Sprint 228-231 Execution Tracker - 2026-02-26

Scope

Planned and started:

Added planning-readiness tool:
- tools/mcp/spec_planning_readiness.py
Integrated planning precheck into taskitem pipeline:
- tools/mcp/run_sprint_taskitem_pipeline.sh
- new env controls:
  - WSTONE_SPEC_READINESS_PRECHECK (default 1)
  - WSTONE_SPEC_READINESS_HARD_GATE (default 0)
  - WSTONE_SPEC_READINESS_MIN_SCORE (default 65)
Tool outputs:
- readiness score (section_score, keyword_score, total)
- verdict (execution_ready or needs_spec_hardening)
- missing-action list for planning gaps
- recommended markdown template blocks for missing sections

logs/taskitem_runs/spec_hardening_gate_20260226_s228_r2/report.json

Observed baseline:

both sample docs currently return needs_spec_hardening
low readiness scores indicate missing first-class sections for constraints/acceptance/environment/security/performance.

Hardening delta (sprint228 plan sample):

before: score=17, verdict needs_spec_hardening, missing actions 10
after auto-hardening scaffold: score=100, verdict execution_ready, missing actions 0

Pipeline hard-gate proof:

original spec run (hard gate on): rc=7 with explicit readiness failure
- logs/taskitem_runs/sprint228_plan_20260226_141045/00a_spec_readiness.json
hardened spec run (hard gate on): rc=0 and full pipeline completion
- logs/taskitem_runs/sprint228_hardened_20260226_141045/00_summary.json

Reusable flow wrapper:

tools/mcp/run_spec_hardening_gate.sh
example invocation:
- tools/mcp/run_spec_hardening_gate.sh sprint228_plan.md logs/taskitem_runs/spec_hardening_gate_20260226_s228_r2

Sprint 228: PARTIAL (tool implemented, baseline executed, pipeline precheck integrated)
Sprint 229: PARTIAL (constraint synthesis mapping implemented in tool)
Sprint 230: PARTIAL (acceptance readiness checks implemented in tool)
Sprint 231: PARTIAL (environment/projection checks implemented in tool)

Enable hard-gate mode for selected sprint ranges and capture pass/fail deltas.
Add reusable wrapper script for readiness->hardening->hard-gate flow across catalogs.
Re-run benchmarks using hardened specs and measure downstream readiness deltas.
