Unverified report excerpt · anthropic/claude: - **Inspected source:** only the supplied diff, which covers all 7 files: `evals/pstack/maintenance-closeout/{README.md,cases.json,run.rb}`, the two copies of `06-verify-and-ship.md` (`harness/pstack/claude-code/docs/guide/` and `pstack/docs/guide/`), and the two copies of `maintain-verification-skill/SKILL.md` (`harness/pstack/claude-code/skills/` and `pstack/skills/`).
- **Tests run:** none. I was told not to execute candidate code, and Git isn't available to me.
- **Missing context:** I couldn't read the checkout at `/private/tmp/cursor-plugins-shaka`. The restricted file tools are confined to the working directory, so every read was refused. As a result:
- I couldn't check the unchanged parts of `SKILL.md`, such as steps 1–4 and the frontmatter.
- I couldn't find out whether a repository check keeps the `harness/` and `pstack/` copies in sync.
- I couldn't confirm that the Claude CLI flags in the README (`--permission-prompts none`, `--restricted`, `--safe-mode`) exist in a pinned CLI version.
- I couldn't confirm the file modes or the packaging checks.
- I have no grading results or responses from this screen.

Unverified report excerpt · anthropic/claude: - **What I inspected:** only the supplied diff. That covers `evals/pstack/maintenance-closeout/{README.md,cases.json,run.rb}`, both copies of `maintain-verification-skill/SKILL.md` (`pstack/` and `harness/pstack/claude-code/`), and both copies of `docs/guide/06-verify-and-ship.md`.
- **Checkout not read:** I tried to read `/private/tmp/cursor-plugins-shaka`, but the restricted mode only lets my file tools open the working directory, so every read was rejected. I could not see the parts of `SKILL.md` outside the diff hunks (frontmatter and steps 1–4, including the cleanup step), the repository checks, or any check that keeps the two copies in sync.
- **Tests run:** none. I did not execute `run.rb` or any candidate code, as instructed.
- **Missing context:** the exact wording of the cleanup step, whether a repository check compares the `pstack/` and `harness/` copies, and any graded run results.

- **Tests run:** none. I had no way to run Git or the candidate code, and I did not execute `run.rb`.
- **Missing context:**
- I couldn't read the checkout at `/private/tmp/cursor-plugins-shaka`, because the restricted file tools only allow the working directory.

Unverified report excerpt · anthropic/claude: - **Inspected:** only the diff you supplied. That covers `evals/pstack/maintenance-closeout/{README.md,cases.json,run.rb}`, both copies of `06-verify-and-ship.md` (pstack and harness, which are identical), and both copies of `maintain-verification-skill/SKILL.md`.
- **Missing context:**
- I couldn't open the checkout at `/private/tmp/cursor-plugins-shaka`. Restricted mode limits file tools to a separate working directory, so I couldn't read the unchanged parts of either SKILL.md, the repo's packaging and sync checks, or the other skills that call this one.
- I couldn't run Git, so I couldn't view commit b7cba01 alone. I reviewed it through the full diff, where the only visible trace is the README's `claude` command line.
- I didn't check the CLI flags (`--permission-prompts none`, `--restricted`, `--safe-mode`, the trailing `-`) against any Claude Code CLI version.
- **Tests run:** none. I didn't execute anything, including `run.rb`.

Walkthrough for commit `b7cba01`
🤖 Codex · OpenAI · gpt-6-astra (configured) · medium
Publisher model is configured; served model is UNKNOWN.
Code Walkthrough
Maintenance returns corrections and evidence when its caller explicitly owns delivery, while standalone runs still open one PR.
Closeout ownership
The changed outcome and closeout preserve source review, live coverage, edit scope and cleanup. Delegated runs return evidence even when clean or blocked. Installation alone does not assign ownership. The guide uses Shaka as an example; no Shaka dependency is added. Claude copies are generated from these sources.
Behavioral screen
The runner sends six cases to a tool-disabled model from an empty temporary Git workspace. It retains failures and continues the screen. The protocol keeps criteria out of model prompts and calls for independent grading. Final grading: 5/6 cases, 11/12 criteria. Clean coverage and artifact paths were reported, but its wording said nothing remained to hand off for delivery; that failed grade remains disclosed.
Validation, limits and rollback
Plugin validation, docs navigation and generated-tree checks passed. Script tests: 29 pass, 38 TLC-dependent skips, no failures. Six-case failure-retention and isolation controls passed. Independent technical review found no new issues on the final head. Four optional nits remain documented. This screen does not execute maintenance, publication or artifact retention; no end-to-end interoperability claim is made. Reverting restores unconditional closeout; no persistent state changes.

