Overview / Motivation

Auto-filed by the /daily 2026-07-15 parked-candidate routing pass (Step C) from a recursion-guard-parked prose follow-up on task #1322 (emitting agent: statistics-critic, #1322 Phase-2 round 1).

Goal

Add a verify_plan.py check that flags any plan acceptance criterion asserting a --check-* flag is "included in the no-flags default run" when that flag is absent from workflow_lint.py main()'s no-flags dispatch set, and/or add one clarifying line in workflow_lint.py's docstring header stating --check-references is NOT in the no-flags set.

Workflow gap

Bug observed: plan acceptance criteria can claim a --check-X flag is "included in the no-flags default run" when it is not (--check-references specifically is never bundled and resolves only workflow.yaml § tokens) — a false-PASS verification claim shipped into plan v1 of #1322.
Why it is a workflow gap: the mechanical plan pre-pass has no check for this claim class, so unverifiable/false verification claims reach the critic round repeatedly.
Confidence (emitter): low
verified-at-filing: grep -c 'no_flags' scripts/workflow_lint.py → 48 hits (the no-flags dispatch set exists there); grep -n 'no-flags' scripts/verify_plan.py → 0 hits in the named target (absence-of-guard claim — the 0-hit in-target result IS the evidence) (2026-07-16 UTC)

Proposed change (candidate diff sketch — refine in planning)

Add a verify_plan.py check flagging any acceptance criterion asserting a --check-* flag is in the no-flags default run when that flag is absent from workflow_lint.py main()'s or no_flags dispatch set; and/or one clarifying docstring line in workflow_lint.py stating --check-references is NOT in the no-flags set.

Scope / surfaces

Primary target: scripts/verify_plan.py, scripts/workflow_lint.py
Grep the workflow surface for the pattern before editing and update every hit; list them in the plan.

Constraints / invariants

Workflow-surface only — never experiment code, configs/, or tasks/.
scripts/workflow_lint.py --check-asks passes; ruff on touched files passes.
This session runs under EPM_WORKFLOW_FIX_SESSION=1 and carries a workflow_fix_target: Provenance line — it MUST NOT auto-route any of its own subagents' workflow-fix candidates (recursion guard).
