docs(backlog): items 232-239 declared no status, turning main red - #82
Merged
Conversation
PR #80 appended eight Steps-view items to docs/BACKLOG.md without the status banner every numbered item must carry, so tests/test_backlog_status_check.py::test_the_real_backlog_satisfies_the_invariant began failing on main itself (8 errors, first at line 6905). Because GitHub tests each PR merged into main, every open PR inherited the failure: #81, #74, #71, #66 and #60 were all blocked, three of them with auto-merge armed and unable to fire. Adds exactly one leading banner per item. Seven use the open/prioritized form; #239 uses the partial form, because its measurement ran and is recorded on PR #81 while the re-runnable scripts/quality/lens_coverage.py is still unmerged -- the number is not yet reproducible from main. The banners are deliberately minimal and do not re-litigate any item's verdict. #234 in particular is left explicitly unsettled rather than entrenched: it was filed as "revisit, not a bug" after the owner asked for a fix, and that framing is still open. Verified: scripts/docs/backlog_status_check.py exits 0 (237 items) and tests/test_backlog_status_check.py is 15 passed, was 14 passed 1 failed. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

What broke
PR #80 appended eight Steps-view items (#232–#239) to
docs/BACKLOG.mdwithout the status banner every numbered item must carry.tests/test_backlog_status_check.py::test_the_real_backlog_satisfies_the_invarianthas been failing onmainitself ever since — 8 errors, first at line 6905:Because GitHub tests each PR merged into main, every open PR inherited it and failed the three required
testcontexts (ubuntu-latest, windows-2022, windows-2025 @ py3.14):Worth noting the loop this created: #74 is the fix for "prune-merged removed a worktree a live session was working in", and there are currently several live worktree sessions. The red main was blocking the fix for a bug that can delete a live session's worktree.
The fix
Exactly one leading banner per item, nothing else. Seven use the open/prioritized form (
🔢), matching the existing**Filed 2026-07-11.**precedent in this file.#239uses the partial form (🚧) instead, because that is what is true: the scan ran (388 files · 145 handlers · 1,423 rows · 0 refusals; editable share 42.0%) and the result is recorded on PR #81, butscripts/quality/lens_coverage.pyis still unmerged — so the number is not yet reproducible frommain. Marking it✅would be the exact "doc that lies about build state" this gate exists to prevent.What this deliberately does not do
The banners do not re-litigate any item's verdict. #234 is left explicitly unsettled rather than entrenched — it was filed as "revisit — do not treat as a bug" after the owner asked for the fix to be put on the backlog, and that framing is still an open question for the owner, not something a CI-unblocking PR should quietly ratify.
