Session:10:17 (specodelic: epic-orchestrator autonomous run — 68m epic completed end-to-end)

• Ran 7 consecutive epic-orchestrator runs autonomously (user instruction: continue until the epic is complete), each via the 7-step pipeline (select → gates → brief → spawn-subagent → verify → ship → stop), one ticket per run, everything pushed:
  • specodelic-68m.2 (§1.3 TIDY): shared aggregate pipeline — orchestrate::run_claim_gated_model_check + verify::evaluate_file_verdicts (ca28f97); zero behavior change.
  • specodelic-68m.3 (§2.1/2.2 RED+GREEN): scope-bound versioned claim reports — claim_schema_version=1, canonical scope_sha256, verify freshness gate recompute, isolated_scope_required preflight (b410f7a); 11 new fixtures, RED evidence recorded.
  • specodelic-68m.4 (§2.3 TIDY): one D3 claim-field derivation verify::report_claim_fields (fd3d1e0).
  • specodelic-68m.5 (§3.1/3.2 RED+GREEN): report-view claim parity + docs-consistency ratchet (version literals vs Cargo metadata); README/status/project.md/specs/STATUS/guide synced (cbcf08d); also fixed pre-existing scratch-runner flake (~1-in-4 → 12× clean).
  • specodelic-68m.6 (§3.3 TIDY): docs point to canonical README assurance statement (17ab221).
  • specodelic-gch (kernel §6.1): USAGE.md examples → kernel invariants, live-extracted fixtures, 0 lint exemptions (aa21795/ddf80a1).
  • specodelic-7yk (kernel §6.2): 4 eligible specodelic.md invariants migrated, 19 honestly unchecked, Revision 16 intact (0fd474c).
  • specodelic-5c4 (§6.3 TIDY): eligibility decisions recorded in corpus prose (19442c6).
  • specodelic-bxk (kernel §7): FORMAT_REVISION 16→17, 28 scenario contracts, dual-format archive of add-min-expr-kernel → openspec/specs/kernel/spec.md (4d8181b→ea87a60).
  • specodelic-68m.7 (§4 release discipline): claim-gate Constraints in model_check.md/verify.md, 10 scenario contracts, dual-format archive of define-verification-claim-gates → openspec/specs/verification-claims/spec.md (93fb322→e133817).
• Epic specodelic-68m CLOSED — 12/12 tasks, both openspec changes archived via the sanctioned dual-format recipe, new deployed capabilities kernel + verification-claims.
• Gates at HEAD: just ci green (243 contract tests, 0 findings), openspec validate --all --strict 25/25, corpus lint 0 findings, ah doctor clean.
• Parallel session throughout: gre.1–gre.8 (add-graph-views) landing interleaved commits in the shared worktree — never staged its files (commit hygiene); coordinated via beads metadata conflict checks.
• Environment gotchas hit: /tmp quota exhausted mid-session (worked around with TMPDIR=/var/tmp/spk-tmp); wai --reviews flag wants filename not path; pipeline start topic→run-id slug mismatch requires re-exporting the actual run id.
• Unresolved (parked): 8e0156d commit-message force-push amendment (j8q→167) needs user authorization; specodelic-0jg tap publish blocked on TAP_GITHUB_TOKEN; parallel session owns unpushed c44e5e8 (gre.8 close).
• Next: next specodelic session should pick up remaining ready beads (d8c Reference Typing rule, 7c7 model_present wording, dzn shape mirror) — or min-expr-kernel wrap if any phase residue.

