QA Review — MC #9658 reviewing #9655

QA Review — MC #9658 reviewing source task #9655

Date: 2026-07-28 Reviewer: John / pi-orchestrator Scope: Auto-generated QA review for completed MC #9655, titled [TEST-QA-PROVEO-E] DEPLOY bypass test — force flag.

Completion criterion for MC #9658: deliver a tool-verified audit/report artifact for the source task. A failing or NEEDS_WORK verdict on source task #9655 is a valid QA review outcome; it does not mean this review artifact failed.

Source task facts verified with tools

node ~/system/tools/mc.js show 9655 verified:

  • Source task: #9655
  • Status: done
  • Priority: H
  • Owner: proveo
  • Category: system
  • DOD evidence: QA test bypass
  • Agent output: QA test bypass

node ~/system/tools/mc.js history 9655 verified:

  • Created by john at 2026-04-27 16:35:03.
  • Started by john at 2026-04-27 16:36:36.
  • Moved ready for review by john at 2026-04-27 16:36:44 with note QA test bypass.
  • Forced completion by john at 2026-04-27 16:36:48.
  • The forced-completion record itself lists blocked/missing gates: QA-19 check required, GOTCHA file missing, hop-build not started, claim gate blocked because no trust labels, validator evidence missing, output contract missing, and PI2 deploy evidence missing.

QA-19 probe result

Command run:

node ~/system/tools/qa-19.js check 9655

Observed result in /tmp/alai/9658-review/probe.txt:

  • Score: 5/15.
  • Gate: PENDING.
  • Required for H priority: 15/15.
  • Failing checks included:
    • GOTCHA Written: /tmp/gotcha-task-9655.md not found.
    • Tools Checked: no evidence of tool check in GOTCHA.
    • Context Read: no context section in GOTCHA.
    • Build Passes: no build evidence and no hop-build marker.
    • Tests Pass: no test evidence.
    • Evidence Captured: /tmp/verify-9655 not found or empty.
    • Destination Verified: no destination verification evidence.
  • Manual checks still pending: Error Handling, Output Matches Spec, Self-Review, CEO Acceptance.

Artifact existence checks

The following required/evidence paths were checked and were absent:

MISSING /tmp/gotcha-task-9655.md
MISSING /tmp/verify-9655/validator-independent.json
MISSING /tmp/pi2-deploy-evidence-9655.json

Source-task QA verdict

Status for source MC #9655: NEEDS_WORK / NOT APPROVED AS PRODUCTION-QUALITY COMPLETION

Rationale:

  • #9655 is a High-priority source task, but current QA-19 evidence is incomplete (5/15, gate PENDING).
  • The only DOD/agent output is QA test bypass, which is not enough to prove build, test, deploy, validator, or destination verification.
  • The source task history confirms it was closed through forced completion while multiple gates were missing.

If #9655 was only an intentional bypass/force-flag harness test, no production remediation is required, but the test should be documented as such in the source task outcome. If it represented real deploy work, reopen or create a follow-up to supply the missing GOTCHA, build/test evidence, validator evidence, and PI2 deploy evidence before accepting the completion.
