Extends the in-memory cache into a durable mirror. The reconcile snapshot is
written to disk on every successful reconcile; on boot the app shows it instantly
(stale-while-revalidate) instead of a blank board, and if gitea is unreachable,
reads fall back to it (offline). Rebuildable — the durable truth stays in gitea.
- snapshot-store.ts: load/save the snapshot as JSON in app userData (never throws;
corrupt/absent → "no cache"). At this scale (~34 issues, 37KB) the whole snapshot
fits in memory, so a JSON file beats indexed SQL — no query benefit yet, no
native-module (better-sqlite3/electron-rebuild) or WASM dependency. That's the
next step if the mirror ever needs indexed queries over larger data.
- gitea.ts: getSnapshot persists on a fresh pull; bootSnapshot() returns the
persisted snapshot (without seeding the cache — agents still reconcile fresh);
gitea:boot serves it; gitea:reconcile falls back to it on failure (stale:true).
- useBacklog: stale-while-revalidate — boot instantly, then a fresh reconcile
supersedes; a reconcile error keeps the shown snapshot instead of erroring.
Verified: desktop typecheck clean, 14 fixture e2e green. Live: the snapshot
persists (34 issues / 44 deps / 34 timelines / 5 milestones written to disk); a
second launch with gitea unreachable renders the full real board — NOW/NEXT/LATER
+ the Monte Carlo cone — entirely from the cache (new live-persistence e2e).

A full reconcile is ~2N gitea calls (deps + timelines per issue). Every agent
tool call (query_project) was doing a fresh one; the UI reconcile and the agent
didn't share anything. Now a single in-memory snapshot cache backs both.
- gitea.ts: getSnapshot(client, { maxAgeMs }) — reads within the window reuse the
cache; maxAgeMs:0 forces fresh. invalidateSnapshot() drops it. The explicit UI
reconcile forces fresh (and warms the cache); agent tool calls tolerate a 30s
TTL to stay responsive; applyChange + createIssues invalidate so the board and
forecast reflect the write immediately.
- model.ts: query_project reads getSnapshot (30s TTL) instead of reconciling live.
This is the SQLite mirror's cache semantics in memory — rebuildable, the durable
truth stays in gitea (purity split, D4). Persistent SQLite (offline + instant
boot) is a separate slice: Electron 34's Node 20 has no node:sqlite, so it needs
better-sqlite3 + electron-rebuild or sql.js/WASM — deferred as its own decision.
Verified: desktop typecheck clean, 14 fixture e2e green, live Reginald still
answers correctly from the cache (writes invalidate → board stays correct).

The last agent tool. When the PM states standing intent ("pilots come first"),
Reginald logs it verbatim to an append-only JSONL ledger in the pm-state repo —
a directive is intent; its effects still land through propose_change. This
completes Reginald's tool surface: query_project · propose_change · capture_work
· record_directive.
core (@commitea/core):
- directives/record-directive-v0: schema (kind/quote/target/params/rationale +
id/ts/status), serialize/parseDirectiveLog (ts-ordered, seq computed on read,
corrupt lines skipped), appendDirective (concatenation merge), toDirectiveInput.
- RECORD_DIRECTIVE_TOOL + system prompt update ("log standing intent; never claim
a change is applied").
- gitea client: getFile/putFile (contents API, base64-agnostic) for the pm-state repo.
app:
- main: a pm-state client (same token, `commitea-pm-state` repo — the purity
split, D4); appendDirectiveEntry (read→append→write, id/ts stamped here),
readDirectives. model:chat executes record_directive; pmstate:directives reads
the ledger. Degrades cleanly when the pm-state repo is absent.
- Directives screen shows the real ledger when present, the fixture demo otherwise.
Note: the pm-state repo isn't created yet — my token lacks write:user (repo
creation). Create `commitea-pm-state` (private) to activate the live path; all the
code + tests are in place. Override with COMMITEA_PMSTATE_REPO.
Verified: 116 core tests green (8 directive + 2 contents-API added), desktop
typecheck clean, 14 fixture e2e green. Gated live test: the real gemma-4-26b calls
record_directive for "pilots come first" (logs intent, doesn't claim to apply it);
the append/read + POST/PUT contents paths are unit-tested.

The last big agent capability. In the Capture screen, a rough braindump runs real
big-model decomposition into a small, estimated issue set; you review/edit the
labels and approve, and the issues are opened in gitea. This is the one place the
big model earns its keep (docs/agent-tools.md).
core (@commitea/core):
- capture-work: PROPOSE_ISSUES_TOOL + CAPTURE_SYSTEM; captureWork(complete, dump)
forces a single structured decomposition and returns validated issues; parseCaptureArgs
drops blank titles + invalid est/p labels. ProposedIssue / CaptureProposal.
- gitea client: createIssue({title, body?, labelIds?}) → POST /issues, normalized.
app:
- model bridge model:capture runs captureWork on the (loaded) big model.
- gitea bridge gitea:createIssues opens each approved issue with its est/* + p/*
labels (reusing the #41 label-id resolver — zero-pollution, no invented labels).
- Capture screen: when a model is configured, "Brew tickets" runs real capture and
"Approve all" files the set; otherwise the scripted demo interview runs. Fixed a
race — the brew handler re-checks model status at click time so a configured
model never falls into the scripted path before status resolves.
Verified: 108 core tests green (7 capture + createIssue added), desktop typecheck
clean, 14 fixture e2e green. Gated live e2e against gemma-4-26b: the auth braindump
→ 3 real tickets ("Resolve token refresh + session staleness" est/3d p/1, "Fix
webhook double-firing" est/2d p/2, "Write auth setup docs" est/1d p/3), reviewable
and editable; Discard so the test files nothing (createIssue POST is unit-tested).

