# mstar-iteration(迭代管理)

## Load order

**Read `mstar-harness-core` first.** Path symbols → **`mstar-conventions`**. Per-plan gates → **`mstar-phase-gates`**. Knowledge crystallization → **`mstar-compound`**. Phase 2 implement 波次(进入 per-plan implement 前)→ **`mstar-sdd`** + **`mstar-dispatch-gates`**;Phase 2 QC 前 → **`mstar-review-qc`**。Git/worktree 载体(有 git 写或 lease 时)→ **`mstar-branch-worktree`**。**Phase 1 角色派发 preflight**(每次 invoke 前的 assignment preflight;`enforcement: hard` fail-fast)→ **`references/command-shared-invariants.md`**(本 skill 直接触发时不依赖 command 层)。On conflict, **`mstar-harness-core` wins**.

**Phase detail 不在本 skill 正文**:按下方 **Phase route map** 只加载当前动作对应的一行 detail——**禁止**无条件通读全部 phase references。

**Scoped primary route**(`/iteration-drive --assignment|--workflow/--plan|--resume`)→ **`references/plan-scoped-pm.md`**,且**先于**本 skill 的全局 todo / backlog / last-plan 逻辑判定。

## Scoped primary route(先于全局 Phase 逻辑)

`/iteration-drive` 的 scoped 形态在**本 skill 的任何全局 Phase 逻辑之前**改道:

- **先选 route,再 seed todo**:不得先按整迭代 boot 建立全局 session todos / backlog / last-plan Phase 3 判断,再把 scoped 会话当作过滤器处理。
- **scoped finish = durable handoff**(plan 保持 `InReview`、保留 `execution_lease`)。`status: Done`、两个 lease 的删除、Phase 3–6、compass / index / root 投影与迭代 PR **仅 coordinator** 拥有。
- 无参数调用**语义不变**(Phase 2 → 3 → 4 → 5 → 6);非法非空形态 **fail closed**,**禁止**回落整迭代路线;leaf 收到该命令 → 角色边界拒绝。
- boot / plan-local drive / finish / coordinator 序列全文 → **`references/plan-scoped-pm.md`**。

## 设计思路

mstar 实践模式通常是:一次迭代锁定几个 spec 点(`specify + clarify`),产生多个 `plan`,每个 plan 含多个 tasks。**per-plan 生命周期有完整的闭环**(Prepare → Execute → QC → Done)。Compound 不是 per-plan 活动——它是**迭代级收口**,在迭代内所有 plan Done 后,沉淀一轮知识。

本 skill 管理迭代 **Phase 1–6**(command 层可聚合编排,但 **不得**反向引用 command 名;第三方 helper 仅由 command 按需发现):

```
Phase 1: start
     ↓
Phase 2: Autonomous Execute  —— [per-plan lifecycle × N]
     ↓
Phase 3: iteration-close
     ↓
Phase 4: PR delivery(开 PR)
     ↓
Phase 5: PR merge-ready loop —— 至 mergeable + CI 全绿 + reviews resolved
     ↓
Phase 6: post-merge close —— PR merged 后 §6.1–§6.4
     ↓
迭代交付完成
```

**关键定位**:

- **Phase 3** 在 integration 分支收口 compound / roadmap;**开 PR(Phase 4)≠ 迭代交付完成**。
- **Phase 5** 是 **merge-ready loop**(修复 → 等 CI/review 波次结束再 push → 再验证,至 §5.5 exit);**Loop 理念与 push cadence SSOT 在本 skill**(§2.6;push cadence 细则 §5.1a → `references/phase-4-5-pr-delivery.md`);宿主 command 可叠加额外 **non-`mstar-*`** helper(**优先** `babysit` / `*-babysit`;**`greploop` 可选**),但不写入 `mstar-*` load order。
- **Phase 6** 是 **post-merge close**(PR **merged** 后 §6.1–§6.4:terminal snapshot → unregister → 投影对齐 → cleanup(`mstar worktree cleanup`,dry-run 默认;守卫契约本体 → `mstar-branch-worktree`「Worktree / branch cleanup」));**§5.5 exit / PR mergeable ≠ 生命周期已关闭**(`references/phase-6-post-merge-close.md`)。
- 一次迭代 = 一个 PR;compound 产物随 PR 合入 snapshot `branch.target`。

