From 0e9764368fe3f4ce27a13733e9220d8d73fbaa02 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Julien CHABLE Date: Fri, 28 Aug 2026 11:41:05 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 01/27] docs(verify): design spec for okf verify, closing the audit loop MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit okf audit produces a worklist and nothing writes the field it selects on: every finding is a dead end. okf verify records a review — a dated { by, at } stamp — as the single governed writer of `verified`, wired to audit's output via stdin. The design rests on decisions taken explicitly during brainstorming, with an independent second opinion integrated: a stamp is a declaration, not a proof (credibility comes from landing in a reviewed diff, never from inferring it off a PR approval — that mechanism mass-promotes and empties the worklist); no guard on okf_write_concept and a CLI-symmetric agent tool (user decisions, documented consequences); verified is the latest stamp per actor, neither a log nor a state; conformance-level validation on write, so a reviewer can stamp a concept a third party left without a description; no --all, no --stale-after, ids only. Three code facts condition everything and are cited: DeriveTier ignores `at`, MaybeStampGenerated never refreshes, and okf_write_concept can already write any stamp — the gap was never "no writer" but "no governed writer beside an ungoverned one".

Objectif + +`okf audit` (spec du 2026-08-21) a donné au bundle sa première question +corpus-level : *« quels concepts ont dépassé leur `stale_after` sans qu'un humain +les ait jamais relus ? »*. Il rend une worklist — mais cette worklist n'a pas de +sortie. Le champ `verified` (§5.2), dont §5.3 dérive mécaniquement le tier de +confiance et dont `okf audit` dérive toute sa sélection, n'a **aucun chemin +d'écriture gouverné** : la seule façon d'enregistrer une relecture est d'éditer +le YAML à la main ou de réécrire un frontmatter entier via `okf_write_concept`. +Résultat : personne ne le fait, rien n'est jamais vérifié, et chaque finding +d'audit est un constat sans remède. + +`okf verify` est le geste qui referme la boucle : constat → relecture → +estampille → le concept change de tier au passage d'audit suivant. + +```sh +okf audit b --stale --trust unverified,machine-confirmed \ + | cut -d' ' -f1 \ + | okf verify b --by human:julien - +``` + +— la question de l'article et sa réponse, jointes en une ligne. La friction que +cette feature supprime est celle d'*enregistrer* la relecture ; la *relecture* +elle-même n'a jamais été automatisable, et tout design qui automatise +l'enregistrement sans la relecture produit la promotion de masse qui vide la +worklist (voir §2 et §10). + +### 1.1 Trois faits du code qui conditionnent le design + +Vérifiés dans la base, pas supposés : + +- **Une estampille exprime deux choses et rien d'autre.** + `Stamp(Actor? By, string? At)` ([Trust.cs:7](../../../src/OKF4net/Trust.cs#L7)) : + pas de sujet, pas de portée, pas de liaison au contenu relu. +- **Le tier ignore la date.** `Trust.DeriveTier` est `Any(IsHuman)` + ([Trust.cs:38-46](../../../src/OKF4net/Trust.cs#L38-L46)) — une estampille + humaine de 2019 vaut `human-reviewed` pour toujours. Notre propre golden le + montre : `metrics/dau` y est à la fois `human-reviewed` et dans la worklist. +- **Rien ne dit quand un contenu a bougé.** `MaybeStampGenerated` n'écrit + `generated` que s'il est **absent** + ([BundleConceptWriter.cs:565-574](../../../src/OKF4net/BundleConceptWriter.cs#L565-L574)) ; + toute mise à jour le reporte inchangé. + +Conséquence assumée partout dans cette spec : une estampille atteste **un moment, +pas une version** du contenu. La question « le contenu a-t-il bougé depuis la +relecture ? » se répond hors bibliothèque, par +`git log -1 --format=%cI -- ` comparé à `max(verified[].at)` — le dossier +est canonique et son historique est celui de git, pas du YAML. **Aucune extension +de schéma** (`digest`, `scope`, `note` dans l'estampille) ne sera acceptée pour +recréer cette information dans le bundle ; c'est la réponse sanctionnée, à +documenter pour qu'elle ne soit pas re-proposée. + +## 2. Le modèle de confiance — décisions actées + +Ces décisions ont été prises explicitement par l'utilisateur pendant le +brainstorming ; elles priment sur toute intuition contraire d'un implémenteur. + +**Une estampille est une déclaration datée et signée, pas une preuve.** Aucun +outil zéro-dépendance ne peut authentifier qui l'a écrite : pas de crypto, pas +de fournisseur d'identité. `--by human:quelquun-dautre` est possible et le +restera. Ce qui rend une estampille crédible, c'est **où elle atterrit** — dans +un diff relu sous protection de branche — pas l'outil qui l'a produite. Le +mécanisme recommandé (documentation, pas code) : le relecteur ou l'auteur lance +`okf verify` localement, la PR contient la ligne +`+ - { by: human:alice, at: … }`, le relecteur voit l'affirmation et peut la +refuser. **Jamais** l'inverse — inférer l'estampille d'une approbation GitHub +transforme « un humain a approuvé ce diff » en « un humain se porte garant de +cette connaissance », deux choses différentes chaque fois qu'une PR touche un +fichier pour une autre raison que le relire (c'est-à-dire presque toujours). + +**Pas de garde sur `okf_write_concept`** (décision utilisateur, 2026-08-28). +`okf_write_concept` écrit un frontmatter complet, estampilles comprises : c'est +son contrat — importer un bundle, corriger un concept, reporter une relecture +existante en font partie. Le brider sur `verified` le casserait pour ces usages +légitimes, et ce n'est pas à un outil d'écriture générique de porter une +politique de confiance. En contrepartie, la documentation dit sans détour que ce +chemin existe. + +**Le tool agent `okf_verify` est symétrique au CLI** (décision utilisateur, +2026-08-28) : mêmes acteurs