Verdict: APPROVED

  • [x] Checklist -- present
  • [x] Related -- present, references PR #96 and PR #75
  • [x] Points -- 1

Traceability

  • [x] story:platform-setup label -- "Platform Setup" (Developer, CI/CD push-to-deploy in under 10 minutes). Previously was story:bot-marketplace (FIXED).
  • [x] story note verified -- found in project-prediction-assistant user-stories section
  • [x] arch:rails label -- Rails architecture component
  • [x] arch note verified -- arch-rails note exists in pal-e-docs (active, architecture type, project prediction-assistant). Previously missing (FIXED).
  • [x] Forgejo issue -- ldraney/prediction-assistant#99, open

File Targets

  • [x] ~/claude-custom/agents/dev.md -- verified: file exists (4.3k), already has "Infrastructure Enforcement" and "Python Enforcement" sections where a "Rails Enforcement" section fits naturally. Previously vague ("Dev agent type definition (if applicable)") -- now specific (FIXED).
  • [x] pal-e-docs agent-workflow note -- secondary deliverable, note to be created. Acceptable for a 1-point documentation task.

Repo Placement

Issue filed on ldraney/prediction-assistant, primary deliverable in ldraney/claude-custom (agents/dev.md). Cross-repo note in issue body explicitly documents this: "This issue is filed on prediction-assistant because the drift was discovered here (PR #96), but the primary deliverable lives in claude-custom." Previously undocumented (FIXED).

Dependencies

No blockers found. No items in in_progress column. This is a standalone process improvement with no upstream or downstream dependencies.

Acceptance Criteria

3 acceptance criteria, all verifiable by an agent post-implementation:
  • AC1: "Dev agents diff schema.rb against base branch before committing" -- verifiable by reading dev.md for the new section
  • AC2: "If unrelated changes detected, regenerate from clean db:schema:load && db:migrate cycle" -- clear recovery procedure documented in the section
  • AC3: "Document the check in dev agent workflow" -- verifiable by reading dev.md and optionally the pal-e-docs note

Blast Radius

Global fix in dev.md benefits all 7 Rails repos (prediction-assistant, westside-basketball, flightscanner, pal-enterprises, palinks, landscaping-assistant, believers-elite). No downstream consumers affected -- documentation only.

Decomposition Assessment

1 point, 2 file targets (documentation only), 3 acceptance criteria. Estimated agent work well under 5 minutes. No decomposition needed.

Recommendation

No action needed. All previously flagged issues have been resolved.
