Effort estimation trial ledger

Cycle v3/retraction_text_format

2026-10-25 UTC — standing P2 enrollment; canonical intake and Step 1 snapshots. Baseline 2a07313a738af9e0a0f15796e8155d301d949ed5, R1 exact three hashes verified, Codex single exposed rater. Intake v1 0.70 included historical retraction compatibility; user explicitly removed that requirement. Step 1 v2 0.45 for new readable retractions, associated policy/audit, normal-flow/trust/retry verification and documentation. Extended options A/v1 0.45, B/v1 0.60, not additive or measured effort. Related predecessor v3/retraction_simplification retains its own outcome. Guidance and source audit completed directly; rewrite awaits Approved Step 1. Debug/extended estimates enabled; no application implementation, maintainer acceptance or accepted-count increment. Planning and ledger remain uncommitted.

2026-10-25 UTC — Step 1 selection revision: user chose Option B. Canonical selection and snapshot records scope v3, 0.60 projected total for separate signed request/signature and text acceptance receipt with atomic deletion/recovery. Earlier v1 0.70 and v2 0.45 retained; B/v1 0.60 reaffirmed. Old retractions remain excluded. Same baseline/R1/P2/exposed rater; exact hashes reverified, no implementation, measurement or acceptance. Await Approved Step 1.

2026-10-25 UTC — Step 2 handoff: Step 1 Option B explicitly approved. Requirements and canonical checkpoint retain scope v3/original baseline/R1/P2 and 0.60 total reaffirmed. Three readable files, exact signed evidence, atomic deletion/retry, source/read-model/import/cleanup integration; previous retractions excluded. Exact R1 hashes verified; single exposed Codex rater, no measured effort, implementation or accepted outcome. Audit priorities remain separate from effort scores. Await Approved Step 2; planning/ledger uncommitted.

2026-10-25 UTC — Step 3 handoff: Step 2 explicitly approved. Six-stage plan/checkpoint retains v3/Option B/original baseline/R1/P2, 0.60 whole-cycle projection reaffirmed. S1–S6/v1 stage work: 0.15, 0.20, 0.15, 0.20, 0.10, 0.15, independently scoped and not additive; S6 owns shared acceptance. Exact R1 hashes verified. Codex single exposed rater; source inspection identified request-path collisions, extension-based imports and shared source-removal migration within approved scope. Six planned/zero completed stages; no measured labor, implementation or acceptance. Await Approved Step 3; planning/ledger uncommitted.

2026-10-25 UTC — Step 4 closeout: entry, six stages and outcome. Step 3 explicitly approved; branch feature/retraction-text-format, scope v3/Option B/original baseline/R1/P2 retained. 0.60 original projection; 0.70 retrospective scope assessment, single exposed Codex rater, exact R1 hashes verified. Planning 75ec624b and six stage commits; six of six stages complete locally. New detached request/signature and text receipt, atomic recovery, source/import/cleanup integration, concise policy and prioritized audit delivered. Final PHP regressions 117/117, signed API/source 16/16, strengthened export/replay 1/1, actual browser four scenarios/13 themes and keyboard/touch checks passed. Stage-work originals preserved; S6 retrospective 0.20, others unchanged. No measured labor or accepted-count increment; maintainer fit/acceptance, physical devices, full suite, merge/push/deployment pending or unverified. Zero dependencies. Previous retractions excluded; other JSON conversions/history purge not implemented.

Cycle v3/read_model_hot_indexes

2026-10-24 Step 4 closeout: standing P2 enrollment, scope v1, reference R1, extended estimates enabled. Starting revision 611bcbb5; branch feat/read-model-hot-indexes; planning commit 7f928218; stage commits 4eb59792 (S1), 87fceacd (S2), cef85b1d (S3), 3a25919c (S4). Canonical snapshots in the Step 1 assessment and Step 4 summary. ≈0.30 projected total reaffirmed Steps 1–4; ≈0.30 retrospective scope assessment — independently judged, not the stage-work sum. Extended-mode stage-work originals: S1 ≈0.05, S2 ≈0.07, S3 ≈0.15, S4 ≈0.08; retrospectives S1 ≈0.05, S2 ≈0.06, S3 ≈0.12, S4 ≈0.10 (never summed into the cycle total). Delivered as planned: three read-model indexes, schema version 25→26, spec update, prior-version rebuild regression test (regression guard proven), query-plan + byte-identical-content verification, ./v3 rebuild. Two pre-existing ReadModelProvenanceTest git-environment failures reproduced on baseline 7f928218, not regressions. Single exposed, non-blind rater; no measured effort claimed. Maintainer comfortable-fit judgment and merge pending; study outcome acceptance pending (technical completion ≠ accepted outcome), accepted-count unchanged. Same stable cycle ID across checkouts.

Cycle v3/reply_continuation

2026-10-23 ordinary-flow correction accepted for merge: user explicitly authorized merging fix/reply-page-flow; combined-tree evidence records current-main integration, focused PHP 93/93 and full-card/phone browser checks. Prior scores/reference histories remain unchanged; physical/production and study comfortable-fit acceptance are not inferred.

2026-10-23 merge acceptance: user said “Looks good, you can merge” after the canonical-card correction. Functional acceptance for merge recorded in the implementation summary. Current main integrated; combined-tree 93 PHP and full-card/phone browser checks pass. Study comfortable-fit judgment, physical iPhone and production acceptance remain unknown/pending; scores and accepted-count unchanged.

2026-10-23 corrective handoff: user reported the accepted temporary card with “Open reply”; normal rendered-post reconciliation was missing from the original acceptance checks. Corrective evidence records full canonical body/actions replacement, three-engine long-content/action/draft/render-retry checks and phone four-theme visual/re-entry verification. Same cycle/scope v1/R1/P2; 0.95 projected and 0.95 retrospective assessments reaffirmed, prior incomplete acceptance retained. No independent outcome, measurement or accepted-count increment; physical iPhone/production/maintainer acceptance remain pending.

2026-10-23T14:58:10Z Step 4 local handoff: Step 3 explicitly approved; entry, six stages and closeout. Planning 22ea20c19; stages de8ae2bcb, 91f1650fd, 62f54f3dd, 9ef125447, 8a6ddaca1, followed by Stage 6 closeout. Immediate signed text/image continuation on both standard routes, desktop focus, phone reading/one-tap entry, independent pending/retry and navigation/uncertain-response recovery. Chromium all 16 theme/viewport matrices and Firefox/WebKit four-theme flows pass; focused PHP 93/93 plus existing reply/image/layout/readiness/browser checks pass. Scope v1/R1/P2/original baseline preserved; 0.95 projected total retained, 0.95 retrospective scope assessment, single exposed rater. Zero dependency delta. Physical iPhone, production/full-suite and maintainer comfortable-fit acceptance pending; no measured effort, independent rating or accepted-count increment. Same stable cycle across checkouts.

2026-10-23T14:19:17Z Step 3 handoff: Step 2 explicitly approved; development plan/checkpoint stages inline text, concurrent/reload recovery, images, dedicated/desktop flow, phone interaction and acceptance/closeout. Scope v1/R1/P2/original baseline unchanged; 0.95 total reaffirmed, Codex single exposed rater, prior reference verification carried forward. Await Approved Step 3; no implementation, measurement or accepted outcome; records uncommitted.

Standing P2 enrollment, scope v1/R1, baseline 3776264ed2ae9345294d3e93c25221037f6cd6e3; canonical intake and Step 1 snapshots, 2026-10-23T10:18:13Z: 0.95 projected total, reaffirmed at handoff. Codex single exposed rater; earlier source/test and related-plan investigation disclosed. F01 follow-up distinct from v3/reply_composer_focus_layout: immediate desktop consecutive writing and phone return-to-reading with one-tap re-entry, concurrent pending replies and per-reply recovery. Exact R1 references verified. Await Approved Step 1; no implementation, measurement or accepted outcome; planning/ledger remain uncommitted. Same stable ID across checkouts.

2026-10-23T10:22:45Z Step 2 handoff: Step 1 Option A explicitly approved; requirements/checkpoint define immediate signed text/image continuation, desktop focus, phone reading/re-entry, independent concurrent recovery/reconciliation and navigation survival; existing anonymous/no-script paths remain compatible. Scope v1/R1/P2/original baseline unchanged; 0.95 total reaffirmed, exact references reverified, single exposed rater. No implementation, measurement or accepted outcome; awaiting Approved Step 2, records remain uncommitted.

Setup plans · Your checklist

Current enrollment: protocol P2 enrolls every future cycle from 2026-10-21. Earlier individual-selection rules are historical; R1 and candidate histories remain unchanged.

Current state

Setup complete; maintainer acceptance of the provisional R1 anchor remains pending. E07 reduced scope v3 is technically complete on feat/fastmod-root-meta; maintainer comfortable-fit judgment and acceptance are pending. Original v2 was superseded after its Stage 1 sizing gate. Completed accepted outcomes: 0 / 6. The setup cycle is not a study outcome; E01–E06 remain proposed, and the additional selected E07 scope/score history is preserved below.

Frozen reference set R1

Current recovery, 2026-10-23T17:46:53.192203+00:00: the source links below now use exact verified host-local snapshots. See the portable provenance manifest. Use these frozen bytes rather than the changed current feedback or external checkout paths. Earlier unavailable checkpoints remain historical; recovery enables new dated ratings and does not backfill them.

