"approval_note":"2026-09-12: user requested amendments and help moving the design forward for a scalable pre-push security safety net, broader than WordPress; clarified that advisory output must be actionable and not SAST noise. Requirements and a proposed design were drafted together under that explicit request. No requirements, design, tasks, enforcement policy, or latency target are marked approved. Phase remains requirements-generated until human review. Existing predecessor approvals are unchanged. ; 2026-09-12: after the amended requirements/design and cross-language evaluation were presented, the maintainer said \"ok, next kiro phase\". Requirements and design are now approved for task generation; tasks remain unapproved. Earlier unapproved statements above describe the historical drafting state.",
"cross_language_note":"2026-09-12: maintainer endorsed the direction and clarified PMPro as core development case, JavaScript/Express Node APIs as required transfer workload, and C/C++ as additional shared-machinery/abstraction-limit evidence. Preserve language-agnostic core decisions; framework facts may differ. Detailed amended requirements/design remain pending review.",

"source":"ok, next kiro phase",
"action":"Accepted the presented amended requirements and design for task generation; task approval and implementation remain pending."
"action":"Accepted the generated task plan and authorized starting group 1 (1.1–1.4). Implementation started; tasks require independent review and fresh verification before completion."
"action":"Authorized continuing group 3 (3.1–3.4) after the group 3 next-step summary. Independent task review and fresh verification remain required."
"action":"Authorized group 5 after the group 4 completion summary: explicit transaction replay, then the first PMPro/frozen-core Node experiment. Review and fresh evidence remain required."
"action":"Authorized group 6 (6.1–6.4). Clarified complete preparation/discovery reuse after measured group 5 bottleneck; rollout gates remain unchanged. Manual Kiro review fallback remains necessary after a fresh agent dispatch hit the thread limit."
"action":"Authorized tasks 8.1–8.4 and their qualification work; preserve joint gates and record NO-GO wherever prerequisites or measurements do not pass. Fresh dispatch hit thread limit; manual Kiro fallback."

"action":"Added group 9 (M1a) to the approved task plan as the bounded owner amendment the milestone requires, implemented the task-local recorded-veto flag (9.1) and ran the three NodeGoat revisions (9.2). Diagnosis only: no capability enabled, no gate changed, rollout remains NO-GO."
"feasibility":"NO-GO: post-census profile measured all 21 cases; 18 timed out, three identical-tip replays completed in 18.521–18.874s with valid reuse; 0/24 target checks completed. Maximum cancellation/report overrun 0.874s. See 2026-09-14-nodegoat-post-census-feasibility.json.",
"result":"Raw <lambda>2 witnesses present at contributions.js 32-34; fixed twin analyzed and quiet (target question answered with zero rows, no deadline reason); unchanged revision recorded 'unchanged'. Five vetoes fired and were recorded. With all five lifted the detection stops at operation_correspondence_unresolved, a fifth veto not previously named. No defect admitted, no capability enabled."
"result":"Exit run recorded. All three pinned NodeGoat revisions classify through the production rules: vulnerable three sites new with operation_absent_from_comparable_base and admission rejecting on capability_unavailable alone; fixed twin analyzed and quiet with three base-only findings; unchanged recorded unchanged with base locations resolved. Every veto M1a listed is repaired, plus two the repairs exposed. Zero admitted defects.",
"remaining_gap":"The supported security consequence and concrete repair direction are not demonstrated. Both are owned by an evaluated capability declaration and the registry is deliberately empty. Task 10.10 renders them through an explicitly experimental declaration with eligibility still disabled; inventing the text is what admission exists to prevent."
"M1b: repair only the vetoes M1a showed to matter; rerun through production rules",
"M2: equivalent bounded runtime",
"M3: shared-language transfer",
"M4: independent qualification",
"M5: narrow advisory rollout"
],
"implementation_design_approval":"Existing approvals preserved; this records milestone order and exit criteria, not blanket approval of future design changes.",
"m1a_outcome":"Met inside the one-week box. Corrected the owner diagnosis: all four named vetoes fire, and operation correspondence for an operation on a changed line is the blocker that survives every other repair.",