## Phase route map(唯一路由表 — 按当前动作加载)

| 当前动作 | 必读 detail(按需加载,勿通读) |
|---------|--------------------------------|
| **scoped primary**(`/iteration-drive` 带 `--assignment` / `--workflow --plan` / `--resume`) | **`references/plan-scoped-pm.md`**(scoped boot → plan-local drive → handoff finish → coordinator 序列;**先于**整迭代 todo / last-plan 逻辑) |
| **start** (new iteration / reopen direction lock) | **`references/phase-1-prepare.md`** (§1.1–§1.6: context → direction lock/hook → §1.2.5 retained prototype and feedback loop → formal compass/plans/specs → registration → selected Review & Edit rounds with mandatory final writer). Interactive requires current-design HTML confirmation before authoring; explicit autonomous opt-in retains an appropriate prototype without routine human approval. |
| **execute / resume**(推进或恢复 per-plan 循环) | **`references/phase-2-worktree-lease.md`**(§2.0 五道闸、§2.1–§2.5 loop/dispatch 细则、control root + integration worktree + lease 全文) |
| **close**(全部 plan Done 后收口迭代) | **`references/phase-3-iteration-close.md`**(§3.0–§3.6:entry checklist、compound、roadmap、完成标记、exit checklist + commit) |
| **PR / merge-ready**(开 PR、推进合并就绪 loop) | **`references/phase-4-5-pr-delivery.md`**(§4–§5.2:开 PR、§5.1a push cadence、loop、exit checklist) |
| **Phase 6 / post-merge close**(PR merged 后关闭 lifecycle) | **`references/phase-6-post-merge-close.md`**(entry(verified merged)+ §6.1 terminal write → §6.2 unregister → §6.3 projection reconciliation → §6.4 cleanup:`mstar worktree cleanup`,dry-run 默认,`--apply` 才变更) |
| **Phase 5 helper discovery**(仅 command 层按需) | **`references/phase5-helper-discovery.md`**(babysit / greploop 发现) |

一次只加载当前 route 一行;phase 切换按下方 **Phase transition gates** 走。

## Phase transition gates(HARD — 防跳步)

| 边界 | 触发 | 必须 | 禁止 |
|------|------|------|------|
| **→ Phase 2**(entry / resume) | §2.0 五道闸全过(细则 → `references/phase-2-worktree-lease.md`) | 继续 Autonomous Execute per-plan loop(phase-2 reference §2.4);主 worktree 驻留 = 记录的 **`Main worktree branch`**,integration 分支检出在专属 integration worktree | 五道闸任一 false 仍派发;branch metadata 缺失用 `main`/`master` 补位;把生命周期分支切到主 checkout |
| **→ Phase 3** | workflow snapshot(`workflows/<id>/snapshot.json`)中 compass 登记的全部 plan 均为 `Done` | 打印 `## Phase 3: iteration-close`;执行 §3.0→§3.5(`references/phase-3-iteration-close.md`);host todo `phase-3-iteration-close` 保持 open 直至 §3.5;close commit 在 **integration worktree** 执行 | 开 PR;宣称迭代交付完成;仅依赖 final plan closure;在主 checkout 上 commit close 产物 |
| **→ Phase 4** | §3.5 exit checklist 全 `[x]`;frontmatter `status: completed` + `end_date` | 打印 `## Phase 4: PR delivery`;开 PR 到 snapshot `branch.target`(§4 → `references/phase-4-5-pr-delivery.md`) | 跳过 §3.1 entry checklist 或 compound Phase 6 |
| **→ Phase 5** | Phase 4 PR 已创建 | 打印 `## Phase 5: PR merge-ready`;执行 §5 loop 至 §5.5 exit(含 §5.1a push cadence) | 开 PR 后停止;跳过 review resolve / CI loop;**CI/AI review 仍在跑时 push** |
| **→ Phase 6** | PR **已 merge**(verified merged;mergeable ≠ merged,由 PM 核实) | 打印 `## Phase 6: post-merge close`;按 §6.1→§6.4 执行(`references/phase-6-post-merge-close.md`);todo `phase-6-post-merge-close` 保持 open 直至 §6.4 | mergeable 即视为 merged;未核实 merge 就调用 close;§6.1–§6.3 之间夹带 tracked commit |
| **→ 迭代交付完成** | Phase 6 §6.1–§6.4 完成(`references/phase-6-post-merge-close.md`) | snapshot `completed` + `ended_at`;根 `status.json` 条目注销(`mstar status workflow-close --workflow <id>` exit 0);投影一致 | §5.5 exit 或 PR merge 即宣称交付完成;为 close 释放 lease 或伪造 Done/关闭 residual |
| **start → integration branch** | §1.2.5 prototype checkpoint + §1.6 Review & Edit (`references/phase-1-prepare.md`) | Retained confirmed interactive HTML or reasoned autonomous prototype; formal documents aligned to that baseline; PM records product/architect include/omit rationale; actual selected roles edit sequentially, mandatory writer last; package specs/hygiene, marker closure, per-plan Prepare gates and compass `status: locked` | Formal authoring before prototype disposition; stale design approval; fake skip receipts; unresolved gaps hidden by omission; PM replacing specialist edits/writer; parallel shared-document editing; new knowledge or prototype-as-spec/acceptance evidence |