Recorded 2026-10-19T03:20:46.805149+00:00. Definition: 1.0 is the largest well-scoped, releasable slice we would comfortably approve for one Railspike cycle, including required verification and documentation. Startup dependency recovery is the provisional 1.0 reference, conditional on its existing installer/test infrastructure. Maintainer acceptance is pending. Smaller comparisons include duplicate preview suppression (0.10), about-copy integration (0.20), numeric permalinks (0.25), score emphasis (0.30), toolbar identity (0.35) and composer decluttering (0.60).

Frozen snapshots now live in this repository; the manifest records their original sources. If unavailable, restore these exact sources and verify hashes before rating; do not silently use changed anchors. Explicitly version any accepted replacement as R2, retaining R1 and affected score histories. The same frozen reference set applies across a batch. Local path relocation may repair links without changing content identity.

Rating protocol

• Preserve inherited feedback scores independently of initial scoped estimates. One agent is the current rater, exposed to the feedback scores and calibration examples: results are neither blind nor independent of those sources. A second rater is optional, not assumed.

• Rate the total scoped cycle from its starting point, including inspection, planning, implementation, required verification, documentation and ordinary correction. Exclude approval waiting and unrelated cleanup. Freeform nonnegative decimals are judgments, not elapsed hours, priority, approval, additive forecasts or measured actual effort. Values above 1.0 prompt a split discussion without waiving recovery.

• Preserve the intake scope/estimate before detailed implementation inspection. Planning/status evidence may screen for prior work first; record prior exposure and any inspection already performed. Do not imply an initial score is uninformed by available plans.

• Record artifact snapshots at Step 1 handoff when used, Step 2 handoff, Step 3 handoff and Step 4 entry. Explicitly reaffirm unchanged values. Append new snapshots on revisions with a reason distinguishing scope change from new understanding; never erase prior values. Preserve approval context. Implementation discoveries can trigger a new total projection before dependent work; changed scope still requires normal approvals.

• At Step 4 closeout, record a retrospective scope assessment and the maintainer's comfortable-fit judgment separately from projections. Missing/skipped checkpoints stay missing/not applicable; do not reconstruct a prospective history. Skipped Step 1 has no zero score.

• Each snapshot carries candidate/cycle ID, checkpoint, UTC date, rater, scope version, reference version, exposure, score, reason and artifact link. Scope versions retain outcome, required recovery, evidence, dependencies and starting Git revision.

• Keep snapshots canonical in feature artifacts after those exist; ledger rows link to them. Intake snapshots live here until a feature exists. Updates during planning remain uncommitted under normal planning rules; include this ledger in each feature's approved documentation scope and commit its accumulated update with closeout. The optional trial does not widen any cycle's write authority.

Selection and outcome accounting

Use useful unfinished feedback first, cross-checking backlog and feature records. Six proposed scopes are a target; size diversity is a preference, not a quota. Statuses: proposed, selected, active, completed, deferred, replaced, abandoned. Keep replacements with reasons and links. Selection is not approval. Required device/environment checks must be part of the candidate's acceptance evidence.

One completed outcome is the accepted original candidate scope with required evidence and a recorded maintainer judgment. If split, preserve the original estimate/scope and link every child cycle; the original counts once only after its full agreed outcome is accepted. A deliberately reduced/replaced scope is versioned and cannot be silently compared as the original; child cycles are not independent observations by default. Missing acceptance remains visible and does not count as a completed outcome. Six completions do not imply six commits or necessarily six implementation cycles.

Outcome record template

For each candidate retain delivered scope/version; feature plan/summary links; starting and final revisions and stage commits/diffs; planned/completed stages; verification passed/failed/blocked/pending/inapplicable and omissions; corrective work versus new requests; splits/follow-ups; retrospective scope assessment; maintainer comfortable-fit judgment and acceptance date. Record active-work measurements only if reliably collected; never infer effort from lines, stage counts or timestamps.

Next action and study review

The user selected additional candidate E07 on 2026-10-20. Review its root-only implementation and supply the maintainer comfortable-fit/acceptance judgment next; E01–E06 remain proposed. The provisional anchor still awaits maintainer acceptance. Each feature gets its own approvals. The agent keeps active candidate, pending items and next action current for resumption. After six accepted outcomes, start a separately approved documentation cycle to assess size errors, scope changes and incomplete acceptance; qualify conclusions if ceiling examples are absent. No measured labor, absolute capacity ceiling or delivery forecast is claimed.

Candidate intake batch B1

Recorded 2026-10-19T03:21:59.566650+00:00, before application source inspection for these candidates. Starting revision for all six: e8548e7512940b4e164483fbd33d79eca2b85099 (application baseline is unchanged from the planning commit). Scope version: v1; reference: R1; rater: Codex, single rater. Exposure: all inherited feedback scores and the reference study were visible; planning/status records were screened first. todo.txt had unrelated uncommitted edits; it was read as a status hint, not modified (SHA-256 at screening: 5d241274915baebf0588f49516aaf3be41e68bde7d0596e30d1bc1aa23c96b85). No independent-rater claim.

Scores are judgments for the bounded scopes below, not rewrites of the broader feedback scores. Required verification is included. No ceiling candidate is forced into this batch. Later per-step columns remain pending until separate cycles exist.

E01 — Approval meaning

• Outcome/entry: At the standard user-approval action, explain that approval vouches for conduct and integrity; retain the existing action and permission rules.

• Recovery/evidence: Copy remains readable on mobile and keyboard navigation; existing success, refusal and failure/retry controls remain visible. Verify approval and rejection paths without changing policy.

• Dependencies/overlap: Existing approval UI and vouching design; root approval pages and User Access may already supply the meaning. Confirm remaining copy before implementation.

• Initial rationale: Smaller than about-copy integration, but locate the real shared action and check unchanged permissions/recovery; 0.08 total.

E02 — Copy body text

• Outcome/entry: Copy the full body from public New thread and reply text boxes without losing or submitting the draft; exclude secret-key/password fields and unrelated text boxes from this proposed first slice.

• Recovery/evidence: On denied/unavailable clipboard access, preserve text and offer ordinary manual selection/copy. Verify empty, Unicode and multiline drafts, keyboard activation and a mobile browser; no signed-content changes.

• Dependencies/overlap: Existing composer and clipboard helpers; bookmarklet/key copy controls are related infrastructure, not proof that body Copy All exists. Shares composer surface with E04/E06 but delivers an independent outcome.

• Initial rationale: Similar to a bounded routing extension, with shared controls and clipboard denial recovery; 0.25 total. Maintainer must confirm this narrowed scope is useful.

E03 — Tag capitalization

• Outcome/entry: Stop automatic initial capitalization in standard public thread/reply tag inputs on mobile while preserving deliberately entered characters and existing tag validation.

• Recovery/evidence: Native keyboard no longer forces capitals; existing validation and draft recovery remain usable. Verify on a real affected mobile keyboard, plus render coverage for shared input attributes; desktop attributes alone do not close the report.

• Dependencies/overlap: Shared tag input and existing normalization; composer declutter changed layout, not documented keyboard behavior.

• Initial rationale: Small shared-input change with targeted device acceptance; 0.08 total, conditional on reproducibility.

E04 — iPhone posting control

• Outcome/entry: In the standard inline thread-reply form and compose-reply page, keep Send/Post reachable while the iPhone software keyboard is open in portrait and landscape. No redesign of private-message or Forte composers.

• Recovery/evidence: Draft, validation errors and retry action survive keyboard opening/closing and rotation; avoid covering text or causing duplicate sends. Capture actual iPhone Safari/Firefox checks and supported desktop regression evidence; emulation alone is insufficient. Device access remains to be arranged in its feature cycle.

• Dependencies/overlap: Shared composer and declutter history; private-message sticky composer is a separate surface. Coordinate later E02/E06 changes through new baselines.

• Initial rationale: Several viewport/focus transitions plus real-device acceptance; near composer decluttering's 0.60 reference but narrower surfaces, 0.55 total.

E05 — Expanded Board excerpts

• Outcome/entry: A standard Board reader can switch between existing compact cards and longer text excerpts, then open a post normally. Scope excludes Forte and new search, loading or media behavior.

• Recovery/evidence: Toggle back without losing current filter/sort; handle short/empty bodies and unavailable preferences gracefully; preserve safe text rendering and navigation on mobile/keyboard. Define excerpt length during feature planning.

• Dependencies/overlap: Existing thread-card preview behavior and duplicate-preview suppression; do not count that completed narrow change again.

• Initial rationale: More state/rendering work than score emphasis or toolbar identity, while reusing cards and data; 0.45 total.

E06 — Distraction-free New thread

• Outcome/entry: From standard New thread, enter and exit a focused writing view that reduces surrounding chrome while retaining draft, submit, required warnings and a visible way out. No persistent/cross-device preference or new editor.

• Recovery/evidence: Exit via a visible keyboard-accessible control; failed validation exposes relevant fields without losing text. Verify mobile layout, keyboard navigation and repeated entry/exit; unavailable JS leaves ordinary composition usable.

• Dependencies/overlap: Composer declutter already simplifies sections. Hide numbers focus toggle concerns reading/counts, not this writing mode; keep separate.

• Initial rationale: Bounded layout state and recovery, below the broader 0.60 composer reference; 0.50 total.

Screening dispositions before source inspection

• Feature 01 composer simplification overlaps delivered declutter; exclude the broad historical request from this batch.

• Feature 27 image paste overlaps delivered image upload enhancements; exclude the combined image/audio/video request rather than re-estimate completed image work.

