Your objective is to process Critical SecondEye findings and clear the build gate.
Before proceeding, verify that `.cocoplus/` exists.
If not: output "CocoPlus not initialized in this directory. Run `$pod init` to begin." Then stop.
## Parse Arguments
- `--hitl-only`: acknowledge only HITL-classified findings. MINOR/AFK findings are queued for autonomous resolution in the next `$build` pass.
- `--blocking-only`: acknowledge only BLOCKING-classified findings, leaving MINOR findings for autonomous resolution.
- No flag: present all Critical findings for acknowledgment (existing behavior).
## Find Unacknowledged Reports
Scan `.cocoplus/lifecycle/` for files matching `secondeye-*.md`.
Read YAML frontmatter of each file.
Find files with `critical_open: true` AND `acknowledged: false`.
If none found:
Output: "No unacknowledged Critical SecondEye findings. $build is not gated." Then stop.
## Present Findings Based on Mode
**No flag (default):** Present all Critical findings one at a time. For each:
"Acknowledge finding [SE-NNN]: [title] [[HITL/AFK]] [[BLOCKING/MINOR]]? (yes to acknowledge / no to keep it open)"
**`--hitl-only`:** Present only HITL-classified findings. AFK findings are listed as "queued for autonomous resolution" and not presented for acknowledgment.
**`--blocking-only`:** Present only BLOCKING-classified findings. MINOR findings are listed as "queued for autonomous resolution" and not presented for acknowledgment.
## Update Report Metadata
If all required findings acknowledged (based on mode):
Update the report file's YAML frontmatter:
- `acknowledged: true`
- `acknowledged_at: [ISO 8601 timestamp]`
- `critical_open: false`
Track which findings were acknowledged vs. queued. Update `action_summary` in frontmatter to reflect remaining counts.
If any required finding left unacknowledged:
Output: "[N] findings still unacknowledged. $build remains gated."
## Output
If all required findings acknowledged:
Output: "All required findings acknowledged. $build gate cleared. You may now run `$build`."
If AFK or MINOR findings were queued: "Note: [N] AFK/MINOR findings queued for autonomous resolution in next `$build` pass."
## Anti-Rationalization
| Shortcut / Temptation | Why It Fails |
|-----------------------|--------------|
| Mark report acknowledged without per-finding confirmation | Critical risks can be bypassed without review |
| Clear `critical_open` when any finding remains unresolved | Build gate semantics become untrustworthy |
| Ignore missing report files | Produces false confidence that gate is clear |
## Exit Criteria
- [ ] Unacknowledged reports are identified using `critical_open: true` and `acknowledged: false`
- [ ] Each finding is presented with its HITL/AFK and BLOCKING/MINOR tags
- [ ] `--hitl-only` presents only HITL-classified findings; AFK findings listed as queued
- [ ] `--blocking-only` presents only BLOCKING-classified findings; MINOR findings listed as queued
- [ ] Report frontmatter is updated to `acknowledged: true`, `acknowledged_at: [ISO timestamp]`, and `critical_open: false` only when all required findings are acknowledged
- [ ] Output states whether `$build` remains gated or is cleared, and how many findings were queued for autonomous resolution
