Tracker Hardening Retrospective

Retrospective record · all retros

Tracker Hardening Retrospective — CLOSED

This is the finalized record. Full deliberation history:

Outcome

Both agents reconstructed the sprint from the repo and recorded evidence-backed passes (agentic-retro standard, llminterchange.md §4). All TH1–TH5 passed and all live items are done (WI-042 reconciled via D29). The follow-ups were small, so — per Paul's decision — they land as Backlog items + small in-place fixes (no new sprint); next is Platform & Contracts (D9).

Combined findings

# Finding Found by Type
1 "Done" not enforced: items marked done with empty log/tools/artifacts (→ D28) Claude process / tooling
2 git-done ≠ board-done: WI-042 stuck queued live though done in git; invisible from static pages (→ D29) Both tooling / process
3 Findings section rendered empty while data sat in log[].findings; we don't routinely open rendered pages Claude process / bug
4 tracker:check passes with 18 unclassified warnings (coverage gaps + TBD owners) Claude plan / tooling
5 No offline way to visually QA app.html (board needs live data behind Access) Claude testing / tooling
6 prebuild/deploy/tracker:sync regenerate tracker HTML with no tracker:check; docs:sync also distributes to partners Codex tooling / risk
7 tracker-promote audit identity inconsistent (actor_label=Claude vs hardcoded Paul UUID) Codex bug / audit
8 Decision-log rendered D27 → D29 → D28 (out of order) Codex doc hygiene

Actions (applied / homed)

Action Found by Owner Destination Status
A7 · Fix tracker-promote audit identity (resolve label+profile together) Codex Codex/Claude scripts/tracker-promote.mjs applied
A8 · Reorder decision-log D28 before D29 Codex Claude decision-log.md applied
A5 · WI-041 owner → Claude (actual authorship) Claude Claude status.json applied
A4 · QA approach → accept manual board QA after deploy Claude Paul decision + WI-055 (optional) decided
A1 · tracker:check warns on done-item with no evidence (D28) Claude Claude WI-051 Backlog queued
A2 · Opt-in git↔board parity audit (tracker:audit-live) Both Codex WI-052 Backlog queued
A3 · Triage the 18 tracker:check warnings Claude Codex WI-053 Backlog queued
A6 · Gate the other generation entrypoints Codex Claude WI-054 Backlog queued
— · Optional offline render-smoke for app.html Claude Claude WI-055 Backlog parked
— · Reviewer auth / live tech-debt surface prior WI-049 / WI-050 Backlog parked

Human decision

2026-06-19 — Paul: APPROVED. Land A1–A8 as Backlog items + small fixes (no "Hardening 1.1" sprint); A7/A8/A5 applied immediately; A4 = accept manual board QA; WI-049/050 stay parked. Tracker Hardening closed and added to status.retros. Next: Platform & Contracts.
