docs: align INTENT with work-record framework; propose ISSUE-WP-0005
Rewrite INTENT for UUIDv7+canonical identity, file-first topology, dual lifecycles, intake+promotion findings path, and shipped vs target connector surface. Add ISSUE-WP-0005 to implement mapping/store/CLI and close SCOPE gaps; mark alignment-review remediation done.

## Why it exists
|
||||
|
||||
The Coulomb org collaborates through **external issue trackers** (Forgejo /
|
||||
Gitea, GitHub, Jira, …) when a human counterparty, open-source workflow, or
|
||||
third-party process requires it. Those systems are not the fleet's internal
|
||||
coordination substrate — that role belongs to **work records** authored as
|
||||
repo files (ADR-001) and indexed by state-hub.
|
||||
The Coulomb org coordinates work through **work records**: identified,
|
||||
lifecycle-bearing artefacts authored as **repo files** (ADR-001), indexed by
|
||||
state-hub, under a closed kind registry (`workplan`, `task`, `intake`,
|
||||
`decision`, `engagement`, `register-entry`). That framework is defined in
|
||||
`the-custodian/canon/standards/work-record-types_v0.1.md` and the founder-
|
||||
reviewed architecture draft (`WorkOrchestrationArchitectureDraft.md` v0.2).
|
||||
|
||||
External issue trackers (Forgejo / Gitea, GitHub, Jira, …) remain necessary
|
||||
when a human counterparty, open-source workflow, or third-party process lives
|
||||
there. They are **not** the fleet coordination substrate and are **not** a
|
||||
work-record kind. Canon is explicit: *issue-core issues become external
|
||||
projections only.*
|
||||
|
||||
issue-core exists so that, **when an external tracker is actually in use**,
|
||||
every actor can project, query, and update issues through one backend-agnostic
|
||||
interface — and so the fleet can keep a stable **mapping** between internal
|
||||
work-record identity (UUIDs) and external issue ids.
|
||||
the fleet has one backend-agnostic surface to project, query, and update
|
||||
tracker issues — and (target) a durable **mapping** between:
|
||||
|
||||
Without a connector layer, external-tracker access fragments across:
|
||||
- Per-repo Gitea / Forgejo API clients (siloed, no shared mapping)
|
||||
- Ad hoc `gh` / `glab` / curl scripts (untyped, unaudited)
|
||||
- Agent-local integrations (lost when the agent ends)
|
||||
- Direct SaaS API calls (rate-limited, off-network, no UUID back-reference)
|
||||
| Side | Identity |
|
||||
| --- | --- |
|
||||
| Internal work record | **UUIDv7** (bookkeeping / mapping key) + **canonical name** for humans and agents (`ISSUE-WP-0005-T01`, …) |
|
||||
| External issue | `(backend, external_id)` (+ URL) |
|
||||
|
||||
issue-core gives humans and machines one stable surface to talk to external
|
||||
trackers, and (target shape) one place that records which internal work record
|
||||
projects to which external issue.
|
||||
Without a connector layer, external-tracker access fragments across per-repo
|
||||
API clients, ad hoc `gh`/`glab`/curl, agent-local integrations, and SaaS
|
||||
calls with no stable back-reference to the work record.
|
||||
|
||||
## Honest history (pivot, 2026-07-20)
|
||||
|
||||
issue-core was originally built and documented as a **task landing zone**: a
|
||||
single observable place where humans, activity-core, and agents filed work via
|
||||
CLI / REST / future NATS, with Gitea as the default store. That framing
|
||||
contradicted the fleet decision that work originates as **repo files** and
|
||||
that Forgejo issues are not the coordination mechanism.
|
||||
single place where humans, activity-core, and agents filed work via CLI /
|
||||
REST, with Gitea as the default store. That framing contradicted file-first
|
||||
work records and produced a live incident (`daily-todo-md-stale-review` →
|
||||
IssueSink → Forgejo issues that were never fleet work).
