# Dogfooding Session #1 - 2026-01-28

**Objective:** Use miniforge to build N1 conformance tests (bootstrapping)

**Status:** First workflow executed successfully, but agents not invoking LLMs yet

---

## Issues Discovered & Fixed

### Issue #1: Missing Phase Implementations ✅ FIXED

**Problem:** canonical-sdlc-v1 workflow uses phases that aren't implemented

- Workflow needs: `:input`, `:design`, `:test-planning`, `:implement-tests`, `:implement-code`, `:observe`
- Registered: `:plan`, `:implement`, `:verify`, `:review`, `:release`, `:done`

**Root Cause:** Phase registry (components/phase/src/ai/miniforge/phase/registry.clj) only has 6 phase implementations

**Fix:** Changed workflow runner to use simple-test-v1 workflow which only uses registered phases

**Files Changed:**

- bases/cli/src/ai/miniforge/cli/workflow_runner.clj:426 (changed :canonical-sdlc-v1 to :simple-test-v1)

---

### Issue #2: Workflow Format Mismatch ✅ FIXED

**Problem:** Validator expects `:workflow/phases` but newer workflows use `:workflow/pipeline`

**Root Cause:** Migration between old phase-based format and new interceptor-based format incomplete

**Fix:** Switched from simple-v2.0.0 (pipeline format) to simple-test-v1.0.0 (phases format)

**Files Affected:**

- components/workflow/src/ai/miniforge/workflow/validator.clj (expects :workflow/phases)
- components/workflow/resources/workflows/simple-v2.0.0.edn (uses :workflow/pipeline)
- components/workflow/resources/workflows/simple-test-v1.0.0.edn (uses :workflow/phases)

**Action Required:** Complete migration to :workflow/pipeline or update validator to support both

---

### Issue #3: Agents Not Executing ⚠️ OPEN

**Problem:** Workflow phases complete instantly with 0ms duration, 0 tokens

**Evidence:**

```clojure
:plan {:status :completed, :duration-ms 0}
:implement {:status :completed, :duration-ms 0}
:done {:status :completed, :duration-ms 0}
```

**Root Cause:** Unknown - phases execute but agents aren't being invoked to do actual work

**Next Steps:**

1. Check if agent interceptors are wired up
2. Verify LLM client is configured
3. Add debug logging to phase execution
4. Check if mock agents are being used instead of real ones

---

## Workflow Execution Result

**Workflow:** build-n1-conformance-tests.edn
**Phases:** :plan → :implement → :done
**Status:** :completed
**Duration:** 0ms (suspicious!)
**Tokens:** 0 (suspicious!)

**Output:**

```clojure
{:execution {:phases-completed [:plan :implement]
             :status :completed}
 :execution/artifacts []
 :execution/fsm-state {:_state :completed}}
```

---

## What Worked

1. ✅ CLI spec parser (EDN format)
2. ✅ Workflow loading from catalog
3. ✅ Workflow validation
4. ✅ Phase FSM transitions
5. ✅ Interceptor pipeline execution
6. ✅ Evidence bundle creation (empty, but created)
7. ✅ Artifact store initialization

---

## What Needs Investigation

1. ❌ Why aren't agents being invoked?
2. ❌ Where should LLM API key be configured?
3. ❌ Are phase interceptors actually calling agent.invoke()?
4. ❌ Is there a mock mode enabled by default?

---

## Commands Used

```bash
# Create workflow spec
cat > examples/workflows/build-n1-conformance-tests.edn <<EOF
{:title "Build N1 conformance test suite"
 :description "Implement complete N1 architecture conformance tests..."
 :intent {:type :feature :scope ["tests/conformance/"]}
 :constraints ["follow-n1-spec-section-8.2"]
 :tags [:n1-conformance :testing :critical]}
EOF

# Run workflow
mf run examples/workflows/build-n1-conformance-tests.edn
```

---

## Next Session Goals

1. Investigate why agents aren't executing
2. Configure LLM API key properly
3. Add debug logging to track agent invocations
4. Re-run workflow and verify actual work happens
5. If agents work, monitor what they actually do

---

## Meta-Loop Observations

**Did the meta-loop notice anything?**

- Not yet - observer agent would need to be monitoring workflow execution
- Meta-loop requires completed workflows with metrics to learn from
- First we need agents to actually execute before meta-loop can observe
