Status: closed/superseded · Impact: medium · Complexity: small

Goal

/sdlc:task-work Step 6 dispatches the implementer sub-agent with the non-baseline-gated quality command (quality run --config … --line), so the implementer treats pre-existing drift in files the task never touched (e.g. a stray rumdl reflow in an unrelated docs/ file) as a gate failure and “fixes” it — scope creep that has to be reverted out of the PR. Step 7 already runs the baseline-gated invocation, so the implementer should be briefed with that same invocation, making pre-existing drift invisible to it and letting only branch-introduced drift fail its local gate.

task-work Step 6’s implementer sub-agent is briefed with the non-baseline-gated quality command (quality run --config --line), so it treats pre-existing drift in unrelated files (e.g. a stray rumdl reflow) as a gate failure and “fixes” it — scope creep that has to be reverted. Fix: Step 6’s sub-agent brief should hand the implementer the same baseline-gated invocation Step 7 uses (--diff-against-baseline "$ORIGIN_MAIN_SHA" --baseline-dir <main>/.sdlc/quality-baselines) so pre-existing drift is invisible to the implementer and only branch-introduced drift can fail its local gate.
