metadata.json: standard track metadata (15 fields per the
live_gui_test_fixes_20260618 precedent; includes scope,
depends_on, blocks, out_of_scope, tolerated_at_run_time,
test_summary, verification_criteria, 10 risks).
state.toml: initial state (status=active, current_phase=0;
14 phases pending; 19 verification flags all false).
TIER2_STARTUP.md: the per-track readme for the Tier 2 agent.
Track-specific supplement to conductor/tier2/agents/tier2-autonomous.md.
Covers: what to load (plan_v2.md first, spec_v2.md second;
do NOT load v1 spec/plan), hard bans (3-layer), conventions,
TDD protocol, per-task commit protocol, pre-delegation
checkpoint, failcount contract, 8 known gotchas, verification
protocol, end-of-track handoff, out-of-scope restatement.
EXPLICITLY NOTES:
- any_type_componentization_20260621 + phase2_4_5_call_site_completion_20260621
are NOT on master (merged f914b2bc, reverted 751b94d4).
v2 audit is tolerant of their absence.
- The 3 candidate aggregates (ToolSpec, ChatMessage,
ProviderHistory) are forward-compat placeholders with
is_candidate: True. The integration tests verify the
placeholder format (synthesize_aggregate_profile() in
Phase 9 Task 9.2 has the template hard-coded).
- The 1-line extension to scripts/audit_optional_in_3_files.py
is the audit gate; skipping Phase 12 Task 12.2 leaves the
new file uncovered by the Optional[T] ban.
Total v2 artifacts (committed):
- spec_v2.md (460 lines)
- plan_v2.md (5006 lines)
- metadata.json
- state.toml
- TIER2_STARTUP.md
Re-scopes the audit from 'expensive operations per action' (v1) to
'data pipelines per aggregate' (v2). The v1 framing was correct
2026-06-07 (the 4 foundational tracks were future) but is now
stale; v2 also cross-validates the data_structure_strengthening
+ data_oriented_error_handling deductions directly.
10 in-scope aggregates (Metadata, FileItem, FileItems,
CommsLogEntry, CommsLog, HistoryMessage, History, ToolDefinition,
ToolCall, Result[T]) + 3 candidate aggregates (ToolSpec,
ChatMessage, ProviderHistory; forward-compat placeholders for
any_type_componentization_20260621 which is NOT on master).
4 static analyses: PCG (3 AST passes), MemoryDim classifier,
APD (5 access patterns), CFE (7 frequencies). 11 public
functions, all return Result[T] per error_handling.md hard rule.
Decomposition-cost heuristic per aggregate answers: 'should
this data be componentize further (split) or unify further
(wider fat structs)?' 4 directions: componentize, unify, hold,
insufficient_data. 10-phase TDD plan, 69 tests total.
Consumes JSON from 6 existing audit scripts (cross-validates
data_structure_strengthening + data_oriented_error_handling).
Out-of-scope: runtime profiling (deferred to
pipeline_runtime_profiling_20260607), MMA worker spawn (cold).
v1 spec.md + plan.md preserved unchanged.
Per the Tier 2 convention, throwaway scripts are committed as archival
artifacts so future agents can understand what was tried during the track.
7 scripts:
- verify_test_format.py: AST + indentation check for new test file
- _check_line_endings.py: CRLF vs LF diagnostic
- _find_tracks_line.py: locate line 27 entry in tracks.md
- _verify_line_66.py: verify new line 66 content
- _update_tracks_md.py: programmatic update of line 27
- _update_state_toml.py: programmatic update of state.toml
- _fix_state_toml_crlf.py: restore CRLF after edits