• Bug 10 missing-PHP startup overlaps the calibration anchor; exclude from prospective candidates.

• Feature 28 compose-reply context and Feature 25 Reply scrolling may overlap existing thread/reply work; defer, not counted or declared fixed.

• Feature 23 ActivityPub and bundled agent/notification requests remain underspecified; no artificial near-ceiling scope is introduced.

Post-intake source screen — 2026-10-19T03:22:54.041492+00:00

Read-only source screening followed the saved intake batch. This is evidence of plausible remaining work, not browser reproduction or a feature implementation audit. Candidate selection and feature approvals remain pending.

All these snapshots use rater Codex, reference R1 and the same starting revision as B1, with prior score exposure and additional source exposure as listed. They are post-intake screening checkpoints, not retrospectively invented Step 1/2/3 feature scores. Later feature cycles will record their own handoffs. No detailed implementation design or runtime verification was performed.

Feature 28 (original text on compose-reply) is now excluded as apparently already present: templates/pages/compose_reply.php renders the parent body and a missing-parent message. This source observation does not certify its runtime behavior. Other deferred/rejected items remain visible above. No replacements were needed among E01–E06; E03's narrower scope remains explicit.

Compact checkpoint comparison

All six remain proposed and unfinished on the screened evidence. Pending columns mean the feature cycles have not begun; convert Step 1 to not applicable only if that step is actually skipped. Shared composer dependencies mean execution order may change later baselines and estimates; do not sum these scores as a forecast. This batch lacks near-ceiling examples, so it cannot by itself validate the 1.0 ceiling.

Operational checklist for the agent

1. Resume here: read current state, selected candidate and next action; verify R1 source hashes and restore the latest scope/score snapshot. A ledger selection triggers the vendored study contract; copy the study/candidate ID and ledger link into the feature artifact.

2. Before new detailed inspection, preserve the intake estimate and starting revision. For an existing B1 candidate, keep its original record and append any new baseline/scope judgment rather than reset it.

3. Run the selected feature’s normal approvals and capture each applicable checkpoint. Include this ledger in its approved documentation scope. Keep planning updates uncommitted; preserve the planning-commit file gate.

4. At implementation entry reaffirm or revise the total; append meaningful later discoveries and enforce changed-scope approvals. Keep the comparison table linked to canonical artifact snapshots.

5. Close out in the feature’s final stage commit: record evidence, retrospective assessment and maintainer judgment (or pending), update status/next action and retain splits/corrections versus new requests. Technical completion alone does not increment accepted outcomes.

6. After six accepted outcomes, propose the separate study-review cycle. Keep sources and all earlier estimates intact; qualify any conclusion about the ceiling because this proposed batch has no near-ceiling examples.

Synthetic walkthrough evidence lives in the setup summary, outside candidate histories. Later real feature plans will supply the currently pending checkpoint links.

E07 — Fastmod rubric actions

• Selection: explicitly requested 2026-10-20; status v3 technically complete; maintainer acceptance pending. Additional candidate outside B1; no E01–E06 replacement or independent child-outcome claim. Target remains six accepted outcomes.

• Canonical scope v1, intake and Step 1 snapshots: fresh assessment. Starting revision 4c521b743575979b8fefc66b38271551a57a08ef; Codex single exposed rater; no inherited score. Intake 0.85, Step 1 0.85 reaffirmed, R1. Intake was recorded after historical-plan and read-only source exposure, not reconstructed as pre-inspection.

• Proposed outcome: evidence-backed, discoverable meta tagging of newly scored local posts, including human correction, provenance, stale-result handling, retries and rollback of machine-owned tags. Automated moderation, author standing, ranking changes and historical bulk tagging are deferred; predecessor records remain intact. No application implementation or later-step approval is implied.

• R1 verification: report and diff-review files at the recorded external paths match frozen hashes. Current feedback document differs; restored exact frozen feedback bytes read-only from Git revision 4f6cfe2b436fae8d939b1349fe724a3879ee0a0e to /tmp/fastmod-r1-feedback.md and verified SHA-256 ef335604ecd5b51e5c04067d88e4d6f01cb4fdb21b8f4d7dba7b5b90e4012bfc. Recover by Git revision, not the temporary path. No R2 was introduced.

• Step 2 checkpoint: feature description, 0.95, R1, scope v1 clarified, Codex single exposed rater, UTC 2026-10-20. New understanding of reaction/label coupling and discovery/rebuild/rollback integration revises the total from 0.85; original snapshots remain intact.

• Step 3 checkpoint: development plan, 0.95 reaffirmed, R1, scope v2, Codex single exposed rater, UTC 2026-10-20. User explicitly removed the human-labeled accuracy gate after Step 2 approval; machine-owned tagging/correction/recovery scope remains.

• Next: user reviews Step 3; wait for Approved Step 3. Step 4 entry and closeout scores remain pending. Retain this ledger within the cycle's eventual approved documentation boundary; planning writes remain uncommitted, with accumulated ledger updates reserved for authorized closeout.

• E07 Step 3 architecture refinement A2 (2026-10-20): user accepted live tag joins/bulk lookups with generation-time public artifact snapshots instead of continuous read-model copying. Scope v2 and total 0.95 reaffirmed; canonical revision. Step 3 remains awaiting approval.

• E07 Step 4: branch feat/fastmod-rubric-actions, planning commit 766deab1; entry/discovery snapshots and Stage 1 evidence. Entry 0.95 reaffirmed, discovery 1.20 for unchanged v2/A2 scope; offline item format/client and generation-safe build/activation work exceed the approved atomic stage breakdown. No application changes; awaiting revised scope or stage-budget decision. No closeout or accepted outcome. Ledger remains outside the investigation commit under the approved closeout bookkeeping rule.

• E07 revised Step 2 v3 (2026-10-20): user accepted reduced root-only automatic meta tagging, existing styling, configuration/CLI-only controls, no evidence viewer, restore, generic mapping engine or automatic reclassification. Canonical revised scope/snapshot: 0.85 projected total, R1, Codex single exposed rater; includes already performed planning/investigation and renewed planning, not just remaining implementation. This replaces, and does not complete, original v2. Await renewed Approved Step 2 then revised Step 3 and its approval; no accepted outcome or independent child observation. Historical v1/v2 approvals and scores remain preserved.

• E07 revised Step 3 v3 (2026-10-20): renewed Step 2 approval received. Canonical development plan/checkpoint reaffirms 0.85 total, R1, Codex single exposed rater, including prior investigation/replanning. Eight root-only stages separate private persistence, worker eligibility, live discovery, CLI correction, artifact guard, artifact materialization, verification and closeout. Await renewed Approved Step 3; no application edits or accepted outcome. Historical broader scope remains preserved.

• E07 v3 closeout (2026-10-20): canonical implementation/outcome record. Reduced implementation start 79bc519f; original cycle start 4c521b743575979b8fefc66b38271551a57a08ef; final production code d1da4d40; revised planning fe9578f9, then eight stage commits including closeout. Projected total 0.85 preserved; retrospective scope assessment 0.90, Codex single exposed rater, R1. Outcome: root-only meta tags, existing presentation/live lookup/public artifact labels, CLI correction/retry/rollback and private retained evidence. Final focused 27 passed; broader focused 68 passed; real browser/rebuild passed. Full suite 1,380 / 1,372 passed / 8 reproduced baseline/environment failures; started before final atomic-evidence/enablement fixes, with final focused/browser coverage of those changes. No deployment or live-model accuracy test. Maintainer comfortable-fit/acceptance pending, accepted outcomes remain 0 / 6. v3 is an explicit reduced replacement, not completion of original v2 and not an independent child observation.

• E07 closeout commit: 1f35e6be (Stage 8), completing the eight-stage v3 sequence after planning fe9578f9. Current-state text corrected in a separate closeout follow-up; no application changes or history rewrites. Maintainer study acceptance remains pending.

Continuing enrollment — 2026-10-21 (protocol P2)

Maintainer request: “I want every future railspike to be part of the same data collection.” This is standing enrollment of every new Railspike cycle in this project, including documentation, research and maintenance cycles. It supersedes individual-selection-only guidance above from this date; earlier text and candidate histories remain historical. R1 and all prior scores remain unchanged. The maintainer authorized provisional beta use of the scale; this does not supply E07's pending comfortable-fit judgment or accept an individual outcome.

• Continuing study ID: railspike-effort; reference R1; collection protocol P2. New cycle ID: v3/<unique feature prefix>; retain E01–E07 as legacy candidate IDs. Reuse the same ID across worktrees for the same cycle. A distinct follow-up gets its own prefix and parent link; check existing plans/ledger before allocating it.

• Every new cycle records intake, applicable Step 1/2/3 handoffs, Step 4 entry, material revisions and closeout using the existing rating protocol and outcome template. Include this ledger's bookkeeping in the cycle's documentation scope. Canonical snapshots stay in feature artifacts; append a ledger index row with ID, status, scope/reference version, current score, checkpoint/artifact link and parent/replacement relationship. Preserve all earlier values. Initial inspection exposure and missing checkpoints must be explicit.

• Record new cycles at their first artifact, including work that pauses, is abandoned or never reaches implementation. Work already underway joins at its next checkpoint with its earlier estimates marked missing unless evidence exists; do not invent intake history. Ordinary tasks that do not invoke Railspike are outside the cycle population. E01–E06 remain proposals until actually started; automatic collection is not implementation approval.

