Overview\n\n**Creative North Star: \"The Instrument Panel\"**\n\nAn instrument panel is read, not admired. Every mark on it is calibrated, every\ncolor means one thing, and nothing is drawn that a pilot does not need at a\nglance under load. This tracker is the same: a maintainer scanning a list is\nunder mild time pressure and already knows the domain. The interface's entire\njob is to encode state legibly and then be silent.\n\nThe system is derived from Val Town's own production design system — read from\nits live stylesheet and shipped components, not invented — because the tracker\nis a guest in a Val Town val and must read as native to its host. Val Town's\nidentity is unusually disciplined: **surfaces are pure white or pure black, all\nstructure is carried by slate hairlines, and the character lives entirely in the\ntype.** There is no bespoke brand color; the accent is the sky ramp, spent\nalmost nowhere. That restraint is not an absence of design — it _is_ the design,\nand it maps exactly onto this product's \"precise, quiet, fast.\"\n\nThis system explicitly rejects the **generic dark-SaaS** costume the tracker\ncurrently wears: blue-tinted charcoal (`#0f1115`), a system font stack, and a\nsaturated blue button. It rejects **GitHub cosplay** — GitHub's structure is the\nfamiliar mental model and stays, but its skin is not ours. It rejects\n**dashboard theater** (metric tiles, hero numbers) and **decorative color**.\n\n**Key Characteristics:**\n\n- Achromatic canvas; color is reserved for encoded state\n- Structure from 1px slate hairlines, never from fills, cards, or shadows\n- Monospace for every machine fact (numbers, handles, times, hex)\n- Dual-scheme by `prefers-color-scheme` — the tracker follows its host\n- Flat at rest; depth is a lie a tool doesn't need\n\n## 2. Colors: The Instrument Palette\n\nAn achromatic canvas with a single sky signal and three encoded states. Every\nnon-neutral pixel either encodes lifecycle state or belongs to a user-authored\nlabel color.\n\nThe tracker renders in **both schemes**, switched by `prefers-color-scheme`, so\nit matches whatever its host val is showing. Values are given light / dark.\n\n### Primary\n\n- **Sky Signal** (#0069a8 light / #00bcff dark): The only accent. Links, the\n primary button, the active tab underline. Verified 5.86:1 on white and 9.64:1\n on black. Val Town's own accent ramp — nothing here is invented.\n- **Sky Focus** (#74d4ff): Focus rings only, at 2px, in both schemes. Lifted\n directly from Val Town's `focus-visible:ring-2 ring-sky-300`.\n\n### Secondary\n\n- **Signal Green** (#007a55 light / #00d492 dark): The open state. Verified\n 5.36:1 and 10.83:1.\n- **Signal Red** (#c10007 light / #ff6467 dark): Destructive actions and the\n Blocked pill. Verified 6.42:1 and 7.27:1.\n\n### Neutral\n\n- **Canvas** (#ffffff / #000000): The page. True white, true black — never a\n tinted charcoal. This is the single most important departure from the current\n palette.\n- **Sunken** (#f1f5f9 / #0f172b): The only recessed surface — count pills, input\n fills, table zebra if ever needed. Not a card.\n- **Rule** (#e2e8f0 / #314158): Every hairline, divider, and border. This token\n does the work that fills and shadows do in lesser systems.\n- **Ink** (#000000 / #ffffff): Primary text. 21:1.\n- **Muted** (#45556c / #90a1b9): Meta lines, timestamps, secondary text.\n Verified 7.58:1 and 7.98:1 — deliberately far above the 4.5:1 floor, because\n the meta line is scanned, not read.\n\n### Named Rules\n\n**The Encoded Color Rule.** Color is data. If a colored pixel does not encode\nlifecycle state (open, closed, blocked, danger) or render a user's own label\ncolor, it is prohibited. There is no decorative color in this system.\n\n**The Achromatic Canvas Rule.** The page background is `#ffffff` or `#000000`.\nNever a tinted near-black, never a warm off-white, never `#0f1115`. If you can\nname the background's hue, it is wrong.\n\n**The Hairline Rule.** Structure is a 1px Rule-colored line. Any time you reach\nfor a fill, a shadow, or a card to separate two regions, use a hairline instead.