# Praxis — v0.5 Milestone Audit (Final Phase P3)

> **Phase:** 3 — Review + Ship (FINAL PHASE audit, v0.5 milestone)
> **Milestone:** v0.5 (Live Assist — on-the-job voice companion)
> **Branch:** `phase/03-final-review-ship` (current; 2 commits ahead of `milestone/v0.5-live-assist` tip `b621cb6` — the P3 verify + P0-fix commits; this audit IS the P3 work)
> **Auditor:** CIAgent ci-doc-verifier (mechanical, autonomy `full`, single-project mode, slug `praxis`)
> **Date:** 2026-08-04
> **Mode:** P3 final milestone audit per the audit workflow — verifies the entire v0.5 milestone is healthy before the milestone merge to main
> **Codebase state at audit:** HEAD = `2627923` (P3 verify commit); 9 commits `v0.1.9..HEAD` (v0.4 completion + P0 merge + ship, P1 merge + ship, P2 merge + ship, P3 verify + P0-fix); working tree clean (no auto-fixes applied — this audit surfaces, does not fix, per the audit charter)
> **Inputs:** git log (`v0.1.9..HEAD` = 9 commits, `--all` = 105 commits), `.ciagent/` files (30), `---ci---` blocks (all 9 v0.5-range commits verified), REVIEW-v0.5.md (multi-persona code review, APPROVE_WITH_NOTES), VERIFY-P1-v0.5.md + VERIFY-P2-v0.5.md, tag verification, branch/merge topology, GRILL-v0.5.md (39 decisions, 2 MUSTs, 1 escalation), reflog topology reconstruction

## 1. Audit Summary

| # | Check | Result | Notes |
|---|-------|--------|-------|
| 1 | Reconstruction test | ✅ PASS | git log `v0.1.9..HEAD` (9 commits) covers P0/P1/P2/P3; all `---ci---` blocks correct (project/phase/milestone/status); all 16 v0.5 REQ-IDs appear in commit `requirements.covered` blocks; tags v0.1.10/v0.1.11/v0.1.12 exist + annotated + point to correct commits; phase progression matches ROADMAP.md |
| 2 | `.ciagent/` file discipline | ⚠️ NEEDS_ATTENTION | All 13 expected files present + current; v0.4 reference files retained; **5 stale-status fields** found (PROJECT.md:4, ROADMAP.md:3-4, REQUIREMENTS.md:3-4 + 16 REQ status fields, CHECKPOINT.json phase/stage, config.json status) — same stale-status drift class as the v0.4 audit; NOT auto-fixed (audit surfaces, does not fix) |
| 3 | Branch hygiene | ✅ PASS | main → milestone/v0.5 → phase/03 hierarchy correct; v0.5 phase branches (phase/00, phase/01-assist-core-guardrail, phase/02-integration-techdebt-nfr) created + deleted post-merge (confirmed via reflog); old v0.2/v0.3/v0.4 phase branches retained (housekeeping pattern) |
| 4 | Commit discipline | ✅ PASS | All 9 commits have `---ci---` blocks (count = 9 = commit count); correct `project: praxis`, `milestone: v0.5`; conventional-commit prefixes (`docs(ship)`, `feat(P01)`, `feat(P02)`, `docs(P00)`, `verify(P03)`, `fix(P03)`); no secrets in commit messages |

**Final verdict: NEEDS_ATTENTION** — reconstruction + branch + commit discipline all PASS; file discipline has 5 stale-status fields (stale-status drift, not logic/data/scope errors) that the ship orchestrator should fix before/during ship. No critical issues. The milestone is healthy and ready for ship after the stale-status fields are advanced.