Installation alone does not assign ownership. The guide uses Shaka as an example; no Shaka dependency is added. Claude copies are generated from these sources.
Behavioral screen
The runner captures six tool-disabled responses from an empty temporary Git workspace, retains failures, and withholds grading criteria. Earlier independent grading passed 5/6 cases and 11/12 criteria. After the clean-result clarification, the focused clean rerun explicitly returned its report and three evidence paths to Shaka; both criteria pass by author assessment. This is not a combined new six-case grade.
Validation, limits and rollback
Plugin, docs, generated-tree and whitespace checks passed. Earlier script tests: 29 pass, 38 TLC-dependent skips, no failures. Sixth independent technical review found no defects or risks; optional editorial nits remain documented. The screen measures stated closeout decisions, not actual publication restraint or artifact retention. The prior checkpoint covers b7cba01 and needs reassessment before merge readiness.

| 5. **Triage.** Wrong or missing user-POV description → doc drift, fix it. Working behavior the harness can't drive → harness gap, fix it; a harness fix follows the same helpers rule as generation (scripts executable, invocation documented in the skill body). App behavior that's actually broken → product gap; record it for the user, keep it out of this PR. | ||

| 6. **Ship or stop.** For changed: one PR of proven corrections, re-read every changed file first. For clean or blocked: no PR, report the outcome and the coverage honestly. | ||
| 6. **Ship or hand back.** Re-read every changed file first. If the user or calling workflow explicitly retains delivery ownership, return the outcome, changed files, coverage and gaps, exact commands and observed results, and retained evidence locations to that owner. Include the evidence paths even for clean or blocked outcomes. Leave commits, PR publication, and merging to it; a handoff does not mean the changes shipped. This changes only closeout, not the source wave, live pass, re-proofs, cleanup, or edit scope. Otherwise, for changed, open one PR of proven corrections and report its link; until then, the corrections are ready, not shipped. For clean or blocked, open no PR and report the outcome and coverage honestly. An installed workflow alone does not assign delivery ownership. |

Start here: explicit ownership changes only closeout. Without it, the existing one-PR path remains. The generated Claude copy carries the same rule.

Summary
Verification maintenance can return proven corrections and evidence to an explicitly named delivery owner. Standalone runs still open one PR; Shaka is a worked example.
Before and after merge
Intent
Why: Maintenance currently owns PR publication even when a caller already owns delivery.
Scope: Conditional closeout, a Shaka example, generated Claude copies, and a six-case response-only behavioral screen.
Leaves out: Shaka dependencies, automatic routing, host adapters, changes to verification or edit scope, and merge automation.
Safe because: The alternate closeout requires explicit delivery ownership; standalone publication and all preceding maintenance steps stay in place.
Review effort: 3 of 5, tempo: read the walkthrough and the diff. Floor 3: changes agent instructions (
harness/pstack/claude-code/skills/maintain-verification-skill/SKILL.md). Shaka's shipped floors applied because this repository's settings were not read.Verification

Review and behavioral screen history
Local review: one defect fixed (failed calls previously truncated the screen), four optional nits documented, final review has no new findings.
Earlier screens exposed missing evidence paths, premature shipped wording, contribution-history contamination, and plan-mode interference. These prompted instruction and runner repairs. Prior counts are excluded from efficacy claims. The final screen runs in an empty temporary Git workspace with tools disabled and default permission mode. It measures stated closeout decisions only; native user identity may still appear, so this is not a fully sealed benchmark. No baseline improvement claim is made.
Final independent grading (gpt-6.1-sol medium): 5/6 cases, 11/12 criteria. The clean report supplied all three paths and no publication action, but said nothing remained to hand off for delivery. The grader marked that ownership wording a failure; the author considers the report itself usable evidence but retains the failed grade. Incidental unsupported assertions appeared, including an author identity from runtime context. This is bounded, operator-local development evidence, not full isolation or production proof.
Related work and rollback
PR #334 also touches maintenance but focuses on coverage reporting and linting; this PR changes delivery ownership only. Reverting restores unconditional standalone closeout. No application code or persistent state changes.
Publication limits
Description was shortened after exceeding the default 300-word visible-prose limit. Settings-bound handoff requires a trusted seam, absent here. Native GitHub state is reported directly.
Clean-result repair and sixth review
e6b64f4 explicitly distinguishes returning a clean report from publishing corrections. The focused Claude Sonnet 5 medium response returned the clean report and proof/list.log, proof/search.log, proof/export.log to Shaka, with no publication needed. Independent Claude Opus 5.5 review of the complete PR diff found no defects or risks and one optional wording nit, retained in review history. All six authorized review executions are consumed. Docs, plugin, generated-copy and whitespace checks passed. The prior checkpoint remains historical; its clean-handoff concern motivated this repair.
WIP Details
Note
Medium Risk
Changes agent closeout instructions for maintenance runs (commits/PR vs handoff), which affects delivery workflow but leaves verification steps and edit scope unchanged.
Overview
/maintain-verification-skillcloseout can hand results back to an explicit delivery owner instead of always opening a PR. Step 6 is renamed to Ship or hand back: when the user or caller (e.g. Shaka) retains delivery ownership, the agent returns outcome, coverage, commands, results, and evidence paths and does not commit or publish; standalone runs still open one PR forchanged.changedwording now says corrections are ready for delivery rather than implying they already shipped. Clean owner-retained runs must still hand back the report and evidence, with “no publication needed” rather than “no handoff.”The verify-and-ship guide documents the Shaka delegation prompt and clarifies that installing Shaka alone does not change standalone behavior.
A new
evals/pstack/maintenance-closeoutscreen adds six JSON cases (delegated, standalone, installed-only, clean, blocked, product-regression), a Ruby runner that prompts a model in an empty temp Git repo with tools disabled, and a README for running and blind grading—measuring stated closeout only, not real publication.Reviewed by Cursor Bugbot for commit e6b64f4.