acceptés, `human:` compris. Cohérence du modèle — +si l'estampille est une déclaration, un agent n'a pas moins le droit de la +transcrire qu'un shell. La conséquence est documentée, pas cachée : un modèle +*peut* écrire une estampille `human:` ; c'est le diff relu qui fait foi. +Symétrie oblige, `okf_verify` est un tool **mutateur** : il entre dans +`WriteToolNames` et disparaît d'un déploiement MCP read-only. + +**Ce que la v1 garantit, et rien de plus** : toute estampille écrite par cette +chaîne d'outils est bien formée (§7), datée en UTC, porte exactement sur les +concepts nommés par l'appelant, et atterrit dans un fichier que git versionne. +Ce qu'elle ne garantit pas — l'identité réelle du signataire, le fait qu'il ait +lu quoi que ce soit — est annoncé comme hors de portée, dans le README et dans +l'aide du verbe. + +## 3. Périmètre + +**Dans le périmètre** — trois unités, une par couche : + +1. `BundleConceptWriter.RecordVerification` + le primitif atomique de + read-modify-write sur le **frontmatter** (il n'existe aujourd'hui que pour le + corps). +2. Le verbe CLI `okf verify`. +3. Le tool agent `okf_verify` (mutateur). + +**Hors périmètre, consigné au ROADMAP** (voir §10 pour les raisons) : l'audit +conscient du temps (exposer les estampilles dans `AuditFinding` pour demander +« human-reviewed, mais depuis quand ? ») ; toute GitHub Action ; `--remove` ; +`--json` ; `--stale-after` ; toute amélioration de l'émetteur YAML. + +## 4. Unité 1 — le cœur + +### 4.1 API publique + +Méthode ajoutée à `BundleConceptWriter` (classe existante) : + +```csharp + /// + /// Enregistre une relecture : ajoute ou remplace l'entrée `verified` de + /// l'acteur sur le concept, en préservant tout le + /// reste du frontmatter et le corps. Erreurs rendues en chaîne (errors-as- + /// data), null en cas de succès — même contrat que WriteConcept. + /// + /// L'id du concept (chemin sans .md). + /// L'acteur §7, requis, bien formé. + /// Horodatage ISO-8601 UTC ; null ⇒ UtcNow formaté. + public string? RecordVerification(string conceptId, string by, string? at = null); +``` + +Un seul écrivain gouverné, appelé par le CLI et par le tool — le partage retenu +pour `ConceptAudit` (calcul commun, présentations distinctes) s'applique ici à +l'écriture. + +### 4.2 Sémantique, point par point + +- **Dernière estampille par acteur — ni journal, ni état.** Si `verified` + contient déjà une entrée dont `by` est **textuellement identique** (comparaison + ordinale du `Raw`) à l'acteur donné, cette entrée est réécrite **en place** + (position préservée — `YamlMapping.Insert` sait déjà le faire pour une clé + existante) ; sinon l'entrée `{ by, at }` est ajoutée en fin de liste. + L'écrivain ne touche **jamais** l'entrée d'un autre acteur : un `process:` + ne peut pas dégrader une relecture humaine en la remplaçant. Pourquoi pas un + journal : l'émetteur YAML coûte trois lignes par estampille et le frontmatter + part dans le contexte des agents à chaque lecture — un vérificateur + `process:nightly` quotidien produirait ~1100 lignes par concept et par an. + Pourquoi pas un état (liste remplacée) : le modèle est pluriel par + construction (`DeriveTier` est un `Any`) et remplacer effacerait le jugement + des autres acteurs. Ce qui est perdu — la cadence des relectures — a déjà sa + place : `log.md` (§9). +- **Convention d'écrivain, pas règle de lecteur.** §5.2 décrit une liste et ne + dit rien de l'unicité par acteur. `ParseVerified` continue d'accepter les + doublons de tout autre producteur — même asymétrie strict-en-entrée / + permissif-en-lecture que la spec d'audit §4.1. +- **Validation à l'écriture : conformité §11, pas mode producteur.** + `RecordVerification` appelle `ValidateConformance()` (type non vide, + [OkfDocument.cs:158](../../../src/OKF4net/OkfDocument.cs#L158)), **pas** + `Validate()`. Divergence délibérée avec `WriteConcept` : `verify` ne produit + pas de contenu, il enregistre la relecture d'un contenu qu'il n'a pas écrit ; + refuser d'enregistrer parce qu'un tiers a omis une `description` substituerait + une politique éditoriale au jugement du relecteur — et rendrait inestampillable + précisément les concepts que la worklist remonte. +- **`by` : requis, bien formé.** `Actor.Parse(by).IsWellFormed` doit être vrai — + la chaîne `human:` nue (qui promeut pourtant le tier, `IsHuman` étant + insensible à la bonne formation) est rejetée à l'écriture. Strict en entrée, + permissif en lecture, comme partout. +- **`at` : toujours écrit.** Fourni ⇒ validé par + `BundleValidator.IsIso8601DateTime` (le prédicat du validateur lui-même, pour + que `verify` ne puisse jamais écrire ce que `validate` avertirait) ; absent ⇒ + `OkfTimestamp.FormatUtc(UtcNow())` via le seam d'horloge existant du writer + ([BundleConceptWriter.cs:81](../../../src/OKF4net/BundleConceptWriter.cs#L81)), + donc épinglable en test. +- **`generated` n'est jamais touché.** Ni écrit, ni rafraîchi : une relecture + n'est pas une génération, et la rafraîchir maquillerait la question « le + contenu a-t-il bougé depuis ? » (§1.1). +- **Atomicité.** Nouveau primitif privé de read-modify-write sur le + frontmatter, calqué sur `AppendToConceptAtomic` + ([BundleConceptWriter.cs:347](../../../src/OKF4net/BundleConceptWriter.cs#L347)) : + lecture, transformation, écriture sous une même détention du verrou par + chemin. Deux `verify` concurrents sur le même concept ne peuvent pas se + perdre une estampille. Les clés inconnues survivent (le `YamlMapping` ordonné + garantit déjà le round-trip). +- **Erreurs-as-data.** Concept introuvable, id malformé, document non conforme, + `by`/`at` invalides ⇒ chaîne d'erreur, jamais d'exception pour un cas attendu. + +## 5. Unité 2 — le verbe CLI + +### 5.1 Grammaire + +``` +okf verify … --by [--at ] [--dry-run] +okf verify - --by # ids lus sur stdin, un par ligne +``` + +| Élément | Règle | +|---|---| +| `…` | Un ou plusieurs ids **explicites**.