## 2. Check 1 — Reconstruction Test

### 2.1 Git log phase-by-phase vs ROADMAP.md

`git log --oneline v0.1.9..HEAD` (9 commits, oldest → newest):

```
ba928cf docs(milestone): complete v0.4-operator-tier — v0.1.9 tagged, release created, merged to main   [v0.4 complete — base of v0.5 range]
5290d4d docs(P00): complete v0.5 phase 0 pre-execution — v0.1.10 tagged                                  [P0]
fb26d33 docs(ship): phase 0 complete — v0.1.10 tagged, release #443 created                              [P0 ship]
81d4366 feat(P01): complete assist core + guardrail phase — v0.1.11 tagged                               [P1]
38b97ee docs(ship): P1 complete — v0.1.11 tagged, release #451 created                                  [P1 ship]
bdcf793 feat(P02): complete integration + tech-debt + NFR measurement phase — v0.1.12 tagged            [P2]
b621cb6 docs(ship): P2 complete — v0.1.12 tagged, release #452 created                                  [P2 ship]
5373df2 fix(P03): P0 — guardrail processor must buffer LLM text before TTS (REQ-ASSIST-03)              [P3 P0-fix]
2627923 verify(P03): code review — v0.5 Live Assist (5 personas, APPROVE_WITH_NOTES)                     [P3 verify — HEAD]
```

**Phase progression vs ROADMAP.md:**
- Phase 0 — Pre-Execution: complete — tagged v0.1.10 ✅ matches `5290d4d`/`fb26d33`
- Phase 1 — Assist Core + Guardrail: complete — tagged v0.1.11 ✅ matches `81d4366`/`38b97ee`
- Phase 2 — Integration + Tech-Debt + NFR Measurement: complete — tagged v0.1.12 ✅ matches `bdcf793`/`b621cb6`
- Final Phase (P3) — Review + Ship: in-progress (this audit) ✅ matches `5373df2`/`2627923` on `phase/03-final-review-ship`

**Note on v0.5 merge topology:** Unlike v0.4 (which used `feat(milestone): merge phase/NN` squash-merge commits with separate phase branches retained), v0.5 committed phase work directly to `milestone/v0.5-live-assist` as `feat(P01)`/`feat(P02)`/`docs(P00)` commits (single-parent, linear). The reflog confirms v0.5 DID use phase branches during execution (`phase/00-pre-execution`, `phase/01-assist-core-guardrail`, `phase/02-integration-techdebt-nfr`) — they were created, worked on, then deleted post-merge to milestone. This is a **different but valid** merge pattern (linear direct-commit vs squash-merge). The phase work is fully traceable via the `feat(PNN)`/`docs(PNN)` commit prefixes + `---ci---` blocks. Non-blocking — the v0.4 squash-merge pattern is preferred for phase-boundary integrity, but the v0.5 linear pattern preserves full traceability.

### 2.2 `---ci---` blocks vs declared phase/stage/milestone

All 9 `v0.1.9..HEAD` commits carry `---ci---` blocks (`git log v0.1.9..HEAD --pretty=%B | grep -c "^---ci---"` = 9 = commit count). Verified each block:

| Commit | phase | milestone | status | requirements.covered | Match |
|--------|-------|-----------|--------|----------------------|-------|
| `ba928cf` (v0.4 complete) | 3 | v0.4 | complete | [8 v0.4 REQs] | ✅ (v0.4 carry-over — base of range) |
| `5290d4d` (P0 merge) | 0 | v0.5 | complete | [16 v0.5 REQs] | ✅ all 16 |
| `fb26d33` (P0 ship) | 0 | v0.5 | complete | tag v0.1.10 | ✅ |
| `81d4366` (P1 merge) | 1 | v0.5 | complete | [12 REQs: 3 ASSIST + 3 NFR + 6 IDEATE] | ✅ 12 REQs |
| `38b97ee` (P1 ship) | 1 | v0.5 | complete | tag v0.1.11 | ✅ |
| `bdcf793` (P2 merge) | 2 | v0.5 | complete | [4 REQs: NFR-ASSIST-01 + IDEATE-04/06/07] | ✅ 4 REQs |
| `b621cb6` (P2 ship) | 2 | v0.5 | complete | tag v0.1.12 | ✅ |
| `5373df2` (P3 P0-fix) | 3 | v0.5 | verify | (lessons block) | ✅ |
| `2627923` (P3 verify) | 3 | v0.5 | verify | (verdict block) | ✅ |

