec.
  • SkeletonCompressor wiring: ContextPayload.skeleton_fragments field exists, skeleton_ratio=0.15 default matches spec, parent_fragments parameter wired correctly (PR #3676).
  • SubplanService/SubplanExecutionService: Wired into PlanExecutor Execute phase with sequential and parallel spawn support (PR #3619).
  • agents validation attach extra args: Now uses --key value named option format as specified (PR #3837).
  • Checkpoint triggers on_subplan_spawn and on_error: Names match spec.

⚠️ Discrepancies Found (Proposals Created)

  • Checkpoint trigger names: before_tool_execute/after_tool_execute vs spec's on_tool_write/on_tool_write_complete → Proposal #5009
  • Config key path inconsistency in spec: core.checkpoints.auto_create_on (line 19449) vs sandbox.checkpoint.auto-create-on (line 30722) → Proposal #5009

📝 Implementation Details (Not in Spec, Acceptable)

  • SpecStrategyAdapter: Bridge class that adapts the domain-model ContextStrategy protocol to the ACMSPipeline's internal protocol. Not in spec but a pragmatic implementation detail. Tracked in issue #3491 for future refactoring.
  • Character-frequency embedding: SemanticEmbeddingStrategy uses a v1 character-frequency approximation. Spec doesn't specify the embedding algorithm — this is acceptable as a v1 implementation.

Monolithic/Split Status

docs/specification.md is 47,039 lines — well above the 3,000-line split threshold. Restructure proposal is pending in #4978.


Health Indicators

  • Specification Alignment: ~95% aligned (2 trigger name mismatches, 1 config key path inconsistency)
  • Pending Proposals: 2 (#4978, #5009)
  • Approved Proposals: 0
  • Rejected Proposals: 0
