Handoff: evening continuation (2026-05-28)

Companion / continuation:

• session-handoff-2026-05-28-state-audit.md — morning audit (still untracked at the time of writing; recommend committing it alongside this)
• post-sprint-forward-plan-2026-05-25.md — authoritative remaining-work plan (R-* tracks)
• session-handoff-2026-05-25-finalization-pass.md — v0.6.0 unblock declaration

1. Ground truth (verified 2026-05-28 evening)

Signal	Value	Evidence
Local main HEAD	e99f5ca8b6 (docs: repair 28 broken links)	git rev-parse main
origin/main HEAD	eb69bc0809 (telemetry: orch.task.cancelled)	git ls-remote origin main
Commits ahead of origin	1 unpushed (doc-links fix)	git rev-list --count main ^origin/main
Commits behind origin	0	git rev-list --count origin/main ^main
cargo build --workspace	exit 0	run during this session
Workspace test count	4,990 tests (4,989 pass, 1 fail, 231 skipped)	cargo llvm-cov nextest …
Workspace line coverage	54.69% (above 50% floor)	vox run scripts/perf/coverage-report.vox
Open PRs	0	gh pr list --state open
v0.6.0 tag	pushed to origin	git ls-remote --tags origin v0.6.0
Working tree	2 modified files + 2 untracked docs	see §4

Net commits added today: 15 commits between morning main = 2e56706a50 and evening main = e99f5ca8b6. The morning handoff’s [H-1: “15 commits unpushed”] is now down to 1, and [H-4: “PR #90 open”] is now closed.

2. What landed this session (A1–A8 action plan)

The morning audit closed with eight prioritized “highest-leverage actions”. All eight are now complete:

#	Item	Status	Commit(s)
A1	Resolve 22 unowned #[ignore] annotations	✅ closed	5e00170c56
A2	Fix command_catalog_paths_match_baseline	✅ closed	b544076b23
A3	Windows arg-length blocker for cargo llvm-cov	✅ closed	299a65d711
A4	Telemetry events for 4 documented blind spots	✅ closed	3141b14012, 316bb5407b, dace434d7b, eb69bc0809
A5	Promote fixture pattern to vox-test-harness	✅ closed	627dd826f2
A6	Add telemetry event registry	✅ closed	cd73ef826d
A7	Sink round-trip integration tests	✅ closed	24a6d9d45d
A8	Smoke tests for zero-test crates	✅ closed	511063d9ff (+ Group A continuation)

Measured impact:

• Workspace coverage: 51.4% baseline → 54.69% measured today (above the 50% floor).
• vox-arch-check binary: 164s → 6.7s (24× speedup, from earlier in the session).
• vox-arch-check test crate: 117s → 7s (16× speedup).
• Full cargo llvm-cov nextest --workspace: 263s → ~27s.
• Telemetry blind-spots list (contracts/telemetry/events.v1.yaml#blind_spots): 4 → 0.
• #[ignore] policy compliance: 90.6% → 100% (211/233 → 233/233 with owner: markers).
• Zero-test crates: 27 → 1 (and the one remaining, workspace-hack, has no testable surface).

3. What is genuinely outstanding

3.1 From the morning audit’s §3.1 R-* tracks

ID	Description	Status now
R-E D-7-rescope Step 3+ MeshDriver routing	still open	design-decision-gated
R-F D-9-rescope vox-container impls → plugin	still open	no-pressure-gated
R-H F-H / A-19 vox-orchestrator-core extraction	still open; now unblocked	Rule 13 was fixed earlier this session (760dae75da); this becomes the highest-leverage forward item
R-I F-I / A-20 vox-cli-ci extraction	still open	no-pressure-deferred
R-J Stub remediation backlog	still open	per-release-wave
R-K C-2 vox-plugin-mens-candle-metal	still open	hardware-gated
T-FIN-1 discipline-note add to lost-work audit	still open	XS docs only; ≤5 min

