Ratings

Evidence: 7 of 7 ratings cite primary sources; 2 are unverified (?).

• Lifecycle traceability

  L1 met: GitHub issue starts the task and receives the PR link; L2 maintained design/code relationship or version context is missing.

• Versioned system design

  L1 met: the pre-code task plan is retained as a timestamped session activity; L2 integrated target or controlled system baseline is missing.

• Tracked drift resolution ?

  CI/code review evidence is not documented as a code/documentation mismatch or freshness finding; no restriction supports 0.

• Change impact and alternatives

  L1 met: a task-specific plan records steps and assumptions and can be revised; L2 scoped impact and constrained alternatives are not both documented.

• Requirement test results ?

  Tests execute but no requirement-to-test mapping is documented; no restriction supports 0.

• Delivery audit trail

  Session activities, code changes and PRs concern a specific change; a governed build record is incomplete.

• Process portability

  The task workflow executes in Google-hosted VMs; API and CLI are clients rather than alternate runtimes.