|
||||
|
||||
The pivot was ratified while reviewing a live incident: activity-core's
|
||||
`daily-todo-md-stale-review` ActivityDefinition routed findings through
|
||||
`IssueSink` → issue-core → Forgejo, producing issues nobody was meant to see
|
||||
as fleet work. Founder-reviewed architecture draft §4.2
|
||||
(`the-custodian/research/WorkOrchestrationArchitectureDraft.md` v0.2,
|
||||
2026-07-20) and the work-record canon
|
||||
(`the-custodian/canon/standards/work-record-types_v0.1.md`, CUST-WP-0060)
|
||||
settled the role below. Capability (CRUD, backends, REST, sync) stays; the
|
||||
*purpose* is retargeted to connector, not origin.
|
||||
Architecture draft §4.2 and the work-record types standard (CUST-WP-0060)
|
||||
retargeted purpose: **connector, not origin**. Capability (CRUD, backends,
|
||||
REST, backend-to-backend sync) stays; product north star is projection and
|
||||
mapping at the boundary.
|
||||
|
||||
## What it is
|
||||
|
||||
A **connector framework to external issue-tracking systems**, with a
|
||||
pluggable-backend architecture.
|
||||
|
||||
Responsibilities:
|
||||
- **Projection / CRUD**: create, read, update, close, and comment on issues in
|
||||
the configured backend (Gitea/Forgejo, SQLite offline cache, planned GitHub /
|
||||
GitLab / Jira).
|
||||
- **Mapping (target)**: maintain internal work-record UUID ↔ external issue id
|
||||
so a work record can carry a back-reference to its tracker projection
|
||||
(design: `docs/uuid-external-id-mapping.md`).
|
||||
- **Boundary sync**: two-way, transclusion-like sync *at the boundary* when
|
||||
collaboration runs through a third-party tracker — not as the internal
|
||||
pluggable-backend architecture. Issue-core is **not** part of the internal
|
||||
execution loop.
|
||||
- **CLI + REST**: human and automation surfaces for direct backend use when a
|
||||
tracker is intentionally switched on.
|
||||
- **Optional ingestion**: `POST /issues/` remains for authenticated clients that
|
||||
deliberately create tracker issues; it is **not** the primary fleet path for
|
||||
internal findings or work origin.
|
||||
|
||||
Backends today: **local SQLite**, **Gitea**. Planned: **GitHub**, **GitLab**, **JIRA**.
|
||||
### Shipped today
|
||||
|
||||
The CLI entry points are `issue` (primary) and `issue-core` (explicit alias).
|
||||
- **Tracker CRUD** on configured backends: create, read, update, close /
|
||||
reopen, comment (and related label / assignee / milestone operations).
|
||||
- **Backends:** local SQLite (offline store / cache), Gitea (Forgejo-
|
||||
compatible in deployment). Further backends (GitHub, GitLab, Jira) are
|
||||
product growth, not yet implemented.
|
||||
- **CLI** (`issue` / `issue-core`) and **Python library** for direct backend use.
|
||||
- **REST** (`issue serve`, optional `[api]` extra): intentional create
|
||||
(`POST /issues/`), list/get/claim (`GET`/`PATCH /issues/`).
|
||||
- **Backend↔backend sync** via CLI (e.g. Gitea ↔ SQLite) — *not* the same as
|
||||
work-record boundary sync below.
|
||||
- **Optional intentional ingestion** of TaskSpec payloads for clients that
|
||||
deliberately create tracker issues (not the fleet path for internal findings).
|
||||
|
||||
Until an external integration is actually switched on for a given workflow, the
|
||||
connector layer should add **zero load** to the internal coordination loop.
|
||||
### Target connector (stage-3 work-record architecture)
|
||||
|
||||
- **Mapping store:** durable work-record **UUIDv7** ↔ `(backend, external_id)`,
|
||||
resolvable also by canonical work-record id; design in
|
||||
`docs/uuid-external-id-mapping.md`.
|
||||
- **Project / link CLI and API:** project an existing work record outward, or
|
||||
link an existing external issue; idempotent on active mapping.
