Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 14f35

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.

Consolidate the duplicated inventory assertions.

Six tests assert the same Frontend 0.3 counts and each one re-runs full artifact validation. test_released_contract_artifact_inventory_is_valid already covers every assertion made by test_frontend_03_final_inventory, test_frontend_03_request_schema_is_registered, test_frontend_03_predicate_and_open_range_inventory, test_frontend_03_inherits_released_cases_under_new_request_contract, and test_frontend_03_comment_and_varlist_case_inventory. A future count change requires six edits, and the test names promise behavior they do not check.

Keep the single inventory test, and use a session fixture for the shared validate_contract_artifacts(ROOT) result.

Align the failure message with the condition.

The message states that a failing binding case must set mutation_started to false. The condition also accepts mutation_started true when failure_point is after_data_and_metadata_before_audit. A maintainer reading the raised error will look for the wrong field.

470-475: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Make inherited-case version resolution independent of the literal "0.3".

_case_source_version applies the prefix rule only when version == "0.3", and it accepts only "0.1" and "0.2" as source versions. Two future states break it silently:

  • A Frontend 0.4 manifest that inherits older manifests. Its inherited cases keep their prefixes, but the function returns "0.4".
  • Transitive inheritance. _expand_frontend_cases line 447 produces nested IDs such as 0.2/0.1/<id>, and partition("/") then returns "0.2" for a case that originates in 0.1. That changes plan_version at line 558 and the default contract at line 562.

Neither state exists today, because the 0.2 manifest declares no inherited_manifests. Derive the source version from the leading prefixes against FRONTEND_MANIFESTS keys instead of hardcoding the current version.

resolve to their originating manifest version.

741-761: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Normalize whitespace before matching wrapped prose.

These gates match exact substrings against hard-wrapped Markdown. Several phrases pass only because the profile happens to keep them on one line. For example, docs/spss-syntax-frontend-profile-0.3.md line 158 ends after commit policy, and the required phrase stops at the same word. Any reflow of the paragraph breaks validation without any contract change.

Collapse runs of whitespace in both the document text and each phrase before the containment test.

The phrase loop at lines 748-761 then uses _flat(phrase) in frontend_03. The multi-line phrase at line 769 needs _flat applied to both sides as well, or a separate structural check.

722-733: 🩺 Stability & Availability | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Wrap release-document read failures as ArtifactValidationError.

validate_release_metadata() and the related release-document checks read Markdown directly. Missing, non-file, or undecodable documents can therefore raise OSError or UnicodeError, while the repository validator catches only controlled validation exceptions. Route all listed release-document reads through the same hardened helper used for JSON artifacts, and normalize whitespace before prose matching so formatting-only reflow does not break validation.

Define the remaining grammar nonterminals.

The block references comparison, finite-number, and existing-variable but does not define them. Line 54 also wraps the alternation in redundant nested parentheses, and it does not state whether a comma may separate list items. Add the missing productions, or state that they are inherited verbatim from Frontend 0.2.

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

- 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.

- 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.

Resolve audit source hashes from effective Frontend cases.

Line 660 accepts an inherited Frontend 0.2 case from frontend_plans["0.2"]. Lines 678-690 then search only declared cases in frontend_manifests["0.2"]["cases"]. A binding case with expected_audit cannot reference an inherited Frontend case, even though its resolved plan is accepted.

Require binding identity fields for successful cases.

The reference checks run only when both references are present, and the audit checks run only when fields are present. A successful case can omit one reference or the complete audit identity tuple and avoid validation. Require both references and all required audit fields for successful cases, reject partial references, and retain the existing no-mutation rule for failures.

Define predicate precedence and associativity.

The recursive AND and OR productions are ambiguous. For example, a = 1 OR b = 2 AND c = 3 can produce multiple parse trees and different plan hashes. Use precedence-level productions and add mixed-operator conformance cases.

2. Require `expected_error` to be either `null` or a non-empty string.
3. For successful cases, require a `plan` object, validate it against the manifest's schema, calculate `sha256(canonical_json_bytes(plan))`, and require exact lowercase `expected_plan_hash` equality.
4. For `plan_schema_invalid` cases, require a plan object that fails the selected Plan schema, with `expected_plan_hash` absent or `null`.
5. For semantic failures, require a plan object that passes the selected Plan schema, retain its non-empty `expected_error`, and omit only the success hash.
6. Require the plan's `contract` to match the manifest contract for successful plan objects; a schema-invalid negative may fail this contract constraint as part of its selected-schema failure.

Require a diagnostic for every negative case.

Line 364 allows expected_error to be null, but Line 366 does not require a non-empty diagnostic for plan_schema_invalid cases. Such a case could pass without a stable failure code. Require a non-empty expected_error for every negative case and reserve null for successful cases.

4. Resolve a successful or `plan_schema_invalid` expected plan from exactly one of `expected_plan`, `expected_plan_0_1`, `expected_plan_case`, or `expected_plan_case_0_1`.
5. Resolve `expected_plan_case` against the declared Plan manifest and `expected_plan_case_0_1` against Frontend 0.1's resolved expected plans.
6. Validate the resolved plan against the schema selected by its exact `contract`, recompute its canonical hash, and require equality with `expected_plan_hash`.
7. Require semantic frontend failures to omit expected plan objects, references, and hashes. A Frontend `plan_schema_invalid` case instead includes the invalid expected plan, selects a recognized Plan contract, validates the request structurally, and omits or nulls `expected_plan_hash`.

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.

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.
