Summary

Namespace internal Design Review and Implementation Review council roles so they no longer collide with pipeline execution roles such as implementer, researcher, code-reviewer, security-reviewer, and synthesizer.

This keeps council persona semantics intact while preventing routing.roles.<execution-role> from accidentally influencing model/provider resolution for a council seat that merely shares the same role name.

Problem

The same literal role names are currently used for two different concepts:

  • pipeline execution routing (implementer, researcher, etc.)
  • internal review/council perspectives

Because model resolution consults routing.roles[$role], an execution route can unintentionally affect a Design Review or Implementation Review seat with the same role label.

Example: an implementer execution route pinned to a coding model can leak into the Design Review seat that is only meant to provide an implementability perspective.

Changes

Design Review roles become:

  • design-feasibility-reviewer
  • design-research-reviewer
  • design-code-reviewer
  • design-synthesizer

Implementation Review roles become:

  • implementation-logic-reviewer
  • implementation-security-reviewer
  • implementation-architecture-reviewer
  • implementation-cve-reviewer
  • implementation-diversity-reviewer
  • implementation-verifier
  • implementation-debater
  • implementation-synthesizer

A small octo_persona_role() compatibility layer maps these namespaced council roles back to the existing persona/tool-policy semantics. Routing/model resolution continues to see the namespaced role.

Compatibility

This intentionally preserves existing persona and tool-policy behavior. The change only separates council role identity from execution-role routing identity.

Validation

Focused tests:

  • test-council-role-names.sh 3/3
  • test-provider-neutral-design-review.sh 7/7
  • test-ceremonies.sh 9/9
  • test-provider-neutral-council.sh 6/6
  • test-agent-lifecycle-events.sh 10/10
  • test-review-run.sh 31/31
  • test-council-model-selection-fixes.sh 12/12
  • test-consultative-agent-dispatch.sh 8/8
  • smoke: 16/16

Also passes bash -n and git diff --check.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Enhancements

    • Added clearer, role-specific labels across design and implementation review workflows.
    • Improved model selection so design reviews use their designated review model independently from execution workflows.
    • Standardized role identification across verification, debate, synthesis, and review status reporting.
    • Preserved compatibility with existing role-based behavior.
  • Quality Improvements

    • Expanded automated coverage for role naming, model selection, provider routing, compatibility, and review lifecycle reporting.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds namespaced council roles for design and implementation reviews. Persona and tool-policy loading maps these roles to legacy personas. Review routing, synthesis events, model resolution, and tests now use namespaced roles.

Changes

Council role namespacing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Persona role mapping
scripts/lib/dispatch.sh, tests/unit/test-council-role-names.sh
Namespaced council roles map to legacy persona and tool-policy roles. Tests verify the mappings.
Design review role routing
scripts/lib/quality.sh, tests/unit/test-provider-neutral-design-review.sh, tests/unit/test-runtime-provider-labels.sh
Design consultations, synthesis, lifecycle events, and model resolution use semantic role names. Tests verify role labels and provider-default model resolution.
Implementation review role routing
scripts/lib/review.sh, tests/unit/test-council-role-names.sh
Provider routing, verification, debate, synthesis, and lifecycle events use implementation-* roles. Tests verify updated identifiers and finding-event metadata.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 63a3c

This change separates council roles from execution routing, but provider selection may still ignore valid suffixed openai-compatible-agent identifiers and silently choose fallback providers, while lifecycle-event checks can accept incorrect event sequences or names. Owner follow-up or explicit acceptance is needed before treating the PR as fully merge-ready.

109-116: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Match suffixed openai-compatible-agent providers.

get_agent_model accepts agent types matching openai-compatible-agent*, but this configuration case matches only the exact openai-compatible-agent value. A configured participant such as openai-compatible-agent-custom is ignored, so build_review_fleet can silently use fallback providers instead of the configured provider.

Use the same prefix match and add a regression assertion for a suffixed provider.

I verified the existing review finding against the runtime contracts and pushed e2e37308 to this branch.

The bug was real: openai-compatible-agent-custom is a valid suffixed participant and resolves correctly in dispatch/model routing, but _review_fleet_from_config matched only the exact unsuffixed name and silently dropped it. The new behavioral regression test failed before the production change (4/5) and passes afterward (5/5).

Local verification on the updated branch:

  • focused affected suites: role names 5/5, provider-neutral design 7/7, ceremonies 9/9, provider-neutral council 6/6, lifecycle events 10/10, review-run 31/31, council model selection 12/12, consultative dispatch 8/8, runtime provider labels 12/12, smoke 16/16
  • CI=true GITHUB_ACTIONS=true make ci-changed: passed the full make ci-local matrix, including Smoke, Unit, Integration, portability, generated-artifact, and plugin lifecycle checks
  • git diff --check: clean; no mode changes

I am leaving merge gated on the hosted checks and review state for the new exact head.