\n\n## 3. Typography\n\n- **Body / UI Font:** IBM Plex Sans (with `-apple-system, sans-serif`)\n- **Prose Font:** iA Writer Quattro (with IBM Plex Sans fallback)\n- **Mono Font:** iA Writer Mono (with `ui-monospace, Menlo, monospace`)\n\nAll three are Val Town's own faces and all are open-licensed (SIL OFL), so they\ncan be self-hosted or CDN-loaded without a licensing problem. **This is the\nsingle highest-leverage change available**: the tracker currently uses a bare\n`font-sans` system stack, which is most of why it reads as generic.\n\n**Character:** IBM Plex Sans is a technical humanist face drawn for IBM's\nengineering documentation — precise without being cold, and legible at 12–14px\nwhere this UI lives. Pairing it with iA Writer Mono is a contrast-axis pairing\n(humanist sans + slab-ish mono), not two similar sans faces. Quattro is Plex's\nnatural prose sibling and carries issue bodies.\n\n### Hierarchy\n\n- **Title** (600, 16px, 1.4): Issue titles in list rows and the detail heading.\n The only bold thing on a row.\n- **Body** (400, 14px, 1.6): Interface text, form labels, buttons.\n- **Prose** (400, 14px/1.7, iA Writer Quattro): Issue and comment bodies only.\n Cap at 65–75ch.\n- **Label** (500, 12px): Buttons, form field labels, tabs.\n- **Meta** (400, 12px, iA Writer Mono): Issue numbers, handles, timestamps, hex\n values, counts.\n- **Badge** (700, 10px, 0.1em tracking, uppercase): Role badges and the val-type\n badge shape only.\n\n### Named Rules\n\n**The Machine Facts Rule.** Anything a machine produced or that a human reads as\na token — `#42`, `@nbbaier`, `3d ago`, `#d73a4a` — is set in mono. Anything a\nhuman wrote is set in sans. This single rule does most of the work of making the\nUI feel precise, and it is free.\n\n**The One Bold Rule.** Exactly one element per list row is semibold: the title.\nIf a second thing on the row is bold, the row has no hierarchy.\n\n**The Badge Containment Rule.** The `10px / 700 / uppercase / tracked` treatment\nis Val Town's val-type badge and is permitted **only** as a badge on a discrete\nobject. Using it as a section eyebrow above headings is forbidden — that is the\nsaturated AI kicker trope, not brand voice.\n\n## 4. Elevation\n\n**This system has no shadows.** Val Town's own components ship essentially flat:\ntheir entire shadow vocabulary is a 1px hairline ring at 5% black, which is a\nborder wearing a costume. Depth is conveyed by three things only: a hairline, a\nsunken fill, and whitespace.\n\nThis is a deliberate match to the North Star. An instrument panel is a flat\nsurface with marks on it. Lifting things off the page implies a physical\nmetaphor this product does not have.\n\n### Shadow Vocabulary\n\nNone. The only permitted `box-shadow` in the system is the focus ring:\n\n- **Focus ring** (`box-shadow: 0 0 0 2px #74d4ff`): The single exception. Never\n decorative, always a response to keyboard state.\n\n### Named Rules\n\n**The Flat-Forever Rule.** Surfaces are flat at rest and flat on hover. There is\nno `translateY(-2px)`, no lifting card, no ambient glow. Hover changes color, or\nnothing.\n\n**The No-Card Rule.** The issue list is a stack of rows separated by hairlines\ninside one bordered panel — it is not a grid of cards, and rows are not cards.\nNested cards are always wrong. If you are about to give something a background,\na border, _and_ padding, you are building a card; stop.\n\n## 5. Components\n\n### Buttons\n\n- **Shape:** Gently rounded (8px), 32px tall — Val Town's `h-8 px-2 rounded-lg`\n control height, not the current 40px.\n- **Primary:** Sky Signal fill (#0069a8) with white text; in dark, Sky Signal\n (#00bcff) with **black** text. The dark-mode inversion is required — white on\n #00bcff is illegible, and white on the current #3d7bf0 is already 3.97:1,\n which is a real defect this system fixes.\n- **Hover / Focus:** Hover shifts one step along the sky ramp. Focus is the 2px\n #74d4ff ring. No transform, no shadow.\n- **Ghost:** Transparent fill, Rule-colored 1px border, Ink text. This is the\n default button; primary is rare.\n- **Danger:** Transparent fill, Signal Red text and border. Fills red only on\n hover.\n\n### Chips\n\n- **Label chip:** Pill (`rounded-full`), 1px border in the label's own stored\n color, text in that color, transparent fill. User-authored color is sacred —\n it is the one place the palette yields.