smoke_tests Railspike debug log

2026-11-04 — one-shot closeout

Necessary/useful instructions

  • AGENTS.md "Record durable project knowledge … in the repository": turned the maintainer's standing test preference into AGENTS.md/CONTRIBUTING.md text rather than private memory. Retain.

  • One-shot "resolve only material ambiguity": the maintainer delegated the two open questions, so they were decided and recorded instead of asked again. Retain.

Redundant/unnecessary instructions

  • No supported findings.

Inapplicable instructions

  • Extended estimates per alternative/stage: none exist in this cycle.

Uncertain assessments

  • Railspike's verification wording ("a focused pass is never a full-suite result") assumes a full suite is part of normal verification. With full runs moved to a periodic maintainer job, a host-level note that "full suite: not run, by policy" is an expected status, not a gap, might help future records read correctly.
