Lexery - Drift Radar
Drift means: documented intent, tooling, or org rhythm no longer matches observable reality. This page lists active contradictions so they are not silently normalized into “probably fine.”
Companion pages: Lexery - Open Questions and Drift (narrative), Lexery - Unknowns Queue (investigation backlog), Lexery - Current State (snapshot).
Severity legend
- P0 — blocks correct operation, security, or revenue truth.
- P1 — degrades predictability of delivery or observability.
- P2 — process or naming debt that compounds if ignored.
Active items
1. Branch divergence — P1
legal-agent-brain-devis 12 commits ahead oforigin/legal-agent-brain-dev, with significant unstaged local change.origin/devcarries frontend / auth / plan work not present on the brain-focused line.- Risk: duplicated fixes, skewed code review assumptions, and “works on my machine” integration gaps.
Navigate: Lexery - Branch Divergence, Lexery - Repo Constellation, Lexery - GitHub History.
2. Stabilization milestone overdue — P1
- LEX-139 stabilization cycle was due 2026-03-08; reported progress ~25%.
- Many sub-issues look addressed in code but remain open in Linear — classic execution–tracking drift.
Navigate: Lexery - Linear Roadmap, Lexery - PR Chronology.
3. Sprint cadence lost — P2
- No active cycles since Feb 2026; work continues ad hoc without time-boxing.
- Risk: priority inflation (everything “urgent”) and weak forecasting for partner or customer comms.
Navigate: Lexery - Team and Operating Model.
4. ORCH not in production — P1
ORCH_ENABLED=trueappears dev-only in current understanding.- Needs production-shadow or canary traffic before trusting branch decisions under real load.
Navigate: Lexery - ORCH and Clarification, Lexery - Decision Registry, Lexery - Deployment and Infra.
5. codex/legal-rag-foundation branch — P2
- Referenced in wiki lineage; not found in some local clones — may be deleted remotely or never fetched.
- Action: confirm on GitHub remote and either archive the reference or document the replacement branch.
Navigate: Lexery - Branch codex legal-rag-foundation, Lexery - Legacy Branch Families.
6. LLDBI nreg case sensitivity — P2
- Manual inspection confusion between
ВРvsвр(and similar) breaks mental models even when code paths are strict. - Risk: false “missing act” conclusions during ops and content QA.
Navigate: Lexery - LLDBI Surface, Lexery - Glossary.
7. Public trace incompleteness — P1
- Not all stages emit matched
stage_started/stage_completedpairs. - Risk: customer-facing run timelines and internal postmortems show false gaps or false confidence.
Navigate: Lexery - Public Trace, Lexery - Contracts and Run Schema.
8. Document Memory unassigned — P1
- LEX-163 … LEX-170 (eight issues): high priority, no owner.
- Risk: MM/Docs path stays fragile while product promises attach to “memory.”
Navigate: Lexery - Memory and Documents, Lexery - Linear Roadmap.
9. Priority inflation — P2
- ~61% of Linear issues marked Urgent/High — when everything is urgent, triage signals collapse.
Navigate: Lexery - Team and Operating Model, Lexery - Linear Roadmap.
10. No release / deploy tagging — P1
- No visible GitHub Releases, no crisp production branch story, no deploy versioning in one place.
- Risk: incident response and customer support cannot answer “what shipped when.”
Navigate: Lexery - Deployment and Infra, Lexery - API and Control Plane.
How this page stays honest
- Each item should eventually resolve into either a closed Linear issue, a doc update, or a move to Lexery - Unknowns Queue if it was a false alarm.
- Weekly automation (see Lexery - Maintenance Runbook) should append new contradictions rather than duplicating narrative from Lexery - Open Questions and Drift.