• Keep projections, retrospective scope assessment, verification and maintainer comfortable-fit/acceptance separate. Record stage counts, corrections versus new requests, omissions, revisions/diffs and splits. Unknown active work and absent independent ratings remain unknown. Technical completion does not increment accepted outcomes.

• Six accepted outcomes now trigger a review checkpoint, not the end of collection or a size quota. Freeze R1 until an explicit reference revision; protocol P2 changes enrollment only. Retain every scope/version and related child cycle; no extra independent outcomes from cloned files or split children.

• This checkout's ledger and artifacts are local copies of one dataset. Integrate updates through normal Git review; merge by stable cycle ID/checkpoint and retain conflicting snapshots, rather than overwriting or summing checkouts. Collection is local; no automatic upload is authorized. Repair source paths by recorded content hash/Git revision, never by silently changing references.

Enrollment index after P2

2026-10-26T00:56:13Z: image ZIP Step 2 approved. Step 3 0.40 whole-cycle projection reaffirmed, same scope v1/original baseline/R1/P2, verified R1 hashes and Codex single exposed rater. Extended stage-work originals: S1 0.18 bounded ZIP recovery, S2 0.12 ZIP export/routes, S3 0.08 ordinary-flow verification/docs; independent annotations, not summed. Reuse existing PHP ZIP support with no dependency addition. No implementation, measurement or accepted outcome; awaiting Approved Step 3.

2026-10-26T00:45:01Z: standing enrollment for v3/image_backup_zip, original baseline 5510efde63b6f5eae1970d836d363bb63403a2f2. Intake after initial code inspection and Step 2 handoff both 0.40 projected total; R1 hashes verified, Codex single exposed rater. New-cycle extended estimates enabled; Step 1 skipped because the requested ZIP format is explicit. Scope includes normal ZIP downloads, safe verify/restore, legacy TAR compatibility and documentation. No implementation, measurement or accepted outcome; documentation remains uncommitted.

2026-10-25T18:29:42Z: repository archive README Step 2 approved; three-stage development plan prepared. Step 3 0.25 total reaffirmed, scope v2/original baseline/R1/P2 and single exposed rater unchanged; R1 hashes verified, extended mode remains disabled. Existing-history-free exporter integration, ordinary download/import/image recovery and scoped closeout are covered. Earlier Step 3 approval message preceded the concrete plan; awaiting review. No implementation, measurement or accepted outcome; planning remains uncommitted.

2026-10-25T18:26:38Z: repository archive README Step 1 Option B approved. Step 2 scope v2 corrects prior checkout assumptions to remote history-free content snapshots and the shared export path. Original baseline and 0.25 intake/Step 1 estimates preserved; Step 2 0.25 total reaffirmed, R1 hashes verified, Codex single exposed rater. Existing disabled extended mode survives beta-4 upgrade. No implementation, measured labor or accepted outcome; awaiting Approved Step 2.

2026-10-25T18:19:32Z: standing P2 enrollment for repository archive README improvements; original baseline 99a0def2af1f0b19b4b5cc284c1eac920da9464d. Intake after source/archive inspection and Step 1 handoff both 0.25 projected total; Codex single exposed rater, verified R1, no pristine intake or measured labor claim. Recommended shared export guide covers both formats and export paths with preservation of original repository notes. No implementation or accepted outcome; documentation remains uncommitted.

E01–E06: proposed, no feature-cycle checkpoints. E07: reduced v3 technically complete, projected 0.85, retrospective 0.90, maintainer acceptance pending. These counts are unchanged by P2. Append each new cycle here with links to its canonical snapshots; keep unsuccessful/incomplete cycles visible. The historical “0 / 6” is accepted outcomes toward the first review checkpoint, not the number of collected records.

Cycle v3/retraction_effects

Standing enrollment: withdraw ongoing site-controlled effects of currently retractable posts, preserving surviving independent contributions, with legacy attribution/recovery, retry, rebuild and concurrent-work coverage. Prior diagnostic and unpin-assessment exposure disclosed; no pristine intake or reconstructed numeric estimate. Frozen R1 sources remain unavailable as recorded by the related proposal; preserve references and restore exact sources before rating. No measured effort, implementation, split outcome or accepted-count increment. Earlier unpin proposal remains intact and unapproved; this cycle addresses source retraction rather than introducing a general label-removal control. Planning/ledger writes remain uncommitted.

2026-10-23 Step 1 revision: user selected Option C; v2 recursively retracts dependent items, including cross-author descendant replies, and withdraws their effects. Preview, explicit cascade authority, protected-dependency handling and resumable completion are required. This supersedes the v1 source-only recommendation without erasing its snapshot; same stable cycle, baseline and R1/P2. Revised numeric projection remains unavailable pending frozen-source recovery. No step approval or implementation is implied.

2026-10-23 Step 1 revision v3: user requested explicit coverage of physical source deletion through delete-record, alongside signed retraction. Include reliable source-to-dependent linkage, cleanup of separate label records, dependency discovery before source evidence is removed, and repair for already deleted sources. Live archive inspection showed both pin-label records surviving reply deletion. Preserve v1/v2 snapshots, same stable ID/baseline/R1/P2; revised projection remains unavailable pending exact reference recovery. No implementation approval or independent outcome.

2026-10-23 Step 1 revision v4: user clarified that independently authored replies must survive. Current recommendation is narrowed C: recursively clean generated effects for retraction and delete-record, preserving reply content, valid independent contributions and root/thread structure. v2/v3 broad reply cascades and associated cross-author cascade requirements are superseded; historical snapshots remain. Same cycle/baseline/R1/P2; numeric projection unavailable pending exact frozen-source recovery. No step approval, implementation or outcome claimed.

2026-10-23 Step 2 handoff: Step 1 v4 explicitly approved. Feature description/checkpoint retains v4 generated-effect cleanup for both entry points, preserved replies, provenance and historical repair, with release inventory and retry/import/publication coverage. Codex single exposed rater; same baseline/R1/P2. Projected total unavailable pending exact frozen report/diff recovery, not zero or a new numeric estimate. Step 2 and implementation remain unapproved.

2026-10-23 Step 3 investigation: Step 2 v4 approved. Scope split proposal/checkpoint records evidence that the full contract exceeds atomic staging limits: historical imported labels lack proven source links, missing roots need explicit representation, physical deletion needs durable/retry/import/publication handling, and remaining machine-output families need separate integration. Proposed first cycle closes label cleanup/conversation preservation end to end; remaining effects retain parent incomplete status. Split not accepted, children not started, no completed Step 3 or implementation approval. Same baseline/R1/P2 and exposed rater; numeric projection unavailable pending frozen-reference recovery.

2026-10-23 split accepted: user explicitly approved the split. Step 2 v5 scopes the first release to label ownership/cleanup, both removal paths, conversation preservation and durable legacy repair. Approved v4 retained verbatim; remaining effect families and parent outcome stay incomplete. Continue under the same stable observation, not an independent child success. Same baseline/R1/P2/exposed rater; revised total unavailable pending exact reference recovery. Renewed Step 2 approval required before executable Step 3.

2026-10-23 Step 3 v5 handoff: renewed Step 2 approval received. Executable development plan/checkpoint proposes eight bounded stages through ownership, removal evidence, retraction, conversation structure, deletion/repair, imports, concurrency and closeout. Earlier split investigation retained. Same stable cycle/baseline/R1/P2; total projection unavailable pending exact reference recovery. No implementation, independent child outcome or parent all-effects completion claimed; awaiting Approved Step 3.

2026-10-23 Step 4 closeout: user approved Step 3 v5; entry, eight-stage implementation and study outcome. Branch feat/retraction-effects, baseline e960f666, planning 43ed5860, seven intermediate stage commits and Stage 8 closeout (exact final revision recorded in the debug handoff). Label cleanup, both entry points, explicit legacy repair, import/retry/publication persistence and preserved replies delivered locally. Final focused 98/98; extra source-evidence/parser 48/48; real browser/theme and stable-doc static/rebuild checks passed. Full suite incomplete: 59 passed, two missing-GD image failures reproduced on unchanged baseline. Deployment/live repair, parent remaining effects and maintainer fit/acceptance pending. Numeric projected and retrospective ratings remain unavailable pending exact R1 recovery; no measured effort or independent child outcome. Accepted-count unchanged.

Cycle v3/thread_like_activity

Standing enrollment covers per-contribution thread-like activity through normal writes, historical rebuild and shared Activity consumers, retaining scoring, duplicate eligibility and source-withdrawal policy. Local incident evidence and aggregator inspection preceded intake; no pristine intake or reconstructed numeric estimate. Baseline 39be82932fcc36c5017fcf368655ef449bf042da; Codex single exposed rater; R1/P2 unchanged. No implementation, independent child outcome, measured effort or accepted-count increment. Planning remains uncommitted; user's canceled commit request is not reused as authorization.

2026-10-23 Step 2 handoff: explicit Step 1 approval received. Scope v1 clarifies one Activity item per distinct accepted eligible like-bearing record, stable replay behavior, historical evidence attribution, mixed-label records and shared classic/Forte/feed recovery. Universal repository coverage, button-like withdrawal and the withdrawn-source duplicate-guard bug remain separate. Same baseline/R1/P2 and exposed rater; total projection unavailable pending exact frozen reference recovery. Step 2/implementation not approved; no completed outcome or measured effort.

