Make recovery evidence and status rules explicit.

The lifecycle requires RTO, RPO, and accountable owners, but the input contract requires only SLOs. The report schema has only generic Recovery and Next action fields. It also does not define how missing recovery evidence, owners, or approvals map to BLOCKED or PARTIAL. Require explicit RTO, RPO, target, evidence, gaps, and remediation-owner fields. Define PASSED only when all applicable evidence is present.

Proposed report rules
-Status: PASSED | FAILED | BLOCKED | PARTIAL
+Status: PASSED | FAILED | BLOCKED | PARTIAL
+Status rules: PASSED requires evidence for all applicable controls.
+PARTIAL means runtime or recovery evidence is missing.
+BLOCKED means required input, approval, or ownership is missing.
...
-Recovery: restart, replay, failover, restore, verification evidence
+Recovery objectives: RTO, RPO, target, evidence, gaps
+Recovery: restart, replay, failover, restore, verification evidence
+Remediation owner: accountable owner for each required action

77-80: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Scope the retry deadline invariant to the execution model.

This specification reviews queues and workers, but Invariant 1 refers only to a caller’s remaining deadline. Asynchronous work may have no live caller. Evaluate the message or job deadline, lease or visibility timeout, retention window, and shutdown budget for asynchronous retries.

Proposed invariant
-**Invariant 1:** Retry duration never exceeds the caller's remaining deadline.
+**Invariant 1:** For synchronous calls, retry duration never exceeds the caller's
+remaining deadline. For asynchronous work, retry duration fits the applicable
+message or job deadline, lease or visibility timeout, retention window, and
+shutdown budget.

Define measurable budgets for simulations.

“Bounded” and “safe” are qualitative. The contract defines no maximum duration, request or event volume, concurrency, resource usage, or abort threshold. Add per-run limits before approving local simulations or fault injection. Otherwise, an approved simulation can exhaust the test environment.

agents/performance-profiler.md defines bounded duration and concurrency under its safety-budget section. Align this contract with that pattern.

Proposed safety-budget fields
 - Review bounded dependency paths and finite retry or timeout configurations.
 - Stop before any test could overload a system or alter durable state.
++ Require a per-run budget for duration, requests or events, concurrency,
++ resource usage, and an explicit abort threshold.

Clarify the credential transport and logging check.

Line 177 says credentials are “accepted through unsafe transport or logging paths.” Logging paths do not accept credentials. This wording can direct the reviewer to the wrong behavior and miss credential transmission or log exposure.

+Verify credentials are transmitted only over approved secure transport and are never

Make audit records time- and policy-bound.

The audit record stores the revision but not the review timestamp or policy version. Add reviewed_at and policy_version, or state that the parent agent supplies them. Without these fields, repeated reviews of the same revision cannot be tied to the review time or policy in force. The neighboring agents/dependency-auditor.md contract records the audit date and policy version.

Major comments:
In `@agents/incident-commander.md`:
- Around line 15-18: Update the Allowed actions guidance for the incident
commander to require validating every proposed diagnostic against scripts,
manifests, or documented interfaces before use, including command availability,
read-only behavior, permissions, and load impact; require recording any untested
assumptions.
- Around line 66-69: Update the extended report schema near the report field
definitions to explicitly include evidence, residual risk, and owned next
actions, matching the Output contract. If existing Timeline or Follow-up fields
are intended to represent any of these, document their canonical mapping instead
of relying on implicit interpretation.
- Around line 252-259: Update the “Security-incident crossover” guidance to
ensure dependency analysis is not a prerequisite for credential rotation. After
plausible compromise, direct the authorized security owner to order immediate
credential rotation or containment under emergency policy when exposure or
active abuse warrants it, while preserving forensic evidence where feasible.
- Around line 89-93: Update the root-cause decision rule in the “Decision rules”
section to gate claims on unresolved material hypotheses only, rather than every
untested hypothesis. Require each material competing hypothesis to be resolved
or explicitly dispositioned, while recording residual uncertainty for
lower-priority hypotheses.
- Around line 125-132: Update the severity definitions in “Severity and
invariants” to state that SEV-1 through SEV-3 thresholds are defaults used only
when no project policy exists, while preserving project-specific severity names
and thresholds when defined. Keep the invariants unchanged.
- Around line 47-51: Update the safety-budget guidance around the “Limits and
safety budgets” section and the rollback/forward-fix guidance to distinguish
non-reversible actions from reversible mitigations. Require explicit change
authority, compatibility evidence, abort criteria, and parent-agent approval
before permitting any non-reversible action; otherwise direct responders to stop
and escalate rather than treating the action table as authorization.

