User approval meaning — Railspike debug log

2026-10-19T18:49:50Z — Step 2

Necessary/useful instructions

  • Source: RAILSPIKE.md, Instruction Summaries and Step Guide. Selecting the narrow next independent item and stating the Step 2 gate kept historical feedback distinct from implementation authorization. Retain.

  • Source: docs/workflow/step2_feature_description.md, Shared component inventory and Risks. Reading the existing review exposed the distinction between new-member approval and account-key grants; preserving that distinction prevents misleading copy. Retain.

Redundant/unnecessary instructions

No supported findings.

Inapplicable instructions

  • Source: RAILSPIKE.md, Experimental Effort Estimation. Candidate selection remains pending in the study ledger; this request did not explicitly select the study. No scoring or ledger mutation applies.

  • Source: RAILSPIKE.md, Step 4 commit cadence. This handoff is an unapproved Step 2 draft; branching, implementation, and commits do not apply yet.

Uncertain assessments

  • The summary has no explicit queue/status field. Selecting feature 03 follows summary order after checking prior composer and personality records; multiple agents remains a separately recorded deferred follow-up.

2026-10-19T18:51:25Z — Step 3

Necessary/useful instructions

  • Source: docs/workflow/step3_development_plan_do.md, Completion Contract and Key Risks. Mapping actual pending-list execution revealed confirm: false; a consequence-only change would omit the requested explanation on that path. Retain the normal-entry and early-validation requirements.

  • Source: docs/workflow/step3_development_plan_after.md, approval gating. Keeps this plan uncommitted and implementation pending explicit Step 3 approval. Retain.

Redundant/unnecessary instructions

No supported findings.

Inapplicable instructions

  • Source: docs/workflow/step3_development_plan_do.md, known environment recovery. No particular device failure is reported by this feedback item; desktop/phone review checks are proportional coverage, not a claim to resolve unrelated mobile reports.

  • Source: RAILSPIKE.md, Experimental Effort Estimation. This cycle remains unselected; no study checkpoints or ledger edits apply.

Uncertain assessments

  • Enabling the existing shared confirmation on pending actions interprets Step 2's requirement to explain consequences before confirmation. It adds no second dialog, but changes the previous one-click pending-list behavior; that change is explicit in the plan for approval.

2026-10-19T18:56:32.882550+00:00 — Step 4

Necessary/useful instructions

  • Source: step4_implementation_before.md, Planning Docs Commit Gate. Planning commit 758f5c32 preserved approved scope before implementation; separate stage commit 62fa6ecc contains the completed change and its summary. Retain.

  • Source: step4_implementation_do.md, Stage Boundary Protocol. Focused policy/API checks, mock-browser cancellation/failure recovery, and actual signed HTTP publication supplied distinct evidence without claiming full-suite coverage. Retain.

Redundant/unnecessary instructions

No supported findings.

Inapplicable instructions

  • Schema migration, navigation icons, deployment and external services: none changed or required by this approved presentation slice.

  • Experimental effort estimation: cycle unselected; no study result inferred.

Uncertain assessments

No supported findings.
