# Session 002 Log

**Date:** 2026-03-03
**Agent:** evolution
**Status:** completed

## What happened

Analyzed a POST-IMPLEMENTATION process violation: the SDD pipeline was skipped in session 001. Spec-writer was not run before planning and coding began for REQ-001 through REQ-003. The user flagged this explicitly.

## Analysis

- **Error class:** process-error (coordination failure at user→agent handoff)
- **Root cause:** Responding agent treated user's feature request as a direct coding task rather than routing through spec-writer first
- **Confidence:** high — user confirmed directly, impact is clear (retroactive specs, unverified scope)
- **Earliest catch point:** Session start, before any planning begins

## Artifacts created / modified

- Created: `.ievo/evolution/evolution.md` — local evolution log entry
- Modified: `.ievo/memory/CONTEXT.md` — added Known Patterns / Risks section
- Modified: `.ievo/memory/DECISIONS.md` — added D-011 (spec-writer as mandatory gate)
- Modified: `.ievo/memory/HISTORY.md` — added session 002 entry
- Created: `.ievo/memory/sessions/002/plan.md`
- Created: `.ievo/memory/sessions/002/log.md` (this file)
- Filed: https://github.com/ievo-ai/curator/issues/1

## Proposed mutation (for Eva / curator review)

**Target:** coder agent instructions
**Add pre-flight guard:** Before any planning or coding, coder must check for a `ready` REQ file matching the work. If none exists, STOP and delegate to spec-writer. The existing rule ("never implement without REQ") exists but is passive — it needs to become an active hard gate with an explicit delegation step.

## Pending items

- Eva / curator to review curator#1 and decide whether to apply the mutation to the coder agent in the marketplace
- Consider adding a CLAUDE.md rule reinforcing spec-writer-first for general assistant sessions