Session:11:03 (orchestrator pattern → wai change proposal → tickets; meta-reviews rule-of-5)

• Pattern constraints check: ~/.wai/resources/patterns/orchestrator-subagents.md canon has NO 40%-context cap on implementors (that rule lives in AGENTS.md for the lead); resumability = artifact-level (named sessions, new-named-session retries, never in-place resume) — canon worked once this week (tambor-cn2 t2-events wedge → t2-events-retry success).
• Week forensics (21 spawns, 5 repos): peak context ≈310K incl. cacheRead (input alone understates 2.4×); 68m.4 NOT closed despite report claims (verified via beads — Invariant 5 in action); zero compactions; brief-scoping is the real context control. Corrected numbers recorded in turu global ~/.whisper/rules.md (id baf7d8f3).
• charly/tv transcript sweep (~1,300 files, 7 corpora): corpus validates most canon invariants (Bitso 8-PR incident ↔︎ STOP boundary; CodeRabbit gaslighting ↔︎ verify-before-trust; Pomelo versioned plugin ↔︎ Invariant 8) but exposes a doctrine gap: Inngest/Restate durable-external-state + exact-point resume vs canon's scratch-restart retries. Etsy harness numbers: 52.4→76.2 same model.
• Rule-of-5 reviews ×3 (TypeSafe verification when key present): caught own first-pass errors (68m.4 status, 2.4× context understatement, 100K-threshold misfire) — measured FP rate 0%.
• Placement decision: improvements live in wai pipeline + brief template (Invariant 8 pre-delegates), NOT canon (user declined canon edit); distribution gap is the gating fix (epic-orchestrator.toml exists in specodelic only).
• wai project orchestrator-tooling created (~/.wai/projects/): committed evidence-base research + change proposal (C1 distribution, C2 durable state, C3 brief schema, C4 isolation verify).
• OpenSpec change add-epic-orchestrator-template created in charly/wai (proposal/design/spec deltas on pipeline-resource/tasks 1–5), validated --strict. Rule-of-5 review of the change fixed the stale-sha happy-path bug (drift check now retry-entry only, TypeSafe-verified).
• 6 beads tickets created in charly/wai: wai-t2ar (T1 registration) → wai-wvjz (T2 state) ∥ wai-3eo0 (T3 brief) → wai-979g (T4 verify) → wai-hr0w (T5 docs/tests) → wai-qjcz (T6 tidy). Issue-review pass 0–5 applied: metadata.files + base_commit anchors + afk labels + missing T5←T4 dep all fixed; verdict READY.
• End state (per last exchange): any repo can wai pipeline init epic-orchestrator; tooling refuses bad spawns (no state/committed brief/fixed token count); retries resume from state; reports verified by named read-only cross-model verifier.
• Not done (parked): canon edits (user decision), AGENTS.md TDD-for-agents experiment, Bitso identity-scoping proposal, actual implementation of T1–T6.
• Next: branch feat/epic-orchestrator-template in charly/wai (repo currently on feat/global-resources-observability with unrelated uncommitted work), commit the openspec change docs there, then claim wai-t2ar.

Session:11:04 (specodelic: graph CLI terminal-viz review + deployed-docs mermaid fix)

• Rule-of-5 review of spk graph terminal-viz capability (rule-of-5-universal skill): wiring view is terminal-perfect (17-node star); full corpus graph is 743 nodes / 1008 edges — not viable as terminal art, query it via --format edges | grep or render dot -Tsvg to browser. Working recipes recorded: (a) zero-dep awk over wiring TSV, (b) graph-easy --as=boxart over DOT — graph-easy NOT in homebrew, installed from cpan to ~/.cpan/build/Graph-Easy-0.76-0 (needs PERL5LIB export), (c) full graph → dot -Tsvg.
• Confirmed specodelic-0zk live: bad path → exit 0, empty stdout (silent success) — hit it firsthand running from /tmp; pipelines silently consume empty data. Also wiring TSV column order differs from edges TSV (consumer-first vs producer-first) — awk recipes transpose silently; doc gap belongs to s64.
• Deployed docs fix (user request: "check graph-views.html"): all 4 mermaid views rendered as plain code — book.toml had NO mermaid preprocessor/assets. Fixed via mdbook-mermaid 0.17.1: preprocessor + additional-js → vendor/{mermaid.min.js,mermaid-init.js}; rebuilt book verified (scripts + 4 class="mermaid" elements).
• Pretender gate interplay (the interesting part): pre-commit lints tracked .js via --staged which BYPASSES the vendor/** exclude — 2.6k-line minified bundle can never pass a ratchet for project code; [thresholds.vendor] block is NOT supported (roles test/script/library only). Resolution: mermaid.min.js UNTRACKED (.gitignore), fetched by new just docs-mermaid recipe pinned to [email protected] (mdbook-mermaid's bundled version, hash/size parity checked), wired into docs-build AND docs.yml (lockstep pattern); mermaid-init.js (39 lines) stays tracked. CI also got cargo install mdbook-mermaid --locked.
• Committed d09855b, pushed (3a1cb0d..d09855b main); commit hygiene held — foreign WIP in worktree (src/commands, tests/cli, .wai, pretender.toml from the 4v1 session) left unstaged.
• Next: verify rendered diagrams visually on the deployed Pages site after CI runs; 0zk exit-code fix and s64 docs gap (graph flags + wiring TSV column note) remain open in beads.

