shoney.arickathil 0435bd96f5 docs(commit-history): claim prefixes db2-ephemeral, db2-4b, db2-5, db2-14, agents, status
- registry rows for the prefixes this landing uses, claimed before their
  first commit as the file requires: `db2-ephemeral` (databasev2 2 task 6a),
  `db2-4b` (part B re-brainstorm), `db2-5` and `db2-14` (story docs),
  `agents` (the persona roster), `status` (cross-track board/graph sweeps)
- `db2-7` and `lang-18` registered after the fact — both already have
  commits on `dev` (`b31bd40`, `6b4b960`) and had no row

# Git commit history — features and their cherry-picks
Reference for **which commits carried which feature onto `master`**, so a
feature can be traced, re-reviewed, or reverted as a unit long after the
history it was written in has moved on.
## The workflow this file records
1. **Development happens on `dev`.** Not on `master`, and not on a fresh
branch per feature.
2. **Every commit on `dev` carries a feature-specific unique prefix**, written
as the conventional-commit scope — `feat(db2-keys): …`, `fix(db2-keys): …`.
The scope, not a bare leading word, so the repo keeps the `feat`/`fix`/`docs`
type it has used throughout. One prefix per feature, reused by every commit
belonging to it, which makes a feature's commits selectable with
`git log --grep` without reading a single diff.
3. **When the feature is ready** — complete, not merely green — `git checkout
master` and **cherry-pick** that feature's commits, in order.
4. **Record the result below**: the `dev` hashes, the `master` hashes the
cherry-pick produced, and the date. The two differ — a cherry-pick makes new
commits — and that mapping is the whole reason this file exists.
Ready means the same gate as always: no half-implemented feature reaches
master. An annotation the compiler accepts but does not honour counts as
broken, however green the suite.
## Prefix registry
One row per feature. The prefix is claimed here before its first commit, so two
features cannot collide.
| Prefix | Feature | Status |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `commit-history` | this file and the workflow it records | ✅ on `master` 2026-08-30 |
| `db2-keys` | databasev2 2 — `resident: keys` storage and readers | ✅ on `master` 2026-08-30 (with `db2-delta` and `db2-chains`). The “Not ready” note this row carried is spent: the loader refusal was lifted and updates are implemented |
| `db2-chain-review` | review of the databasev2 chain and dependency graph | ✅ on `master` 2026-08-30 |
| `db2-delta` | databasev2 2 — keys-resident updates as WAL delta records | ✅ on `master` 2026-08-30 |
| `db2-chains` / `db2-chain` | databasev2 11 — bounding a keys-resident row's delta chain | ✅ on `master` 2026-08-30 |
| `site` | the writeonce.de tutorial site | ✅ on `master` 2026-08-30 |
| `db2-migrate` | databasev2 12 — schema migrations (add/delete, declarative, auto on boot) | ✅ on `master` 2026-08-31 |
| `site-deploy` | the writeonce.de redeploy runbook (`docs/guides/deploying-site.md`) | ✅ on `master` 2026-08-31, picked as iteration 12's docs dependency |
| `site-update` | the developer loop for changing the site app (`docs/guides/updating-site.md`) | on `dev` 2026-08-31 |
| `site-submodule` | `docs/examples/site` extracted to github.com/shoneyJ/writeonce-site and consumed as a submodule | ✅ on `master` 2026-08-30. Both branches now track the site by revision; an edit to it is a commit in that repo plus a pointer bump here |
| `lang41` | runtime: unadopted shard must not impersonate shard 0 | on `dev` (`9dca0b4`); independent of the residency stack, not picked |
| `porch-store` | porch store tables, Limiter and Idempotent middleware (Phases A, B, C) | on `dev` (`519d411`, `5b1e82a`, `aee7926`). **In progress**: Phase C was uncommitted work from a parallel session, committed as-is, and calls `json.decode`/`json.encode` with no `use json` import |
| `query-corpus` | databasev2 query-grammar corpus #1 | on `dev` (`4c82461`). Conclusion was "no new grammar needed" |
| `lang42` | iteration 42 — bounded subprocess: `proc.run` bounded + parked (pidfd, caps, ceiling, owner-bound reaping), `proc.run_dl`; carries the alacritty/tmux/zen parity studies and the porch dependency-graph section from the same sweep | ✅ on `master` 2026-09-01 |
| `wmux` | the wmux track (`docs/stories/wmux/`, iteration 1 was language 43) — the terminal multiplexer, first of the softwares built with writeonce; story + gap-chain remap first, code follows gap by gap | on `dev` 2026-09-01 |
