# v3.0 Memory and Hardening — Milestone Audit

**Milestone:** v3.0
**Audited:** 2026-03-21
**Status:** tech_debt (no blockers, 5 minor items)

## Requirements Coverage

**Score:** 42/42 requirements satisfied

All requirements across 7 categories are `[x]` complete in REQUIREMENTS.md, verified in per-phase VERIFICATION.md files, and confirmed by integration checker:

| Category | Requirements | Status |
|----------|-------------|--------|
| Architecture Remediation | ARCH-01 through ARCH-10 (10) | All satisfied |
| Tech Debt | DEBT-01 through DEBT-08 (8) | All satisfied |
| Session Recall | RECL-01 through RECL-05 (5) | All satisfied |
| Polaris Layer | POLR-01 through POLR-04 (4) | All satisfied |
| Contradiction Detection | CNTR-01 through CNTR-06 (6) | All satisfied |
| Ingestion Pipeline | INGP-01 through INGP-06 (6) | All satisfied |
| Methodology Guidance | METH-01 through METH-03 (3) | All satisfied |

## Phase Verification Summary

| Phase | Name | Status | Score |
|-------|------|--------|-------|
| 15 | Event Model Hardening | passed | 8/8 |
| 16 | Plugin Bridge and Action Executor | passed* | 7/8 (gap resolved) |
| 17 | Registry Decomposition and Plugin Runtime | passed | 7/7 |
| 18 | Architecture Cleanup | passed | 6/6 |
| 19 | Methodology Guidance and Polaris | passed | 7/7 |
| 20 | Session Recall | passed | 5/5 |
| 21 | Contradiction Detection | passed | 9/9 |
| 22 | Ingestion Pipeline | passed | 8/8 |

*Phase 16 VERIFICATION.md shows `gaps_found` due to a stale REQUIREMENTS.md checkbox — DEBT-04 was marked complete in a subsequent commit.

## Cross-Phase Integration

**Score:** 42/42 requirement integration paths verified

All 73 cross-phase exports are properly consumed. No orphaned exports. No broken E2E flows.

### E2E Flows Verified

1. **Reliable event delivery** (ARCH-01/02/03) — drain on shutdown + startup recovery
2. **Controller pre-action hooks** (ARCH-06) — all 17 controllers use `_run_action`
3. **Polaris layer** (POLR-01 through POLR-04) — init → MCP → context assembly → check_alignment
4. **Session recall** (RECL-01 through RECL-05) — RecallService → controller → actions → MCP resource
5. **Contradiction detection** (CNTR-01 through CNTR-06) — find → score → confirm → graph edges → MCP resource
6. **Media ingestion** (INGP-01 through INGP-06) — TranscriptionService → IngestService → captured reference → source bundle

## Tech Debt

**5 items across 3 categories (none blocking):**

### Functional (1 item)
- **IngestService missing post_action dispatch** — `_ingest_normalized` does not call `_dispatch_post_action_event`. Plugin hooks listening to `ingest_*` completion receive no callback. Fix: add dispatch before return in `_ingest_normalized` and add `ingest.py` to `test_post_action_dispatch.py` scan list.

### Test (1 item)
- **Pre-existing verbose telemetry test failure** — `test_verbose_json_includes_telemetry_in_meta` fails due to git subprocess error in temp vault. Pre-existing since v1.1, not introduced by v3.0.

### Cosmetic (3 items)
- ContradictionController.confirm_contradiction has stale stub docstring
- commands/generator.py line 196 has stale comment referencing `_register_core_actions`
- Phase 16 VERIFICATION.md status shows `gaps_found` but gap was resolved

## Test Suite

**2054 tests passed, 1 pre-existing failure, 2 skipped**
- mypy strict: 0 issues across 122+ source files
- ruff: all checks passed, all files formatted
