# 2026-05-14 Effect.ts Mainline Live Progress Summary

## Source

- Plan reviewed: `docs/plans/2026-05-14-effect-ts-mainline-live-progress.md`
- Purpose stated by the plan: current source of truth for remaining Effect.ts mainline completion work.
- The file points to a historical progress log and the original completion plan, but this audit reviewed only the live-progress plan itself.
- Last recorded update in the plan: 2026-05-15.

## Plan Structure

The plan is a live progress tracker, not a fresh implementation plan. Its top-level structure is:

1. Title, purpose, lineage links, and last-updated date.
2. Update rules for maintaining the live-progress file.
3. Accepted decisions that constrain the migration.
4. A guardrail checklist table with status and live notes.
5. Current blockers.
6. Completion state, ordered to mirror the authoritative plan.
7. Verification commands.
8. Latest update, a reverse-chronological progress/evidence log.

The largest sections are `Completion State` and `Latest Update`. `Completion State` compresses the migration into the authoritative sequence of stages and records the current boundary state for each. `Latest Update` records dated work slices, behavior changes, guard additions, verification evidence, commits, and reclassifications.

## Information Types Communicated

- Source-of-truth status and lineage: what this document is, which older docs it supersedes or links to, and when it was last updated.
- Maintenance policy: how to keep the progress file concise, when to archive details, and what evidence belongs inline.
- Accepted migration decisions: Effect version freeze, daemon ownership, relay units, contracts location, WS/RPC migration direction, provider-driver shape, and test-first execution.
- Guardrail status: named migration guardrails, whether each is done, and the evidence or reclassification that closed it.
- Blocker state: explicit statement that no live blockers remain.
- Stage completion state: ordered migration stages, their current state, completed local work, deferred follow-ups, and boundary conditions.
- Verification intent: standard command set plus docs-only validation guidance.
- Verification evidence: completed `pnpm test:all` gate, Storybook visual counts, focused test mentions, and commit references.
- Chronological change log: dated slices describing concrete code movement, ownership changes, bridge removals, static guards, and test updates.
- Reclassification records: decisions that certain remaining patterns are allowed compatibility boundaries, frontend/browser invariants, raw data-plane commands, or post-migration work.
- Deferred work markers: Effect v4, real production DB dry-run, and persistent RPC stream/client design for `pty_input`.

## Fit To Existing Formula Parts

- `epic`: fits the whole Effect.ts mainline completion effort.
- `global-contract`: fits the source-of-truth statement, broad scope, non-goals, Effect 3.x freeze, no `--daemon-runtime` split, and single production daemon owner.
- `architecture`: fits the accepted decisions about per-project relays, contracts under `src/lib/contracts/*`, command/event/projector/read-model shape, provider-driver ownership, relay ownership, and runtime boundary ownership.
- `policy`: fits update rules, test-first execution, WebSocket transport policy, docs-only validation guidance, and static-guard expectations.
- `parent`: fits the numbered `Completion State` stages as stage/group beads.
- `child`: only partially fits the dated `Latest Update` entries. Many entries describe completed implementation slices, but they are retrospective and lack child work-packet fields such as red command, expected failure, allowed files, forbidden files, and green scope.
- `checkpoint`: fits final verification closure, guardrail cleanup gates, fanout readiness gates, and broad validation command sets.
- `fixture`: weak fit. Static guards, focused tests, and test-output evidence behave like verification assets, but the plan does not describe fixture provenance or refresh policy in the current fixture sense.
- `pilot`: little direct fit. The plan records completed exploratory/parity work, but not pilot measurements that decide whether to create later work.
- `followup-template`: fits explicitly deferred work such as Effect v4, production DB dry-run, and persistent RPC stream/client design, but the plan does not provide reusable follow-up templates.
- `work-packet` contract snippet: poor fit for most retrospective update entries because the plan records what changed, not executable prompt contracts.
- `subagent-launch` contract snippet: no direct fit; the plan does not carry launch packets or parallel-agent assignment instructions.
- `handoff-note` contract snippet: partial fit for dated progress entries and final closure notes, especially where they include what changed, validation, and remaining deferred work.

## Gaps / Schema Additions

- Add a `progress-log` or `progress-note` part for dated retrospective slices. It should capture date, status transition, summary, evidence links, validation run, commit IDs, and residual risk without pretending the item is still executable work.
- Add a `guardrail` or `quality-gate` part for named static/runtime guardrails. Existing checkpoints cover validation gates, but this plan tracks guardrail status, closure evidence, and allowed reclassification notes as first-class information.
- Add a `verification-result` contract snippet distinct from verification commands. The plan communicates observed outcomes, including pass/fail state, command evidence, visual-test counts, and final log snippets.
- Add a `status-snapshot` part for live-progress documents. It should preserve current blockers, completion-state summaries, done/current/deferred distinctions, and final closure state.
- Add a `decision-log` or richer decision metadata for accepted decisions. Some decisions fit `architecture`, `policy`, or `global-contract`, but the current roles do not distinguish durable accepted decisions from implementation work.
- Add a `reclassification` field or snippet for explicitly allowed exceptions. This plan repeatedly distinguishes app-internal anti-patterns from named compatibility boundaries, frontend/browser invariants, raw data-plane commands, and post-migration work.
- Add `source-lineage` metadata for progress docs that depend on historical logs or authoritative base plans. The current `global-contract` can hold this, but it is useful enough to make explicit for audit/conversion tooling.

## Notes For Combined Summary

This file is best treated as a progress/evidence artifact layered on top of an implementation plan. A converter should not try to pour every dated update as a new child bead. Most updates are completed work records or validation evidence.

The strongest formula mapping is:

- accepted decisions -> `global-contract`, `architecture`, and `policy`
- numbered completion stages -> `parent`
- guardrail checklist and final verification -> `checkpoint` plus proposed `guardrail` / `verification-result`
- dated latest updates -> proposed `progress-log`, with occasional `handoff-note`
- deferred items -> `followup-template` when they describe real future work

The combined audit should note that plan-to-beads currently models executable work better than live progress state. This plan exposes the need for status/evidence-oriented parts if the formula must preserve completed migration history without flattening it into non-executable child tasks.
