**Inspecting the repo**

I need to check the repository for something called "loop smoke." I think it might be documented somewhere, so I'm considering searching through tasks or existing artifacts to find more information. There’s probably some context or details that could help me understand what this is about. Let’s see what I can discover!

**Evaluating quality and truthfulness**

I need to focus on reviewing the quality and truthfulness of the information. My next step is to inspect the evidence document. I’m wondering if it might be empty, which could impact my assessment. It's important to ensure that I have reliable and factual evidence; otherwise, the whole analysis could be skewed. I’ll check it out carefully to see what I’m working with.

# Task phase machine

Deterministic task-phase harness for meaningful execution work.

## Intent
LLM works inside a phase.
Runner/files enforce legal transitions and evidence gates.

## Core phases
- `intake`
- `shape`
- `implement`
- `verify`
- `review`
- `repair`
- `done`
- `blocked`
- `needs_user_decision`

## Deterministic transitions
```text
intake -> shape
shape -> implement | blocked | needs_user_decision
implement -> verify | blocked | needs_user_decision
verify -> review | repair | blocked | needs_user_decision
review -> done | repair | needs_user_decision
repair -> verify | blocked | needs_user_decision
```

Forbidden:
- `implement -> done`
- `shape -> done`
- `repair -> done`
- `verify -> implement`

## Required STATE.md fields
- Phase:
- Status:
- Objective:
- Done gate:
- Not doing:
- Reality constraints:
- Validation plan:
- Current result:
- Next step:
- Blockers:
- Evidence location:
- Evidence link:
- Candidate done: yes|no
- Validator status: pending|pass|fail
- Repair applied: yes|no
- Revalidation status: pending|pass|fail
- Last updated:

## Evidence rule
Assume the user reviews by opening files remotely.

So:
- always expose proof through a clickable link
- prefer full URLs when available
- for complex evidence bundles, use one HTML index such as `artifacts/evidence.html`

## Init helper
```bash
bin/task-phase-init T-123 --goal "..." --source "..." --repo /path/repo
```

Creates:
- `README.md`
- `STATE.md`
- `EVIDENCE.md`
- `artifacts/`
- `artifacts/evidence.html`
- `scratch/`

## One-pass runner
```bash
bin/task-phase-run --task-dir /home/sebas/work/tasks/T-123 --repo /path/repo
```

Behavior:
- reads `STATE.md`
- refuses terminal tasks
- builds a phase-specific prompt
- runs one bounded Pi pass
- requires `STATE.md` update
- requires legal phase transition
- enforces phase gates after the run
- writes pass artifacts under `artifacts/phase-runs/<timestamp>/`

## Loop controller
```bash
bin/task-phase-loop --task-dir /home/sebas/work/tasks/T-123 --repo /path/repo
```

Behavior:
- repeatedly calls `task-phase-run`
- stops on terminal phase:
  - `done`
  - `blocked`
  - `needs_user_decision`
- stops on runner failure
- stops on no material progress
- writes loop artifacts under `artifacts/phase-loop-runs/<timestamp>/`
- does not decide transitions itself; it only keeps advancing passes while the runner keeps accepting them


# Task System

Canonical lightweight task system for cross-session agent work on `ballbox-first`.

## Purpose

Use one simple stack:
- `BACKLOG.md` for loose ideas and research
- `TASKS.md` for concrete actionable work
- `DONE.md` for completed work log
- session `todo` for live short-horizon execution state
- per-task folders under `/home/sebas/work/tasks/` for notes and artifacts

This keeps shaping, execution, and history separate.

## Canonical files

- `/home/sebas/pi-config/docs/BACKLOG.md`
- `/home/sebas/pi-config/docs/TASKS.md`
- `/home/sebas/pi-config/docs/DONE.md`
- `/home/sebas/work/tasks/`

## Meanings

### Backlog
Use `BACKLOG.md` for work that is still being shaped.

Typical statuses:
- `idea`
- `researching`
- `ready`
- `blocked`
- `done`

A backlog item should stay here if scope, payoff, or boundaries are still unclear.

### Tasks
Use `TASKS.md` for work that is concrete enough to execute.

Typical statuses:
- `queued`
- `active`
- `blocked`
- `done`

If a task has a clear deliverable and next step, it belongs here.

