Components refactor (ADR-0103): work done vs work remaining to merge — 2026-10-17

For: Mohamed's review. Nothing continues until he has reviewed it. Measured: 2026-10-17, between 16:20 and 16:50, on wt-COMPONENTS @ 5da55475b (branch components). Section 9 lists the command behind every number. Where something was not measured, the report says "not measured" or "unknown".

0. Bottom line

• Six of the eight code components are landed and committed: contracts, governance, knowledge_graph, kernel, session and gateway.
  • Every module of each one imports in a fresh GIL-off interpreter: 398, 254, 161, 411, 59 and 73 modules.
• The seventh, volks, is landed on disk but not committed.
  • 271 of its 283 modules import.
  • The commit is blocked by the secrets gate on one line, an environment-variable name.
  • 4 volks modules are stopped because they still import frozen code.
• Integration, the eighth and last component, has not started: 0 source files.
  • Every injection seam built so far is wired there, so nothing is wired end to end yet.
• No test has been run on the landed code of any component.
  • The generated parity tests last ran on 2026-10-17 at about 02:00, against governance and kg only. 192 of 242 and 108 of 143 failed.
  • The fixture lookup was fixed after that run (AD-82, AD-114, AD-115), and the tests have not been run since.
• Merging to master needs the cut-over, which has no plan yet for the old code:
  • the old monolith must be removed from components: 913 source modules, 1,985 test modules and 181 scripts;
  • nothing designs what happens to the 1,985 old test modules (section 7, D3).
• components has never been pushed. Its 327 commits exist only on this machine.

1. What "merged" means (the target this report measures against)

From the components design §1, ruled by Mohamed on 2026-10-14 ("long-lived components branch"):

Cut-over: when the integration component passes the fleet tier on components with every old package removed, components merges to master and /opt/orchestrata is shipped from it.

Per component, the definition of done comes from the execution plan §7 (plans/adr-0103-lift-oracle-execution-plan.md):

• the oracle regenerates byte-faithful from frozen with 0 hard flags;
• the clean target passes parity_gate against the oracle;
• deep-compare accounts for every public member;
• the boundary is clean: 0 frozen imports and no edge outside the §2 DAG;
• the gate (ruff, black, mypy) is green;
• the component is merged in DAG order.

ADR-0103 is still Accepted (probationary). POC criterion 5 (conformance to target.mmd) is blocked on codetools V1 (AD-64), and no later entry lifts the probation.

master = origin/master = e57782ea4 (2026-10-13), the same commit as frozen. master has not moved, so the merge has no drift to absorb today.

2. Where each component stands

Volks's 12 import failures are all cascades:

• codedirector.volk is stopped and causes 10;
• architect.volk is stopped and causes 2.

Both modules contain a bare import orchestrata_ultimate that nobody has read yet.

3. Work done

Timeline (wt-COMPONENTS, 327 commits since e57782ea4: 1 on 10-14, 40 on 10-15, 105 on 10-16, 181 on 10-17):

Measured pace (one wave from intake to landing):

• gateway: about 2 h 45 min (AD-109 12:28 → landed 15:13);
• volks: about 8 h 35 min (AD-94 07:36 → applied 16:07), and still not committed.

Executor spend (dispatch.py status, all runs since the dispatcher existed):

Of the 122 runs: 101 DONE, 13 FAILED, 8 LOST. Orchestrator (Claude) tokens are not counted here.

Deterministic tooling built (lift-poc):

• fill_pkg.py (the oracle), component_wave.py, land_component.py, parity_gate.py, parity_retarget.py;
• the checks: runtime_undefined.py, import_binds.py, dag_imports.py, tc_unbound.py, import_each.py (uncommitted).

Every landing is reproducible from frozen plus data (regions.json, f2-placement.json, land-pins.json), except the three hand seams listed in §5 F6.

4. Remaining, in merge order

4a. In flight right now (uncommitted or blocked)

1. AD-119 (secrets gate):
   • the brief is committed (5da55475b) and has not been dispatched;
   • you may re-rule it, because I wrongly told you no per-line waiver exists (D1).
2. Volks landing commit:
   • 282 files plus 5 lift-poc files, including VK-143's verified spec_completeness.py and import_each.py;
   • blocked by item 1.
3. Decisions-log entries owed:
   • AD-119 and your ruling;
   • the correction about the # gate-ok: waiver;
   • VK-143's verification;
   • your coordinator ruling of today;
   • the volks landing commit.

4b. Per component, to reach the execution plan §7 definition of done

Two items apply to every component and have not been measured:

• the ruff, black and mypy gate;
• deep-compare of clean against frozen.

