Workflow — Technical debt review

This page is rendered from model/**/*.yaml by tools/docs_model during mkdocs build. Edit the YAML, not this page; hand-written design lives on the linked service, platform and plane pages.

Status target

Collects reviewer comments and analyzer results of a pipeline run, classifies the shortcuts as debt with owners and severity, and raises them as findings.

Authored design, Draft (D54, D57)

These definitions were authored on 2026-10-14 from the coordinator cards as design assumptions. None is published, evaluated or has run; agents are named by id as design bindings, not as tested integrations.

Steps

# Step Kind Runs Gate Class Depends on Retry Timeout Compensation What it does
1 Collect the signals
collect-signals		 agent code-reviewer none read — exponential ×2 PT30M — Gathers analyzer results and review comments that name shortcuts or deferred work.
2 Classify the debt
classify-debt		 agent tech-lead none read collect-signals exponential ×2 PT30M — Category, severity, owner and suggested remedy per item.
3 Raise the findings
raise-findings		 agent tech-lead none sandbox classify-debt exponential ×2 PT30M — Records the items as findings with evidence through AuditService.

Gates and approvals

No approval is required: every step runs in the read or sandbox class; the agents' own tool calls still carry their classes (D21). Compensation steps run in reverse order of the succeeded steps on failure after the last checkpoint; a step without a compensation leaves its sandbox output in place and the run ends Failed with the evidence (ADR-0014, recovery not replay).
