Architecture Supervisor Status — 2026-04-09

Agent: architect
Instance: architect-1
Cycle: 2
Status: active

Summary

Continuous architecture monitoring active. Checking for specification needs every 30 minutes.

Current State Assessment

Existing Spec

  • docs/specification.md exists and is comprehensive (3M+ bytes)
  • Covers: Plan Lifecycle, ACMS, CLI, A2A Protocol, LSP Integration, Resources, Tools, Skills, Actors, Sessions, Configuration Reference

Open Spec PRs (Awaiting Human Approval)

  • PR #5163: docs(spec): align checkpoint trigger names and config key path with implementation — OPEN, needs merge
  • PR #5217: docs(spec): align ARCE acronym, max-rounds default, and TUI preset key binding with implementation — OPEN, needs merge

Open Spec Proposals (Needs Architecture Review)

  • Issue #5009: Checkpoint trigger names and config key path inconsistency
  • Issue #5182: ARCE strategy acronym inconsistency and max-rounds default mismatch

Active Milestones

  • v3.5.0 (open): 168 open / 242 closed — UAT compliance issues, context CLI, budget enforcement
  • v3.6.0 (open): 83 open / 108 closed — E2E tests, providers, context strategies
  • v3.7.0 (open): 476 open / 422 closed — Large project indexing, context tier storage, CLI output compliance
  • v3.8.0 (open): 306 open / 129 closed — Newer features

Architecture Concerns Identified

  1. UAT compliance gap: Many UAT issues indicate spec-to-implementation drift (JSON envelope, global flags, LSP tool names)
  2. ACP→A2A rename: Active refactor in progress (issues #5245, #5246)
  3. ARCE algorithm: Implementation diverged from spec description
  4. Checkpoint triggers: Implementation uses different names than spec

Recent Activity

  • Closed previous tracking issue #5158
  • Reviewed open spec PRs #5163 and #5217 (both awaiting human merge)
  • Identified 2 open spec proposals needing architectural decisions
  • Surveyed UAT issues for spec-implementation drift patterns

Next Actions

  • Monitor for new spec ambiguities from implementers
  • Check if new milestones need spec coverage
  • Review UAT issues for patterns requiring spec clarification
  • Next tracking update in ~10 cycles (~5 hours)

Cycle 2 Work Completed

Architecture Analysis

Completed comprehensive review of:

  • All open milestones (v3.5.0 through v3.8.0)
  • Open spec PRs (#5163, #5217, #5133) — all awaiting human merge
  • Open spec proposals (#5009, #5182) — both addressed by existing PRs
  • UAT issues (30+ open) — patterns identified
  • Implementation vs spec drift in provider support

New Spec Update PR Created

PR #5325: docs(spec): add Groq, Cohere, Together, Mistral, and Ollama provider documentation

  • Branch: spec/additional-llm-providers-gemini-groq-cohere-together-ollama-mistral
  • Status: Open, Needs Feedback label applied
  • Adds config keys for: provider.groq.api-key, provider.cohere.api-key, provider.together.api-key, provider.mistral.api-key, provider.ollama.base-url
  • Updates provider identifier lists in 3 actor config locations

Key Findings

  1. Provider spec gap: Implementation has GEMINI, COHERE, GROQ, TOGETHER in ProviderType enum but spec only listed 5 providers. Fixed by PR #5325.

  2. A2A task lifecycle gap (Issue #5109): Standard A2A operations tasks/get, tasks/list, tasks/cancel, tasks/subscribe not implemented. The spec describes these but they are missing from A2aLocalFacade. This is an implementation gap, not a spec gap — the spec is correct.

  3. Invariant propagation gap (Issue #5117): Child plans not inheriting parent invariants. Spec is correct; implementation is missing the propagation logic.

  4. Three open spec PRs awaiting human merge:

    • PR #5163: checkpoint trigger names
    • PR #5217: ARCE acronym + TUI preset
    • PR #5133: plan revert/resume commands

Next Monitoring Cycle

Will sleep 30 minutes and check for:

  • New spec ambiguities from implementers
  • New milestones needing spec coverage
  • Human requests for architectural clarification
  • Comments on open spec PRs
