Issue 205 Effect Backend Internal Modules Implementation Notes

Implementation Notes

Summary

  • W1 / IP-475 restored canonical Effect internal-module and repository-boundary guidance, committed it as 4e2496c5982caf6e53c526d5ecc0acf031e4853a, and synchronized an immutable #205 tag into Harness.

Deviations From Plan

  • Source main advanced to #206 commit 57c4d7e4661c797cdd7995487ad3e289f740a0cd after #205 remote readback. To exclude later generated drift, T1 published and synchronized refs/tags/sync/issue-205-effect-backend-structure-4e2496c5982c at the #205 commit. This was a bounded synchronization adaptation; no concurrent source work was rewritten.

Surprises and Decisions

  • The shared-skills main checkout contained disjoint concurrent issue-#206/#207 edits. T1 staged and committed only its four owned source paths.

  • The final tag-scoped generated diff excludes post-#205 verify-behavior, tdd, and react-doctor source mirrors.

  • Two changed generated hi-cli references originate from source commit d61d09b, which predates #205. Their generated blobs match the immutable #205 source tree.

  • The immutable source tag is annotated. Repair 1 changed commit verification from raw FETCH_HEAD to FETCH_HEAD^{commit} so the sync compares the peeled commit rather than the tag object.

Sanity Checks

CheckResultNotes
Canonical artifact contractpassednode --test tests/backend-structure-composition.contract.test.mjs: 3/3 passed after the retained source RED.
Source publication readbackpassedCommit 4e2496c5982caf6e53c526d5ecc0acf031e4853a changed exactly the four T1-owned paths. Its four remote blobs matched immediately after push, and immutable tag sync/issue-205-effect-backend-structure-4e2496c5982c resolves to that commit.
Harness pin contractpassedbun run --cwd apps/cli test src/scripts/sync-skills-repo.test.ts: 1/1 passed after the retained pin RED.
Tag-scoped skill syncpassedThe receipt records requested ref refs/tags/sync/issue-205-effect-backend-structure-4e2496c5982c and commit 4e2496c5982caf6e53c526d5ecc0acf031e4853a. Synchronized Effect files and the receipt-backed hi-cli references match source blobs; post-#205 #206-only generated paths are absent.
Wiki content projectionpassedbun apps/wiki/scripts/sync-content.mjs --check reported Wiki content is current.
Focused formattingpassedSource and Harness git diff --check completed without errors.
Full CLI checkblocked, unrelatedbun run --cwd apps/cli check reaches pre-existing Oxfmt failures in scripts/classify-release-impact.mjs, scripts/staged-verification-selector.mjs, src/cli/command-registry.ts, and src/update/run.test.ts.
Release classificationblocked, environmentThe documented predecessor remote ref was unavailable; a retry against planned commit 7357f43b686f4866e45925f875e458e8c29ef6f3 previously hit ENOSPC while resolving artifact authority for the base and HEAD.
hi checkblocked, unrelatedThe installed CLI is current at 5.0.1; repository settings retain CLI pin 4.0.2 and baseline 2026.09.02-ec9276e6 instead of current baseline 2026.09.10-4e9ff339. Managed scaffold drift and Commit Gate conflicting-manager remain outside #205.

Skill Application Evidence

TaskSkillStatusHow/whereNot-applicable reason or assessment location
T1codebase-designappliedKept canonical skill ownership deep and singular, with the sync script as the adapter at the public-source seam. The entrypoint delegates detailed topology to one layout reference, and Harness consumes the tagged source artifact.
T1quality-typesappliedKept the TypeScript pin test derived from one canonical commit constant and verified observable selection behavior through resolveRepositorySelection({}).
T1simplifyappliedRemoved duplicated and no-op guidance after GREEN without changing the ownership contract; detailed topology remains in the layout reference while service authority remains separate.
T1tddappliedCaptured the source artifact-contract RED before skill edits and the sync-pin RED before changing the Harness pin; retained both GREEN results in PLAN.md.
T1writing-for-agentsappliedKept workflow steps visible, disclosed detailed topology in the layout reference, used strong pointers and checkable completion criteria, and avoided duplicating authority across the two Effect skills.

Acceptance Criteria Status

CriterionStatusNotes
AC-001metHistorical closeout status; private binding placement is reconciled in Binding-path reconciliation.
AC-002metThe layout defines models, repositories, mappers, and colocated unit, integration, and support tests.
AC-003metThe layout keeps module internals private, requires relative intra-module imports and source aliases across modules, and rejects pass-through barrels.
AC-004metThe layout requires narrow repositories and rejects spread-only mappers and structurally identical duplicate *Data types.
AC-005metBoth Effect skills contain reciprocal, non-duplicating ownership pointers.
AC-006met with recorded blockersSource, sync, receipt, parity, focused test, wiki, and formatting checks pass; exact unrelated CLI, release-environment, and hi check blockers are retained above.

Review and Repair History

  • Review pass 1 is retained at apps/wiki/content/docs/project/reviews/review-eaaed7e52a7a55b113d0-20260915T093941Z-3857ebf5c8ac-review-report.md in commit 12dce11a594811c048bf814ee89264b29b4f56c7. Its sole finding, f001-default-sync-ref-does-not-resolve-pin, was accepted and repaired by pairing the default immutable tag with its peeled commit.
  • Review pass 2 is retained at apps/wiki/content/docs/project/reviews/review-eaaed7e52a7a55b113d0-20260915T094816Z-ddc6fe9dd605-review-report.md in commit d11bad86c18650510d1441cbcaca208a75b392a0. All five lenses were clean and routed the delivery to closeout.

Binding-path reconciliation

The user-requested #205 diff-comments repair on 2026-09-15 was implemented in commit 1e9e6f63 and retained after restacking as commit 4e3e7cef. The canonical layout at 0519d685 keeps private bindings at services/<capability>/binding.ts beside the public service. This reconciles AC-001 and the current runbook.

The acceptance status and checks above record the earlier #205 closeout. This documentation reconciliation does not claim a fresh full validation run.

Remaining Work

  • Parent: verify the final #204 stack parent, create the #205 pull request, and finish tracker closeout.
