"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":"Every veto M1a recorded is repaired. The production comparison classifies all three pinned NodeGoat revisions with no lifting: vulnerable new with the three eval witnesses attributed to the change, fixed twin analyzed and quiet with three base-only findings, unchanged recorded unchanged. Production and the recorded view agree exactly. Zero admitted defects; admission rejects on capability_unavailable, the deliberate eligibility gate, and dependency_unresolved, recorded as task 10.7."
"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":"Comparison verified through production rules on NodeGoat; 10.7 dependency-gap binding, 10.8 provenance and 10.9 the recorded rerun remain before M1b is verified."
