SPEC, DEV docs, and code comments still talked about the codebase as
a rewrite-in-progress against an external prototype. With v1 shipped
the framing reads oddly — it implies code is provisional when it's
the production thing. Recast §18 as "the technical stack," strip
"carryover from the prototype" comments across backend (api.py,
chat.py, providers.py) and frontend (DiffView, PromptBar,
SelectionTooltip, modelStyles), and rework SPEC §1 / §18 to introduce
OHM up front rather than as a follow-on to a prototype reference.
Also:
- RUNBOOK: bump Python prereq to 3.11+ to match the production VM
(was 3.13).
- Remove IMPLEMENTATION-PROMPT.md — the original implementation brief
is no longer load-bearing.
- Add deploy/DEPLOY-NEW-SESSION-PROMPT.md as the durable
deploy-handoff prompt for new sessions.
Per the §19.1 brief: the three-column shape (§8.1) opens on main
in discuss mode (§8.2), supports the §8.3 discuss-vs-contribute
flip on non-main branches, hosts §8.4's per-branch chat with AI
participation (§18's <change> protocol → §8.14 changes rows), the
§8.8 change-card panel with §8.9 accept/decline/edit-before-accept,
the §8.10 tracked-change markup + DiffView toggle, the §8.11
manual-edit flushes with the stale-change mechanic, the §8.12
range and paragraph sub-threads, the §8.13 flag affordance, and
the §8.14 discuss-mode buffer.
Backend: bot.py grew per-RFC-repo write ops (cut_branch_from_main,
commit_accepted_change with the structured original/proposed/reason
body and Change-Id + Source-Message-Id + On-behalf-of trailers,
commit_manual_flush, ensure_rfc_repo_seed). cache.py grew
refresh_rfc_repo and the webhook dispatches on repository.full_name.
providers.py and chat.py port the §18 carryovers — multi-provider
LLM abstraction and SSE-streaming chat against the §5 threads /
thread_messages / changes schema. api_branches.py mounts the §17
branches/<branch>/* and threads/<thread_id>/* routes with the §6
/ §11 permission checks inline.
Frontend: RFCView.jsx rebuilt as the §8 surface; Editor.jsx,
ChatPanel.jsx, ChangePanel.jsx, PromptBar.jsx, SelectionTooltip.jsx,
DiffView.jsx, ModelPicker.jsx, modelStyles.js lifted from the
prototype and adapted to the canonical schema.
Covered by `backend/tests/test_rfc_view_vertical.py` — eleven new
integration tests against an extended FakeGitea (PUT contents,
POST orgs/{org}/repos, seed_rfc_repo): main-view read,
promote-to-branch, accept (with and without edit-before-accept),
decline, manual flush + system message, flag creation, visibility
flip, anonymous read-but-no-contribute, stale-change refusal, and
the chat-streaming path with a fake provider injected. The 5
Slice 1 tests continue to pass alongside.
