doc-ptest-autopilot

Purpose

Automate PTEST lifecycle for subtype-specific workflows:

• generate PTEST from upstream context,
• validate and audit outputs,
• hand off to fixer when required.

---

Input Contract (IPLAN-004 Standard)

• Supported modes:
  • --ref <path>
  • --prompt "<text>"
  • --iplan <path|IPLAN-NNN>
• Precedence: --iplan > --ref > --prompt
• IPLAN resolution order:
  1. Use explicit file path when it exists
  2. Resolve work_plans/IPLAN-NNN*.md
  3. Resolve governance/plans/IPLAN-NNN*.md
  4. If multiple matches exist, fail with disambiguation request
• Merge conflict rule:
  • Objective/scope conflicts between primary and supplemental sources are blocking and require user clarification.

---

Execution Modes

Generate/Find Mode

Input:

• PTEST-NN (self type): review existing
• SYS-NN or SPEC-NN: generate if missing, else review existing PTEST-NN

Audit/Fix Mode

• Run doc-ptest-audit
• If fail or below threshold, run doc-ptest-fixer
• Re-run audit until pass or max iteration reached

---

Orchestration Flow

1) Resolve target PTEST document
2) Generate or load PTEST
3) Run doc-ptest-audit
4) If needed, run doc-ptest-fixer
5) Re-audit
6) Emit status and next-step recommendation

---

Naming and Contract Rules

• Primary audit output: PTEST-NN.A_audit_report_vNNN.md
• Legacy-compatible review output: PTEST-NN.R_review_report_vNNN.md
• Fix report: PTEST-NN.F_fix_report_vNNN.md

All reports are stored beside parent PTEST in nested folder.

---

Document Type Contract (MANDATORY)

When generating PTEST document instances, the autopilot MUST:

1. Read instance_document_type from template:

   • Source: ai_dev_ssd_flow/10_TSPEC/PTEST/PTEST-MVP-TEMPLATE.yaml
   • Field: metadata.instance_document_type: "ptest-document"

2. Set document_type in generated document frontmatter:

   custom_fields:
     document_type: ptest-document    # NOT "template"
     artifact_type: PTEST
     layer: 10
     test_type_code: 44
   

3. Validation: Generated documents MUST have document_type: ptest-document

   • Templates have document_type: template
   • Instances have document_type: ptest-document
   • Schema validates both values

Error Handling: If instance_document_type is missing from template, default to ptest-document.

Coexistence Rules with doc-tspec-autopilot

Use doc-ptest-autopilot when PTEST-only scope is required.
Route to doc-tspec-autopilot when cross-subtype orchestration is required.

Fallback:

• If unresolved subtype blockers persist, escalate to doc-tspec-autopilot while preserving report compatibility (.A_ preferred, .R_ legacy).

Quality Gate

Pass when:

• PTEST structure matches 6-section contract,
• required tags are complete,
• performance categories and thresholds are represented,
• audit status is PASS and score meets configured threshold.