Each task should have a folder:
- `/home/sebas/work/tasks/T-xxx/`

Minimum standard for a real task folder:
- `README.md`
- `STATE.md`
- `artifacts/` when durable outputs exist

Optional files when useful:
- `EVIDENCE.md`
- `DECISIONS.md`
- `TASKS.md` for local substeps
- `UPDATES.md` for chronological progress
- `scratch/` for disposable drafts/tmp notes

Meaning:
- `README.md`: stable task identity, goal, source, scope
- `STATE.md`: current status, done gate, reality constraints, next step, blockers, evidence pointers
- `artifacts/`: generated outputs, screenshots, logs, sample files, exported evidence

Root hygiene:
- docs at task root
- durable outputs in `artifacts/`
- low-value intermediate clutter in `scratch/`
- task-specific scripts only if worth keeping

Do not use task folders as the final home for durable project docs when those docs belong in a repo or control-plane doc tree.

### Done
Use `DONE.md` for concise durable completion history.

When a task is completed:
1. remove it from `TASKS.md`
2. add a short durable completion entry to `DONE.md`
3. keep any lasting deliverable in its proper repo/doc location

### Session todo
Use `todo` for the live plan inside the current chat/session.

Do not rely on `todo` as durable storage.

## Promotion rules

- vague or exploratory -> `BACKLOG.md`
- concrete and actionable -> `TASKS.md`
- completed -> `DONE.md`

If a backlog item gains a real deliverable and immediate next action, promote it to `TASKS.md`.

If a task loses clarity or becomes too fuzzy again, demote it back to `BACKLOG.md`.

## ID conventions

- backlog items: `BB-xxx`
- tasks: `T-xxx`
- done entries: `D-xxx`

Keep `source` links between them.

## Agent behavior

When starting work:
1. check `TASKS.md` for current actionable items
2. check `BACKLOG.md` if the request is still exploratory
3. lock intent if not explicit: objective, binary done gate, exclusions, and reality constraints
4. if interactive UI is available and intent is materially unclear, prefer the `questionnaire` tool to capture the kickoff frame in one pass
5. use or create the task folder if working on a `T-xxx` item
6. update the durable docs when task state changes materially

### Compact kickoff template

Use this when a task needs intent locked before execution.

- Objective:
- Done gate:
- Exclusions:
- Reality constraints:
- Validation plan:

Short guidance:
- `Objective`: real outcome, not activity
- `Done gate`: binary user-visible finish line
- `Exclusions`: what will not be handled now
- `Reality constraints`: backend truth, data truth, auth/env limits, or any condition that makes a feature fake vs real
- `Validation plan`: how the done gate will be proven

Ultra-compact variant:

```md
Objective: ...
Done: ...
Not doing: ...
Truth limits: ...
Prove by: ...
```

When creating a new concrete task:
1. add it to `TASKS.md`
2. create the task folder under `/home/sebas/work/tasks/T-xxx/`
3. create at least `README.md` and `STATE.md`
4. create `artifacts/` if outputs/evidence are expected
5. put working notes/artifacts there until a better permanent home exists
6. if useful, record the validation plan or done checklist in the task folder early

Helper:
- `bin/task-init T-xxx --goal "..." --source "..."`
- creates `README.md`, `STATE.md`, `artifacts/`, and `scratch/`

For deterministic phase-machine tasks:
- `bin/task-phase-init T-xxx --goal "..." --source "..." --repo /path/repo`
- creates phase-aware `STATE.md`, `EVIDENCE.md`, `artifacts/`, `scratch/`, and `artifacts/evidence.html`
- canonical human-readable state should include a clickable evidence link, not just local file paths

When completing work:
1. validate against the locked done gate, not just code changes
2. move durable completion summary to `DONE.md`
3. leave the lasting artifact in the correct repo/doc path
4. keep concise validation evidence or handoff notes when they will save future sessions
5. keep the task folder only if it still has useful notes/artifacts

## Repo-local subsystems

Repos can have their own task subsystems when useful.