All blocks declare `project: praxis` (matches config.json `active_project`). ✅

**REQ coverage reconciliation:**
- P0 merge claims all 16 (planning — all REQs activated)
- P1 merge claims 12 (the P1-implemented REQs: 3 ASSIST + 3 NFR-ASSIST + 6 IDEATE)
- P2 merge claims 4 (the P2-implemented REQs: NFR-ASSIST-01 + IDEATE-04/06/07)
- 12 + 4 = 16 ✅ — all 16 v0.5 REQ-IDs covered across P1+P2 (no overlap, no gaps)

### 2.3 All 16 v0.5 REQ-IDs covered in commit blocks

`git log v0.1.9..HEAD --pretty=%B | grep -oE "REQ-(ASSIST|NFR-ASSIST|IDEATE)-[0-9]+" | sort -u` returns all 16:

| REQ-ID | Phase claimed | Verified |
|--------|----------------|----------|
| REQ-ASSIST-01 | P1 | ✅ P1 merge `81d4366` |
| REQ-ASSIST-02 | P1 | ✅ P1 merge `81d4366` |
| REQ-ASSIST-03 | P1 | ✅ P1 merge `81d4366` |
| REQ-NFR-ASSIST-01 | P2 | ✅ P2 merge `bdcf793` |
| REQ-NFR-ASSIST-02 | P1 | ✅ P1 merge `81d4366` |
| REQ-NFR-ASSIST-03 | P1 | ✅ P1 merge `81d4366` |
| REQ-NFR-ASSIST-04 | P1 | ✅ P1 merge `81d4366` |
| REQ-IDEATE-01 | P1 | ✅ P1 merge `81d4366` |
| REQ-IDEATE-02 | P1 | ✅ P1 merge `81d4366` |
| REQ-IDEATE-03 | P1 | ✅ P1 merge `81d4366` |
| REQ-IDEATE-04 | P2 | ✅ P2 merge `bdcf793` |
| REQ-IDEATE-05 | P1 | ✅ P1 merge `81d4366` |
| REQ-IDEATE-06 | P2 | ✅ P2 merge `bdcf793` |
| REQ-IDEATE-07 | P2 | ✅ P2 merge `bdcf793` |
| REQ-IDEATE-08 | P1 | ✅ P1 merge `81d4366` |
| REQ-IDEATE-09 | P1 | ✅ P1 merge `81d4366` |

**16/16 covered.** ✅ Independently confirmed by REVIEW-v0.5.md REQ coverage table (16/16 COVERED), VERIFY-P1-v0.5.md (12/12), VERIFY-P2-v0.5.md (4/4), CHECKPOINT.json `p1_requirements_covered` (12) + `p2_requirements_covered` (4).

### 2.4 Tags v0.1.10, v0.1.11, v0.1.12 exist and point to the right commits

`git tag -l v0.1.10 v0.1.11 v0.1.12` → all three exist. `git cat-file -t` → all `tag` (annotated). `git rev-list -n1 <tag>`:

| Tag | Commit | Phase | Correct? |
|-----|--------|-------|----------|
| v0.1.10 | `5290d4d` | P0 merge (pre-execution) | ✅ |
| v0.1.11 | `81d4366` | P1 merge (assist core + guardrail) | ✅ |
| v0.1.12 | `bdcf793` | P2 merge (integration + tech-debt + NFR) | ✅ |

Tag sequence v0.1.9 (main, v0.4) < v0.1.10 < v0.1.11 < v0.1.12 — strictly increasing, no skips. ✅
Next tag v0.1.13 (= v0.5 milestone release) not yet created — correct, ship is delegated to the orchestrator. ✅

### 2.5 CHECKPOINT.json vs actual state

**Current state (NOT auto-fixed by this audit):**
```json
{
  "phase": 2,
  "stage": "complete",
  "milestone": "v0.5",
  "phase_role": "execution",
  "tag": "v0.1.12",
  "next_tag": "v0.1.13",
  "p1_requirements_covered": [12 REQs],
  "p2_requirements_covered": [4 REQs],
  "p1_verify": "APPROVE_WITH_NOTES",
  "p2_verify": "APPROVE_WITH_NOTES",
  "p2_tests": "469 passed, 45 skipped, 0 failed",
  "grill_musts_resolved": ["G-049", "G-067"],
  "grill_escalations": ["ESCALATION-01"],
  "v0.4_p1_plus_addressed": 8
}
```

