Documentation-only. Consolidates the EasyCLA → LFX Self Serve migration docs now that M1 and M2 are implemented and M3 has started, and fixes milestone numbering left stale by the 2026-09-01 renumbering.

This is the first of two PRs. The second adds a root ARCHITECTURE.md (target architecture for M1–M3) plus a CODEOWNERS guard — the forward links to ARCHITECTURE.md added here resolve once that lands.

Consolidation

The M1 and M2 working directories had accumulated ~28 restatements of the same 7 facts across 5 files. Each milestone's durable facts now live in its milestone brief:

Was Now
m1-my-cla/{spec,plan,data-model,contracts/} folded into 01-milestone-read-only-me-lens-fable.md as an As-built record
m2-sign-cla-handoff/{spec,plan} folded into 02-milestone-sign-cla-fable.md
m2-sign-cla-handoff/status-matrix.md moved to docs/MY_CLAS_STATUS_MATRIX.md (git tracks it as a rename, history preserved)
m2-sign-cla-handoff/research.md, checklists/requirements.md, docs/easycla-ss-migration/spike-runbook.md deleted as superseded

The status matrix was kept and promoted to docs/ rather than folded in: it is the single source of truth for the status a My CLAs row shows, and is cited from several lfx-self-serve tickets and from PR review on this repo.

Facts worth keeping that only the deleted files carried explicitly were folded in, not dropped:

  • the shipped endpoint/PR table, SS server routes, and the identity-key trust model (trusted vs. untrusted caller, and that SS is on the untrusted path as deployed);
  • the status column is M2, not M1 — M1 shipped Project / Type / Signed / Document and rendered no status;
  • the record classification rule (signature_type of both cla and ecla, then split on company-ID presence);
  • that the three manager actions are scoped differently from one another, so "invalid row" and "row with an action" are not the same set;
  • what was deliberately not built (GET /v4/users/by-identity, and GET /v4/signatures/user/{userID} avoided because it does no per-user ownership check).

Field-level API detail already lived in the maintained docs/MY_CLAS_API.md, which covers it more thoroughly than the deleted data-model.md did; the SS-side TypeScript view models belong in lfx-self-serve.

Numbering and status corrections

  • role-mapping-feasibility.md carried a header telling readers to "subtract one" from milestone numbers in §6 and the option tables. Those sections are now on the current numbering (4× stale M6M5; the org-lens design consequences in §6.1 M4M3), and the instruction is dropped. Analysis and verdicts are unchanged.
  • 03-milestone-ccla-org-lens-fable.md: Draft → In progress. Retiring the Corporate CLA Console and its GraphQL BFF remains committed for M3.
  • The remaining M6 mentions elsewhere are renumbering-history notes and are intentionally left as-is.

Program scope

Every program and milestone doc now states that the program aims to complete M1–M3, and that M4 and M5 are not planned yet — they stay decision-gated design options retained for reference, not committed scope.

Verification

All relative links in the touched files were checked to resolve; the only remaining unresolved targets are the intentional forward references to ARCHITECTURE.md. No code changes, so no build/test impact.

Fold the M1 and M2 working directories into their milestone briefs and
correct milestone numbering left stale by the 2026-09-01 renumbering.

Consolidation:
- Fold m1-my-cla/ (spec, plan, data-model, upstream contract) into
  01-milestone-read-only-me-lens-fable.md as an "As-built record":
  shipped endpoints and PRs, SS server routes, identity-key trust model,
  the status-column-is-M2 clarification, the record classification rule,
  and what was deliberately not built.
- Fold m2-sign-cla-handoff/ spec and plan into
  02-milestone-sign-cla-fable.md, adding the per-action scoping rule
  (the three manager actions are scoped differently from one another).
- Move m2-sign-cla-handoff/status-matrix.md to
  docs/MY_CLAS_STATUS_MATRIX.md, keeping it as the single source of
  truth for the status a My CLAs row shows (it is cited from
  lfx-self-serve tickets and PR review).
- Delete m2-sign-cla-handoff/research.md, checklists/requirements.md,
  and docs/easycla-ss-migration/spike-runbook.md as superseded.

Numbering and status corrections:
- role-mapping-feasibility.md: bring section 6 and section 6.1 onto the
  current numbering (four stale M6 -> M5, org-lens design consequences
  M4 -> M3) and drop the "subtract one" reading instruction now that no
  section mixes schemes.
- 03-milestone: Draft -> In progress; retiring the Corporate CLA Console
  and its GraphQL BFF stays committed for M3.

Program scope:
- State in the program docs and each milestone brief that the program
  aims to complete M1-M3, and that M4 and M5 are not planned yet.

Link hygiene: repoint every reference to the removed paths, and add
forward references to the ARCHITECTURE.md roll-up that follows.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

The update consolidates EasyCLA specification links, aligns milestone terminology, records M1/M2 implementation details, marks M3 as in progress, and limits planned scope to M1–M3. Superseded runbooks and milestone artifacts were removed.

Changes

EasyCLA documentation alignment

Layer / File(s) Summary
Program scope and milestone records
specs/001-easycla-ss-integration-fable/*
Milestone documents now define M1–M3 as planned scope, mark M3 in progress, document shipped M1/M2 behavior, and identify M4/M5 as unplanned options.
Architecture references and milestone mapping
docs/MY_CLAS_API.md, docs/MY_CLAS_STATUS_MATRIX.md, docs/easycla-ss-migration/*
Documentation now uses consolidated specification links, current milestone numbering, reviewed-record terminology, and the shipped M1 resolution. Superseded migration and specification artifacts were removed.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 46142

This documentation update clarifies the EasyCLA migration scope and milestone records, but remaining inconsistent scope, terminology, and revision-history statements could mislead implementation and planning decisions. Resolve these documentation conflicts before merge.

docs/MY_CLAS_STATUS_MATRIX.md:3

  • FR-010 in the linked program spec is the requirement to keep the PR remediation link on the Contributor Console, not the status model. The five-value row status is FR-015, so the promoted matrix currently identifies the wrong parent requirement.

Changes Made

  • docs/MY_CLAS_API.md: renumbered two stale forward references from M6 to M5 (flagged by copilot-pull-request-reviewer)
  • docs/easycla-ss-migration/role-mapping-feasibility.md: replaced the leftover "milestone 04" reference with current numbering (flagged by copilot-pull-request-reviewer)
  • specs/.../02-milestone-sign-cla-fable.md: corrected the cla-manager-requests contract — verified in cla-backend-go/v2/my_clas/service.go that the handler returns a generated request ID and logs a best-effort audit event, and persists no request record (flagged by copilot-pull-request-reviewer)
  • docs/easycla-ss-migration/architecture-proposal.md: corrected the milestone status table (M3 in progress, M4/M5 not planned) and added the program-scope note (flagged by coderabbitai)
  • specs/.../01-milestone-read-only-me-lens-fable.md: "approval-list changes" → "Approved List changes" (flagged by coderabbitai)

Partially Applied

  • role-mapping-feasibility.md terminology: the two remaining "approval-list" occurrences are the literal API path segment PUT …/approval-list and a URL inside a spike instruction. Renaming those would make the document incorrect, so they were left as-is.

  • The linked program spec defines FR-010 as the PR-remediation-link requirement; the five-value row status is FR-015. As written, the promoted status matrix points readers to an unrelated requirement, so this identifier should be updated.
