docs(discussions): adopt the round template in the AI model provenance discussion

[josecelano]

Summary

The opening author's round that moves the AI model provenance discussion (opened in #2467) onto the discussion template, as docs/discussions/AGENTS.md now requires for a still-open discussion opened before rounds. Related to #2003.

Changes

• Metadata table follows the template: Status "Open for rounds", Opened by, Decision owner (@da2ce7, assignee of EPIC Overhaul: Automation Tools and AI Agent Guardrails #2003), and an AI assistance row. The Participants and Reviewer rows are gone.
• All existing sections, including the Draft Conclusions and the Follow-up Work, become the Context, unchanged apart from heading level.
• The nine open questions become topics Q1 to Q9. Their words are unchanged (only the first letter is capitalized), each topic gains the template's "Added by Jose Celano." attribution line, and each has no positions yet. Jose will add his positions in a later round.
• The Outcome placeholder now reads as the template's, "Pending: no decision recorded.", instead of "Pending review."; no decision is recorded.
• @da2ce7's draft position (docs(discussions): add the AI model provenance discussion #2467 (comment)) is linked from the Context, not copied, with its Part C mapped to the topics: C1 (Q1), C2 (Q2), C3 (Q3, Q4), C4 (Q5, Q6), C5 (Q7), C6 (Q8), C7 (Q9). Under the round rules, it enters the discussion when he adds it in his own round.

Verification

• A script compared each topic with the old open question, word for word after removing the added "Added by Jose Celano." line: all nine match. It also checked that the Context equals the old sections apart from heading level.
• No other document links to anchors in this discussion.
• linter markdown, linter cspell, linter lychee, and frontmatter-validator exit 0; the pre-commit gate and pre-push suite passed.

What changed in this PR

Adopts the round-based discussion template for the “AI Model Provenance in Commits” discussion by restructuring existing content into a Context section and converting the original open questions into template-compliant Topics (Q1–Q9).

Changes:

• Updated the metadata table to match the discussion template (status/roles/AI assistance) and removed Participants/Reviewer rows.
• Moved prior sections under Context (heading-level changes only).
• Converted the prior “Open Questions” list into Topics Q1–Q9 with empty Positions sections.

Reviewed at 1268899a126bb4b971b9374727dce390fcf1690b (round 1). Recomputed from the bytes at this head, against develop at 40dae98a7.

The opening author's round moving the AI model provenance discussion, opened in PR #2467 (merged as c2ebcfa3f) before rounds existed, onto the template, as docs/discussions/AGENTS.md:93-95 allows. Two files: the README and a new audit record.

Words unchanged. A script joined the hard-wrapped base items (:148-167) and the head topics (:186-261), removed "Added by Jose Celano." and compared them word for word. All nine match apart from the first letter's case; Q4 begins with a code span, so nothing changes there. Each bold lead-in is now its topic's title. The eight former sections at :43-180 equal the base :26-144 and :169-186 once ## becomes ###. Nothing at the head links #open-questions-for-the-reviewer.

Metadata table (:19-27). The rows and their order are those of DISCUSSION.md:16-24. The decision owner da2ce7 is the epic-owner: at EPIC.md:8. The AI assistance row is the old Participants row's assistant clause, unchanged, and "Opened by" carries its human clause, so no fact is lost.

Owner's position (:38-41). It is linked, not copied, as AGENTS.md:52-54 requires. The mapping C1→Q1, C2→Q2, C3→Q3/Q4, C4→Q5/Q6, C5→Q7, C6→Q8 and C7→Q9 matches the question numbers in Part C of the comment.

Topics (:182-265). Q1 to Q9 are in order. Each topic ends "Added by Jose Celano." and has a #### Positions heading with "No positions yet.". The topic anchors are unique; the positions-N repeats come from the template. #topics and the four relative links resolve. The Outcome changed: see F1.

Frontmatter and tree. Both added related-artifacts paths exist. --name-status shows one modified file and one added file. The cspell line and project-words.txt are unchanged.

Audit record. The Status Values block (:23-38) and the Completion Rules block are byte-identical to the template's; Ownership differs only where its placeholder is filled with N/A. Rows F1 and F2 match Copilot review 5455109937:

• severities Medium→Minor (inferred) and Low→Suggestion (inferred), as in the PR #2461 audit;
• comments 4217731437 and 4217731528, with replies 4217755116 and 4217755375 on their own threads;
• both threads RESOLVED.

The Processing Log runs 10:21 then 10:23, before the 10:24:44Z commit; the Copilot timeout warning is recorded, with no row. Fix 1: :34-36 now names the added attribution, and the PR body says the comparison removed it. Fix 2: :31 links PR #2467 (external, reported).

Hygiene. There are five Conventional commits with author = committer, at 10:04:23Z, 10:22:23Z, 10:23:09Z, 10:24:44Z and 10:34:46Z. The fifth, 1268899a1, only rewraps the audit's Category item (:33-34) to the template's line break, the same fix as F2 on PR #2485; the README is unchanged since fe10c6a65. None has a trailer or an issue tag (the discussion has no issue of its own); each body is true to its diff. The PR body says "Related to #2003"; its linter and validator results are reported.

Findings: F1 (Minor, non-blocking, inline).

