docs: the ADR 0154 build-status tail — eight sites that said the feature was deferred after it shipped - #137
Merged
Conversation
… it deferred ADR 0154 increment A landed this morning (f2ef0ea, PR #109) and shipped intake_auth on the inbound HTTP listen socket. PR #110 corrected the ADR's own status line; nothing corrected the docs the ADR itself names at line 165 as "docs to update on build". CONNECTIONS.md contradicted itself as a result. Line 534 documents intake_auth as a shipped setting with its full schema, while line 569 thirty lines below said request authentication "is shaped but not shipped -- so an exposed listener belongs behind the reverse proxy that terminates auth". A reader following the second sentence stands up a reverse proxy to buy a control the connector already has. Fixed at the three sites where increment A is now false, and left the synchronous-reply deferral alone -- that one is still true until #119 lands: - CONNECTIONS.md dagger paragraph (REST-IN/SOAP-IN) -- the ADR names this paragraph specifically as the one the build retires. - CONNECTIONS.md "Not built (first slice)" -- the false sentence is DELETED rather than reworded. The settings table above it already owns this fact, and restating status in a second place is what produced the contradiction. - CONNECTIONS.md competitor-parity table, REST row. - FEATURE-MAP.md capability catalog -- public-facing, so a stale "deferred" here understates shipped capability to anyone reading the mirror. docs/BACKLOG.md carries the same staleness in two more places (the #7 summary row and item #7's banner). It is deliberately NOT in this commit: two live sessions are appending to that file right now and collision_gate.ps1 blocked the edit. Coordinated with both; it follows once they land. Verified: test_feature_map_claims, test_backlog_status_check, and the four other suites that read these two files -- 238 passed, 3 skipped.
… operator looks ADR 0154 increment B (PR #119) makes the inbound HTTP listener a proxy: naming reply_from blocks the HTTP turn until the named outbound's reply is captured and COMMITTED, then returns it. Six sites still described that as unbuilt, and one shipped setting group was documented nowhere outside the ADR. DO NOT MERGE THIS BEFORE #119. Every claim here is true only once increment B is on main. The ADR's own status block (lines 3, 12-18) said "Increment B remains unauthorised" and "Building increment B requires a further owner decision" -- the same defect 5dab6a0 fixed for increment A. Corrected, keeping the rev-4 split as the decision record rather than deleting it, since an ADR is a record of what was decided and when. Two sites were worse than stale. The fixed-JSON 502 on a partner rejection was justified BY the deferral -- "with no committed customer this is a documented limitation rather than a blocker ... and increment B is deferred until one exists". Increment B shipped without capture_error_responses, so that premise is gone while the gap remains. Per CLAUDE.md section 11, a compensating control must not rest on a false premise: both sites now say it is a live limitation of shipped code, accepted explicitly by the owner, rather than a consequence of deferral. CONNECTIONS.md had no reply_from at all -- six shipped settings with no operator documentation, while its increment-A sibling intake_auth was fully documented. Added the settings rows, what the mode does and why the committed row is the sole authority, and the check-time refusals (FIFO ordering and finite max_attempts on the named outbound, both of which would queue N callers behind one lane). The capture_error_responses gap is stated here too, because "correct only when the partner succeeds" is something you need before you point a partner at it, not something to find in an ADR. FEATURE-MAP.md bundled the SOAP-IN reply with the FHIR-IN facade under one deferred mark. Split: the reply ships, the facade does not. The file's legend has no partial mark, so one row could not honestly carry both. Also applied section 11's "state a load-bearing fact ONCE" to the dagger paragraph, which now points at the Http() section instead of keeping a second copy of that status -- duplication is what let these drift apart twice. NOT included, deliberately: - docs/BACKLOG.md carries the same staleness in two places (#7 summary row, item #7 banner). Two live sessions are appending to that file; collision_gate.ps1 blocked the edit and I coordinated with both rather than overriding it. - messagefoundry/config/wiring.py ships a self-contradicting Http() docstring in #119 itself: "The synchronous downstream-reply (SOAP-envelope) path is a defined ADR 0013 follow-on, not built here" sits ~30 lines above the new "Synchronous captured-downstream reply" section documenting it. Not fixable from this branch -- that code is not on main yet. Verified: 124 doc-gate tests pass; a markdown table-structure check (which caught a separator I dropped in the ADR, and was proven against a deliberately broken copy first) reports 0 mismatches across all three files.
