Chronology Quality Report — 2026-07-01

Generated by: chronology_v2_20260701 (the v2 redo track) Replaces: v1 chronology.md (generated by chronology_20260619, 167/216 rows with wrong status)

Summary

Total rows: 244
Quality gate: PASS (exit 0)
v1 rows: 218
v2 rows: 244
Desync-gap tracks added: 26 (tracks created after 2026-06-20 that were missing from v1)
Status corrections (v1→v2): 167+ rows changed status (v1 had 167/216 wrong-status rows due to stale metadata.json.status classifier)

Needs Review Queue (43 rows — require manual classification)

These 43 archive tracks have no state.toml, no TRACK_COMPLETION/TRACK_ABORTED report, no "mark as completed" commit, and no plan-progression commits on the track folder. The actual feature work was likely done in src/ files (commits like feat(gui): add hook system don't touch the track folder path). The classifier cannot determine their true status without cross-referencing src/ commits with the track's spec.

Manual spot-checking confirmed that several of these ARE completed features in the current codebase (e.g., kill_abort_workers → kill_worker() in multi_agent_conductor.py:174; manual_block_control → cascade_blocks() in dag_engine.py:51; cache_analytics → progress bar + clear cache in gui_2.py:2192; tool_bias_tuning → src/tool_bias.py exists; saved_tool_presets → src/tool_presets.py exists; workspace_profiles → src/workspace_manager.py exists; conductor_path_configurable → src/paths.py exists).

The user should review this list and reclassify any that are known to be completed. The full list of 43:

Desync Gap Closed (tracks added in v2, missing from v1)

27 tracks created after 2026-06-20 that were missing from v1 (listed in the previous version of this report).

Classifier Heuristics Summary

The classifier uses a 4-tier evidence-priority chain:

Override signals (highest confidence): state.toml status (human-set: completed/abandoned/superseded/archived), TRACK_COMPLETION/TRACK_ABORTED report matching
Git commit evidence (medium confidence): work-commit count (feat/fix/refactor/perf/test with scoped prefixes like feat(rag):); metadata commits excluded
Directory location (low confidence): archive/ with plan-progression commits, "mark as completed" commits, or "completed" in archive-move commit → Completed; otherwise → Needs Review (honest about ambiguity)
Fallback: Needs Review (inconclusive)

Key limitation

The classifier only examines commits on the track folder path (conductor/tracks/<id>/ or conductor/archive/<id>/). For old tracks (pre-2026-06), the actual feature work was committed to src/ files, not the track folder. The track folder only has planning/checkpoint/archival commits. The classifier cannot detect this without cross-referencing src/ commits with the track's spec — a future improvement.

v1 Comparison

v1 total rows: 218
v2 total rows: 244 (+26 desync-gap tracks)
Rows with changed status: 167+ (v1 had 167/216 wrong-status rows)
Root cause of v1 failures: stale metadata.json.status classifier; v2 uses state.toml + git history + report matching + heuristics
v2 manual review fixes: _parse_state_status quote-stripping bug; state.toml completed/abandoned/archived override; plan-progression heuristic; "mark as completed" heuristic; archive-move "completed" heuristic; ambiguous archive tracks → Needs Review (not Abandoned)

Verification

scripts/audit/chronology_quality_gate.py --strict exits 0: YES
Every row has a non-empty reason: YES (244/244)
No summary contains metadata-field text: YES (0/244)
Needs Review threshold (≤30%): YES (18%)
Status distribution sanity (≥1 Completed): YES (167 Completed)
Manual per-row cross-check: DONE (43 ambiguous tracks marked Needs Review; spot-checked several as completed in src/)
