T-RJ2Z-ensure-ready-bulk-reformat-legacy-touchpoint-tables

Status: closed/done · Impact: medium · Complexity: small

Goal

The v3 /sdlc:task-ensure-ready gate is table-only: ## Today and ## Files to touch must be markdown tables, and bulleted-legacy shapes are a hard fail. Tasks authored and stamped readiness_verified_at under an earlier (v2, bullets-allowed) verifier still carry bulleted sections, so each one fails the gate the moment /sdlc:task-work picks it up — forcing a detour through /sdlc:task-define to reformat the two sections before any implementation can start. This was hit on 2026-05-19-engine-review-running-tick-decision (in github.com:sksizer/pumice), and every other already-verified task with bulleted touchpoints will re-discover it individually. A bulk migration that finds all readiness_verified_at tasks whose Today/Files-to-touch parse as bulleted-legacy and reformats them to v3 tables in one pass would close the gap once instead of N times.

From the originating post-mortem: “The task shipped at readiness_verified_at under an older (v2, bullets-allowed) readiness verifier, but the current v3 gate is table-only … task-work had to detour through /sdlc:task-define to reformat both sections into v3 tables before it could proceed — a verifier-generation drift, not a real spec gap. A bulk migration that re-runs the v3 table check across all already-verified tasks and reformats bulleted Today/Files-to-touch sections in batch would stop every Phase-5 cleanup task from re-discovering this individually.”
