gpg_agent_leak debug log

2026-10-19T18:35:59Z – Step 2

Necessary/useful instructions

• RAILSPIKE.md "Planning Artifacts" and step2 Structure: gave a clear one-page template.

Redundant/unnecessary instructions

• No supported findings

Inapplicable instructions

• Step 2 "Known user or environment" is only loosely applicable (environment named only implicitly).

Uncertain assessments

• No supported findings

2026-10-19T18:37:36Z – Step 3

Necessary/useful instructions

• step3 Do: stage template and Key Risks placement kept the plan scannable.

Redundant/unnecessary instructions

• No supported findings

Inapplicable instructions

• Documentation-only and database-change guidance.

Uncertain assessments

• No supported findings

2026-10-19T18:59:39Z – Step 4

Necessary/useful instructions

• step4_implementation_do "Stage Boundary Protocol": per-stage verification forced a full-suite run in Stage 5. That run found that the real leak source (test helpers) was missing from the Step 2 inventory.

• step4_implementation_after item 7 ("Identify reproduced baseline failures"): led to checking the 6 failing tests against main instead of assuming they were pre-existing.

Redundant/unnecessary instructions

• No supported findings

Inapplicable instructions

• Deployment/migration/release checks (item 5): no deploy, schema, or config change.

Uncertain assessments

• Step 1 (manual-only repro stage) produced a commit containing only the summary; the commit-per-stage rule may be heavier than needed for a verification-only stage.

• Step 2 guidance does not prompt for test-code call sites when inventorying sources of a runtime bug; adding that may have avoided a mid-Step-4 scope discovery.
