Session 0022.0 — Transcript

App: engineering Start: 2026-06-11T21-50 (PST) Type: planning-and-executing Claude-Session: 427aaeb4-622f-427f-b4fe-277b0f944a93 Status: PLACEHOLDER — claimed at session start; finalized at session end.

This file reserves session ID 0022 for engineering. The driver replaces this body with the full transcript and renames the file to its final SESSION-0022.0-TRANSCRIPT-2026-06-11T21-50--.md form at session end.

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).

Posture: autonomous (yolo) — planning-and-executing default (§6.5).

Plan

Anchor: design specs/gitea-forge-backups.md (engineering#30) — SLICE-4. Eligibility: ELIGIBLE (R2a). Plan archived at plans/2026-06-11-gitea-backups-slice-4.md.

SLICE-4 = restore runbook + one proving drill (recovery proven, BO-3). Tasks:

1. DOC-1 infra/backup-restore-gitea.md — RB-1 (full restore), RB-2 (single repo), RB-5 (drill); RB-3/RB-4 stubbed → SLICE-5.
2. infra/gitea-backup/restore-drill.sh — re-runnable RB-5 harness (fetch/restore/verify/teardown/drill); scratch gitea/gitea:1.26.2 container, SQLite, fresh secret (prod's never imported — INV-3/§6.6). 3–4. Execute the drill — newest snapshot → scratch restore → verify (DB row counts + sample-repo HEAD-SHA == live forge) = T-2 green.
3. RB-2 evidence + teardown (scrub container + secret-bearing work dir).
4. Record — DOC-1 drill log + infra build-state + spec changelog (v0.2.3).
5. Ship — PR + merge; comment engineering#30.

Key facts confirmed at planning: forge = SQLite, Gitea 1.26.2, single Docker container; bucket healthy (7 snapshots, newest gitea-dump-20260612T041529Z.zip, ~1.1 GB); Docker 28.x + gitea gcloud config (read) present on laptop.

Deferred decisions

Autonomous-mode low-confidence calls the driver made and would have liked operator input on. Appended as the session runs; surfaced at finalize. Empty if none.

• Stale freshness marker (carried to SLICE-5). markers/last-success.json reads 20260611T044540Z while six newer gitea-dump-*.zip objects (through 20260612T041529Z) landed — archive upload healthy, marker-refresh path looks broken. Out of SLICE-4 scope (restore picks the newest real object, not the marker), but it's exactly what SLICE-5's ALR-1 checker reads, so flagged as a SLICE-5 input rather than fixed here.
