# Milestone v1.0 Audit Report

**Milestone:** AI Artiste v1.0
**Audited:** 2026-04-11

## Phase Verification Summary

| Phase | Status | Score | Notes |
|-------|--------|-------|-------|

| 2. Artist Creation Wizard | PASSED | 9/9 | Full 6-step wizard, bible template, example bible |
| 3. Artist Data Structure | PASSED | 5/5 | 5 genre templates, folder conventions |
| 4. Core Track Production | PASSED | 5/5 | 3-step track workflow, Suno-ready output |
| 5. French Linguistic Engine | GAPS_FOUND* | 3/4 | *Gap resolved by Phase 7 — deferral notes removed |
| 6. English Linguistic Engine | PASSED | 2/2 | Syllable + rhyme reference files complete |

## Integration Check

### Cross-Phase Wiring: 18/18 connections verified

All critical connections between phases are wired:
- Artist creation → Track production path conventions: consistent
- Song templates → Track workflow references: mapped via aliases frontmatter
- French/English linguistic engines → Step 03 dispatch: correctly dispatched by language
- CLAUDE.md → Skills behavior: aligned
- Bible template sections → Coherence engine reads: section names match
- Discography template → Cross-track analysis: all 6 stats fields match

### E2E Flows: 3/3 complete

| Flow | Status | Notes |
|------|--------|-------|
| Create Artist | COMPLETE | All 6 steps → bible.md + discography.md + tracks/ created |
| Create Track (French) | COMPLETE | Full pipeline including linguistic + coherence + discography update |
| Create Track (English) | COMPLETE | Same pipeline, pronunciation correctly omitted for English |

## Tech Debt Items

### High Priority

1. **French Chorus rhyme blocking condition is ambiguous** (Step 03 line 107)
   - Says "BLOQUER si : rime pauvre" but the threshold is "< riche (3+)"
   - A "rime suffisante" (2 phonemes) in a French Chorus would not be caught by the literal trigger
   - The parenthetical states the correct threshold, so Claude likely enforces correctly at runtime
   - **Fix:** Change wording to "BLOQUER si : rime sous le seuil (< riche, < 3 phonemes) en Chorus francais"

### Medium Priority

2. **artists/README.md section list is incomplete** (lines 38-46)
   - Lists 7 bible sections but the template has 9 (missing: Personnalite, Regles de Coherence)
   - SKILL.md correctly declares bible-template.md as authoritative, so runtime behavior is unaffected
   - **Fix:** Update README.md section table to include all 9 sections

### Low Priority

3. **Step 01 notation imprecision** (line 54)
   - `Lore > Arc narratif` implies sub-heading navigation but Arc narratif is an inline bold field
   - Claude navigates correctly because the field exists, but notation could mislead
   - **Fix:** Clarify to "Lire le champ **Arc narratif** dans la section Lore"

4. **CLAUDE.md lyrics limit documentation** (line 63)
   - Only states the 5000 hard limit; SKILL.md correctly distinguishes 3000 recommended / 5000 max
   - Not a conflict — CLAUDE.md defers to reference/suno/format.md which has the full detail
   - **Fix:** Optional — add "(recommande <= 3000)" to CLAUDE.md

## Anti-Patterns

No TODOs, FIXMEs, stubs, or placeholder implementations found across any phase. Phase 5's deferral notes were the only anti-pattern detected and were confirmed resolved by Phase 7.

## Human Verification Recommended

From phase verifications, the following runtime tests are recommended:

1. **Create a test artist** via /create-artist — verify wizard flow and bible output quality
2. **Create a French track** — verify linguistic verification report appears with syllable counts and rhyme classifications
3. **Create an English track** — verify English linguistic dispatch (no pronunciation scan)
4. **Create 3+ tracks for one artist** — verify discography stats, emotion drift detection, and cross-track analysis

## Conclusion

Milestone v1.0 delivers all 24 requirements across 8 completed phases. The system provides:
- Interactive artist creation with comprehensive bible generation
- Track production with Suno-ready output (style prompts, lyrics, metatags)
- French and English linguistic verification (syllables, rhymes, pronunciation)
- Coherence engine ensuring artist-track alignment and cross-track analysis

No critical blockers exist. The accumulated tech debt is minor — primarily documentation inconsistencies and one ambiguous blocking condition that is mitigated by adjacent context.
