Sprint 27 Plan: Constrained Constructive Editing I

Context

Sprint 27 begins the reliability path for token-efficient, low-hallucination execution once taskitems are queued. Markdown-to-taskitem remains a fuzzy architect problem; taskitem-to-edit becomes a constrained deterministic problem.

Primary goals:

  1. Define legal operation surface for each taskitem
  2. Restrict symbol/action space to in-scope options
  3. Encode contract checks before and after every edit

Phase 27a: Taskitem Constraint Model (Steps 524-528)

Step 524: Typed Taskitem Contract Schema (12 tests)

  • Expand taskitem schema with strict fields: allowed targets, allowed ops, allowed symbols, forbidden symbols, expected diagnostics deltas
  • Reject under-specified taskitems for constrained execution path
  • Build operation graph: insert/update/delete/rename/refactor primitives
  • Bind each primitive to language-specific legal contexts
  • Enforce op availability by AST node kind

Step 526: Symbol Scope Extractor (12 tests)

  • Build in-scope symbol snapshot per taskitem context
  • Provide explicit candidate set to execution engines
  • Block unresolved symbol references before apply

Step 527: Constraint Violation Diagnostics (12 tests)

  • New diagnostics for out-of-scope symbol usage and forbidden ops
  • Structured machine-readable error payloads for retry/escalation

Step 528: Phase 27a Integration (8 tests)

  • Taskitem with complete constraints routes and executes
  • Under-constrained taskitem gets rejected with actionable diagnostics

Phase 27b: Deterministic Apply Guardrails (Steps 529-533)

Step 529: Pre-Apply Validation Gate (12 tests)

  • Validate candidate edit against legal op graph + symbol snapshot
  • Reject illegal edits before touching source buffer

Step 530: Post-Apply Structural Gate (12 tests)

  • Re-parse touched region and validate AST integrity
  • Validate no unexpected symbol graph drift

Step 531: Contract Delta Checker (12 tests)

  • Compare before/after contract set per taskitem expectations
  • Block edits that violate required post-conditions

Step 532: Retry/Escalation Protocol for Constraint Failures (12 tests)

  • Deterministic retry for correctable failures
  • Escalate to higher-context worker/human only with full failure packet

Step 533: Sprint 27 Integration + Summary (8 tests)

  • Constrained pipeline prevents out-of-scope edits by construction
  • Hallucinated symbol calls fail fast with explicit diagnostics
