handoff procedure

HANDOFF - 9cfe315c -> 4b21e0a7

PART 1 is forge's own ground truth and is authoritative for facts; PART 2 is the handing-over session's own words.

PART 1: GROUND TRUTH (written by forge, not by a model)
seat: Busytools/forge/server-browser
cwd: /Users/vedhavyas/Projects/forge
branch: worktree-server-browser @ 84369aae
role: worker, charter opens: You build the cut.
files: changed: crates/forge-browser/src/service.rs
board: the server browser (in progress)
agents: Explore: scan the pile (3 calls)
background: local_bash: cargo watch [b1]
monitors: watch the build [m1]: tail -f build.log
processes: 42 cargo: cargo nextest run
record: ~/.claude/projects/…/9cfe315c.jsonl

PART 2: JUDGMENT (written by the session that is handing over)
note: round-1 item 7; configure_encoding missing, spawn args wired. Worktree server-browser at 84369aae, PR #2502 in flight; just check failed on client-tauri-test. Next: add configure_encoding, then just check.

Make the call tree the default, let me open one call at a time, and cover every kind the CLI can produce.

Every call, message and thought on its own row, in the order it arrived, the kind's glyph leading it - and a call opens on its own. Edits are the exception: their diff is already there. A row of the turn being written enters once, the first time it is drawn: a 260ms fade and a 6px rise over 220ms on one gentle curve, so a row landing as the turn ends enters too. A row the list draws again - a scroll back, a rebuild - does not replay it, and a settled page draws still; a page that lands on a turn still being written carries rows the reader has not seen, and those enter. None of it runs under reduced motion.

The note

Send this before the merge, so the bot carries the header on every request.

yaml
Rate limiting is going into the api in PR #150. The liquidation bot has to send one header on every api request.

Set `service_key` per environment in the bot's own config.

The api ignores the header until the limits are live, so it can ship first.

Nothing needs rotating for this. The api reference lists the other environments.


One value per environment:

environmentkey
staging service_key
production service_key

Two things to settle first:

  • Nothing here is rolled out yet. The limits are staged and the header is ignored until they go live.

  • The bot keeps its own key. It rotates on the api's own schedule.

Worth checking whether the staging limit still matches production.

one group Both of them landed while I was in the tree, so the reader gets one group instead of the wall. The alternative is a run of read/search rows with no shape to it.

This session is being continued from a previous conversation that ran out of context.

What happened

  • the rows rework landed
compaction

A session start is one row, closed on what fired and how many hooks it carried, and it opens onto the hooks that said anything - a hook that finished without a word draws no row of its own, save one that failed or is still running. A failed start says so in words as well as tone: the label counts the hooks that failed.

A hook's own row, under a start or on its own, is closed on the hook and its own words - the markdown it injects drawn with its block marks off and its inline marks rendered, a JSON envelope read through to the context it carries - clipped to the one line the row has, with the whole output behind the open. A failed one's mark rides the closed row the way the failed chip's does, and a name that carries no event draws its event beside it.

The user is listening to this seat.

The user is listening to this seat.

Speak what they should hear as you would say it in a live conversation: send each message's substance through mcp__forge__voice__say as well as writing it in the chat, keeping the spoken form simpler and shorter so it lands by ear. A reply that is only written is one they will not hear. When the stop note arrives, you may stop speaking.

Opened, the start lists the hooks that said anything, each one drawn as the row a hook outside a start is, and the count on the closed row is what says how many the firing carried. A hook opened carries the whole of what it printed: a summary standing in for the output would be the drop rule 25 forbids, so the row collapses it instead of clipping it.

session start · 2 hooks
SessionStart:startup repository is clean
repository is clean branch main, nothing to commit
notify.sh (SessionStart)

A start that failed marks its closed row: the hook glyph takes the failure tone and the label counts the hooks that failed, so the state reads without the tone alone. Inside, a hook that failed stays even where it printed nothing - its name and its mark are the whole of what it has to say.

session start · 3 hooks · 1 failed

And a start whose hooks all finished without a word: the row opens onto a muted line rather than onto nothing.

session start · 2 hooks
the hooks printed nothing

And a start whose hook is still out: the glyph stays neutral, because neither the passing nor the failure tone is true yet, and the running hook keeps its name with no tail.

Now the echo. My words land the moment I press enter, and the row says whether the core has taken them yet - so a slow dispatch reads as slow rather than as the box clearing for no reason. A refusal keeps the words in the row, names the reason and sends them again from there, because putting them back in the box lands them over whatever I typed since.

not taken yet · the word carries the state, and the rule is unchanged: it means these words are mine, and nothing else

Also drop the second fold - the newest turn is folded twice a frame.

taken · the mark settles and nothing is left saying so, which is today's row

the empty state I was after the empty statehttps://example.test/empty.png sits above the list.

live turn a turn actually running, so the states can be judged moving rather than described

Add the live-turn states to the mock: text streaming, calls landing one at a time, the row counting up.

And pin that row above the box while the turn runs, so I can tell from anywhere in the column whether it is still working. It keeps its place here while the turn is pinned and goes back into the turn at the end.

The band's read wait

Every narrative state speaks in the composer's band. A seat coming up, its first page still out, a command in flight, a compaction and a handoff all take the composer's body with one line, the same sweep and only the text changing; the column draws none of them. A worker's not running takes the same body but draws no sweep, because a stop is not progress. The read wait holds the body like the rest: there is nothing to type into until the page arrives. A row the column already holds - a send carried across a reload, or one the takeover bar sent - still draws above as the reader's own, so words already on their way are never invisible. A command the core answers itself draws no row: its answer is the feedback.

The command palette

Cmd+K's own surface, drawn here over the page: the fleet grouped its own way (the seats that want a person, the ones working, the ones asleep), forge's commands, then the doings. A decision wait keeps its seat's group and rides the line as a count, because the palette draws no mark of its own. The walk starts on the current project's lead, so Cmd+K then Enter lands there; typing filters across every group. A coarse pointer reaches the same palette through the magnifier drawn beside the chip - the desktop header does not carry it.
