| 2 | + |
| 3 | +**Status**: Validated |
| 4 | +**Date**: 2026-05-30 |
| 5 | +**Stakeholders**: ADF Development Team |
| 6 | +**Research Doc**: `.docs/adf/1887/research-mention-iteration.md` |
| 7 | +**Design Doc**: `.docs/adf/1887/design-mention-iteration.md` |
| 8 | +**Verification Report**: `.docs/adf/1887/verification-report.md` |

| 10 | +## Executive Summary |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +The mention-based flow re-iteration feature has been successfully implemented and validated. The system correctly: |
| 13 | +- Tracks iteration counts across flow runs |
| 14 | +- Supports checkpoint backward jumps via `loop_target` |
| 15 | +- Resolves `{{iterations.current}}` template variable in gate conditions |
| 16 | +- Integrates with the existing flow executor without regressions |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +## End-to-End Evidence |

| 54 | +### Execution Evidence |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +```bash |
| 57 | +$ ./target/release/adf-ctl --local flow test-reiteration |
| 58 | +Loading flow from: /home/alex/projects/terraphim/terraphim-ai/.terraphim/flows/test-reiteration.toml |
| 59 | +Flow 'test-reiteration' loaded: 5 step(s) |
| 60 | +Running flow 'test-reiteration'... |
| 61 | +Flow 'test-reiteration' finished: Paused |
| 62 | +``` |
| 63 | + |

| 98 | +| Gate supports < operator | Condition "0 < 2" evaluated correctly | PASS | |
| 99 | +| Re-iteration step executes | stdout: "Re-iteration 0: requesting re-review" | PASS | |
| 100 | +| Checkpoint sets loop target | next_step_index: 0 (points to setup) | PASS | |