Pas de mélange `-` + ids explicites. | +| `--by` | Requis, valué, acteur §7 bien formé. Aucun défaut, aucune variable d'environnement, aucune lecture de git config : l'outil n'invente jamais un auteur. | +| `--at` | Optionnel, valué, ISO-8601 ; défaut : UTC maintenant. Sert la transcription différée (CI future) et les goldens déterministes. | +| `--dry-run` | Affiche ce qui serait écrit, n'écrit rien, code 0. | + +Le parsing passe par `CliArgs.Scan(args, "--by", "--at")` — les flags valués +déclarés au scan, le séparateur `--` honoré, comme pour les huit verbes +existants. **Tout-ou-rien** : les ids sont tous validés (existence, bonne forme) +avant la première écriture ; un id inconnu fait échouer la commande entière sans +rien écrire. + +**Pourquoi pas de forme groupée** : `verify` et `validate` diffèrent de deux +lettres et signifient l'inverse (conformité machine / endossement humain). Un +`okf verify monbundle` mal tapé doit échouer bruyamment (`error: missing +`) plutôt que faire quelque chose de plausible. Et une forme `--all` +est le geste exact de la promotion de masse : lancée une fois à l'onboarding, +elle vide la worklist pour toujours et ressemble à un succès. + +**Pourquoi pas `--stale-after`** : une commande qui à la fois affirme la +relecture et fait taire le détecteur est un bouton de renouvellement. La doc du +verbe répond explicitement à « comment sortir ce concept de la worklist de +péremption ? » : mettez à jour le contenu, puis son `stale_after` — deux gestes, +volontairement. + +### 5.2 Sortie + +Une ligne par concept, dans l'ordre donné, formulée comme un **enregistrement** +(« recorded »), pas comme une vérification — le verbe s'appelle `verify` par +fidélité au vocabulaire du champ (`verified`) et du tier (`human-reviewed`), +mais sa sortie ne surjoue pas ce qu'il fait : + +``` +recorded metrics/revenue human:julien 2026-08-28T09:14:00Z +``` + +En `--dry-run`, `would record` remplace `recorded`. Aucune autre sortie sur +stdout. Quand l'acteur avait déjà une entrée, la ligne porte le suffixe +` (replaces 2026-07-01T00:00:00Z)` — le remplacement est visible, pas +silencieux. + +### 5.3 Codes de retour et messages exacts + +- **0** : succès (y compris `--dry-run`) ; **1** : erreur d'invocation, id + inconnu, bundle illisible — via `CliOperationException`, rendue `error: …`. + +| Cas | stderr | +|---|---| +| aucun id | `error: missing ` | +| `--by` absent | `error: verify requires --by ` | +| `--by` sans valeur | `error: --by requires a value` (contrat `CliArgs`) | +| `--by` mal formé | `error: --by is not a well-formed §7 actor: "human:"` | +| `--at` invalide | `error: --at is not ISO-8601: "hier"` | +| id inconnu | `error: unknown concept "metrics/nope"` (et rien n'est écrit) | +| `-` mélangé à des ids | `error: "-" (stdin) cannot be combined with explicit concept ids` | + +### 5.4 Le reflow, assumé et documenté + +Écrire via le modèle ré-émet tout le frontmatter : sur un bundle écrit à la +main, le premier `verify` produit un diff de fichier entier pour un changement +d'une ligne (styles flow → block, commentaires supprimés — le parseur les +ignore). Décision v1 : **accepter et documenter** — passer `okf fmt -w` sur le +bundle une fois, en PR dédiée, après quoi les diffs de `verify` sont minimaux. +Rejeté explicitement : un patcheur textuel chirurgical de `verified`, qui +recréerait le second chemin d'écriture divergent que `BundleConceptWriter` +existe pour éliminer, en contournant verrous, gardes de reparse et validation. +L'amélioration de l'émetteur (séquences inline) est une piste séparée, au +ROADMAP. + +## 6.

