fix(intake): bind Submission text to its checked packet

[Abiorh001]

Change

ARCH-04E1B-B4 — bind Submission text to its checked packet.

A contributor could prepare a ZIP with summary/attestation A and create its Submission with different text B. TASK now passes the canonical packet commitment to ART, which rejects a mismatch before binding or consumed replay. A deferred PostgreSQL guard independently compares the final bound Submission with retained pre-submit evidence.

Intent and scope

Bounded record. This prerequisite was found during initial-dispatch plan review. It reuses the existing packet hash and immutable evidence; it introduces no alternate workflow, authority, provider read or compatibility path. Existing bound-identity guards are retained. Upgrade preserves retained rows without inventing hashes or rewriting data.

Dispatch, worker activation, routing, acceptance and public intake remain pending. The roadmap and current ARCH navigation reflect packet custody and the remaining capacity/receipt/replay obligations. No local spreadsheet exports are present.

Evidence

Current candidate: d8811190e41f6be9122c1303249cac0e0493e480, reconciled with main 63426231; CLI07 changes retained.

• Focused binding/composition tests: 29 passed.
• Service guard-removal probe: all four independent text/state cases fail at the intended missing-rejection assertion. The fixture was corrected so a missing guard cannot fail merely by exhausting mock responses.
• SQL guard-removal probe reaches the intended missing IntegrityError assertion when only the packet trigger is disabled; schema-drift teardown also detects the deliberate mutation, and isolated database cleanup completes.
• Product head 8beba3bd focused pure/PostgreSQL suite: 35 passed; final d8811190 has the identical backend tree and only documentation corrections. Real TASK/ART/AUTH creation, independent summary/attestation substitution, rollback, concurrent creation/consumption, replay, bound/upstream immutability and 0021→0022 retained-row preservation passed. Isolated database cleanup completed. A broader earlier local migration batch hit its 900-second bound; it is not passing evidence. Hosted schema/full-suite verification subsequently passed on final head d8811190.
• Final-head migration graph test: 1 passed.
• Ruff, module/AUTH/test-structure boundaries, behavior ownership, Markdown links, stale wording and Commitrail checks passed locally.
• No tests skipped or removed; no CI or dependency changes.

Impact-Routed Reviewer Results

Exact reviewed head: d8811190e41f6be9122c1303249cac0e0493e480.

• Architecture, security, reuse, QA, test delta, documentation and product operations: PASS, no open findings.
• CI integrity: PASS after independent raw-artifact verification of all nine hosted lanes and aggregate success.
• Reviewers inspected real transaction/direct-SQL tests and the discriminating service/SQL guard-removal artifacts. The independent SQL probe produces the intended failed rejection assertion; deliberate disabled-trigger drift also trips teardown, and cleanup succeeds. These are mutation evidence, not a passing test run.
• Reviews are scoped to hidden packet custody and documented plan alignment; they do not prove future dispatch, worker activation or public intake.

All required hosted checks pass on final head d8811190: 8,693 tests completed exactly once, zero skips/deselections, all nine lanes and aggregate successful. Tested merge commit ac848473 has the identical tree to the PR head. All lane evidence hashes and cleanup metadata were independently checked.

CodeRabbit substantively reviewed 8beba3bd; its two documentation findings are fixed, including related stale current-page references found during internal replay. Its final-head status is rate-limited (not fresh substantive review). No unresolved review threads. Ready for eligible human approval; not merged.

Remaining Risk

The slowest hosted test lane took 1,166.9 seconds against the unchanged 1,200-second execution bound; runtime margin remains narrow. Coverage is diagnostic and no gate was weakened.

Follow-Up Work

The existing AGENTS rule, canonical ARCH plan and current roadmap/navigation now prioritize the first complete backend contributor journey. Capacity alignment, atomic initial dispatch, hidden handlers, genuine authority/effect proof, remediation, controlled production enablement, public intake and a real end-to-end drill remain. Human review/revision runtime and contributor lease expiry are later work.

Human Review Focus

Exact pre-check-to-Submission text custody, denial before effects, deferred commit rejection, retained-data preservation and unchanged authorization/transaction ownership. Hosted verification and internal reviews are complete. Human approval and merge remain required.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Submission creation now binds its summary and contributor attestation to the packet retained during pre-submit checking. Admission consumption checks the packet hash, and a deferred database guard validates the final Submission text. Planning and project documentation also update the first contributor milestone sequence.

Changes

Checked Submission packet custody

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Create and verify packet commitments backend/app/modules/checkers/api/pre_submit.py, backend/app/modules/tasks/..., backend/app/modules/artifacts/..., backend/app/adapters/tasks/__init__.py, backend/tests/test_artifact_bindings.py, backend/tests/test_submission_composition.py, backend/tests/submission_fixtures.py, backend/tests/test_artifact_bindings_db.py	Submission creation computes a canonical hash from the summary and contributor attestation, then passes it through admission consumption. Consumption rejects a mismatch with retained evidence before binding or consumed-admission replay. Tests cover changed packet text and hash forwarding.
Enforce packet custody at commit backend/alembic/env.py, backend/alembic/versions/0022_submission_packet_custody.py, backend/tests/tasks/test_submission_lineage.py, backend/tests/test_alembic.py, backend/tests/conftest.py	The deferred trigger checks final Submission text against linked pre-submit evidence. Tests cover rejected changes, lineage immutability, and preservation of existing Submission data when upgrading the schema.
Record delivery sequence and packet custody .commitrail/INDEX.md, .commitrail/initiatives/*, AGENTS.md, README.md, docs/roadmap_status.md, docs/spec_artifact_storage_service.md, docs/spec_chunk_4_task_queue_assignment.md	Planning and documentation record B4 packet custody and describe the contributor milestone sequence. They identify initial Submission/dispatch work and its capacity, receipt, and replay requirements, followed by the specified remediation, activation, intake, and human-review work.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 8beba

The runtime change looks sound. A few planning documents still name the old next boundary and could mislead contributors, so update them when convenient; this does not block the merge.

📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Clarify that only external routing is deferred.

The README and roadmap defer “automated routing” without limiting that phrase to external routing. The first contributor path includes internal policy-governed post-check routing. AGENTS.md Lines 141–143 distinguishes that path from external task-routing systems.

• docs/roadmap_status.md#L45-L47: state that external task-routing systems remain outside v0.1, not internal post-check routing.
• README.md#L119-L120: limit the later-adapter statement to external task-routing systems.

📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Align the initiative next-boundary fields with the delivery order.

These overview fields name the remaining 04E1B-B handlers as the next boundary. The revised sequence puts capacity alignment and atomic initial Submission/dispatch first.

• .commitrail/initiatives/WS-ARCH-001/OVERVIEW.md#L120-L121: place capacity alignment and initial Submission/dispatch before the remaining handlers.
• .commitrail/initiatives/WS-AUTH-001/OVERVIEW.md#L81-L83: name capacity alignment and initial Submission/dispatch before the routing handlers.
• .commitrail/initiatives/WS-CON-001/OVERVIEW.md#L70-L73: name capacity alignment and initial Submission/dispatch before the routing handlers.
• .commitrail/initiatives/WS-POL-003/OVERVIEW.md#L90-L93: name capacity alignment and initial Submission/dispatch before the hidden handlers.
• .commitrail/initiatives/WS-REV-001/OVERVIEW.md#L47-L50: name capacity alignment and initial Submission/dispatch before the routing handlers.

As per coding guidelines, “Update an affected row when its durable disposition or next usable boundary changes.”