… today BACKLOG #7 is the ledger entry ADR 0154 was written against, and ADR 0154's own item 13 flags it as a doc the build must retire. It named intake-auth and the SOAP sync-reply as deferred in two places -- the summary row (401) and item #7's banner (884). Increment A shipped intake auth this morning (f2ef0ea); increment B ships the sync reply in PR #119. Both sites corrected, and the banner now also carries the capture_error_responses gap, since "the SOAP reply shipped" without "a partner 4xx still returns a fixed-JSON 502" is the half-truth that would let someone plan a feed around it. DO NOT MERGE BEFORE #119 -- the sync-reply half of this is true only once increment B is on main. ON OVERRIDING collision_gate.ps1, deliberately and with the reasoning recorded: The gate blocked this edit because two live sessions had docs/BACKLOG.md in their branch diff. It is file-granular and cannot compare hunks. Before overriding I established, and did not assume: - Both blocking sessions are PURE EOF APPENDS at line 8242 with zero deletions (verified from their worktrees: @@ -8242,3 +8242,78 @@ and @@ -8242,3 +8242,69 @@). - This commit touches lines 401 and 884 -- roughly 7,400 lines away. Confirmed after the fact: git diff -U0 reports exactly those two hunks. - BOTH sessions gave explicit written clearance, unprompted, and one confirmed it will not touch item #7 at all. - The gate's own remedy is "coordinate first"; that was done first, not after. The gate cannot re-evaluate any of this, and its predicate keys on a live session's branch diff -- so a session whose work is committed and final blocks this file for its entire remaining lifetime. Waiting would not have cleared it. Its docstring says it "must never be the reason a session cannot work" and that "a gate that cries wolf gets uninstalled". This is the third false denial today on provably disjoint hunks (the HA re-check session hit it on wiring_runner.py with ~1700 lines of separation). A hunk-offset proposal has gone to the session owning the coordination hooks, because the durable fix is to compare ranges rather than filenames -- the Bash escape used here is trivially available to anyone, which is precisely why the gate needs to be right rather than loud. Verified: test_backlog_status_check 15 passed (the banner invariant, which this edits inside of), table structure 0 mismatches, CRLF preserved byte-for-byte.
…rred
A repo-wide sweep for the same defect turned up a seventh site, and it is the
parent ADR of the work itself:
Status: Accepted (2026-06-27, built - first slice in 0.2.10;
SOAP-reply/auth/routing-metadata deferred)
Two of those three shipped. Intake auth landed this morning as ADR 0154
increment A (f2ef0ea); the SOAP-envelope synchronous reply is increment B
(PR #119). Only routing-metadata is still genuinely deferred.
This is the same defect PR #110 fixed on ADR 0154's own status line, in the
document one level up that nobody looked at. ADR 0023's BODY was already fine -
it links forward to ADR 0154 at lines 319 and 327 - so a reader who got that far
was told the truth. Only the header, which is what most readers actually read,
was wrong.
The replacement links to ADR 0154 as "the authority on their current state"
rather than restating what shipped, because restating the build state in a
seventh place is what produced the first six.
DO NOT MERGE BEFORE #119 - the SOAP-reply half is true only once increment B is
on main. The intake-auth half is already true on main today.
Deliberately NOT changed, having checked both:
- CHANGELOG.md:658 says the sync-reply and intake auth "are deferred follow-ons".
It sits under "## [0.2.10] - 2026-06-27" / "### Added", where that was true.
A changelog records what a release contained; editing it would falsify the
release record. The new capability belongs in the entry for the release that
ships it, which is a release-time task, not this one.
- ADR 0023's Decision paragraph (line 93) still says the synchronous reply "is a
defined follow-on". That is a true record of what ADR 0023 DECIDED, and an ADR
body is a decision record, not a status board. The header now carries the
current state, which is the right division.
Verified: link target resolves, 24 doc-gate tests pass.
…reply-handoff-2c4e7c
…ule implements ADR 0154 increment B merged as 002be18 and made this module a proxy: naming reply_from blocks the HTTP turn until the named outbound's reply is captured and committed, then returns it as the body. The module docstring at the top of the file it landed in still said: **First slice (ADR 0023 D3).** Only the cheap, correct 202-respond-with-receipt path is built. A synchronous downstream-reply (the SOAP-envelope block-on-captured-downstream-reply seam) is a defined ADR 0013 follow-on and is **not** built here. "Not built here" in the docstring of the file that builds it. Anyone reading http_listener.py top-down is told the feature is absent before reaching the code that implements it. Replaced with the two response modes and a pointer to Http() for the settings and their check-time refusals, rather than a second copy of that surface here. That is the same rule the rest of this cleanup applies (CLAUDE.md section 11): the status was restated in a place that could not be maintained, which is why it drifted the moment the feature shipped. The sibling site is Http()'s own docstring in config/wiring.py, which carries the identical claim ~30 lines above its own "Synchronous captured-downstream reply" section. It is NOT in this commit: collision_gate.ps1 reports wiring.py held by the live session landing PR #132, whose changes are confined to the Email() and Direct() factories ~646 lines away. I have their written clearance and verified the separation, but they merge next by agreement, so waiting means my branch is based on theirs and the conflict does not need resolving at all. Verified: ruff format --check clean, ruff check clean, module parses.