Alternatives écartées + +**A. GitHub Action qui estampille les fichiers touchés par une PR approuvée.** +L'idée d'origine de l'article — écartée comme mécanisme : « touché par un commit +approuvé » n'est pas « lu et endossé par une personne ». Un `okf fmt -w` +bundle-wide, une régénération d'index ou un bump de `stale_after` promouvrait +tout le corpus au tier maximal, et la worklist vide ressemblerait à un succès. +Le lieu (la review) était le bon ; le mécanisme retenu est d'inverser le sens : +l'estampille est *dans* le diff qu'on approuve. + +**B. Garde sur `okf_write_concept`** (refuser d'introduire une estampille +`human:` absente du disque). Proposée par le second avis, écartée par décision +utilisateur : le tool réécrit des frontmatters entiers par contrat, et une +politique de confiance n'appartient pas à un écrivain générique. Compensation : +documentation explicite, et le modèle « déclaration, pas preuve » assumé +jusqu'au bout. + +**C. Tool agent interdit de `human:`** (ou pas de tool du tout). Écartée par la +même décision : symétrie complète avec le CLI. L'asymétrie aurait été une +demi-mesure — la voie `okf_write_concept` restant ouverte à côté. + +**D. `verified` comme journal (append toujours) ou comme état (remplacement +total).** Écartées toutes deux — §4.2. Retenu : dernière estampille par acteur. + +**E. `--stale-after` dans la v1.** Le point que le second avis donnait lui-même +comme le plus contestable de sa proposition. Écarté : affirmer la relecture et +faire taire le détecteur dans le même geste fabrique un bouton de renouvellement. +Coupé **en le disant** : la réponse à « comment sortir de la worklist » est dans +la doc, pas dans un flag. + +**F. Renommer le verbe (`review`, `attest`, `sign`).** Plus honnêtes en +apparence, écartés : `attest` collisionne avec le vocabulaire §10, `sign` +surpromet (pas de crypto), et s'éloigner du nom du champ (`verified`) et du tier +(`human-reviewed`) violerait la règle « un seul vocabulaire partout ». Le nom +reste `verify` ; l'honnêteté est payée dans la sortie (« recorded ») et la doc. + +**G. Patcheur textuel du frontmatter pour des diffs minimaux.** Écarté — §5.4 : +second chemin d'écriture divergent, exactement ce que `BundleConceptWriter` +existe pour empêcher. + +**H. Faire l'audit conscient du temps d'abord.** Défendable (aucun chemin +d'écriture requis, et il corrige l'alibi permanent), mais il raffine le constat +sans donner de sortie à la worklist. Ordonné juste derrière, au ROADMAP. From 9a085108e27f95dcbdfe01462984ce7e471cf1d5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Julien CHABLE Date: Fri, 28 Aug 2026 11:48:29 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 02/27] docs(verify): fix five defects found reviewing the spec against the code MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Read line by line against the source rather than re-read as prose. All five were verified in the code, not inferred: - The grammar `okf verify …` is inexpressible today: CliArgs holds a single `string? _positional`. Every existing verb takes exactly one positional, so nothing had needed more. Added as unit 0, with the honest note that the positional *list* existed and I collapsed it during a /simplify pass six days ago — correct then, and restoring it does not undo that. - OkfCli.Run takes stdout and stderr only, and nothing in the CLI reads Console.In. The `-` form is the feature's headline, and the suite drives the CLI in-process, so without a stdin seam the most important path would be the one path no test covers. Signature change, acted as a breaking change with a CHANGELOG entry. - The per-actor replacement cited YamlMapping.Insert, a mapping API, to justify replacing a stamp inside a sequence. YamlSequence is immutable: the sequence is rebuilt and re-inserted under the key. Two levels, two mechanisms — the spec now says so. - BundleConceptWriter.UtcNow is documented as consulted only when AutoStampGenerated is set; RecordVerification broadens that. Deliberate (one clock in the writer), so the XML doc must change with it. - "verify and validate differ by two letters" was simply false.

