SILENT VIDEO: GUIDE is authored explanation. Terminal output is real. 00:00:00.000 Accept: product, design and reviewers can inspect the result. A person decides. 00:00:06.000 chough keeps the stage, decisions, results and next step for the coding agent. 00:00:17.000 This saved record still asks for a human review. The agent can resume from these project files. 00:00:29.000 Older checks may need repeating. This shows saved context; a new agent’s understanding was not measured. 00:00:40.000 Release is optional. A maintainer separately decides merge, publication or deployment. This sample performs none. TECHNICAL NOTES: Team roles describe how people could participate; no product, design or QA teammate participated in this sample. Conditional design and optional release are explained, not performed. Selected real checkpoint lines are labeled; full output follows. This sample spec remains draft. API/export and required-section validation are skipped for draft specs. The recorded structural check covers source-file presence and module dependency links only. No static TypeScript compiler check or human acceptance is claimed. Selected excerpts retain the complete original raw output below and in receipts. FULL COMMAND OUTPUT AND RECORDER EXITS $ chough next --environment local Objective: Illustrative task CLI: reopen completed tasks preserving identity, title and history; reproduce a controlled regression and repair Stage: test (active, iteration 1) Native change: implement-illustrative-task-cli-and-reproduce-history-loss-regression-with-exact-repair: verifying (read observed; approval_valid true, correction_valid true, terminal evidence unknown) Warning: Native verification runs none of the project's commands: SpecSync's change check runs only `specsync check --spec tasks`, so a passing `specsync change check` does not show that the project's tests ran. Record test evidence with `chough cases run` or `chough evidence add`. Native next action: run `specsync change check implement-illustrative-task-cli-and-reproduce-history-loss-regression-with-exact-repair` Approved deltas: unchanged: tasks Native check: last attempt passed at 2026-11-08T19:10:31Z on b856ca4 The native check has not passed for this tree: SpecSync says the tree moved after the last check, so a fresh session would resume from evidence that no longer matches; run `specsync change check implement-illustrative-task-cli-and-reproduce-history-loss-regression-with-exact-repair`. Next: Waiting for a human decision: Implementation review of implement-illustrative-task-cli-and-reproduce-history-loss-regression-with-exact-repair. Do not decide it for them; continue only independent work within scope. When they decide, record their words with `chough checkpoint --close-gate "" --decided-by "" --words "" --where "" --recorded-by ""`. `chough stage advance` and `chough stage skip` are refused until it is cleared. Why: Only a person can close these gates. Gate to accept: native:verifying Native state is verifying with a valid definition approval; approved deltas unchanged (tasks).

Decisions (5 of 6, newest first): Coordinator requested immediate bounded handoff; stop native troubleshooting because current fixture is useful and human/native lifecycle gate completion is not required for recording. Coordinator update: preserve committed history via Git bundle; coordinator owns bundle ZIP and VHS recording in an isolated clone after handoff. failed: abbreviated bug ID update was refused (because native bug IDs require their generated suffix; corrected the checkpoint reference and linked the real later pass using the complete ID) rejected: fabricated output or structural-only behavioral claims (because BRIEF.md requires real executions and limits) decided: preserve task id, title and event history on reopen (because SAMPLE-1 explicitly illustrates continuity) Last failure: OBS-tc-tasks-history-preservation-cc707f674f23837f43114d9c at 2026-11-08T19:08:32Z: Ran fledge run test for TC-tasks-history-preservation: failed (exit 1).