4c. Integration (the DAG sink; AD-72 says it runs last)

• L1: realize intake of 15 modules plus 7 arrivals:
  • the 5 composition-root CLIs;
  • mint_gateway_token;
  • run_conversation_consumer. The kg server and ha_controller_cli move here too (R6/R7). After intake: the oracle and the census.
• L2: T4 codemod and header drop, parity-gated.
• L3, the wiring. Every seam below is built and unwired today:
  • kernel:
    • the volk roster (D-N10);
    • IntentNormalizer(call_llm=) and IntentBroker(refactor_fn=) (AD-102);
    • the session-controller factory (AD-43);
    • the verification gate (D-N18);
    • PipelineKernelClient's gate seam (owed, AD-103);
    • AGENT_CLASS_MAP;
  • governance: graph facts by injection (AD-74); LLM and refactor calls (AD-81); the D-G7 call_llm seam;
  • gateway: RPCHandler forwards llm_profiles, and an adapter over volks' llm.config implements LlmProfilePort (R1). Until then tui.agents, tui.models and tui.model_switch answer -32603;
  • volks:
    • the R3 tool registrars and the approval gate;
    • parse_requirements from openspec (VK-143);
    • the AST callables for codedirector.
• Acceptance:
  • the composed boot runs against the real clean targets;
  • the fleet-tier suite passes on the test fleet with the kernel started and gRPC-verified (Hard Rule 7).

4d. Codetools (separate repo, consumed by release id)

• the releases that provide what volks needs injected: the tool registrars, openspec's parse_requirements and the AST callables;
• AD-86: the pass-1 test-template revision (Mohamed accepted it at 14:18), not yet briefed;
• V1: first-party recognition in diff_design_vs_code, which ADR-0103 POC-5 and lifting the probation depend on.

The state of the codetools repo was not measured for this report.

4e. Verification never run on the landed code

4f. Cut-over and merge

1. Remove the old monolith from components: src/orchestrata_ultimate (913 modules), tests/ (1,985 test modules) and the 181 top-level scripts/*.py, which move to codetools or integration (design §2.8, §2.10). Each removal waits until integration uses the package.
2. Decide the fate of the old test suite (D3).
3. Merge components → master (one merge, per the 2026-10-14 ruling). Then dev → test → promote → deploy to /opt/orchestrata, with verify.
4. Run worktrees.py gc for components.

5. Open findings (measured, not dispositioned)

6. Risks

• Unpushed branch. 327 commits on components are on one disk, with no remote copy.
• Uncommitted volks landing. 282 files exist only in the working tree.
• Probationary method. ADR-0103's fifth criterion is unproven, and the ADR says the method reverts to AD-7 if the POC fails.
• No test evidence. Every "landed" claim above rests on deterministic gates (parity gate, import, boundary). None rests on a test run.

7. Decisions for you (each with my recommendation)

• D1 — AD-119.
  • Options: keep your gate rule (skip an UPPER_SNAKE env-var name assigned to an ENV-named constant), or use one # gate-ok: <reason> waiver on the volks line.
  • Recommend: keep the rule. AD-85 records "the per-line waiver is not used", and waivers accumulate at each new site.
• D2 — Scope of your coordinator ruling.
  • Do mechanical script runs (component_wave.py, land_component.py --apply, parity_retarget.py) also go to a worker in tmux?
  • Recommend: yes, a worker runs them from a brief, and I verify. That is the reading closest to your ruling.
• D3 — The old test suite at cut-over (1,985 modules that import orchestrata_ultimate).
  • The design is silent.
  • Recommend: a qwen design run that maps each old test module to the component it exercises, then a ruling per group: port, retire, or run against the composed release.
• D4 — Is the contract kit (wave 2, TESTED) a merge requirement, or post-merge work?
  • The components design §7.5 lists it in "done"; the execution plan §7 does not.
  • Recommend: required for merge, because without it no component has behavioural evidence beyond parity.
• D5 — Is ADR-0103 POC-5 (codetools V1 conformance) a merge blocker?
  • Recommend: yes, or lift the probation explicitly on 4 of 5, as AD-64 proposed.
• D6 — Push components to origin/components now, as a backup. It is not a merge.
  • Recommend: yes.
• D7 — R4 (dead-protocol prune): before merge or after?
  • Recommend: after merge, as you deferred it.

8. Process correction (your ruling, 2026-10-17)

Your words: "I notice you are not following our process with tmux. deepseek, qwen and sonnet to do the work while you coordinate, that must stop and you must go back to the role of coordinator."

What I had been doing myself:

• writing check and probe scripts (import_each.py, tc_unbound.py, scratch probes);
• running waves and landings by hand;
• editing placement and region data;
• diagnosing by reading code.

From now on:

• every change goes brief → dispatch.py run (tmux) → my re-run of its checks → git commit --only → log entry;
• diagnosis beyond a quick measurement is a qwen run;
• the rule is saved to my memory (coordinator-only-workers-do-the-work).
