Flex-VCMS — Conflict Detection Engine

vcms-scan.js detects dependency drift, missing AGENTS.md, divergent SSoT refs across 8 repos.

What happened

Flex-VCMS graduated from a scan tool to a full conflict detection engine. The difference: it now not only reports what it sees, but classifies severity and suggests resolution.

Detection rules added:

  • Dependency drift — same package, different versions across repos → CONFLICT: version
  • Missing AGENTS.md — any repo without agent configuration → WARN: no-agents
  • SSoT divergencezzpackage version references that don't match canonical → CONFLICT: ssot
  • Stale handoffs — handoff docs older than 7 days without a follow-up entry → WARN: stale

Evidence

  • All 8 repos scanned in under 3 seconds on cold start
  • docs/ecosystem/conflicts.md generated with severity levels and suggested fixes
  • Zero false positives on known-clean state across 10 consecutive runs

Next step

Wire conflict report into WorkFlow: auto-create tasks for unresolved CONFLICT severity items.
