Focus

• atril unified repository reader: beads focused dependency mode and history overview

Log

Session 12:55 (atril / unified reader implementation + close)

• Worked in charly/atril on the add-unified-repo-reader pipeline, following wai/bd task flow and TDD slices
• Completed and closed atril-8gs (3.1) by adding failing router tests for beads focused dependency routes, missing-dependency fallback context, and graph fallback behavior
• Implemented and closed atril-3x9 (3.2) with repository-aware beads routes (graph + focus) plus a minimal beads screen in the unified reader (src/shared/router.ts, src/main.ts, src/index.html, src/styles.css)
• Implemented and closed atril-ozc (5.2) by adding GitHubClient.getCommitHistory, history routes, a history renderer, and a first-class history screen reachable from repository overview; covered empty/error states and commit summaries
• Updated openspec/changes/add-unified-repo-reader/tasks.md to mark 3.1, 3.2, 5.1, and 5.2 complete; added wai plan notes and generated/committed a new wai handoff
• Created commits in atril: 4408ce7, 1302ffa, 4ea7b87, 9a9d4cf, 9c671c8, e754a9d
• Left unrelated local/session artifacts in atril uncommitted (.wai/pipeline-runs/..., .claude/settings.local.json, older .wai notes/research)
• Next: resume atril with atril-ys5 (4.1) for RED tests around .wai detection and grouped artifact browsing, ideally in a fresh wai prime session

Session 14:17 (dont / docs link repair + spec source cleanup)

• Worked in charly/dont on mdBook documentation quality, link validation, and public spec-source references
• Ran the rule-of-5-universal review over docs/ and applied the editorial fixes across docs/SUMMARY.md, docs/introduction.md, docs/purpose.md, docs/research.md, and docs/sources-and-status.md
• Replaced inline research-path references in docs/research.md with footnotes to GitHub links for cleaner rendered docs
• Used the doc-link-verifier workflow against deployed GitHub Pages and confirmed the dead public link was the missing dont-spec-v0_3_2.md GitHub blob reference
• Archived the monolithic spec draft into wai research as .wai/projects/dont/research/2026-04-21-dont-specification-v0-3-2-draft-post-ux-dx.md
• Repointed public docs and README.md to the live OpenSpec decomposition under openspec/changes/*/specs/ / openspec/changes instead of the dead monolithic blob link
• Committed and pushed the docs fixes in dont (6b2fe2a, f1aeab3, 32a95c5) and re-checked the deployed site until introduction.html, research.html, and sources-and-status.html showed the new live OpenSpec link
• Next: when openspec/specs/ becomes the canonical truth, update docs again to point at that stable spec tree instead of openspec/changes

Session 16:50 (dotfiles + vitral — Ptyxis transparency)

• Fixed tmux startup failure: nu shell path wrong in dot_tmux.conf.tmpl, changed to dynamic which nu via chezmoi output; committed and pushed dotfiles
• Investigated Ptyxis terminal transparency in fullscreen — found Ptyxis intentionally forces opaque in fullscreen (issue #408, May 2025)
• Created Vitral GNOME Shell extension (charly/canticos/apps/vitral/) to control Ptyxis transparency:
  • Ctrl+0 toggles opacity (0.75 ↔︎ 1.0), Ctrl+8/9 step by 0.05
  • Writes to all Ptyxis profiles via gsettings
  • Keybindings work in all GNOME Shell modes
• Attempted multiple approaches for fullscreen transparency — all hit hard walls:
  • Compositor actor.opacity → bypassed by Wayland direct scanout
  • Meta.disable_unredirect_for_display → not available in GNOME 49
  • notify::opacity enforcer + DesaturateEffect → direct scanout still bypasses
  • set_scale(0.999) to prevent unredirection → briefly works then resets
  • GTK4 CSS override → Ptyxis re-applies at higher priority; max-height/display:none not supported in GTK4 CSS
  • Fake fullscreen (maximize + hide panel) → can't hide Ptyxis CSD headerbar from outside
• Conclusion: fullscreen transparency on Wayland/Mutter is impossible without patching Ptyxis source. Other terminals (Ghostty, Kitty, Alacritty) don't have this limitation. Vitral shipped with opacity controls only.
• Removed tmux Ctrl+0 binding (replaced by Vitral extension)
• Committed and pushed both dotfiles (bcc2385) and canticos (a0b5e3c, 53cb419)
• Next: consider switching to Ghostty for fullscreen transparency; or patch Ptyxis via COPR if staying with Ptyxis

Session 17:34 (dotfiles — tmux yank to clipboard)

• Fixed tmux copy mode y/Y not reaching system clipboard — was using copy-selection-and-cancel (tmux-internal only)
• Changed to copy-pipe-and-cancel "wl-copy" for Linux/Wayland, pbcopy for macOS, with chezmoi OS templating in dot_tmux.conf.tmpl
• Applied via chezmoi apply, confirmed working
• Committed in dotfiles (5135117)

Session 17:58 (ruta / wai+bd setup and spec viewer slices)