**Drift:** `phase: 2, stage: complete, phase_role: execution` reflects the P2-complete state but does NOT account for P3 in progress. The actual state is P3 (final review) in-progress — the verify commit `2627923` is on `phase/03-final-review-ship`. The `active_requirements` + `p1/p2_requirements_covered` + `grill_musts_resolved` + `v0.4_p1_plus_addressed` fields are all correct and consistent with the git log + REVIEW-v0.5.md. **Only the phase/stage/phase_role fields are stale.** See §3.4 for the fix recommendation (not applied — audit surfaces, does not fix).

**Reconstruction test verdict: PASS.** The git log tells the same story as PROJECT.md, ROADMAP.md, REQUIREMENTS.md, and CHECKPOINT.json — modulo the stale-status fields documented in §3.

### 3.3 Internal consistency (no contradictions)

- PROJECT.md §v0.5 scope (3 ASSIST + 4 NFR + 9 IDEATE = 16 REQs) ↔ REQUIREMENTS.md v0.5 active section (16 REQs) ↔ CHECKPOINT.json `active_requirements` (16) ↔ ROADMAP.md phase deliverables ↔ REVIEW-v0.5.md REQ coverage (16/16). **Consistent.** ✅
- PROJECT.md out-of-scope list ↔ REQUIREMENTS.md v0.5 out-of-scope list — identical items. ✅
- ROADMAP.md v0.5 phases ↔ actual git commits (`feat(P01)`, `feat(P02)`, `docs(P00)`). ✅
- GRILL-v0.5.md MUSTs (G-049, G-067) ↔ CHECKPOINT.json `grill_musts_resolved` (["G-049", "G-067"]) ↔ REVIEW-v0.5.md grill MUSTs honored (2/2). ✅
- CHECKPOINT.json `v0.4_p1_plus_addressed: 8` ↔ REVIEW-v0.5.md "8 v0.4 P1+ Tech-Debt Wave (all addressed)". ✅
- No stale "v0.4 is active" references in v0.5 files (v0.4 consistently marked complete, tagged v0.1.9, merged to main). ✅

### 3.4 Stale-status fields found (NOT auto-fixed — audit surfaces, does not fix)

These are the same class of stale-status drift the v0.4 P3 audit found + auto-fixed. This audit does NOT auto-fix (per the audit charter: "audit surfaces, doesn't fix"). The ship orchestrator should advance these before/during ship.

| File:Line | Current (stale) | Expected (current) | Severity |
|-----------|-----------------|---------------------|----------|
| PROJECT.md:4 | `Status: phase 0 — pre-execution (active milestone)` | `Status: phase 3 — final review (active milestone); P0-P2 complete (v0.1.10/v0.1.11/v0.1.12 tagged)` | important (stale) |
| ROADMAP.md:3 | `Milestone: v0.5 ... — active, phase 0 pre-execution` | `Milestone: v0.5 ... — active, phase 3 final review` | important (stale) |
| ROADMAP.md:4 | `Status: phase 0 pre-execution (SPECIFY → ... → SHIP)` | `Status: phase 3 final review; P0-P2 complete (v0.1.10/v0.1.11/v0.1.12 tagged)` | important (stale) |
| ROADMAP.md:15 | `Phase 0 — Pre-Execution (active)` | `Phase 0 — Pre-Execution (complete — tagged v0.1.10)` | important (stale) |
| ROADMAP.md:19 | `Status: active (SPECIFY complete → CLARIFY → ...)` | `Status: complete (v0.1.10 tagged, release #443 created)` | important (stale) |
| REQUIREMENTS.md:3 | `Milestone: v0.5 ... — active, phase 0` | `Milestone: v0.5 ... — active, phase 3 final review` | important (stale) |
| REQUIREMENTS.md:4 | `Status: phase 0 pre-execution — v0.4 complete ...` | `Status: phase 3 final review; P0-P2 complete — 16/16 v0.5 REQ covered` | important (stale) |
| REQUIREMENTS.md:14-16 | 3 REQ-ASSIST-* status `active` | `complete` (P1 merge `81d4366` covered them) | important (stale) |
| REQUIREMENTS.md:22-25 | 4 REQ-NFR-ASSIST-* status `research-grounded` | `complete` (NFR-ASSIST-01 in P2; 02/03/04 in P1) | important (stale) |
| REQUIREMENTS.md:37-70 | 9 REQ-IDEATE-* status `active` | `complete` (IDEATE-04/06/07 in P2; 01/02/03/05/08/09 in P1) | important (stale) |
| CHECKPOINT.json:2-5 | `phase: 2, stage: complete, phase_role: execution` | `phase: 3, stage: in_progress, phase_role: final_review` | important (stale) |
| config.json:7 | `"status": "phase-0-active"` | `"status": "phase-3-final-review"` | nit (stale — config.json status is informational; CHECKPOINT.json is the source of truth) |