2026-10-23 Step 3 handoff: explicit Step 2 approval received. Four-stage plan covers normal-write/rebuild inclusion, per-record historical attribution, version-23 startup recovery and isolated known-case/browser acceptance. Scope v1, baseline/R1/P2 and exposed rater unchanged; projected total remains unavailable pending exact frozen-reference recovery. No application implementation or completed outcome; await Approved Step 3. Broader coverage and withdrawal requests remain separately tracked.

2026-10-23 Step 4 closeout: Step 3 approved; entry, stage outcomes, verification boundaries and retrospective assessment. Planning commit ab24d158, followed by four summary-bearing stage commits on feat/thread-like-activity. Each eligible like contribution now appears with per-record historical attribution; version-24 startup and normal rebuild recover omissions without new canonical records. Isolated exact incident, 29 focused PHP tests, missing-history follow-up, signed-button browser flows and shared Activity recovery checks passed. Live deployment/physical devices and full-suite verification are not claimed. R1/P2 and scope v1 unchanged; numeric projection and retrospective assessment remain unavailable pending exact reference recovery; prior missing checkpoints stay missing. Maintainer fit/acceptance pending; no measured effort, independent outcome or accepted-count increment.

Cycle v3/thread_unpin_web_ui

Standing enrollment covers browser-only thread unpinning with proposed operator authority, legacy/duplicate pin handling, repinning and rebuild/presentation recovery. Earlier diagnostic source exposure is disclosed; no pristine intake or numeric score is reconstructed. Feedback hash verified from its recorded Git revision; external report/diff unavailable in this checkout's environment. Preserve R1 and recover exact sources before rating. Planning and ledger updates remain uncommitted; no accepted-outcome count change.

Cycle v3/reply_composer_focus_layout

This existing cycle joined under standing enrollment during Step 4. Intake, Steps 1–3 and Step 4 entry projections are missing, not backfilled. R1 source hashes were verified; earlier source exposure is disclosed in the canonical snapshot. Retrospective scope assessment 0.65 is separate from the preserved 0.65 projected total. Baseline bc42277b, three planned/delivered stages; committed scope and verification/omissions are recorded in the summary and final handoff log. Physical iPhone acceptance, full-suite evidence and maintainer acceptance are not claimed. No accepted-outcome count is incremented. This is one cycle regardless of checkout/worktree copies; no split or new independent outcome.

Cycle v3/composer_anchor_exit

Enrolled under standing P2 policy. Initial lifecycle/style/template inspection and prior-cycle exposure preceded the recorded intake and are disclosed; no pristine prospective intake is claimed. Scope includes anchored inline thread/reply expansion, spacing, usable exit/resume, dedicated New Thread label/prompt polish, keyboard reachability and submission/recovery checks. No implementation, measured effort, retrospective outcome or accepted-count increment is claimed. This stable ID identifies the same cycle across worktrees; the original parent record remains intact. The user explicitly requested committing and pushing these Step 1 planning updates before the usual planning-commit gate; this does not approve implementation.

Cycle v3/activity_feed_pagination

Standing P2 enrollment; baseline 39be82932fcc36c5017fcf368655ef449bf042da. Source/plan exposure preceded intake and is disclosed. Recommended scope is bounded Older/Newer navigation across HTML Activity views and paned Commits, preserving filtering, sorting, selection access and recovery; RSS and unrelated previews excluded. R1 retained without invented scores. No implementation, measured effort, independent outcome or accepted-count increment. Planning/ledger updates remain uncommitted.

2026-10-23 Activity pagination Step 1 revision: scope v2 checkpoint preserves v1 history and recommends a shared pagination component first delivered through standard/Forte Activity and Forte Commits. Default Previous/Next, optional numbered jumps for suitable later consumers; other migrations stay in the checklist. Same stable cycle, original 39be8293 baseline, R1/P2 and single exposed rater; current source context e507cb71 and expanded source exposure disclosed. Revised total unavailable pending exact frozen-reference recovery. Step 1 approval pending; no Step 2, implementation, measured effort or accepted-count change.

2026-10-23 Activity pagination Step 2 handoff: explicit Step 1 approval received for shared-first Option B, scope v2. Feature description/checkpoint defines bounded Previous/Next navigation, shared controls/state with list-specific queries, URL/history, live-result consistency, recovery and security/static/offline boundaries through standard/Forte Activity and Forte Commits. Later migrations remain separate. Same cycle/baseline/R1/P2 and exposed rater; current source inspection e5f4bce6 disclosed. Projected total remains unavailable pending exact frozen-reference recovery; historical checkpoints preserved. No implementation, measured effort or accepted outcome; awaiting Approved Step 2.

2026-10-23 Activity pagination scope v3 revision: user explicitly requested no Forte changes and alignment of Steps 1–2. Revised assessment and requirements narrow shared pagination to standard Activity as its first consumer. Forte append/Commits and existing APIs remain unchanged; shared-service compatibility is verified. Step 1 v2 approval and earlier checkpoints remain historical; Step 2 v3 awaits approval. Checklist records Forte as an explicit exception, not a scheduled migration. Same cycle/original baseline/R1/P2 and exposed rater; revised total remains unavailable pending exact reference recovery. No implementation, measured effort or accepted outcome.

2026-10-23 Activity pagination Step 3 handoff: explicit Step 2 v3 approval received. Development plan/checkpoint defines four bounded stages: additive standard-only page flow/reusable controls plus read-model version gate; stable reverse traversal and recovery; actual static/offline/access serving; browser acceptance and documentation. Forte production code, append behavior and API contracts remain unchanged; existing flows are regression checks. Same cycle/original baseline/R1/P2 and single exposed rater, checkout e5f4bce6; projected total remains unavailable pending exact frozen reference recovery. Earlier checkpoints preserved; no implementation, measured effort, independent outcome or accepted-count increment. Await Approved Step 3.

2026-10-23 Activity pagination documentation clarification: user requested project implementation guidance at completion. Steps 2–3 and the checklist make the existing documentation deliverable explicit: docs/reference/pagination.md, discoverable through CONTRIBUTING.md, with a worked standard Activity example, reusable/list-specific boundaries and verification/recovery guidance. Scope v3, Step 2 approval, original baseline/R1/P2 and exposed rater unchanged; projected total remains unavailable pending exact reference recovery. No new runtime scope, implementation or outcome; Step 3 still awaiting approval.

2026-10-23 Activity pagination Step 4 closeout: user approved Step 3; entry, four stages, evidence/limits and retrospective assessment. Planning 347df048 precedes summary-bearing implementation commits on feat/activity-feed-pagination. Standard Activity now has bounded native Previous/Next pages via reusable controls/position handling, unchanged Forte interfaces and append behavior, schema-25 startup recovery, actual serving/invalidation verification and a linked developer guide. Focused PHP 44/44; standard JS/no-JS, 13-theme phone/desktop and actual Forte append/Commits browser checks passed; signed reactions and existing Forte reader checks passed. Local-only evidence; full suite, live deployment and physical-device acceptance not claimed. Scope v3/original baseline/R1/P2 and exposed rater unchanged; numeric projected and retrospective assessment unavailable pending exact frozen-reference recovery. Maintainer fit/acceptance pending; no measured effort or accepted-count increment.

Cycle v3/railspike_workflow_visibility

Standing enrollment; baseline cd2f84087a6584d2b1cb3ac8ebaa2395fa897ec6. Codex single exposed rater; live HTML, code/history and original workflow plans inspected before intake, disclosed without reconstructed prospective scoring. Scope recommends authorized server-rendered workflow discovery/reading, thread integration and recovery, preserving private boundaries and existing signed actions. R1 report/diff absent; current feedback hash differs from frozen R1. No replacement anchor, numeric score, implementation, measured effort or accepted-count increment. Planning/ledger updates remain uncommitted; same stable cycle across worktrees.

2026-10-23 workflow visibility Step 1 revision: user selected Option A and requested a separate assessment for remaining Option C. Parent scope v2 narrows to Activity block removal, retained thread behavior and regression verification; original v1 snapshot retained. Same baseline/R1/P2/exposed rater; numeric projection remains unavailable. Selection is not step or implementation approval. Original broader outcome remains incomplete; no independent split success or accepted-count increment.

Cycle v3/railspike_workflow_reading

User requested saving remaining private discovery/reading scope separately from parent removal. Baseline cd2f84087a6584d2b1cb3ac8ebaa2395fa897ec6; Codex single exposed rater, prior incident/parent/original plan exposure disclosed. Preserve original parent v1 and revised v2; R1 report/diff missing and feedback differs, so no numeric rating. No implementation, measured effort or accepted-count change. Documents and ledger remain uncommitted; same cycle ID across worktrees.

2026-10-23 workflow visibility Step 2 handoff: Step 1 Option A v2 explicitly approved. Feature description/checkpoint scopes removal to the detached Activity integration and proven workflow-only dependencies, preserving thread/post controls, documented APIs and ordinary Activity consumers. Repository provenance/coverage and deferred reading remain separate. Baseline/R1/P2 and exposed rater unchanged; total projection remains unavailable pending exact frozen-reference recovery. No implementation, measured effort or accepted-count increment; awaiting Approved Step 2.

2026-10-23 workflow visibility Step 3 handoff: explicit Step 2 approval received. Development plan/checkpoint defines two bounded stages: remove the Activity-only integration while preserving thread/API behavior, then rendered regression acceptance/documentation. Retain auth/signing dependencies conservatively; verify workflow network silence and existing signed recovery. Same scope v2/baseline/R1/P2/exposed rater; projected total remains unavailable pending exact frozen references. No implementation, measured effort, independent split success or accepted-count change. Awaiting Approved Step 3.

