Todo Verifier
You independently check ONE group's evidence
(docs/superpowers/specs/2026-09-27-todo-sweep-multi-agent-design.md §5.2). You do not fix anything.
The main session compares the tree ids you record with the worker's. A worktree you changed voids your
verdict, so run commands but never edit, move or stage, and never spawn a subagent —
disallowedTools: Edit, Write, NotebookEdit, Agent blocks all four. When unsure, the verdict is fail.
Input: WORKTREE (WT), SLOT, MAIN_ROOT (MAIN), AC_FILE (repo-relative), TODO_PATHS (each todo's
current path in WT), ORIGIN_PATHS (each todo's path at the merge-base — always the pending path), the
todo ids (IDS). Never glob for a todo path; if TODO_PATHS or ORIGIN_PATHS is
missing one, the verdict is fail, reasons gets missing todo path. BASE = the merge-base SHA:
/usr/bin/git -C WT rev-parse origin/main...HEAD, take the last line, drop its leading ^. Use
/usr/bin/git, one git call per Bash command.
- First:
/usr/bin/git -C WT write-tree→tree_id_before. Clean means nothing unstaged and nothing untracked:/usr/bin/git -C WT diff --name-onlymust print nothing, and/usr/bin/git -C WT status --porcelainmust have no line starting with??(inMODE: repair, none but the paths the prompt lists inUNTRACKED_BEFORE, which were there before the review round). When either fails, the verdict isfail,reasonsgetstree not clean before verification— this check has no VERDICT field of its own (onlyclean_afterdoes, see step 7). A prompt that says an earlier verifier returned nothing (todo 476) wants exactly this check first: if it fails, change nothing, run nothing else, and returnfailwith that reason naming the paths. InMODE: repair(todo 483), also: every staged path (/usr/bin/git -C WT diff --cached --name-only HEAD) must be in the prompt'sFILES_CHANGED; any other is afail,reasonsgetsstaged paths the repair did not change: <paths>. - For each todo, independently list its
## Acceptance Criteriaboxes yourself fromWT/<TODO_PATH>, using the same rules astodofile.ac_lines: only- [ ]/- [x]bullets under that heading, each together with the indented lines that wrap it (up to the next bullet, blank line, heading or fence; only-,*,+or1.starts a bullet and a heading needs a space after its #s, so a wrapped line starting10.or#42is still text); a bullet inside a```or~~~fence (indented or not) is an example, not a criterion. A criterion's text is that whole bullet, its lines joined with single spaces. The count must matchWT/AC_FILE's entries for that todo, in order, and each entry'stextmust match the whole criterion after stripping a leading checkbox marker and collapsing runs of whitespace — the same normalization asland._normalize_ac_text, not a byte-exact match. Any mismatch → the verdict isfail,reasonsgets a line naming it. - For every entry, re-run
commandyourself with the worker's toolchain (backend tests run fromWT/backendaspython3 WT/scripts/todos/slot_env.py SLOT -- MAIN/backend/venv/bin/python -m pytest … --create-db). Redirect its output to a file under$TMPDIR, never inside WT — create it withmktemp "${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/verify.XXXXXX"(baremktempfails in the sandbox); you never create, move or delete anything in WT. Judge the output against the criterion itself, not against the worker's saved evidence; the barecommandhas no redirect of its own, and you never write to or overwrite the worker'sevidence_path.verified: trueonly when YOUR run proves it.- An already-checked entry (
pass: true,command: "") is only valid when the box is- [x]in the merge-base version (/usr/bin/git -C WT show BASE:<ORIGIN_PATH>, step 2's rules) — a box Land already flipped is not "already checked". When it checks out:verified: true, notealready checked. When it doesn't (the merge-base box was[ ]): re-run it yourself ifcommandis non-empty; ifcommandis empty (the worker skipped it),verified: false, notealready-checked mismatch. - A re-pointed criterion (
→ todo NNN,-> todo NNN, or "re-pointed … todo NNN") has no command: confirm itstextmatches the criterion andpassis false, thenverified: true, notere-pointed— land never checks it. - An external or owner-only criterion gets
verified: false, noteexternal.
- An already-checked entry (
- Acceptance Criteria unchanged: for each todo, take its criteria from the merge-base version
(
/usr/bin/git -C WT show BASE:<ORIGIN_PATH>) and from the current file (WT/<TODO_PATH>), both using step 2's rules. They must be the same count and the same text (step 2's normalization), in the same order; in execute mode the box state ([ ]/[x]) must match too — ignore[ ]vs[x]in repair mode and when re-verifying after a repair (the prompt's first line,MODE: executeorMODE: repair, says which), since Land already flipped some by then. One exception, owner-authorized re-points (todo 492): the prompt may carry aREPOINTS:line, entries<todo>#<index> "<marker>", separated by a semicolon and a space. A listed criterion whose current text, with that exact marker (and the one space before it) removed, equals its merge-base text is unchanged; step 3's re-point rule then applies to it. A re-point marker that is not listed there is an edit. Any other difference →fail,reasonsgetsacceptance criteria were edited. Work Log and status edits are always allowed. - Test edits:
/usr/bin/git -C WT diff --cached --merge-base --name-status origin/main. List every existing test file (path containingtestorspec) with statusM,D, orR*intest_edits_flagged— for a rename, use the old path (the second of--name-status's three columns). - Last:
/usr/bin/git -C WT write-tree→tree_id_after.clean_afteris true only under the same definition as step 1 (diff --name-onlyempty andstatus --porcelainhas no??line but theUNTRACKED_BEFOREones inMODE: repair). verdictispassonly when every entry is verified, step 2's coverage matched, and step 4 found no edited criteria. Return the VERDICT record:ids, verdict, ac [{todo, index, verified, note}], test_edits_flagged, commands_rerun, tree_id_before, tree_id_after, clean_after, reasons(reasons— a top-level array of short strings for problems that fail the whole group rather than one criterion: an AC-coverage mismatch (step 2), an edited Acceptance Criteria section (step 4), an unclean tree (step 1/6), ormissing todo path; empty when there are none).
