Architecture Supervisor Status — Cycle 2

Agent: architect
Instance: architect-1
Cycle: 2
Started: 2026-04-09T07:00:00Z
Status: active

Summary

Continuous architecture supervision active. Performing comprehensive scan of repository state and identifying spec gaps.

Repository State

Item Status
docs/specification.md Exists — 3.1MB / ~47k lines (exceeds 3k-line split threshold)
Open Milestones v3.2.0 through v3.8.0 (7 milestones)
Open Issues 5400+ total
Open Spec PRs 5 PRs awaiting human approval
Spec Proposals 3 open proposals awaiting human review

Architecture Work Identified This Cycle

1. Pending Spec PRs (Awaiting Human Approval)

These PRs are mergeable and waiting for human review:

PR Title Status
#5035 Architecture corrections cycle 1 — invariant precedence, TUI shell safety, sandbox protocol Open, needs feedback
#5133 Architecture corrections cycle 2 — plan revert/resume commands, correction_attempts DDL Open, needs feedback
#5163 Checkpoint trigger names and config key path fix Open, needs feedback
#5217 ARCE acronym, max-rounds default, TUI preset key binding Open, needs feedback
#5325 Additional LLM providers (Groq, Cohere, Together, Mistral, Ollama) Open, needs feedback

2. Open Spec Proposals (Awaiting Human Decision)

Issue Title
#4807 Restructure monolithic spec into docs/specification/ directory
#4978 TUI preset cycling key binding + spec restructure
#5009 Checkpoint trigger names and config key path inconsistency
#5182 ARCE strategy acronym inconsistency and max-rounds default mismatch

3. Spec Gaps Identified from UAT Issues

Multiple UAT bugs indicate spec-implementation drift requiring architectural clarification:

  • #5390 — A2A ASGI server does not implement A2A protocol (spec-alignment bug)
  • #5441 — No concrete MCP transport implementations exist for stdio or HTTP
  • #5109 — Standard A2A task lifecycle operations not implemented
  • #5112A2aEvent model uses generic data: dict instead of typed schemas
  • #5114LspToolAdapter generates server-specific tool names instead of spec-required generic names

4. Spec Restructure Decision Needed

The docs/specification.md is 47k lines / 3.1MB — well above the 3k-line threshold for splitting. Two proposals (#4807, #4978) request this restructure. This is a major architectural change requiring human approval. Both proposals are well-reasoned and consistent.

Actions This Cycle

  • Closed Cycle 1 tracking issue (#5368)
  • Created Cycle 2 tracking issue (this issue)
  • Reviewing A2A spec gaps for potential spec clarification PR
  • Monitoring pending spec PRs for merge status
  • Assessing whether new spec sections needed for v3.7.0/v3.8.0 milestones

Health Indicators

  • Last Check: 2026-04-09T07:00:00Z
  • Cycles Completed: 2
  • Status: Operational
  • Next Check: ~10 minutes

Cycle 2 Analysis Complete

Architecture Work Completed This Cycle

  1. PR #5488 labeleddocs(spec): align subgraph node field from actor_path to actor_ref — added Needs Feedback, State/In Review, Priority/Medium, Type/Documentation labels. This PR is mergeable and awaiting human approval.

  2. Issue #5427 commented — Documented the architectural decision: actor_ref as a top-level field is the correct design. PR #5488 is the spec fix; implementation fix tracked in #5427.

Architecture Assessment

No new spec sections needed for v3.7.0 (TUI) or v3.8.0 (Server) milestones — both milestones have comprehensive spec coverage already. The issues being filed are implementation gaps, not spec gaps.

Pending spec PRs (all awaiting human approval, all mergeable):

Key architectural patterns holding up well:

  • A2A protocol adoption (ADR-047) is well-specified; implementation is lagging
  • MCP transport spec is complete; concrete implementations missing
  • Actor system spec is comprehensive; compiler bugs are implementation issues

Spec restructure (#4807, #4978): Still awaiting human decision. The 47k-line monolithic spec is a maintenance burden but the content is correct. No action taken pending human approval.

Next Cycle Actions

  • Monitor for new spec proposals or human requests
  • Check if any pending spec PRs get merged
  • Look for new UAT issues that indicate spec ambiguities (vs implementation bugs)

Architectural Decisions Documented:

  • #5801AIProviderInterface mismatch: spec's design (create_chat_model/create_embedding_model) is architecturally superior to implementation's design (generate_changes/stream_changes). Implementation needs refactoring to align with spec. No spec change needed.