Checked, no finding:

• "assignee of EPIC #2003" names the same person as EPIC.md:8, though the template's word is "owner of".
• "Added by {Name}" without the login follows DISCUSSION.md:48.
• "No positions yet." is harmless.
• The PR title has no issue tag.
• The PR body's Changes list omits the audit record.
• PR #2486 still links the removed anchor; that is sequencing.

[da2ce7]

ACK 1268899 — nine topics equal the moved questions word for word, the Context sections equal the base apart from heading level, every link and anchor resolves, the audit record matches the capture at this head, and the audit record's Status Values block verbatim

[josecelano]

Review 5455373856 (da2ce7, round 1), finding F1 [Minor], recorded in the audit as review-finding:pr-2487-f3 because F1 is already taken there: FIXED by editing the PR body. Its Changes list now says: The Outcome placeholder now reads as the template's, "Pending: no decision recorded.", instead of "Pending review."; no decision is recorded. The PR body becomes the merge commit message, so the change enters history. The placeholder is kept because adopting the template brings its placeholder with it (docs/discussions/AGENTS.md, Discussions Opened Before Rounds). The README is unchanged.

[josecelano]

@da2ce7 (Posted by an AI assistant at @josecelano's request.) Could you re-ACK the new head c98d4186a? Develop moved six commits after your review (including the #2485 merge), so the branch had to be rebased before the merge tool would accept it, and that moved the head off 1268899a1, the commit your ACK names.

What changed since your ACK:

• The README is byte-identical to 1268899a1 (git diff 1268899a1 c98d4186a -- <README> is empty).
• Your F1 is fixed by a PR-body line, as you suggested (resolution comment: docs(discussions): adopt the round template in the AI model provenance discussion #2487 (comment)). It is recorded in the audit as F3, because F1 is already taken there.
• One new commit, docs(pr-reviews): record da2ce7 round-1 approval and F3 on #2487, adds 31 lines to the audit record only. The five earlier commits are unchanged (range-diff =).

After this merges, #2486 will need a rebase: its entries go under the existing Q1–Q9 and it adds Q10–Q11. I'll post the details there once this lands.

Reviewed at c98d4186ad342f6b9f14a43e9e6cf1601c462f65 (round 1d, the rebase and the audit commit). Recomputed from the bytes at this head, against develop at 1d116fbfa.

The move. git range-diff 40dae98a7..1268899a1 1d116fbfa..c98d4186a shows the five reviewed commits as =: b0f587a1f, 27856354b, f70c40313, 149a1748e and f8f88b7e5, each equal in message and in patch-id. It also shows one new commit. git diff 1268899a1 c98d4186a -- <README> is empty, and the audit record is the only one of the PR's files that changed. The round-1 checks at 1268899a1 therefore carry over by citation: words unchanged, metadata table, link paragraph, Topics and anchors, frontmatter, and the verbatim Status Values block. The merge base is the develop tip, 1d116fbfa.

The audit commit (c98d4186a, +31 lines, audit record only).

• ID collision (:48-50). Review 5455373856 (da2ce7, submitted as APPROVED at 10:45:52Z) raised F1, which collides with Copilot's F1, so the finding takes F3. That follows process-pr-review/SKILL.md:57-61: "assign the next audit-local F<ordinal> and record the reviewer's original ID in the detail entry". :98 records "Reviewer finding ID: F1".
• Row (:56). Human, Minor (from the [Minor] bracket), documentation, ORIGINAL, FIXED, RESOLVED; the thread on README :269 is resolved.
• Detail (:94-111). All ten fields are present:
  • source comment 4217949739 belongs to review 5455373856;
  • reply 4218767626 answers it on the same thread;
  • the resolution reference, issue comment 6059620329, states the PR-body fix, as :232-234 requires for a fix outside the tree.
• Concern. It restates the round-1 finding faithfully.
• Current-tree verification. It holds: the PR body's Changes list has the Outcome line, and README :269 still reads "Pending: no decision recorded.".
• Processing Log (:119-125). Still in order: 10:21, 10:23, 10:34, 12:15. 10:34 is the time of the verbatim-fix commit; 12:15 follows the resolution comment (12:14:52Z) and the reply (12:14:53Z). The round-1 body does carry the "Checked, no finding" list that :50 cites.

Hygiene. Six Conventional commits, each with author = committer and with author and committer times in ascending order; no trailers, no issue tags, no banned token. --name-status against 1d116fbfa: README (M), audit record (A). The PR body differs from round 1c only by the Outcome line.

Findings: none. Round-1 F1 is fixed, recorded as audit F3.

Checked, no finding:

• Review 5455373856 reads DISMISSED at the capture, because of the 12:17:10Z push; the record's APPROVED is its state as submitted.
• The 12:15 entry also describes the rebase, the push (12:17:10Z) and the re-ACK request (12:17:29Z), which came after the commit; it is true at the capture.
• "develop, which had moved six commits": rev-list --count 40dae98a7..1d116fbfa is 6.
• The Concern cites one of the finding's three non-blocking reasons.

ACK c98d418 — the five reviewed commits carried patch-equal onto develop 1d116fb with the README byte-identical to 1268899, and the new audit commit records the round-1 finding as F3 with every id, reply and verification claim true against the capture
