- loader's resident:keys refusal said "rows are still fully resident"
and "until tasks 5c/5d land". Both false since f606fc9. Corrected to
name the real blocker: UPDATE needs read-modify-append
- databasev2 00-story: the sequence graph drew 2->3->4, which reads as
3 needing 2 and 4 needing 3. Both backwards, and it still drew the
2->5->6 path the 2026-08-27 amendment retired. Redrawn stating only
real dependencies, with 4 and 3 shown as composing rather than
ordered, and the execution order that actually happened
- databasev2 03: the hazard and its Outstanding entry both claimed
nothing fails "because iteration 2's storage half is unimplemented".
Marked discharged, and recorded that the hazard named only half the
danger — the bitmap walk would have dropped keys rows outright
- databasev2 06: pending -> hold (largely superseded, revisit only on
a measurement); dated its 5c/5d references
- porch 01: rewritten to the settled shape. readiness ready, status
in-progress, phases B and C marked superseded with why
- porch 01 claimed time.after "is still a reserved builtin id". False —
builtin 90, implemented. That claim is what made the iteration look
cheaper than it is
- porch README gains honest ledger rows for both features (partial,
being rebuilt), not shipped
- skill-catalog README pointed at a story path that moved tracks;

(cherry picked from commit b3d8c403e1d19ac27ec966de85cb293e0765795c)
- `readiness: ready | refine` is a SECOND axis, orthogonal to status.
`ready` = the brainstorm is complete and the decisions are LOCKED (a spec
approved, or the forks explicitly confirmed). `refine` = open forks remain
and it cannot be planned yet
- `status: refine` RETIRED because it carried both meanings at once, so a held
iteration with an approved spec (language 18, 26) was indistinguishable from
one nobody had thought about. status is now purely where the WORK is:
done | in-progress | pending | hold — `pending` was already the board's own
rendering word, so nothing new was invented
- all 47 iterations classified from EVIDENCE in their own text, not by guess:
"the four forks are SETTLED" / "spec + plan approved" / "Approved spec:" for
ready; "Forks the spec must settle" / "no spec exists yet" for refine. Every
shipped iteration is ready by definition. 19 done, 5 in-progress, 15
pending, 8 hold; 27 ready, 20 refine
- two iterations moved refine -> in-progress rather than -> pending: language
31 and 34 are absorbed into 24 and work on them is literally happening, which
the board already showed as 🔄 while their frontmatter said otherwise. That
disagreement is now gone
- board legend, board-views' frontmatter contract, and two new Dataview
queries updated — the useful one being `readiness: ready AND status:
pending`, the startable set
WHAT THE NEW AXIS IMMEDIATELY SURFACED: of 15 pending iterations, exactly ONE
is startable — databasev2 4, io_uring group-commit, whose forks were confirmed
settled 2026-08-20. Everything else pending needs a brainstorm first. That was
invisible while one key carried both meanings, and it is now on the board.
Also caught by the sweep, unrelated to readiness but found by cross-checking
frontmatter against the board: SIX duplicate rows. Every iteration moved into
databasev2 was still listed in the LANGUAGE pending table under its retired id
(23, 32, 33, 20, 21, 27) as well as its new one. Stale copies removed. And two
databasev2 rows made claims the sweep contradicts — iteration 1 was billed
"startable today" while its forks are open, and 6 still called itself the
ceiling-raiser after 2 took that role.

- docs/stories/databasev2/, numbered from 1. Six PENDING database iterations
moved from the language track and renumbered, keeping the old id in
`was_language_iteration:` so a search for "iteration 32" still finds it:
32 -> 3 WAL checkpoint, 23 -> 4 io_uring commit, 33 -> 7 single-file store,
27 -> 8 query grammar, 20 -> 9 cross-program, 21 -> 10 keypair auth.
Done work (9, 9b, 22) stays as v1 history; language 18 left whole
- the problem, read off the engine not guessed: rows are malloc'd slabs with
addresses stable forever, NO eviction/spill/paging anywhere in database/src,
the WAL never checkpoints so boot replays all history, and durability is one
process-global WO_DATA so no table can say it matters more than another.
An allocation failure IS a clean catchable WO_T_OOM — but swap thrash
arrives first and carries no error signal at all, which is the real hazard
- four new iterations:
1 measure the ceiling FIRST (curve not cliff; the three exits; kill -9 at
exhaustion) — every later default should follow from a number
2 `@table(mode: ram | durable | cold)` — the grammar ask. Small surface
(Ast.table_cfg gains a key, the parser already rejects unknown args), big
semantics: `durable` defaults so nothing changes silently, and the
compiler refuses a durable row holding a `ref` into a ram table
5 bounded tables + refuse/evict/back-pressure, shedding BEFORE the OS acts
6 cold tiering — mostly forks, incl. whether the language surfaces the
fault cost and whether @unique on cold is refused outright. A paged
B-tree stays rejected: if tiering needs one, reject tiering
- 39 links repointed, link TEXT renumbered to track-local ids; arc gains one
pointer row replacing the six moved; board + board-views cover three tracks
- linkcheck 0 broken / 0 anchors; no code blocks in any story

- docs/stories/porch/ — a TRACK folder, not a status folder: status still
lives only in frontmatter. Adds `track: porch` so a query over
docs/stories/ can tell a porch 3 from a language 3
- 00-story.md carries the sequence, the dependency graph, and a table of
what the track explicitly does NOT own (binding -> 29, cache -> 18,
proxy -> 38, metrics -> 30, TLS/templates -> doctrine)
- eight iterations, each with phases, per-phase tasks, Given/When/Then
criteria, out-of-scope and the forks a spec must settle:
1 store-backed middleware (limiter + idempotency — needs nothing new,
first on purpose so the store pattern is proven cheaply)
2 randomness + cookies (phase A is language-track: a CSPRNG builtin;
`Resp.headers` being a map cannot emit two Set-Cookie lines)
3 sessions 4 CSRF 5 routing/response ergonomics (independent)
6 streaming core (the seam 7 and 8 wait on; chunked-request refusal
must survive) 7 SSE + compression 8 static + lifecycle hooks
- language iteration 39 -> status: hold, retitled superseded, with a row
mapping each of its goals to the porch iteration that took it. Kept, not
deleted: the Fiber study cites it and its randomness argument is what
this track is built on
- board gains a porch section; board-views gains porch and both-track
Dataview queries; porch README and the Fiber study §7 point at the track
- no code blocks in any story (plans carry concept and actions in words);