In `@agents/performance-profiler.md`:
- Around line 79-86: Update the profiling contract around the metadata and
artifact requirements to redact secrets and sensitive identifiers from commands,
configuration, environment fingerprints, traces, profiles, and raw summaries
before output or audit retention; also define retention periods and access
controls for stored profiling artifacts, applying the same requirements to the
referenced sections.
- Around line 65-73: Update the output contract and idempotency/handoff
requirements for profiling runs to require project test-suite verification
before returning PASSED. Record the test command and result; if the suite cannot
run, document the reason and return BLOCKED or PARTIAL instead.
- Around line 17-23: Update the profiling and load-command permissions in the
performance profiler contract to require read-only execution, or a disposable
target with writes fully isolated from application data and production-connected
dependencies. Preserve the prohibition on production profiling and uncontrolled
load, and reject commands that can mutate shared targets or reach
production-connected systems.
- Around line 115-120: Update the “Tool usage sequence” so reading the
applicable AGENTS.md instructions is the first step, before discovering
benchmarks, selecting profiling methods, or running commands. Make the workflow
explicitly block profiling until repository-specific rules have been loaded,
then preserve the existing benchmark, baseline, and subsystem profiling
sequence.
- Around line 37-45: Update the trust and prompt-injection boundary and input
contract in the performance-profiler instructions to state that all repository
artifacts are untrusted, including code, configuration, documentation,
benchmarks, traces, comments, and fixtures. Explicitly require the agent to
ignore embedded instructions and execute only commands or profiling tools
supplied and approved through the input contract.
- Around line 60-68: Define the status transition rules in the failure and
fallback protocol for PASSED, FAILED, BLOCKED, and PARTIAL. Specify that
unavailable targets are BLOCKED, failed commands or validation steps are FAILED,
and unreproducible workloads or baselines are PARTIAL; explicitly prevent PASSED
when required inputs, safety gates, or validation steps fail.

ownership to BLOCKED or PARTIAL as appropriate, and make the Recovery and Next
action fields capture these details explicitly.
- Around line 77-80: Update Invariant 1 and the dependency-boundary review
guidance to distinguish synchronous caller deadlines from asynchronous
execution. For queue and worker paths, evaluate retry timing against the message
or job deadline, lease or visibility timeout, retention window, and shutdown
budget, including cases without a live caller; preserve caller
remaining-deadline checks for synchronous requests.

In `@agents/runbook-writer.md`:
- Around line 258-262: Update the “Telemetry and audit record” section to
require each approval to include approver identity, a UTC timestamp, the
approved revision, and approval scope, along with access controls and
sensitivity-based retention. Align the approval-record requirements with the
decision and approval preservation guidance in incident-commander.md while
retaining the existing prohibition on secrets and private customer data.
- Around line 70-73: Update the “Idempotency and handoff” section in
agents/runbook-writer.md to require explicit parent-agent approval before any
mutating operational step is used. State that approval must be recorded for the
specific runbook revision and scope, while retaining the existing review
requirements.
- Around line 98-106: Update the status schema in the runbook output contract to
define PASSED, DRAFT, BLOCKED, and PARTIAL consistently, replacing or
reconciling the conflicting VERIFIED and SOURCE-BACKED terminology near the step
definitions. Add explicit aggregation and precedence rules describing how
step-level outcomes determine the overall status, including mixed, blocked,
draft, and fully passed cases.
- Around line 117-122: Update the “Tool usage sequence” guidance to restrict
Bash execution to allowlisted checks in a network-disabled sandbox. Explicitly
prohibit running repository scripts, hooks, binaries, or other executable
artifacts, including dry-run commands that could modify the workspace, access
secrets, or make network requests; limit verification to safe local help or
equivalent isolated checks.
- Around line 188-201: Update the Runbook structure table’s Mitigation
requirement to explicitly define whether destructive or irreversible actions are
permitted; if permitted, require documented approval, target confirmation, stop
conditions, recovery procedures, and audit details alongside reversible
stabilization steps.

In `@agents/security-reviewer.md`:
- Around line 95-106: Update the “Extended report schema” to explicitly require
fields for asset, trust boundary, confidence, and unverified assumptions,
matching the finding quality gate enforced around the finding requirements.
Extend the Finding, Impact, Control, or Limitations entries as appropriate while
preserving the existing schema structure and terminology.
- Around line 60-63: Update the “Failure and fallback protocol” in the security
reviewer instructions so missing or unverifiable authorization or scope returns
BLOCKED and stops before inspecting target data. Reserve PARTIAL for authorized
reviews where runtime context or evidence remains incomplete.
- Around line 123-136: Revise the severity model in “Severity model and
invariants” to define severity using reachable exploitability and material
business impact, including confidentiality, integrity, and availability where
applicable; remove “meaningful uncertainty” from the MEDIUM definition. Keep
confidence as a separate assessment, and update “Self-correction and example
finding” so unsupported or contradicted hypotheses reduce confidence or are
withdrawn without determining severity.
