Provenance Validate Command

Validate provenance records against the PROV schema and verify chain integrity.

Instructions

When invoked, validate provenance:

1. Load records

   • Scan .aiwg/research/provenance/records/ for all .prov.yaml files
   • If specific path provided, validate only that record

2. Schema validation

   • Validate each record against @$AIWG_ROOT/agentic/code/frameworks/sdlc-complete/schemas/provenance/prov-record.yaml
   • Check required fields: entity.id, activity.id, agent.id
   • Verify URN format compliance
   • Verify timestamps are valid ISO-8601

3. Entity resolution

   • For each entity URN, verify the referenced file exists
   • Flag orphaned records (file deleted but provenance remains)
   • Detect untracked artifacts (files in tracked directories without provenance)

4. Chain integrity

   • Verify wasDerivedFrom sources exist and have their own provenance
   • Check bidirectional links (forward references have matching back-references)
   • Detect broken chains (missing intermediate records)

5. Completeness check

   • Scan .aiwg/ directories for artifacts without provenance records
   • Calculate coverage percentage
   • List untracked artifacts

6. Fix mode (--fix)

   • Remove orphaned provenance records
   • Create stub records for untracked artifacts
   • Add missing bidirectional references

7. Report

   • Display validation results table
   • Show pass/fail/warning counts
   • List specific issues with remediation steps

Arguments

• [path] - Specific record or directory to validate (default: all records)
• --all - Validate all records and check completeness
• --strict - Treat warnings as errors
• --fix - Auto-fix issues where possible
• --report [path] - Save validation report to file
