# OBPI-0.34.0-07: plan-audit-gate

## ADR ITEM -- Level 1 WBS Reference

- Source ADR: `docs/design/adr/pre-release/ADR-0.34.0-claude-hooks-absorption/ADR-0.34.0-claude-hooks-absorption.md`
- OBPI Entry (Level 1 WBS): `OBPI-0.34.0-07 -- "Compare plan-audit-gate.py -- gates plan execution with audit checks"`

## OBJECTIVE

Compare airlineops's `plan-audit-gate.py` hook against gzkit's equivalent hook behavior. This hook gates plan execution by running audit checks before allowing the agent to proceed with implementation -- ensuring plans meet governance standards before work begins. Determine whether gzkit's existing plan gating covers the same audit depth.

## SOURCE MATERIAL

- **airlineops:** `.claude/hooks/plan-audit-gate.py`
- **gzkit equivalent:** `src/gzkit/hooks/` -- plan gating behavior in existing modules

## ASSUMPTIONS

- Plan auditing before execution is a governance enforcement pattern
- gzkit likely has some form of plan gating
- airlineops's version may check additional audit criteria from operational experience

## NON-GOALS

- Changing plan format or requirements
- Adding new audit criteria without justification

## REQUIREMENTS (FAIL-CLOSED)

1. Read both implementations completely
1. Document comparison: audit checks, gating criteria, failure messages, bypass prevention
1. Record decision: gzkit sufficient, or absorb airlineops improvements
1. If absorbing: integrate into gzkit hook module architecture and write tests
1. If confirming: document why gzkit's plan gating is sufficient

## ALLOWED PATHS

- `src/gzkit/hooks/` -- target for absorbed hook behavior
- `tests/` -- tests for absorbed hook behavior
- `docs/design/adr/pre-release/ADR-0.34.0-claude-hooks-absorption/` -- this ADR and briefs

## QUALITY GATES (Heavy)

- [ ] Gate 1 (ADR): Intent recorded in this brief
- [ ] Gate 2 (TDD): `uv run gz test` passes
- [ ] Gate 3 (Docs): Comparison rationale documented
- [ ] Gate 5 (Attestation): Human attestation required (Heavy lane)
