"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."
"finding":"The recorded view now reaches new on the vulnerable revision and unchanged on the unchanged revision. The last two vetoes cannot be scoped or relaxed soundly: a taint answer reports traced flows, so an absent row means either the operation does not exist or no flow reached it. The veto preventing that confusion is computed over every in-scope method and is always true on a real Express application, so it can neither be discharged nor safely removed. Task 10.4 exports the enumerated operation inventory separately from traced flows so absence is provable, and now precedes the two vetoes it unblocks."
"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.",
"m1b_position":"10.1-10.3 verified and measured; 10.4 operation inventory is the new prerequisite for 10.5 and 10.6."
