structural status is computed. Add a regression test covering the import-failure
case and verifying human output still returns the expected exit code.

excluded/whole_file_claims scoping never activates on a real coverage report
Severity: Major
Problem
eval_semantic.py's coverage_scope() reads report.get("excluded") and report.get("whole_file_claims"), expecting each to be a list of {"path": ...} dicts, to implement the documented behavior "files a human declared excluded are skipped; files flagged whole_file_claims are prioritised." But the real report producer, generate_report() in utils/coverage.py, never emits either key in that name or shape — it only produces summary["files_excluded"] (an integer count) and flagged_files (a list of plain path strings). Since the reader tolerates a missing/malformed key by returning an empty list, coverage_scope() always falls back to an empty scope in every real invocation — only exercised in tests via a hand-constructed report dict that stubs a shape the real code never produces.
How to reproduce
- Run
spec-coverage --semanticon any real project (no test doubles). - Inspect the
coverage_reportdict passed intorun_semantic_pass. - Confirm
coverage_report.get("excluded")isNoneandcoverage_report.get("whole_file_claims")isNone. - Trace into
coverage_scope()— both lookups return[], yielding an empty scope regardless of what files are actually excluded or scope-only.
Expected behavior
A file a human excluded from structural coverage should be skipped by the semantic pass, and a file flagged as scope-only should be prioritized for judging, in every real invocation.
Actual behavior
The scoping logic never activates on a real coverage report; the excluded-count is always 0 and prioritization is always empty in production.
generate_report() actually emits: eval_semantic.coverage_scope() expects:
{ summary: { files_excluded: <int> }, ... } report["excluded"] = [{"path": ...}, ...]
{ flagged_files: ["a.py", "b.py"] } report["whole_file_claims"] = [{"path": ...}, ...]
(no "excluded" key) ^ never matches -> always []
(no "whole_file_claims" key) ^ never matches -> always []

v
CoverageScope(excluded=set(), prioritised=[])
every real run -- documented skip/prioritize is a no-op
Impact
Files a maintainer explicitly excluded from spec-coverage still get semantically judged (wasted judge budget and potentially confusing findings on code deliberately opted out of), and files whose green coverage is most likely to be hiding wrong code are not prioritized as intended — undermining the pass's stated purpose.
Suggested correction
Either update generate_report() to emit excluded and whole_file_claims in the shape coverage_scope() expects, or change coverage_scope() to read the shape the report actually produces today. Add an integration test that runs the semantic pass against real generate_report() output.
How to verify
After the fix, run spec-coverage --semantic against a fixture with one excluded and one whole-file-scope-only file; confirm the excluded-skip count matches and the scope-only file's blocks are ranked ahead of others.

You're right it's inert on real reports today — and that's intentional and safe: coverage_scope degrades to an empty scope (judge everything, prioritise nothing), and the excluded[]/whole_file_claims[] schema is frozen bilaterally with the producer, whose catch-up is tracked in #107. I've softened the module docstring to say the scoping activates once the producer emits those keys (citing #107), so it no longer reads as active-today. Deliberately NOT retro-fitting the consumer to today's flagged_files shape, since that shape is slated to change under the frozen schema.

Thanks for the thorough review, @ainetx — sharp catches, several on the parts I'd just changed. All 12 are addressed in the latest push; per-thread replies have the specifics. Summary: Code

Two by design (replies on those threads): the scope arrays being empty on today's real reports is intentional and safe (empty-scope = judge everything; the schema is frozen with the producer, catch-up tracked in #107); the deeper scope-matching lands with #107 rather than coupling to today's shape.

Wire the semantic-coverage engine into cfs spec-coverage behind a --semantic opt-in flag: build pairings from marked code blocks + their resolved requirements, run the advisory engine, and attach a semantic report section plus one human line. The section is attached AFTER the structural status/exit are computed, so a semantic verdict can never gate — the headline test forces a wrong verdict and asserts the build is unchanged. Library-level pass in utils/semantic_coverage.py, CPT-traced; scope degrades gracefully when the report lacks the frozen fields. Signed-off-by: Sanjeev Solanki <sanjeev.solanki@constructor.tech>

Deep Review complete — 56 checks across 6 phases (22 required project-config rules + 34 LLM-suggested), 12 findings posted as inline comments.
11/12 verified fixed on 1e8ed1a and resolved:
- Doc output shape fully documented (incl. error shape)
--semanticnow tested against a structurally-failing run (exit 2)--helpnames the verdict categories- Judge prompt now carries a covered/partial/wrong rubric
- Duplicate file registrations deduped
- Path-relativization fallback no longer leaks an absolute path (fixes both the scope-matching bug and the judge-prompt PII leak)
- Duplicate cpt definitions now logged, not silently dropped
- Swallowed exception now logged
- Parse failures now logged instead of silently discarded
- New unmocked end-to-end test closes the "only mocked tests" CI blind spot
1 remains open by design: excluded/whole_file_claims scoping doesn't activate on real reports yet — deliberately deferred to #107 with a safe default (judge everything, prioritize nothing) and an honest docstring. Agreed this is a reasonable interim call.
All CI green, no Critical or unaddressed Major findings remain. Approving.



What
Adds an opt-in
--semanticpass tocfs spec-coveragethat wires the advisory semantic-coverage engine (utils/eval_semantic.py, landed in #105) into the command. It builds the engine's pairings from the real marked code blocks and their resolved requirements, runs the advisoryassess, and attaches asemanticsection to the JSON report plus a one-line human summary.Off by default; nothing changes unless
--semanticis passed.Why
Structural
spec-coveragescores marker density — a file can read fully covered while a block implements the wrong behaviour. This pass adds the advisory signal density can't reach: does a marked block actually implement the requirement it cites? (covered / partial / wrong / unjudgeable).Advisory — never gates
The section is attached after the structural status and exit code are computed, so a semantic verdict can never change them. Enforced structurally and tested:
wrongverdict leaves status/exit byte-for-byte unchanged.{"advisory": true, "error": …}— it can never crash the run.unjudgeable(never a silent zero); no model is called.Design notes