**All 12 stale-status fields were set during P0 SPECIFY and never advanced as P1/P2 shipped.** This is the exact same drift pattern the v0.4 P3 audit documented (v0.4 AUDIT.md §B.4 / §G). The v0.4 audit auto-fixed them; this v0.5 audit surfaces them for the ship orchestrator per the audit charter ("audit surfaces, doesn't fix"). None are logic/data/scope errors — all are status-field drift. The authoritative state lives in the git log + tags + REVIEW-v0.5.md + VERIFY-P1/P2-v0.5.md, all of which are consistent.

**File discipline verdict: NEEDS_ATTENTION** (5 files with stale-status fields; all 13 expected files present + current content; no contradictions; v0.4 reference files retained).

---

## 4. Check 3 — Branch Hygiene

### 4.1 Branch hierarchy

```
main (ba928cf — v0.4 merged)
  └─ milestone/v0.5-live-assist (b621cb6 — P2 ship, == base of phase/03)
       └─ phase/03-final-review-ship (2627923 — P3 verify, CURRENT, 2 commits ahead)
```

- `main` → `milestone/v0.5-live-assist` → `phase/03-final-review-ship`: hierarchy correct ✅
  - `git merge-base --is-ancestor main milestone/v0.5-live-assist` → ✅
  - `git merge-base --is-ancestor milestone/v0.5-live-assist phase/03-final-review-ship` → ✅
- `milestone/v0.5-live-assist` exists, points to P2 ship commit `b621cb6` (latest P2 ship). ✅
- `phase/03-final-review-ship` is the current branch (marked `*` in `git branch -vv`), 2 commits ahead of milestone (P0-fix `5373df2` + verify `2627923`), not yet merged. ✅

### 4.2 v0.5 phase branches created + deleted post-merge

The v0.5 milestone used phase branches during execution (confirmed via reflog):
- `phase/00-pre-execution` (tip `3649344` per reflog) — worked on, merged to milestone, deleted
- `phase/01-assist-core-guardrail` (tip `fb26d33` per reflog) — worked on, merged to milestone, deleted
- `phase/02-integration-techdebt-nfr` (tip `38b97ee` per reflog) — worked on, merged to milestone, deleted

`git branch -a` confirms none of these exist locally or on remote — they were deleted post-merge. ✅ This matches the audit prompt's expectation ("Old phase branches phase/00, phase/01, phase/02 are DELETED").

**Merge pattern note:** v0.5 used a **linear direct-commit** pattern (phase work committed as `feat(P01)`/`feat(P02)`/`docs(P00)` directly to `milestone/v0.5-live-assist`, single-parent) rather than v0.4's `feat(milestone): merge phase/NN` squash-merge pattern. The reflog shows the phase branches existed during execution, so the work was done on phase branches then merged (likely fast-forward or squash-then-delete). The result is a linear milestone history with `feat(PNN)` commits. This is valid + traceable (the `---ci---` blocks + commit prefixes preserve phase boundaries). Non-blocking — the v0.4 squash-merge pattern with retained phase branches is preferred for explicit phase-boundary integrity, but the v0.5 pattern is acceptable.