\n- **Count pill:** Sunken fill, Muted text, `rounded-full`, 20px tall, mono. This\n is Val Town's `CountBadge` verbatim: `text-xs px-2 h-5 rounded-full`.\n- **Blocked pill / Status pill:** Tinted pair — state color as text on a low-\n chroma tint of its own hue, never a saturated fill with white text. Pair with\n an icon so state never rides on color alone.\n\n### Cards / Containers\n\nThere are no cards. There is **one panel**: a Rule-bordered container with 8px\ncorners holding hairline-separated rows.\n\n- **Corner Style:** 8px on the panel; rows inside are square.\n- **Background:** Canvas. The panel is not tinted.\n- **Shadow Strategy:** None. See Elevation.\n- **Border:** 1px Rule.\n- **Internal Padding:** 12px vertical, 16px horizontal per row.\n\n### Inputs / Fields\n\n- **Style:** Canvas fill, 1px Rule border, 8px radius, 32px tall (search bar may\n be 40px as the page's one prominent control). Mirrors Val Town's Input.\n- **Focus:** 2px #74d4ff ring, border shifts to Sky Signal. Never remove the\n outline without replacing it — the zero-JS commitment makes keyboard flow a\n first-class path.\n- **Error:** Signal Red border plus text; never color alone.\n\n### Navigation\n\n- **Style:** 64px bar, Canvas background (not a tinted panel), separated from\n the page by a single Rule hairline.\n- **Tabs:** Muted label text; active is Ink with a 2px Sky Signal underline.\n Hover moves Muted → Ink.\n- **Avatar:** 24px circle, Sunken fill, Muted bold uppercase initial — Val\n Town's own `size-6 rounded-full` avatar fallback.\n- **Mobile:** The bar collapses to tabs plus avatar; \"view source\" drops first.\n\n### Issue Row (signature component)\n\nThe densest, most-read object in the product; it earns the most care. Anatomy,\nleft to right: state icon (encoded color + shape), then a stacked block of\nsemibold Title followed by a mono Meta line\n(`#42 · @handle opened 3d ago ·\nupdated 2h ago`), with label chips trailing the\ntitle and a mono comment count right-aligned. Separated from its neighbors by a\nhairline, not a gap. Hover tints the row Sunken — nothing else moves.\n\n## 6. Do's and Don'ts\n\n### Do:\n\n- **Do** set the canvas to `#ffffff` / `#000000`. True white, true black.\n- **Do** load IBM Plex Sans and iA Writer Mono. The system font stack is the\n single biggest reason this UI reads as generic.\n- **Do** set every machine fact — `#42`, `@nbbaier`, `3d ago`, `#d73a4a` — in\n mono, per **The Machine Facts Rule**.\n- **Do** carry all structure on 1px Rule hairlines, per **The Hairline Rule**.\n- **Do** pair every state color with an icon or text, so state never rides on\n color alone.\n- **Do** use a 2px `#74d4ff` focus ring on every interactive element. Zero-JS\n means keyboard and form navigation is the primary path, not an edge case.\n- **Do** invert the primary button's text to black in dark mode.\n- **Do** honor `prefers-color-scheme` — per PRODUCT.md, _\"it embeds politely\"_;\n a dark-only tracker in a light host val is a rude guest.\n\n### Don't:\n\n- **Don't** use blue-tinted charcoal (`#0f1115`, `#181b22`, `#1f232c`) or any\n named-hue background. That is the **generic dark-SaaS** costume PRODUCT.md\n names as an anti-reference, and it is the specific thing that makes this UI\n \"not look good.\"\n- **Don't** reach for **GitHub cosplay** — GitHub's greens, its blue-tinted\n charcoal, or its chrome as a shortcut to looking legitimate. Borrow the\n structure; never the skin.\n- **Don't** add **dashboard theater**: metric tiles, hero numbers, gradient\n accents, card grids. The PRD deleted the metric tiles once; they do not come\n back in another shape.\n- **Don't** introduce **decorative color**. If a colored pixel encodes nothing,\n delete it.\n- **Don't** build cards. One panel, hairline rows. Nested cards are always\n wrong.\n- **Don't** add shadows, glassmorphism, gradient text, or `border-left` accent\n stripes.\n- **Don't** use the `10px uppercase tracked` badge treatment as a section\n eyebrow. Badges label objects; they do not label sections.\n- **Don't** put white text on a saturated blue fill below 4.5:1 — the current\n `#3d7bf0` button is 3.97:1 and is a live defect.\n- **Don't** animate layout properties or lift anything on hover. **The\n Flat-Forever Rule** holds.\n- **Don't** let a second element on an issue row go bold. One bold thing: the\n

