The branch was 17 ahead / 25 behind with 11 conflicting files, and drifting
further: db.c had been rewritten twice on master since (group commit, then
compaction). Resolved rather than rebased so both histories stay legible.
Conflicts, and how each was settled:
- db.c: BOTH semantics kept. Master's fatal path and compaction check now sit
behind the branch's `table_is_durable` predicate, in all three inline arms —
a volatile table reaches neither the barrier nor the compaction check
- db-bench sample: every mode from both sides (growth, growth-verify, randread,
replayseed, wmix) and ONE `boot` mode, which both sides had added
independently
- db-bench.py: all six legs kept. Both sides had also grown the same
WAL-size helper under different names; collapsed into one
- perf-targets: the branch's §5 (RAM ceiling) then master's §6/§7 — master's
numbering had already assumed a §5 it did not have
- story frontmatter: master's `status` (the landing truth) plus the branch's
`readiness` axis. 03 would have read `done` + `refine`, which is a
contradiction — it was brainstormed and landed on master, so `ready`
- board: both standup blocks newest-first; master's chain rows (a superset);
the branch's databasev2 1-2 rows with master's 3-4. Fixed a stray `|` in
master's row 3
- baseline: master's, then REGENERATED from a full campaign — 143 metrics,
132 checks, 0 failures with both sides' legs present
TWO HALF-EXPOSED FEATURES FIXED, because the merge rule is that master gets
no feature that is honoured in name only:
- `resident: keys` PARSED, set a .wob flag, and did nothing: rows stayed fully
resident. A developer could declare a 120 GB table keys-resident, watch it
compile, and be OOM-killed. The loader now REFUSES it with a message naming
what to write instead, until tasks 5c/5d land. The compiler still parses it
and its AST golden still passes, so the grammar work stays tested
- `durable: false` was honoured ONLY on the inline path. wo_db_exec_req had no
guard at all, so a volatile table written from an actor on a worker shard
would still be logged — precisely porch's session-table case, and precisely
what iteration 2 exists to provide. All three request-path arms now carry the
same predicate. Found by reading the merged code, not by a test: the obvious
probe runs main() on the primary and therefore only exercises the inline path
Verified on the merged tree: wovm-test 0, woc-test 0, oop-e2e 122/0,
residency-accept 8/0, db-bench 132/0, linkcheck clean.

Iteration 24 closes, absorbing 31 and 34. No code in this commit.
- stories 24, 31, 34 -> `status: done`, each with a landing banner. 24's
records the gate numbers and BOTH disclosed deviations: monitor takes
three arguments (the caller may be `main`, which has no mailbox) and a
v1 `call` reply is a typed scalar (which is what let the agreement be
checked at compile time, WO-E226). 31's notes it landed INSIDE 24 and
that a fifth mechanism it never anticipated came out of proving the
gate — the drain guarantee (40). 34's names the gap it did NOT close:
still no RNG, so CSRF/sessions stay blocked
- board: in-progress row cleared, marker doc deleted (convention), the
standup entry in the six-question shape, chain note — next link is
databasev2 4 (io_uring group-commit, chain 5)
- graph: PUBSUB2 (pub/sub + WebSockets, "rejected until here") -> done
- porch ledger: a WebSocket/pub-sub row added; the cancellation row now
says what it actually waits on rather than repeating "the arc"; the
README's "no WebSockets/SSE" limitation was stale — WebSockets are
supported, SSE and chunked encoding are not
- CODE-LOGIC: runtime/src gains the actor-lifecycle section (call, death,
the cap counter's sender/home-thread split, the monitor walk, the timer
list), the drain guarantee, and the digest section; docs/examples/chat
gains its own — actor topology, WHY two actors per connection, fd
ownership, and the shutdown choreography
Battery after the doc edits: wovm-test 36 suites 0 fail, woc-test exit 0,
oop-e2e 119/0, chat 11/0, web-app 46/0, linkcheck clean.

- `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.

- README: shipped concurrency/HTTP/WebSockets sat in the roadmap as "not yet
available"; "no package manager" contradicted [deps]; the deps example
would not have compiled (the key IS the module name)
- runtime/README: leads with wovm, wo-rt.c demoted to a historical section;
dropped 2 nonexistent recipes, crates/rt, @gc refcounting, 13 suites -> 18
- employee + log-watcher READMEs claimed "does not compile"; both are gates
- error catalog: +10 emitted codes incl WO-E250, the only diagnostic the
shipped query surface raises; recorded why the sweep rotted
- language-surface: group-by parses, then the typechecker refuses it
- 00-code-review + 00-link-audit re-run; history kept, not rewritten
- 48 dead Rust-era exploration links de-linked rather than re-pointed (their
prose names the retired plan by number); successor map -> discarded.md
- 08-project-structure: compiler/plan/ never existed; corpus has 9 dirs, 5 empty
- releasing.md: dropped a --draft step the workflow never had
- new docs/00-doc-audit.md: findings + disposition, incl one row where the
audit was wrong and the doc it accused was right
- status folders removed: 34 stories flat, status only in frontmatter; 252
links recomputed from resolved paths; board/board-views/structure retaught
- story 24 -> in-progress, since frontmatter is now the only truth
- new iteration 38: fs mutation verbs + net.connect, the two capability
families no iteration owned
- new iteration 39: gofiber/fiber v3.5.0 parity study. The ledger called
CSRF/sessions unblocked by iteration 34's HMAC, but the runtime has no
source of randomness at all
- linkcheck skips .dev/.superpowers: 0 broken paths, 0 bad anchors
