+# Sprint 233 Execution Tracker - 2026-02-26
+
+## Scope
+- `sprint233_plan.md`
+
+## Implemented
+
+Tooling added:
+- `tools/mcp/augment_spec_with_semantic_packet.py`
+
+Pipeline integrations in `tools/mcp/run_sprint_taskitem_pipeline.sh`:
+- `WSTONE_SEMANTIC_INTAKE_AUGMENT` (default `1`)
+- `WSTONE_SEMANTIC_REQUIREMENT_INJECTION` (default `1`)
+- `WSTONE_SEMANTIC_TASK_EXPANSION` (default `1`)
+- Summary fields:
+  - `semantic_intake_augment`
+  - `semantic_requirement_injection`
+  - `semantic_task_expansion`
+
+## A/B Evidence (TEST_ONLY)
+
+Compared same drive spec with semantic bridge disabled vs enabled:
+- base run:
+  - `logs/taskitem_runs/TEST_ONLY_sprint233_base_no_semantic_20260226_143211/00_summary.json`
+- semantic bridge run:
+  - `logs/taskitem_runs/TEST_ONLY_sprint233_semantic_bridge_20260226_143213/00_summary.json`
+
+Observed delta:
+- `validation.total_taskitems`: `2 -> 8` (delta `+6`)
+- `validation.average_execution_specificity_score`: `75.0 -> 84.75` (delta `+9.75`)
+- `semantic_requirement_injection.injected_count`: `0 -> 10`
+- `semantic_task_expansion.expanded_task_count`: `0 -> 6`
+
+## Explicit Completion Signal
+
+- Sprint 233: `DONE` (implemented + integrated + measurable decomposition delta)
+
+## Residual Risk
+
+- Semantic bridge currently improves differentiation via deterministic expansion heuristics.
+- Next step is generator-native semantic consumption to reduce reliance on bridge-side expansion.

+# Sprint 233 Plan: Semantic-Aware Task Decomposition Bridge
+
+## Goal
+Ensure semantic planning packets materially affect task decomposition instead of only being logged.
+
+## Steps
+- Step 2205: Add semantic packet -> intake augmentation pass to improve fallback intake quality.
+- Step 2206: Add semantic requirement injection into normalized requirement set before taskitem generation.
+- Step 2207: Add semantic task expansion bridge to derive additional constrained tasks from semantic requirements.
+- Step 2208: Emit semantic bridge telemetry in pipeline summary (`semantic_requirement_injection`, `semantic_task_expansion`).
+- Step 2209: Run A/B pipeline comparison (semantic bridge off vs on) and record deltas.
+- Step 2210: Add `Sprint233IntegrationSummary.h`.