|
||||
- **Boundary sync (when enabled):** optional two-way, transclusion-like sync
|
||||
*at the boundary* for fields needed by external collab. **Zero load** when
|
||||
no mapping/integration is configured.
|
||||
- **Extend TaskSpec** with optional `work_record_uuid` (and kind/id denorm);
|
||||
do **not** overload `triggering_event_id` (activity lineage only).
|
||||
- Optional work-record file back-reference (canon-owned field names), mirroring
|
||||
hub `state_hub_*_id` write-back patterns.
|
||||
|
||||
Until an external integration is **switched on** for a given workflow, the
|
||||
connector must add **no coordination load** to the internal loop.
|
||||
|
||||
## What it is NOT
|
||||
|
||||
issue-core is intentionally narrow. The following live elsewhere:
|
||||
- **Not the origin of work records.** Work records originate as repo files
|
||||
(or schema-valid blocks in context) per ADR-001 and the work-record types
|
||||
standard. issue-core does not create workplans, tasks, intake items,
|
||||
decisions, engagements, or register entries as fleet artefacts.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Not the origin of work records.** Work records originate as repo files per
|
||||
ADR-001 (`the-custodian/canon/architecture/adr-001-workplans-as-repo-artefacts.md`
|
||||
and the work-record types standard). issue-core provides the
|
||||
**external-tracker projection** when one is in use. Internal tasks, intake
|
||||
items, workplans, and decisions are not created here.
|
||||
- **Not a work-record kind.** Tracker issues are not registered in
|
||||
`work-record-types`. Unmapped backend issues sit **outside** the work-record
|
||||
spine; they are external artefacts for tracker UI collaboration until mapped
|
||||
to a work-record UUID.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Not the internal execution / coordination loop.** Claiming and execution
|
||||
run on work records directly (harness intake via NATS/activity-core per its
|
||||
stated target). Fleet orientation is state-hub + repo files, not Forgejo
|
||||
issue lists.
|
||||
- **Not the internal execution / coordination loop.** Humans and agents
|
||||
**claim and execute** on work records (harness / NATS / activity-core as
|
||||
feeds). Fleet orientation is state-hub views over indexed files — not
|
||||
Forgejo issue lists. (Avoid calling this “intake” when you mean claim/execute;
|
||||
**`intake` is a work-record kind** for sparks/findings.)
|
||||
|
||||
- **Not a project manager.** Phases, campaigns, milestones spanning multiple
|
||||
tasks, dependency graphs across tasks, gantt-style scheduling — that is the
|
||||
domain of workplans / project tooling. issue-core deals in individual
|
||||
external issues, not in plans composed of tasks.
|
||||
- **Not the default home for automation findings.** Internal findings belong
|
||||
as **`kind: intake`** (then **promotion** to task / workplan / decision /
|
||||
engagement). They must not silently become Forgejo issues via IssueSink.
|
||||
Emitter policy: activity-core **ACTIVITY-WP-0022** (from ISSUE-WP-0004-T05 /
|
||||
CUST-WP-0060).
|
||||
|
||||
- **Not a spawn audit trail.** When an upstream service deliberately emits an
|
||||
issue here, the *spawn event* belongs to the emitter (e.g. activity-core's
|
||||
`task_spawn_log`). issue-core stores the resulting issue and optional
|
||||
traceability fields (`triggering_event_id`, future work-record UUID) — not
|
||||
the audit-of-creation.
|
||||
- **Not a second autonomy or budget model.** `lane`, `tags`, and budgets live
|
||||
on the work record. Projections carry only what external collab needs
|
||||
(title, body, agreed labels); they must not invent parallel lane/budget
|
||||
semantics on Gitea labels without explicit rules.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Not an event bus.** Communication between services flows over NATS (and
|
||||
state-hub progress events). issue-core consumes or serves specific
|
||||
boundaries; it does not relay events between other services.
|
||||
- **Not a project manager, spawn audit trail, event bus, notification
|
||||
system, or workflow engine.** Plans and dependencies are workplan tooling;
|
||||
spawn audit stays with emitters; NATS/hub own inter-service events;
|
||||
notifications and approval chains live elsewhere. Tracker state machine
|
||||
stays small (`open` / `in_progress` / `blocked` / `closed`).
