Tracker Foundation Retrospective

Retrospective record · all retros

Tracker Foundation Retrospective — CLOSED

This is the finalized record. Full deliberation history:

Outcome

Both agents did independent passes (D25) and converged. Paul approved the consolidated plan (D26). The corrective work was homed in a new "Tracker Hardening" sprint (phase-th, gates TH1–TH5) — it is now the active sprint.

Combined findings

# Finding Found by Type
1 Story points double-counted (summary rows WI-026–031 overlap slices WI-032–036) Both tech debt
2 52/115 requirements not linked to any gate; 54/115 have no work item Claude tech debt / coverage
3 22 TBD owners; owner/reviewer label drift silently breaks My Tasks/filter Both (C2 Claude) plan / risk
4 Deploy reseed only via docs:tracker; local docs:tracker writes PROD Codex (#1) + Claude (C1) tech debt / risk
5 Static vs live "sprint complete" rules differ Codex (#2) tech debt
6 SQL seed clobbers live HITL state Codex (#4) risk
7 Reviewer acceptance not enforced server-side; reviewer not in live GET Codex (#5/#6) risk (deferred)
8 Stale retrospectives/ link; plan docs (WI-022–025) lag Codex (#7) + Claude (D) tech debt
9 No automated plan-integrity check Both (E / #8) tooling
10 Clearing the retro alert needs a redeploy (META.retros is static) Claude (C3) note

Human decision

2026-06-19 — Paul: APPROVED. Create the Tracker Hardening sprint; apply the point restructure + Spine slices now; the rest are its work items. Reviewer auth deferred to Backlog. Tracker Foundation closed and added to status.retros.
