/** * `dz qe-bridge` — the pure half of the reverse QE bridge (feature qe-bridge-claude, ADR-001). * * WHY THIS EXISTS. The cross-family QE rule ("the model that writes code must not self-review") is * enforceable today in exactly one direction: a Claude driver dispatches `codex exec` to review * Claude work. When CODEX hosts the run there is no vehicle for the mandatory Claude review — * `buildReqeBrief` literally returns `codexCmdTemplate: null` for the claude branch * (`reqe.ts:165-171`). This module turns the raw `claude -p` primitive into a Step-8-shaped review * with a PARSEABLE signoff that the existing `dz reqe --done` settles unchanged. * * THE DOCTRINE, in three rules, each of which has scar tissue behind it: * * 1. PARSE-NEVER-SYNTHESIZE. Empty, gradeless, marker-less or JSON-less output is a FAILED call * with a NAMED reason — never a clean review, never a synthesized `findings: []`. The deleted * `{grade:'codex-review', gaps:[]}` stub is the canonical bug this rule exists to prevent. * 2. LAST-ANCHORED, MULTI-CHANNEL AGREEMENT. Content under review flows INTO the prompt and comes * back quoted, so an earlier planted verdict must lose to the genuine terminal one (the G-F1 * marker-injection lesson, `feature-adr-routing.ts:1522-1526`). Three channels — the LAST marker * line, the LAST fenced signoff block, and `extractReportGrade` over the report body — must all * EXIST and AGREE. This is not only an injection defence: MEASURED at T0 on this machine, * `claude -p` prints a session-start hook banner on stdout BEFORE the answer, so first-match * parsing reads host noise even with no adversary in the picture. * 3. INGRESS DEFANG. Repo content is untrusted with respect to the verdict grammar: every extract * is neutralised before embedding, so quoted content can never mint a verdict. * * IMPURE PLUMBING (spawn, timeouts, file writes) lives in `harness-cli`'s `cmdQeBridge`; everything * here is pure and directly testable. * * DELIBERATELY NOT UNIFIED with `parseCodexGrade` (`feature-adr-routing.ts:1343-1347`, first-match, * A–D): that parser answers a different threat model. The divergence is named in ADR-001 and is a * candidate later refactor, not a blocker. */ import { extractReportGrade } from './reqe.js'; export const QE_BRIDGE_SCHEMA = 'qe-bridge-signoff-1'; export const QE_BRIDGE_FAILURE_SCHEMA = 'qe-bridge-failure-1'; /** * Loud refusal ceiling for the assembled prompt.
