The README asserted its benefits and offered no evidence, in a repository whose PRINCIPLES.md says evidence beats opinion. A fair reading called that out.

Six defects, each with the gate that caught it: the broken links shipped to every adopter, the registry row blanked instead of removed, the JSON parsed from a stream carrying stderr, the scoped bootstrap resolving to 404, the five gates reporting "no package.json" to a project that has one, and the P0 blocker invented out of prose.

Stated for what it is: devia run on devia and on one real project, not independent adoption. Claiming more would be the same failure the last two entries describe.

Summary

Type

Devia compliance

  • Rules touched (IDs):
  • New rule? source cited, severity, priority, validation method:
  • Breaking for adopters? (rule id, .devia/ layout, CLI contract):
  • CHANGELOG.md updated:
  • Generated files rebuilt (npm run build:index):

Checks

  • npm run validate passes
  • npm test passes
  • node bin/devia.mjs check --root . passes
  • devia init still produces a valid project (devia validate clean in a scratch repo)