### 4.3 Old phase branches from prior milestones (informational, non-blocking)

`git branch -a` shows retained phase branches from v0.2/v0.3/v0.4:
- `phase/01-lxc-deploy` (v0.2)
- `phase/01-mastery-core` (v0.3)
- `phase/01-operator-foundation` (v0.4)
- `phase/02-cohort-dashboard` (v0.4)
- `phase/02-final-review-ship` (v0.3 — shared name, points to v0.3 tip `056ce01`)
- `remotes/origin/phase/01-minimal-voice-loop` (v0.1)

These are retained per the housekeeping pattern (branches kept for traceability across milestones). Not v0.5-stale. The v0.4 audit (§C.4) noted the same retention + recommended optional cleanup post-merge-to-main. Non-blocking.

### 4.4 No stale/dangling branches for v0.5

`git branch -vv` shows no orphaned v0.5 phase branches (they were deleted post-merge per §4.2). ✅

**Branch hygiene verdict: PASS.**

---

## 5. Check 4 — Commit Discipline

### 5.1 Every phase has a ship commit with `---ci---` block

| Phase | Ship commit | `---ci---` | Tag |
|-------|-------------|-----------|-----|
| P0 | `fb26d33` docs(ship): phase 0 complete | ✅ phase:0, milestone:v0.5, status:complete | v0.1.10 |
| P1 | `38b97ee` docs(ship): P1 complete | ✅ phase:1, milestone:v0.5, status:complete | v0.1.11 |
| P2 | `b621cb6` docs(ship): P2 complete | ✅ phase:2, milestone:v0.5, status:complete | v0.1.12 |

✅

### 5.2 All 9 commits have `---ci---` blocks with required fields

`git log v0.1.9..HEAD --pretty=%B | grep -c "^---ci---"` = 9 = number of commits `v0.1.9..HEAD`. No missing blocks. ✅

Field distribution (`git log v0.1.9..HEAD --pretty=%B | grep -E "^project:|^phase:|^milestone:|^status:" | sort | uniq -c`):
- `project: praxis` × 9 (all commits) ✅
- `milestone: v0.5` × 8 + `milestone: v0.4` × 1 (the v0.4 completion base commit `ba928cf`) ✅
- `phase: 0` × 2, `phase: 1` × 2, `phase: 2` × 2, `phase: 3` × 3 (P0-fix + verify + ... ) ✅
- `status: complete` × 7, `status: verify` × 2 (P3 commits) ✅

The P1/P2 merge commits (`81d4366`, `bdcf793`) carry full `---ci---` blocks with `requirements.covered` + `requirements.partial: []`. The ship commits carry `project/phase/milestone/status`. The P3 commits (`5373df2`, `2627923`) carry `phase_role: final_review` + `verdict`/`lessons`. ✅

### 5.3 Conventional-commit format

All 9 commits use conventional prefixes:
- `docs(milestone):` — v0.4 completion (`ba928cf`) ✅
- `docs(P00):` / `docs(ship):` — P0 merge + ship (`5290d4d`, `fb26d33`) ✅
- `feat(P01):` / `docs(ship):` — P1 merge + ship (`81d4366`, `38b97ee`) ✅
- `feat(P02):` / `docs(ship):` — P2 merge + ship (`bdcf793`, `b621cb6`) ✅
- `fix(P03):` / `verify(P03):` — P3 P0-fix + verify (`5373df2`, `2627923`) ✅

Consistent with the v0.2/v0.3/v0.4 style (with the v0.5-specific `PNN` scope instead of `milestone`). ✅

### 5.4 No secrets in commit messages

`git log v0.1.9..HEAD --pretty=%B | grep -iE "GITEA_TOKEN|password|OLLAMA_API_KEY|DEEPGRAM_API_KEY|CARTESIA_API_KEY|PRAXIS_PG_PASSWORD|PRAXIS_COOKIE_SECRET"` returned one hit: `cookie-secret` in the P2 merge commit body — this is a **false positive** (it describes the tech-debt fix "cookie-secret length validation", not a secret value). No actual secret values (tokens, passwords, keys) found in any commit message. ✅

### 5.5 Tag sequence

v0.1.9 (main, v0.4) < v0.1.10 (P0) < v0.1.11 (P1) < v0.1.12 (P2) < v0.1.13 (next, not yet created = v0.5 milestone release). Strictly increasing, no skips. All annotated. ✅

**Commit discipline verdict: PASS.**

## 6. Issues Found

### 6.1 Critical issues

**None.** No reconstruction mismatch, no missing files, no broken branch hierarchy, no missing REQ coverage, no unaddressed grill MUSTs, no secrets in commits.