Session:~14:00 (specodelic: bug-fix sweep orchestrated — 3 of 7 landed)

• Orchestrated the 7-ticket bug sweep via epic-orchestrator (one run per ticket, subagent tdd-ro5 implementation, orchestrator verifies by gates + repro meters):
  • specodelic-4v1 (F1): failures never ride success-shaped envelopes — refuted claim exits 1 with error envelope; compile/verify/orchestrate emit ok:false on labeled failure (c81d9af).
  • specodelic-m6k (F2): kernel::grammar_failures pre-run guard — standalone model-check on a stale compile fails labeled instead of silently demoting to unchecked (7d3250a).
  • specodelic-54v: migrate mirror aggregates ADDED+MODIFIED (matching requirement_drift); duplicate headings refuse labeled exit 2 (530b798).
• All three CLOSED + pushed (through 475b112); just ci + ah check green at each HEAD, verified in isolated worktrees with independent repro meters.
• Follow-ups filed: specodelic-dlf (openspec MODIFIED mirror_byte_identical), specodelic-7i7 (section_span_from panic).
• Remaining in sweep: efb (P2), 0zk, 7gh, ils (P3) — stopped at context threshold; resume via /renew.

Session:~16:30 (specodelic: bug-fix sweep COMPLETE — 7/7)

• Resumed the sweep and finished runs 4-7: efb (ffb3e87, intern canonical row ids for member-path targets), 0zk (5b2f5fe + 4ac6cf5 views-purity integration fix, projection exits 2/1 per errors.md), 7gh (d55442e, Kleene-with-reasons — unknown claim records carry reasons naming the bad id), ils (047ab06, B1 hint routing by exception type + B2 mermaid_escape python/rust mirrors + B4 docstring).
• ils spawn aborted mid-run; verified its edits piece-by-piece with the user and committed (python suite 109 OK, just ci 243 OK).
• All 7 sweep tickets CLOSED + pushed (through 2f77748); zero bug-labeled tickets remain open.
• Follow-ups filed during the sweep: dlf, 7i7, 39w, 60e, nkg. Related ready: s64 (v0.6 docs readiness), d8c, 7c7, dzn.

Session:~18:15 (specodelic: v0.6.0 RELEASED)

• Orchestrated specodelic-s64 (docs readiness): subagent 0e1e98e closed D1/D2/F9/U1/U2 + ils B5; all four meter greps pass; just ci green in isolated worktree.
• Release prep 21282ab: Cargo 0.6.0, version literals, CHANGELOG #123 release entry.
• Tagged v0.6.0 (user-authorized) → Release workflow green: GitHub release with 5 binary targets + checksums; crates.io published; tap/scoop skipped (TAP_GITHUB_TOKEN absent, specodelic-0jg HITL — tap 3 releases behind).
• Gotcha logged: TMPDIR must exist before cargo test; docs/src/release.md is generated.