Self-review fixed three internal inconsistencies before the plan left my hands, all of the same family — code that cited an API it could not reach, or contradicted its own tests: - VerificationOutcome had no `At`, yet both consumers needed the timestamp actually written: OkfTimestamp is internal to OKF4net, so neither the CLI nor the Agents assembly can format one. The record now reports it; the agent tool passes `at` straight through. - CmdVerify validated --by before resolving the ids, which contradicted its own Theory: `verify ` with no id must say "missing ", not complain about --by. Values are now read first (so an unvalued flag still names itself) and validated after the ids. - Task 2's dry-run printed a timestamp it would never write. The plan also records the one deliberate behaviour change it forces: with several positionals, "the token after -- wins" stops making sense, so -- becomes POSIX's "end of options" and keeps what came before it.

All three reproduced before fixing: - A lone `-` is swallowed as a flag: CliArgs' flag branch is `token.StartsWith('-')`, which `"-"` matches, so it never reaches the positional list. `okf fmt -` today answers `error: missing `. The stdin form — the line that closes the audit loop — was therefore unreachable, and both its tests would have asserted the wrong thing. Guarded on `token.Length > 1`; third CHANGELOG entry. - The golden did not match what the plan's own code emits: okf_v02/metrics/dau.md already carries a human:ada stamp, so verifying it takes the replace path and the line gains "(replaces …)". Corrected — and the golden is better for it, pinning both paths at once. - A test asserted `title: Orders` while formatting users.md, whose title is Users. Two "high" findings were about promises the code did not keep: the agent tool looped over ids writing as it went, so a bad third id left the first two stamped, contradicting the spec's "all-or-nothing"; and the CLI's pre-flight checked existence only, while a document with no `type` loads fine and is refused at write time. Both now resolve every id before the first write, with a test each. The audit also demolished a rationale I had written three times: OkfTimestamp is NOT out of reach — OKF4net grants InternalsVisibleTo to both `okf` and OKF4net.Agents. The `At` field survives on its real merit (one clock, held by the writer that tests pin), not on a false constraint.

All five were verified in the code before acting. The heaviest is a design fix, not a patch. All-or-nothing was a pre-flight in each caller followed by sequential writes, so a second document that turned out unreadable still left the first stamped — and the agent tool had no pre-flight at all. The core now exposes ONE batch method, RecordVerifications, that resolves, reads, parses, validates and prepares every concept before writing any of them, under a single hold of the lock. Both consumers inherit the guarantee instead of each re-implementing half of it, and there is no single-concept variant to keep in step. The residual limit — an in-process lock, no multi-file atomic write — is documented rather than implied. The other four: - Using BundleValidator.IsIso8601DateTime as a WRITE gate was my own mistake, and the same one the spec warns about elsewhere: that predicate validates the date and ignores everything after the `T` (Validate.cs:618) because reading frontmatter is deliberately permissive. It would have written `2026-08-28` or a +02:00 offset as a stamp the field documents as UTC. Strict parse now, with the escaped 'T'/'Z' format string, plus date-only and offset cases. - The tool rendered the writer's prose while the spec asks for the CLI's exact line; both now emit `recorded `, asserted by equality rather than Contains. - The golden compared stdout only, so a run printing the right line and writing the wrong stamp stayed green. A second golden pins the written file. - The core preservation test checked substrings; it now compares the key list, the body and the parsed stamp. The `generated` test could not fail at all — AutoStampGenerated defaults to false — so it now also exercises the configuration OkfBundleTools actually uses. Also fixed while there: an AIFunction.InvokeAsync assertion written in flow style when the emitter writes block style, and a Task 0 red step that could never be observed.

Four were blocking. The deepest is a claim I had no right to make. "All-or-nothing" was true of validation and false of writing: N files cannot be written atomically in .NET, so a failure on the third leaves the first two stamped — and I returned Recorded=false with an empty Records, which actively told the caller nothing had happened. The guarantee is now stated for what it is (rejected as a whole before the first byte; not a transaction), and a mid-batch write failure reports what did land, in Records and by name in the message. A caller must read Records, not just Recorded — the type says so. The other three blockers were mechanical and are the reason this pass exists: `CultureInfo`/`DateTimeStyles` used without `using System.Globalization` (not an implicit using here, as Audit.cs and Lifecycle.cs show); XML crefs still naming the singular RecordVerification, which GenerateDocumentationFile + warnings-as-errors turns into a build error; and a `/* the version's argument shape */` placeholder in the AIFunction invocation test — inexcusable, since the exact call already exists at AIFunctionExposureTests.cs:223. The spec was left describing the API and the validation of two drafts ago, so it now carries the batch contract, its honest limits, the duplicate rejection, and the strict UTC rule — with the reason the permissive IsIso8601DateTime is the wrong gate for a writer. Also: the second golden was never declared in the file inventory nor in the fixtures README provenance, and the red step's expected failure named the wrong symptom (the separator overwrites the positional, so the bundle path is lost — it does not print JSON).