2026-10-23 workflow visibility Step 4 closeout: Step 3 approved; entry, two stages and outcome. Planning 4e176747, Stage 1 2224e68c, followed by Stage 2 acceptance/documentation on fix/activity-workflow-block. Removed detached Activity UI/client refresh; retained thread/post workflows and documented APIs. Role/script/viewport matrix, workflow signed recovery/resumption, no workflow polling, standard paging/RSS/entry recovery and 13-theme browser checks passed; targeted PHP 26 passed after Node PATH correction. Local-only; deployment/reported live URL reload, physical devices, full suite and maintainer fit/acceptance pending. Scope v2/baseline/R1/P2 unchanged; projected and retrospective numeric scores unavailable pending frozen R1 recovery. Original broader/split scope retained; no measured effort, independent split success or accepted-count increment.

Eight stages cover ownership proof, standalone publication, readers/version identity, legacy retention, forum detachment, actual WSL recovery/concurrency, complete-library acceptance and closeout. No scope/dependency expansion; await Approved Step 3, no implementation or accepted-count change.

• v3/docs_independent_publication — Step 4 entry reaffirmed 0.85 projected total after explicit Step 3 approval; eight-stage local implementation/closeout complete, maintainer acceptance pending. Canonical entry, implementation and study outcome. Scope v1 clarified / R1 / P2, same start ddc9d2c020addbc41b19f543d0247b83259c6f69, predecessor v3/docs_publication_policy; planning f2d718a0, production 7c255bfd, focused fixtures 5567310c, Stage 7 0eabe1a9, Stage 8 closeout records final documentation. Earlier 0.75 snapshots and revision to 0.85 preserved. Retrospective scope assessment 0.90, separately labeled, Codex single exposed rater; R1 exact report/diff/frozen-feedback hashes verified, no actual-work measurement or independent rating. Dedicated complete docs publication, bounded legacy retention, independent reader/version/asset identity and zero docs bulk work in forum/import/resume paths verified. Final focused 60/60, original import/publication/recovery/retraction/classification 31/31, full-library CLI and dynamic/static phone/desktop/browser/no-JS/four-theme acceptance passed. Full suite/deployment/production host unverified. No new scope/dependencies/split or predecessor outcome replacement.

• 2026-10-23 Stage 5 publication checkpoint: explicit “Publish now” authorization executed for the reviewed six replacements; main 1a358bc9. Canonical publication record and independent verification: all 20 refs/2,989 commits match the candidate, target path history and targeted blob storage are absent in a fresh HTTPS clone, fsck passed. Projected total 1.20 reaffirmed, v1/R1/P2, single exposed rater. Existing clones/recovery copies remain preserved; synchronization/disposal and host-retention acceptance are pending, so the full outcome and retrospective closeout remain incomplete. Accepted count unchanged.

Cycle v3/markdown_renderer_extension

2026-10-23: existing deferred cycle joins at resumed Step 1, earlier scores missing, not backfilled. Baseline ad7e8f5fc5570ee5bdcdf08a03b2dfac524c9d83; Codex single exposed rater after removal/renderer/metrics inspection. Frozen R1 hashes verified including exact historical feedback. Refreshed 1,402-document corpus renders without errors; proposed first slice is safe dynamic/static pipe tables with source fallback, mobile/keyboard/theme and publication recovery checks. Projected total 0.65, not remaining work or measured labor; no implementation, independent rating, split success or accepted-count increment. Planning/this index entry remain uncommitted under the Step 1 gate.

2026-10-23 Stage 5 clone-sync checkpoint: user explicitly authorized preservation-aware synchronization; all seven clones now have main/origin-main at 1a358bc9, retained refs and fourteen worktree registrations reconciled, and eight stashes preserved. Audit ad7e8f5f retained. Canonical summary and per-clone evidence. New private stash supplemental mapping preserves non-target content; zero target blobs/path history across retained refs/stashes/worktree HEADs. Private bundles, reflogs/unreachable storage and missing registrations retained; disposal and host/external acceptance pending. Scope v1/R1/P2, exposed single rater, projected total 1.20 reaffirmed; full-removal outcome remains incomplete, accepted count unchanged.

2026-10-23 renderer extension Step 2 handoff: Step 1 explicitly approved; feature description scopes standalone pipe tables, alignment, escaped/code pipes, exact-width rows, semantic headers/safe links, readable whole-block fallback and ordinary dynamic/static phone/keyboard delivery with publication recovery. Stable cycle v3/markdown_renderer_extension, scope v1 clarified, same baseline/R1/P2/exposed single rater; frozen hashes reverified, 0.65 total reaffirmed. Zero new dependencies; Step 2 and implementation unapproved. Planning/ledger remain uncommitted; no measured effort, outcome acceptance or accepted-count change.

2026-10-23 renderer extension Step 3 handoff: Step 2 explicitly approved; development plan defines five bounded stages: normal-reader tables, adversarial boundaries/safety, accessible reader, copied publication/recovery, corpus/theme acceptance. Stable v3/markdown_renderer_extension, v1/R1/P2, same baseline and exposed single rater; R1 hashes reverified, 0.65 total reaffirmed, prior checkpoints preserved. Five planned/zero completed stages; no implementation approval, measured effort, outcome acceptance or accepted-count change. Plans/ledger remain uncommitted awaiting Approved Step 3.

2026-10-23 renderer extension Step 4 closeout: Step 3 approved; canonical implementation and outcome, branch feature/markdown-renderer-tables. Scope v1/R1/P2, same baseline and exposed single rater. Planning 073fb5f6a; Stages 1–4 ec3155f37, 2eecbf33e, 2a3e27046, 483ec05bb, Stage 5 closeout follows. Five planned/five completed stages. Step 4 entry 0.65 reaffirmed before implementation; projected 0.65 preserved, retrospective scope 0.70 separately assessed. 37 distinct focused PHP cases pass across stage runs, metrics fixture, zero-error frozen 1,402/current 1,405 document renders; all 66 original table documents classified (116 rendered tables, one nested fallback, two orphan source rows in a mixed document). Dynamic/static/discovery theme/viewport matrix and complete copied-package publication/failure recovery pass; no dependency delta. Full suite, deployment, physical devices and maintainer comfortable-fit/acceptance pending; parent removal outcome incomplete, no measured labor, independent rating or accepted-count increment.

2026-10-23T14:22:42.464645+00:00 renderer extension maintainer handoff: user said “Looks great” and explicitly authorized merge and moving on. Functional result accepted for merge; study comfortable-fit/sizing judgment remains unknown, so no inferred study accepted-count increment. Retain projected 0.65/retrospective 0.70, all earlier checkpoints and parent incomplete-removal status. Wider Docs column noted as separate deferred layout follow-up; next syntax work starts its own assessment/approval cycle.

2026-10-23T07:44:54+00:00 concurrent checkouts Step 1 v4: current assessment and checkpoint incorporates the separately authorized manual synchronization trial. First automated slice is explicit registry, fetched-source preview, eligible branch updates and per-checkout recovery; rewritten-history detection hands off to separately authorized migration. Five checked-out main branches aligned to 1a358bc9 and verified clean; other refs/worktrees and dirty clones remain untouched. Operational trial is not automated-slice completion or a study acceptance. Original baseline and v1–v3 retained; rewritten checkout target disclosed. Same stable cycle/R1/P2/exposed rater; projected total unavailable pending exact frozen feedback. Documentation revision only; implementation unapproved.

2026-10-23T08:18:05+00:00 concurrent checkouts Step 2 handoff: Step 1 v4 explicitly approved.

Scope v4/original baseline/R1/P2/exposed rater retained; current rewritten checkout disclosed. Total projection unavailable pending frozen feedback recovery; no reconstructed earlier score, implementation or accepted outcome. Awaiting Approved Step 2.

2026-10-23T09:50:06+00:00 concurrent checkouts Step 3 handoff: explicit Step 2 approval received. Development plan/checkpoint defines seven stages for shared private registry, safe history evidence, saved previews, revalidated fast-forwards, merges/recovery, CLI docs and WSL terminal acceptance. Already-fetched/unknown divergence is blocked absent reconciliation evidence; no automatic migration/discovery. Scope v4/original baseline/R1/P2/exposed rater unchanged; projected total remains unavailable pending frozen feedback recovery. No implementation or accepted outcome; awaiting Approved Step 3.

2026-10-23T10:09:28+00:00 concurrent checkouts Step 4 closeout: Approved Step 3 recorded; planning b1b33e0b8, seven implementation stages plus Stage 1 JSON correction on feat/concurrent-checkouts. Canonical entry/stages/outcome: explicit private registry, source/history evidence, signed preview, revalidated apply, feature merges, recoverable partial results and WSL terminal acceptance delivered. Final scoped PHP 20/20 (wrapper has 32 real-Git cases) plus actual interruption test 1/1; 33 acceptance cases collectively passed, syntax/diff passed. Full suite/actual IntelliJ UI and live enrollment remain unverified; no main merge/push. Scope v4/original baseline/R1/P2 and exposed rater preserved; numeric projection and retrospective scope assessment unavailable pending frozen feedback recovery. No measured effort or accepted-count increment; maintainer fit/acceptance pending. Final Stage 7 revision recorded in debug handoff.