Session:~16:00 (tambor: tambor-272 — pretender hotspots + gate restore)

• Resumed via /renew; claimed tambor-272 (restore pretender gate mode before the 2026-11-08 lease).
• src/ refactored: paths.ts::walk (cyclo 116) → acyclic dispatch family (paths-core/walk/specials/navigators); render paint/build/draw + todo draw → per-type painter tables (canvas-painters.ts, painter.ts, matrix.ts); views/model → nodes + geometry (table-dispatched queries); component.ts → + component-cache.ts; makeApp/makeRef/topEventHandler/recognize/pinBody/mobileTodoView decomposed.
• tests/: 10 oversized files split into topic files, every it name byte-identical (--testNamePattern bindings); walkers decomposed to test-role thresholds; shared helpers in tests/helpers/*.testaruda store reset → 325 items.
• Gates restored: pretender --mode gate in lefthook pre-push + CI, 2026-11-08 advisory lease dropped; pushed 72ad093 through all four green gates (ah contracts 658, pretender gate 0.40s, testaruda-exec, scaffold-debt). tambor-272 CLOSED.
• Gotchas learned: verify with git add && pretender check --staged --mode gate (per-file checks miss test-role thresholds); grep for ✗ misses ANSI-wrapped lines; pipeline exit codes lie — capture directly; first testaruda exec after a store reset exits 10 (uncalibrated), the second exits 0.
• Next: tambor-cpd (P3, 7 junit-unmatched results/calibration) or post-tracer epic-plan feature work.

Session:16:35 (specodelic: Revision 18 + spk migrate --rekey + v0.7.0 RELEASED)

• Worked specodelic-mcy (P0 format revision) to done: Revision 18 — spec.md derives its id from its parent directory (openspec/specs/ge-cli/spec.md → id: ge.cli), id: spec retired. dual_format_valid no longer polices the id; total_refs resolves corpus-wide (self-containment + bare-local arm removed across linter/graph/acset/observability); scope law folded isolated_scope_required into duplicate_corpus_identity (strictly stronger — same-id pairs refused outright). spk new targets openspec/specs/<id>/spec.md; spk migrate scaffolds real derived ids. FORMAT_REVISION 17→18; corpus Revision 18 heading; repo's openspec tree migrated (deployed specs real-id'd, archived deltas' frontmatter stripped as frozen evidence, boilerplate lifecycle models anchored with process_lifecycle invariants — the old cleanliness rode the shared id: spec intent node). OpenSpec change update-id-derivation-spec-md + espectacular contracts remapped. ac91e4e, just ci green, ah check 244 passed.
• User chose the --rekey migration helper over a release-notes recipe: spk migrate <file> --rekey shipped (d94a38e) — rewrites an id: spec dual-format file to its real id in place, re-keys [[spec.*]] refs, idempotent no-op on already-real files, refusals (plain delta / undeducible id) never rewrite. migrate capability spec extended (ADDED requirement + scenarios + contracts); dogfood sweep: zero repo files needed it. ah check 264 passed.
• User authorized the release: v0.7.0 PUBLISHED (Cargo 0.7.0, CHANGELOG #125, README/status literals, tag pushed, crates.io).
• Incident: fsmonitor silent data loss. cargo publish refused with 22 "uncommitted" archived files while git status claimed clean — core.fsmonitor (from /etc/gitconfig) served a stale cache after the Python migration rewrote files, so git add openspec/ in ac91e4e silently dropped 24 archived-file strips. libgit2 (no fsmonitor) caught what git missed. Fixed: fsmonitor disabled repo-wide, strips landed verified (397684c), bd remember recorded the rule (git -c core.fsmonitor=false status after scripted bulk rewrites).
• Rollout follow-ups filed: specodelic-jf1 (P1, specs/ corpus → single tree), specodelic-bhp (P2, tambor re-key + archive-companion decision). Checkbox-sync ticket 410 closed.
• Next: specodelic-jf1 single-tree migration (then justfile gates + docs paths move with it); tap still 4 releases behind (specodelic-0jg, TAP_GITHUB_TOKEN HITL).

