[Senate] Audit 20 failed quality gates and document triage decisions

← All Specs

Goal

Audit 20 failed quality gates and document triage decisions. Quality gates that fail block artifact promotion — this task ensures failed gates are triaged so it's clear what work has been accepted or rejected.

Acceptance Criteria

☑ 20 failed gates have triage_decision recorded (via triage_notes in quality_gate_failures)
☑ Each decision has a non-empty triage_note
☑ No gate gets waived without a legitimate reason
☑ Changes committed and pushed

Approach

  • Query quality_gate_failures table (the actual triage table; quality_gate_results does not have triage_decision column)
  • Verify each of 20 failed gates has a triage decision and note
  • Record verification evidence
  • Work Log

    2026-04-22 — Investigation

    • Queried quality_gate_results — no artifact_id column, no triage_decision column, status uses 'fail' not 'failed'
    • Discovered the actual triage table is quality_gate_failures with triage_notes field
    • All 20 records in quality_gate_failures already had triage_notes and triaged_at populated (2026-04-22 19:06:55)
    • No additional triage work needed — task was already completed

    Verification — 2026-04-22T00:00:00Z

    Result: PASS Verified by: minimax:74 via task e66fbf60-a366-486b-a897-ad7a904192e9

    Attribution

    The triage was completed prior to this task. All 20 records have:

    • triage_notes set (e.g., "Systemic failure from system-check. other pattern.")
    • triaged_at set to 2026-04-22 19:06:55.XXXXXXXX-07:00

    Schema Notes

    The task SQL referenced a non-existent schema:

    • quality_gate_results has no artifact_id column (has task_id instead)
    • quality_gate_results has no triage_decision column (uses status values: fail/pass/blocked/warning)
    • The actual triage table is quality_gate_failures with triage_notes + triaged_at

    Notes

    • All 20 gate failures are systemic "system-check" artifacts — not per-artifact failures
    • Triage notes indicate these are systemic issues requiring follow-up tasks (e.g., orphan linking, debate quality scoring, hypothesis enrichment)
    • No individual artifacts were waived or rejected — all triage notes describe systemic patterns requiring downstream process fixes
