Alignment confirmed with the doctrine.
Evaluated 30 April 2026 against the AI Design Blueprint doctrine · focus: code-review agent governance for software engineering workflows
Aligned
Status: Aligned
4/4
aligned of applicable principles · 100%
Classification: autonomous agentic workflow. The code runs a multi-step PR triage process, invokes an AI review step, gates mutations through approval logic, persists checkpoints, and handles paused, aborted, failed, and completed terminal states. Across the listed principles, the design is aligned: background progress is checkpointed and auditable, operational state is user-meaningful, the review and decision trail is inspectable, and approvals/blockers are explicit rather than silent.
Per-principle findings
4 principles evaluated. Verdict, severity, evidence and recommendation for each.
P0
Ensure that background work remains perceptible
The submitted code is an autonomous agentic workflow: `run()` iterates over `PULL_REQUESTS`, builds an `ExecutionPlan`, calls model review via `review_pr(...)`, gates actions through `approval_gate(...)`, and may mutate external PR state via paths such as `post_comment`, `apply_fix`, and `merge_pr`. For background perceptibility, it persists user-relevant run and PR state through `TriageState.run_status`, `state.event_log`, per-PR `rec.events`, and `save_checkpoint(...)` using a temp file plus `os.replace(...)`. It also records transitions such as `WORKFLOW_STARTED`, `PLAN_PUBLISHED`, `WORKFLOW_PAUSED`, `WORKFLOW_TERMINATED_PAUSED`, `WORKFLOW_TERMINATED_ABORTED`, and `WORKFLOW_FAILED`. `_pro…
P0
Expose meaningful operational state, not internal complexity
The code exposes meaningful operational state through explicit enums and events rather than relying on incidental control flow. `RunStatus` distinguishes `RUNNING`, `AWAITING_APPROVAL`, `ABORTED`, `FAILED`, and `COMPLETED`; `run()` sets a single terminal value based on `terminal` and logs mutually exclusive terminal events. Per-PR statuses such as `REVIEWING`, `BLOCKED_INVALID_OUTPUT`, `BLOCKED_HIGH_RISK`, `AWAITING_APPROVAL`, `ABORTED`, `FAILED`, `SKIPPED`, and `REJECTED` are used to communicate user-relevant states. The paused terminal message tells the operator the run is awaiting approval and how to resume with `PR_AGENT_APPROVAL_<PR_ID>`.
P0
Establish trust through inspectability
The audit serialization in `_serialize_state(...)` provides strong inspectability: it records `run_id`, `run_status`, timestamp, `hash_algorithm`, `review_model`, `plan`, PR metadata, `diff_hash`, exact `model`, exact `prompt`, `actions_taken`, `rollback_token`, structured review fields, `raw_response`, `parse_ok`, per-record events, and run-level `event_log`. Terminal events are logged before `save_audit(state, run_id)`, and `state.run_status` is set before persistence, so completed, paused, aborted, and failed outcomes are represented in the persisted audit trail.
P0
Make hand-offs, approvals, and blockers explicit
Approval hand-offs and blockers are explicit. `approval_gate(...)` logs `APPROVAL_REQUESTED`; when no approval variable is present it sets `record.status = PRStatus.AWAITING_APPROVAL`, sets `state.run_status = RunStatus.AWAITING_APPROVAL`, logs `WORKFLOW_PAUSED` with the checked variables, checkpoints, and raises `WorkflowPaused`. `run()` converts this into `WORKFLOW_TERMINATED_PAUSED` with a specific operator instruction to supply `PR_AGENT_APPROVAL_<PR_ID>` and relaunch. Other blocker paths are distinct: invalid model output becomes `BLOCKED_INVALID_OUTPUT` and is rejected with `APPROVAL_REJECTED`; high-risk PRs become `BLOCKED_HIGH_RISK`; operator abort logs `APPROVAL_ABORT`, marks `PR_AB…
