The histogram lane ships its code — scaffold merged, module extracted — and
documentation becomes the delivery bar: requirement #21 (safety.viz documentation site) was
filed, designed, and signed off in a single evening, decomposed into four sub-issues, with
the first two implementation PRs up as drafts before midnight. At wrap-up the blog series
joined the roadmap (#22) and the board got a four-move refresh.
Work completed
Histogram lane: scaffold merged, module extracted
safety.viz PR #3 (scaffold) merged
to main, closing safety.viz#1 —
clearing 07-04 loose end #1. Board: Released.
Histogram module extracted:
safety.viz PR #4 (opened and merged
same evening, into dev) closes
safety.viz#2. The pilot's ~680-line
src/index.js split into src/histogram.js (lifecycle API
init/setData/setSettings/render/resize/destroy, SH-API-001) plus
src/histogram/{configure,structureData,getScales,…}.js per the #2 design's
decomposition mapping; Red-Green TDD (failing tests first), requirement-keyed suite
(32 Vitest + 15 Playwright). Board: Released — but per the new done-gate (below),
hub #2 itself stays in
Development until the histogram's site entry deploys.
Requirement #21: safety.viz documentation site — filed → designed → signed off
#21 filed: a renderer only
counts as delivered when a reviewer can see it working, verify its evidence, and use its
API without cloning. A GitHub Pages site for safety.viz with three pillars per
renderer — example-gallery demo, test-evidence page, API reference — plus the process
rule that a renderer is not done (and its migration requirement not Released) until all
three are published.
Design doc
drafted, reviewed, and signed off same evening (recorded on #21). Four scoping
decisions settled with @jwildfire as inputs: plain Node build script (no framework),
committed evidence screenshots, JSDoc-generated API reference, publish on every merge
plus PR previews. Two review-driven additions:
Dual-purpose screenshots: committed evidence PNGs are simultaneously Playwright
toHaveScreenshot visual-regression baselines — evidence artifact, regression
baseline, and site image in one file, so site images can never silently go stale.
Baselines are canonical to the Playwright Linux container CI uses;
npm run evidence:update regenerates them deliberately; a CI freshness guard fails
the build on drift.
Branch model: gsm-style protected main + dev integration branch, with
three-tier site builds — site root from main (releases), /dev/ from the
integration branch, /pr/{N}/ previews per open PR. Already applied to the repo:
PR #4 retargeted to dev, main protected, CI now runs on dev pushes.
Design also positions evidence.json as the interim artifact for
#15 (qcthat-compatible JS
reporting — scope unchanged, backlog), supersedes the #1 design's examples-site
deferral, and sequences
gsm.safety#30 (Widget_Histogram)
after the histogram site entry.
The branching/release model and site done-gate are documented in safety.agent's
AGENTS.md for future sessions.
#21 decomposed; implementation begins
Four sub-issues filed via requirement-tasks:
safety.viz#5 (evidence pipeline),
#6 (API reference),
#7 (site build),
#8 (publishing).
Draft PR #9 (evidence pipeline,
Closes #5): unit-tested evidence normalizer (scripts/evidence-lib.mjs —
requirement-ID/issue-ref parsing, deterministic evidence.json, screenshot attachment,
freshness comparison), npm run evidence / evidence:check; first canonical baseline
set generated in CI via a temporary bootstrap trigger, then the trigger dropped. CI
green. Board: #5 in Review.
Draft PR #10 (API reference, for
#6): JSDoc annotations on the histogram public surface + generated API data artifact.
Both PRs written Red-Green (failing tests committed first); both end the session as
open drafts awaiting review.
#22 filed — the R/Pharma
developer-diary blog series captured as a requirement (approved in-session), companion
to #10: write post #5 from the
existing outline draft, outline the remaining posts through the October keynote (the
outline becomes the Design section), and clear the big.blog cross-post backlog.
Roadmap board refreshed (all four moves approved in-session):
#1 → Review (scaffold task closed,
examples-site deferral superseded by #21),
#3 → Review (only §7 credential
retirement remains), safety.viz#6 →
Review (draft PR #10 up), #22 →
Requirement Gathering. The
roadmap page reflects the
refresh as of this entry's deploy.
Harness: gsm.agent v0.2.0 + interactive HTML review
Tonight's gsm.agent PR #33
(open) adds an interactive HTML review mode to the issue-review skill — drafts
reviewed on a rendered page with approve/revise actions instead of terminal previews,
matching how @jwildfire actually reviews.
Advanced: #21 design signed off →
Development; #2 code complete but
held in Development by the done-gate; board moves
#1/#3/safety.viz#6
→ Review.
Blockers / risks
PRs #9/#10 are drafts, unreviewed — the site-build lane
(#7/#8)
consumes their outputs (evidence.json, API data artifact), so review latency gates the
rest of #21.
Pixel-baseline discipline is new: any rendering change now fails CI until baselines
are deliberately refreshed in the canonical container — cheap by design, but a workflow
habit to build.
Gilead-BioStats gh API remains SAML-blocked — gsm.agent PR state only verifiable via
the local clone.
Carried: obot-claw credential retirement (#3 design §7) still pending @jwildfire
sign-in; #17/#18
still in Requirement Gathering awaiting harness-proposal Q1–Q4.
Next session: loose ends
Review/undraft/merge PR #9 and
PR #10 (→ dev) — unblocks the
site build (#7).
Site build + publishing (#7,
#8) — includes the one-time
manual Pages setting (source = gh-pages branch) and the two small calls deferred to
implementation (sticky preview-comment mechanism; hero-screenshot choices).
First dev → main release PR once the histogram site entry is complete — that
deploy is what moves hub #2 (and
eventually #21) toward Released.
Local cleanup (non-deleting parts are routine; worktree removal needs the usual
care): 2-extract-histogram worktree is merged and has an untracked tmp-demo/; the
safety.viz main clone's dev is behind origin; the .github (gsm.agent) main
worktree is 6 commits behind upstream v0.2.0.
Blog lane — R/Pharma developer-diary series: write diary post #5 from the
existing outline draft (jwildfire.github.io/_drafts/autonomy-or-lack-thereof.md,
series part 5, the OBot-v2/Paperclip autonomy story) and outline the next few posts
through the October keynote. Decided 2026-07-08 and filed at wrap-up as
#22, companion to
#10 (keynote deck) — the series
outline becomes the Design section, individual posts become sub-issues.
Also pending in the same lane: big.blog's post/rpharma-keynote-diary-2-3 cross-post
branch is local-only/unpushed, and post #4 isn't cross-posted yet. (Both blog repos
live in ~/Documents/github/, outside the obot2 workspace.)
Carried from 07-04: #3 §7 credential retirement; advance #17/#18 into Design;
session-orchestration D1–D4; nightly diary revival (an #18 lane);
#15 stays backlog — now with
evidence.json as its designed interim artifact.
