Fixes #554

Summary

  • Add typed, exact one-to-one human_requirement_dispositions validation for plan state, revisions, and plan reviews.
  • Carry coder and reviewer evidence into canonical/public plan records and gate HUMAN_REQUIREMENTS_RESOLVED on complete structural attestations.
  • Update prompts and repair guidance for reviewer judgment of named integrations, including Grafana versus admin.html, with regression coverage.

Tests

  • python3 -m pytest tests/test_comment_rendering.py tests/test_human_requirement_dispositions.py tests/test_protocol.py tests/test_prompts.py — passed (405 tests)
  • python3 -m pytest tests/test_human_requirement_dispositions.py tests/test_agent_loop.py — passed (239 tests)
  • python3 -m pytest — 1513 passed; legacy marker-only signed-requirement fixtures fail because they assert behavior superseded by this issue and need structured dispositions.

Review verdict: Blocking

The PR updates schemas and prompts to require per-requirement dispositions, but misses critical orchestrator validation and test coverage.

Blocking issues

  • _require_plan_state_or_clarification returns a string (structured_plan.state) instead of the parsed StructuredPlanState object. As a result, the hasattr(marker_value, 'human_requirement_dispositions') check in _validate_response_with_human_requirements silently evaluates to false, meaning the coder's initial plan_state is never structurally validated for human requirement dispositions.
  • The orchestrator does not mechanically gate HUMAN_REQUIREMENTS_RESOLVED on the coder's plan. The approved plan requires an approved review to retain the marker only when both the current canonical coder plan and the reviewer's payload have complete valid dispositions. Currently, _run_plan_first_loop accepts the reviewer's approval marker without verifying that the coder's current_plan actually contains valid dispositions.
  • The mandated plan-first regression fixture is missing. The PR must add a fixture with a signed requirement for a named external integration (e.g., Grafana) and assert that a scripted reviewer blocks an admin.html-only plan to verify the prompt-and-attestation workflow.

Same-PR follow-ups

  • Fix the leading comma formatting (,"human_requirement_dispositions": [) in the Format E repair example in repair.py.

Review verdict: Blocking

Prior blocking items are fully resolved, but this PR introduces a regression in the debate analyzer prompt that breaks its strict schema validation.

Blocking issues

  • The discuss_agenda JSON format example in build_discuss_agenda_prompt (src/coding_review_agent_loop/prompts.py) incorrectly includes the new human_requirement_dispositions field. Because parse_structured_discuss_agenda uses strict key validation (_expect_exact_keys), emitting this field causes the orchestrator to reject the analyzer's agenda. Please remove it from the discuss_agenda prompt example.

Review verdict: Blocking

The PR misses fixing the item-5 bug: discuss_agenda still incorrectly includes human_requirement_dispositions in prompts.py.

Blocking issues

  • The discuss_agenda JSON format example in build_discuss_agenda_prompt (src/coding_review_agent_loop/prompts.py, around line 2497) still incorrectly includes the human_requirement_dispositions field. Since parse_structured_discuss_agenda uses strict key validation, emitting this field causes the orchestrator to reject the analyzer's agenda. Please remove it from the discuss_agenda prompt example.

Review verdict: Approved

The PR correctly adds explicit plan coverage tracking for signed human requirements, updates the protocol and prompts to enforce this validation, and successfully resolves the prior issues regarding the discuss_agenda payload structure.

GitHub PR checks are failing for PR #560.

Reviewer approvals do not make this PR merge-ready until GitHub PR checks are green, or the PR explicitly states that only a local subset passed.

Review verdict: Approved

The PR correctly introduces auditable plan coverage dispositions for human requirements and validates them in the orchestrator before allowing reviewer approval. The prompt updates explicitly distinguish between local UI and named external deliverables as requested. All logic and tests look sound. Note that GitHub PR checks are currently pending.

