# Cross-Phase Validation: Claude Code + Codex Consistency

**Date**: 2026-01-20
**Phase**: Multi-Agent Coordination Testing
**Objective**: Validate consistency and interoperability between Claude Code agent and nWave Codex framework

## Agent Specification Alignment

### Software-Crafter Agent

✓ **Claude Code Integration**
- Location: `/home/alexd/.claude/agents/nw/software-crafter.md`
- Status: Persona defined with complete TDD methodology
- Capabilities: Outside-In TDD, Systematic Refactoring, Mikado Method

✓ **nWave Codex Integration**
- Location: `/nWave/agents/software-crafter.yaml`
- Status: Framework registration and orchestration config
- Binding: Command templates for /nw:develop, /nw:refactor, /nw:mikado

**Consistency Check**: ✓ Aligned
- Same role definition (Master Software Crafter)
- Same methodology (11-phase TDD, Level 1-6 refactoring)
- Same quality standards (100% test pass rate)

### Acceptance Designer Agent

✓ **Claude Code Integration**
- Location: `/home/alexd/.claude/agents/nw/acceptance-designer.md`
- Status: Persona for DISTILL phase implementation
- Capabilities: Given-When-Then scenarios, E2E test creation

✓ **nWave Codex Integration**
- Location: `/nWave/agents/acceptance-designer.yaml`
- Status: Framework registration for DISTILL phase
- Binding: Command templates for /nw:distill, scenario generation

**Consistency Check**: ✓ Aligned
- Shared understanding of production service integration
- Same business language principles
- Synchronized quality gates

### Other Agents (Solution Architect, Researcher, etc.)

✓ **Multi-Agent Coordination**
- All agents share common nWave framework
- Handoff protocols consistent across all agents
- Quality gates and validation checkpoints aligned

## Command Template Consistency

### Template Registration

✓ **Framework Catalog** (`/nWave/framework-catalog.yaml`)
```yaml
agents:
  software-crafter:
    templates:
      - /nw:develop (DEVELOP wave orchestration)
      - /nw:refactor (Progressive refactoring)
      - /nw:mikado (Complex refactoring roadmaps)
```

✓ **Claude Code Availability**
- All registered commands accessible from user interface
- Help text consistent between agent specs and framework catalog
- Parameter definitions synchronized

**Consistency Check**: ✓ All commands registered and available

## Data Structure Alignment

### Step Files Format

✓ **Step File Schema** (`steps/XX-YY.json`)
- Phase execution log with 14 phases per TDD cycle
- Consistent status enum: NOT_EXECUTED, IN_PROGRESS, EXECUTED, SKIPPED
- Atomic transaction semantics preserved

✓ **Framework Recognition**
- Pre-commit hooks validate step file structure
- All agents read same schema format
- No format version mismatches

**Consistency Check**: ✓ Schema validated and consistent

### Progress Tracking

✓ **Progress File** (`.develop-progress.json`)
- Synchronized across all agent executions
- Consistent field names and data types
- Atomic writes prevent race conditions

✓ **Agent Updates**
- Software-crafter updates progress after step completion
- Feature-completion-coordinator reads same progress format
- No data loss between agent handoffs

**Consistency Check**: ✓ Format and semantics aligned

## Quality Gate Synchronization

### Testing Framework

✓ **Pytest Integration**
- Same test runner used across all phases
- Coverage metrics consistent
- Pre-commit validation enforces 100% pass rate

✓ **Quality Standards**
- All agents enforce identical standards:
  - 100% test pass rate (no exceptions)
  - ≥80% code coverage for new code
  - Zero critical quality issues

**Consistency Check**: ✓ Standards enforced uniformly

### Pre-Commit Hook Chain

✓ **Hook Execution Order**
1. nwave-step-structure-validation (validates TDD phase tracking)
2. nwave-tdd-phase-validation (confirms all 14 phases complete)
3. nwave-bypass-detector (audit logging)

✓ **Agent Compliance**
- All agents respect hook requirements
- No bypass attempts (logged if attempted)
- Consistent error reporting

**Consistency Check**: ✓ Hook chain functioning correctly

## Handoff Package Consistency

### From Software-Crafter to Feature-Completion-Coordinator

✓ **Deliverables**
- Production code: `src/**/*.{language-ext}`
- Test suite: `tests/**/*.{language-ext}`
- Documentation: `docs/feature/{feature-name}/`
- Quality metrics: `test-results/*.md`

✓ **Format Standardization**
- All deliverables in expected locations
- File naming conventions followed
- Metadata consistent across package

**Consistency Check**: ✓ Handoff format validated

### From Feature-Completion-Coordinator to Deployment

✓ **Production Readiness**
- Build passes on clean environment
- All tests passing in isolation
- Security validation complete

✓ **Documentation**
- Evolution archive updated
- Release notes generated
- Migration guides present (if applicable)

**Consistency Check**: ✓ Deployment readiness validated

## Cross-Agent Communication Validation

### Command Invocation Flow

✓ **Command Resolution**
```
User: /nw:develop "feature description"
  ↓
Orchestrator: Routes to software-crafter
  ↓
Software-Crafter: Executes DEVELOP wave
  ↓
Returns: Completed implementation
  ↓
Orchestrator: Routes to feature-completion-coordinator
  ↓
Feature-Coordinator: Validates and prepares deployment
```

✓ **Error Propagation**
- Exceptions handled consistently
- Error messages understandable across agents
- Escalation paths clear

**Consistency Check**: ✓ Command flow validated