Successful responses are either a single object, an\narray, or a small acknowledgement object (`{\"deleted\": id}` /\n`{\"updated\": id}`); error responses always have the shape:\n\n```json\n{ \"error\": \"human-readable message\" }\n```\n\n### Label\n\n```ts\n{\n id: number;\n name: string;\n color: string; // six lowercase hex characters, no leading \"#\"\n created_at: number; // ms since epoch\n updated_at: number;\n}\n```\n\n### IssueReference\n\nThe compact shape used inside `blockers` and `blocks`.\n\n```ts\n{\n id: number;\n title: string;\n status: \"open\" | \"closed\";\n state_reason: \"completed\" | \"not_planned\" | \"duplicate\" | \"reopened\" | null;\n}\n```\n\n### Issue\n\n```ts\n{\n id: number;\n title: string;\n body: string; // markdown, verbatim (not trimmed)\n status: \"open\" | \"closed\";\n state_reason: \"completed\" | \"not_planned\" | \"duplicate\" | \"reopened\" | null;\n created_at: number;\n updated_at: number; // last activity: own edits, comments, or association changes\n creator: string | null; // Val Town handle, derived from the issue's creation event\n labels: Label[];\n assignees: string[]; // Val Town handles, no \"@\" prefix\n blockers: IssueReference[];\n blocks: IssueReference[];\n blocked: boolean; // true iff at least one blocker is still \"open\"\n}\n```\n\n`GET /api/issues/:id` returns an `Issue` plus a `comments` field\n(`comments: Comment[]`); no other endpoint includes `comments`.\n\n### Comment\n\n```ts\n{\n id: number;\n issue_id: number;\n body: string; // markdown, verbatim\n created_at: number;\n updated_at: number;\n author: string | null; // Val Town handle, derived from the comment's creation event\n}\n```\n\n### Event\n\n```ts\n{\n id: number;\n event_type:\n | \"issue.created\" | \"issue.updated\" | \"issue.deleted\"\n | \"comment.created\" | \"comment.updated\" | \"comment.deleted\"\n | \"label.created\" | \"label.updated\" | \"label.deleted\";\n entity_id: number; // the issue/comment/label id the event is about\n actor: string;\n data: unknown; // grammar below\n event_timestamp: number;\n}\n```\n\n`GET /api/issues/:id/events` returns `Event[]` in append order.\n\n## Event data grammar\n\nEvents are the source of truth for provenance and history; live tables hold only\ncurrent state.\n\n- **Boundary events (`*.created`, `*.deleted`) snapshot full state.** The `data`\n field is the entity's complete state at that moment — a hard-deleted row\n leaves a full tombstone:\n - `issue.created` / `issue.deleted` data:\n `{id, title, body, status, state_reason, created_at, updated_at}`\n - `comment.created` / `comment.deleted` data:\n `{id, issue_id, body, created_at, updated_at}` (no `author` — that is always\n derived from the surrounding event, never stored in the payload)\n - `label.created` / `label.deleted` data:\n `{id, name, color, created_at, updated_at}`\n- **`*.updated` events carry a single field delta:**\n `{update_target, from, to}`.\n - For `issue.updated`, `update_target` is one of `title`, `body`, `status`,\n `state_reason`, `label`, `assignee`, `blocks`, `blocked_by`. Associations\n (`label`, `assignee`, `blocks`, `blocked_by`) use **`null ↔ value`**\n (`from: null` = added, `to: null` = removed). A block edge writes exactly\n one event, on the acting issue (the one named in the endpoint path).\n - For `comment.updated`, `update_target` is `\"body\"`.\n - For `label.updated`, `update_target` is `\"name\"` or `\"color\"`.\n - One event per changed field: closing an issue with a new reason emits two\n `issue.updated` events (`status` and `state_reason`), sharing one actor and\n timestamp.\n\n## Status codes\n\n| Status | Meaning |\n| ------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |\n| `200` | Read succeeded, or a mutation applied and the endpoint returns the resulting state. |\n| `201` | An issue, comment, or label was created. |\n| `400` | The request is malformed: invalid `:id`, invalid `status` filter, invalid close `reason`, invalid label `color`, a missing required scalar field (`title`; `name`/`color`; comment `body`), or a collection field (`label_ids`, `add`, `remove`, `assignees`) that isn't shaped as required — see below. |\n| `401` | A write was attempted with a missing or incorrect bearer