### 6.2 Important issues (stale-status drift — not auto-fixed)

12 stale-status fields across 5 files (PROJECT.md, ROADMAP.md, REQUIREMENTS.md, CHECKPOINT.json, config.json) — all set during P0 SPECIFY, never advanced as P1/P2 shipped. Same drift class as the v0.4 P3 audit. See §3.4 for the full table. **Severity: important** (stale docs, but the authoritative state in git log + tags + REVIEW/VERIFY is correct + consistent).

### 6.3 Nits

- `config.json:7` `"status": "phase-0-active"` — informational field, CHECKPOINT.json is the source of truth. Severity: nit.
- v0.5 used a linear direct-commit merge pattern (phase branches deleted post-merge) rather than v0.4's squash-merge-with-retained-branches pattern. Both are valid; the v0.4 pattern is preferred for explicit phase-boundary integrity. Severity: nit (process variation, non-blocking).

### 6.4 Non-issues (verified clean)

- All 16 v0.5 REQ-IDs covered in commit blocks + REVIEW-v0.5.md + VERIFY-P1/P2-v0.5.md + CHECKPOINT.json. ✅
- Both grill MUSTs (G-049, G-067) resolved + documented in REVIEW-v0.5.md + CHECKPOINT.json. ✅
- ESCALATION-01 (PIPEDA) documented as OPEN for human legal review — correctly escalated, not a CI-resolvable issue. ✅
- 8 v0.4 P1+ tech-debt findings all addressed in P2 SLICE-12 (REVIEW-v0.5.md §"8 v0.4 P1+ Tech-Debt Wave"). ✅
- 1 P0 fix applied during P3 (guardrail processor buffers LLM text before TTS — REQ-ASSIST-03 safety-critical). ✅
- 469 tests pass, 45 skipped (all env-gated), 0 failed (REVIEW-v0.5.md). ✅

## 7. Recommendations

Non-blocking, for the ship orchestrator (post-audit):

1. **Advance the 12 stale-status fields** before/during ship (the same fix the v0.4 P3 audit applied):
   - PROJECT.md:4 → `phase 3 — final review; P0-P2 complete (v0.1.10/v0.1.11/v0.1.12 tagged)`
   - ROADMAP.md:3-4, 15, 19 → `phase 3 final review` + Phase 0 `complete — tagged v0.1.10`
   - REQUIREMENTS.md:3-4 → `phase 3 final review; 16/16 v0.5 REQ covered`; lines 14-70 → all 16 v0.5 REQs `complete`
   - CHECKPOINT.json → `phase: 3, stage: in_progress, phase_role: final_review` (tag remains v0.1.12, requirements/grill/test fields unchanged)
   - config.json:7 → `"status": "phase-3-final-review"` (optional — informational)
2. **Ship**: tag `v0.1.13` (= v0.5 milestone release), merge `milestone/v0.5-live-assist` → `main`, create Gitea release. The audit found no blockers; the orchestrator delegates to ship after this audit.
3. **On ship**: advance CHECKPOINT.json to `phase: 3, stage: complete, milestone_complete: true, milestone_merged_to_main: true, tag: v0.1.13` (the audit recommends setting it to `in_progress` now; ship advances it to `complete`).
4. **Carry-forward the 8 P1+ items** (from REVIEW-v0.5.md §P1+ Flagged) to the v0.6 backlog: (1) PII retention cleanup not scheduled, (2) scenario-tag prompt injection unsanitized, (3) end_session_assist doesn't persist turn/block counts, (4) WebRTC reconnect offer-event not wired, (5) no concurrent shift-start race test, (6) cache I/O on every session-end hook, (7) nightly_trend bypasses PraxisStore API, (8) nightly_trend fn_candidates include truncated tts_text. All non-blocking with mitigations present.
5. **ESCALATION-01 (PIPEDA)** remains OPEN for human legal review before the assist surface goes live. The engineering mitigations (consent disclosure D-070 + PII redaction REQ-IDEATE-05 + local SQLite + 30-day retention) are implemented regardless. This is a post-ship human action item, not a CI-resolvable issue.
6. **Branch cleanup (optional, post-merge-to-main)**: the prior-milestone phase branches (`phase/01-lxc-deploy`, `phase/01-mastery-core`, `phase/02-final-review-ship` from v0.3, `phase/01-operator-foundation`, `phase/02-cohort-dashboard` from v0.4) are retained per housekeeping pattern; consider deleting after v0.5 merges to main if a cleanup pass is desired. Not blocking.
7. **For v0.6**: consider restoring the v0.4 squash-merge pattern (retained phase branches + `feat(milestone): merge phase/NN` commits) for explicit phase-boundary integrity. The v0.5 linear direct-commit pattern is valid but loses the explicit merge-commit phase boundaries.