Completes "chat is the write-path" (decisions.md D1). Ask Reginald to re-estimate
or reprioritize an issue; it formulates a proposal, you approve it inline, and the
write runs through the same guarded apply_changes engine the Issue screen uses.
The model never writes — it proposes; the app owns approval + execution.
core (@commitea/core):
- propose_change tool declaration + REGINALD_SYSTEM updated ("never claim a change
is applied; you propose, the human approves").
- proposalsFor(args, currentLabels, title): pure — builds the concrete, non-noop
ChangeProposal(s) (change + label diff) for a propose_change request, dropping
invalid/unchanged axes. ChangeProposal / ProposeChangeArgs types.
app:
- model bridge executes propose_change by planning against the issue's current
labels (no write) and returns the proposals with the turn.
- useChat surfaces pending proposals + approve/dismiss; approve calls onApplyChange
(AppShell's guarded handler → PUT + board/forecast refetch), dismiss leaves it.
- ChatPanel renders each proposal as a propose-approve card (diff + Approve/Dismiss).
Verified: 101 core tests green (4 proposalsFor added), desktop typecheck clean,
14 fixture e2e green. Gated live e2e against gemma-4-26b: "Set the estimate on #3
to est/5d" → Reginald proposes "est/2d → est/5d" as an inline card, says it's
*proposed* not done; Dismiss leaves the repo untouched. The approve→write path is
the #41 engine (separately verified change→revert).

Instead of a hardcoded model name (which forces LM Studio to JIT-swap your loaded
model out — and fails when a big model already fills memory), resolve the model
at request time: an explicit env override wins, else ask the server which model
is *loaded* (LM Studio's native /api/v0/models), else the first non-embedding
model, else a default. Reginald now uses whatever you load, no config churn.
- main/model.ts: resolveLoadedModel() drives both model:status and model:chat;
COMMITEA_MODEL_SMALL still overrides.
- useChat exposes the resolved model id; the panel header shows it
(google/gemma-4-26b-a4b-qat → "gemma-4-26b-a4b · local").
- live-reginald e2e: header assertion relaxed to the loaded model; timeouts
raised for a slow big local model (~2 calls/turn + a reconcile).
Verified: 14 fixture e2e green; live e2e drives the app against the loaded
gemma-4-26b — "What now?" → "You should work on #2 … on the critical path,
unblocks #33 and #4" (the real scheduler pick), header shows the live model.

The fixture chat panel is now a working agent. Ask Reginald a question and it
consults the real project through a tool loop, then answers in grounded prose.
Read-only v0 — writes still go through the propose-approve controls.
core (@commitea/core/agent):
- chat-client: OpenAI-wire chat completions over an injected fetch (same seam as
gitea). Points at any OpenAI-compatible endpoint (LM Studio/Ollama/OpenAI).
- model-router: small model for prose + the read tool; big model reserved for
later decomposition (pickModel).
- agent-loop: runAgentTurn drives call→tool→result→call until prose (or a step
budget), recording each tool step. Injected complete + execute → fully testable.
- query-project: the single read tool's engine — compact focus/board/calibration/
issue/search views built from scheduler + lifecycle + calibration; unbuilt views
return a notImplemented marker (never fabricated). The model reports, never computes.
- agent-tools: query_project declaration + Reginald's system prompt.
app:
- main model bridge (model:status, model:chat) runs the loop; query_project
reconciles the repo and builds the view. Model traffic stays in main (token/CSP).
gitea.ts refactored to share getGiteaClient + reconcileSnapshot.
- preload + global.d.ts expose the model bridge; useChat drives the panel — real
agent turn when a model is configured, scripted fixture reply otherwise (so
fixture e2e is unchanged). A subtle "consulted the project" activity line.
Model config (env, defaults to LM Studio on :1234): COMMITEA_MODEL_URL /
_SMALL (google/gemma-4-e4b) / _BIG (qwen/qwen3.6-35b-a3b). COMMITEA_E2E=1 keeps
it unconfigured so the panel stays scripted.
Verified: 88 core tests green (14 agent: client parse, loop tool/error/budget,
all views) + a gated live integration test. Desktop typecheck clean, 14 fixture
e2e green. Gated live e2e drives the real app against gitea + gemma-4-e4b: asked
"what now?", Reginald called query_project and answered "focus is on issue #2"
(the real scheduler pick).

