- five decisions: refuse incoherent heartbeat/idle_ms pair at construction;
codec = two C builtins deflate+crc32 (perf over pure-.wo; hand-rolled, no
zlib dep; gzip framing in .wo); ETag over uncompressed bytes + Vary;
Last-Event-ID explicitly unsupported (not silently ignored); Vary via
comma-join
- language enhancement: YES, two builtins -- the track's SECOND language
dependency after iteration 2's random_bytes. CRC32 finally gets its
consumer; inflate deliberately not built (request-body decompression OOS)
- corrected stale dependency: Vary uses iteration 5's comma-join, so story 7
depends on 6 + 5, NOT 2; codec is pure compute, not lang-41-exposed
- confirmed CRC32 absent + iteration 36 bit operators landed (pure-.wo was
viable, traded for hot-path speed)
- validated against .dev/reference/fiber. Board synced
(cherry picked from commit 07f53574dd90f502235b79d4920eab3d684c8b77)
- `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/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);
