Refs #1817.

Finding

Live proposal review found three unrelated decisions simultaneously claiming ADR-0027. Protected main@493326f2de49ea1704da0ded19868ed05d2fe00f itself has a unique sequence through ADR-0026, so a protected-tree-only "next number" rule cannot prevent concurrent Draft/Proposed collisions.

Repair

Current exact head 50be41e202269931e091c7e8e0c036998ef64a6e makes the allocation invariant repository-visible without taking ownership of any scientific/domain decision:

  • docs/adr/README.md requires allocation against both protected ADRs and every still-valid active PR reservation;
  • the earliest-created still-valid unprotected proposal keeps a collided number and later proposals take the next free identities in PR creation order;
  • renumbering is ordinary-forward and preserves decision content, tests, citations, review history, and maturity;
  • valid proposals are not closed or silently recycled merely because their number collided;
  • tests/test_adr_number_allocation_contract.py rejects duplicate four-digit material ADR identifiers, reserves 0000 exclusively for the non-live 0000-template.md, and pins the live-reservation governance text including later-collider ordering and protected+live free-number search.

Current coordinated reservations under #1817 are #1436→0027, #1716→0028, #1816→0029, #1603→0030, and #1694→0031. #1603 and #1694 have already been repaired ordinary-forward on their own branches; this PR does not copy their domain content.

Review-driven repairs

CodeRabbit found three useful gaps across predecessor exact-head reviews, all repaired ordinary-forward without changing the allocation policy:

  1. predecessor 5c8f1ee...: the focused test did not fail if later-collider, next-free, PR-creation-order, or protected+live-reservation rules disappeared. 5ad6445a92a03ba3315a23e2b3ed184537c9bfbb adds those assertions; the inline thread is resolved.
  2. the process policy lacked research/standards grounding. 674af72b76759437dff308c964caa0cddf576282 adds ISO/IEC/IEEE 42010:2022 and Nygard (2011) references while explicitly keeping GitHub reservation/collision ordering repository-local rather than falsely claiming a standards mandate.
  3. exact 674af72...: the duplicate-number test skipped every 0000-*.md, although only 0000-template.md is the non-live template. 50be41e202269931e091c7e8e0c036998ef64a6e now excludes only that exact template and fails if any other material numbered ADR claims 0000.

A fresh CodeRabbit request on the current head was rate-limited; no approval or finding is inferred from that attempt. No predecessor review/check is promoted across head movement.

Exact current authority

  • protected base: main@493326f2de49ea1704da0ded19868ed05d2fe00f;
  • exact head: 50be41e202269931e091c7e8e0c036998ef64a6e;
  • state: open, mergeable, Draft containment after exact-head admission;
  • effective delta remains documentation plus one focused governance contract test; no psychometric arithmetic, public API, TEPP behavior, contextual-orchestrator routing, workflow gate, or release artifact change;
  • repository Security 34626431818, CodeQL 34626431889, Semgrep 34626431761, and ordinary CI 34626431912 are terminal GREEN;
  • cwl-noema-review submitted a formal current-head APPROVED review on 50be41e... with no blocking finding;
  • Required CodeQL PR 34626431864 remains terminal RED in the central producer-after-consumer lifecycle: python receiver 103352603520 and actions receiver 103352603606 enforce failure before dispatch producer 103353510493 starts and succeeds. Exact evidence remains owned by ContextualWisdomLab/.github#2051 and its prerequisite/successor chain.

Landing gate

The leaf governance delta has completed its current-head repository verification and independent approval, but normal merge is still forbidden while Required CodeQL is RED. Draft containment prevents repeated admission churn while the causal central control-plane prerequisite remains unresolved. Return to Ready only for a fresh unchanged-head admission after that owner path materially changes.

No force push, destructive rebase, self-approval, bypass, source-neutral retrigger, predecessor-evidence transfer, synthetic status, or gate weakening.

@seonghobae I reviewed exact head 674af72b76759437dff308c964caa0cddf576282.

I found one contract gap.

  • Line 19 in tests/test_adr_number_allocation_contract.py excludes every 0000-*.md file. The ADR README excludes only 0000-template.md from material ADR handling. Therefore, two material files such as 0000-first.md and 0000-second.md would bypass the duplicate-identity check. Exclude only 0000-template.md, or add an explicit material-ADR classification rule that rejects other 0000-* files.

The standards provenance correctly identifies the PR-creation-order rule as repository-local. The PR scope matches the stated documentation and contract-test objective.

Current exact head 50be41e202269931e091c7e8e0c036998ef64a6e repairs the valid 0000-* classification gap from the prior exact-head review. The contract now excludes only 0000-template.md and fails if any other numbered material ADR claims 0000; the prior collision-order assertions and standards/local-policy scope remain unchanged. Please review this exact head.

@seonghobae I reviewed exact head 50be41e202269931e091c7e8e0c036998ef64a6e.

I found no new issues.

The contract excludes only 0000-template.md. It rejects every other four-digit 0000-* ADR filename. The duplicate-number check remains effective for other material ADR files.

The ADR governance text still defines active PR reservations and PR-creation-order collision handling. It also correctly identifies this collision rule as repository-local policy.

Noema LLM review

The PR adds a documentation section defining monotonic ADR number allocation, collision resolution, and renumbering rules, plus a contract test that scans docs/adr for duplicate four-digit identities and asserts the documented reservation phrases. The prior review concern—missing assertions for later-collider ordering, PR-order next-free allocation, and inclusion of protected ADRs plus live reservations in the free-number search—is addressed by the added assertions. No correctness, security, or behavioral regression risks were identified.

Reviewed changed lines

  • docs/adr/README.md:23 (RIGHT): Defines collision handling: preserve earliest-created reservation and assign later colliders next free numbers in PR creation order; matches the test phrase assertion at tests line 40.
  • docs/adr/README.md:24 (RIGHT): Defines the free-number search to include protected ADRs and all live reservations; matches the test phrase assertion at tests line 40.
  • docs/adr/README.md:34 (RIGHT): States the protected tree must contain at most one material ADR per four-digit number, which the new contract test enforces.
  • tests/test_adr_number_allocation_contract.py:28 (RIGHT): Duplicate detection groups numbered ADR files by 4-digit prefix and asserts each group has at most one entry, excluding the 0000 template.
  • tests/test_adr_number_allocation_contract.py:40 (RIGHT): Asserts the exact documented phrases for later-collider reservation ordering and free-number search coverage, satisfying the prior review request.

Adversarial validation

  • tests/test_adr_number_allocation_contract.py:28 (RIGHT) falsified: A regression removing the unique-number enforcement for protected ADRs could pass because the test only checks documentation phrases. — The test globs ADR_DIR, excludes only 0000-template.md, groups by NUMBERED_ADR_RE match, and asserts duplicates == {}; a second 0001-*.md would make len(paths)>1 and fail the assertion at line 28 (current tree has no such duplicate).
  • tests/test_adr_number_allocation_contract.py:40 (RIGHT) falsified: The prior gap—removing collision-resolution rules for later colliders, PR-order next-free allocation, and protected/live reservation search—would still pass the contract test. — The tuple at line 40 includes 'later colliders the next free numbers in PR creation order' and 'The free-number search includes protected ADRs and all live reservations'; docs/adr/README.md lines 23 and 24 contain those exact substrings, and removing them would make the assertion fail.
  • Residual risk: The contract test relies on substring matching in docs, so a future rephrasing that preserves meaning but changes wording would fail CI and require updating the test; this is acceptable for a governance contract. The test does not verify active PR reservation coordination outside the repository, which is explicitly documented as a live governance responsibility.
