QA Review MC #9665 — reviewing MC #9663

This BookStack page records the completion documentation for MC #9665. The durable evidence bundle is stored on disk at:

  • /Users/makinja/system/evidence/9665/qa-review-9663.md
  • /Users/makinja/system/evidence/9665/summary.json

Current tool verification on 2026-07-28 confirmed both files exist and summary.json is valid JSON. node ~/system/tools/qa-19.js check 9663 reports source task #9663 remains PENDING at 5/15. The source task is a [TEST-QA-PROVEO-*] smoke-test fixture, not a production deploy.


QA Review — MC #9665 (reviewing MC #9663)

Reviewer: John / pi-orchestrator (Proveo persona) Reviewed at (UTC): 2026-07-28T19:20Z Source task: #9663 — [TEST-QA-PROVEO-SHORT-SHA2] DEPLOY short-sha validation test 2 Source status: done (marked completed 2026-05-05 18:44:40) Source priority: H Source owner: proveo

What #9663 actually is

mc.js show 9663 confirms this is a synthetic smoke-test marker task, not a real production deploy:

  • Title: [TEST-QA-PROVEO-SHORT-SHA2] DEPLOY short-sha validation test 2
  • DoD Evidence: short sha test 2
  • Agent Output: short sha test 2
  • No project, no linked repo, no deploy target, no artifact path.

This review (#9665) is itself an auto-generated QA review spawned by the PI orchestrator's "task done" event hook, not a CEO-requested audit. Tool state at review time: ~/system/tools/mc.js reports [alai/config] Mock mode active — the environment backing this MC instance is a mock/test config, consistent with #9663's synthetic content.

QA-19 Gate Check (tool-verified)

Verdict

#9663: NEEDS_WORK / NOT APPROVED as a production-quality completion, on the same basis as the sibling smoke-test reviews (#9659 reviewing #9652, same 5/15 PENDING pattern). It was marked done with only a one-line placeholder ("short sha test 2") as evidence — no GOTCHA record, no build/test evidence, no destination verification.

However: given the task title's [TEST-QA-PROVEO-*] marker and the mock-mode config backing this MC instance, #9663 is assessed to be a deliberate harness/smoke-test fixture used to validate the QA-review auto-generation pipeline itself (John -> Proveo -> qa-19 gate -> evidence write), not a real deploy that shipped without QA. No production risk is implied by the FAIL/PENDING gate result. No further remediation of #9663 is warranted; this verdict exists to keep the MC record tool-verified rather than fabricated.
