Synchronization Record Template

Use this shared record for initial synchronization, interruptions, and corrected work. The fixed path and preservation rules are defined by Workflow Artifact Provenance in the protocol. No mode or synchronization-path state field is needed. Create the record with node .standards/bin/artifact.mjs init SYNCHRONIZATION, which writes this provenance block and the header below:

<!-- STANDARDS
Artifact: SYNCHRONIZATION
Cycle: <Active Work.Id>
-->

Synchronization Record

Cycle: <Active Work.Id> Status: IN_PROGRESS | BLOCKED | COMPLETE User Style: NONE | <identifier>

Assessed Inputs

Contract, context, development, verification, both review reports, and documentation paths with content identities and cycle/kind checks.
In DOCUMENTATION, use current Auditor context, scope, technical contracts, documentation record and final review. Include the editing boundary and saved documents/checks; distinguish supporting existing source/tests/prior assessments from omitted owners’ current-cycle evidence.
Baseline/comparison range and its basis; committed, staged, unstaged, untracked, moved/deleted, and affected unchanged content relevant to the work.
Relevant dependencies/configuration and evidence execution assumptions.
Workflow context used: completion policy, handoff, recovery, obligations, baseline reconciliation, and blockers. State remains authoritative for routing; do not copy its stack.
Assessment boundary and exclusions with reasons. Distinguish deliverable identities from this record’s own writes and legal coordination updates. For corrective work, identify the owned correction and distinguish future dependencies from intentionally omitted normal-phase guarantees. Missing inputs needed for the correction or active contract remain gaps.

Completion and Evidence References

Reference existing artifacts/sections/results accounting for every current AC and relevant technical criterion. Preserve their identifiers and meaning; group references only when they share the same applicability reasoning. Do not copy acceptance text, reports, or an authoritative pass/fail ledger here.

Evidence/completion reference, the ACs and technical criteria it supports, and why it remains applicable to the assessed current content.
Final review’s applicability to this assembled deliverable and its supporting documentation evidence, plus implementation review and verification in STANDARD. Omitted implementation records are not documentation-cycle gaps.
Earlier pending dependencies and the owner’s evidence resolving them under the same IDs, or a discrepancy reference when still unresolved.
Reconciliation inspections/checks actually performed, their results and limits. For executed commands include command, working directory, assessed content, relevant environment, and actual exit/result. Never record secrets.
Retained evidence with justification; superseded evidence and the change invalidating it. Retired acceptance IDs are historical only.

Discrepancies and Dispositions

D-001 — concrete inconsistency

Status: OPEN | RESOLVED | WITHDRAWN Owner: <role or installer/protocol> FailureType: <canonical type, or NONE for non-workflow ownership>

Reference: affected path/section, content identity, related AC/criterion, and Reviewer finding reference by path and ID, for example .standards/docs/reviews/<Active Work.Id>/final-deliverable.md#F-001, when applicable.
Evidence and impact: what disagrees or is missing, and why it matters for applicability or completion. Separate facts from uncertainty.
Required correction: smallest outcome required from the owner, including review kind for Reviewer; record all open items before routing one.
Disposition: owner evidence checked on return, or reason a Synchronizer claim was withdrawn. Resolution here never changes another owner’s markers.

Use stable record-local IDs numbered with node .standards/bin/id.mjs next D <record>; these are discrepancy references, not acceptance identifiers. Write NONE when assessment found no discrepancies. Do not leave the example finding in a no-change result or duplicate entries on repeated runs.

Limitations and Remaining Work

Material gaps, unrun/unavailable/inconclusive checks, unresolved dependencies, and required owner or user action, or NONE with the assessed limits.
Non-blocking limits and why they do not prevent this conclusion.
Blocking question, if any, matching Active Work.BlockedOn.

Resume and Synchronization Conclusion

Lead with whether work can proceed to user sign-off and the reason. Record the next concrete action on interruption or corrective routing and identify input changes to reconcile next time. State whether the full Synchronizer gate passed and whether recovery requires a return before sign-off readiness. For a Synchronizer Corrective Return, record the verified owned correction and remaining dependencies, owners, and required evidence; explicitly state that full synchronization remains incomplete. Separately identify any intentionally omitted guarantees allowed by the shared corrective-return conditions; do not invent future assignments for them. Under IMPLEMENTATION_REVIEWED, describe the saved recovery return and whether implementation Reviewer must reassess closure. Neither the correction nor this record replaces that assessment. Reference current state for routing. Readiness is not user acceptance.

In DOCUMENTATION, record the full documentation-contract reconciliation and resulting readiness or recovery route with policy NONE. An incomplete owned corrective return goes only to an included role; record its unfinished prerequisites and when to revisit them. All six full gates and current evidence are required before readiness, including after a supported no-change result.

For Synchronizer Corrective Reruns under the protocol, also identify the active frame and its reason, the prior verified correction and content identities, the upstream changes, revalidation checks/results, and why each remaining full-gate gap is permitted. Record the saved rerun/resume boundary and required implementation Reviewer reassessment. Keep the record incomplete; passing this scoped assignment neither transfers frame ownership nor declares full synchronization or sign-off readiness.

Authoring Rules

Keep all sections concise and substantive; use NONE or an explicit explanation that work is not yet assessed instead of empty required sections. Persist enough to resume without chat history. IN_PROGRESS means reconciliation remains; BLOCKED means required reconciliation cannot complete; COMPLETE means the full Synchronization Gate passed, subject to current input applicability. Reopen unsupported conclusions and preserve useful superseded reasoning. Set User Style to the user’s explicit selection under the protocol’s User Styles, or NONE.

Reuse unchanged, sufficiently assessed content without cosmetic rewrites or repeated history entries. Correct only this record; route defects in referenced artifacts to their owners. This record neither replaces reports nor becomes a new source of acceptance meaning, formal evidence, or Reviewer findings.
