Problem

The Runner commit at merge-ready stages too few files in a takedown-implement run.
The design-placer places the final design's files, but the commit leaves them out.
An unattended takedown implementation therefore cannot produce a complete commit.

Design

/home/jared/dev/cc-os/.claude/worktrees/prism-architect/docs/takedown/1018-20261016-094026/final-design.json

Approach

DesignPlacement returns every path it wrote or deleted, and the place-design script prints them as a ready items: line that the design-placer pastes into its handoff, so the unchanged ListedPaths & changed_paths rule stages them.

Required work:

  1. Write plugins/os-sdlc/lib/os_sdlc/controller/dispatch/placing.rb
  2. Write plugins/os-sdlc/agents/design-placer.md
  3. Write plugins/os-sdlc/lib/os_sdlc/design_placement.rb
  4. Write test plugins/os-sdlc/tests/controller/place_design_reports_items_test.rb

Acceptance criteria

  • tests mode, 2 entries: stdout items: ["a","b"], exit 0
  • code mode, code_files and deleted_files: stdout lists both sets, exit 0
  • Placement raises (existing path, missing deleted file): Fails as before. Nothing is printed.
  • Placer handoff carries the line: Placed paths are staged and committed

Owner sketch

Responsibility Owner
Know which paths were written or deleted DesignPlacement#place (returns them)
Report them on stdout as an items: line Dispatch::Placing
Put the reported line in the handoff design-placer.md template (paste the script's line verbatim)
Stage handoff items ∩ changed paths Commit / ListedPaths (unchanged)

Takedown relevance: needs a ruling

Harm: An unattended takedown-implement run reaches merge-ready with a Runner commit that omits the files the design-placer placed, so the orchestrator must commit them by hand (implementation 47 needed b51ef274 for 7 files).
Protects: A complete, reproducible runner-made commit of the implementation's change, while keeping ADR-0171's rule that the runner stages only paths the agent declared and never user edits in the working tree.
Harm path: The takedown-implement map routes merge-ready to implementation_complete (maps/takedown-implement.yaml:135). Landing#complete! constructs Implementation::Commit (command/implementation/landing.rb:33), which stages ListedPaths (handoff items) intersected with changed paths (command/implementation/commit.rb:34). The design-placer's handoff template has items: [] and nothing else reports its placed paths. (live: true)

Evidence:

  • plugins/os-sdlc/maps/takedown-implement.yaml:135: merge-ready maps to implementation_complete, so the takedown-implement run reaches the terminal Runner commit path.
  • plugins/os-sdlc/lib/os_sdlc/command/implementation/landing.rb:33: implementation_complete calls Implementation::Commit.new(...).call and records the result; the commit path is still wired.
  • plugins/os-sdlc/lib/os_sdlc/command/implementation/commit.rb:34: staged_paths = ListedPaths.new(@implementation).call & changed_paths, so only handoff-listed, changed paths are staged.
  • plugins/os-sdlc/lib/os_sdlc/query/implementation/commit/listed_paths.rb:12: ListedPaths is the flat union of handoff items' paths; it reads no placement record.
  • plugins/os-sdlc/agents/design-placer.md:36-40: The design-placer handoff template has items: [], so it reports no paths for the Runner to stage.
  • plugins/os-sdlc/agents/design-placer.md:18-22: The placer runs os-sdlc-place-design, which writes files; the placed paths are not returned in any handoff item.
  • plugins/os-sdlc/skills/implement/SKILL.md:153: The skill says the Runner already committed and the orchestrator must not commit again, so a manual commit is outside the contract.
  • .takedown/history.txt:43-46: Commit 56686026 is the refactorer's two-file commit, matching the ticket's observed paths. Commit b51ef274 is the later manual commit of the placed files.
  • .takedown/history.txt:1-5: Newest commit d77bbada and the following history touch no commit.rb or ListedPaths code, so no later commit fixes the path.