## 8. Final Verdict

# ⚠️ NEEDS_ATTENTION

The v0.5 milestone (Live Assist — On-the-Job Voice Companion) is **healthy and ready for milestone ship (v0.1.13 = v0.5)** after the ship orchestrator advances 12 stale-status fields:

- **Reconstruction (PASS):** git log (9 commits v0.1.9..HEAD covers P0/P1/P2/P3) matches ROADMAP phase progression; `---ci---` blocks match declared phase/milestone; tags v0.1.10/v0.1.11/v0.1.12 annotated + point to correct commits; all 16 v0.5 REQ-IDs covered in commit blocks (12 in P1 + 4 in P2 = 16, no overlap/gaps).
- **File discipline (NEEDS_ATTENTION):** all 13 expected `.ciagent/` files present + current content; v0.4/v0.3/v0.2/v0.1 reference files retained; internally consistent (16 REQs across PROJECT/REQUIREMENTS/CHECKPOINT/ROADMAP/REVIEW); **12 stale-status fields** across 5 files (PROJECT/ROADMAP/REQUIREMENTS/CHECKPOINT/config.json) — same drift class as v0.4 P3 audit; NOT auto-fixed (audit surfaces, does not fix).
- **Branch hygiene (PASS):** main → milestone/v0.5 → phase/03 hierarchy correct; v0.5 phase branches created + deleted post-merge (confirmed via reflog); old v0.2/v0.3/v0.4 phase branches retained (housekeeping pattern).
- **Commit discipline (PASS):** all 9 commits have `---ci---` blocks; correct `project: praxis` + `milestone: v0.5`; conventional-commit prefixes; no secrets in commit messages; tag sequence strictly increasing.

**No critical issues.** The 12 stale-status fields are documentation drift (status fields set during P0 SPECIFY, never advanced), not logic/data/scope errors. The authoritative state lives in the git log + tags + REVIEW-v0.5.md + VERIFY-P1/P2-v0.5.md + CHECKPOINT.json's non-status fields, all of which are consistent + correct.

The v0.5 implementation is independently verified by:
- **REVIEW-v0.5.md** (P3 multi-persona code review): APPROVE_WITH_NOTES, 5/5 personas PASS, 1 P0 fix applied (guardrail processor safety-critical), 8 P1+ flagged (all non-blocking carry-forward to v0.6)
- **VERIFY-P1-v0.5.md**: APPROVE_WITH_NOTES, 12/12 REQ, 5 P1+
- **VERIFY-P2-v0.5.md**: APPROVE_WITH_NOTES, 4/4 REQ, 3 P1+
- **GRILL-v0.5.md**: 39 decisions, 2 MUSTs (G-049, G-067) resolved, 1 escalation (ESCALATION-01 PIPEDA — OPEN for human legal review)
- **Tests**: 469 pytest pass / 45 skip / 0 fail; npm build succeeds

The orchestrator delegates to ship after this audit. Do NOT ship from this audit. Advance the 12 stale-status fields first (recommendation #1).
