Define SPSS syntax frontend 0.3 - #19
Conversation
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe change publishes the SPSS Syntax Frontend 0.3 schema, profile, manifest, examples, and roadmap. It adds secure validation for contract artifacts, inheritance, hashes, references, release metadata, and binding consistency. CI now runs the expanded test suite. ChangesSPSS Syntax Frontend 0.3
Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The PR adds the SPSS frontend 0.3 contract and repository validation, but the current implementation and specification still permit ambiguous predicate hashes, incomplete failure diagnostics, contradictory invalid-plan handling, missing binding identity checks, and incomplete audit resolution. These issues can cause accepted artifacts or validation results to differ from the published contract, so the PR is not merge-ready until they are fixed or explicitly accepted. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 4 | ❌ 1❌ Failed checks (1 warning)

"0.4".- Transitive inheritance.

In `@docs/spss-frontend-roadmap.md`:
- Around line 37-40: Update the roadmap completion markers so the validation
task duplicating the completed specification scope is checked off, and revise
the Frontend 0.3 scope at the specification-complete entry to present tense. If
any work remains, separate it into an explicitly pending item rather than
leaving completed scope marked as future work.
In `@docs/superpowers/plans/2026-08-21-spss-frontend-03.md`:
- Around line 394-403: Update _resolve_frontend_plans to accept the caller’s
fourth frontend_effective_cases mapping argument, preserving the existing root,
manifests, and plan_cases parameters and return contract. Document and implement
resolution of namespaced inherited case IDs using that effective-case mapping so
inherited Frontend 0.3 cases resolve correctly.
- Around line 386-392: Update the negative-case validation requirements so
request-schema failures and plan-schema failures use separate shapes. For
plan_schema_invalid cases, require request_schema validation to succeed while
validating the emitted plan as invalid; for other request-failure cases, require
request_schema validation to fail. Permit the plan-schema-invalid fixture to
include the expected plan data needed for validation, while continuing to
require other failing cases to omit expected plan objects, references, and
hashes.
In `@docs/superpowers/specs/2026-08-21-spss-frontend-expansion-design.md`:
- Around line 66-68: Clarify the manifest inheritance rule so inherited
artifacts remain identical unless their ID is listed in superseded_cases. Define
the superseded-case replacement contract, specifying which fields may change
while preserving all other inherited fields and behavior.
In `@examples/spss-syntax-transformation-0.3.md`:
- Around line 28-31: Correct the plan-subset description in the example so
FORMATS is not listed as part of Plan 0.1; state that the program emits Plan 0.2
because it contains both the set_format operation and a lowered predicate.
In `@README.md`:
- Around line 75-86: Update the README release-status wording in the section
covering Transformation Plan Profile 0.2 so it reflects the profiles released in
v0.3.0, removing the stale “release-candidate” designation. Identify Frontend
0.3 separately as the release candidate, while preserving the existing
references to the 0.2 documentation and schemas.

Separate plan_schema_invalid validation from successful plan resolution.
Line 390 permits a schema-invalid case to resolve a referenced plan, while Lines 411-413 require one inline invalid plan. Line 392 also requires a matching hash, while Line 393 requires the hash to be absent or null. Define separate branches: successful cases may use inline or referenced plans and must verify hashes; plan_schema_invalid cases must use exactly one inline plan, verify schema failure, and omit or null expected_plan_hash.

schema validation fails, and require expected_plan_hash to be omitted or null.

Keep the README release policy consistent.
Line 9 says release identifiers belong in tagged releases and capability declarations, but Lines 40-44 now publish v0.3.0 in README.md. Update Line 9 to allow a release-status summary, or remove the version-specific wording from Lines 40-44.
