Closes the PRD-lifecycle gap surfaced by the user: when sandcastle
finishes an epic's last task, the seed PRD should auto-flip from
approved -> shipped. Builds the mechanism, wires it into the work
CLI + state index + reviewer prompt + docs.
scripts/work/prd-ship.mjs (new):
- parseFrontmatter / serializeFrontmatter — minimal YAML-ish parser
sufficient for PRD frontmatter (scalar + list shapes)
- flipPrdStatus — pure function: takes PRD text, returns new text
with status=shipped + shipped=<date> + optional shipping-commits.
Refuses to flip draft, idempotent fail-soft on already-shipped,
rejects unexpected statuses
- deriveShippingCommits — best-effort git log of the linked epic
folder for the --auto-commits flag
- findPrdPath — id -> path lookup under docs/work/prds/
- runCli — wiring for `pnpm work prd-ship <id> [--commits|--auto-commits]`
scripts/work/prd-ship.test.mjs (new, 17 tests):
- Frontmatter parser handles scalars + lists + missing frontmatter
- flipPrdStatus covers all transitions + refusals + body/key preservation
- findPrdPath + serializeFrontmatter coverage
scripts/work/state-builder.mjs:
- Epic entries gain a `prd` field
- New computeNeedsPrdShip surfaces epics done with PRD status not yet
shipped: state.needs_prd_ship[] with action commands
scripts/work/cli.mjs:
- New subcommand `pnpm work prd-ship <id>`
.sandcastle/reviewer.prompt.md:
- "Epic close-out: PRD status flip" section instructing reviewer to
check _state.json.needs_prd_ship and run the suggested action
- JSON output extends with prd_shipped: "<id>" | null
docs/work/README.md:
- "PRD lifecycle" section documenting the 4 statuses + auto-flip
Future PRDs follow the lifecycle automatically: decomposer refuses
draft, human flips to approved, sandcastle ships the epic, reviewer
runs prd-ship on the final task, PRD lands as shipped with its
commit trail.

Closes the staleness gap after the 10-commit coverage epic shipped.
Doc sync (item 1 from the user's choice):
- CLAUDE.md Quick Start: adds pnpm coverage:aggregate / coverage:diff
/ mutate to the command listing
- CLAUDE.md: new "Sibling architecture: coverage (ADR-020)" section
after the conformance gate table — captures the 4-layer table +
points at docs/guides/coverage.md + ADR-020 + says agents must run
coverage:diff before reporting complete
- AGENTS.md preamble: now lists coverage as a parallel multi-latency
quality system alongside conformance, with the same gate / latency
framing
- PRD frontmatter: status draft -> shipped + shipped date +
shipping-commits list (all 10 SHAs anchoring the trace)
- PRD findings table: each row gets a Resolution column citing the
commit that closed it; conclusion text updated to past tense
- ADR-020 implementation phasing: rewritten as a status table with
each step linked to the commit that shipped it + Boot-time
assertFeatureConformance explicitly marked Deferred with rationale
- docs/guides/coverage.md: removed "Boot wiring lands in the next
story" line; replaced with the deferral rationale + clarified
that two readers (vitest, coverage:diff) consume the manifest
Sandcastle prompts (item 2 from the user's choice):
- .sandcastle/implementer.prompt.md: new "Coverage gates" section
after the conformance-gates list, requiring `pnpm test --coverage`,
`pnpm coverage:aggregate`, and `pnpm coverage:diff` to all pass
before reporting `complete`. Machine-readable JSON shape of
coverage:diff documented (status / uncovered[] / kind enum), with
explicit instructions on how to interpret each kind. Allowlist
expansion requires justification + test.
- .sandcastle/reviewer.prompt.md: AC coverage relabeled to "AC
coverage (acceptance criteria, not test coverage)" to disambiguate;
new check #7 "Coverage gates (ADR-020)" requiring CI's
Coverage — diff (L1) step green + per-layer thresholds met +
no silent allowlist expansion + manifest band drift detection.
Effect: future agent runs through sandcastle now treat coverage as a
first-class blocking gate, parallel to conformance. PRs no longer
discover coverage failures only via CI; the implementer is required
to check before reporting done, and the reviewer is required to
verify.

Captures the brainstorm convergence (2026-05-13) into a draft PRD that
seeds the implementation epic. Decisions captured:
- 4-layer coverage architecture (L0 vitest thresholds, L1 diff coverage,
L2 aggregate summary.json, L3 mutation testing on entities + use-cases)
- Manifest-driven coverage band as the single source of truth — vitest
config, assertFeatureConformance boot check, and pnpm coverage:diff
all derive expectations from feature.manifest.ts
- Cover-the-diff (every changed line exercised) not cover-the-new-code
- Aggregate trend committed as coverage/summary.json; no SaaS dep
- Stryker for mutation, on-demand only, NOT in default pnpm test
L0 verification findings (also captured in the PRD):
- auth / blog / marketing-pages: green (100% layer bands hold)
- navigation: real test gaps in entities + controllers (~86%)
- media: missing @vitest/coverage-v8 dep + vitest.config has no
coverage block at all (entirely absent — the most extreme case of
the duplication problem the manifest-driven keystone eliminates)
Status remains draft until the human review pass. Decomposer will
refuse to run on draft.

Mark epic + story status done, check all task boxes, rebuild _state.json.
All checks green: typecheck, tests (360 passing), lint, turbo boundaries.

- Regenerate audit + realtime core-package e2e snapshots (template
Phase-label changes altered file hashes)
- Fix pre-existing lint error in auth authentication.service.ts:
rename unused params to _user / _sessionId, drop stale eslint-disable
comments that were on wrong lines
- Mark story tasks 1-9 done; rebuild _state.json