Conflicting ADRs:

  • ADR-0171: ADR-0171 fixes the staged set as the union of handoff items: paths intersected with changed paths. The ticket wants placed design files committed, which changes that staged-set rule or the handoff contract (parsed vocabulary).

The ticket is waiting for Jared's ruling on the ADRs above.

Ruling 2026-10-16 (Jared): comply with ADR-0171. Use the existing handoff process: the design-placer handoff lists the paths it placed in items:, so ListedPaths & changed_paths includes them. No change to the Runner staged-set rule. Prefer the placement script reporting the paths over the model retyping them. Takedown run 1018-20261016-091539 stopped at relevance (needs ruling 0171); a rerun follows.

Takedown relevance: needs a ruling

Harm: An unattended takedown-implement run reaches implementation_complete with the design-placer's placed files left uncommitted, so the merge-ready commit is incomplete and an operator must commit them by hand. Implementation 47 is the cited instance.
Protects: ADR-0171's purpose: the Runner commits the implementation's own change deterministically at implementation_complete, so an unattended run yields a complete, reviewable commit without manual repair.
Harm path: Landing#complete! (command/implementation/landing.rb:31-33) calls Commit#call at implementation_complete, which builds its path set from ListedPaths over handoff items. The takedown-implement map reaches merge-ready: implementation_complete through the place-tests and place-code design-placer nodes, whose handoff template hard-codes items: []. (live: true)

Evidence:

  • plugins/os-sdlc/lib/os_sdlc/command/implementation/landing.rb:31-33: complete! runs @implementation.complete! and then record_commit(Commit.new(...).call) when the terminal type is implementation_complete.
  • plugins/os-sdlc/lib/os_sdlc/command/implementation/commit.rb:33-35: staged_paths is ListedPaths.new(@implementation).call & changed_paths, so only handoff-listed paths that git reports as changed are staged.
  • plugins/os-sdlc/lib/os_sdlc/query/implementation/commit/listed_paths.rb:12: ListedPaths is the union of Item paths over @implementation.handoffs items; placed files appear only if a handoff lists them.
  • plugins/os-sdlc/agents/design-placer.md:36-40: The design-placer handoff template is items: [] with no instruction to list placed paths, so placer handoffs supply no paths to ListedPaths.
  • plugins/os-sdlc/maps/takedown-implement.yaml:10-30,135: place-tests and place-code are design-placer nodes that lead to merge-ready: implementation_complete, so the path is still wired in the current map.
  • docs/adr/0171-the-runner-commits-deterministically-at-implementation-complete-staging-only-handoff-listed-paths-opt-in-per-project.md:4,19: ADR-0171 is Accepted and states the staged set is the union of handoff items paths intersected with git diff HEAD.
  • .takedown/history.txt:5616: The commit.rb staging path comes from commit 01f5edf9 (#837), and no later commit in the history listed removes or replaces ListedPaths or the design-placer items template.

Conflicting ADRs:

  • ADR-0171: ADR-0171 fixes the staged set to handoff items intersected with the git diff; the ticket's expected behavior (commit every placed or changed path) reverses that rule if the fix adds a path source other than handoff items. Having design-placer list its paths in items would not reverse it.

Resolution

Done: os-sdlc-place-design prints an items: line listing every path it wrote or deleted; the design-placer copies it into its handoff, so the unchanged ADR-0171 rule (handoff items & changed paths) stages placed files. Built by takedown run 1018-20261016-094026 (1 round, grade cause_removed, $0.42) and implementation 48 (5 dispatches, all pass, 2 min). Also restored the apostrophe rule in design-placer.md and map-router.md to \u0027.

Evidence: Commit ec3665a6 on prism-architect. tests/controller/place_design_reports_items_test.rb: 2 runs, 0 failures (red at base: no items: line). Suite gate green at dispatch 429. Implementation 48's own Runner commit staged nothing, which reproduces the defect: the running code still had items: []; the fix was committed by hand.

Follow-ups: none; live check at the next takedown-implement run this session (#998)
