/printing-press-retro
Result: A scrubbed retro document and, when the issue gate passes, GitHub issues for Printing Press defects only.
Next consumer: A maintainer or agent who will change the Printing Press (generator, scorer, skills, or binary) — not the printed CLI that just shipped.
Done: The manuscript proof exists and is scrubbed; every work unit is file-new, comment-on-existing, or local-only; no unredacted secret or PII remains; the user has the outcome list.
Intent: "Raised the floor" is analysis language, not a filing bar. File only when the Printing Press must change to stop a current, reproducible, generalizing P1 or P2 defect. Manual iteration on one CLI is expected work, not a finding. In user-facing output say "the Printing Press"; name the subsystem when pointing at a fix.
Boundaries
- Redact every real secret and PII before quoting. Issue bodies and retro docs are public. Use references/secret-scrubbing.md Layer 0. Never quote a leaked value as evidence of the leak.
- Don't change the machine by default. The burden of proof is on the finding.
- No P3. File only P1/P2. Anything else is Skip or Drop, not a low-priority issue. The issue gate files P1/P2 Do work units only.
- Never upload unscrubbed artifacts. Never modify manuscript or library source trees; scrub copies only.
Authority
Invocation authorizes reading manuscripts/library and writing the retro proof plus scratch copies. It does not authorize GitHub filing or public upload until the user confirms Submit. It does not authorize edits to the printed CLI or to Printing Press source.
Steps
Read references/run-resolution.md first. It
resolves $API_NAME, $RUN_ID, $RUN_DIR, $CLI_DIR, and $IN_REPO.
Never execute a phase from memory. When you enter a phase, Read its file from phases/ first.
Follow each file's final Next: pointer. Late procedure lives in the phase
file or a role-named reference it loads
(references/artifact-packaging.md,
references/issue-template.md,
references/secret-scrubbing.md). Do not
restate those files here.
