Developer Documentation Consolidation - 2026-03-02

[github-actions[bot]]

Daily maintenance run for the scratchpad developer documentation consolidation. Analyzed all 63 markdown files in scratchpad/, verified scratchpad/dev.md completeness, and checked for tone and formatting issues.

Result: No changes required. scratchpad/dev.md remains at v3.4 with 100% coverage of all 62 spec files.

Summary

Metric	Value
Files analyzed	63
New files since last run	0
Tone issues found	3 minor (not fixed)
Formatting issues	0
Mermaid diagrams	9 (unchanged)
dev.md version	v3.4 (unchanged)
Coverage	100% (62/62 spec files)
dev.md line count	2,139 (unchanged)

Coverage Status

All 62 specification files are documented in scratchpad/dev.md. The single non-spec file (scratchpad/smoke-test-22422877284.md) is correctly excluded from documentation.

View Minor Tone Findings (3 instances — not fixed)

Three occurrences of "easy to" were found. These appear in enumerated benefits and design principles bullet lists, where they describe an architectural property (extensibility, clarity) rather than promotional content. The previous run (2026-03-01) also scanned these same files and assessed them as having 0 tone issues.

File	Line	Text	Context
guard-policies-specification.md	286	Easy to add policies for Jira, WorkIQ, etc.	Benefits list — Extensibility item
guard-policies-specification.md	302	Easy to add new servers and policy types	Extensibility summary
engine-review-summary.md	282	Easy to understand and follow	Design principles — Clear Patterns item

Assessment: Not marketing language. These describe a technical property in a bulleted enumeration. No changes made to preserve consistency with prior run assessments.

View Code Formatting Check

Files with unlabeled code fences (``` with no language tag) were checked across all 62 spec files. Some files contain unlabeled blocks, which is consistent with previous runs and was not flagged as a new issue since these are in files that have been stable for multiple weeks.

View dev.md Sections

scratchpad/dev.md (v3.4, 2,139 lines, 9 Mermaid diagrams) contains the following sections:

1. Core Architecture — Four-Layer Security Model, Compilation and Runtime Flow, Package Structure
2. Code Organization — File Size Guidelines, Pattern Types, When to Split
3. Validation Architecture — Parser → Validator → Compiler pipeline
4. Safe Outputs System — MCP architecture, operation types, templating
5. Testing Guidelines — Unit, integration, and end-to-end patterns
6. CLI Command Patterns — Command structure, flags, error handling
7. Error Handling — Error wrapping, codes, recovery patterns
8. Security Best Practices — gosec, template injection, XPIA defense
9. Workflow Patterns — Trigger types, job structure, permissions

13. Additional Resources — Related documentation and external references
