gitreins-tier2-judge-response-json-parse-truncated-incomplete
Wrote the solution to ~/SOLUTION.md.
The INCOMPLETE verdict was a stacked failure, not a code defect alone:
Root causes
1. Transport — the judge emitted an unquoted json marker line plus truncated its stream, so the JSON parser died (Expecting property name... line 3 column 61). The evaluator's keyword fallback salvaged only the narrative prefix → FAIL list cut off at item 3 of 4.
2. Criteria — the gitreins criterion was a condensed paraphrase that dropped the board row's (or a documented base-URL override recipe) alternative, guaranteeing the re-judge would fail.
3. Process — no gitreins task update exists; complete on the same id overwrites history (latest-wins), so bad criteria must be recovered by delete + recreate.
Fix applied
- Hand-verify every FAIL in the fallback narrative (2 of 3 shown were false).
- Add the real gap: a top-level tags: section to docs/openapi.yaml (commit 122ae30).
- Delete + recreate the task with criteria copied verbatim from the board row.
- task start + task complete.
Verification
- Chain: 3d8d31f0 FAIL (truncated parse) → self-verify → 122ae30 tags fix → c00396e7 FAIL (missing row alternative) → criterion corrected verbatim → 776726fc PASS 4/4, passed=true.
- Included parse checks, undeclared-tag check, and a mechanical diff proving the stored criterion equals the board row.
The document includes the YAML snippet, the exact gitreins command sequence, verification scripts, and the four carry-forward rules. Note: gitreins on this host is a broken symlink and no target repo/board files exist, so the writeup is based on the supplied evidence rather than live re-execution.
