/* FNXC:WorkflowLifecycleColumns 2026-07-30-22:20 (Phase C convergence — AST classifier): WHY AN AST AND NOT A REGEX. Three people measured the remaining lifecycle-column work with three greps and got three answers (6, 8, 12 role-bucket sites). A regex cannot tell a lifecycle-column comparison from an agent role, a session purpose, a surface name, a step status, or a comment — so no grep-derived number is authoritative, however careful the pattern. This module parses instead. WHAT THE PARSER BUYS, concretely, over the text census next to it: - comments are not tokens, so prose about an old guard cannot be counted (the text version needed a comment stripper, and a bug in that stripper let ONE marker launder FOUR live guards); - the receiver is a real expression, so `t.column`, `live?.column`, `String(task.status)` and `tasks[i].column` all resolve without a hand-tuned pattern per shape; - sibling comparisons are found by walking the ENCLOSING expression rather than a line window, so a multi-line `||` chain is one unit and an unrelated line four rows away is not. WHAT IT STILL CANNOT DO, stated plainly rather than implied: without a full type-checker program it cannot prove a receiver is column-typed. So classification remains evidence-based — the receiver's name plus the vocabulary its siblings use — and the three non-column classes are reported SEPARATELY rather than netted, so a wrong classification is visible instead of silently changing the bar. Two independent implementations agreeing on 12 role sites is the strongest evidence available; one number from one grep is the weakest. CLASSES (only the first is backlog): column — a lifecycle-column guard. role — AgentRole / session purpose / surface. Converting one is a real bug: the planner LANE is named `triage` and keeps that name; U11 removed the COLUMN. status — StepStatus / mission / goal / feature status. `done`, `in-progress` and `archived` collide with column ids; `pending` and `skipped` never do. deliberate — reviewed literal carrying a DELIBERATE-LITERAL marker in its leading comments. */ import { createRequire } from "node:module"; import { readFileSync } from "node:fs"; const require = createRequire(import.meta.url); const ts = require("typescript"); /** The legacy lifecycle column vocabulary — the ids that shipped as the builtin board. */ export const LEGACY_COLUMN_IDS = ["triage", "todo", "in-progress", "in-review", "done", "archived"]; /** Receiver names that denote an agent role / lane rather than a task column. */ export const ROLE_RECEIVER_TOKENS = [ "role", "agentType", "agent", "lane", "capability", "sessionPurpose", "surface", "purpose", "agentRole", ]; /* Values that belong to ONE vocabulary only, and therefore identify which vocabulary an expression is matching regardless of what its variable is called. `AgentRole` is `triage | executor | reviewer | merger` and `StepStatus` is `pending | in-progress | done | skipped`; the members below are never column ids.
