  1. P1 #62 investigation: message_volk tool routes real CXP packets; VolkRegistry has heartbeat/health/in-flight machinery; IntentDispatcher records dispatch-time heartbeat; IntentRouter does NOT filter by health status; no orchestrator health monitor or peer-status exposure to volks
  2. P1 #62 implementation: health-aware IntentRouter; heartbeat-driven ACTIVE/INACTIVE transitions in VolkRegistry; get_volk_status tool + message_volk health warning; PipelineRunner registers volks and records stage heartbeats; 4 new tests added
  3. SKELETON_FLOW structural escape: task.py
    • STRUCTURAL: 2 escape(s) A.init: method deleted A.m: method deleted
  4. SKELETON_FLOW structural escape: task.py

  9. P1 spec-gap remediation: documented deliberate divergences in SPEC-028 FR-009 (profile-based config replaces env overrides) and SPEC-008 FR-006/007 (stdlib ast + regex replace tree-sitter); updated spec-gap-register.md
  10. BLOCKED: P1 spec-gap remediation remaining items are design forks — goal-system consolidation (which controller is canonical?), memory lifecycle+DI (persistent engine + EventBus), PM budget half (pipeline integration), gateway health/plugin CLI (new surfaces). Recording deliberate divergences as resolved. Proceeding with investigation of goal-system consolidation to produce a decision-ready plan.
  11. P1 next-wave selection: user chose 2 (AST/context-injection analysis + improvements), 3 (codegen templates), 1 (coverage back-fill) in that order. Starting AST/context investigation.
  12. P1 context-injection wave: AST provider hardening, usage telemetry, memory recall token cap
  1. P1 codegen: spec-driven gen-enum with JSON catalog and drift gate
  1. P1 coverage wave 6: back-fill tests for kernel/pam/types, class_extractor, function_extractor, versioning

Session 232 - 2026-07-13 22:14 - Claude Opus 4.8

Focus: Context-injection architecture analysis and improvement plan (SPEC-107) Duration: auto-closed

Session Goals

Work Log

  1. Context-injection architecture analysis: mapped current sources/assembler/consumers, identified gaps (session/plan layers unused, unbounded memory, semantic graph/AST isolated), and drafted phased improvement plan
  2. Wire session/goal context feed: PipelineKGMixin now loads ContextData from orchestrator (_session_ctrl) or kernel (session) controller and passes it to UnifiedContextAssembler; added observed tests
  3. Populate plan-window context layer (SPEC-107 FR-001)
  4. Canonical File.id lookups in ContextInjector._query_context (remove basename heuristic)
  5. Mandate and enforce citations for requirements/decisions in GraphContextValidator
  6. AST-driven context provider: branches, complexity, call-graph, trace-lint
  7. Verified T1–T5 already merged to master
    • Git history shows d3a35f3b/89305913/b490b9e3 (T1 skeleton flow), 22e36f7b (T2 loose demo), 48838b00/cfd7a778 (T3 SPEC-025 traces), 2d51639e (T4 provider honesty), 64053648/44be1fc0 (T5 parity report). Remote branches origin/kimi/t3-spec025-traces and origin/kimi/t4-provider-honesty are fully merged; no commits ahead of master.
  8. Completed SPEC-107 FR-007 on-demand context tools
    • Added get_code, get_tests, get_requirements, search_code_semantic as SPEC-062 native tools; registered for U:Ar/U:Cd/U:Qa/U:Do; 13 observed tests green.
  9. Completed SPEC-107 FR-006 persistent ranked ArtifactStore
    • Added optional output_dir JSONL persistence + replay, spec/reqs fields on PipelineArtifact, by_requirement, by_spec, render_artifact_digest with recency+keyword ranking; 15 observed tests green.

Session 231 - 2026-07-13 20:18 - Claude Opus 4.8

Focus: T1: Wire skeleton flow into volk pipeline (ORCHESTRATA_SKELETON_FLOW=1) Duration: 1h 0m

Session Goals

Work Log

  1. SKELETON_FLOW structural escape: task.py
    • STRUCTURAL: 2 escape(s) A.init: method deleted A.m: method deleted
  2. SKELETON_FLOW structural escape: task.py
    • STRUCTURAL: 2 escape(s) A.init: method deleted A.m: method deleted
  3. T1 skeleton-flow wiring: fix prompt-template insertion and silent-pass handler
    • Fixed get_architect_prompt_template to insert SKELETON-FLOW addendum once before HARD RULES instead of duplicating the entire template. Fixed _record_session_work to log the actual error instead of swallowing exceptions. Regenerated AST. Targeted tests pass; full suite has 2 pre-existing env failures (DeepSeek 402, flaky Conversation.id constraint).
  4. SKELETON_FLOW structural escape: task.py
    • STRUCTURAL: 2 escape(s) A.init: method deleted A.m: method deleted
  5. T2 loosened-intent demo (openrouter-minimax): fix _load_dotenv to preserve pre-sourced env, add regression test, and write behavioral assessment of generated ftcache API
  6. T3 SPEC-025 Phase 2 governance gate: requirements rows 091-102 already present, @traces already wired on ClaudeCodeDriver methods, claude_settings.write_governance_settings, and claude_governance_gate.main; verified with check-traces (0 dangling) and regenerated RTM evidence
  7. T4 provider-routing honesty + backoff: rejection reasons already name per-candidate cause (circuit breaker / RPM / TPM / unknown model), retry backoff already waits past sliding-window remainder; verified with real RateLimiter/CircuitBreaker/ProviderManager tests. BLOCKED: per-volk max_tokens guard — needs volk config design decision before implementation.
  8. T5 diagram_to_code parity report: produced plans/diagram-to-code-parity.md with feature-by-feature table, unique capabilities on both sides, migration test mapping, and recommendation not to retire DiagramToCode
  9. Committed: T5: add diagram-to-code parity report
  10. Committed: T3: verify SPEC-025 Phase 2 governance-gate traces land, regenerate RTM evidence
  11. Committed: T2: openrouter-minimax loosened-intent demo — preserve pre-sourced env in _load_dotenv, add regression + behavioral ftcache tests, regenerate AST
  12. Committed: T1: wire skeleton flow fixes — correct prompt addendum insertion, log session CLI errors

    • STRUCTURAL: 2 escape(s) A.init: method deleted A.m: method deleted
  10. SKELETON_FLOW structural escape: task.py
  1. Fixed logging isolation leak in scripts/e2e_run.py: main() now restores stdout/stderr, closes console_fh, and resets logging handlers in a finally block so test cleanup can delete run directories safely
  2. Fixed stale generated test for codedirector.implementation.generate_skeleton_files env parameter; regenerated AST files; full suite down to 5 environmental failures
  3. SKELETON_FLOW structural escape: task.py