|
||||
|
||||
- **Not a notification system.** Surfacing "your task changed" to humans is
|
||||
the job of the relevant UI / digest / chatbot layer, not issue-core.
|
||||
### Boundary sync discipline
|
||||
|
||||
- **Not a workflow engine.** State transitions are simple (open → closed, with
|
||||
a few in-between states). Conditional routing, approvals, multi-step
|
||||
workflows — out of scope.
|
||||
Fleet work-record **`status`** (e.g. task `wait → todo → progress → done |
|
||||
cancel`) and tracker **`IssueState`** (`open` / `in_progress` / `blocked` /
|
||||
`closed`) are **distinct vocabularies**. They must not be merged casually.
|
||||
|
||||
- Outward / inward projection uses **explicit mapping rules**.
|
||||
- Inward changes never **silently mutate** ADR-001 work-record files without
|
||||
a defined writer (see mapping design open questions).
|
||||
- Backend↔backend CLI sync is orthogonal to work-record boundary sync.
|
||||

||||

Direct use (human CLI / intentional REST) still goes to issue-core

without creating a work-record origin — useful for tracker admin and
|
||||
collaboration, not for fleet task birth.
|
||||
Gitea/ SQLite GitHub
|
||||
Forgejo cache (planned)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Primary fleet path (coordination):**
|
||||
1. A work record exists in a repo file (or is registered from one).
|
||||
2. Humans/agents claim and execute against that record (and state-hub views).
|
||||
3. **Optionally**, issue-core projects the record to an external tracker and
|
||||
records the UUID ↔ external-id mapping.
|
||||
|
||||
1. Author or promote a **work record** in a repo file (`kind` from the closed
|
||||
registry; findings enter as **intake**, then promote).
|
||||
2. `fix-consistency` indexes the record and write-backs UUIDv7.
|
||||
3. Claim / execute against the work record (and hub views).
|
||||
4. **Optionally**, issue-core **projects or links** the record to an external
|
||||
tracker and records the mapping (target).
|
||||
|
||||
**Secondary path (direct tracker use):**
|
||||
- **Humans** — `$ issue create ...` when deliberately working in a backend.
|
||||
- **Authenticated automation** — `POST /issues/` only when the product decision
|
||||
is "create an external issue," not "spawn fleet work."
|
||||
- **activity-core IssueSink** — must not be the default always-on path for
|
||||
internal findings (see ISSUE-WP-0004-T05 / activity-core follow-up).
|
||||
|
||||
- Humans/agents use CLI/REST when deliberately operating on a backend
|
||||
(tracker admin, pure external collab).
|
||||
- Authenticated `POST /issues/` only when the product decision is “create an
|
||||
**external** issue,” not “spawn fleet work.”
|
||||
- Unmapped issues remain outside the work-record spine.
|
||||
|
||||
**Downstream:**
|
||||
- Backend native UIs (Gitea web, GitHub, …) for external collaboration.
|
||||
- state-hub for fleet lifecycle visibility of *work records*, not of every
|
||||
issue-core row.
|
||||
|
||||
- Backend native UIs for external collaboration.
|
||||
- state-hub for fleet lifecycle of *work records*, not of every issue-core row.
|
||||
|
||||
## Success looks like
|
||||
|
||||
- External trackers are usable through one CLI/API without each agent learning
|
||||
platform-specific clients.
|
||||
- When a work record is projected outward, the UUID ↔ external-id mapping is
|
||||
durable and inspectable (once implemented per the design note).
|
||||
- Internal automation does **not** silently open Forgejo issues for findings
|
||||
that belong in repo work records.
|
||||
- Offline SQLite work syncs cleanly to a remote backend when connectivity
|
||||
- External trackers usable through one CLI/API without per-platform clients.
|
||||
- When a work record is projected, UUIDv7 ↔ external-id mapping is durable and
|
||||
resolvable by canonical name (once implemented).