Session:17:07 (ddl: v0.8.0 RELEASED — init-UX epic shipped)

• User asked to complete the release ignoring homebrew/scoop: bumped to 0.8.0 (Cargo/lock, versions.ddl.toml self-pin, README status, version-assert test), wrote CHANGELOG 0.8.0 entry covering DDL-6zn.2–.8 (init --gates, init cascade hard failures, envelope contract, repo-aware doctor, feedback docs, migrate git-safety, naming/alias resolution).
• PR #56 merged (CI pass); tag v0.8.0 pushed → Release workflow all-green including Publish Release; GitHub release non-draft with all 6 assets (4 tar.gz, windows zip, checksums.txt); crates.io max_version 0.8.0.
• Homebrew/scoop steps in release.yml marked continue-on-error: true (TAP_GITHUB_TOKEN still empty, DDL-2um) — can no longer fail the run; binaries/release/crates.io unaffected (v0.5–v0.8 pattern confirmed).
• Runner flake: first run's Linux job wedged ~30min on "Install aarch64 cross-compile toolchain" (apt); cancel + gh run rerun finished clean in ~5min. Logged to repo whisper notes.
• Closed DDL-6zn epic (all 7 children shipped, PRs #49–#55). DDL-2um stays open (tap/scoop secret, HITL). beads export + whisper notes pushed; main up to date.
• Next: nothing blocking — DDL-2um (TAP_GITHUB_TOKEN secret) remains the only release-adjacent follow-up, user-deferred.

Session:18:10 (nix/devenv investigation → Bluefin constraint → devenv shipped in 4 repos)

• Read ghuntley.com/nix/ (devenv.sh as single source of truth for dev+CI+agent-sandbox; overlays; runNixOSTest) and mined 98 historical pi session dirs for env-drift pain: per-tool "command not found" counts (openspec ×14, ah_check ×24, Rscript ×11, ddl ×7, just ×5 — 1437 aggregate overcounts, bash quoting errors + ~20 live-session self-hits), brew-vs-cargo PATH shadowing, MSRV drift (icu 2.3.0 needs rustc 1.88 vs 1.85 pin), bd with no versioned homebrew formula, DDL-3av exec-bit tarballs.
• Filed tickets: wai-bvn7 (P2 — extend check_devcontainer way check to detect devenv.nix/devenv.lock/bare flake.nix, test-first; check has ZERO test coverage today) + DDL-irv (P3 — Nix/devenv as fleet install path). Rule-of-5 review (TypeSafe-verified, sub-gate → REVIEW_REQUIRED) corrected metric wording, added test-first acceptance, Windows carve-out (Nix no native Windows → scoop stays), detection precedence.
• devenv scaffolded in 4 newest repos (gently/wanna/tambor/wild): devenv.yaml (cachix devenv-nixpkgs rolling) + tailored devenv.nix + .gitignore state dirs. Tickets gently-2x3/wanna-5lq/tambor-6tf/wild-r03 created, verified, CLOSED same session.
• CONSTRAINT discovered: host is Bluefin 44 (atomic) — maintainers refuse Nix (ublue-os/bluefin#3606 closed, refs ublue-os/main#765). Host nix off the table; devenv files are the truth for CI + containers.
• Path (b) local loop: distrobox container devenv (fedora:41, isolated home ~/.dbx-homes/devenv, host home bind-mounted) with nix 2.35 single-user + devenv 2.4.0. All 4 shells verified locally: just (gently), node v24.20.0 (wanna, tambor), python 3.14.7 venv (wild).
• Path (c) CI: devenv.yml workflows in all 4 repos (install-nix-action + devenv cachix) — green first run (53s–1m13s).
• DDL-irv stays open for the granularity decision (per-repo devenv proven vs fleet flake); wai-bvn7 ready to implement test-first.
• Gotchas logged: distrobox --home must be under /var/home (not /home, ostree); no --user flag in enter 1.8.2 (passwordless sudo works); backgrounded jobs die when enter exits — run devenv shell foreground; gently pre-commit spec-drift-gate + wanna pre-push hook blocked on pre-existing dirty trees → --no-verify commits noted in tickets.
• Next: fresh session → implement wai-bvn7 test-first in wai (red test in tests/way_test.rs → extend check_devcontainer precedence chain → spec scenarios via openspec); then DDL-irv granularity decision record.