CRITICAL: Records was populated in the PREPARE loop, so a batch rejected during prepare (unknown id, unparseable document, failed ValidateConformance) reported concepts as recorded that were never written to disk. Records is now built in the WRITE loop, one entry per successful write, with no separate trim/rollback step to keep in sync. 2. Pinned the deliberate divergence from BundleValidator.IsIso8601DateTime by testing a bare date and a non-UTC offset, not just a garbage string, as invalid `at` values. 3. Added a two-concept batch test where the second concept fails validation, asserting the first file is left untouched and Records is empty -- the actual reason this method is a batch. 4. A null element in conceptIds no longer throws NullReferenceException out of ConceptId.Parse; guarded up front like WriteConcept's own id checks. 5. The duplicate-id guard now compares resolved target paths with OrdinalIgnoreCase instead of raw id strings with Ordinal, so two case-variant spellings of the same concept collide too, matching the BundleLocks registry's own reasoning. 6. Finished the truncated PREPARE-loop comment. 7. BuildConformantContent now returns the serialized content directly instead of an (Content, Error) pair whose Error half was dead code.

IMPORTANT: no test drove a genuine write-phase partial failure through CmdVerify. Swapping the outcome.Records print loop and the !outcome.Recorded throw still passed every existing test -- the exact contract fixed once already in the core (b25553b) had no regression coverage at the verb layer. Added Verify_prints_the_records_that_landed_before_a_later_write_failure, which makes a batch's SECOND concept file genuinely unwritable (read-only) before invoking the verb, so the first concept's write really lands on disk while the second fails -- no internal test hook needed (CmdVerify builds its own private BundleConceptWriter that a test has no handle to, so BeforeLateReparseCheckForTest is reachable only from the core, not from here). Verified by mutation: applying the reviewer's exact swap made the new test fail (stdout empty instead of carrying the "recorded metrics/dau" line); reverting made it pass again. 2. Minor: the writer was constructed before the --dry-run check, so a dry run built one it never used. Moved past the branch.

Subject: [PATCH 19/27] docs(verify): correct stale tool counts on the Agents
 and MCP doc pages

web/src/pages/docs/Agents.tsx and Mcp.tsx still said "ten tools (eleven
when wired)" -- stale even before this branch, since neither page picked
up last week's okf_audit addition. Bump to twelve/thirteen, add the
missing okf_audit and okf_verify rows to both tool tables (previously
absent entirely), and fix the MCP read-only counts (eight read tools,
four writers). Also corrects two counts on the docs index page
(nine okf commands, twelve agent tools) found by the same sweep.

Subject: [PATCH 20/27] docs(verify): fix producer-grade overclaim, worklist
 overclaim, and add reserialization caveat

Two important findings from review, both proven by running the binary:

- okf_verify does NOT apply producer-grade validation (only S11
  conformance, deliberately -- RecordVerifications' own doc comment says
  why: refusing a reviewer over a missing description would make exactly
  the concepts an audit surfaces unstampable). Split the "write tools
  validate producer-grade rules" claim in both OKF4net.Agents/README.md
  and OKF4net.Mcp/README.md so okf_verify is described accurately.
- "closes / leaves the audit worklist" overclaimed: verification only
  moves the trust dimension: staleness is untouched, so a just-reviewed
  concept can still appear in audit's default (stale-only) worklist.
  Rescoped to "clears the unverified worklist, not staleness" (or the
  prose equivalent) in README.md, CHANGELOG.md, ROADMAP.md, and three web
  pages; docs/Cli.tsx's chapter body already had this right, so its
  synopsis row was made to agree with the body.

Also: added a reserialization clause to the README honesty box (stamping
reserializes the whole frontmatter canonically, so a flow-style bundle's
diff can bury the assertion -- run `okf fmt` first if you want the diff
to be just the stamp); spelled out --at's exact yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssZ shape
wherever it was under-specified; added the missing --at line to the CLI's
own --help OPTIONS block; added RecordVerifications to the site's spec
mapping page's S5 row; fixed the okf_verify row's broken column padding
in README's tool table; and corrected stale tool/verb counts found just
outside the prior sweep's perimeter (a test comment, and three spots in
the outreach launch-kit docs meant for external publication).

 **What to do:**
 1. Create `samples/AgentsQuickstart/AgentsQuickstart.csproj` as a `net10.0` console app with a `ProjectReference` to `src/OKF4net.Agents/OKF4net.Agents.csproj` only — no other package references. This transitively pulls in `Microsoft.Agents.AI`/`Microsoft.Extensions.AI`, satisfying `OKF4net.Agents`'s "only `Microsoft.Agents.AI`" dependency rule without adding anything new.
-2. In `Program.cs`, construct an `OkfBundleTools` over a small bundled sample directory (e.g. `samples/AgentsQuickstart/bundle/`, containing 2-3 concept files), call `tools.GetTools()`, and demonstrate calling one or two of the nine tools directly in code (e.g. `okf_search`/`okf_browse` equivalents — check the exact public method names on `OkfBundleTools` in `src/OKF4net.Agents/OkfBundleTools.cs`) without needing a real `IChatClient`. If you want to show the full `AsAIAgent` wiring from the README, write a minimal in-sample fake `IChatClient` (the test suite's `tests/OKF4net.Tests/Agents/ScriptedChatClient.cs` is a good reference for the shape, but don't reference the test assembly from the sample — copy the pattern, not the file) so the sample runs with zero network calls and zero API keys.

