feat(driver): serve compact rule metadata in the lint result - #436
Conversation
wright lint and the agent lint operation inlined the full lintRules response — roughly 7.5 KB of static rule prose on every call, 78% of a clean result — while lintRules already serves the same metadata on demand. The lint result now keeps only each rule's id and effectiveSeverity, enough to interpret a finding's code and severity; summary, rationale, documentation, known limits, evidence, and tags stay exclusive to lintRules. This is a recorded exception to wright-result/v1, decided ahead of the 1.0 freeze; machine-contract.md now documents the envelope's evolution policy alongside the wright-agent/v1 rule.

Assert compact lint rules carry exactly id and effectiveSeverity, and look up lintRules metadata by id instead of array position. Refs #431

The PR implements the superseded draft text of #431's option C, not the approved decision. Requesting changes.
lint result must drop rules entirely
#431's approved body (ready-for-implementation, recorded 2026-09-29) decides: "the lint result stops carrying the rules array … This removes a duplicate and replaces nothing" — config.rules[id] already carries enabled and effective severity for every registered rule, which is all a caller needs to interpret a finding, and lintRules remains the authoritative full-metadata surface. The acceptance criteria require rules to be absent on both paths, tests asserting its absence, and LintResult to neither declare nor require rules.
This PR instead ships the earlier draft's option C ("lint keeps per-rule id and effective severity"), reducing each entry to {id, effectiveSeverity} via a new LintRuleSummary. The member is still emitted unconditionally on both paths:
crates/wright-driver/src/service.rs:{"op":"lint"}still returns"rules": compact_lint_rules(...)crates/wright-driver/src/session/semantic.rs: CLILintResultstill carriesrulesschemas/wright-agent-v1.schema.json:LintResultstill requires and declaresrules(re-typed toLintRuleSummary)- The new assertions in
crates/wright-cli/tests/cli.rsandcrates/wright-driver/tests/service.rsassertrulesis present with exactly two keys — the opposite of the required absence assertion; the PR measurement itself reportsresult.rules= 368 B docs/cli/lint.md's envelope example and themachine-contract.mdexception record describe the compact member rather than its removal
Required correction: remove the rules member on both paths; delete compact_lint_rules, the LintResult.rules field, and the LintRuleSummary schema def; rewrite the new assertions to assert rules absent and config complete per the AC (no hard-coded byte counts); update lint.md, machine-contract.md, commands.md, SPEC-99, and the agent-contract.md operation table to describe the removal. The lint_rule_flags_control_findings change to read config is correct and stays.
agent-contract.md versioning does not record the exception
#431 requires recording the approved pre-1.0 exception "in both docs/cli/machine-contract.md and the versioning section of docs/agent-contract.md, with its rationale and a link to this issue". The PR only adds a pointer to machine-contract.md (agent-contract.md ~L129) — no exception entry, no rationale, no #431 link. The lint operation change is itself a wright-agent/v1 exception and needs the record in that section.
Verified clean: lintRules payload untouched on both paths; config completeness demonstrated by the updated assertion; the text-mode renderer reads only findings; no other command's result changed; the new wright-result/v1 evolution policy matches wright-agent/v1 in substance.
The agent lint result now carries the same program summary as CompilerSession::lint, and compact_lint_rules skips malformed entries instead of emitting null id/effectiveSeverity fields. Schema, contract docs, and the service test updated to match. Refs #431

Follow-up review of b3251bce.
Correction first: my previous review's central finding was based on #431's 09:49 body, which the correction thread establishes was an unapproved recording. The final record — the issue's current Decision section and the "Final record of option C" comment — approves the compact [{id, effectiveSeverity}] shape this PR ships. Both earlier findings are withdrawn: the shape is correct, and the corrected AC only requires agent-contract.md versioning to link to the policy, which it does.
Two new findings in the new commit:
{"op":"lint"} gains an out-of-scope program member
b3251bce adds program to the agent lint response (service.rs), to LintResult.required + properties in schemas/wright-agent-v1.schema.json, to the agent-contract.md operation table, and to the ToolRequest::Lint doc. Before this commit the agent lint result never carried program (the CLI envelope did — the asymmetry is pre-existing).
#431's non-goals explicitly list "Changing lintRules, config, findings, skipped, input_identity, or program", and the approved pre-1.0 exception covers only the rules reduction. This is a second contract change riding in the same PR without an owner decision. Either revert the program hunks, or have the owner amend the issue to cover it.
AC2 test gap: no coverage for a --rule-loaded rule in rules
The corrected AC requires: "Every registered rule, including a local YAML rule loaded with --rule, appears in rules. Covered by a test." The suite covers only the six built-ins — cli.rs iterates the default set and service.rs finds min-wait-loop; no test passes --rule, and no local-rule fixture exists. Add one minimal YAML rule fixture plus an assertion that it appears in result.rules with the {id, effectiveSeverity} shape.
Verified on this pass: exact-key-set assertions exist on both paths (AC1); lintRules full metadata is covered by the unchanged path plus LintRule's required schema fields (AC3); the compact_lint_rules hardening drops malformed entries instead of emitting nulls — fine; lint.md, commands.md, machine-contract.md, and SPEC-99 match the approved reduced shape.
Pin the compacting projection against non-array input and non-object or non-string entries so malformed analyzer output can never produce schema-invalid lint rules. Refs #431
The agent contract's versioning policy now names the same pre-freeze exception as machine-contract.md, SPEC-99 REQ-006 no longer points at the compacted lint rules entries for rule documentation, and lint.md lists the skipped member and the findings operation by their contract names. Refs #431

Reviewed Note: the two findings from my last review are still open — they were posted after these commits were likely in flight:

Resolve the lint-result overlap with #436: keep the compact per-rule id/effective-severity payload and apply finding selection on top, on both the CLI lint result and the agent lint operation.
