The forward queue moves out of the in-tree markdown file and into
Gitea issues at http://192.168.178.103:3000/Brummel/AILang/issues.
Labels: kind:{milestone,feature,todo,idea} + prio:{p1,p2,p3}
+ state:in-progress. Big chunks live as Gitea milestones
(containers) with full prose in the description; smaller items are
standalone issues. Browse-and-filter scales constant against
growing item count; the previous markdown file was 1059 lines, of
which ~850 were already-closed-entry verlauf (the same failure
class the JOURNAL cut removed).
Sync-drift Code<>Tracker mitigation: Soft-convention `closes #N`
/ `refs #N` in commit bodies — Gitea auto-closes the issue on
push. Captured in user-level CLAUDE.md (~/.claude/CLAUDE.md, not
in this commit) as the durable rule; no hook enforcement.
In-repo changes:
- docs/roadmap.md deleted.
- CLAUDE.md (project): Code-layout drops roadmap; /boss gating
retargeted; Roles section rewritten with a new "Gitea issues"
bullet (URL + tea-CLI snippet) and the closes-#N trailer note.
- skills/boss/SKILL.md: 10 sites retargeted, plus Step 1 now
prescribes `tea issues ls --labels prio:p1` as the queue read.
- skills/brainstorm/SKILL.md: Step 7.5 no-override BLOCK now
files a Gitea issue via `tea issues create` instead of
appending a roadmap entry; spec deletion stays.
- skills/audit/SKILL.md + ailang-architect.md: deferral
requirement and debt-heuristic retargeted; forward-intent
belongs in the Gitea backlog.
- skills/fieldtest/SKILL.md, skills/docwriter/SKILL.md +
ailang-docwriter.md: roadmap → backlog.
- design/contracts/honesty-rule.md: forward intent lives in
the Gitea backlog (pinned phrases unchanged).
- design/INDEX.md: Docs bullet drops roadmap, adds the backlog
URL.
- crates/ailang-core/tests/docs_honesty_pin.rs: two assert
messages retargeted (assertion bodies unchanged).
- bench/architect_sweeps.sh: Sweep-4 TABU extended with
`docs/roadmap\.md` so the deleted path cannot quietly regrow
as a cross-reference in design/contracts/.
Verification:
- cargo build --workspace clean.
- cargo test --workspace: 647 passed, 0 failed, 2 ignored.
- bench/architect_sweeps.sh exit 0 (all five sweeps clean, incl.
new TABU).
- grep over the live tree (excluding docs/specs/, docs/plans/)
shows zero residual docs/roadmap.md refs.
Not touched: ~55 historical files under docs/specs/ and
docs/plans/ that mention docs/roadmap.md. Snapshot-character,
analogous to the JOURNAL-cut precedent — historical specs are
not mass-edited just because a live file was retired; their
mentions were correct at write time.
A re-grep found 15 live references (excluding docs/specs/ and
docs/plans/, which stay historical) the previous two commits
missed — all in source comments, doctests, bench helpers, and one
agent file.
Per-file:
- crates/ail/src/main.rs: typeclass-coherence diagnostic comment
pointed at "the JOURNAL queue's wording" — points at
design/contracts/typeclasses.md alone.
- crates/ailang-prose/src/lib.rs: `//!` header referred to
docs/JOURNAL.md "Pinned: human-readable prose surface" —
retargeted to design/contracts/authoring-surface.md.
- crates/ailang-check/src/lib.rs: bugfix tag + "see iter
method-dispatch-refactor journal" prose collapsed to a clean
rationale paragraph; the canonical shape is stated inline.
- crates/ailang-surface/tests/prelude_decouple_carve_out_pin.rs:
"(d) record the rationale in a per-iter journal" →
"(d) record the rationale in the commit body".
- crates/ailang-surface/tests/prelude_module_hash_pin.rs: header
collapsed (pd.2/pd.3 milestone narrative dropped — the test's
purpose is self-evident from its body); both "per-iter journal"
drift-instructions point at the commit body.
- runtime/rc.c: "bench numbers in JOURNAL 18f.2" →
"original profiling bench numbers".
- bench/run.sh: two "JOURNAL entry" comments → "commit body".
- bench/architect_sweeps.sh: header rewritten (cross-ref to the
design-md-consolidation milestone commits, not a JOURNAL entry).
Sweep-4 extended with two new anti-regrowth phrases
("see the per-iter journal", "in a per-iter journal") so journal
prose can't grow back into design/contracts/ silently.
- skills/audit/agents/ailang-architect.md: "unlike a journal it
lives on main" → "since it lives on main".
- ail-embed/src/bin/timeshard_runner.rs: "records it in the
close-out journal" → "prints it to stderr".
- ail-embed/tests/timeshard.rs: two "journal-only friction timing"
→ "stderr-only friction timing".