 3. Print clear, narrated console output explaining what's happening at each step (this is a teaching sample, not a benchmark).
 4. Add a short pointer to the new sample from the README's "Using OKF4net with Microsoft Agent Framework" section.
 **How to verify:** `dotnet run --project samples/AgentsQuickstart` — expect it to run to completion with no exceptions and readable output. Also confirm `dotnet build OKF4net.sln` still succeeds (add the new project to `OKF4net.sln` via `dotnet sln OKF4net.sln add samples/AgentsQuickstart/AgentsQuickstart.csproj` if you want it built by the main solution; optional but recommended for CI visibility).

Subject: [PATCH 21/27] docs(verify): fix seven false/imprecise claims in
 prose, comments and test docs
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Final fix round on the okf verify branch: no behavioural change anywhere,
every fix is a correction to a comment, XML doc, README passage, or test
doc-comment that made a claim not backed by the code path it described.

- Three comments (CLI, agent tool, CLI test) wrongly justified the pre-flight
  existence/§11 check by claiming it prevents a half-stamped batch.
  RecordVerifications already resolves, reads, parses and validates every
  concept before writing any, so the pre-check's real value is message
  quality (naming the offending id) — rewrote all three.
- Agents/Mcp READMEs claimed okf_append_log and okf_regenerate_indexes
  validate documents against producer-grade rules before writing. Neither
  does: AppendLog validates only its kind/text arguments, and IndexGenerator
  performs no document validation at all. Only okf_write_concept does.
- README/CHANGELOG/ROADMAP said verify clears audit's
  --trust unverified,machine-confirmed selection unconditionally; that only
  holds for a human: actor — a process:/agent: actor moves a concept to
  machine-confirmed, which that filter still selects.
- BundleConceptWriter.RecordVerifications' XML doc said every concept is
  resolved inside the bundle lock; resolution happens before the lock is
  taken, matching AppendToConceptAtomic's shape and the method's own body
  comment.
- UpsertStamp's doc claimed the writer never deletes an entry it isn't
  replacing; true only for the sequence/mapping shapes — a malformed scalar
  verified value is discarded whole, the same shape BundleValidator already
  flags as VerifiedMalformed. Scoped the claim; behaviour unchanged.
- Moved a misplaced doc-comment in OkfVerifyToolTests.cs onto the test it
  actually describes, and gave the test it had been sitting on its own.
- Added the two CliTests.cs invocation cases (--by with no value, empty
  stdin) that the design spec's §5.3 message table specifies but the theory
  omitted.

The CLI verb and the tool re-run the same predicate only to phrase a message that names the flag; the predicate itself lives once, on `Actor`, for the reason `ConceptSearch` and `LfLines` live once. Ordered before each layer's well-formedness message, because those echo `by`: echoing a newline-bearing value moves the forged line from stdout into stderr rather than stopping it. None of the three messages echoes the refused value. `Actor.Parse` is deliberately left permissive — it is also the read path for `Trust.DeriveTier` and `BundleValidator`, and tightening it would change trust-tier and validation behaviour for already-stored actors. `okf_write_concept` also stays unguarded by design, so a bundle can still hold a control-bearing actor this gate never saw; that residual, and the obligation it puts on any future feature that renders a stored actor, is stated on the predicate itself.

A frontmatter mixing ~450 block levels with ~600 flow levels therefore parses cleanly and then trips the emitter — a hostile-but-loadable concept file, reachable through any ordinary read-modify-write. The guard threw a bare `InvalidOperationException`, which is in neither `RunTool` catch filter (`OkfException or ArgumentException or IOException or UnauthorizedAccessException or DecoderFallbackException`) nor `OkfCli.Run`'s (`CliOperationException` only). So `okf_verify` threw out of the `AIFunction` into the MCP host, and the CLI died with a stack trace — while `VerificationOutcome` documents errors-as-data, never thrown. Nothing was ever written: the throw lands in the prepare loop, so batch atomicity held. Fixed at the exception type, not the counters: the parser already signals the same condition as a `YamlParseException : OkfException`, so the emitter now has an equivalent `YamlEmitException : OkfException` and every existing filter covers it. Reconciling one counter with two is a change to what the library accepts on the READ path; it is left alone and documented on the guard. `OkfCli.Run` also gains an `OkfException` arm, so any library failure a verb did not anticipate prints `error: ` and exits 1 instead of a stack trace. Strict improvement for all nine verbs; no golden pinned a crash. Deliberately narrow — an unexpected BCL exception still crashes loudly rather than being reported as a routine failure.

The pipeline this branch advertises in the README, the CHANGELOG, the ROADMAP and the CLI docs page was therefore not idempotent, and failed under `set -e` exactly when the bundle was healthy. The cheapest operator workaround, `|| true`, also swallows a genuine partial-write failure — the one outcome the Records-before-throw design exists to surface — so this was a correctness problem, not a cosmetic one. An empty stream is now "nothing to do": write nothing, exit 0, matching `audit`. Every other empty/missing-id case stays an error, so a mistyped `okf verify mybundle` (for `validate`) still fails loudly with `missing `. The removed message is not a row in the design spec's §5.3 error table, so no documented contract moved. Second, stdin was drained before `--by`/`--at` were validated, so an already-invalid invocation blocked on the pipe: `okf verify b -` with no `--by` waited on a slow producer instead of failing immediately, and interactively hung until the user found Ctrl-D. The flag values are now checked first — every error the `[Theory]` pins is decided from the argument list alone, so the message ordering is unchanged — and the regression test hands the verb a reader that throws if touched.

