Scope

CF-13 planning-only Spec Kit stack for baselines/suppression/quality gates.

Canonical base:

main: 8c6fe6aed96c9a97cc4dd7c73b0bc109badfa99b
tree: d2ae43250bdcfb58db5e6df150cab61cd92543d6

Master Architecture V2 authorizes CF-13 after CF-05. This planning PR does not depend on the externally blocked CF-06 / CF-10 production-oracle path.

Frozen V1 direction

CF-13 adds a separate deterministic adoption-layer command:

commandf gate <package-name> \
  --before-lock <path> --before-cache <path> \
  --after-lock <path> --after-cache <path> \
  [--direction both|producer|consumer] \
  [--fail-on breaking|risky|none] \
  [--baseline <cf05-check-report.json>] \
  [--suppressions <suppressions.json>] \
  [--format json] \
  [--output <path>]

The design preserves CF-04/CF-05 authority:

  • current compatibility evidence is produced by the existing CF-05 evaluator and embedded unchanged;
  • finding identity is a persisted explicit-version FindingFingerprint { schema: 1, digest: sha256:... };
  • nested JSON objects are recursively canonicalized before fingerprint/baseline/suppression semantic hashing while array order remains identity-bearing;
  • baseline evidence retains exact package identities plus the complete sorted baseline fingerprint membership set;
  • suppression evidence retains complete normalized exact-fingerprint membership with mandatory rationale;
  • persisted baseline/suppressed dispositions are revalidated against retained membership rather than trusted from digest/count alone;
  • no wildcard, rule-wide, severity-wide, resource-wide, time-based, network, model, or executable suppression authority exists in V1;
  • disposition precedence is suppressed > baseline > new;
  • only selected new findings can block under the existing CF-05 direction / fail_on semantics;
  • baseline and suppressed findings remain visible evidence;
  • existing commandf check JSON/SARIF/schema/exit semantics remain unchanged.

Files

Planning only:

  • specs/014-cf-13-baselines-suppression-quality-gates/spec.md
  • specs/014-cf-13-baselines-suppression-quality-gates/plan.md
  • specs/014-cf-13-baselines-suppression-quality-gates/tasks.md
  • specs/014-cf-13-baselines-suppression-quality-gates/consistency.md

No production code, workflow, dependency, lock-schema, CF-06 oracle identity, or frozen CF-10 corpus change is included.

First-review remediation

The first review of head bbe57c2a3d684f6418bd299b148e126a80054d54 found five substantive planning defects. The current head series fixes all five:

  1. baseline digest now uses recursive semantic JSON canonicalization rather than direct CheckReport::to_json_bytes() hashing;
  2. retained proof now requires immutable repository/dependency/source/package provenance;
  3. baseline evidence now persists complete membership sufficient to revalidate baseline dispositions;
  4. every persisted fingerprint identity carries explicit schema 1, with cross-version rejection required;
  5. T016/T017 now require legitimate-report validation and explicit tampering/counterexample tests.

Any previous exact-head CI/review result is superseded by these mutations.

Current planning gate

Current head:

33a0536d745d67ac6a094ce891293efa7e2204b9

T004 remains incomplete until this exact final planning head has:

  • all path-applicable repository workflows terminal and green;
  • independent reviewer truth recorded without inventing unavailable/rate-limited PASS;
  • zero unresolved substantive findings;
  • mergeability against unchanged canonical main.

The PR is Ready so configured reviewers can evaluate the remediated exact head. Implementation must not begin before the canonical planning merge.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to bbe57

This planning-only change defines a deterministic quality-gate contract, but the current specification still leaves persisted evidence vulnerable to non-reproducibility and forged baseline dispositions, while omitting required fingerprint-version and tampering checks. The PR is not merge-ready until these bounded design gaps are addressed.

AI Description

• Defines deterministic commandf gate contracts for baselines, suppressions, and new-finding
 enforcement.
• Preserves CF-05 reports, policy semantics, outputs, and exit behavior.

High-Level Assessment

The planned separate commandf gate command is the strongest approach. Mutating commandf check or filtering its reports was considered and correctly dismissed because it would destabilize CF-05 JSON, SARIF, exit semantics, and downstream consumers; exact local fingerprints also provide a narrower, deterministic authority than wildcard or external-policy mechanisms.

Action required

1. Canonicalize baseline evidence digest ✓ Resolved 🐞 Bug ≡ Correctness
Description
The plan hashes CheckReport::to_json_bytes() as the baseline digest, but that serializer preserves
insertion order of nested serde_json::Value objects. Consequently, semantically identical baseline
reports with different nested object-key order produce different evidence digests, contradicting the
documented key-order/format invariance and making equivalent baseline inputs appear as different
evidence.
Code

specs/014-cf-13-baselines-suppression-quality-gates/plan.md[R112-115]

+### 5. Baseline canonical evidence digest
+
+Canonicalize the parsed baseline report using its existing `to_json_bytes()` after validation. Because the embedded compatibility findings already have deterministic ordering, compute SHA-256 over those canonical bytes.

Relevance

●●● Strong

Correctness issue directly violates documented key-order invariance; similar determinism and
evidence findings were accepted.

PR-#13
PR-#18

ⓘ Recommendations generated based on similar findings in past PRs

Evidence
The changed plan explicitly selects the existing to_json_bytes() output as canonical baseline
bytes, while the repository model stores finding evidence as arbitrary JSON values and serializes
them with ordinary serde_json. That combination does not normalize nested object-key order, directly
violating the PR's own deterministic digest requirements.

Agent prompt
The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

## Issue description
The baseline digest is specified as SHA-256 over `CheckReport::to_json_bytes()`, but nested `serde_json::Value` object key insertion order can vary and ordinary serialization preserves that order. Equivalent baseline JSON can therefore receive different evidence digests, violating the determinism guarantees in the spec and consistency record.

## Issue Context
The fingerprint section already requires recursive object-key canonicalization, while the baseline digest section incorrectly assumes deterministic finding ordering is sufficient. Baseline evidence must be canonicalized from parsed semantics, not merely pretty-serialized with the existing report serializer.

## Fix Focus Areas
- specs/014-cf-13-baselines-suppression-quality-gates/plan.md[112-115]
- specs/014-cf-13-baselines-suppression-quality-gates/spec.md[194-201]
- specs/014-cf-13-baselines-suppression-quality-gates/consistency.md[73-75]

Specify a fixed canonical representation for the validated baseline report, recursively sort JSON object keys (while preserving array order), and hash those canonical bytes. Add an acceptance/test requirement covering nested object-key permutations, not only whitespace or top-level key order.
