Phase 16: Plan Verification Loop Verification Report

Phase Goal: Add plan verification between planning and execution — planner -> checker -> revise loop Verified: 2026-01-16 Status: passed Re-verification: No — initial verification

Goal Achievement

Observable Truths

# Truth Status Evidence
1 Plan checker can load PLAN.md files and parse frontmatter VERIFIED gsd-plan-checker.md lines 250-302: Step 2-3 document loading PLAN.md files and parsing frontmatter
2 Plan checker can verify plans against phase goal from ROADMAP.md VERIFIED gsd-plan-checker.md lines 253-261: Extracts phase goal from ROADMAP.md
3 Plan checker returns structured issues or passed status VERIFIED gsd-plan-checker.md lines 630-706: ## VERIFICATION PASSED and ## ISSUES FOUND structured returns
4 Checker output is consumable by orchestrator and planner VERIFIED gsd-plan-checker.md lines 569-627: YAML issue structure with plan, dimension, severity, fix_hint
5 Orchestrator spawns gsd-planner then gsd-plan-checker VERIFIED plan-phase.md steps 6 and 8: Task() spawns for gsd-planner then gsd-plan-checker
6 User sees status between agent spawns VERIFIED plan-phase.md lines 94, 174, 225, 263: Display statements between each spawn
7 If issues found, planner is re-spawned with feedback VERIFIED plan-phase.md lines 219-259: Step 10 spawns planner with revision_context containing issues
8 Loop terminates after max 3 iterations or passed VERIFIED plan-phase.md lines 221, 223, 261-271: iteration_count tracking, max 3 check, user options
9 Planner can accept checker feedback in revision mode VERIFIED gsd-planner.md line 842-945: <revision_mode> section accepts <revision_context> with issues
10 Planner reads existing PLAN.md files when revising VERIFIED gsd-planner.md lines 850-861: Step 1 loads existing PLAN.md files
11 Planner makes targeted updates, not full replan VERIFIED gsd-planner.md lines 894-906: DO/DO NOT guidance - "Surgeon, not architect" mindset
12 Planner returns what changed for user visibility VERIFIED gsd-planner.md lines 917-943: Step 6 returns ## REVISION COMPLETE with changes table

Score: 12/12 truths verified

Checker verifies plans against phase goal SATISFIED 6 verification dimensions
Planner can revise based on feedback SATISFIED <revision_mode> section
Loop terminates (max 3 iterations or passed) SATISFIED iteration_count tracking
Plans verified before execution available SATISFIED Complete flow verified

Anti-Patterns Found

File Line Pattern Severity Impact
- - - - No anti-patterns found

No TODO, FIXME, placeholder, or stub patterns detected in any of the three artifacts.

Human Verification Required

None required. All phase deliverables are documentable artifacts (markdown files) that can be fully verified programmatically.

Gaps Summary

No gaps found. All 12 must-have truths verified. All 3 artifacts exist, are substantive (exceed minimum line counts), and are properly wired together. The verification loop is complete:

  1. plan-phase.md spawns gsd-planner
  2. Planner creates PLAN.md files
  3. plan-phase.md spawns gsd-plan-checker
  4. Checker verifies plans, returns passed or issues
  5. If issues, plan-phase.md spawns planner with revision_context
  6. Planner makes targeted updates (revision_mode)
  7. Loop repeats up to 3 iterations or until passed
  8. User sees status throughout
