fix: eliminate waived disposition — file or reclassify (kaizen #198)#258
Conversation
Remove "waived" as a valid KAIZEN_IMPEDIMENTS disposition for all finding types. The agent doing the waiving is the same agent evaluating the waiver — guardrails don't fix motivated reasoning. New policy: - Impediments: filed | incident | fixed-in-pr (no waiving) - Meta-findings: filed | fixed-in-pr (no waiving) - Positive findings: no-action (with reason) — for non-friction - If something isn't friction, reclassify as type "positive" Changes: - pr-kaizen-clear.sh: reject "waived" with clear guidance to file or reclassify. Remove waiver blocklist and impact_minutes enforcement (no longer needed when waiving is eliminated entirely). - kaizen-reflect.sh: update format examples and guidance text - enforce-pr-kaizen.sh: update format examples - kaizen-bg.md: update results format - SKILL.md: replace waiver quality section with no-waiver policy - gap-analysis SKILL.md: update disposition references - zen.md: add "A mechanism you can't reach" aphorism Tests: 88/88 pass in test-pr-kaizen-clear.sh, 19/19 in test-waiver-quality.sh, all 38 test files green. batch-260321-1108-3ef8/run-4 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
type: "positive"withdisposition: "no-action"Why: The agent doing the waiving is the same agent evaluating the waiver. Blocklists and impact_minutes checks don't fix motivated reasoning — a checkbox doesn't prevent rationalization. Removing the option entirely eliminates the problem.
Closes #198 in Garsson-io/kaizen
