# Session Handover: S-2026-0214-1302

## Where We Are

Framework at v1.0.0 with 42 completed tasks, 8 new active tasks (T-043 through T-050). This session was a pure design session — no building. Through iterative human-AI dialogue, we designed a complete artifact discovery and web UI system documented in `025-ArtifactDiscovery.md` (775 lines). All design questions decided, tasks created with rich context (P-008), security model and error handling specified. Ready to start building.

## Work in Progress

All 8 tasks are in `captured` status — design complete, not yet started.

**Dependency order for execution:**
```
T-043 (directive IDs) ──→ T-046 (dashboard/project/directives)
                       ──→ T-049 (decisions/learnings/gaps/search)
T-044 (tag backfill)  ──→ T-048 (tasks pages)
T-045 (web foundation) ──→ T-046, T-047, T-048, T-049
T-050 (CLI commands)  ──── independent, can parallel
```

**Recommended execution order:**
1. T-043 + T-044 + T-045 (parallel — no dependencies)
2. T-050 (independent, can overlap with web UI work)
3. T-046 + T-047 (after T-043 + T-045)
4. T-048 (after T-044 + T-045)
5. T-049 (after T-043 + T-045)

## Gaps Register

**6 spec-reality gap(s) being watched** — see `.context/project/gaps.yaml`

- **G-001** [high]: Enforcement tiers are spec-only
- **G-002** [medium]: Status transitions not validated
- **G-003** [low]: Unused frontmatter fields (workflow_type, priority, tags, agents.supporting)
- **G-004** [low]: Multi-agent collaboration untested
- **G-005** [medium]: Graduation pipeline has no tooling
- **G-006** [low]: Only default.md template exists

Run `fw audit` to check if any trigger conditions are met.

## Decisions Made This Session

1. **Artifact discovery via web UI (Python + htmx), not just CLI**
   - Why: Human workflow is CLI for sessions, browser for oversight/grooming. CLI is not frictionless for browsing.
   - Alternatives rejected: CLI-only, single HTML file, Node.js, React SPA

2. **Flat tasks + controlled tags + relationship graph, no hierarchy**
   - Why: 42 tasks cross-cut any hierarchy. T-014 is simultaneously audit, enforcement, quality, antifragility. Single-parent epics would lie.
   - Alternatives rejected: Two-level epics, full epic/feature/task hierarchy

3. **Episodic memory as primary discovery data source**
   - Why: Episodics are richer than task files in every dimension (summaries, decisions, challenges, artifacts, relationships).
   - Alternatives rejected: Task frontmatter as primary source

4. **Timeline: structured + expandable + session narrative (generated at session end)**
   - Why: Narrative prose gives rich understanding; generating at session end means no AI needed at view time.
   - Alternatives rejected: Pure structured list, AI-generated narrative on demand

5. **Cross-reference decision stores, don't unify**
   - Why: Architectural (005) and operational (decisions.yaml) are both interpretations of directives. Different timing, same nature. Web UI renders unified view.
   - Alternatives rejected: Merge into one file, keep fully separate

6. **Formalize directive IDs (D1-D4) with `last_reviewed`, no changelog**
   - Why: Only 4 items. Git history is the changelog. `last_reviewed` signals governance.
   - Alternatives rejected: Full changelog, leave informal

7. **Backfill episodic tags only, not task frontmatter**
   - Why: Episodics are the discovery layer. Task frontmatter is operational record.

8. **P-008: Tasks Must Carry Executable Context**
   - Why: Old tasks (empty Design Record) are not agent-executable. New tasks (design authority, criteria) can be picked up cold.
   - Alternatives rejected: Mandatory fields (blocks quick tasks), no enforcement

## Things Tried That Failed

Nothing failed this session — it was a design dialogue, not implementation.

## Open Questions / Blockers

1. The `/project/:doc` sidebar showing related artifacts needs a cross-reference mechanism. Tasks don't have an `implements` field linking to specs. Options: text search, manual linking, or add the field. Deferred to implementation.

## Gotchas / Warnings for Next Session

- `POST /api/task/:id/status` MUST validate status against allowlist before shell execution — command injection risk if unvalidated
- ruamel.yaml (for comment-preserving YAML writes) is a separate dependency from PyYAML — both needed
- YAML serializers strip comments from episodic files — treat episodics as read-only from web UI
- Older handovers (pre-session_narrative) need fallback rendering in timeline
- 15 episodic files have incomplete `related_tasks` data — relationship visualization will have gaps

## Suggested First Action

Start T-043 (directive IDs), T-044 (tag backfill), and T-045 (web foundation) in parallel. These have no dependencies and unblock all other tasks. T-045 is the critical path — everything else needs the web skeleton.
