Alloy: Quench Ticket 2 checkpointed — blocked on missing Charge acceptance-criteria authoring

Built the full criterion-verification plumbing for Quench Ticket 2 (schema, event type, action, query, conditional UI) — then, before continuing the Quench redesign, discovered zero Arcs have any acceptance criteria to verify because Charge has no authoring surface. Stopped and checkpointed honestly rather than continue building on top of an unusable dependency.

Timeline

  1. Start

    Resumed Quench Ticket 2 of 6 per prior retro's nextItems

    criterion_verified event type + per-criterion recordVerification upgrade

  2. +30m

    Schema, action, query, and UI plumbing built

    arcEventTypeEnum gets criterion_verified; recordCriterionVerification action; getCriterionVerifications query; ArcQuenchPanel renders one row per criterion when criteria exist

  3. +45m

    tsc + full test suite verified clean

    339/341 passing, 2 pre-existing unrelated ChargeContractPanel failures

  4. +50m

    Dev server rebuilt fresh, confirmed live behavior

    Quench page correctly falls back to legacy Pass/Partial/Fail form — no Arc has criteria

  5. +55m

    Direct DB query: 0 Arcs have chargeAcceptanceCriteria, 0 criterion_verified events ever written

    Real upstream dependency named: Quench cannot be exercised until Charge can author structured criteria

  6. End

    Zeb ruling: pause Quench, checkpoint this Arc honestly, scope Charge authoring as a separate bootstrap Arc on the same Workpiece

    This session JSON is that checkpoint

What shipped

  • products/alloy/lib/db/schema.ts — criterion_verified value added to arcEventTypeEnum (live DB enum, pg_enum-verified); AcceptanceCriterion interface exported; chargeAcceptanceCriteria column typed as .$type<AcceptanceCriterion[]>()

  • products/alloy/lib/db/queries.ts — CRITERION_VERIFICATION_STATUSES/CriterionVerificationStatus, CriterionVerificationPayload type, getCriterionVerifications (Map of criterionId -> latest status, same 'most recent event wins' precedent as getLatestVerification)

  • products/alloy/lib/actions.ts — recordCriterionVerification server action: targets one specific criterionId, validates status against the real enum, requires rationale for not_applicable/exception_accepted and authority for exception_accepted, append-only event write

  • products/alloy/app/quench/page.tsx — fetches getCriterionVerifications, converts the server-only Map to a plain array before crossing into the 'use client' ArcQuenchPanel

  • products/alloy/components/ArcQuenchPanel.tsx — new CriterionRow component (one row per criterion: statement, blocking badge, status badge, evidence/rationale/authority display, re-verify toggle); Verification card now branches — renders the new matrix when arc.chargeAcceptanceCriteria has entries, otherwise falls back to the original single-verdict Pass/Partial/Fail form (this fallback is the ONLY path currently reachable in the real product)

“Continuing the Quench redesign now would be building the scoreboard before the game can define what counts as a point.”