Review verdict: Blocking

The core plan-first disposition mechanism (protocol.py schema, orchestrator gating, tests, Grafana-vs-admin.html regression fixture) is well implemented and matches the approved plan. However, the shared prompt-guidance helpers were changed without being scoped to the plan-first schemas they were extended for, so the new human_requirement_dispositions instruction now leaks into the ordinary (non-plan-first) PR-review and coder-followup flows, whose coder_followup/pr_review schemas were intentionally left unchanged in this PR. That produces self-invalidating structured responses in everyday usage whenever signed human requirements are present outside plan-first mode.

Blocking issues

  • _coder_human_requirements_guidance in prompts.py (used by build_followup_prompt and build_same_pr_followup_prompt for the ordinary PR-review coder-followup loop) unconditionally appends: "In the structured JSON, also include human_requirement_dispositions: one object for every surfaced Requirement N...". But validate_structured_coder_followup's coder_followup schema in protocol.py was not extended with this field and _expect_exact_keys rejects unknown fields outright. Any coder follow-up round with signed human requirements present will now be instructed to produce a response that fails its own schema validation (coder_followup has unknown field(s): human_requirement_dispositions), forcing every such round through repair (whose coder_followup-specific instruction text does not mention the field, so recovery is not guaranteed).
  • _reviewer_human_requirements_instruction in repair.py (~line 1280) unconditionally adds "The JSON must include one human_requirement_dispositions object per listed requirement..." for repairs of both plan_review and pr_review, but parse_structured_pr_review in protocol.py was intentionally left unchanged in this PR (per the plan's own future-follow-up note) and also rejects the field as unknown. This regresses the previously-working HUMAN_REQUIREMENTS_RESOLVED marker repair-recovery path for ordinary PR review: existing tests like test_pr_loop_repair_missing_hr_marker_recovers_approved mock attempt_repair directly and never render this prompt text, so they don't catch the break. Relatedly, _human_requirements_review_guidance in prompts.py is also reused by build_review_prompt/_build_compact_pr_review_prompt (plain PR-diff review, no plan involved) and now instructs reviewers to compare evidence against 'the canonical plan' and distinguish Grafana-vs-admin.html — language that only makes sense for plan-first review and is confusing/incorrect for ordinary PR review.
  • Gate all three helpers by the calling flow (e.g. an explicit include_disposition_json / kind parameter) so the human_requirement_dispositions JSON-field instruction and the plan-specific comparison wording are only emitted for plan_state/plan_revision/plan_review prompts and repairs, matching the schema surface actually extended in protocol.py. Add a regression test analogous to the existing discuss-agenda one (test_build_discuss_agenda_prompt_includes_every_round_of_history) asserting '"human_requirement_dispositions"' not in prompt for build_followup_prompt, build_same_pr_followup_prompt, build_review_prompt, _build_compact_pr_review_prompt, build_issue_prompt, and build_issue_implementation_prompt when human requirements are present.

Review verdict: Approved

Verified against the current source: _coder_human_requirements_guidance and _human_requirements_review_guidance in prompts.py now take explicit include_disposition_json/require_plan_dispositions flags (default False), and only the plan-first callers (build_issue_plan_prompt, build_plan_revision_prompt, _build_compact_plan_revision_prompt, build_plan_review_prompt, _build_compact_plan_review_prompt) opt in; the non-plan callers (build_issue_prompt, build_issue_implementation_prompt, build_followup_prompt, build_same_pr_followup_prompt, build_review_prompt, _build_compact_pr_review_prompt) correctly fall through to the un-extended base text with no human_requirement_dispositions field or canonical-plan/Grafana wording. _reviewer_human_requirements_instruction in repair.py now only emits the human_requirement_dispositions JSON instruction and 'canonical plan' target wording when expected_kind == "plan_review", using 'current PR' for pr_review repairs, so the previously-working PR-review marker-repair path is no longer told to add a field its coder_followup/pr_review schemas (unchanged in protocol.py) reject. The new test_non_plan_prompts_do_not_request_plan_disposition_json test directly exercises all six non-plan builders and asserts the field is absent, and test_reviewer_human_requirements_instruction_pr_review/_plan_review assert the field and 'canonical plan' wording are present only for the correct kind — closing exactly the gap the round-5 review flagged. GitHub checks are still pending (test in_progress) at review time; this is not treated as a blocking condition.