> **Engine check (when available):** run `mstar iteration gate --workflow <id> --compass <delivery-compass.md> --branch "$(git branch --show-current)" --integration <spec_integration_branch> --target <target_branch>` (or `import { evaluatePhaseGate } from "@mstar-harness/engine"` with the `currentBranch` / `specIntegrationBranch` / `prBaseBranch` probe inputs in a host hook) to evaluate the transition gate above against the workflow snapshot — the branch probes cover §3.5 exit item 5 (`EXIT_BRANCH_MISMATCH` when the commit checkout is not on `spec_integration_branch`; verify **before** the §3.5 close commit, not after). On `fail` (gate-blocking violations) -> do not proceed; fix and re-run. Note: during the Phase-3 window (`transition: phase-3-close`) the gate exits 1 until the §3.4 close items (`status: completed` + `end_date`) are written — that exit-1 is the expected "close work pending" signal (the exit checklist gates Phase 4, not the Phase-3 entry), so proceed with Phase 3 per the table below. Skill text below remains authoritative when the runtime is absent.

**误判信号**:对话里出现 compound 摘要、roadmap 更新、或「所有 plan 已完成」但 **未** 打印 §3.1 / §3.5 checklist → 视为 **Phase 3 未执行**,回到 `references/phase-3-iteration-close.md` §3.0。

**per-plan 状态 SSOT**:`{WORKFLOW_DIR}/<id>/snapshot.json` 的 `plans[]` 行(per-plan Todo/InProgress/InReview/Done);根 `{HARNESS_DIR}/status.json` `workflows[]` 登记活跃 lifecycle。Phase 6 close 后 snapshot 终态(`completed` + `ended_at`)保留为归档,根条目注销(removal-at-terminal;`references/phase-6-post-merge-close.md` §6.1–§6.2)。
**迭代状态 SSOT**:`{ITERATION_DIR}/<id>/delivery-compass.md` frontmatter `status` + `{ITERATION_DIR}/README.md` 索引(一行 = 一次迭代)。
**迭代分支 SSOT**:snapshot `branch.base`(= `iteration_base_branch`)+ `branch.target`(= `target_branch`)与 `branch.integration`(= `spec_integration_branch`)(`workflows/<id>/snapshot.json`);compass frontmatter 镜像同名字段。解析顺序见 phase-2 reference §2.3。**禁止**因仓库存在 `main`/`master` 就假定 base 或 PR 目标。**`branch.base` 是创建/merge 锚点,不是驻留事实**——主 worktree(control root)驻留分支在生命周期写入前由 PM 记录为主 plan 头的 **`Main worktree branch`**,全程不切换;integration 分支检出在专属 integration worktree(snapshot `integration_worktree_path`)。

## 产物存储位置

**SSOT**: `mstar-conventions/references/artifact-storage-paths.md`. Iteration package → `{ITERATION_DIR}/<iteration-id>/`: `prototypes/` is retained design context created before formal `delivery-compass.md`, `guides/` and `specs/`; optional package/root README prose. Legacy flat `{ITERATION_DIR}/<id>-delivery-compass.md` is read-only compatibility.

## 2.6 Continuous execution + push 纪律(Phase 2–5 通用 SSOT)

**Continuous execution(HARD)**:Phase 2 Autonomous Execute 经 Phase 5 merge-ready exit 全程 — 不向用户做例行 yes/no check-in。

- 不因 harness 流程问题常问「是否继续」「要不要现在启动」—— **决策、记录、dispatch**
- 进度汇报 / subagent Completion Report 后,下一条必须是 **dispatch 或下一 gate 动作**,不得以确认问句收束 turn
- 未知 → 读 `mstar-*`;仅 **`Blocked`**、secrets、不可逆范围缺口、branch metadata 缺失、或 Phase 5 多轮仍 blocked 时升级用户
- 实际 Git ≠ `working_branch` → **同轮**更新 plan + snapshot + `execution_lease.working_branch`(如适用)
- **跨 plan implement 并行安全闸**与 **integration merge 串行** → `references/phase-2-worktree-lease.md` §2.0 #5 /「Multi-plan parallelism」(**无论** `Worktree mode: waived`)
- plan 内 SDD 独立 ready tasks **并行**,真实依赖与共享写目标串行 — phase-2 reference §2.4、§2.5、`mstar-sdd` Ready-task scheduling
- **allow-residual(默认)**:open R# 先登记 project register,且各决策面披露(清单 + severity + 跟踪位置;close 面另含 blocker-defer 标记);unresolved `critical` 仍阻断 Approve;`zero-residual` 为显式 opt-in(可修当轮清干净,仅真 blocker-defer + Durable Roadmap)— 登记与披露职责 → **`mstar-artifacts`** Findings cleanup modes
- iteration 命令共享的 PM invariants / preflight / todos / STOP → **`references/command-shared-invariants.md`**

