MQ-002 Phase 2 closure + dry-run + Phase-3 sequence — 2026-05-01T04:49 BST
Decision
Σ.α Run dry-run + MFI tax verification first Phase-3 Q + Wills brief Phase-3 Q-2 locked. PHASE 2 FORMALLY CLOSED; Phase-3 opens.
Build-readiness dry-run output (executed inline per §6.3 mitigation 2)
5 Sprint-1-blocker categories surfaced:
| Category | Description | Status |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Operational Phase-1 Sprint S1 tasks | richard-tasks 194-200; not architecturally-blocking |
| 2 | 5 priority Phase-3 audit-Q gaps | MFI tax verification + Wills brief + per-jurisdiction seeds + IAS Tiptap + IK MCP server stubs |
| 3 | Phase-1.5 trigger-gated gaps | Deferred to Phase-1.5 stress-test |
| 4 | Phase-2+ optionality gaps | Deferred (richard-tasks 189-196 + Λ.γ Phase-2+) |
Critical insight: Phase-3 Q-count revised down 30-50 (design-spec §10) → 20-30. Audit may converge faster than v1.1-amended 8-14mo timeline.
Phase-3 sequence locked
- ζ-Q9 = MFI tax-service-partner-comparison verification (first Phase-3 Q per design-spec §13 success criterion 4 + §10) — read code-mfi spec v2.3 §35-40 verbatim; verify v2 cross-module primitive coverage
- ζ-Q10 = Wills module-authoring brief (Phase-3 Q-2 per A-124 module-authoring sequence Wills → Probate → Trusts → Assets → Commerce → Transfer → Delegation → Credentials → Core)
- Phase-3 8-week time-box per §6.3 mitigation 1
- No new richard-tasks (#185-#202 sufficient)
Scoring
5 sequencing options against locked 14-criterion C frame: Σ.α dry-run + sequence 4.32 / Σ.ε pause review-checkpoint 3.92 / Σ.γ extensive review 3.85 / Σ.β skip dry-run 3.78 / Σ.δ stop audit early 3.45. Σ.α wins 5/8 perturbations + 0.40 margin (fourth consecutive ζ.2 above-threshold decision after MQ-001 R2 0.36 + ζ-Q7 0.40 + ζ-Q8 0.24).
Methodological observations
- Fourth consecutive above-threshold decision confirms architecture under R2 + Phase-2 closure is genuinely coherent.
- 9 of 10 ζ.2-related decisions convergent — only ζ-Q2 G+ permanent was Rich-divergent.
- Inline methodology compliance at Q-authoring time: dry-run executed inline at MQ-002 §3 (analogous to Donohue 2017 IRI spike at ζ-Q8 §14.1). Codify as
feedback_inline_methodology_compliance_at_q_authoring_timediscipline. - Phase-3 Q-count downward revision validates dry-run discipline: when audit can converge faster than design-spec upper-bound, dry-run surfaces this signal early; LL ARR runway protected.
Cascade artefacts
- arch-state Tier-1 v3.19 → v3.20 + A-135 amendment + Phase-2 closure marker
- INDEX v2.10 → v2.11 (Phase 3 status: opening; Phase-3 Q-count revised down)
- 2026-04-18 architecture-options scorecard v2.8 → v2.9 status note (Phase-2 closure + Phase-3 sequence locked)
- MQ-002 cascade file §14 + frontmatter status answered + maturity locked
Honest caveats
- LL ARR cover assumption monitoring (richard-tasks #185 + design-spec §6.4) load-bearing. If Q3 2026 forecast turns amber/red, perturbation #1 fires + Σ.δ becomes preferred. Monthly check at any docs-strategy session.
- MFI tax verification has known constraint per global CLAUDE.md §17.3: “Do NOT realign the MFI spec without Rich’s go-ahead.” ζ-Q9 = VERIFICATION (v2 architecture covers MFI flow), NOT realignment. If gaps surface, surface as Phase-3 Q-N options for resolution.
- Phase-3 8-week time-box auto-escalates to Rich at 80% elapsed (per §6.3 mitigation 1). Will fire ~6.4 weeks into Phase 3.
- Phase-2+ optionality gaps (Category 4) all preserved — gates Phase-1 progress; revisit at trigger conditions.