3.2 New issues surfaced or carried forward

ID	Description	Action
N-1	vox-cli coverage regression: 30.73% vs 40.00% floor in .config/coverage-gates.toml:18. This is the first real coverage-gate violation since gates were introduced.	Either add tests to bring vox-cli back above floor OR explicitly lower the floor (and document why). Recommended: investigate which CLI surface lost coverage — vox ci tier-budget-check and related new commands likely added lines without tests.
N-2	Pre-existing flaky test: vox-oratio acoustic_preprocess::tests::peak_normalize_scales_quiet_signal. Fails intermittently under cargo llvm-cov nextest. Not blocking (one failure, suite continues with --no-fail-fast), but vox ci pre-push --full --with-coverage will exit non-zero.	Diagnose (numeric / instrumentation timing) and either fix or #[ignore] with owner/sunset.
N-3	The morning handoff doc itself (session-handoff-2026-05-28-state-audit.md) is still untracked in git.	Commit alongside this document (one docs(handoff): 2026-05-28 audits commit covering both).
N-4	crates/vox-cli/src/commands/ci/docs_deprecated_command_guard.rs has an uncommitted addition that excludes docs/superpowers/ from the deprecated-command scan. The change is correct (these are internal plan/spec docs that reference guard logic they would otherwise trigger).	Commit as fix(ci/docs-guard): exclude docs/superpowers/ from deprecated-command scan.
N-5	One unpushed commit on main (e99f5ca8b6 — broken-links fix).	git push origin main after committing N-3/N-4.

3.3 The four “deliberately not touched” tracks (finalization-pass §5)

Unchanged from morning audit. Still scoped out for v0.6.x:

• Mens distributed training (mesh-and-language-distribution-ssot-2026.md §3.5, Mn-T1..T15)
• Telemetry unification rollout — partial: Phase D events done, blind-spots-list cleared, event registry committed. Full rollout (consolidating L0/L1/L2 facades) still pending.
• Vox v1 CR-L1..CR-L8 release criteria — CR-L4 corpus + CR-L5/L6/L8 partial progress this week.
• Vox interop Phase 5 (React bridge) (external-frontend-interop-plan-2026.md)

4. Uncommitted working-tree audit (end of day)

 M .claude/settings.local.json                                     ← local permission additions, not project-affecting
 M crates/vox-cli/src/commands/ci/docs_deprecated_command_guard.rs ← N-4, ready to commit
?? docs/src/architecture/session-handoff-2026-05-28-state-audit.md ← N-3, morning handoff, ready to commit
?? docs/src/architecture/session-handoff-2026-05-28-evening.md     ← this file

Two files genuinely ready to commit (N-3 + N-4); the .claude/settings.local.json change is a local permission allowlist addition (Bash(target/debug/vox.exe ci *)) — commit only if you want the team to share that permission, otherwise leave uncommitted.

5. Recommended next-session priorities

In order of risk-adjusted value:

1. Commit and push. Three commits + push:
   • docs(handoff): 2026-05-28 morning + evening audit notes
   • fix(ci/docs-guard): exclude docs/superpowers/ from deprecated-command scan
   • git push origin main
2. Address N-1 (vox-cli coverage regression). Either add tests or lower the floor with a documented rationale. Recommend: write a Vox script that diffs target/coverage-summary.json per-file to identify which files lost coverage (the data is already there).
3. R-H A-19 vox-orchestrator-core extraction — now unblocked. Highest-leverage forward item.
4. N-2: diagnose acoustic_preprocess::peak_normalize_scales_quiet_signal flake. Either fix or #[ignore] with marker so the pre-push gate goes green.
5. T-FIN-1 discipline note. XS — add the parallel-test-fix discipline note to the lost-work audit. ≤5 min.
6. Adopt the SyntheticWorkspaceBuilder (A5) in at least one other crate (codegen or compiler integration tests) to validate the reuse promise. Otherwise the abstraction risks staying single-customer.
7. Re-baseline contracts/budgets/test-tier-budgets.v1.yaml with the new measured numbers. The current values reflect the pre-fix baselines; with arch-check 24× faster and coverage 10× faster, the budgets are wildly loose.

6. What is genuinely outstanding (one-paragraph summary)

The repo is in a healthy post-v0.6.0 state with one real coverage regression flagged. All eight items from the morning’s action plan landed. The single open follow-up directly traceable to this session is the vox-cli coverage regression (30.73% vs 40% floor) — the system is doing its job by surfacing it. Beyond that: one pre-existing flaky test, two ready-to-commit working-tree changes (one of them this morning’s handoff doc), and the same R-* track items from the 05-25 forward plan — most still gated on decisions, with R-H now unblocked. The four scoped-out v1.0 initiatives (mens distributed training, telemetry rollout completion, CR-L*, React interop) remain the substantive forward work; none is gated by anything broken.