| `rt2` | the runtime-v2 track (`docs/stories/runtime-v2/`) — the runtime beyond sockets: streaming subprocess, PTY, signals-as-events, termios, fd passing, term.size/width; six iterations, all landed 2026-09-02 | on `dev` 2026-09-01 |
| `wmux` (code) | wmux rung 1 — the multiplexer example (`docs/examples/wmux`) + `just wmux` gate; sessions, attach by fd-handover, durable scrollback, restart replay | on `dev` 2026-09-02 (extends the `wmux` docs prefix) |
| `db2-7` | databasev2 7 — single-file store `WO_DATA=<path>.db` (registered after its first commit, `b31bd40`) | on `dev`, closed 2026-09-10 |
| `lang-18` | language 18 — `transaction { }` over the WAL's staged batch (registered after its first commit, `6b4b960`) | on `dev`, in progress since 2026-09-11 |
| `db2-ephemeral` | databasev2 2 task 6a — refuse `durable: true` without `WO_DATA`, `WO_EPHEMERAL=1` escape hatch, `.wob` v8 table bit (`WO_CLASSF_TABLE`); closes iteration 2 | on `dev` 2026-09-15 |
| `db2-4b` | databasev2 4 part B — the async barrier, re-brainstormed 2026-09-10 (docs only until the fold lands) | on `dev` 2026-09-15 |
| `db2-5` | databasev2 5 — bounded tables and eviction, the resident byte budget as Phase A; brainstormed to `ready` 2026-09-10 | on `dev` 2026-09-15 (docs) |
| `db2-14` | databasev2 14 — the shop workload story (`refine`) | on `dev` 2026-09-15 (docs) |
| `agents` | `.claude/agents` persona roster — codd/fielding/ada families, `lintor`, the README | on `dev` 2026-09-15 |
| `status` | cross-track reconciliation sweeps of the board, dependency graph and story tables (in use since `732c221`) | on `dev` |
## Cherry-picks onto master
Newest first. `dev` hash is the original; `master` hash is what the cherry-pick
produced.
| Date | Prefix | Feature | `dev` → `master` |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| 2026-09-01 | `lang42` | **iteration 42 — bounded subprocess**: `proc.run` parked (pidfd + epoll bundle, `_dl` retry mould) with deadline/output-cap/ceiling refusals by name and owner-bound reaping; `proc.run_dl` (id 96) states bounds per call; the pre-42 sequential-drain deadlock proven then dissolved. Includes the alacritty/tmux/zen-browser parity studies and the porch graph section. Zero conflicts. Verified on `master` after rebuild: 38 runtime suites 0 fail both dispatch flavors (`test_proc` 128/0, `test_wal` 5966/0), woc-test 557/0 (forced, not cached), subprocess-accept 12/0, site-accept 23/0 | `5b92e20` → `2f6d39d`, `75fbd30` → `b287bf7`, `821899b` → `afa16e5`, `c30507b` → `81c28d8`, `975959a` → `64542e5`, `a3b5dc3` → `ce98fa1`, `b147dd4` → `346f885`, `5dfbeda` → `49b0193` |
| 2026-08-31 | `db2-migrate` + `site-deploy` | **databasev2 12 — schema migrations v1**: WO_WAL_SCHEMA head record, name-keyed boot diff, record-level transcode for add/delete, poisons that bite only with records; plus the redeploy runbook the close-out edits (dev-only until now). Zero conflicts. Verified on `master`: 36 suites 0 fail (`test_wal` 5966/0), woc-test clean, residency-accept 14/0, site-accept 23/0 | `930a715` → `b594717`, `072e007` → `8d9207d`, `ba8519f` → `570e0d6`, `63a063b` → `b1b7984`, `b69092a` → `4a70fc7`, `b21943a` → `ace5699`, `4bb6ece` → `4f1fda1` |
| 2026-08-30 | `site-submodule` | **`docs/examples/site` becomes a submodule** — extracted to github.com/shoneyJ/writeonce-site with `git subtree split` (its own 9 commits of history, not a snapshot) | `4b56348` → `a5497a3`, `4eead89` → `565b894` |
| 2026-08-30 | `db2-keys` + `db2-delta` + `db2-chains` + `site` | **databasev2 `resident: keys`, end to end** — storage, readers, deletes, updates as delta records, bounded delta chains, and the tutorial chapter documenting them | 37 commits, mapped one-to-one below |
### 2026-08-30 — the databasev2 residency stack
The first cherry-pick under this convention, and it could not be a single
iteration: **databasev2 11 (bounded delta chains) does not stand alone.** Its
commits touch `wo_wal_fold_row_at`, `keys_fold_into` and `row_apply_field_keys`,
none of which existed on `master` — so the whole stack it sits on came with it,
in dev order:

**What was deliberately left on `dev`:** the 26 `porch-store` commits. porch 1
was re-scoped mid-flight (`79e6da4` reverts idempotency to porch 9), so it is
the exact case this file's “ready means complete, not merely green” bar exists to
catch. `lang41` and `query-corpus` also stayed — independent features, not
dependencies of this one.