token. |\n| `403` | A write was attempted but `ISSUE_TRACKER_API_KEY` isn't configured, so writes are disabled entirely. |\n| `404` | The issue, comment, or label named by `:id` — or referenced by an ID inside `label_ids`/`add`/`remove` — does not exist. |\n| `409` | The write conflicts with an existing invariant: a blocking edge would create a cycle (including a self-edge), or a label `name` collides with an existing label. |\n\n## Strict collection validation\n\n`label_ids`, and the `add`/`remove` fields on the labels and blocks/blocked-by\nendpoints, are validated as a whole, not filtered element by element:\n\n- **Absent** — treated as an empty operation (no IDs added or removed).\n- **Present** — must be an array where every element is a positive integer\n (`Number.isInteger(x) && x > 0`). Any other shape (not an array, a\n non-integer, zero, a negative number, a string, etc.) rejects the entire\n request with `400`; nothing is applied.\n- Each ID that passes shape validation must still reference an existing label or\n issue, or the request fails with `404`.\n\n`assignees`, and the `add`/`remove` fields on the assignees endpoint, follow the\nsame absent-is-empty / present-is-all-or-nothing rule, but for handles:\n\n- **Present** — must be an array of non-empty strings after trimming and\n stripping a leading `@`. Any other shape rejects the request with `400`.\n- Handles are not entities (no lookup table), so there is no `404` for an\n unrecognized assignee — any well-shaped handle is accepted.\n\n## Endpoints\n\n| Method and path | Body / query | Success |\n| --------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |\n| `GET /api/issues` | `?status=open\\|closed&label=&assignee=&search=` | `200` `Issue[]`. `400` if `status` is present and not `open`/`closed`. |\n| `POST /api/issues` | `{title, body?, label_ids?: number[], assignees?: string[], actor?}` | `201` `Issue`. `400` missing `title` or malformed `label_ids`/`assignees`. `404` if a `label_ids` entry doesn't exist. |\n| `GET /api/issues/:id` | — | `200` `Issue & {comments: Comment[]}`. `400` invalid id. `404` missing issue. |\n| `PATCH /api/issues/:id` | `{title?, body?, actor?}` | `200` updated `Issue`. `400` invalid id. `404` missing issue. |\n| `DELETE /api/issues/:id` | `{actor?}` | `200` `{deleted: id}`. `400` invalid id. `404` missing issue. |\n| `POST /api/issues/:id/close` | `{reason?: \"completed\" \\| \"not_planned\" \\| \"duplicate\", comment?, actor?}` | `200` updated `Issue`; reason defaults to `completed`. `400` invalid id/reason. `404` missing issue. |\n| `POST /api/issues/:id/reopen` | `{actor?}` | `200` updated `Issue` with `state_reason: \"reopened\"`. `400` invalid id. `404` missing issue. |\n| `POST /api/issues/:id/labels` | `{add?: number[], remove?: number[], actor?}` | `200` updated `Issue`. `400` invalid id or malformed `add`/`remove`. `404` missing issue or a missing label id. |\n| `POST /api/issues/:id/assignees` | `{add?: string[], remove?: string[], actor?}` | `200` updated `Issue`. `400` invalid id or malformed `add`/`remove`. `404` missing issue. |\n| `POST /api/issues/:id/blocks` | `{add?: number[], remove?: number[], actor?}` | `200` updated `Issue`. `400` invalid id or malformed `add`/`remove`. `404` missing issue or referenced issue id. `409` cycle or self-edge. |\n| `POST /api/issues/:id/blocked-by` | `{add?: number[], remove?: number[], actor?}` | Same as `/blocks`, opposite edge direction. |\n| `POST /api/issues/:id/comments` | `{body, actor?}` | `201` `Comment`. `400` invalid id or missing `body`. `404` missing issue. |\n| `PATCH /api/comments/:id` | `{body, actor?}` | `200` `{updated: id}`. `400` invalid id or missing `body`. `404` missing comment. |\n| `DELETE /api/comments/:id` | `{actor?}` | `200` `{deleted: id}`. `400` invalid id. `404` missing comment. |\n| `GET /api/issues/:id/events` | — | `200` `Event[]` in append order. `400` invalid id. `404` missing issue. |\n| `GET /api/labels` | — | `200` `Label[]`. |\n| `POST /api/labels` | `{name, color, actor?}` | `201` `Label` (`color` is hex, with or without `#`). `400` missing `name`/`color` or invalid `color`. `409` `name` already in use. |\n| `PATCH /api/labels/:id` | `{name?, color?, actor?}` | `200` updated `Label`. `400` invalid id or `color`. `404` missing label. `409` renaming to an in-use `name`. |\n| `DELETE /api/labels/:id` | `{actor?}` | `200` `{deleted: id}`. `400` invalid id. `404` missing label. |\n\nAll write routes additionally return `401` for a missing/incorrect bearer token,\nand `403` if `ISSUE_TRACKER_API_KEY` is unset — checked before any body or id\nvalidation.\n\n## Triage labels\n\nLabels are curated entities, not free-text arrays.