|
||||
- Fleet `status` and tracker state stay cleanly separated under explicit rules.
|
||||
- Internal automation does **not** open Forgejo issues for findings that belong
|
||||
as intake / promoted work records.
|
||||
- Unmapped tracker issues are not mistaken for fleet work records.
|
||||
- With no integration switched on, the connector adds no load to the internal
|
||||
loop.
|
||||
- Offline SQLite backend sync still works for tracker data when connectivity
|
||||
returns.
|
||||
- With no external integration switched on, issue-core adds no load to the
|
||||
internal loop.

# Implement connector alignment: mapping, docs hygiene, scope gaps vs refined INTENT
|
||||
|
||||
## Origin
|
||||
|
||||
ISSUE-WP-0004 retargeted issue-core’s **docs framing** (connector, not landing
|
||||
zone) and produced a mapping **design** only. A follow-up audit
|
||||
(`docs/intent-work-record-alignment-review.md`) found no hard north-star
|
||||
collision with the work-record framework, but soft frictions (identity,
|
||||
diagram, dual lifecycles, shipped vs target). **INTENT.md was rewritten
|
||||
2026-07-22** to absorb those recommendations.
|
||||
|
||||
**This workplan implements the refined intention against current SCOPE:** the
|
||||
shipped product is still a pre-canon CRUD + TaskSpec shell; the work-record-
|
||||
aware connector (mapping, project/link, boundary-sync discipline, packaging
|
||||
hygiene) is not built. Cross-repo emitter policy remains ACTIVITY-WP-0022.
|
||||
|
||||
## Goal
|
||||
|
||||
Close the gap between:
|
||||
|
||||
| Layer | State at start of this WP |
|
||||
| --- | --- |
|
||||
| **INTENT** | Work-record-aligned connector (2026-07-22) |
|
||||
| **SCOPE §1 shipped** | Models, SQLite/Gitea, CLI, REST TaskSpec, backend sync |
|
||||
| **SCOPE §1.8 / target** | Mapping store/API, boundary sync, work_record_uuid, dual-lifecycle rules |
|
||||
|
||||
Deliver a **minimum viable connector core**: durable mapping + project/link
|
||||
surface + schema extension + status-mapping policy + doc/package hygiene —
|
||||
without turning issue-core back into a work origin or fleet task board.
|
||||
|
||||
## Non-goals
|
||||
|
||||
- Originating workplans/tasks/intake in this service.
|
||||
- Replacing activity-core IssueSink policy implementation (track/coordinate
|
||||
ACTIVITY-WP-0022; do not duplicate).
|
||||
- Full CRDT comment merge or multi-tracker fan-out.
|
||||
- Auto-config from git remotes (ROADMAP Phase 1 — separate).
|
||||
- GitHub/GitLab/Jira backends (unless a task explicitly needs a stub for
|
||||
mapping tests — prefer fake/local backend).
|
||||
|
||||
## Dependencies
|
||||
|
||||
- INTENT.md + SCOPE.md (2026-07-21/22) + `docs/uuid-external-id-mapping.md`
|
||||
- Work-record canon: `the-custodian/canon/standards/work-record-types_v0.1.md`
|
||||
- Architecture §4.2
|
||||
- activity-core ACTIVITY-WP-0022 (emitter default; may complete in parallel)
|
||||
- Optional later: canon PR for work-record YAML back-reference field names
|
||||
|
||||
## Tasks
|
||||
|
||||
## Task: Freeze intent/scope cross-links and residual doc hygiene
|
||||
|
||||
```task
|
||||
id: ISSUE-WP-0005-T01
|
||||
status: todo
|
||||
priority: high
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Ensure INTENT, SCOPE, README “See also”, and the alignment review all point at
|
||||
the refined INTENT and this workplan. Update `docs/intent-work-record-
|
||||
alignment-review.md` with a short “Remediation” note (INTENT rewrite done;
|
||||
implementation tracked here). No new product claims.