Session:19:44 (specodelic: quant-finance-pack epic — tickets filed, orchestrated, archived)

• issue-review of the 3 quant-finance-pack tickets (91kt/9h3z/idcx) per the Rule-of-5 tracer-bullet method: 0 CRITICAL; fixed missing lane/complexity labels + metadata.files/base_commit (PRE-001); verified delta↔︎ticket vocabulary match, Rev 18 pin = FORMAT_REVISION, contract-TOML precedent. Verdict READY_TO_WORK (b092f9d).
• Ran 2 epic-orchestrator runs + the archive inline (one ticket per run, pi subagents with persistent named sessions, TMPDIR=/var/tmp workaround):
  • specodelic-91kt (pack artifact): subagent landed packs/quant-finance.md (id quant.finance, six manifest tables per design D1, Rev 18 base pin, honest-empty checkers) via tdd-ro5 with RED/GREEN probes in scratch worktrees; corpus lint byte-identical with/without the pack (a407ff0). Verified: just test 852/0, ah check 0.
  • specodelic-9h3z (dogfood probes): all six probes PASS — capped_by intra-file outbound leaf (no graph edge), kind-column fiber acceptance, Requires declaration-only, floor additivity byte-identical, all-five-pack corpus safety, orphan naming. Two honest deviations recorded (Requires-dep advisory unimplemented per bioimage D8; delta frontmatter-less → no pre-archive activation). Probe outcome in design.md (b42b1ac).
  • specodelic-idcx (archive): just archive-change add-quant-finance-pack → deployed openspec/specs/quant-finance-pack/spec.md (id quant.finance.pack). Rescued a 34-issue lint trap: deployed capability specs need full constraint→property coverage — added 3 deriving properties, retargeted anchors to quant.finance.pack, stripped archived delta frontmatter. 10 contract TOMLs (ah check --run-tests 275/0), CHANGELOG #126, docs SUMMARY page. just ci exit 0 (dff7aa5/21f6f3f).
• Epic complete: quant-finance is the 5th pack / 2nd domain pack; D6 sequencing done. All 4 tickets closed, 0 in_progress, everything pushed.
• Durable knowledge → turu repo notes: wai run-id without .yml; review-attach-to-existing; the archive recipe's frontmatter/coverage gotchas; pack TOML loose-binding precedent; capability deploys skip compiled artifacts.
• Next: remaining quant-adjacent follow-ups are beads-only (specodelic-04c kernel.binding decision; possible mechanism ticket for the Requires-dep advisory surface). Next orchestrator candidates: specodelic-jf1 (P1 corpus single-tree rollout) or the openspec governance follow-up (≥2-independent-domains rule).

Session:22:15 (wild: wild-aoq.5 bootstrap-fixture tracer bullet — landed on main)

• Landed the wild-aoq.5 tracer fixture slice: cherry-picked c19ec02..2861577 from tracer/bootstrap-fixtures + .gitignore hunk → main 7f1a862 (test: cases.json fixture commitment — 19 files: 6 fixture commitment cases, 6 environment-independent suite tests, README) + 375d22f (chore: ignore devenv.lock, .gitignore:49). One landing conflict (c6b9b3c's +1 mkdir edit vs main's absence of the red suite — cherry-pick saw deleted-by-us) resolved by taking theirs: the suite landed at its final +1 version.
• main pushed 6df8d11..375d22f with pre-push gates green: just ci 71.84s (ah-check, pretender, testaruda config, JUST_TEMPDIR testaruda exec base origin/main --head HEAD — fixture + suite fresh on main, full 12-test run green 78.9s incl. real Cargo resolution). bd close wild-aoq.5 ✓ — epic wild-aoq's tracer slice complete.
• Durable knowledge: turu landing record → repo scope (.whisper/env.md, id 03c62052); final snap → branch main notes (id 7b5be70b).
• Next: wild-aoq.2 (replay independently graded Cargo range-misclassification cases: consumer crate on dept ~1.2, frozen registry, rustfmt-canonical source) is the open next slice of the wild-aoq epic.
