Verdict: READY

Template Completeness

  • [x] Type -- Task
  • [x] Scope -- well-described, replaces File Targets per Task convention
  • [x] Lineage -- "Validation audit -- session 2026-03-28 pipeline gap"
  • [x] User Story -- "As a platform operator, I want to verify that merged code is deployed and working, so that done means done."
  • [ ] Context -- embedded in Scope rather than a separate section (acceptable for Task)
  • [x] Acceptance Criteria -- 6 criteria listed
  • [x] Test Expectations -- "Session restart, hooks load cleanly, test suites pass"
  • [x] Constraints -- "No CI pipeline exists for this repo"
  • [ ] Checklist -- missing, but not meaningful for a validation task (no PR to open)
  • [x] Related -- present, references project-pal-e-platform

Traceability

  • [x] story:pm-scope label -- present on board item #511
  • [x] arch:hooks label -- present on board item #511
  • [x] Forgejo issue -- forgejo_admin/claude-custom#208, open
  • [ ] Forgejo issue labels -- issue has no labels (board item has them, Forgejo does not)

File Targets

N/A -- Task type. No file targets expected. Validation is session-based, not code-change-based.

Repo Placement

OK. Issue filed on forgejo_admin/claude-custom. All 9 PRs are in the same repo. No cross-repo work.
Minor note: Related section says project-pal-e-platform but the board item lives on board-pal-e-agency and the repo is claude-custom. Should likely reference pal-e-agency instead.

Dependencies

No blocking dependencies found. Two sibling validation items exist on the same board (board items #516 and #517 for linkedin-scheduler-remote and gcal-mcp-remote) but they are independent. No items in in_progress or next_up block this work.

Acceptance Criteria

6 criteria. Assessment:
  • AC 1 (hooks load without errors) -- verifiable: restart session, check stderr
  • AC 2 (test suites pass) -- verifiable: run test scripts in tests/ directory
  • AC 3 (no regressions in agent behavior) -- subjective, hard to verify mechanically. Could be tightened to specific hook behaviors.
  • AC 4 (pipeline verified N/A) -- explicitly N/A, fine
  • AC 5 (deployment confirmed = session restart) -- verifiable
  • AC 6 (features validated) -- overlaps with AC 1+2, redundant but not harmful

Blast Radius

All 9 PRs are confined to claude-custom. Files touched:
  • Hooks: cleanup-worktrees.sh, pre-spawn-freshness.sh, forgejo-helper.sh, post-mcp-merge-rebase.sh, post-merge-rebase.sh, check-note-template.sh, board-item-on-merge.sh, remind-update-docs.sh, check-branch-freshness.sh
  • Settings: settings.json (2 PRs)
  • Agent profiles: betty-sue.md, penny.md
  • Tests: test_check_note_template.sh, test_parse_merged_status.sh
  • Docs: commands/update-docs.md, spikes/133-penny-mcp-inventory.md
No downstream consumers outside claude-custom. Hooks are hardlinked to ~/.claude/hooks/ so a session restart is the deployment mechanism.

Decomposition

Single repo, single-pass validation. No code changes to write. Estimated agent time: 2-3 minutes (restart + run tests + report). No decomposition needed.

Recommendation

No action needed. Ticket is ready for execution.
Optional nits (non-blocking):
  • [BODY] Fix Related: project-pal-e-platform should be project-pal-e-agency (repo is claude-custom, board is board-pal-e-agency)
  • [BODY] AC 3 could be tightened: "No regressions" is subjective -- could specify "hooks produce expected output for known inputs"