|
||||
|
||||
**Acceptance:** Cross-links consistent; review file marks INTENT remediation
|
||||
done; no reintroduction of landing-zone language in those files.
|
||||
|
||||
## Task: Packaging and capability framing cleanup
|
||||
|
||||
```task
|
||||
id: ISSUE-WP-0005-T02
|
||||
status: todo
|
||||
priority: medium
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Align packaging/metadata with connector intent (not “authoritative task
|
||||
lifecycle manager” / multi-agent coordination board):
|
||||
|
||||
- `pyproject.toml` description / keywords / long description if present
|
||||
- `registry/capabilities/capability.infotech.issue-tracking.md` and
|
||||
`CAPABILITY-issue-tracking.yaml` discovery text
|
||||
- `AGENT_INTEGRATION.md` intro + top-level guidance (prefer work records;
|
||||
use issue-core for external trackers)
|
||||
|
||||
**Acceptance:** Grep for “landing zone”, “tasks land”, “authoritative task
|
||||
lifecycle” in package/capability/agent docs is clean or historical-only;
|
||||
capability summary matches SCOPE §1 honesty.
|
||||
|
||||
## Task: Specify dual-lifecycle and projection field rules (normative note)
|
||||
|
||||
```task
|
||||
id: ISSUE-WP-0005-T03
|
||||
status: todo
|
||||
priority: high
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Turn INTENT’s boundary-sync discipline into an implementable policy doc under
|
||||
`docs/` (e.g. `docs/boundary-sync-and-status-mapping.md`):
|
||||
|
||||
- Table: work-record task/intake/… `status` ↔ optional tracker `IssueState`
|
||||
(default: **outward status projection rules**; inward is suggest-only /
|
||||
no silent file write in v1)
|
||||
- Fields that may project (title, body, agreed labels) vs stay on work record
|
||||
only (`lane`, tags policy, budgets, owner spine)
|
||||
- Explicit: unmapped issues outside spine; mapping keys UUIDv7; canonical id
|
||||
for operator UX
|
||||
|
||||
**Acceptance:** Doc reviewed against work-record types standard; referenced
|
||||
from SCOPE §2 and mapping design; ready to drive T04–T06 without re-litigating
|
||||
policy.
|
||||
|
||||
## Task: Implement mapping store (local SQLite)
|
||||
|
||||
```task
|
||||
id: ISSUE-WP-0005-T04
|
||||
status: todo
|
||||
priority: high
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Per `docs/uuid-external-id-mapping.md`:
|
||||
|
||||
- Table `work_record_issue_map` (or equivalent) on local backend / dedicated
|
||||
store used even when CRUD backend is Gitea
|
||||
- Uniqueness: active `(backend, external_id)` and active
|
||||
`(work_record_uuid, backend)`
|
||||
- Domain service `MappingService`: upsert, resolve by UUID, by canonical id
|
||||
(if provided), by external id, detach
|
||||
- Unit tests for idempotent project and uniqueness
|
||||
|
||||
**Acceptance:** Tests pass without a live Gitea; store survives reconnect;
|
||||
SCOPE §1.8 “mapping store” can move toward shipped with an honest partial
|
||||
note until CLI/API land.
|
||||
|
||||
## Task: Project / link CLI (+ optional REST)
|
||||
|
||||
```task
|
||||
id: ISSUE-WP-0005-T05
|
||||
status: todo
|
||||
priority: high
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Ship operator surface:
|
||||
|
||||
- `issue project <work_record_uuid|canonical-id> …` — create external issue
|
||||
if needed, write mapping
|
||||
- `issue map link|show|detach …` — link existing issue, resolve, detach
|
||||
- Optional REST `POST/GET /mappings/` if cheap once CLI works; otherwise CLI
|
||||
first and REST as follow-up task comment
|
||||
|
||||
Does **not** create work records. Creating an external issue without a work
|
||||
record remains existing `issue create` / `POST /issues/` secondary path.
|
||||
|
||||
**Acceptance:** Documented in README/SCOPE; happy-path test with local
|
||||
backend; idempotent re-project returns existing mapping.
