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.
Add a rendered preview pane and split the Contribute-mode center
column. Discuss mode is now a single rendered preview (no more
read-only Tiptap mount); Contribute mode renders the CM6 raw editor
on the left and a live-updating preview on the right at 50/50, with
the existing chat + change-card panels untouched on the right.
The new MarkdownPreview component renders markdown via marked and
lazy-loads mermaid on the first encounter of a ```mermaid fence in
any rendered doc. Mermaid (~200 KB gzipped, plus dagre/graphlib
subchunks) stays out of the main bundle and is fetched only when a
diagram actually appears in the rendered content. The marked
renderer is scoped via a per-component Marked instance so the
mermaid-fence behavior does not leak to Editor.jsx / DiffView.
XSS hardening on mermaid: securityLevel: 'strict' is set explicitly
in mermaid.initialize. Verified end-to-end via a sandbox eval — a
hostile `<script>window.X=true</script>` payload inside a mermaid
fence is neutralized (no script tags in the rendered SVG, no global
side-effect, diagram still renders with the offending node label
empty).
The §8.12 selection tooltip is now sourced from window.getSelection()
inside the preview surface rather than Tiptap PM positions. The
SelectionTooltip's existing `{text, coords}` contract is unchanged;
coords come from the selection range's bounding rect. Anchor payloads
for flag threads now carry just the quote text — the PM-position
from/to fields that the Tiptap-era code attached are dropped (they
were never meaningful as durable anchors anyway; quote is what §8.12
and §8.13 specify).
Design decisions confirmed before coding (all defaults):
- PromptBar spans both panes at the bottom of the center column; it
operates on the document, not on either pane individually.
- Start-Contributing is a hard cut — no transition animation. Phase
6's chat-drawer collapse will redo the layout machinery anyway.
- Mermaid lazy-loads on first ```mermaid fence detected, not on
Contribute-mode entry. Keeps the gzipped cost off any doc that has
no diagrams.
- Below 1280px viewport, a narrow-viewport banner surfaces in
Contribute mode. The drawer collapse that fixes this properly is
Phase 6.
Mermaid integration is kept loose for the future authoring tool: the
placeholder DOM node carries the source as a data attribute, the
renderer takes (source) → SVG via mermaid.render, and per-block
memoization keys on source. A future authoring pane can intercept
the placeholder before SVG render without restructuring.
SPEC §8.3 updated to reflect the split-pane Contribute layout — the
smallest edit that captures the new shape.
Verification notes:
- Vite preview on :5180 — sandbox mount of MarkdownPreview confirms
rendering, mermaid SVG output, securityLevel:'strict' XSS
neutralization, and the window.getSelection → {text, coords}
bridge end to end.
- Network log confirms mermaid + sub-chunks are absent from initial
load and fetched only after first ```mermaid encounter.
- Backend was not running this session, so the manual-debounce
save-now / accept / decline / live-preview-mirror pathways were
not driven against a real branch; they remain verified by
inspection. Phase 1's verification gap therefore carries forward.
- 125 backend integration tests still green.

Swap the Contribute-mode editing surface from Tiptap WYSIWYG to a
CodeMirror 6 markdown source editor. Discuss mode and any read-only
viewing continues to render through Tiptap.
The §8.11 manual-edit debounce now reads the raw markdown source via
CodeMirror's doc, eliminating the lossy `editor.getText()` round-trip
that RFCView.jsx flagged as a §19.2 candidate; what the contributor
typed is exactly what gets POSTed to manual flush.
The §8.10 paragraph-margin gutter accent on Tiptap is dropped — it was
dead in read-only Discuss anyway, and Phase 4 of the Contribute
rewrite adds a change-anchored gutter against the CM6 raw pane.
The Tiptap-side accept-time injection of <span class="tracked-*">
markup also drops out — CM6 can't render those spans, and Phase 3's
preview pane is the proper home for tracked changes. The reviewMode /
DiffView toggle still works against marked-rendered HTML in the
interim until Phase 7 retires it.
Notes:
- Bundle gzipped grows ~50KB for CM6 modules (state/view/commands/
language/lang-markdown). Mermaid in Phase 2 will be the larger lift
and should lazy-load.
- Verified the CM6 editor mounts cleanly via Vite dev preview: ref
handle (`view/getDoc/setDoc`) is wired, `onUpdate` fires on doc
changes, gutter / line-numbers / active-line all render, and the
source round-trips verbatim. Could not drive the full RFCView
Contribute flow end-to-end without a running backend; the manual
countdown + save-now + accept/decline pathways are verified by
inspection only.
- 125 backend integration tests still green.

