## Launch prompt
`/goal next` → resumed the stored next-goal from memory:
**Build gitea-forge-backups SLICE-4** — restore runbook (RB-1/RB-2 →
`infra/backup-restore-gitea.md`) + one proving drill onto a scratch Gitea,
T-2 green, drill recorded, per `specs/gitea-forge-backups.md` §7.2 (engineering#30).
## Outcome (one line)
SLICE-4 shipped: restore runbook + re-runnable drill harness written, **T-2
restore drill green** on a scratch Gitea (recovery now proven, BO-3), PR #56
merged, engineering#30 updated. Only SLICE-5 (freshness alert) remains.
## Pre-state
- engineering#30 (Gitea forge backups, type/feature P1). Solution Design graduated
session 0010 (`specs/gitea-forge-backups.md`, v0.2.2). SLICE-1/2/3 complete
(off-host bucket+IAM+scope; 4-hourly `gitea dump` timer with live ~1.1 GB dumps;
T-4 retention proven). SLICE-4 was the next slice (recovery proven, BO-3).
- Clean baseline: branch `gitea-backups-slice-4` off `origin/main` at `9c8926f`,
isolated worktree. Three in-flight `--INPROGRESS` placeholders surfaced at claim
(0009, 0017 from 2026-06-10 — stale; 0021 from 21-42 — concurrent); autonomous
posture + already-isolated worktree → proceeded.
## Session arc (turn-by-turn, uncurated)
1. **Gate + claim.** `/goal next` classified as planning-and-executing →
`wgl-planning-and-executing`. Claimed session **0022** (atomic push). Eligibility
check: **ELIGIBLE (R2a)** — anchored on the graduated Solution Design.
2. **Ground the plan (§3.3 spec read).** Read spec §6.5 (restore mechanics: `gitea
dump` has no symmetric `gitea restore`), §6.8 (T-2 = restore drill onto scratch
Gitea is the bootstrap-infra gate), §7.2 SLICE-4 (work + DoD), §10.1/§11 (RB-1/2/5,
DOC-1 `infra/backup-restore-gitea.md`). Probed the live system:
- forge = **SQLite**, single Docker container, **Gitea 1.26.2** (`/api/v1/version`).
- bucket healthy: 7 snapshots, newest `gitea-dump-20260612T041529Z.zip` (~1.1 GB).
- Docker 28.x + `gitea` gcloud config (read) present on the laptop → laptop is
the scratch target (no new cloud resource; spec D-6 bootstrap infra).
- **Anomaly found:** marker `markers/last-success.json` read `20260611T044540Z`
while six newer dumps had landed — archive upload healthy, marker-refresh
looks broken. Logged as a SLICE-5 deferred decision.
3. **Wrote the plan** (`superpowers:writing-plans`) →
`plans/2026-06-11-gitea-backups-slice-4.md`. Seeded the transcript `## Plan`
block + checkpoint-published.
4. **Task 1 — DOC-1** `infra/backup-restore-gitea.md` (RB-1 full-forge, RB-2
single-repo, RB-3/4 stubbed→SLICE-5, RB-5 drill + drill log). Committed.
5. **Task 2 — drill harness** `infra/gitea-backup/restore-drill.sh`
(`fetch`/`restore`/`verify`/`teardown`/`drill`). Committed.
6. **Tasks 34 — execute the drill (the risk-bearing part; iterated 3×, the R-2
"restore proves harder than expected" risk SLICE-4 exists to surface):**
- fetch: 1.05 GiB snapshot downloaded + `unzip -t` clean.
- **bug 1:** inspected the archive — `data/` maps to APP_DATA_PATH (`/data/gitea`)
and carries a prod conf copy + a raw `gitea.db`; the original overlay order
would clobber my fresh `app.ini` + SQL-loaded DB. Fixed: lay `data/` first,
then overwrite `app.ini`, then load `gitea-db.sql` on top.
- **bug 2:** first restore put files at malformed paths (`/data/ /data/...`) —
`ini_get` left leading whitespace in parsed app.ini values. Rewrote the awk to
split on the first `=` and trim. Restore then succeeded; scratch forge up at
1.26.2.
- **bug 3:** verify's sample-repo clone failed "Update your password" — the
drill admin was created with `must_change_password=true`. Fixed with
`--must-change-password=false` + delete-before-create (idempotent); also
tightened verify so an unreadable scratch HEAD fails T-2 instead of falsely
printing GREEN.
- **T-2 GREEN:** DB row counts 32 repos / 398 issues / 268 PRs / 5 users (loaded
from `gitea-db.sql`); `wiggleverse/engineering` HEAD cloned from the scratch
forge (`9c8926f`) **matched** the live forge's `git ls-remote` — faithful
restore, not mere presence.
7. **Task 5 — RB-2 evidence + teardown.** Sample clone showed 116 commits + all
branches recovered (single-repo recoverable → BO-2). Teardown scrubbed the
container + secret-bearing work dir (INV-3/§6.6 confirmed gone).
8. **Task 6 — record.** DOC-1 drill log first entry; infra-doc build-state SLICE-4
bullet; spec change log → **v0.2.3**. Committed the harness fixes + the record
in two logical commits.
9. **Task 7 — ship.** Pushed `gitea-backups-slice-4`; opened **PR #56** (Gitea
API, admin Keychain token); merged (`7a1ba81`, branch auto-deleted); commented
SLICE-4-complete + the stale-marker finding on **engineering#30**.
10. **Finalize.** Archived the plan to `engineering` `plans/` (`d1e1e61`); updated
memory; removed the merged worktree + local branch; published this transcript.
## Wrong turns / notes
- The three restore-drill bugs (overlay order, ini whitespace, admin password) were
all execution-time discoveries, not plan defects — the plan correctly anticipated
iteration (R-2) and the harness now bakes in the fixes for the semi-annual re-run.
- No prod state touched; the live forge was read-only (`git ls-remote`,
`/api/v1/version`). Bucket access was read-only.
## Spec / handbook citations
- `specs/gitea-forge-backups.md` §6.5 (manual restore), §6.8 (T-2), §7.2 SLICE-4,
§10.1 (RB-1/2/5 + drill cadence), §11 (DOC-1), §6.6/INV-3 (secrets hygiene),
R-5 (version match), BO-2/BO-3, INV-6.
- Handbook §4.1/§4.2 (doc-leads-automation; deterministic harness for the
repeatable drill), §5.4 (branch→PR→merge, worktree isolation), §6.5 (autonomous).
## Deferred decisions
- **Stale freshness marker (carried to SLICE-5).** `markers/last-success.json`
read `20260611T044540Z` while six newer `gitea-dump-*.zip` objects (through
`20260612T041529Z`) landed — archive upload healthy, **marker-refresh path looks
broken**. Judged out of SLICE-4 scope (restore picks the newest real object, not
the marker), folded into the SLICE-5 next-goal, and filed as a comment on
engineering#30. *Operator: confirm or redirect for SLICE-5.*
## Next-session prompt
```
/goal Build gitea-forge-backups SLICE-5 — off-VM freshness/failure alert (Cloud Scheduler → Cloud Run/Function reading bucket object/marker age; T-3 green; finalize RB-3/RB-4), AND fix the broken marker-refresh path in gitea-backup.sh (markers/last-success.json is ~24h stale while dumps land), per specs/gitea-forge-backups.md §7.2 (engineering#30)
```
Read `project_gitea_forge_backups.md` first. SLICE-5 closes the capability
(failure visibility, BO-5). The marker bug must be fixed before/with the checker,
else ALR-1 fires a false staleness alarm.
