BookStack task lifecycle enforcement — ANVIL Claude Code

BookStack task lifecycle enforcement — ANVIL Claude Code

Status: PRE-WORK / implementation in progress
Date: 2026-08-21
Scope: /Users/makinja/system and the active Claude Code hook configuration on ANVIL

Mission Control: #900118

Problem

The active Claude Code configuration did not enforce the operating requirement that task documentation be read before work and updated after work. The task-scoped pilot-discover-inject.py path returned immediately when MC_TASK_ID was present, mc.js start only warned for a subset of tasks, and mc.js done accepted an unverified URL string in free text.

Before-work plan

  1. Add a deterministic BookStack task-page verifier that uses the BookStack API, accepts only canonical https://docs.alai.no/... pages, and checks task-specific lifecycle markers.
  2. Make mc.js start fail closed for every real MC task unless its linked page exists and contains a task-specific BEFORE marker.
  3. Make mc.js ready and mc.js done fail closed unless the same page contains the AFTER marker and its API updated_at is newer than the baseline captured at start.
  4. Store the API verification timestamps/page identity on the MC task so a pasted URL or unrelated old page cannot satisfy the gate.
  5. Repair task-scoped context injection so the linked BookStack page content is placed in front of the worker instead of being skipped.
  6. Add bidirectional tests: valid lifecycle passes; missing URL, wrong host, missing marker, stale page, changed page, and API failure block.
  7. Re-run the hook inventory and targeted negative tests; list residual hook problems honestly instead of claiming all hooks are healthy.

Acceptance criteria

  • BEFORE proof is mandatory before the task can transition to active work.
  • AFTER proof is mandatory before review/completion.
  • Free-text docs.alai.no mentions do not satisfy completion.
  • API failure is UNKNOWN and blocks lifecycle transitions; it is never treated as PASS.
  • Tests do not contact or mutate production BookStack or the live Mission Control database.

After-work results

Pending implementation and independent verification.
