## Signals

### Test Failures
None. 374/374 passed (5.18s).

### Code Quality (ruff)
Clean. 0 issues.

### Coverage Gaps
Overall 93%. Key gaps:
- `create_cmd.py` 90% — spec file validation paths (lines 159, 188, 304, 309, 334-378, 398-502)
- `fmt_cmd.py` 90% — file-not-found, table edge cases (lines 46, 102, 177-261, 323-409)
- `plan_cmd.py` 85% — JSON gate detection, empty steps (lines 60-69, 96, 116-173)
- `status_cmd.py` 89% — empty docs branch (lines 22-30)
- `update_cmd.py` 91% — spec validation paths (lines 43-44, 67, 233-451)
- `validate_cmd.py` 92% — exception handling (lines 59, 69, 125-195)

### Source Analysis
- **Duplication (HIGH):** `_render_section_content()` identical in create_cmd.py:149-159 and update_cmd.py:57-67
- **Duplication (HIGH):** `_validate_spec_status()` identical in create_cmd.py:115-122 and update_cmd.py:47-54
- **Duplication (MEDIUM):** Prefix/ACID regex validation repeated inline in create_cmd.py spec mode (lines 342-361) instead of reusing callbacks
- **Dead code (MEDIUM):** Broad `except Exception: pass` in scanner.py:64-65, search_cmd.py:39, validate_cmd.py:125

### SOP vs Code Gap
- **COR-1302 / FXA-2127 (HIGH):** `af index` can produce duplicate index files; FXA-2127 Step 2 requires manual cleanup
- **COR-1103 (MEDIUM):** No CLI enforcement of COR-1402 declarations or COR-1606 workflow selection (by design — human responsibility)
- Undocumented CLI features: `--spec`, `af fmt`, `af status`, `af changelog` (informational, not code issue)

## Candidates

| # | Candidate | Evidence |
|---|-----------|----------|
| A | Extract `_render_section_content` + `_validate_spec_status` to `_helpers.py` | Identical functions in create_cmd.py and update_cmd.py |
| B | Add test for `plan_cmd._parse_steps_for_json` gate detection | Coverage gap: lines 60-69 uncovered |
| C | Add test for `status_cmd` empty docs branch | Coverage gap: lines 22-30 uncovered |
| D | Simplify `parser.py` row construction | Verbose conditional |
| E | Reuse validate callbacks in spec mode | Regex duplication |
| F | Index duplicate auto-detection | FXA-2127 manual cleanup |

## Evaluation Scores

Weights: Test verifiability 35% / Scope restraint 30% / Backward compatibility 20% / Necessity 15%

| # | TV | SR | BC | N | Score | Verdict |
|---|----|----|----|----|-------|---------|
| A | 9 | 9 | 10 | 9 | **9.20** | PASS — implement |
| B | 10 | 10 | 10 | 7 | **9.55** | PASS — implement |
| C | 10 | 10 | 10 | 6 | **9.40** | PASS — deferred (lower impact) |
| D | 9 | 10 | 10 | 4 | **8.35** | PASS — deferred (feels improvable) |
| E | 8 | 8 | 9 | 8 | **8.20** | PASS — deferred (coupling risk) |
| F | 8 | 7 | 9 | 7 | **7.75** | PASS — deferred (broad scope) |

**Implementing this run:** A, B