First §19.2 candidate settled after v1. The heavier per-RFC-model
topic subdivided into UX (this) and credential delegation + funder
role (still §19.2). New §6.6 carries the rule: an optional `models:`
frontmatter field on the meta-repo RFC entry; absent inherits the
operator universe, populated narrows the picker to the intersection
with provisioned providers, `[]` opts the RFC out of AI entirely.
The first resolved entry is the RFC default. §18's ENABLED_MODELS is
reframed as the operator universe.
Code: migration 009 adds nullable cached_rfcs.models_json (NULL ≠ []
is load-bearing); entry.py grows the optional field with absent-vs-
empty round-tripping in parse/serialize; new models_resolver module
holds the rule; api_branches replaces /api/models with the slug-aware
/api/rfcs/{slug}/models and threads the chat + reask paths through
the resolver; api_prs §10.2 uses the resolver and extends the stub
fallback to the opt-out case; frontend passes slug to listModels.
Tests 106/106 green (96 prior + 10 in test_per_rfc_models.py). No
behavioral change for entries without `models:` — operator universe
preserved as default.

§14.1 richer landing, §14.2 /philosophy route (disk-backed), §14.3
persistent About link. /settings/notifications surfaces Slice 6's
preferences/quiet-hours/mute/watches endpoints. /admin home base
consolidates role management, the §6.2 write-mute, the audit-log
viewer, the permission-events log, and the §13.2 graduation queue.
Backend: backend/app/philosophy.py, backend/app/api_admin.py (seven
admin endpoints + user-search), GET /api/users/me/notification-mutes.
Frontend: Landing.jsx (deck), Philosophy.jsx, NotificationSettings.jsx,
Admin.jsx, App.jsx routing for the chrome surfaces.
Tests: backend/tests/test_chrome_vertical.py — 13 cases. Full suite
75/75 green.
Spec corrections: §14.2 (PHILOSOPHY.md source is a deployment-time
decision), §17 (admin block extended to name the seven new endpoints
+ user-search and notification-mutes read). §19.1 rewritten for
Slice 8 hardening; §19.2 grew four candidates (owner succession,
mute-from-actor, the "Following since <date>" disclosure, audit-log
row prose).

The §13.3 transactional sequence flips a super-draft to active —
five steps with paired undoes, an in-process orchestrator fed by
an asyncio.Queue, the §17 SSE endpoint streaming step transitions
to the dialog. Each step is a new bot primitive that logs an
`actions` row, bracketed by `graduate_start` / `graduate_complete`
for the linkable audit sequence. Rollback runs the undoes in
reverse from the last completed step; merge_pr has no undo by
design per §13.5.
The §9.8 precondition gate is enforced server-side at the top of
POST /graduate so the §13.3 rollback complexity does not grow.
The §13.4 chat migration is a database semantic no-op — the
(slug, branch_name='main') threads keep their identity, only the
interpretation changes. The §9.8 pre-graduation history surfaces
via a new _is_meta_target(rfc, branch) dispatch helper and lands
as pre_graduation_history on /main.
§13.1 claim flow landed alongside since it's the prerequisite for
non-admin graduation — bot.open_claim_pr plus broadening
api_prs._require_pr to accept meta_claim.
45/45 tests green; ten new integration tests cover the validator,
the §9.8 precondition refusal, happy path with audit verification,
mid-sequence rollback at steps 2 and 3, concurrent refusal,
chat-survives-without-data-movement, pre-graduation history, and
the §13.1 claim PR cycle.
SPEC.md §19.1 rewritten for Slice 6 (notifications); §19.2 grew
four candidates surfaced during the slice.

The §17 routing-collapse rule lands in api_branches.py and
api_prs.py — every branches/<branch>/... and prs/<n>/... route
dispatches on the entry's state to pick the right Gitea repo, and
the body extracted from the entry's frontmatter envelope is what
the editor and the diff see. The bot grows open_metadata_pr;
cache grows refresh_meta_branches. Two §17 routes added:
start-edit-branch and metadata. The §9.4 super-draft view replaces
RFCView.jsx's Slice 2 placeholder; a metadata pane modal opens
from the breadcrumb. Branch naming uses edit-<slug>-<6hex> to
dodge the §19.2 path-routing candidate while preserving §9.5's
structural shape.
Covered by tests/test_super_draft_vertical.py (10 tests). The
full Slices 1-4 suite is 35/35 green.

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.

Brings the §1 bot wrapper, the §4 cache (webhook + reconciler), the
§5 schema (six numbered migrations), Gitea OAuth + §6 user
provisioning, the §7 catalog left pane, and the propose-to-merge
vertical: propose modal opens an idea PR against the meta repo, an
owner merges from the pending-idea view, the cache picks it up via
webhook or reconciler sweep, and the catalog renders the new
super-draft.
Per §1 the bot is the only Git writer; every commit, branch
creation, and PR merge carries the §6.5 On-behalf-of: trailer and
an `actions` audit row. Per §4 the cache is never written from a
user action — it's webhook+reconciler only.
Covered by `backend/tests/test_propose_vertical.py` against an
in-process Gitea simulator.
