gz obpi pipeline

Launch the OBPI pipeline runtime surface for one OBPI.

Usage

Bash
gz obpi pipeline <OBPI-ID> [--from {verify,ceremony,sync}] [--attestor NAME]
                           [--evidence-json JSON] [--clear-stale] [--no-subagents]

<OBPI-ID> accepts the full canonical identifier or the same identifier without the OBPI- prefix.

Options

Option Description
--from {verify,ceremony,sync} Resume the pipeline from the named stage (default: full launch)
--attestor NAME Attestor identity for Stage 5 (e.g. jeff or human:Jeffry); used by ceremony and sync stages when relaying the human attestation
--evidence-json JSON Inline evidence payload merged into the Stage 5 receipt (value_narrative, key_proof, attestation fields, etc.)
--clear-stale Remove pipeline markers older than 4 hours before launching (recovery path for crashed sessions)
--no-subagents Disable subagent dispatch and run every stage in-process (single-session fallback for environments that cannot spawn subagents)

Runtime Behavior

gz obpi pipeline is the canonical CLI launch surface for the governance pipeline. The gz-obpi-pipeline skill remains available as a thin alias for agent UX, but it must not redefine stage sequencing or closeout semantics.

src/gzkit/pipeline_runtime.py is the shared runtime engine behind the CLI and the generated Claude pipeline hooks.

Current command contract:

  • full launch creates the active pipeline markers, reads the plan-audit receipt when present, and prints the implementation handoff with the follow-up --from=verify command
  • --from=verify reruns Stage 1, executes verification commands from the OBPI brief, adds Heavy-lane docs/BDD checks, clears active markers on success, and prints the follow-up --from=ceremony command
  • --from=ceremony reruns Stage 1, prints the ceremony/accounting checklist, requires explicit human attestation for heavy-lane completion paths (any kind) and for foundation-kind completion paths (any lane), and clears active markers on exit

The active marker files are also the machine-readable stage-state contract while the pipeline is running. They are runtime-managed and should not be edited or cleared manually:

  • .claude/plans/.pipeline-active-<OBPI-ID>.json
  • .claude/plans/.pipeline-active.json

Those marker payloads now persist:

  • obpi_id
  • parent_adr
  • lane
  • entry
  • execution_mode
  • current_stage
  • started_at
  • updated_at
  • receipt_state
  • blockers
  • required_human_action
  • next_command
  • resume_point

blockers is a list of active stage blockers. required_human_action is either null or a concise summary of the current required human action. Lite-lane ceremony state keeps this field null because human attestation is optional there. next_command is either null or the next canonical operator command. resume_point is either null or the stage label the operator should resume from.

The marker payload is active-state only. It is not authoritative completion history.

Claude hook surfaces and generated control surfaces should point operators back to this command contract instead of re-explaining the stage engine in prose.

Failure Modes

The command exits non-zero and prints BLOCKERS: when:

  • the OBPI brief cannot be resolved
  • the OBPI brief is already completed
  • the OBPI brief fails authored-readiness validation (including scaffold placeholders) before execution
  • the parent ADR evaluation scorecard has a NO GO verdict (detected by check_adr_evaluation_verdict)
  • the matching plan-audit receipt verdict is FAIL
  • another OBPI is already active in the pipeline markers
  • any verification command fails in --from=verify

Missing or unreadable plan-audit receipts are warnings, not blockers. Missing evaluation scorecards are not blockers (evaluation is advisory until run).

Examples

Bash
uv run gz obpi pipeline OBPI-0.13.0-01-runtime-command-contract
Text Only
OBPI pipeline: OBPI-0.13.0-01-runtime-command-contract
  Parent ADR: ADR-0.13.0-obpi-pipeline-runtime-surface
  Brief: docs/design/adr/pre-release/ADR-0.13.0-obpi-pipeline-runtime-surface/obpis/OBPI-0.13.0-01-runtime-command-contract.md
  Lane: heavy
  Entry: full
  Receipt: MISSING
  Stages: 1. Load Context -> 2. Implement -> 3. Verify -> 4. Present Evidence -> 5. Sync And Account
  Marker: .claude/plans/.pipeline-active-OBPI-0.13.0-01-runtime-command-contract.json
  Legacy Marker: .claude/plans/.pipeline-active.json
  Warning: plan-audit receipt is missing; proceeding with an explicit gap

Next:
- Implement the approved OBPI within the brief allowlist.
- When implementation is ready, run: uv run gz obpi pipeline OBPI-0.13.0-01-runtime-command-contract --from=verify
- Keep the active pipeline markers in place during implementation.
Bash
uv run gz obpi pipeline OBPI-0.13.0-01-runtime-command-contract --from=verify
uv run gz obpi pipeline 0.13.0-01-runtime-command-contract --from=ceremony
