rename_windark_to_midnight debug log

2026-10-18 UTC, Step 1

Debug mode: enabled (project marker .railspike_debug_on).

Necessary/useful instructions

  • Step 1 "Problem statement (1 sentence)" and options format: kept the stored-value risk central.

Redundant/unnecessary instructions

  • No supported findings.

Inapplicable instructions

  • Step 4 branch and commit rules: not reached.

Uncertain assessments

  • Whether a rename with persistence impact counts as "small"; treated as Railspike-worthy because of stored-preference compatibility.

2026-10-18 UTC, Step 2

Debug mode: enabled (inherited from Step 1).

Necessary/useful instructions

  • Step 2 "Shared component inventory": surfaced the existing stored-theme migration precedent in layout.php.

Redundant/unnecessary instructions

  • No supported findings.

Inapplicable instructions

  • Known user or environment replay: none named.

Uncertain assessments

  • Step 1 questions (alias lifetime, CSS filename) went unanswered at first; the user confirmed both before Step 2 approval and the artifact was revised.

2026-10-18 UTC, Step 3

Debug mode: enabled (inherited from Step 2).

Necessary/useful instructions

  • Step 3 "Key Risks first" and High risk prefix: put the lost-theme risk at the top.

Redundant/unnecessary instructions

  • No supported findings.

Inapplicable instructions

  • Known user/environment replay stage: none named.

Uncertain assessments

  • Stage 1 exceeds the 50-line guideline; accepted as a mechanical rename.

2026-10-19 UTC, Step 4

Debug mode: enabled (inherited from the Step 4 summary).

Necessary/useful instructions

  • AGENTS.md navigation icon rule: prompted the visual Midnight/Word97/Chicago comparison against main.

  • Stage Boundary Protocol: kept the rename, alias and verification as separate commits.

Redundant/unnecessary instructions

  • No supported findings.

Inapplicable instructions

  • Deployment, migration and documentation-only rules.

Uncertain assessments

  • Step 3 asked for active/inactive nav checks; only the /tools/ page state was compared.
