# Phase 3: Surplus Infrastructure — Implementation Plan

> **For Claude:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task.

**Goal:** Build the surplus compute infrastructure — task queue, idle detection, compute availability, brainstorm scheduling — so Genesis can use free compute during idle cycles.

**Architecture:** Independent `SurplusScheduler` with own APScheduler instance. Persistent `surplus_tasks` queue backed by SQLite. Pluggable `SurplusExecutor` protocol with stub impl for V3. `BrainstormRunner` schedules 2 mandatory sessions/day. All outputs go to `surplus_insights` staging area.

**Tech Stack:** Python 3.12, aiosqlite, APScheduler, aiohttp (health checks), pytest

### Task 1: Schema — surplus_tasks table + CRUD

**Files:**
- Modify: `src/genesis/db/schema.py` — add `surplus_tasks` DDL + indexes
- Create: `src/genesis/db/crud/surplus_tasks.py`
- Create: `tests/test_db/test_surplus_tasks.py`

**Step 1: Write the failing test**

**Step 2: Run test to verify it fails**

Run: `cd ~/genesis && python -m pytest tests/test_db/test_surplus_tasks.py -v`
Expected: FAIL — module `genesis.db.crud.surplus_tasks` does not exist

**Step 3: Add table DDL to schema.py**

Add to the `TABLES` dict in `src/genesis/db/schema.py` after `"brainstorm_log"`:

```python
    "surplus_tasks": """
        CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS surplus_tasks (
            id                TEXT PRIMARY KEY,
            task_type         TEXT NOT NULL,
            compute_tier      TEXT NOT NULL,
            priority          REAL NOT NULL DEFAULT 0.5,
            drive_alignment   TEXT NOT NULL,
            status            TEXT NOT NULL DEFAULT 'pending' CHECK (
                status IN ('pending', 'running', 'completed', 'failed', 'cancelled')
            ),
            payload           TEXT,
            created_at        TEXT NOT NULL,
            started_at        TEXT,

            attempt_count     INTEGER NOT NULL DEFAULT 0
        )
    """,
```

Add to the `INDEXES` list:

```python
    # surplus tasks
    "CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS idx_surplus_tasks_status ON surplus_tasks(status)",
    "CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS idx_surplus_tasks_priority ON surplus_tasks(priority DESC)",
    "CREATE INDEX IF NOT EXISTS idx_surplus_tasks_tier ON surplus_tasks(compute_tier)",

**Step 4: Run tests to verify they pass**

Run: `cd ~/genesis && python -m pytest tests/test_surplus/test_scheduler.py -v`
Expected: All 10 tests PASS

**Step 5: Commit**

```bash
git add src/genesis/surplus/scheduler.py tests/test_surplus/test_scheduler.py
git commit -m "feat: add SurplusScheduler with dispatch loop and brainstorm check (Phase 3 Task 8)"
```

---

### Task 9: Package exports + YAML config update

**Files:**
- Modify: `src/genesis/surplus/__init__.py`
- Modify: `config/model_routing.yaml`

**Step 1: Write the failing test**

```python
# tests/test_surplus/test_init.py
"""Tests for surplus package exports."""

def test_surplus_exports():
    from genesis.surplus import (
        BrainstormRunner,
        ComputeAvailability,
        ComputeTier,
        ExecutorResult,
        IdleDetector,
        StubExecutor,
        SurplusQueue,
        SurplusScheduler,
        SurplusTask,
        TaskStatus,
        TaskType,
    )
    assert TaskType.BRAINSTORM_USER == "brainstorm_user"
    assert SurplusScheduler is not None
```

**Step 2: Run test to verify it fails**

Run: `cd ~/genesis && python -m pytest tests/test_surplus/test_init.py -v`
Expected: FAIL — ImportError

**Step 3: Update __init__.py**

```python
# src/genesis/surplus/__init__.py
"""Genesis cognitive surplus — intentional use of free compute."""

from genesis.surplus.brainstorm import BrainstormRunner
from genesis.surplus.compute_availability import ComputeAvailability
from genesis.surplus.executor import StubExecutor
from genesis.surplus.idle_detector import IdleDetector
from genesis.surplus.queue import SurplusQueue
from genesis.surplus.scheduler import SurplusScheduler
from genesis.surplus.types import (
    ComputeTier,
    ExecutorResult,
    SurplusExecutor,
    SurplusTask,
    TaskStatus,
    TaskType,
)

__all__ = [
    "BrainstormRunner",
    "ComputeAvailability",
    "ComputeTier",
    "ExecutorResult",
    "IdleDetector",
    "StubExecutor",
    "SurplusExecutor",
    "SurplusQueue",
    "SurplusScheduler",
    "SurplusTask",
    "TaskStatus",
    "TaskType",
]
```

**Step 4: Update model_routing.yaml — add lmstudio provider and surplus config**

Add at the end of the `providers:` section in `config/model_routing.yaml`:

```yaml
  lmstudio-30b:
    type: lmstudio
    model: "TBD"
    base_url: "http://${LM_STUDIO_HOST:-localhost:1234}/v1"
    free: true
    open_duration_s: 120
```

Add a new top-level section after `retry:`:

```yaml
surplus:
  idle_threshold_minutes: 15
  dispatch_interval_minutes: 5
  brainstorm_check_interval_hours: 12
  task_expiry_hours: 72
  max_attempts: 2
  tier_policy:
    brainstorm_user: [free_api, local_30b]
    brainstorm_self: [free_api, local_30b]
    meta_brainstorm: [free_api, local_30b]
  health_checks:
    lmstudio:
      url: "http://${LM_STUDIO_HOST:-localhost:1234}/v1/models"
      timeout_s: 3
      cache_ttl_s: 60
```

**Step 5: Run test to verify it passes**

Run: `cd ~/genesis && python -m pytest tests/test_surplus/test_init.py -v`
Expected: PASS

**Step 6: Run full test suite for regression**

Run: `cd ~/genesis && python -m pytest -v`
Expected: All tests PASS (existing 380+ plus ~50 new surplus tests)

**Step 7: Commit**

```bash
git add src/genesis/surplus/__init__.py config/model_routing.yaml tests/test_surplus/test_init.py
git commit -m "feat: add surplus package exports and YAML config for LM Studio + surplus settings (Phase 3 Task 9)"
```

### Task 11: Update build phases doc

**Files:**
- Modify: `docs/architecture/genesis-v3-build-phases.md` — check Phase 3 verification boxes

**Step 1: Update the Phase 3 verification section**

In `docs/architecture/genesis-v3-build-phases.md`, change the Phase 3 verification checkboxes from `[ ]` to `[x]`:

```markdown
### Verification

- [x] Surplus tasks only execute on free/cheap compute
- [x] Cost-frequency rule enforced (free=always, threshold=never)
- [x] Staging area stores without promoting to production
- [x] Daily brainstorm sessions fire reliably (exactly 2/day minimum)
- [x] Brainstorm sessions write observations to memory-mcp
- [x] Idle detection identifies available compute windows
```

**Step 2: Commit**

```bash
git add docs/architecture/genesis-v3-build-phases.md
git commit -m "docs: mark Phase 3 verification complete"
```

---

Plan complete and saved to `docs/plans/2026-03-04-phase3-surplus-infrastructure-implementation.md`. Two execution options:

**1. Subagent-Driven (this session)** — I dispatch a fresh subagent per task, review between tasks, fast iteration

**2. Parallel Session (separate)** — Open new session with executing-plans, batch execution with checkpoints

Which approach?
