# Repo Manager architecture and foundation

## Goal

Turn the repository genesis and scope into an implementable contract and first
vertical slice, coordinated by the State Hub retirement project.

## Define the repository representation

```task
id: RMGR-WP-0001-T01
status: todo
priority: high
state_hub_task_id: "43468b5c-f49f-43c3-bf30-922fadc1f8c0"
```

Specify stable repository identity, locations, revisions, classifications,
declared records, relationships, health, lifecycle, and coach/lead/director
agent assignments. Identify which fields are authoritative in the repository
and which are replaceable projections.

## Define observation and command contracts

```task
id: RMGR-WP-0001-T02
status: todo
priority: high
state_hub_task_id: "2453316f-33f4-41d0-bcb5-c7552db88d68"
```

Define normalized repository facts, governed commands, authorization context,
idempotency, correlation, evidence, failure behavior, and hub-core integration
without exposing persistence models.

## Inventory extraction candidates

```task
id: RMGR-WP-0001-T03
status: todo
priority: high
state_hub_task_id: "deee10be-25e1-4ee7-b47e-93dc816916c9"
```

Map relevant State Hub repository registration, host-path, workplan parsing,
consistency, reconciliation, dependency, file-mutation, and outbox behavior to
keep/adapt/replace/retire dispositions with compatibility tests.

## Select the implementation foundation

```task
id: RMGR-WP-0001-T04
status: todo
priority: medium
state_hub_task_id: "0a041f4e-09fc-4f69-8a48-ac396186bc8f"
```

Choose the runtime, persistence, package, migration, test, and deployment shape
consistent with the ordinary HelixForge platform. Record the decision before
substantial implementation.

## Prove one repository end to end

```task
id: RMGR-WP-0001-T05
status: todo
priority: high
state_hub_task_id: "5036a248-1c47-423f-be8d-4fd232896c31"
```

Register and represent one independently valid repository, index its declared
work, emit a normalized change through hub-core contracts, apply one authorized
file-backed transition, and prove the resulting Git evidence and rebuilt
projection.

## Acceptance

- [ ] The authority and data model are explicit.
- [ ] Observation and command contracts are versioned and testable.
- [ ] State Hub extraction candidates have dispositions.
- [ ] The implementation foundation has a recorded decision.
- [ ] One repository completes the end-to-end vertical slice.
