Railspike debug log — feature_flag_change_pages

2026-10-19T04:26Z — Step 1

Mode source: .railspike_debug_on present at project root (new workflow default).

Necessary/useful instructions

  • RAILSPIKE.md "Planning Artifacts" / step1 "Structure": fixed section order and Original Query rule kept the assessment short and reviewable. Retain.

  • step1 "Guardrails" (no implementation detail): prevented route/schema design from creeping in. Retain.

Redundant/unnecessary instructions

  • No supported findings.

Inapplicable instructions

  • Directory organization rule: applies only after Approved Step 3.

Uncertain assessments

  • Enhancement Requests section is heavy for a Step 1 that records only prior-turn work; unclear whether completed pre-workflow work must be listed. Clarify.

2026-10-19T04:37Z — Step 2

Necessary/useful instructions

  • step2 "Shared component inventory": surfaced four duplicated link sites and the root-approval precedent. Retain.

  • step2 "Risks (2–4)": forced early validation of the legacy-record gap. Retain.

Redundant/unnecessary instructions

  • No supported findings.

Inapplicable instructions

  • "Known user or environment": no user or environment named.

  • Documentation-only scope rules.

Uncertain assessments

  • Step 2 forbids schema detail, yet the read-model risk needs a hint; handled as a risk only.

2026-10-19T04:43Z — Step 3

Necessary/useful instructions

  • step3 "Key Risks near the top": surfaced the shared-file conflict with the unmerged layout branch early. Retain.

  • "Stages ≤1 hour / ≤50 lines": drove splitting by surface. Retain.

Redundant/unnecessary instructions

  • The Before, Do and After files restate the no-commit and approval rules already in RAILSPIKE.md; consider consolidating.

Inapplicable instructions

  • Known-user replay stage; documentation-only rules.

Uncertain assessments

  • The one-page limit is tight for six stages with six fields each; the plan is terse to fit and may exceed it.

2026-10-19T06:03Z — Step 4

Necessary/useful instructions

  • Step 4 "Stage Boundary Protocol": forced per-stage verification and summary updates; it caught that earlier "smoke test passes" claims came from running a test file directly. Retain.

  • Planning-commit gate and organization rule: gave a clean planning commit and kept the unrelated Backup redesign Step 1 files out of it. Retain.

Redundant/unnecessary instructions

  • Final Verification Checklist items 2-3 repeat the commit-cadence rules in RAILSPIKE.md; consider consolidating.

Inapplicable instructions

  • Documentation-only verification; known-user replay stage.

Uncertain assessments

  • Instructions don't say how to handle a branch base when unmerged work is a dependency; the base was chosen without an explicit answer. Clarify.

  • Instructions don't say whether pre-existing failing tests need a baseline check; one was done on main.
