[EPIC] Semantic Handshake: Closing the Context Drift Gap #483
Description
🎯 The "Context Drift" Problem
Pedro validated that SYNAPSE handles context injection, and Claude handles compression. However, there is a gap between Intent Definition (Planning) and Intent Execution (Development).
When a story moves from @architect to @dev, constraints can be "compressed away" or ignored. The @dev might choose a library that contradicts the Architecture Doc simply because it was the path of least resistance.
🛠 Solution: The Semantic Handshake Protocol
A middleware layer that treats Architectural Decisions as Code, not just comments.
How it works:
Constraint Extraction: During Planning, the engine scans docs for "Hard Constraints" (Tech Stack, Security Patterns).
Intent Lock: These constraints are converted into executable validators (Assertions).
Pre-Execution Gate: Before @dev writes code, the engine runs a "Semantic Diff". If the code violates a constraint, the execution is blocked and a correction prompt is injected.
📈 Impact on AIOS
Zero Context Drift: Guarantees that "Serverless Architecture" in the PRD results in Serverless Code.
Automated Governance: The @architect gains "supervisory power" over the @dev without human intervention.
Trust: Stakeholders know that what was planned is exactly what is built.
