Status frontend target — Railspike debug log
2026-10-19T20:54:12Z — Step 1
Necessary/useful instructions
docs/workflow/step1_solution_assessment.md, Structure: comparing explicit configuration with discovery exposed the risk of accepting an unrelated port-80 listener. Retain the options and recommendation requirement.RAILSPIKE.md, Key Rules: the Step 1 approval gate keeps this user-requested assessment separate from implementation. Retain.
Redundant/unnecessary instructions
No supported findings.
Inapplicable instructions
Experimental effort estimation: this cycle was not selected for the study.
Uncertain assessments
None.
2026-10-19T21:41:42Z — Step 2
Necessary/useful instructions
step2_feature_description.md, Known user or environment: required separate port-8001 and production port-80 acceptance and recovery, preventing a local-only pass from claiming production validation. Retain.step2_feature_description.md, Shared component inventory: inspection identified the CLI, TUI launcher, private configuration, and web collector consumer; clarified reuse and preserved the web's no-probe behavior. Retain.
Redundant/unnecessary instructions
No supported findings.
Inapplicable instructions
Documentation-only scope: the approved direction requires an application change.
Uncertain assessments
None.
2026-10-19T21:44:55Z — Step 3
Necessary/useful instructions
step3_development_plan_do.md, Key Risks and dependent-work gates: placed instance-proof and lifecycle validation ahead of automatic discovery; prevents substituting any responding listener for verified identity. Retain.step3_development_plan_after.md, known-environment replay: acceptance separately names local port 8001, port-80 fixtures and production evidence, with unavailable deployment checks pending. Retain.RAILSPIKE.md, commit discipline: retained branch/planning commit and per-stage summary/commit boundaries without committing draft plans. Retain.
Redundant/unnecessary instructions
No supported findings.
Inapplicable instructions
Database-schema planning and documentation-only scope; neither applies to this cycle.
Uncertain assessments
Stage sizing is provisional until instance-proof feasibility is validated; material expansion must trigger replanning before dependent work.
2026-10-19T21:56:39Z — Step 4
Necessary/useful instructions
step4_implementation_before.md, planning-doc gate: isolated approved artifacts onfeature/status-frontend-targetin planning commit1f7e49d1before any summary or source changes. Retain.step4_implementation_do.md, Stage Boundary Protocol: all five stages include summary updates and commits (ea68d865,0528f0a8,13fd0a6c,d495f798,ef106678). Retain for recoverable staged work.step4_implementation_after.md, environment and baseline verification: isolated network acceptance exercised exact local port 8001 and a port-80 fixture while leaving real listeners untouched; three broader failures were reproduced on base, and a startup timing failure passed on both revisions on replay. Production acceptance remains explicitly pending. Retain.RAILSPIKE.md, Enhancement Requests: the independently requested feedback-summary review was recorded and committed separately asfde98f83, preserving its boundary from frontend changes. Retain.
Redundant/unnecessary instructions
No supported findings.
Inapplicable instructions
Documentation-only implementation and schema-change verification: this cycle changes application behavior without a read-model schema change.
Experimental effort study: this cycle was not selected.
Uncertain assessments
The Step 3 approximate line-count sizing is a weak fit for security/routing fixtures: Stage 2 required considerably more test code than the nominal size, while retaining a single bounded proof/probe responsibility. Consider clarifying whether test fixtures count toward that heuristic; no reliable active-time measurement was collected.