Codex single exposed rater after task-952 diagnostics and import/publication source inspection; no pristine intake score reconstructed. Projected total unavailable pending frozen R1 report/diff recovery. Recommendation: supported absent-target validation through import publication, interrupted retry and queued snapshots, with stale-content/reappearance/authority/concurrency verification. Related to v3/retraction_effects, whose broader incomplete outcome is unchanged. No implementation, measured effort, accepted outcome or count increment. Planning and ledger remain uncommitted awaiting Approved Step 1.

2026-10-23 Step 1 scope v2 correction: user clarified that “import” was mistaken and requested renamed plans committed for later dev work. Corrected snapshot assessment covers direct/queued base and update publication, retries and shared-guard regressions. Stable cycle v3/absent_retraction_import retained, with v1 history, baseline/R1/P2/exposed rater unchanged; numeric projection still unavailable. Explicit documentation-commit authorization overrides the planning commit timing only; no Step 1 approval, implementation, measured effort or accepted outcome.

2026-10-23T19:20:50Z absent-target snapshot Step 1 scoring revision: user requested option difficulty estimates. Canonical option comparison and snapshot: A 0.85 recommended total; B 1.20 (split discussion); C 0.35 (fallback only, successful publication unresolved). Exact host-local R1 report/diff/feedback hashes verified; new dated ratings supersede current unavailability without backfilling historical checkpoints. Stable v3/absent_retraction_import, scope v2/original baseline/R1/P2 and Codex single exposed rater retained. No new application inspection, measured labor, independent outcomes or acceptance increment; Step 1/implementation unapproved, revisions uncommitted.

2026-10-23T19:25:12Z absent-target snapshot Step 1 scope v3: canonical revision adopts per-build affected-post/retraction exclusion and continued publication through target reappearance; later builds retain existing authority validation. Abort-on-reappearance trim rejected. Recommended projected total 0.70, superseding v2 0.85 for reduced same-build resolution scope; B 1.20 / C 0.35 unchanged. Stable v3/absent_retraction_import, original baseline, R1/P2, exposed single rater and historical checkpoints preserved; exact R1 hashes reverified. Prior work included, no new source inspection or measured effort/accepted outcome. Step 1/implementation unapproved; revisions uncommitted.

2026-10-23T19:37:36Z absent-target snapshot Step 2 handoff: Step 1 scope v3 explicitly approved.

Limited shared-source inspection disclosed; no runtime validation, measured labor or accepted outcome. Earlier-base leakage remains an explicit early validation risk. Await Approved Step 2; no implementation or commit.

2026-10-23T19:43:15Z absent-target snapshot Step 3 handoff: Step 2 approved; development plan/checkpoint defines five stages for scoped validation, base filtering, stale-base exclusions in update consumption, queued/shared recovery and actual-reader acceptance. 0.70 total reaffirmed, stable cycle/scope v3/original baseline/R1/P2/exposed rater retained; exact hashes verified. Reader thread-only replacement identified statically; explicit exclusion is inside approved Step 2. No runtime verification, measured effort or outcome acceptance; await Approved Step 3, plans uncommitted.

2026-10-23T20:16:56Z absent-target snapshot Step 4 closeout: canonical summary, branch feat/absent-retraction-snapshot, scope v3/original baseline/R1/P2/stable v3/absent_retraction_import retained. Planning fd4fa3839, four stage commits plus final Stage 5 commit; five scoped stages complete. 0.70 projection preserved, separate 0.80 retrospective scope assessment, Codex single exposed rater; exact R1 hashes verified. Direct/configured queued base/update publication, build-local exclusion/reappearance, later authority, stale-base/expansion removal, rootless post Likes and recovery delivered. Focused 57/57, final strengthened absent tests 11/11, browser 16/16; bounded frozen-doc import/static recovery 2/2. Optional frozen full suite interrupted after 75 passes/no recorded failures in long import acceptance; no full-suite claim. Real installed service-worker upgrade/physical devices/deployment/main merge/live repair or task retry unverified or outside scope. Zero dependency delta; no measured labor, independent outcome or accepted-count increment; maintainer fit/acceptance pending.

2026-10-23 task-list merge acceptance: user accepted the corrected appearance (“Good enough”) and authorized merging into main. Functional UAT accepted; study comfortable-fit judgment remains unknown, so no study accepted-count increment. Preserve v3/markdown_task_lists/v1 clarified/R1/P2, projected 0.35 and retrospective 0.40, prior failed appearance outcome and renewed evidence. Main integration retains all current main cycles/provenance; deployment, full suite and physical AT/device acceptance remain separate.

2026-10-24T04:47:13+00:00: standing P2 enrollment, baseline bce2c29e37be4a06a25e2a3c6e022249e8d90101; source/production-report/reproduction exposure disclosed before intake. Codex single exposed rater, exact R1 hashes verified; 0.65 total for safe high-traffic publication with absent-target exclusions, stale-content/concurrency verification and operator recovery. Earlier diagnosis included, no pristine intake or measured labor claimed. Same cycle across worktrees; no independent split outcome or accepted-count increment. Planning updates remain uncommitted.

2026-10-24T05:06:56+00:00: high-traffic absent retractions Step 2 handoff: Step 1 Option A explicitly approved. Requirements/checkpoint defines normal cold/refresh/warm serving, absent-target and attributable-content exclusion, concurrency/privacy safety and same-host operator recovery. 0.65 total reaffirmed, same stable cycle/v1/original baseline/R1/P2/exposed rater. Production re-enable and missing refresh-cron setup are operator acceptance steps; local acceptance does not establish host success. Offline-bootstrap fatal handling explicitly deferred. No implementation, measured labor or accepted outcome; await Approved Step 2.

2026-10-24T05:09:04+00:00: high-traffic absent retractions Step 3 handoff: Step 2 approved. Plan/checkpoint contains five stages for scoped admission, safe HTML render input, normal cache/refresh wiring, races/shared recovery and Apache/operator acceptance. 0.75 projected total, revised from 0.65 after inspecting full-model summaries/ownership and renderer isolation requirements; scope v1/original baseline/R1/P2/exposed rater unchanged, prior snapshots retained. Frozen R1 hashes verified; no independent rating, measured labor or accepted outcome. Implementation unapproved; await Approved Step 3.

2026-10-24T05:21:41+00:00: high-traffic absent-target Step 4 closeout: summary and study outcome. Same scope v1/original baseline/R1/P2/stable cycle and exposed rater. Planning bf659506f plus five stage commits on fix/high-traffic-absent-retractions; safe excluded derivation, normal cache/refresh, races and Apache/browser recovery delivered locally. Final focused 108/108, bounded static/import 2/2, actual Apache and browser checks passed. 0.75 projected total retained; retrospective scope assessment 0.75, measured labor unavailable, maintainer fit/acceptance pending. Production deployment/cache-hit/cron checks and physical devices/full suite unverified; no accepted-count increment. Zero dependency delta, no core schema change or canonical repair. Deferred offline-bootstrap fatal handling retained.

2026-10-24T05:43:09+00:00: production follow-up for v3/high_traffic_absent_retractions: refresh failed after 36.325 seconds at the generic worker-limit check. Production timeout checkpoint preserves failed host acceptance and records precise limit/stage diagnostics (19/19 focused checks). Existing 0.65/0.75 projections and 0.75 retrospective scope record remain historical; no new numeric estimate, measured labor or accepted outcome invented. Production performance repair pending stage evidence; zero dependency change.

Cycle v3/retraction_sweep_diagnostics

2026-10-24T05:12:43Z: standing P2 enrollment; scope v1/R1, baseline 4f75d2a1a5a1905d2af22473271aaa942929ff75. Canonical intake and Step 1 handoff (planning artifact deleted at user request on 2026-10-24): 0.85 projected total, reaffirmed at handoff, Codex single exposed rater after report/planning/reference and limited reader/CLI inspection; no pristine intake reconstructed. Exact frozen R1 hashes verified. Recommend bounded read-only diagnostics with CLI/JSON/status/worker reasons and unchanged cleanup authority. Related original sweep and absent-target snapshot cycles remain distinct; no implementation, live repair, measured work or accepted-count increment. Await Approved Step 1; planning/ledger uncommitted.

2026-10-24T05:19:50Z retraction sweep diagnostics Step 1 revision: canonical extended-estimate record (planning artifact deleted at user request on 2026-10-24) enables the extension for this cycle following the requested v0.3.0-beta.1 assessment update. First current A/B/C v1 whole-cycle ratings 0.85 / 1.30 / 0.40, with subjective ranges and split recommendation for B; formal recommended A total 0.85 reaffirmed. Stable v3/retraction_sweep_diagnostics, scope v1/original baseline/R1/P2 and single exposed rater unchanged; exact hashes reverified, prior checkpoints retained. No backfill, implementation approval, measured effort or accepted-count change; planning uncommitted on main after separately authorized upgrade merge.

2026-10-24T05:21:25Z retraction sweep diagnostics Step 2 handoff: Step 1 Option A explicitly approved; canonical requirements/checkpoint (planning artifact deleted at user request on 2026-10-24) define bounded read-only diagnosis, unchanged cleanup authority, human/JSON and private run/status/worker reason propagation, production recovery guidance and failure/redaction/permission verification. 0.85 total reaffirmed; stable v3/retraction_sweep_diagnostics, scope v1/original baseline/R1/P2/exposed single rater retained, exact frozen hashes reverified. Extended estimates inherited; no stage estimates yet. Ledger bookkeeping included in scope; no implementation, live repair, measured effort or accepted-count change. Await Approved Step 2; planning uncommitted.

