Repo classification sector migration baseline — 2026-08-23

Result

The live State Hub registry contains 121 repositories, of which 117 are active. Thirty-eight active records have a domain association but no projected category; they are not complete Repo Classification Standard projections.

The gap has two distinct causes:

14 local checkouts do not contain .repo-classification.yaml;
24 local checkouts contain the file, but the live registry still projects a null category.

Those paths require different fixes. The first requires a repo-owner classification decision. The second requires validation and normal Repo Manager/State Hub reconciliation; it must not be repaired by directly editing registry rows.

Migration rule

The older labels custodian, railiance, markitect, coulomb_social, personhood, foerster_capabilities, and netkingdom identify projects, estates, or bodies of canon. They are not sector-domain aliases.

Keep those names in project titles, topic identity, architecture, provenance, and historical records. For repo_classification.domain, apply the current standard's user/customer question and select one allowed sector. Useful review seeds are:

Legacy identity	Likely sector starting point	Review constraint
Custodian	`infotech`	Add `agents` only where agent infrastructure is materially served.
Railiance	`infotech`	Use `industrials` only for repos whose intended users are actually in rail/industrial operations.
Markitect	`infotech`	Use `agents` as primary only for agent-native products, not merely AI-assisted tooling.
Coulomb.social	`communication`	Add other sectors only when a concrete product audience warrants them.
Personhood	`agents` or `government`	Rights/governance scope is ambiguous and requires owner review.
Foerster Capabilities	`agents`	Preserve the named research project separately from market metadata.
NetKingdom	`infotech`	Identity, tenancy, and access control are platform capabilities, not a market alias.

This table is a triage aid, not an automatic rewrite map.

Reproduction

Run make classification-status. The command reads active repository records from GET /repos/, compares every registered local_path with its .repo-classification.yaml, validates present source files against the canon, and reports owner-source gaps separately from projection gaps. Use make classification-check as the eventual fail-closed convergence gate. The initial observed counts were:

registered: 121
active: 117
active with null category: 38
missing source file: 14
source file present but unprojected: 24

Acceptance is zero unexplained null category projections among active repos. A governed archived/decommissioned record or an explicit classification exclusion is not unexplained.

Implementation checkpoint

The same query after API reconciliation reports:

registered: 121
active: 117
active with projected classification: 103
active with null category: 14
missing source file: 14
source file present but unprojected: 0

All 24 present source files were validated and projected through State Hub's REST API. Twenty-one completed through the existing registration utility. rail-knative, rapp-qonto, and rapp-sbom-nexus initially exposed a utility defect because classification PATCHes also sent Git identity metadata; their multi-root fingerprints exceeded the single-SHA database field. State Hub revision 57c3e08 separates those concerns, supports primary-domain updates, and uses the same single-root fingerprint projection as token attribution. The three live repros subsequently completed without invalid results.

The initial remaining null set exactly equalled the 14 missing-source repositories above. Each owner received a State Hub handoff requiring human review, local validation, a committed .repo-classification.yaml, and revision evidence. rein-aharness subsequently delivered revision 81f9279; validation, digest verification, and API projection passed. The current checkpoint is 104/117 classified, 13 missing-source/null-category repos, and zero present source files left unprojected. This is governed pending work rather than an unexplained projection failure.

The first automated convergence run additionally found inter-hub still marked active with a projected classification even though its registered checkout had been removed. Custodian retirement evidence already records Core Hub as the sole production surface from 2026-07-08. The supported State Hub archive transition corrected the stale row while preserving its history. The current active denominator is therefore 116: 103 classified, 13 missing-source/null-category, zero present-but-unprojected, and zero invalid source records.
