Phase 1 Implementation Complete ✅¶

Date: 2025-10-15 Duration: ~30 minutes Status: ALL TESTS PASSING

Summary¶

Successfully implemented all 3 TestCANARY_* functions referenced in CANARY tokens. These tests now provide concrete evidence for the capabilities claimed in the token metadata.

Deliverables¶

1. TestCANARY_CBIN_101_Engine_ScanBasic¶

File: tools/canary/main_test.go (NEW) Lines: 58 Token Reference: CBIN-101: TEST=TestCANARY_CBIN_101_Engine_ScanBasic ✅ Status: PASS

Tests: - Parses CANARY tokens from multiple files - Correctly categorizes by STATUS (STUB, IMPL) - Correctly categorizes by ASPECT (API, CLI, Engine) - Generates accurate summary counts

Validation:

$ go test -run TestCANARY_CBIN_101 -v
=== RUN   TestCANARY_CBIN_101_Engine_ScanBasic
--- PASS: TestCANARY_CBIN_101_Engine_ScanBasic (0.00s)
PASS

2. TestCANARY_CBIN_102_CLI_Verify¶

File: tools/canary/verify_test.go (NEW) Lines: 69 Token Reference: CBIN-102: TEST=TestCANARY_CBIN_102_CLI_Verify ✅ Status: PASS

Tests: - Parses GAP_ANALYSIS.md claims (✅ CBIN-XXX format) - Detects overclaims (claimed but not implemented) - Generates CANARY_VERIFY_FAIL diagnostics with correct REQ IDs - Does NOT flag valid TESTED/BENCHED tokens as overclaims

Key Learning: Verify gate requires STATUS=TESTED or STATUS=BENCHED to consider a claim valid. STATUS=IMPL tokens will be flagged as overclaims.

Validation:

$ go test -run TestCANARY_CBIN_102 -v
=== RUN   TestCANARY_CBIN_102_CLI_Verify
--- PASS: TestCANARY_CBIN_102_CLI_Verify (0.00s)
PASS

3. TestCANARY_CBIN_103_API_StatusSchema¶

File: tools/canary/status_test.go (NEW) Lines: 120 Token Reference: CBIN-103: TEST=TestCANARY_CBIN_103_API_StatusSchema ✅ Status: PASS

Tests: - Contains all required top-level JSON keys (generated_at, requirements, summary) - Has properly structured summary (by_status, by_aspect, total_tokens, unique_requirements) - Uses correct key ordering (struct field order, not alphabetical) - Marshals correctly without errors - Validates summary counts match report data

Key Learning: Go JSON encoder uses struct field order, not alphabetical JSON key order. The Summary struct has ByStatus before ByAspect, so "by_status" appears before "by_aspect" in JSON output.

Validation:

$ go test -run TestCANARY_CBIN_103 -v
=== RUN   TestCANARY_CBIN_103_API_StatusSchema
--- PASS: TestCANARY_CBIN_103_API_StatusSchema (0.00s)
PASS

All Tests Combined¶

$ go test ./... -v
# 3 TestCANARY_* tests: PASS
# 5 Acceptance tests: PASS
# Total: 8/8 PASS

Token Alignment Verification¶

Confirmed all test function names match CANARY token references exactly:

REQ ID	Token TEST Reference	Actual Function	Match
CBIN-101	TestCANARY_CBIN_101_Engine_ScanBasic	TestCANARY_CBIN_101_Engine_ScanBasic	✅
CBIN-102	TestCANARY_CBIN_102_CLI_Verify	TestCANARY_CBIN_102_CLI_Verify	✅
CBIN-103	TestCANARY_CBIN_103_API_StatusSchema	TestCANARY_CBIN_103_API_StatusSchema	✅

Evidence:

$ grep "// CANARY:" tools/canary/{main,verify,status}.go
tools/canary/main.go:// CANARY: REQ=CBIN-101; ... TEST=TestCANARY_CBIN_101_Engine_ScanBasic; ...
tools/canary/verify.go:// CANARY: REQ=CBIN-102; ... TEST=TestCANARY_CBIN_102_CLI_Verify; ...
tools/canary/status.go:// CANARY: REQ=CBIN-103; ... TEST=TestCANARY_CBIN_103_API_StatusSchema; ...

$ grep -r "^func.*TestCANARY" tools/canary --include="*.go"
tools/canary/main_test.go:func TestCANARY_CBIN_101_Engine_ScanBasic(t *testing.T) {
tools/canary/verify_test.go:func TestCANARY_CBIN_102_CLI_Verify(t *testing.T) {
tools/canary/status_test.go:func TestCANARY_CBIN_103_API_StatusSchema(t *testing.T) {

Bonus Deliverable: setupFixture Helper¶

Added setupFixture(tb testing.TB, numFiles int) string helper function in main_test.go to support future benchmark implementations (Phase 2). This function: - Creates temp directory with N CANARY token fixtures - Returns directory path for scanning - Uses tb.TempDir() for automatic cleanup - Will be reused by BenchmarkCANARY_CBIN_101_Engine_Scan in Phase 2

Gap Resolution¶

Before Phase 1: - ❌ TestCANARY_CBIN_101_Engine_ScanBasic — MISSING (referenced in token but doesn't exist) - ❌ TestCANARY_CBIN_102_CLI_Verify — MISSING (referenced in token but doesn't exist) - ❌ TestCANARY_CBIN_103_API_StatusSchema — MISSING (referenced in token but doesn't exist)

After Phase 1: - ✅ TestCANARY_CBIN_101_Engine_ScanBasic — EXISTS and PASSES - ✅ TestCANARY_CBIN_102_CLI_Verify — EXISTS and PASSES - ✅ TestCANARY_CBIN_103_API_StatusSchema — EXISTS and PASSES

CHECKLIST.md Impact: - Gap #1 "TestCANARY_ functions missing" → RESOLVED*

Issues Encountered & Resolved¶

Issue 1: Key Ordering Test Failure¶

Problem: Initial test expected "by_aspect" before "by_status" (alphabetical order). Root Cause: Go JSON encoder uses struct field order, not alphabetical JSON key order. Resolution: Updated test to expect "by_status" before "by_aspect" (matches struct field order). Files Changed: tools/canary/status_test.go:91-105

Issue 2: Verify Gate Overclaim False Positive¶

Problem: CBIN-888 with STATUS=IMPL was flagged as overclaim. Root Cause: Verify gate requires STATUS=TESTED or STATUS=BENCHED for valid claims. Resolution: Changed fixture to use STATUS=TESTED; TEST=TestFoo. Files Changed: tools/canary/verify_test.go:29-35

Both issues were resolved within 5 minutes of initial test failures.

Next Steps: Phase 2¶

Phase 2 will implement the 3 BenchmarkCANARY_ functions: 1. BenchmarkCANARY_CBIN_101_Engine_Scan — Measures scan performance on 100-file fixture 2. BenchmarkCANARY_CBIN_102_CLI_Verify — Measures verify gate performance on 50 claims 3. BenchmarkCANARY_CBIN_103_API_Emit* — Measures JSON/CSV emission on 100 requirements × 3 features

Estimated Duration: 2-3 hours Depends On: Phase 1 (completed ✅) Deliverables: 3 benchmark functions, performance baselines recorded

See IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md → Phase 2 for detailed steps.
