SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Maintains independent judgment across the beta development cycle by enforcing a coherent review, merge, and beta close-out process with auditable artifacts and clear ownership.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Beta intake and surface validation: loads canonical surfaces (CDD.md, beta/SKILL.md, review/SKILL.md, release/SKILL.md) and checks readiness signals for the cycle.
  • Round-based review governance: executes structured review rounds, ensures identity truth, canonical freshness, and non-destructive merge validation before landing changes.
  • Beta close-out and release coordination: produces beta-closeout artifacts and transfers control to gamma and delta according to the CDS lifecycle.
  • Role governance: enforces beta's independence and failure modes, preventing direct implementation or environment-level branch ownership during a cycle.

Quick Start

Load origin/cycle/{N} surfaces and initiate the first beta review based on the cycle's diff.

FAQPage Schema
What is beta cycle governance and how does it preserve independent review?

Beta cycle governance preserves independent judgment by enforcing structured review rounds, identity truth checks, and non-destructive merge validation before changes land. It prevents direct implementation or branch ownership during the cycle to maintain reviewer autonomy.

How do I perform a pre-merge validation for beta review?

Pre-merge validation requires loading canonical surfaces like CDD.md and beta/SKILL.md to check readiness signals. You execute structured review rounds to verify identity truth, canonical freshness, and non-destructive merge testing before approving changes.

When do I need to produce beta close-out artifacts in a development cycle?

You produce beta close-out artifacts after completing round-based review governance and pre-merge validation. These artifacts finalize the beta phase and transfer control to gamma and delta roles according to the CDS lifecycle.

Does beta review work with CDD development cycles and gamma roles?

Yes, beta review specifically applies to CDD development cycles where beta reviewers assess changes. It engages directly with gamma and delta roles, satisfying governance checks for gamma artifact completeness and implementation-contract coherence.

Can I use beta governance to enforce environment-level branch ownership?

No, beta role governance explicitly prevents environment-level branch ownership during a cycle. It enforces beta's independence and failure modes to ensure reviewers cannot directly implement changes, maintaining strict separation of duties.

What canonical surfaces are required to initiate beta intake and surface validation?

Beta intake loads canonical surfaces including CDD.md, beta/SKILL.md, review/SKILL.md, and release/SKILL.md. These surfaces provide readiness signals required to initiate the first beta review based on the cycle's diff.
