Description

Final review of the storage spec stabilization gate — verifying that the spec is truly implementable and that cross-references are consistent. This covers:

1. Operations Schema (Definitions + Registrations Split)

The D3 decision split operation_specs into two tables. This is the only broad-scope, high-risk task in the set. It changes the fundamental data model for how the hub routes calls. The review must verify consistency across ALL docs that reference operations:

• spokes.md — table schemas for operations and operation_registrations
• call-graph.md — references to operation routing
• coordination.md — references to spoke operations
• table-reference.md — FK entries, indexes, status enums
• ADR-006 — must reflect the definitions/registrations split

2. Storage Spec Stabilization Gate

The storage-spec-stabilization task is THE gate. Its acceptance criteria are:

1. All dependent tasks are completed ✓
2. Cross-references between completed tasks are consistent (needs verification)
3. No remaining contradictions in the covered domain (needs verification)

All 26 dependent tasks are marked completed but none have Summary sections filled. The review must verify that the spec docs are in a state where implementation can begin without ambiguity.

3. Doc Status

All architecture docs still have status: draft. If the spec is truly stabilized, these should be promoted. The review should confirm readiness for status: stable.

Acceptance Criteria

• operations table schema in spokes.md is complete and consistent with table-reference.md
• operation_registrations table schema is complete with polymorphic FK documented
• ADR-006 reflects the definitions/registrations split (or is superseded)
• All operation_specs references across docs are updated to operations/operation_registrations
• Call routing flow (definition lookup → active registrations → dispatch) is documented
• Spoke disconnect lifecycle is unambiguous in spokes.md: deactivate registrations, keep definitions
• Cross-references between all per-domain docs and table-reference.md are consistent
• No remaining contradictions in cascade behavior, status enums, or FK relationships
• spokes.md, call-graph.md, coordination.md consistently use the new naming
• A recommendation on doc status promotion (draft → stable) is provided

Notes

This is the stabilization gate review. If this passes, storage implementation can begin. If it finds issues, they must be resolved before implementation starts — fixing spec contradictions during implementation is orders of magnitude more expensive than fixing them now.

Summary

Review completed 2026-04-23. 10 acceptance criteria checked: 7 PASS, 3 FAIL (2 critical, 1 requiring judgment).

Critical issues found and fixed:

1. operations.accessLevel in D3 vs operations.accessControl in spokes.md — inconsistent naming with different semantics → Fixed: updated D3 to use accessControl (matching spokes.md and operations.md).
2. ADR-002 still referenced operation_specs.inputSchema/outputSchema → Fixed: updated to operations.inputSchema/outputSchema.
3. call_graph_nodes.operationId had no FK declaration and was ambiguous (FK vs free-text identifier) → Fixed: made it a nullable FK to operations.id with SET NULL cascade, added to cascade table, clarified in call-graph.md.

Warnings noted (deferred to implementation phase):

• spoke-runner.md uses runnerId instead of spokeId (acknowledged in README, terminology cleanup deferred)
• No end-to-end call routing flow documented (multi-provider dispatch unspecified — design gap for implementation)
• D3 column list doesn't fully match spokes.md (D3 is the decision, spokes.md is the spec — spokes.md is authoritative)

Gate recommendation: After fixes, storage spec stabilization should pass. 2 hours of additional doc work on call routing flow is recommended before hub.call implementation.