• Worked in charly/ruta to resume from the wai handoff, scaffold the local bd workflow, and implement the first two viewer phases from plans/2026-04-21-spec-viewer-comments.org
• Committed the existing ruta scaffold as 66eac94 after verifying tests and reviewing the package/extension/state setup
• Initialized local beads with bd, created epic ruta-4hm plus child tasks .1–.4, and mirrored the GitHub viewer/comment work locally with dependencies; closed ruta-4hm.1 and ruta-4hm.2 after delivery
• Implemented Phase 1 sidecar comment data helpers in extensions/state.ts with tests in test/state.test.ts; committed as 787e32f
• Ran wai doctor, refreshed managed wai instructions with wai init, and committed beads/workflow metadata and regenerated agent docs as 237677f and f65216b
• Implemented Phase 2 read-only spec viewer: added extensions/spec-viewer.ts, wired /ruta-open-spec in extensions/ruta.ts, added test/spec-viewer.test.ts, documented smoke steps in README.md, and committed as 7cbed31
• Ran wai close, generating a fresh handoff at .wai/projects/ruta/handoffs/2026-04-21-session-end.md; repo now only has that handoff as an uncommitted change
• Next: commit the new wai handoff in ruta, then pick up ruta-4hm.3 for cursor-anchored comments inside the spec viewer

Session 18:47 (ruta / Rule-of-5 remediation — ruta-wu1 epic)

• Ran issue-review skill over ruta-wu1 epic (7 tickets); applied all findings: reformatted descriptions with real newlines, added epic-level done criteria, added source references, added manual smoke-test verification steps, wired dependency ruta-wu1.3 → ruta-wu1.5; split ruta-wu1.3 by creating ruta-wu1.7 (token lifecycle) as a blocker
• Implemented all 7 remediation tickets TDD-style (red→green→commit per ticket):
  • ruta-wu1.1: readGateSatisfied excludes scaffold placeholder lines (state.ts)
  • ruta-wu1.2: reimplementGateSatisfied is scope-aware, accepts optional scope param
  • ruta-wu1.5: getSpecSectionByRef / findSpecLineForSection exact-first matching, null on missing/ambiguous
  • ruta-wu1.7: TriageToken, createTriageToken, isValidTriageToken extracted to state.ts; testable token lifecycle
  • ruta-wu1.3: /ruta-probe now opens interactive triage UI (extensions/triage.ts) with navigate/accept/discard/quit keys
  • ruta-wu1.4: /ruta-disagree honors state.secondary_model, Jaccard-based disagreement detection, new /ruta-secondary-model command
  • ruta-wu1.6: detectPromptOverrides in extensions/prompt-integrity.ts wired to before_agent_start
• Ran rule-of-5-universal over the new implementation (NEEDS_REVISION verdict) — found: gap-write bug (discarding user edits), false-positive override pattern, empty-input disagreement false-positive, missing ctx.signal, overly broad scaffold pattern anchor, token leak on editor error
• Applied all 6 Ro5 fixes: appendMarkdown for gap persistence, removed "you are now" pattern, empty guard in detectDisagreement, signal: ctx.signal in secondary complete call, anchored scaffold regex, clearToken() in finally block
• Added end-to-end triage gap-persistence test, token-leak test, empty-input guard test, user-extended scaffold line test — 47/47 passing
• Committed all changes in ruta; closed all 7 ruta-wu1.* tickets plus ruta-wu1 epic
• Next: ruta-4hm.3 (cursor-anchored comments) is still open and ready

Session 18:17 (atril / unified reader — navigation, refactoring, CI)

• Completed atril-nit (5.3): path-aware history navigation from file, WAI, and history views — three entry points wired to existing showHistoryView(path)
• Completed atril-k6t (3.3): issue-to-artifact navigation for resolvable references — new issue-reference.ts module extracting markdown links and openspec shorthand names from issue text
• Ran Rule of 5 review on 3.3 changes; applied 3 fixes: removed redundant kind field from IssueReference, tightened loose test assertion, added comment documenting ID-only limitation
• Completed atril-2zt (6.1): Tidy First refactoring — extracted shared escapeHtml to html-utils.ts, unified LinkStatus in link-resolver.ts, consolidated 4 back-button handlers into 1 loop (net -36 lines)
• Verified all 5 remaining openspec tasks already have beads tickets; marked 3.3, 5.3, 6.1 complete in tasks.md — progress now 20/23 (87%)
• Extracted GitHub Pages deploy from ci.yml into separate docs.yml workflow; deploy still fails until Pages is enabled in repo settings
• Next: enable GitHub Pages in repo settings; pick up atril-noh (6.2 — README/docs update) or validation tasks (5.4, 4.4, 3.4)

Session 19:21 (wai / way checks, tdd-ro5 pipeline, managed block refactor)

• Added wai way check "Specs in deployed docs" — verifies docs CI workflow includes openspec/ in the build (fe55567)
• Fixed 6 pre-existing prek test failures by scoping git_core_hooks_path to --local only — global gitconfig was leaking into temp repos (84dd2ee)
• Created built-in tdd-ro5 pipeline template — 7-step TDD+Ro5 workflow (plan→red→green→refactor→review→fix→ship) with actual enforcement gates: structural minimums, tests-pass oracle, procedural review with max_critical=0 (d6cdc26)
• Refactored managed block for progressive disclosure: slim ~40-line block in CLAUDE.md (tools, quick start, pipeline table, pointer) + detailed .wai/AGENTS.md with full reference; updated doctor staleness checks and excluded managed file from wai search (f377690)
• Investigated pipeline adoption gap: zero pipeline runs ever started across any agent session; identified root causes (passive discovery, no gates on scientific-research, no agent rules)
• Released v2026.4.7 — all 875 tests passing, pushed with tag
• Next: run wai init in wai repo itself to apply the new slim block; add tests-pass oracle scaffold to wai pipeline init tdd-ro5 flow; consider adding pipeline state to wai prime output
