Assertion Results

# Assertion Source Result Evidence / Failure
1 Product goal delivered plan spec PASS QA test passed for For You shelf and search reranking.
2 All acceptance criteria met plan spec PASS QA confirms performance, product count, and A/B split.
3 All user journey steps implemented plan spec FAIL Add-to-Cart step and PDP were not built, rendering North Star metric immeasurable.
4 Followed coding-standards.md standards FAIL Unprotected JSON.parse and missing network request cancellation (AbortController).
5 Followed architecture-guide.md standards FAIL A/B testing salt exposed via NEXT_PUBLIC_, missing rate limiting on ingest-event.
6 All PostHog events implemented metric-plan FAIL add_to_cart event was completely missing from the implementation.
7 Sentry integrated standards FAIL No Sentry configuration or dependency added.
8 Tests written standards PASS QA testing was fully documented and executed.
9 Avoided fire-and-forget in API logic lessons FAIL Awaited PostHog flushes in the hot path caused severe >500ms API latency.
10 All queries bounded with .limit() lessons PASS Search reranking limited to 20, shelf limited to 12.
11 RLS enabled on all user tables lessons SKIP Used Neon DB (app-level isolation) instead of Supabase RLS.
12 Worker endpoints authenticated lessons PASS rebuild-affinity endpoint protected via CRON_SECRET.
13 AI responses sanitized before parsing lessons SKIP No AI models used; rule-based implementation.

Failure Pattern Analysis

Architecture failures (3):

  • Experiment salt exposed to the client bundle via NEXT_PUBLIC_ prefix, threatening A/B test integrity.
  • Telemetry flush() was awaited in the hot path of user-facing APIs, corrupting SLA adherence and experiment validity.
  • Sequential DB processing intended for AffinityBuilder, which would cause serverless timeouts at scale (caught in peer-review).

Implementation failures (3):

  • Missing AbortController network cancellation on search inputs, leading to race conditions.
  • Unprotected JSON.parse on sessionStorage creating medium-risk crashes.
  • Sentry integration entirely omitted.

Process failures (1):

  • A metric was defined ("Add-to-Cart") that had no corresponding UI requirement or build task mapped in the product specification.

Recurring failures (2 — appeared in prior issues):

  • Missing Telemetry events: add_to_cart was skipped. Missing telemetry was a key failure in issue-004 and issue-006.
  • Sequential Looping in Batch Jobs: The initial plan for rebuilding affinities used sequential loops processing, a known failure from issue-002 and issue-003 (flagged during PR).

Recommendations

Knowledge updates:

  • knowledge/engineering-lessons.md: Append rule enforcing that telemetry captures in user-facing hot paths must be fire-and-forget to avoid latency injection.
  • knowledge/ui-standards.md: Add a mandate that volatile storage (sessionStorage/localStorage) must use defensive try/catch wrappers.

Agent updates:

  • agents/backend-architect-agent.md: Update Pre-Approval Checklist to explicitly verify the integrity and UI availability of EVERY metric proposed in the metric-plan before finalizing architecture. Add explicit review of environment variable masking (e.g., salts).
  • agents/frontend-engineer-agent.md: Update instructions to strictly enforce AbortController usage on any async fetch calls triggered by user interactions.

Process updates:

  • commands/execute-plan.md: Enforce Sentry setup as a blocking requirement rather than deferring it.
