agile-v-pipeline

Orchestration pipeline for Agile V. Requires agile-v-core loaded first.

Pipeline

Stage 1: draft_persisted -> Stage 2: independent_findings -> Stage 1: architect_revisions -> gate_1 -> approved -> baselined -> Stage 3: Synthesis (Build Agent || Test Designer) -> Stage 4: Verification -> [Human Gate 2] -> Stage 5: Acceptance
Compliance Auditor observes all stages.

Handoffs

1. Req Architect persists draft .agile-v/REQUIREMENTS.md -> Logic Gatekeeper reads without editing.
2. Gatekeeper records independent findings -> Req Architect revises -> Gate 1 (findings + revision evidence, Human approves).
3. Approval creates a baseline; Build Agent || Test Designer use only that baselined revision, with no shared context.
4. Build Manifest + Test Cases -> Red Team Verifier.
5. Verification Summary -> Gate 2; intended-use validation evidence, when required, remains separate.

Gate 2 prereqs (Phase 1): .agile-v/EVAL_RESULTS.md + .agile-v/VERIFICATION_SUMMARY.md EvalGate line. Gate pause (Phase 2): append .agile-v/CHECKPOINTS.md (PENDING + resume_token); resume only with matching .agile-v/APPROVALS.md entry (see agile-v-core).

Stage Failure Handling

If a stage fails (e.g., Logic Gatekeeper rejects requirements, Red Team finds CRITICAL issues), the pipeline stops at that stage. Do not proceed to the next stage.

Failure	Action
Gate 1 rejected	Return to architect revisions; preserve rejected revision and findings
Build Agent HALT	Human resolves blocker; Build Agent resumes; do not skip to Stage 4
Red Team FAIL	Return to Stage 3; Builder addresses findings; re-verify affected only
Gate 2 blocked	Do not proceed to Stage 5; resolve EVAL gate or get WAIVED approval

Never advance to Stage 5 with open CRITICAL or MAJOR findings.

Wave Execution

Dependency analysis -> Wave assignment (no-deps = Wave 1) -> Parallel within waves (fresh context each) -> Sequential across waves -> Prefer vertical slices (feature > layer).

Checkpoint Types

Type	Action
Auto	Proceed
Human-Verify	Confirm output
Human-Decision	Choose alternative
Human-Action	Physical/external step

All except Auto require Human Gate protocol.
