Session 0041.0 — Transcript

Date: 2026-05-29 Start: 2026-05-29T05-45 (PST implied) Status: IN PROGRESS

Goal: Settle ROADMAP #36 — adopt the meta-only RFC repository topology (no per-RFC repos; graduation = in-place state flip), revise the rfc-app SPEC + code, fold RFC-0001 back into its meta entry, ship rfc-app v0.31.0, deploy to OHM.


Plan / TODO

  • Claim session ID (0041).
  • Close stale ohm-meta PR #2 (duplicate "Graduate human" PR).
  • Read SPEC §1/§3/§13 + map the rfc-app graduation code surface.
  • Operator decisions: settle #36 meta-only; fold RFC-0001 back (single model); reframe SPEC for the "single content repo" deployer story + track the ohm-meta→ohm-content rename for #33.
  • Revise SPEC §1/§2/§3/§4/§9.8/§13 to meta-only (operator signed off on the diff).
  • rfc-app code: collapse graduation to an in-place flip; re-key the branch/PR/chat dispatch on meta-residency; remove the per-repo read path / guards; simplify the bot + GraduateDialog.
  • Tests green (full suite 375 passed); frontend builds.
  • Bump VERSION + package.json + CHANGELOG (v0.31.0).
  • RFC-0001 fold-back content migration (restore body to meta entry, repo: null, archive wiggleverse/rfc-0001-human).
  • Commit + tag v0.31.0 + push origin + benstull mirror.
  • Bump ohm-rfc pin to v0.31.0.
  • flotilla deploy ohm-rfc-app + verify.
  • Strike ROADMAP #36; capture #33 rename follow-up.
  • Finalize + publish transcript.

Launch prompt

OHM driver session. Reserve session ID. Context from session 0040.0: #35 (operator RFC authoring lane) proven; "Informed Consent" super-draft live; #36 OPEN + BLOCKING — decide repo-per-RFC vs. meta-only (operator leans meta-only); OHM live v0.30.1 (deploys.id=43), rfc-app main 732b23b; loose end ohm-meta PR #2 (stale graduate-human) open.


Pre-session state

  • OHM live: v0.30.1, healthy (/api/health ok).
  • rfc-app main at 732b23b (v0.30.1).
  • ohm-meta: human is active (RFC-0001, repo: wiggleverse/rfc-0001-human, graduated 2026-05-26, body stripped to frontmatter), informed-consent is a super-draft. wiggleverse/rfc-0001-human exists with a 22KB RFC.md.
  • PR #2 was a duplicate stale graduation PR (the real graduation merged 2026-05-26 via another PR); closing it was correct.

Turn-by-turn arc

Arc 1 — Orient + operator decisions

Claimed 0041. Closed ohm-meta PR #2 (the authoring-lane token is write:repository, not write:issue, so the explanatory PR comment got a 403 — closure itself succeeded; runbook gap noted: commenting needs write:issue scope). Discovered RFC-0001 is a real graduated per-repo RFC (22KB RFC.md), which made its fate the pivot for #36.

Operator decisions (via AskUserQuestion):

  1. Settle #36 meta-only (full code + deploy, not SPEC-only).
  2. Fold RFC-0001 back to a single meta-only model (restore body to the meta entry, archive the repo, delete the per-repo read path) — rather than grandfathering it as a dual path.
  3. Reframe the SPEC for the "single content repository" deployer story (a framework-level win, not just OHM), keep META_REPO config term stable, and track the concrete ohm-meta → ohm-content rename as a #33 follow-up (do NOT rename this session).

Arc 2 — SPEC revision (signed off)

Rewrote SPEC §1 (topology: one meta repo, no per-RFC repos, + a boxed supersession note + deployer-facing "content repository" framing), §2 (repo: always-null, README index, body-migration note), §3 (active = in-place state), §3.2, §4 (cache/reconciler), §9.8 (the four per-repo handoff frictions struck through), and §13 in full (retitled "in place"; §13.2 two-field dialog, no repo name, no open-PR precondition; §13.3 "The flip" = single open+merge PR, body kept, no transaction/no rollback, old sequence struck through; §13.4 nothing moves; §13.5 reversal softened; new §13.6 RFC-0001 fold-back migration record). Operator approved the diff as the contract.

Arc 3 — rfc-app code (meta-only)

  • api_graduation.py rewritten: GraduateBody drops repo_name; graduate_check is two fields; the orchestrator is a two-step flip (open_prmerge_pr) that keeps the body and sets repo=None; no rollback (merge-failure cleans up the unmerged PR + branch). New graduate_failed audit kind; removed the graduate_repo_* / graduate_rollback steps.
  • bot.py: open_graduation_pr drops repo_full + the "moves to RFC.md" PR body; deleted create_rfc_repo_for_graduation, seed_graduated_rfc, delete_rfc_repo.
  • Dispatch re-keyed on meta-residency (repo IS NULL) in api_prs.py + api_branches.py (_is_meta_resident, _is_meta_target, the cache-refresh dispatch); removed the two "RFC has no repo" 409 guards; promote-to-branch now names an active RFC's auto-branch edit-<slug>-<hex> so the shared meta-repo cache can attribute it; the §9.8 read-only-edit-branch guard scoped to legacy per-repo only; pre_graduation_history scoped to legacy per-repo only.
  • cache.py: refresh_meta_branches includes meta-resident active RFCs (synthetic main + edit branches). hygiene.py: branch-delete repo resolution keyed on meta-residency.
  • GraduateDialog.jsx + api.js: two-field dialog, two-step stack, no repo field, no blocking-PR popover.
  • Tests: rewrote test_graduation_vertical.py to the flip model (happy-path keeps body + no per-repo + no repo audit rows; coexists with open body-edit PR; open-pr failure leaves super-draft; merge failure cleans up; edit branch surfaces normally post-graduation); updated test_hygiene_vertical.py + test_e2e_smoke.py. Full suite: 375 passed. Frontend builds clean.
  • Bumped VERSION + frontend/package.json to 0.31.0; CHANGELOG entry with RFC 2119 upgrade steps (incl. the MUST fold-back step).

Arc 4 — (in progress) content migration + release + deploy

To be filled in: RFC-0001 fold-back, tag/push, pin bump, deploy, verify.


Decisions / notes for the record

  • Deploy ordering: v0.31.0 is dual-capable (handles both legacy per-repo actives and meta-only actives), so it is deployed FIRST, then RFC-0001 is folded back — avoids a window where the live app 409s on a repo-null active.
  • Authoring-lane runbook gap: ohm-gitea-token is write:repository scope; PR/issue commenting needs write:issue. Either widen the scope or document that the lane can open/merge/close PRs but not comment.
  • #33 follow-up captured: rename wiggleverse/ohm-meta → ohm-content (rename repo → update META_REPO overlay → update the Gitea webhook → re-point catalog + redeploy). Decided this session; deferred to a #33 ops session.
