# Milestone Audit: v2.1 Contract-Driven Architecture & Engineering Hardening

**Date:** 2026-05-09
**Status:** passed

## Executive Summary

All 5 phases (56-60) and all 29 requirements are implemented, verified, and passing. The milestone transforms PaperForge from feature-stacking to contract-driven development — CLI/plugin/worker boundaries hardened with stable PFResult contracts, core modules extracted from monolithic sync.py, state machine formalized with enums and transition validation, and the setup flow decomposed into 6 modular classes.

## Tech Debt

| # | Item | Severity | Recommendation |
|---|------|----------|---------------|
| TD-01 | .planning/STATE.md — still shows "Phase 58" as current, no v2.1 completion status | medium | Update with completed phases (56-60), correct plan/phase counts, set progress to 100% |
| TD-02 | .planning/REQUIREMENTS.md traceability table — all 29 v2.1 requirements show "Pending" | medium | Bulk-update to "Complete" for all v2.1 rows |
| TD-03 | .planning/PROJECT.md — "Active" section list items now completed; not moved to "Validated" | low | Move completed v2.1 requirements to Validated section |
| TD-04 | All 26 PLAN.md/SUMMARY.md documents in phases/056-060 remain — no archival policy for completed phases | low | Consider archiving to .planning/archive/ or removing after milestone close |
| TD-05 | setup_wizard.py still exists at top level alongside setup/ package — backward-compat shim adds maintenance surface | low | After one release cycle of the --modular path, remove wrapper and retire setup_wizard.py |
| TD-06 | Dual JSON output paths (old dict + new PFResult) during contract transition — both code paths must be maintained | low | Remove old JSON output paths after 2 stable release cycles of PFResult |

## Recommendations

1. **Update planning artifacts**: STATE.md, REQUIREMENTS.md traceability, and PROJECT.md "Active" section should be bulk-updated to reflect the completed milestone before starting v2.2.

2. **Ship as v1.4.17rc3 or v1.5.0**: All 29 v2.1 requirements are delivered. Run `python scripts/bump.py minor` to tag the next version.

3. **Plan archive**: Consider adding a `.planning/archive/` directory convention. Completed phase docs (56-60) can be moved there to keep `.planning/phases/` focused on active work.

4. **Next milestone (v2.2) candidates**: Based on current trajectory:
   - Plugin dashboard native rendering from PFResult contracts (remove direct index fallback)
   - Remove legacy setup_wizard.py after --modular path stabilizes
   - Remove old non-PFResult JSON output paths
   - CI integration for check_version_sync.py
