Project-Generated Managed-File Ownership Implementation Notes

Implementation Notes

Summary

  • Delivery started from the accepted direct PLAN.md; the user explicitly skipped spec/backlog creation and requested implementation onward.
  • Execution uses the isolated team/stefan/project-generated-ownership worktree so the dirty main checkout remains untouched.

Deviations From the Plan

  • No SPEC.md exists because this was an explicitly accepted direct-planning flow. The plan's locked decisions and acceptance criteria are the execution authority.

Surprises and Decisions

  • The accepted Effect guide fix was uncommitted. Wave 0 created immutable commit ae933168 from only the accepted Effect/plan paths; unrelated manifest, settings, and snapshot changes were excluded.
  • T1 needed the public baseline export root and its exact export-contract test in addition to the original owned paths. The expansion exposes only ManagedFileFingerprint and ManagedFileOwnership; helper schemas remain internal.
  • T2 keeps repository I/O in one read-only adapter and ownership policy in one pure classifier. The classifier deliberately does not import the broad observed-file model; T3 owns that adaptation.
  • T1/T2 review found that the decoded legacy default had made ownership mandatory for public TypeScript construction. A constructor default now preserves legacy { kind, path, sha256 } callers while keeping decoded values explicit and encoded defaults omitted.
  • T3 review found two persistence bypasses: the compatibility-current scaffold manifest could overwrite newly materialized controller metadata, and decoded default ownership could be serialized explicitly. The manifest is now excluded before preservation copying and only ProjectGenerated evidence crosses serialization boundaries.
  • The root Oxlint config was already emitted but missing from generatedFiles, so it had no managed receipt. The output pipeline now inventories that existing artifact; emitted bytes and pack selection are unchanged.
  • Review reopened T3 because desired ownership still needs production-side derivation, every consumer must use one immutable decision, agent prompts and managed Claude copies need explicit persistence rules, missing producer output must remain truthfully planned under apply, and the CLI must retain the shared normalized ownership type instead of weakening it to an optional local shape.
  • T3 remediation derives authority in production, uses one immutable decision, routes normal and special-lane adoption through the same post-write full-fingerprint gate, preserves explicit current ownership through orphan cleanup, and leaves missing-only apply truthful and non-mutating.
  • Structured autoreview's final static findings were rejected by stronger runtime witnesses: an actual unrelated managed write completed while orphaned explicit ownership survived with a clean follow-up check, and a settled missing-only write preserved the repository fingerprint with applied: false. Independent Spec and Standards reviewers then retracted or cleared those findings.
  • A final evidence-aware structured autoreview rerun remained active for more than ten minutes without returning and was interrupted. This is residual tool unavailability, not a remaining code finding; executable gates and independent Spec and Standards reviews remain clean.
  • The opensrc/effect.md hash change in apps/cli/test-fixtures/public-output/managed-assets.json is retained only because the accepted pre-existing Effect guide fix changed those bytes. It is support for that immutable prerequisite, not part of this ownership behavior change.

No UI surface changes; screenshot evidence is not applicable.

Runtime Validation Evidence

No plan task requires supported-runtime validation; automated CLI contract tests are the public verification seam.

Docs Ingest

Not applicable. This accepted direct-plan flow has no SPEC.md, so there is no spec artifact to ingest. The root and wiki runbooks are current. Wiki check:content fails only for the explicitly deferred update to apps/wiki/content/docs/project/specs/cli/meta.json and creation of apps/wiki/content/docs/project/specs/cli/project-generated-managed-file-ownership/meta.json. Frontmatter remains ingested: false.

Acceptance Criteria Status

Complete. AC-01 through AC-12 are satisfied without repository producer declaration, regeneration, or reconciliation.

Manual Review Checklist

  • Fixed point: ae933168.
  • Review commands: git status --short, git diff ae933168, and git diff --check ae933168.
  • Release-style validation: apps/cli four shards 96/96 plus 82 remaining files 1098/1098, totaling 86 files and 1194 tests; packages/scaffold 5 files and 52/52 tests.
  • CLI and scaffold typechecks passed. CLI, scaffold, and wiki lint/format checks passed. git diff --check ae933168 passed.
  • Final Spec and Standards reviews independently retracted or cleared all P1/P2 findings. Strengthened runtime tests explicitly disprove the final static autoreview findings.
  • The final evidence-aware structured autoreview rerun was interrupted after more than ten minutes without returning. Record this as residual tool unavailability, not a code finding.

Remaining Work

  • Declare the actual repository producer mappings, run the named generators, and reconcile their managed receipts in a separately authorized follow-up.
  • Generate the two deferred wiki routing outputs: update apps/wiki/content/docs/project/specs/cli/meta.json and create apps/wiki/content/docs/project/specs/cli/project-generated-managed-file-ownership/meta.json.
