# T-678: vnx-orchestration deep-dive — ingest, build fabric, analyze architecture and patterns

## Problem Statement

Analyze https://github.com/Vinix24/vnx-orchestration — understand its architecture, components, patterns, and code quality. Same workflow as OpenClaw deep-dive (T-549). Secondary goal: refine the "Path C: External codebase ingestion" seed task template based on learnings from both OpenClaw and this project.

Research artifact: docs/reports/T-678-vnx-orchestration-deep-dive.md

## Assumptions

1. Repo is cloned to /opt/051-Vinix24 (validated — done)
2. fw init provides fabric infrastructure for tracking analysis (validated — done, settings.json bug found T-677)
3. Component fabric can handle this project's language/structure (to test)
4. OpenClaw ingestion workflow is reusable as-is (to test)

## Exploration Plan

- Spike 1: Codebase survey — repo structure, languages, entry points, size (~30 min)
- Spike 2: Component fabric build — register key files, define subsystems, enrich edges (~1 hr)
- Spike 3: Architecture mapping — how the system works, data flow, key abstractions (~1 hr)
- Spike 4: Design pattern inventory — reusable patterns, quality assessment (~1 hr)
- Spike 5: Value extraction + framework learnings — what to adopt, ingestion process improvements (~30 min)

## Technical Constraints

- Project boundary hook blocks direct cd to /opt/051-Vinix24 — use absolute paths or fw dispatch
- fw init already run; settings.json needs manual hook merge (T-677)
- Analysis is read-only — no code changes to the target project

## Scope Fence

**IN:** Architecture mapping, component registration, pattern analysis, quality assessment, ingestion template learnings
**OUT:** Building features, contributing code, running the project, deploying anything

## Acceptance Criteria

### Agent
- [x] Problem statement validated
- [ ] Component fabric built (key files registered in .fabric/)
- [ ] Architecture mapping report produced
- [ ] Design patterns documented
- [ ] Ingestion process learnings captured (vs OpenClaw experience)
- [x] Recommendation written with rationale

### Human
- [x] [REVIEW] Review exploration findings and approve go/no-go decision
  **Steps:**
  1. Read the research artifact at docs/reports/T-678-vnx-orchestration-deep-dive.md
  2. Evaluate analysis quality and completeness
  3. Run: `cd /opt/999-Agentic-Engineering-Framework && bin/fw inception decide T-678 go|no-go --rationale "your rationale"`
  **Expected:** Decision recorded, task completed
  **If not:** Ask agent for clarification on specific findings

## Go/No-Go Criteria

**GO if:**
- Component fabric built with meaningful subsystem taxonomy
- Architecture mapping reveals actionable patterns
- Ingestion template improvements identified

**NO-GO if:**
- Repo is too small/simple to warrant deep analysis
- Fabric tooling can't handle the project's structure

## Verification

<!-- Shell commands that MUST pass before work-completed. One per line.
     Lines starting with # are comments. Empty lines ignored.
     The completion gate runs each command — if any exits non-zero, completion is blocked.
     For inception tasks, verification is often not needed (decisions, not code).
-->

## Decisions

**Decision**: GO

**Rationale**: GO

Rationale: vnx-orchestration ingestion succeeded. Framework governance fully initialized — fw doctor 0 failures, 6/6 seed tasks completed, fabric with 6 registered components. The project is ready for deep-dive spikes 2-5 (component fabric build, architecture mapping, pattern analysis, value extraction). Path C workflow proven end-to-end via T-679 fixes.

Evidence:
- fw doctor: 0 failures, 1 warning (enforcement baseline)
- fw audit: 47 pass, 8 warn, 2 fail (baseline for fresh project)
- ...

## Recommendation

**GO**

**Rationale:** vnx-orchestration ingestion succeeded. Framework governance fully initialized — fw doctor 0 failures, 6/6 seed tasks completed, fabric with 6 registered components. The project is ready for deep-dive spikes 2-5 (component fabric build, architecture mapping, pattern analysis, value extraction). Path C workflow proven end-to-end via T-679 fixes.

**Evidence:**
- fw doctor: 0 failures, 1 warning (enforcement baseline)
- fw audit: 47 pass, 8 warn, 2 fail (baseline for fresh project)
- Seed tasks: T-001 through T-006 all completed
- Fabric: 6 components registered (bin/vnx, hooks/sessionstart.sh, hooks/vnx_rotate.sh, ledger/t0_ledger_interface.py, configs/gate_agent_mapping.yaml, lib/session_resolver.sh)
- Handover: generated at .context/handovers/LATEST.md
- 10 friction points captured → 6 framework improvement tasks created

**Next steps after GO:** Create build tasks for spikes 2-5 (architecture mapping, pattern analysis, value extraction). Work happens inside /opt/051-Vinix24 via TermLink.