Recommended pattern:
- global system stays the portfolio/control-plane layer
- repo-local system handles implementation detail for that repo

Suggested split:
- global `BACKLOG.md`: cross-project ideas, research, sequencing
- global `TASKS.md`: top-level actionable items that matter across sessions
- repo-local tracker: implementation plan, substeps, repo-specific notes

Example for `~/ballbox`:
- global task: `T-005 - Apply BB-002 patterns in Ballbox`
- repo-local doc: `~/ballbox/docs/tasks/T-005.md` or `~/ballbox/TASKS.md`
- repo-local items can break the global task into smaller work units

Rules for working together:
- global task stays short and outcome-oriented
- repo-local tracker holds implementation detail
- repo-local task IDs can be nested, e.g. `T-005.1`, `T-005.2`, or use a repo prefix
- always link repo-local work back to the global `source`
- if repo work becomes independently important across sessions, summarize it back into the global docs

Use repo-local systems when:
- a task has many implementation substeps
- the repo has its own cadence and context
- multiple chats/agents may touch the same repo work

Do not duplicate everything both globally and locally. Keep:
- global = what and why
- local = how


**Considering placeholder state**

I probably need to fix the placeholder state. The review focuses on truthfulness, and there may be bounded issues from not having enough evidence. The task mentions a loop smoke, so I’m thinking about including current proof of the placeholder state on evidence pages. However, the review suggests validating the truthfulness of the current state instead of just implementing it. We might want to change the state to needs_user_decision since it's tough to verify. I should check for any actual smoke proof in phase-run artifacts.

**Deciding on transitions**

I need to figure out how to transition the task since nothing has been validated yet. It seems I should either repair things or leave it up to the user’s decision. Since there's an existing issue with tasks being underdefined, I might update the state to reflect that reality. If there's a bounded issue, I could set it to repair and fill out relevant documentation. However, I need actual proof for claim validation, which I don’t have right now.

**Setting up the next steps**

It looks like there’s no clear user intent, so I need to create a concise frame for the task. The next step seems to be “repair state and evidence.” I’ll focus on editing the STATE and EVIDENCE records, along with the evidence.html file to accurately reflect the current status. Making these updates will help clarify things and get us moving forward effectively!

**Updating evidence documentation**

I'm considering an update for the evidence documentation, possibly noting that there's no proof yet. I think I should mention artifacts inspected in the evidence.html file and update the joinery page to include pointers to the state. It would be helpful to have inspectable files linked, so I could make evidence.html point to the STATE/EVIDENCE and add a note. I'll also look into editing both EVIDENCE.md and evidence.html for coherence.

## Validation notes
- TODO

## Artifacts
- Add links to screenshots, logs, exported text, or proof files.
- For complex bundles, keep T-995/artifacts/evidence.html as the main joinery page.

## Validation notes
- Reviewed README.md, STATE.md, EVIDENCE.md, and the phase-run metadata.
- Evidence page was placeholder before repair.
- No claim of pass made.

**Updating evidence page**

I need to update the evidence.html page to ensure it accurately reflects the content for the joinery section. I want to make sure that the information is truthful and clearly presented. This is about providing users with reliable data they can trust. I'll take some time to review the current content and see what adjustments are necessary to make it more straightforward. Accuracy matters!

**Fixing link paths**

I need to ensure that I make no other edits. I should update the evidence page link to check if the relative path is correct—from artifacts/evidence.html to ../artifacts/phase-runs. This path seems off because evidence.html is in the artifacts root, which means ../artifacts/... would lead back to artifacts/artifacts. I should adjust it to phase-runs/.. or ./phase-runs. It's a good catch that the current link is wrong, so I need to fix it!

**Mentioning repair phase**

I think I need to consider mentioning the next phase of repair. It’s important to be clear and concise about where things are going from here. This will help guide the user and set up expectations for what comes next. I want to ensure that the information is straightforward and easy to follow. Let's make it succinct while highlighting the upcoming steps in the process for clarity!

Done. Phase moved to `repair`.

Updated:
- `STATE.md`
- `EVIDENCE.md`
- `artifacts/evidence.html`

Truth now:
- frame was underdefined
- evidence page was placeholder
- no pass claimed
- evidence links are clickable and inspectable
