3-lineage scrum review of the role-gate work (commits 7f2f112..0331288)
ran Opus 4.7 / Kimi K2.6 / Qwen3-coder via scripts/scrum_review.sh.
All three flagged the same edge case: the homegrown plural-stripper
in roleNormalize would collapse non-plural-s tokens like "Sales" →
"Sale", "Logistics" → "Logistic", "Operations" → "Operation". In a
staffing domain those are real role names; the silent normalization
would have caused false role-equality matches and re-opened the
cross-role bleed for those clusters.
Fix:
- nonPluralSWords allowlist for known staffing-domain non-plural-s
tokens (sales, logistics, operations, facilities, premises, news,
physics, economics, mathematics, analytics).
- Last-word-only stripping ("Sales Associate" stays whole; only
"Associates" head noun is plural-checked).
- -ss ending check so "Press Operator", "Boss" don't lose their s.
- strings.ToLower + strings.TrimSpace replace the homegrown rune-
loop ASCII normalizer (Opus INFO — minor cleanup, folded in).
Tests:
- TestRoleNormalize_NonPluralS: 18 cases covering the allowlist,
-ss ending, real plurals (Operators → Operator, Boxes → Box),
multi-word real plurals (Forklift Operators → forklift operator),
whitespace/case tolerance.
- TestRoleEqual_NonPluralS: gate-level pairing — proves equal-
shape allowlisted tokens compare equal AND that "Sales" ≠ "Sale"
(the original bug shape).
- Existing TestRoleEqual_PluralAndCase still green (refactor
preserved behavior).
Other scrum findings dispositioned (not actioned):
- Opus WARN on empty-role fail-open semantics: documented
backward-compat behavior; production path closes via opt-in LLM
extractor (real_004).
- Opus INFO on unsynchronized package-global cache map: harness is
single-goroutine; add sync.Mutex when/if it parallelizes.
- Opus INFO on parallel constructor (NewPlaybookEntryWithRole vs
optional arg): API smell only, both forms preserved.
- Kimi 2 BLOCKs (NewPlaybookEntryWithRole missing, ApplyPlaybookBoost
signature breakage): FALSE positives. Pre-push smoke chain green
on 0331288, both symbols + all call sites compile clean. Matches
feedback_cross_lineage_review.md's documented Kimi truncation
behavior — Kimi BLOCKs warrant trace verification before action.