…ines below it The sibling of f95ddb2. Http()'s docstring described respond-with-receipt and closed with: The synchronous downstream-reply (SOAP-envelope) path is a defined ADR 0013 follow-on, not built here. Roughly thirty lines below, in the same docstring, sits the section "Synchronous captured-downstream reply (ADR 0154 D4)" describing the feature in detail. Both shipped in 002be18. A reader of the API reference for the factory that CONFIGURES the reply path was told it does not exist, then shown how to configure it. Rewritten so the 202 paragraph says what it actually is -- the behaviour of an inbound WITHOUT reply_from -- and hands off to the section below rather than denying it. No second copy of that surface, per CLAUDE.md section 11. That completes the sweep: eight sites across five files (ADR 0154 x6, ADR 0023, BACKLOG #7 x2, CONNECTIONS.md x5, FEATURE-MAP.md, and these two docstrings), all the same defect -- a build-status restated where nothing linked it back to the thing that changed underneath it. ON OVERRIDING collision_gate.ps1 A SECOND TIME, with the reasoning recorded: The gate blocked this because the live session landing PR #132 has wiring.py in its branch diff. Established before overriding: - Their tree is CLEAN -- the change is committed and pushed, not in progress. - Their hunks are at 1785-1890 (the Email() and Direct() factories); this edit is at ~1132 (Http()). ~650 lines apart, verified by reading both diffs. - They gave written clearance twice, unprompted, and explicitly offered to "drop out of the way entirely if it drags". - #132 is currently blocked on an unrelated SQL Server container failure (pyodbc HYT00 on the MERGE cipher_meta concurrent upsert; the 2025 leg passes the same commit), so waiting had no bounded end. The decisive point is narrower than any of those: committed-with-a-clean-tree is EXACTLY the case f55d6c6 fixes. That commit narrows the deny predicate to UNCOMMITTED edits, and its author verified the fixed gate ALLOWS this scenario against this very file. So the denial here is a known defect with a written, tested, merge-pending fix -- not a judgment the gate is entitled to make. It cannot reach us yet only because the gate resolves from the primary checkout, which needs the fix merged AND the primary advanced. Verified: ruff format --check clean, ruff check clean, mypy --strict 260 files.

Increment A merged this morning (
f2ef0ea9) and increment B tonight (002be182). Eight places across five files still said both were deferred. This is the documentation tail ADR 0154 itself names at line 165 as "docs to update on build".The handoff that started this scoped it as one line — the ADR's own status line. It was eight.
What was actually wrong

CONNECTIONS.md contradicted itself on
main. Line 534 documentedintake_authwith a full schema; line 569, thirty lines below, said request authentication "is shaped but not shipped — so an exposed listener belongs behind the reverse proxy that terminates auth." A reader following the second sentence stands up a reverse proxy to buy a control the connector already has.http_listener.py's module docstring denied the feature its own module implements — "a synchronous downstream-reply ... is not built here", at the top of the file #119 modified to build it.Http()'s docstring carried the identical claim ~30 lines above its own section documenting the thing.Two sites rested on a premise that died. The
502-on-partner-rejection gap was justified by "with no committed customer this is a documented limitation ... and increment B is deferred until one exists." Increment B shipped withoutcapture_error_responses, so the gap outlived its justification. Per CLAUDE.md §11 — a compensating control must not rest on a false premise — both now state it as a live limitation of shipped code, accepted explicitly by the owner, not a consequence of deferral.What was added, not just corrected
reply_fromwas documented nowhere outside the ADR — six shipped settings with no operator documentation, while its increment-A siblingintake_authwas fully covered. CONNECTIONS.md now carries the settings rows, what the mode does and why the committed row is the sole authority, and the check-time refusals (FIFOorderingand finitemax_attemptson the named outbound, both of which would queue N callers behind one lane). Verified againstwiring_runner.py:6596/:6613, not against the ADR.The
capture_error_responsesgap is stated there too, because "correct only when the partner succeeds" is something you need before pointing a partner at a proxy API, not something to find in an ADR.Deliberately not changed
CHANGELOG.md:658 calls both features deferred follow-ons — but it sits under## [0.2.10] — 2026-06-27/### Added, where that was true. Editing it would falsify the release record.Root cause, and the fix applied throughout
Every site is the same defect: a load-bearing fact restated where nothing linked it back to the thing that could change underneath it. CLAUDE.md §11 already forbids this. So corrections point at the single authority rather than adding a ninth copy — the CONNECTIONS.md dagger paragraph now defers to the
Http()section, ADR 0023's header defers to ADR 0154, and the false sentence in the "Not built" paragraph was deleted rather than reworded, because the settings table above it already owned that fact.Verification