2026-10-24 — Canceled at user request: delete the retraction sweep diagnostics plan rather than implement it. Step 1, Step 2 and the associated debug log were removed; preceding checkpoint values, stable cycle ID, R1/P2, exposure and Step 1 approval history remain above. Step 2 was not approved and no implementation was performed. Proposed direction is immediate canonical content deletion plus a retained retraction record in the same commit, with later history purge and accepted delayed unavailability; this does not authorize implementation. Existing diagnostics report is retained as historical evidence. This supersedes the earlier awaiting-approval status; no completed or accepted outcome, no measured effort or new score.

Cycle v3/retraction_simplification

2026-10-24T16:26:32Z — standing P2 enrollment, scope v1/R1, baseline 22134259876481199aacff6f6b2cd39a811236a9.

Eight planned/zero completed stages. Exact frozen hashes verified; Codex single exposed rater, current source df313cf0, other checkout 63314e6cf, prior exposure retained. Extended estimates remain disabled; debug enabled. Original v1 1.50 and v2 Step 2 1.00 retained; no measured effort, independent child observation or accepted-count change. Plans remain uncommitted awaiting Approved Step 3; history purge remains separate and unimplemented.

2026-10-25T18:04:54Z — explicit user activation of extended estimates for v3/retraction_simplification, applied to all three existing plans. Earlier disabled state and missing original option/stage ratings remain historical. First current Step 1 option ratings: A/v1 1.50, B/v1 1.80, each full two-release scope; recommendation/split unchanged. Step 2 and Step 3 release-1/v2 whole-cycle 1.00 independently reaffirmed. First current supplemental stage-work values S1/v1–S8/v1: 0.20, 0.20, 0.30, 0.25, 0.25, 0.30, 0.20, 0.25; not additive or measured time. Stage 8 owns shared acceptance/closeout. Original baseline/R1/P2, exact frozen hashes verified, single exposed Codex rater retained; no independent outcome or accepted-count change. Existing Step 1/2 approvals preserved, Step 3 still awaits approval; documentation only, uncommitted.

2026-10-25T19:13:19Z — retraction simplification Step 4 closeout: Step 3 explicitly approved; entry, eight stages and outcome.

Extended S1–S8 original values retained; retrospectives 0.20, 0.20, 0.30, 0.25, 0.25, 0.30, 0.20, 0.40. Planning fd5c6849 plus eight scoped stage commits; final revision recorded in debug handoff. Immediate deletion/retained record, migration, reader/import compatibility, removed publication gates and stateless deferred cleanup delivered locally. Final PHP regression 122/122, API 18/18, browser/theme/menu/offline and 18,931-artifact QDB-derived CLI acceptance pass. Full-suite results and reproduced baseline failures are explicitly retained; no all-green claim. Production recovery/deployment/merge, physical devices and maintainer comfortable-fit/acceptance pending. History purge/release 2 remains unimplemented, original full outcome incomplete. Zero dependency delta; no measured labor, independent outcome or accepted-count change. Earlier canceled diagnostics cycle retained, not revived.

2026-10-25: v3/repository_archive_readme locally complete on feat/repository-archive-readme. Closeout preserves original baseline, all 0.25 projections and scope v2. Retrospective cycle scope 0.25, single exposed Codex rater, R1/P2; extended mode disabled. Three stages deliver shared tar/ZIP guidance, collision-safe notes and normal download/import/image recovery. Focused 25/25 passed after correcting the initially invalid direct-import instruction. No packages, schema/UI changes or deployment; full suite not run. Measured labor unavailable, maintainer comfortable-fit/acceptance pending, accepted-outcome count unchanged. Worktree copies represent the same observation.

2026-10-27 UTC: Step 1 Option A re-approved. Step 2 rewritten for scope v3; 0.20 reaffirmed. Superseded v2 Step 2 draft (Option C dedicated Tools page, capability-filtered nav, 0.50) not retained as a file. Same baseline/R1/P2/rater; no implementation or accepted outcome.

2026-10-27 UTC: Step 2 approved. Step 3 handoff 0.20 reaffirmed, scope v3; stage-work originals S1 0.10, S2 0.07 (not summed). Same baseline/R1/P2/rater; no implementation or accepted outcome.

2026-10-27 UTC: Step 3 approved; Step 4 entry 0.20 reaffirmed. Closeout: two stages delivered on feat/high-traffic-toggle (planning 8742dc96, Stage 1 072ad8a2, Stage 2 closeout commit). Stage retrospectives S1 0.10, S2 0.06; cycle retrospective scope assessment 0.20, not measured effort. Two pre-existing LocalAppSmoke failures reproduced at baseline. Maintainer comfortable-fit judgment and acceptance pending; no accepted-count increment.

Cycle v3/site_operations_page

2026-10-27 UTC: standing P2 enrollment, start c462cc92 on feat/high-traffic-toggle. Intake and Step 2 handoff 0.40 for a Tools › Operations page holding high-traffic mode, nav icons and read-only view; Step 1 skipped. Prior exposure to predecessor's Option C (0.50) disclosed. Claude Code single exposed rater, R1 hashes verified earlier today. No implementation or accepted outcome; planning uncommitted.

2026-10-27 UTC: Step 2 approved. Step 3 handoff 0.40 reaffirmed; stage-work S1 0.18, S2 0.07, S3 0.05 (not summed). Same start/R1/P2/rater; no implementation.

2026-10-27 UTC: Step 3 approved; Step 4 entry 0.40 reaffirmed on new branch feat/operations-page. Closeout: three stages (planning aab96984, S1 d160c1ab, S2 b364f71f, S3 closeout commit). Stage retrospectives S1 0.16, S2 0.07, S3 0.03; cycle retrospective scope assessment 0.30, not measured effort. Maintainer judgment and acceptance pending; no accepted-count increment.

Cycle v3/ui_shell_navigation

2026-10-27T03:37:00Z intake, standing enrollment P2, scope v1/R1, baseline 83fba59802ce6f4ba022b1c429b534dda216edd2 (branch ui-redesign-mockups). Scope v1: cycle 1 of the UI redesign checklist, the app shell and navigation on every page (top bar with three destinations, New post and account menu; rare destinations and theme choice moved into the account menu; phone tab bar; theme hooks; icon-theme mapping; all registered themes checked). 0.90 intake projected total, recorded before implementation inspection. Exact R1 hashes verified. Claude single exposed rater: the rater authored the round 1 mockups, plan and checklist in earlier sessions (which named the affected templates) but had not inspected the shell implementation in this cycle. Extended estimates enabled (new-cycle default). No implementation, measured effort or accepted outcome; ledger update uncommitted under planning rules.

2026-10-27 Step 1 handoff: assessment and snapshots. Options A 1.20 (split discussion), B 0.85 recommended (new shell as a ZenMemes navigation presentation-slot choice), C 0.55. Scope v1/R1/P2/baseline unchanged; the drop from 0.90 is new understanding after inspecting the shell, nav items, presentation slots and theme selectors, not a scope change. Claude single exposed rater. No implementation, measured effort or accepted outcome; planning and ledger uncommitted.

2026-10-27T04:18:58Z Step 2 handoff: Step 1 Option B explicitly approved. Feature description/checkpoint defines the ZenMemes-only shell, unchanged reachability for every viewer state with and without JavaScript, unchanged headers on other sites, preserved navigation scripts, and the 13-theme-plus-Auto and icon-theme checks. Scope v1/R1/P2/baseline unchanged; 0.85 total reaffirmed, Claude single exposed rater. No implementation, measured effort or accepted outcome; awaiting Approved Step 2, records uncommitted.

2026-10-27T04:23:38Z Step 3 handoff: Step 2 explicitly approved. Development plan/checkpoint defines eight stages: slot and item placement, shell markup and account menu, desktop styles with early theme skeleton, phone tab bar, navigation scripts, permitted themes, icon themes, acceptance/closeout (including the baked-artifact rebuild). One nav element is placed by CSS for desktop and phone, so the traced single-nav.nav and unique unread-status assumptions hold. 0.90 projected total, up from 0.85 on new understanding (browser tests to update, baked-artifact rebuild), not scope change. Stage work estimates 0.15/0.12/0.10/0.20/0.15/0.15/0.08/0.10, not summed. Scope v1/R1/P2/baseline unchanged; Claude single exposed rater. No implementation, measured effort or accepted outcome; awaiting Approved Step 3, records uncommitted.

2026-10-27 Step 4 entry and closeout: Step 3 approved; Step 4 summary, branch feat/ui-shell-navigation, planning 062c19f4b. 0.90 reaffirmed at entry, no in-cycle revision; separate 0.95 retrospective scope assessment; Claude single exposed rater. Eight planned stages complete (stage work original/retrospective 0.15/0.12, 0.12/0.12, 0.10/0.10, 0.20/0.15, 0.15/0.20, 0.15/0.12, 0.08/0.06, 0.10/0.15; not summed). Scope v1/R1/P2/baseline unchanged. Other-site headers byte-identical, guest JS on/off phone/desktop matrix and 15 navigation browser tests pass; full suite partial (712 run, 711 passed, the 1 failure caused by a concurrent docs edit), not a full-suite claim. Pull-only deploy request recorded as separate follow-up work; merging current main pending. Zero dependency delta; no measured labor or accepted-count increment; maintainer fit pending.