Verification (after the edit):
- `grep -rin '\bjournal\b'` against live tree returns exactly two
hits: the Sweep-4 regex itself (intentional — TABU phrases that
prevent regrowth) and the PHRASES array in design_index_pin.rs
(intentional — the same regrowth guard at test level). Both are
load-bearing negative assertions.
- `bash bench/architect_sweeps.sh` exits 0 ("All five sweeps
clean") — no design/-side regrowth.
- `cargo build --workspace` green; `cargo test --workspace` green.
Gate-first TDD: widened design_index_pin.rs clause-3 to a hand-rolled
FAITHFUL Sweep-1 superset (case-sensitive digit-anchored line anchors
+ Sweep-1's ^[^/]* path-excluded date + the audit-named
decision-record phrases, case-insensitive); no regex dep; the blanket
iter-detector rejected as unworkable. Sentence-level strip of
faithfully-migrated history/decision-record prose out of 5 contract
files (the audit's 3 spot-checked + roundtrip-invariant.md +
data-model.md the exhaustive scan found) into the decision-record
journal, each replaced by its present-tense contract equivalent;
float-semantics.md stale 'see Str ABI below' -> str-abi.md;
architect_sweeps honesty sweeps re-scoped to design/contracts only
(models/ is the narrative tier) + ailang-architect.md lockstep.
Invariant: clause-3 GREEN => Sweep-1 clean in contracts/.
The prior dispatch correctly BLOCKED on a real plan defect (iso_date
lacked Sweep-1's path-exclusion, over-firing on legit
docs/specs/2026-.. citations); per the two+-defects-in-one-iteration
discipline the audit Resolution mechanism+scope were corrected
upstream in lockstep (f2cdd67) before re-dispatch, not patched a
third time.
Boss-verified independently: cargo test --workspace 646/0,
design_index_pin 4/4 (clause-3 RED->GREEN), architect_sweeps.sh exit
0 'All five sweeps clean' (acceptance criterion 9 met), acceptance
grep CLEAN, 3 docs_honesty_pin pinned runs each exactly 1 contiguous
match. Zero spec/quality re-loops. FINAL design-md-rolesplit
iteration — milestone functionally complete, audited, drift-resolved,
hard gate enforces the honesty spirit.
The 3020-line docs/DESIGN.md is replaced by the design/ ledger:
design/INDEX.md (sole addressable spine, typed Contracts+Models tables,
polymorphic links — prose file OR authoritative source //!), 14
design/contracts/*.md test-linked invariants + 3 source-link-only
contracts (mangling/env-construction/qualified-xref, no prose file —
code is SoT), 5 design/models/*.md whitepapers, and
docs/journals/2026-05-19-design-decision-records.md (the
relitigation-guard archive — every why/rejected/does-not-do/rollback/
empirical ### moved out at ###-granularity). Clean cut: git rm
docs/DESIGN.md, no stub.
RED-first crates/ailang-core/tests/design_index_pin.rs — the 4-clause
anti-regrowth spine (DESIGN.md-gone / every-INDEX-link-resolves /
every-contract-names-a-resolvable-ratifier /
contracts-carry-no-decision-record-prose) — demonstrably RED before,
GREEN after. Build-atomic by task ordering: design_schema_drift.rs's
include_str! (the only compile-time consumer) retargeted to
design/contracts/data-model.md BEFORE the deletion; its
## Data model/## Pipeline slicer dropped (a simplification the split
enables). 2 NoInstance diagnostics + 2 lockstep E2Es retargeted to
design/contracts/{float-semantics,typeclasses}.md. ~12 agent reading
lists + 5 SKILL bodies + CLAUDE.md + skills/README.md + ~25
code/C/.ail/spec comment xrefs retargeted; OQ7 dangling 'Iter 13b'
cite deleted (no forward target — a pointer would be fiction).
honesty-rule.md rewritten so the rule names the new home
(rationale->journals), resolving the recon-found internal
contradiction; the two docs_honesty_pin.rs:70,72 pinned phrases kept
verbatim+contiguous.
Boss-verified independently: cargo test --workspace 646 passed /
0 failed; design_index_pin 4/4; acceptance grep CLEAN of live
DESIGN.md refs (residuals = only the spec-mandated clause-4
deletion-enforcer). 2 DONE_WITH_CONCERNS routed to the mandatory
milestone-close audit: (a) str-abi.md:23 '(iter str-concat,
2026-05-13)' provenance stamp trips advisory architect_sweeps Sweep-1
— Boss-confirmed byte-identical to DESIGN.md@deeffb1:2062-2065, a
faithfully-migrated PRE-EXISTING anchor (regexes verbatim, only path
retargeted), NOT split-introduced — RATIFY-or-tidy at audit; (b) a
now stale-direction intra-prose 'see Str ABI below' cross-ref in
float-semantics.md — audit-adjudication candidate. Plan defect noted:
Task 9 Step 4's verbatim acceptance grep used a ^./ anchor not
matching the system's grep -rIn output; substance re-verified CLEAN.
Spec grounding-check PASS x2. Journals INDEX + decision-records
pointer appended (Boss-only).
