# CUST-WP-0010b — Domain and Repository Goals

## Purpose

Capture strategic intent at two levels — domain and repository — as first-class
entities in the State Hub. Domain goals express the high-level direction for a
domain; repository goals refine that into actionable targets for a specific repo.
Workplans can be linked to a repo goal so the goal hierarchy is visible when
planning and reviewing progress.

## Schema

### `domain_goals`
- One active goal per domain at a time (partial unique index enforced by DB)
- `status`: active | archived | superseded
- Activating a new goal auto-supersedes the previous active one

### `repo_goals`
- Multiple active goals per repo, ordered by `priority` (integer, lower = higher)
- Optional FK to `domain_goal_id` — traces which domain goal drove this repo goal
- `status`: active | paused | completed | archived

### `workplans.repo_goal_id`
- Nullable FK added so workplans can be tagged to a specific repo goal

## MCP Tools Added

- `create_domain_goal(domain_slug, title, description)`
- `get_domain_goals(domain_slug, status?)`
- `activate_domain_goal(goal_id)`
- `create_repo_goal(repo_slug, title, description, domain_goal_id?, priority?)`
- `get_repo_goals(repo_slug, status?)`
- `update_repo_goal(goal_id, ...)`

## Seed Data

**railiance domain goal** (active):
> "Improve the railiance repositories so that I can securely set up a three
> phoenix server setup to provide for the coulomb infrastructure with proper
> IT-Security, Backup and Update management in a fully automated way."

**railiance-cluster repo goal** (active, priority 10):
> "Bootstrap a new server securely at hosteurope that can function as the
> second kubernetes host for the railiance setup. Focus on security and single
> server; defer automated provisioning (railiance-hosts) for now."