The first write path. Read, forecast, and calibration were all real; now you can
*manage* CommiTea from CommiTea. Estimates/priority are exclusive label axes, so
a change is a label swap — proposed, approved, then written. Nothing is assumed.
core (@commitea/core):
- planIssueChange(current, change): pure diff planner — swaps the est/*|p/* axis,
clears on null, dedups a doubled axis; returns the resulting label set + a
before/after diff + noop flag. describeChange() renders "est/2d → est/5d".
- request() seam extended for writes (method/body, JSON, 204). client gains
listLabels() (name→id) and setIssueLabels() (PUT /issues/{n}/labels).
app:
- main bridge gitea:applyChange — resolves plan.labels → ids (cached, refetch on
miss), PUTs, returns the plan + fresh issue. Token never leaves main.
- preload + global.d.ts expose applyChange; useBacklog returns a refetch so a
write re-reconciles the board + forecast.
- Issue screen: an Adjust button (shown only when configured) opens a
propose-approve Dialog — estimate/priority pickers, live "est/3d → est/8d"
consequence, Apply/Cancel. AppShell wires it, reflects new labels on the open
issue immediately, and refetches.
Verified: 83 core tests green (7 apply-changes + 2 client-write new), desktop
typecheck clean, 14 fixture e2e green. Live spec exercises propose + CANCEL (no
mutation); the real PUT was verified once manually (change #2 est/3d→est/8d→200,
reverted clean). Icon: pencil (no sliders-horizontal in the set).

Fill the board's Steeping / In-review columns (and the calibration actuals)
from real gitea timeline events, replacing the three-column-only v0.
core (@commitea/core):
- inferLifecycle(issue, events, asOf): five-column inference — closed → done;
open PR ref → review; commit ref → steeping; any triage signal → triage;
else diagnosis. Earliest event of each kind fixes the stage timestamp.
- Derives actualWorkingDays (work-start → close) — the estimate-vs-actual the
calibration fit (D3) learns from — and steepingDays (first commit → now) for
the board age badge.
- workingDaysBetween(): whole Mon–Fri days in [start, end), day-granular.
- normalizeTimeline() + client.getIssueTimeline(): map gitea's raw timeline
(label/milestone → triage, commit_ref → commit, pull_ref → pull, close,
reopen), drop the rest. Paginated.
app:
- reconcile now fetches every issue's timeline and returns it keyed by number;
threaded through the bridge → useBacklog → board/focus.
- issuesToBoardColumns + scheduleFocus run inferLifecycle: real Steeping/In-review
columns, steeping-age `days` badge, focus-card steeping badge.
Known refinement: gitea's pull_ref fires on any PR mention, so an issue merely
referenced in a PR body can read as In-review; distinguishing closing refs from
mentions needs the PR link's state (later). Re-opening multi-segment actuals
also deferred.
Verified: 63 core tests green (15 lifecycle, incl. workingDaysBetween + the five
transitions), desktop typecheck clean, 14 fixture e2e green, live spec asserts
the board's Done column is populated from real events.

CommiTea now recommends its own next unit of work from the live backlog.
- @commitea/core: `schedule()` — dependency topo-sort with priority +
estimate tie-breaks, single serial capacity, cycle detection, and
critical-path marking; `selectFocus()` takes the top three. Pure,
deterministic; the LLM does none of this. +11 tests (39 in core).
Client gains `getIssueDependencies`.
- main: reconcile also fetches native issue dependencies for the open
scope and returns edges.
- renderer: `scheduleFocus()` maps real issues+deps→Now/Next/Later;
Focus renders scheduler output (fixture fallback when unconfigured).
v0 scope (each a later slice): single serial worker (per-person
capacity #8), point durations (Monte Carlo cone #10), estimate-only
(calibration #5). Verified: 14 e2e green (fixtures) + gated live spec —
the board shows the real 25 open + 9 closed, and Focus picks #2
ChangeSource (critical path) as Now. Screenshots confirmed.

The app now displays its own live backlog instead of fixtures. First
end of the sync loop — the tap-root (#1) grows list reads and a read
path through the Electron main process.
- @commitea/core: client gains `listIssues` (paginated, PRs excluded)
and `listMilestones`; a `lifecycle-v0` mapper (closed→done,
labelled/milestoned→triage, bare→diagnosis — steeping/review await
event inference in P1-5). +10 unit tests.
- main: gitea bridge over IPC (token stays in main, never the renderer);
config from env / .env.local; gated off under COMMITEA_E2E so the
committed e2e stays on fixtures. Preload exposes the typed bridge.
- renderer: useBacklog() reconciles once on mount; issuesToBoardColumns
shapes real issues into The pot. Board takes optional real columns +
a loading state, falling back to demo fixtures when unconfigured.
Verified: 14 e2e green (fixture mode) + a gated live spec that launches
against the real repo — the board renders the actual 25 open + 9 closed
issues (screenshot). SQLite mirror + reconcile-on-a-timer + lifecycle
event inference are the next slices (#2/#3/#5).
