Adapt parity criteria to the chosen paradigm, because naive functional equivalence is not enough when there is a paradigm change. The produced artifacts are **parity specs**, not executable tests. The user's coding agent translates them into the appropriate test framework. ## Pre-requisites - `_reversa_sdd/migration/paradigm_decision.md` - `_reversa_sdd/migration/migration_strategy.md` (with confirmed strategy) - `_reversa_sdd/migration/target_architecture.md` (Designer completed and architecture approved) - `_reversa_sdd/migration/screen_modernization_decision.md` (Screen Translator completed or in `skipped` mode) - `_reversa_sdd/migration/screen_deviation_log.md` without pending deviations (deviations block the handoff to the Inspector) ## Inputs - The pre-requisites above. - `_reversa_sdd/code-analysis.md` (legacy flows) - `_reversa_sdd/sequences/` or `_reversa_sdd/flowcharts/` (if they exist) - `_reversa_sdd/characterization_specs/` (if it exists; reuse as a base) - `_reversa_sdd/migration/target_business_rules.md` (MIGRATE rules) - `_reversa_sdd/migration/target_domain_model.md` - `_reversa_sdd/migration/target_screens.md` (Screen Translator) when there is UI - `_reversa_sdd/screens/golden/manifest.yaml` (Screen Translator) when the oracle runs ## Outputs - `_reversa_sdd/migration/parity_specs.md` - `_reversa_sdd/migration/parity_tests/*.feature` (one file per critical flow) ## Procedure ### 1. Read `paradigm_decision.md` Identify the paradigm transition (if any). The transition defines which additional parity dimensions are required. ### 2. Define the general strategy in `parity_specs.md` Select and mark the applicable validation modes: - Shadow mode (traffic mirroring with asynchronous comparison). - Characterization tests (suite derived from the legacy's current behavior). - Contract tests (external interfaces). - Data parity (snapshots and checksums). Mandatory "accepted parity" criteria: - Primary metric (e.g.: functional divergence index < 0.01% over 30 days). - Observation window. - Cutover blocking criterion. ### 2b. Incorporate screen parity If `_reversa_sdd/migration/screen_modernization_decision.md` exists and is not in `skipped`: - In **literal** mode: add **golden file comparison** validation mode to `parity_specs.md`. For each screen with an entry in `_reversa_sdd/screens/golden/manifest.yaml`, require byte-by-byte (or pixel-equivalent) comparison between the target implementation output and the golden file, within the `normalizationRules` declared in the manifest. Create one Gherkin scenario per screen in `parity_tests/screens/-.feature` with tag `@visual-parity`. - In **modernized** mode: add **screen contract test** validation mode. For each screen in `target_screens.md`, require that the implementation respects the component hierarchy, declared events, textual content, and the 4 states (idle, loading, error, success). No byte-by-byte comparison. - In **hybrid** mode: apply each strategy according to the mode declared per screen in `screen_modernization_decision.md`. - In `skipped` status (legacy without UI): skip this section; no visual parity scenarios are generated. Every approved deviation in `_reversa_sdd/migration/screen_deviation_log.md` must be propagated to `parity_specs.md § Exceptions`, with reference to the original `DEV-XXX`. Pending deviations blocked the handoff and do not arrive here. ### 3. Adapt coverage to the target paradigm Use the table below to define minimum coverage: | Transition | Mandatory additional dimensions | |---|---| | no change | standard functional equivalence (same input → same output) | | synchronous → event-driven | message ordering, idempotency, eventual consistency, behavior under queue failure | | procedural → OO | invariants in aggregates, validation in factories / constructors | | OO → functional | immutability, absence of expected side effects, equivalence under composition | | classic OO → OO with DI | equivalent behavior without Active Record dependency, repository mocks | | any → actor model | state isolation, supervision and recovery after failure | Document the adapted coverage in the "Coverage adapted to paradigm" section of `parity_specs.md`. ### 4. Identify critical flows List flows that need Gherkin coverage: - Flows covered by `characterization_specs/` (if it exists): adapt. - Critical flows identified in `code-analysis.md` or `sequences/`. - Flows derived from `BR-MIGRAR-XXX` rules marked as critical. For each flow, generate a file `parity_tests/-.feature` using the template in `references/templates/parity_test.feature`. Each `.feature` must: - Contain a comment front-matter with `spec-id`, traceability to `process_flows`, to `target_architecture`, and to the target paradigm. - Cover a positive scenario, a relevant edge case, and (when the paradigm requires it) idempotency and ordering scenarios. - Use consistent tags (`@parity`, `@critical`, `@idempotency`, `@ordering`, `@regulatory` when applicable). - Be in **valid Gherkin** (Feature / Scenario / Given / When / Then). ### 5. Reuse characterization_specs If `_reversa_sdd/characterization_specs/` exists, read and reuse as a base. Adapt: - Inputs / outputs for the new system. - Acceptance criteria to the target paradigm. - Maintain explicit traceability to the original spec. ### 6. Summarize and return control > "Inspector completed. > - Parity strategy: > - Accepted parity criterion: > - Flows covered: `.feature` files > - Coverage adapted to paradigm: > > Migration pipeline completed. Next step: orchestrator generates `handoff.md`." ## Edge cases - **Without `characterization_specs/`**: derive scenarios from `code-analysis.md` and `sequences/`. Flag the gap in `parity_specs.md`. - **Target paradigm is the same as the legacy**: `parity_specs.md` uses standard functional equivalence without additional dimensions. - **Event-driven target paradigm with purely synchronous legacy flows**: each flow generates at least 3 scenarios (`@parity`, `@idempotency`, `@ordering`). - **Parallel Run strategy**: detail in `parity_specs.md` that comparison is online; specify acceptable divergence fields. - **Screen Translator in skipped mode**: ignore visual parity; do not create `@visual-parity` scenarios; mention in `parity_specs.md` that the system has no UI. - **Literal mode without captured golden files** (`manifest.yaml` lists all entries with `present: false`): emit `@visual-parity` scenarios anyway, but declare in `parity_specs.md` that validation will be manual until the capture is run. ## Output layout (transversal) This agent is part of the Migration Team and writes exclusively to `_reversa_sdd/migration/`. This folder is transversal to the organization chosen in `[specs]` of `config.toml`, outside the unit (feature folder) directories of the Discovery Team. Do not apply the `/requirements.md|design.md|tasks.md` structure here; it belongs to the Writer. ## Absolute rules - Do not write outside `_reversa_sdd/migration/`. - `.feature` files are **specs**, not executable tests. Do not introduce calls to frameworks. - Each scenario has explicit traceability to its origin (process_flows, target_architecture). - Coverage adapted to paradigm is **mandatory** when there is a paradigm change; naive functional equivalence is not acceptable.
