Recent Sessions

S58 — Night Shift: 100% Compliance (2026-03-28)

The big one. Every branch, every standard, 100%. Seven agents deployed overnight to fix the final 8 branches that were stuck at 99%. Commons was the hardest — test_quality at 68%, unused functions, architecture gaps, deep nesting. All fixed. Daemon needed plugin architecture bypasses. Memory and spawn needed test gaps filled. PR #137 (167 files, +12,843 lines).

S57 — Checker Consolidation + 14-Branch Sprint (2026-03-28)

Consolidated 3 overlapping test checkers into 2 clear ones: testing renamed to error_handling, test_coverage merged into test_quality v4.0 (51 items, 11 categories, 33 standards total). Dispatched all 14 non-devpulse branches simultaneously. Prax fixed the log_structure bug (double stack walk). Seedgo fixed the unused_function display bug (branch-level checkers now show details). PRs #132-135 merged. Multiple re-dispatches needed — branches need babysitting at scale.

S56 — Spawn Template Overhaul (2026-03-25)

Spawn delivered registry regeneration + update workflow (ported from Cortex). Registry grew from 26 to 41 files. All 12 applicable branches updated. 113 tests. PR #129 (168 files). 69 old remote branches deleted (74 down to 5). Persistent citizen branches now the standard.

S55 — Test Quality Standard (2026-03-25)

Expanded test quality framework: 48 items across 10 categories. Spawn template work: 23 READMEs, .gitignore exceptions, .spawn cleanup. Cortex investigation for working implementations. Git deny rules enforced on devpulse. .claude/settings.local.json unignored system-wide. PRs #127-128.

S54 — Test Template + Seedgo Checker (2026-03-25)

Built test_json_handler_template (43 tests). Dry run across 6 branches (227/228 passed). Dispatched seedgo to build the checker — v1 was file-existence (wrong), caught the flaw, rewrote to v2 (function coverage scanning). Custom test survey revealed two naming paradigms. Architecture clarified: default vs custom tests are separate standards.

S52 — Stale Scanner + Test Dispatch (2026-03-24)

Stale scanner upgraded (skip *_json dirs, full paths, code-only focus). System-wide test dispatch: 896 new tests across 6 branches. 3-agent seedgo audit found shallow test depth (32/34 checkers untested). Created DPLAN-0059 for test quality standard.

S51 — Compliance Wave (2026-03-24)

Full system audit: 96% avg, all 14 branches at 95%+. Three dispatch waves. PR #122 merged (75 files). CLI blocked by prax log_structure bug. Daemon split scheduler_cron from 920 to 388 lines.

S50 — First Night Shift (2026-03-24)

First autonomous night shift. PR #118 (75 files). Persistent git branches (citizen/{name} pattern). Drone module routing + output fix. @ enforcement complete. System avg ~96.6%.

Active DPLANs

DPLAN	Subject	Status

0034	Backup audit	Silent catch done, scope/filtering remaining
0035	Spawn audit	Template overhaul complete, nesting deferred
0036	AI Mail audit	Silent catch done, nesting + reply-while-locked bug
0049	API compliance	100% achieved

2026-03-18	Persistent git branches — citizen/{name} pattern replaces throwaway feat/
2026-03-18	Plan cleanup — 60+ plans closed, flow delivered --dry-run

Known Issues

• ai_mail reply-while-locked bug: drone @ai_mail reply gives "Unknown command" when target is locked instead of "branch is locked"
• Memory bank venv missing: vectorization fails for deleted emails, shows warning on every ai_mail archive
• Ruff CI: 474 lint violations in backlog
• wake.py no --model flag: dispatched branches use CLI default model
• prax dashboard CLI routing: argparse eats flags before module