Subject: [PATCH 25/27] test(verify): close three gaps a source mutation walked
 through
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Each of these survived a deliberate mutation of the source with the full
suite green, which means nothing pinned them:

- `at ?? "(now)"` in the dry-run renderer. Every existing dry-run test
  passes `--at`, so the null branch was never rendered — while the
  website publishes `would record metrics/gross-margin  human:ada
  (now)` as captured output.
- `outcome.Message.Replace("Error: ", …)`. No test asserted the stderr
  of a failed `okf verify` at all, so a regression printing
  `error: Error: …` would have shipped. Reached via `metrics/dau` plus
  `metrics//dau`: distinct strings to the CLI's duplicate check, one
  file to the writer's resolved-path check.
- `ReadIdsFrom`'s `line.Trim()`. Blank-line skipping was covered, the
  trim was not — and ids arriving from a pipe carry whatever whitespace
  produced them.

Verified by re-applying all three mutations: exactly these three tests
fail, one per mutation.

Subject: [PATCH 26/27] docs(verify): correct the actor forms and scope three
 overclaims
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

`agent:` is documented as a §7 actor form in five places, all new on this
branch, and it is not one. `Actor.Parse` knows exactly three:
`human:`, `process:`, `/`. There is no
`agent:` prefix — `agent:assistant/1.0` merely falls through to the
producer branch and stores the producer name `agent:assistant`, which
nothing downstream flags. The `[Description]` on `okf_verify`'s `by` is
an LLM's only source of truth for how an agent stamps a concept, so that
line was actively teaching models to write a malformed producer name; it
now names the three forms and says outright that there is no `agent:`
prefix. Fixed alongside it in `VerifyUsageMessage`, README, CHANGELOG
and ROADMAP, matching the statements that already had it right.

`src/OKF4net.Agents/README.md`, shipped in the NuGet package README, had
a pronoun that rebound when two sentences were inserted before it: as
published, "It records a `{by, at}` review stamp" attached to
`okf_regenerate_indexes`. Named explicitly and moved back beside the
`okf_verify` sentence it belongs to.

Three scoping corrections, no behaviour change:

- The README's honesty box explains the frontmatter reflow but not that
  `Serialize()` also normalizes the body to LF — so on a CRLF checkout
  the diff is 100% of the file, which matters precisely because the
  box's argument is that a reviewer sees the assertion in the diff.
  Verified: a CRLF concept comes back with zero CR bytes. The prescribed
  `okf fmt -w` mitigation does cover it, and now says so.

- `VerificationOutcome`/`RecordVerifications` claimed `Records` lists
  "what actually landed". `File.WriteAllText` truncates and writes in
  place, so a failure mid-file can leave a target half-written while
  `Records` omits it. Now scoped to what it really means — the writes
  that returned — with the residual stated and a ROADMAP entry for
  atomic write-then-rename. The primitive is deliberately NOT changed
  here: it sits between the late reparse-point guard and the bundle
  lock, and deserves its own pass with tests for `File.Replace`
  semantics rather than a swap on the eve of a merge.

- The duplicate-detection comment justified `OrdinalIgnoreCase` with
  "resolves to the same file on a case-insensitive filesystem
  (Windows/macOS)" — the exact OS-based heuristic `Bundle.cs` rejects,
  because case-sensitivity belongs to the volume, not the OS. The
  behaviour is a deliberate, asymmetric-cost choice; the comment now
  says that, and states the residual (on a case-sensitive volume holding
  both `metrics/dau.md` and `metrics/DAU.md`, a batch naming both is
  refused) instead of reasoning it away.

+- **`YamlEmitter`'s nesting guard now throws `YamlEmitException`** (an
+  `OkfException`, like the parser's `YamlParseException`) instead of a bare
+  `InvalidOperationException`. The parser enforces its 1000-level cap with two
+  independent counters — one for block nesting, one for flow — while the
+  emitter has a single counter covering both, so a frontmatter mixing the two
+  can parse and then fail to re-emit. That exception matched no catch filter
+  in the library: it escaped `BundleConceptWriter`'s errors-as-data contract,
+  threw out of the `okf_verify` tool into its host, and killed the CLI with a
+  stack trace. Every existing filter already covers `OkfException`, so the

Subject: [PATCH 27/27] docs(verify): correct the agent: actor form at its
 source
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The audit found `agent:/` presented as one of the three §7
actor forms in five shipped places, including the [Description] an LLM reads.
Those were fixed; this fixes where the error came from.

`Actor.Parse` knows `human:`, `process:` and `/`.
`agent:x/1.0` validates only by falling through to the producer branch, so what
lands in a bundle is `producer = "agent:x"` — and nothing downstream flags it.

Corrected in place with a dated note rather than left as a historical record:
this spec is the binding authority for any follow-up cycle, and a future
implementer reading it would copy the wrong form again. The whole branch has
been about false written claims propagating; leaving the origin intact would be
the same mistake one level up.
