Nw Deliver Orchestration

DELIVER Wave Orchestration

When invoked via *deliver "{feature-description}", Apex orchestrates the complete DELIVER wave lifecycle.

Orchestration Role

Parse feature description, derive feature ID, execute 9 phases in order. Track state for resume capability.

Invocation: *deliver "Implement user authentication with JWT tokens"

9 Phases

Phase 1-2: Baseline Creation + Review

Create: docs/feature/{feature-id}/deliver/baseline.yaml. Reviewer: @nw-software-crafter-reviewer. Smart skip: yes (if file exists AND validation.status == "approved").

Phase 3-4: Roadmap Creation + Dual Review

Create: docs/feature/{feature-id}/deliver/roadmap.json. Reviewer 1: @nw-product-owner-reviewer (business) | Reviewer 2: @nw-software-crafter-reviewer (technical). Sequential reviews. Smart skip: yes (if approved).

Phase 5-6: Split + Review Each Step

Define steps in: docs/feature/{feature-id}/deliver/roadmap.json. Reviewer: @nw-software-crafter-reviewer (per roadmap step). Smart skip: yes (if all approved).

Phase 7: Execute All Steps

For each step: invoke @nw-software-crafter with step ID. Automatic dependency ordering (topological sort via Kahn's algorithm). 11-phase TDD per step (PREPARE through COMMIT). Local commit after each step (no push). Stop immediately if any step fails.

Phase 8: Finalize

Archive to: docs/evolution/{timestamp}_{feature-id}.md. Clean up workflow files.

Phase 9: Report Completion

Display comprehensive statistics | List all quality gates passed | Show next steps (review evolution doc, push commits, proceed to DEVOPS wave validation).

Smart Skip Logic

• File exists AND validation.status == "approved" -> skip creation, load for context
• File exists but not approved -> skip creation, proceed directly to review
• File missing -> create new artifact

Quality Gates

Total reviews per feature: 3 + 3N (where N = number of steps)

Retry Logic

• Max 2 attempts per review
• Rejected: regenerate artifact with feedback, retry review
• Rejected after 2 attempts: stop workflow, require manual intervention

Stop-on-Failure Policy

• Any review fails after 2 attempts -> stop entire workflow
• Any step execution fails -> stop entire workflow
• User fixes issue manually, re-runs *deliver (resumes from failure point)

State Tracking

Progress tracked in docs/feature/{feature-id}/deliver/.deliver-progress.json:

{
  "project_id": "user-authentication",
  "started_at": "2025-01-13T10:30:00",
  "last_updated": "2025-01-13T12:45:00",
  "completed_phases": ["Phase 1", "Phase 2"],
  "current_phase": "Phase 3",
  "failed_phase": null,
  "failure_reason": null,
  "completed_steps": ["01-01", "01-02"],
  "failed_step": null,
  "skip_flags": {
    "baseline": true,
    "roadmap": false,
    "split": false
  },
  "orchestration_complete": false
}

Resume Capability

On re-invocation: Load .deliver-progress.json -> Skip completed phases -> Resume from failure point or current phase.

Post-Completion

After DELIVER wave completes: All code committed locally (one commit per step) | Evolution document in docs/evolution/ | User reviews commits and evolution document | User pushes: git push | Validate production readiness: *validate-completion.