|
||||
|
||||
## Task: Extend TaskSpec with optional work_record_uuid
|
||||
|
||||
```task
|
||||
id: ISSUE-WP-0005-T06
|
||||
status: todo
|
||||
priority: medium
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- Add optional `work_record_uuid` (and optional `work_record_id` /
|
||||
`work_record_kind`) to `TaskIngestionRequest`
|
||||
- On present UUID: create/reuse issue **and** upsert mapping (T04)
|
||||
- Without UUID: current behavior (no mapping row)
|
||||
- Keep `triggering_event_id` semantics unchanged (activity lineage)
|
||||
- Tests for both paths; update SCOPE TaskSpec section
|
||||
|
||||
**Acceptance:** Backward-compatible OpenAPI/schema; documented; no requirement
|
||||
that emitters send UUID until ACTIVITY-WP-0022 / intentional project path
|
||||
uses it.
|
||||
|
||||
## Task: Outward status projection (v1 boundary sync subset)
|
||||
|
||||
```task
|
||||
id: ISSUE-WP-0005-T07
|
||||
status: todo
|
||||
priority: medium
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Implement **outward-only** application of T03 rules for mapped records
|
||||
(manual CLI trigger is enough for v1, e.g. `issue map push-status`):
|
||||
|
||||
- Given work-record status input (CLI flag or JSON), update external issue
|
||||
state per policy table
|
||||
- Do **not** write work-record files
|
||||
- Inward sync remains out of scope for this task (document as next)
|
||||
|
||||
**Acceptance:** Policy tests + one integration-style test on local/Gitea mock;
|
||||
SCOPE distinguishes backend sync vs work-record boundary sync clearly.
|
||||
|
||||
## Task: SCOPE inventory refresh after implementation
|
||||
|
||||
```task
|
||||
id: ISSUE-WP-0005-T08
|
||||
status: todo
|
||||
priority: medium
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
After T04–T07, rewrite SCOPE §1 / §1.8 / §2 so shipped vs target matches
|
||||
reality (mapping store, CLI, TaskSpec fields, status push). Link T03 policy
|
||||
doc. Drop stale “design only” claims where implemented.
|
||||
|
||||
**Acceptance:** SCOPE §1 is again the honest inventory; no aspirational
|
||||
leakage into “shipped today.”
|
||||
|
||||
## Task: Coordinate emitter side (activity-core) without implementing it here
|
||||
|
||||
```task
|
||||
id: ISSUE-WP-0005-T09
|
||||
status: todo
|
||||
priority: low
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
- Confirm ACTIVITY-WP-0022 still covers default sink policy
|
||||
- If needed, send a state-hub message or progress note linking ISSUE-WP-0005
|
||||
mapping readiness to when intentional emits should pass `work_record_uuid`
|
||||
- Do not implement activity-core changes in this repo
|
||||
|
||||
**Acceptance:** Cross-link noted in this workplan closure notes; no silent
|
||||
assumption that IssueSink is fixed.
|
||||
|
||||
## Sequencing
|
||||
|
||||
```text
|
||||
T01 (docs links) ─┬─► T02 (packaging/capability)
|
||||
└─► T03 (policy doc) ─► T04 (store) ─► T05 (CLI)
|
||||
└─► T06 (TaskSpec)
|
||||
└─► T07 (outward status)
|
||||
└─► T08 (SCOPE refresh)
|
||||
T09 anytime after T01 (coordination)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
## Acceptance (workplan)
|
||||
|
||||
- [ ] INTENT remains work-record-aligned; review remediation note closed
|
||||
- [ ] Mapping store + project/link usable on local backend
|
||||
- [ ] TaskSpec optional UUID path upserts mapping without breaking old clients
|
||||
- [ ] Dual-lifecycle policy documented and used by outward push
|
||||
- [ ] SCOPE inventory matches code
|
||||
- [ ] Packaging/capability/agent docs no longer sell landing-zone coordination
|
||||
- [ ] activity-core default sink still owned by ACTIVITY-WP-0022