**Three conflicts, all in docs, all resolved toward what `master` can honestly
claim:**
- `docs/examples/skill-catalog/README.md` — a one-line link fix inside a file
belonging to `query-corpus`, which is not on `master`. Edit dropped; the file
stays absent.
- `docs/00-databasev2-chain-review.md` — created by `db2-chain-review`, which the
prefix filter had excluded while later `db2-keys` commits kept editing it. Resolved
by picking that commit too, rather than dropping edit after edit.
- `docs/stories/00-status.md` — `b87c68f` carried one databasev2 status entry
bundled with two porch-1 entries. **Only the databasev2 entry was kept.** Taking
the whole block would have left `master` claiming porch 1 was done while none
of its code was there.
**Verified on `master` after the pick, not assumed:** `woc-test` clean; `wovm-test`
all 20 suites green (`test_wal` 5700/0, `test_table` 856/0); `just site` 23 checks,
0 failures; `residency-accept` 14 checks, 0 failures — including the leg proving
`resident: keys` without `WO_DATA` exits 2 and names the offending class.
**Still outstanding on `master`, and known:** databasev2 2 task 6's byte-budget
refusal. A missing *guard*, not an unhonoured annotation — the annotation is now
genuinely honoured, measured at a 2.55× smaller resident set. The other half of
task 6 (`durable: true` with no `WO_DATA` silently discarding writes) predates this
pick and is unchanged by it.
## Before this convention
Work up to 2026-08-29 landed on `master` by **merging** feature branches, so
those commits keep their original hashes and have no entry here.
`git log --merges master` is the record for that period.
The `db2-keys` and `porch-store` commits are the seam: they were written on
`porch-store-middleware` before this convention (`18ce4d5`, `f9c36ef`,
`11a92df`, `91411ae`, `6c8550a`, `01af1b9`) and were replayed onto `dev` with
prefixed titles. The replay was verified identical, not merely applied — after
it, `git diff porch-store-middleware dev` over the whole tree was empty.
On 2026-08-29 every other branch was consolidated so only `dev` and `master`
remain. Three could not be replayed and were preserved as **annotated tags**
instead — nothing is lost, and each tag's message says why:
| Tag | Why it is not on `dev` |
| --- | --- |
| `archive/cleanup-pre-existing-changes` | Aug 10, based on an Aug 8 commit. Carries `crates/` and `Cargo.toml` — the Rust runtime `master` has since deleted entirely. Replaying it would resurrect it. |
| `archive/ipc-attach` | Iteration 9c attach channel. Refactors `wo_row_insert`/`wo_row_update_field` into engine-encoded cores; `dev` rewrote those same functions for `db2-keys`. Two overlapping refactors of one function, ~250 conflicted lines. |
| `archive/keypair-auth` | Iteration 9d, builds on 9c — blocked by the same overlap. |
The 9c/9d hazard is specific and worth stating: that branch's contract
transfers ownership of `vals` **on failure as well as success**, while `dev`'s
keys-resident arm returns early *without* freeing. A merge that compiles and
passes could still leak or double-free. Reconciling them is an integration
task, not a conflict resolution — recover the work with
`git checkout -b <name> archive/ipc-attach` when it is scheduled.
