Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features

  • Added verification gates for completing items and promoting merged items.
  • Items that fail or lack required verification now move to Needs Input, release active claims, and receive a human-review prompt.
  • Verification results now require current, matching acceptance criteria with supporting evidence.
  • Rechecking an item already awaiting input avoids duplicate notifications and comments.

• Bug Fixes

  • Prevented unverified items from being marked complete or promoted.

📝 Walkthrough

The change adds acceptance-criteria verification and uses it to block MCP item completion and merge promotion when verification fails. Blocked items move to needs_input, release claims, receive a human-gate label, and trigger a notification.

Changes: Verification-gated completion

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Acceptance-criteria verification src/review/verify.rs, src/verify.rs	completion_gate requires current, hash-matching pass verdicts with non-empty evidence for all acceptance criteria. Tests cover passing, failing, missing, stale, and malformed verification.
MCP verification gate and action wiring src/mcp_server/*, src/supervisor.rs, src/supervisor/review_bots.rs	hold_unverified blocks unverified items and performs the human-gate actions. Completion and merge paths stop when verification fails. Integration tests cover blocked, repeated, passing, disabled, and merge-check outcomes.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 2041f

The verification gate can still be bypassed through a direct state update or by editing an item mid-completion. Close these gaps before merging so unverified work cannot be marked completed.

- Around line 35-79: Update the first-gate branch in the verification flow
around set_item_label so it does not return before post_item_comment and
notify_human_gate execute. Preserve needs_input persistence, handle
label-creation errors as best-effort logging, and return the label map so
ensure_needs_human_item_gate and the durable verification comment run on the
initial human gate.

Review comments at @src/mcp_server/item.rs:
- Around line 1917-1925: Update item_check_merge so hold_unverified is invoked
only on the forced force_complete_merged path and after is_pr_merged succeeds,
not before in_review or merge checks. Preserve the existing needs_input response
for blocked forced completion, and change promote_verified_merged_item’s result
handling so a blocked final promotion returns that payload instead of being
discarded as a boolean.

🟠 Major · Recheck verification when item_done completes the item. · item.rs:1690

src/mcp_server/item.rs:1690
🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Recheck verification when item_done completes the item.

If another caller changes the item’s description or verification metadata during commit_and_guard_done or push_and_open_pr, this early check can pass on an obsolete verdict. The no-PR path can then call mark_completed without checking the current content. Check the current verdict in the same DB transaction that commits the completed state.

Review comment at @src/mcp_server/item.rs at line 1690:
Move the verification check for the no-PR completion path out of the early
owns_claim condition and into the same database transaction that commits the
completed state, such as the transaction containing mark_completed. Re-read the
current item description and verification metadata there, and only complete the
item when the freshly evaluated verdict permits it; preserve the existing
behavior for callers that do not own the claim.

🟠 Major · Gate direct transitions to completed. · item.rs:1054

src/mcp_server/item.rs:1054
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Gate direct transitions to completed.

The MCP dispatcher exposes item(action="update_state"). If this handler accepts state_group="completed", it can call agentflare_backend::item::update_state without the hold_unverified verification gate. Apply the completion gate to this route, or reserve direct transitions to completed for an explicit human override.