**Push cadence(§5.1a HARD)**:本地可提前修,**禁止**在 CI / AI review 波次未结束时 `git push` — 细则 → `references/phase-4-5-pr-delivery.md` §5.1a。

## 迭代 compass 模板

完整模板见 `references/iteration-compass-template.md`。

## 与其它技能的关系

完整 topic-skill 索引见 **`mstar-harness-core`**。本 skill 迭代级关键引用:

- **`mstar-compound`** — iteration-close 中触发知识结晶(**唯一**默认 knowledge 新增路径)
- **`references/phase-1-prepare.md`** — start route detail(§1.1–§1.6)
- **`references/phase-2-worktree-lease.md`** — execute/resume route detail(per-plan loop + integration worktree、`execution_lease`、`integration_merge_lease`)
- **`references/autonomous-direction-lock.md`** — §1.2 autonomous direction lock、scale budget、branch resolve
- **`references/iteration-artifact-boundaries.md`** — Phase 1 specs / iteration package / knowledge 分工
- **`references/iteration-corpus-hygiene.md`** — §1.6 writing-specialist specs 卫生细则

## NOT to do

共享反递归红线全清单见 **`mstar-roles/references/_shared/leaf-executor-core.md`**「Shared anti-recursion NEVER」。迭代级高频陷阱(其余各 Phase 内已含对应 hard rule):

- **不要将 Phase 4 开 PR 等同于迭代交付完成** — 必须完成 Phase 5 §5.2 merge-ready loop
- **不要将 §5.5 exit 或 PR merge 当作生命周期终点** — merged 后必须进入 Phase 6(`references/phase-6-post-merge-close.md` §6.1–§6.4);禁止为通过 close 释放 lease 或伪造 Done/关闭 residual
- **不要在 Phase 5 CI 仍跑或 AI review 波次未结束时 push**(§5.1a)— 本地可提前修,push 等 idle
- **不要在 integration worktree 或主 checkout(control root)上直接编辑产品代码** — Phase 5 修复走 fix feature worktree,review 后 merge 回 integration worktree(`phase-4-5-pr-delivery.md` §5.0)
- **不要在缺 `iteration_base_branch` / `target_branch` 时默认 `main` / `master`**
- **不要在 Phase 1 §1.6 由 product/architect 向 `{KNOWLEDGE_DIR}/` 新增**(知识 → iteration-close **`mstar-compound`**)
- **不要在 per-plan Done 后立即 compound** — 等 iteration-close 统一做

## Workflow

Phase 1–6 总览见上文 **`## 设计思路`** 图。执行时按 **`## Phase route map`** 选当前动作的一行 detail:`start`(范围 + compass + §1.6 Review & Edit 链)→ `Autonomous Execute`(五道闸 → §2.4 per-plan 循环:分支 → 实现 → QC → QA gate → Done → 串行 merge)→ `iteration-close`(§3.1–§3.5 + `mstar-compound`)→ `PR delivery`(Phase 4)→ `PR merge-ready loop`(Phase 5 至 §5.5 exit)→ `post-merge close`(Phase 6,PR merged 后 §6.1–§6.4)。每波用 §2.1 session todos 设护栏防范围漂移;phase 切换以上方 **Phase transition gates** 为准。

## Evidence

迭代交付完成 = Phase 5 §5.5 exit checklist 全 `[x]` **且 PR merged 已核实** **且 Phase 6 §6.1–§6.4 完成**(snapshot `completed` + `ended_at`、根 `status.json` 条目注销、投影一致;`references/phase-6-post-merge-close.md`)。Phase 3 完成标志 = compass frontmatter `status: completed` + `end_date`(§3.4)+ §3.5 exit checklist。close 证据在磁盘产物(compass / plans / specs 修订 + 索引 + metadata),不要求单独迭代审查报告(§1.6,`references/phase-1-prepare.md`)。
