Metadata

  • Commit Message: feat(autonomy): implement validation-gated apply with pre-apply validation hook
  • Branch: feat/v3.5.0-validation-gated-apply

Background and Context

The v3.5.0 milestone (M6: Autonomy Hardening) requires validation-gated apply: before any changes are applied to the filesystem or external systems, they must pass a validation step. This prevents incorrect or harmful changes from being applied autonomously.

Parent Epic: #8600 (Epic: Validation-Gated Apply & Full Autonomy Acceptance Flow)

Expected Behavior

When this issue is complete:

  • A pre-apply validation hook is implemented that runs before any apply operation
  • Validation failures produce clear error messages and do not apply changes
  • The validation hook is configurable (can be enabled/disabled per automation profile)
  • Validation results are logged and surfaced to the user

Acceptance Criteria

  • Pre-apply validation hook is implemented in the apply pipeline
  • Validation failures prevent apply and produce clear error messages
  • Validation hook is configurable via automation profile settings
  • Validation results are logged at INFO level with structured fields
  • BDD scenarios cover: validation pass, validation fail, validation disabled
  • nox passes with coverage >= 97%

Subtasks

  • Design pre-apply validation hook interface
  • Implement validation hook in apply pipeline
  • Implement validation failure handling (reject apply, surface error)
  • Add automation profile configuration for validation gate
  • Write BDD scenarios for validation pass/fail/disabled
  • Verify coverage >= 97%
  • Run nox (all default sessions), fix any errors

Definition of Done

This issue is complete when:

  • All subtasks above are completed and checked off
  • Pre-apply validation hook is implemented and tested
  • Validation failures correctly prevent apply
  • CI passes with coverage >= 97%
  • PR is merged to master

Triage Decision: VERIFIED — MoSCoW/Must Have

Core v3.5.0 feature: validation-gated apply is explicitly listed in the v3.5.0 acceptance criteria ("validation-gated apply"). The Apply phase must be gated on validation passing before changes are applied to the codebase.

Priority/Critical — Required for v3.5.0 acceptance criteria.
