Rewrite the hook-protocol RFC's process-relative wording (freshly-landed
/ days-old / week-old) as timeless evidence anchored to the recorded
RFCs, and sweep the same class from the steering, replay-config,
subagent-vocabulary, and vocabulary RFCs. Narrow the fs RFC's acceptance
criterion: replaceAll survives on the request spec and version on other
outcome types by design — name the exact removed surfaces instead of
claiming the spellings vanish.
The branch now bases on the hooks stack (PR #138's head), so every
'in-flight' reference to stack content became a current-state fact.
Audited all nine RFCs + three supplements claim-by-claim against the
merged tree (none invalidated; several strengthened):
- prune-dead-core-spine-surface: describe the landed tools/pre-execute →
dispatch → tools/post-execute pipeline — listeners return Decisions,
the registry builds every result and snapshots it to protect callId,
and a second (mutation-guard) test pins the field; drop the resolved
wait-for-interception hedge; scope the additionalContext ferry out.
- prune-producerless-vocabulary-variants: the ui-stdio fixture migrated
off the continuation trigger (llm-replay is the sole writer now); the
stack's own additions (rejected, prompt/blocked, hook/invoked+result)
all arrived with producers — the admission policy demonstrated live.
- prune-unimplemented-subagent-vocabulary: enrichment landed as
lastAssistantMessage only (agentType was dropped in the stack's own
review — the same judgment this RFC extends); the seam RFC now names
tools/pre-execute deny, which exists, sharpening the re-add path.
- drop-inert-request-knobs / drop-image-content-block /
trim-acp-bridge-unreachable-surface: current-state rewordings (shipped
bridges set no request fields; only compact-basic has explicit image
arms; 13 hook goldens also pin agentInfo).
- generic-long-running-tool-runtime census: second production seam
consumer (hook-protocol runHook: resolve+run, stdin/env, foreground
only — background machinery stays single-consumer); scrub-duplication
blast radius.
- discover-package-inventory: identical 54-entry tsconfig reference
sets; the comparesLog scenario knob (fixture-derivable, like recorded).
- unify-agent-and-session-id: third divergence site (in-process subagent
children mint two UUIDs), the hooks bridge id-lookups, and ui-stdio's
labelBySession map as a consumer that deletes under unification.
New RFCs from the post-stack survey:
- remove-agent-steering-mirror: the last mirror-of-durable event; zero
production listeners; both retention RFCs deferred its fate, and the
'no durable twin' rationale is contradicted by the adjacent append.
- tighten-hook-protocol-contract: producer-less 'native' dialect,
parsed-and-discarded suppressOutput, and hook/result semantics
(truncation + decision-string) defined twice in the bridges instead
of the lib that owns the event.
- single-source-acp-replay-config: cordis.yml/cordis.snapshot.yml differ
by exactly one plugin entry, with no gate on the forced symmetry.
Model-driving ACP snapshot scenarios shipped both session.jsonl (the
replay fixture) and session.golden.jsonl (the expected re-persisted log).
For recorded scenarios the normalized fixture and golden were byte-identical
— pure duplication. Remove session.golden.jsonl entirely: every model
scenario now has at most one committed session-log artifact, session.jsonl,
which doubles as the replay source AND the expected produced log.
The snapshot test compares the replay run's persisted log against the
session.jsonl fixture, normalizing BOTH sides — but each against its OWN
volatile values, not a shared context. A raw harvested fixture bakes in the
recording run's session id / cwd / timestamps, distinct from the live replay
run's; since normalizeSessionLog scrubs cwd by exact string match, the
fixture must be normalized against its own header (new fixtureContext helper)
or its stale recorded cwd would leak unscrubbed and the compare would fail.
The session side uses a normalized-string toEqual, NOT toMatchFileSnapshot,
so a run never overwrites the fixture.
Authored override scenarios (error-finish, cancel) now hold their expected
produced log in session.jsonl. Verified llm-replay ignores the fixture for
model chunks when an override exists: loadReplayScript() returns the override
array and never reads config.file, so committing the full expected log there
does not affect replay behavior.
The required-fixture guard is now per-kind: every scenario needs input.json +
stdout.golden.jsonl; model scenarios need session.jsonl; authored ones
additionally need replay.override.json. Updates the ACP-snapshot-tests RFC to
the reduced fixture set and moves the proposing RFC proposed -> implemented.
Add a second axis to every RFC — its class (feature, bug-fix,
simplification, architecture, process, testing) — encoded in the path
as docs/rfc/{lifecycle}/{class}/file.md. The folder is the label, so
the closed set is enforced by structure rather than a parsed field.
Two new doc-sync gates back it:
- verify-rfc-classification: every RFC sits in a valid class folder and
the README index lists it under the matching lifecycle→class heading.
- verify-doc-refs: every docs/*.md path cited in a packages|examples TS
comment resolves — closes a drift class verify-md-links can't see, and
catches the four comment refs this reorg moved.
The README gains a Classification section explaining the taxonomy and
per-class index sub-sections. A self-referential process RFC records why
the scheme is path-encoded and gated.
