Walked its open +questions; the operator zeroed in on one sub-question — *"does each RFC +really need its own repo? it's a single document"* — asked three times +across the session, which signaled it was the real decision. + +### Arc 2 — First (wrong) topology answer, then the correction + +Initially folded a "maturity-gated, manifest-glued" decision into #35 +(keep per-RFC repos at graduation). The operator pushed back. Reading +SPEC §1 showed two of the three pro-per-repo arguments were **nullified +by the design**: (a) per-repo Gitea permissions — wrong, all git ops go +through a single bot and auth is app-side; (b) fork-to-contribute — +wrong, raw git push isn't a supported path. What survives (isolated +history, multi-file-bundle container) is thin for a single document. +Corrected the #35 note, added **#36** (decide repo-per-RFC vs. +meta-only; operator leans meta-only — a SPEC §1 + §13 framework change, +not something #35 bakes in). **RFC-0002 graduation paused** so a second +per-repo data point isn't canonized while #36 is open. + +### Arc 3 — Build the authoring lane (credential hygiene) + +Operator chose "file I read by reference," then improved on it +mid-build: *"create a script you run so you never read that file. Can it +be encrypted?"* — which is the better shape. Built +`ohm-infra/scripts/rfc-authoring.sh`: verb-based gitea-API wrapper, +token in the **macOS Keychain** (encrypted at rest, no plaintext file), +piped to `curl --config -` so it never enters argv/stdout/transcript. +Several subshell-scope bugs found and fixed during smoke-testing +(token-resolution exit not propagating; HTTP status not surviving the +command-substitution subshell). Trace-verified the token never appears +on a curl argv line. Operator loaded a `write:repository`-scoped PAT; +`whoami` (needs `read:user`) 403s but that's irrelevant — authorship is +confirmed from PR author fields instead. + +### Arc 4 — Prove #35 end-to-end with a real RFC + +Operator's working title: **Informed Consent** (already named in +RFC-0001 as a future entity — a real corpus entry, not a throwaway). +Drafted `rfcs/informed-consent.md` as a super-draft matching the +original `human` propose-commit shape. Branch `propose/informed-consent` +→ commit (authored **Ben Stull**, not the bot) → push → +`pr-create` (PR #7) → `pr-merge --method merge --delete-branch`. File +landed on ohm-meta main; `/api/rfcs` showed the super-draft live — +**the webhook reconciled a CLI merge automatically**, answering #35's +named failure-mode question in the affirmative for ohm-meta merges. + +### Arc 5 — The operator catches a real bug + +Operator: *"I see Informed Consent as both a Super-Draft and a Pending +Idea in the UX."* Investigated: gitea truth = PR #7 closed+merged, but +`/api/proposals` still listed it. Root cause: I merged with +`--delete-branch`; gitea then reports the PR `head.ref` as the +`refs/pull/7/head` sentinel; `refresh_meta_pulls` parses the slug from +the branch name → `None` → row skipped → `cached_prs.state` frozen at +`open` forever. `cached_rfcs` reconciled off the push event (super-draft +appeared) but `cached_prs` never did (phantom idea). The web UX never +hit this because it leaves branches in place +(`default_delete_branch_after_merge=false`). + +### Arc 6 — Fix, test, release, deploy + +Fixed in `backend/app/cache.py`: when gitea reports an empty or +`refs/pull/` sentinel ref, recover the real branch name from the stored +`cached_prs.head_branch` row (migration 002 retains it). Applied to both +`refresh_meta_pulls` and `refresh_rfc_repo`. Added regression test +`test_merged_idea_pr_with_deleted_branch_clears_proposal` — **proven by +reverting the fix and watching it fail with the exact phantom**, then +restoring. Full suite **375 green**. Released **rfc-app v0.30.1** +(branch → bump VERSION + package.json → CHANGELOG → commit → tag → +push origin + benstull mirror, SHAs match → ff-merge main). Bumped +ohm-rfc pin 0.30.0 → 0.30.1. Deploy hit a stale-ADC reauth wall twice +(operator's `gcloud auth application-default login` had to actually +complete — first attempts didn't rewrite the credential file); once the +ADC minted a token, **deploy succeeded, deploys.id=43, v0.30.1 live**. +Verified: `/api/health` = 0.30.1, `/api/proposals` = `[]` (phantom +gone), `informed-consent` intact as a super-draft. + +### Arc 7 — Durable artifacts + protocol close + +Wrote `ohm-infra/RFC-AUTHORING-LANE-RUNBOOK.md` (#35's required +gesture-note).
