feat: gate triage sources on a per-project :TRIAGE_SOURCES: declaration

2026-07-20T18:44:11+00:00

The general triage plugins (personal Gmail, cmail, calendar, Telegram, GitHub PRs) are template-synced into every project, so the old "plugins present" probe self-activated triage everywhere. The sentry live trial caught it reaching personal inboxes from a project that isn't a triage target. Now a general plugin activates only when the project names its basename in a :TRIAGE_SOURCES: line in notes.org Workflow State. A project-specific plugin stays active by presence. The gate lives in triage-intake Phase 0, so it fixes the interactive over-pull too, and sentry's pass-3 probe reads the same signal. Presence is capability, the declaration is activation. A project that declares nothing and owns no project plugin pulls nothing. Migration handoffs went to home and work. rulesets correctly declares nothing.

feat: extend the silent-until-signal heartbeat to the two MCP monitor loops

2026-07-20T18:39:29+00:00

Auto triage-intake and auto inbox-zero now collapse an empty check to a single " at HH:MM: nothing" line, matching the sentry quiet-fire heartbeat from Phase 1. Detection stays in-session, so the MCP-auth sources are scanned in full and only the output collapses. Inbox already had an acknowledge-only-on-empty rule, now unified to the standard format; triage's three-section sweep output gains the empty-sweep collapse. Completes the silent-until-signal spec (Phases 2-5): the spec is the shared-policy home the three workflows reference, and a manual-testing entry covers the live-loop verification. Spec flipped to IMPLEMENTED.

feat(sentry): a quiet fire collapses to a one-line heartbeat

2026-07-20T17:30:51+00:00

A sentry fire whose passes all probe-skip or no-op now writes a single "sentry at HH:MM: nothing" line instead of a full per-pass digest block. A fire that runs or queues anything writes the full digest as before. This is Phase 1 of the silent-until-signal policy. The live trial's fires 3-8 were walls of no-op digests, the noise this removes. The "no silent skip" discipline is reconciled, not broken: inside a working fire every pass still writes its ran/skipped line, and a quiet fire's heartbeat is the explicit "nothing to do" record rather than a hidden skip.

docs: spec the silent-until-signal monitor policy

2026-07-20T17:16:33+00:00

An in-session monitor loop (sentry, auto triage-intake, auto inbox-zero) fires the model every interval and narrates a full turn even when nothing changed, so a session fills with quiet-fire noise. The spec settles the fix as a policy, not a watcher: detect first, and on an empty check collapse to one labelled heartbeat line, spending a full turn only on a real item. Keeping detection in-session dissolves the MCP-auth split (triage's sources need the session's auth, which a detached watcher can't reach), so it applies uniformly across all three loops. DRAFT, decisions resolved live. Links a [#B] build task.

chore: file inbox-zero-phase-e source artifacts into docs/design/

2026-07-20T13:52:48+00:00

The autonomous-batch spec's three source artifacts (the Phase E proposal, its diff, the sender note) moved from working/inbox-zero-phase-e/ into docs/design/ under dated names, with the spec's inbound links repointed. The spec is IMPLEMENTED, so the working dir was a filing candidate. Also removed the spent working/sentry-2026-07-19-working-files-ruling/ staging dir, whose proposal shipped in the working/-tracked-from-creation change. working/ is now empty and gone.

docs: fix four dangling file: links in specs and design notes

2026-07-20T13:49:52+00:00

Three pointed at artifacts that were folded in or processed away (a spec-review file merged into wrapup-routing-spec, a removed pearl inbox note, a home-side subprojects log with no rulesets file) — delinked to plain text so the reference survives without a dead link. The fourth repoints the autonomous-batch spec at inbox.org, since inbox-zero.org was renamed in the consolidation. Surfaced by the sentry link-integrity pass.

docs: spec the triage source-activation model

2026-07-20T13:46:42+00:00

The sentry live trial surfaced that triage-intake self-activates in every project. The general personal-account plugins are template-synced everywhere, so its probe reads present-everywhere as active-everywhere. The spec captures the fix: general plugins gate on a per-project :TRIAGE_SOURCES: declaration, project-specific plugins stay active by presence, and the activation layer lives in triage-intake Phase 0 so it fixes interactive runs too. DRAFT, pending review. Links a [#B] build task.

chore(sentry): flip spec to IMPLEMENTED and close the build task

2026-07-19T10:05:33+00:00

Phase 4. All four phases shipped and the suite is green, so the spec keyword moves DOING to IMPLEMENTED with a dated history line and the Metadata Status mirrors it. The build task and its phase sub-tasks close (the sub-tasks become dated event-log entries per the depth rule). The overnight live trial is the one piece an agent can't run, so it's filed as a structured manual-testing task: entry gates with Craig present, one fire observed end to end, the wrap-up guard and stop-sentry, and the morning branch review. Its findings become follow-up tasks rather than gating the flip.

chore(spec): flip sentry to DOING and decompose the build

2026-07-19T09:37:16+00:00

Craig approved the sentry spec after his deep read. Flipped DRAFT → READY → DOING with dated history lines, mirrored the Metadata status, and decomposed the build task into the four implementation phases under a SPEC_ID-bound parent.

fix(spec): file the suite-policy decision under Decisions, not findings

2026-07-16T21:30:37+00:00

Decision 10 was sitting at the bottom of Review findings. It's written in Context/Decision/Consequences shape, unlike the Resolved-notes around it, and the finding at "Per-pass commits skip the pre-commit suite run" points at it by name, so the pointer was there and the target was in the wrong section. That one misfiling made both cookies lie. Decisions read [10/10] by hand while org would have computed [9/9]. Review findings read [/], uncomputed, and would have resolved to 13, which was 12 findings plus the stray decision. Moving it and letting org recompute gives [10/10] and [12/12], both live. Nothing was lost. Every decision and finding was present and resolved. But the readiness gate reads those cookies, and a spec about to be graded on them shouldn't carry one that's stale and one that's dead.