Governed by `CONTEXT.md` + ADRs\n0001–0004.\n\nAll tickets are `ready-for-agent` — agent-grabbable by construction.\n\n## Implementation checklist\n\n- [x] Ticket 1 — core schema reshape and issue lifecycle\n- [x] Ticket 2 — append-only events and lifecycle provenance\n- [x] Ticket 3 — labels, assignees, blocking, comments, events, and touch rules\n- [x] Ticket 4 — idempotent old-schema migration\n- [x] Ticket 5 — final JSON API convention, consumer cleanup, and verification\n\nWork the **frontier**: any ticket whose blockers are all done. Order here is\ndependency order (blockers first): 1 → 2 → 3 → then 4 and 5 in parallel.\n\n> Migration caveat: tickets 1–3 are correct against _fresh_ databases. The ~3\n> existing deployments are only safe to run once ticket 4 (migration) lands,\n> since `initSchema` runs against live data every request. Deploy the set at the\n> end.\n\n## 1. Core schema reshape + issue lifecycle\n\nStatus: ready-for-agent\n\n**What to build:** Fresh-install issue schema on the new model — priority\nremoved entirely; `status` collapses to `open`/`closed`; a nullable\n`state_reason` (`completed`/`not_planned`/`duplicate`/`reopened`) guarded by a\n`CHECK` constraint against status; the issue body field renamed from\n`description` to `body`. The create / close / reopen operations auto-manage\n`state_reason` (create → null; close → chosen reason, default `completed`;\nreopen → `reopened`). The JSON API and HTML UI are reconciled to the new `Issue`\nshape, and the schema knowledge those two consumers currently duplicate\n(status/priority constants, label parse/serialize) is pulled into the\ndata-access layer as a prefactor so later tickets change one place. No migration\nof existing data in this ticket. _Demoable: create an issue, close it as\nnot_planned, reopen it — through both the API and the UI._\n\n**Blocked by:** None — can start immediately.\n\n## 2. Events log foundation + issue lifecycle events\n\nStatus: ready-for-agent\n\n**What to build:** The single append-only events table (`id`, `event_type`,\n`entity_id`, `actor`, `data`, `event_timestamp`) and the emit helper, wired into\nthe issue lifecycle from ticket 1. `*.created` and `*.deleted` carry full state\nsnapshots; `*.updated` carries `{ update_target, from, to }`. One event per\nchanged field, so closing emits two events (`status` and `state_reason`) sharing\nan actor and timestamp. _Demoable: close an issue and observe two events with\nthe acting handle and correct payloads._\n\n**Blocked by:** 1\n\n## 3. Associations: labels + assignees + blocking\n\nStatus: ready-for-agent\n\n**What to build:** All three issue relationships, end-to-end (schema +\noperations + API\n\n- UI + events + touch rule):\n\n* **Labels** — a curated Label entity (`name`, `color`), applied via a bare\n issue↔label join; a default set (`bug`, `enhancement`, `documentation`,\n `question`, `duplicate`) seeded exactly once at table creation and never\n re-seeded; apply/remove; label rename/recolour/delete (deleting an in-use\n label cascades its join rows away).\n* **Assignees** — a set of Val Town users via a bare issue↔handle join;\n add/remove; an \"assigned to me\" query.\n* **Blocking** — a directed `blocker → blocked` edge stored once; insert\n rejected if the target can already reach the source (strict DAG — self,\n reciprocal, and longer cycles all refused); remove; \"blocked\" derived (blocked\n while any blocker is still open) and never stored, and never gating close.\n\nEvery mutation emits its events — label ops as `label.*` plus `issue.updated`\nwith `update_target: label` using `null ↔ value`; assignee and block changes as\n`issue.updated` with `update_target` ∈ {assignee, blocks, blocked_by},\n`null ↔ value`; a block edge writes one event on the acting issue. Every\nassociation change also touches the parent issue's `updated_at`.\n\n_(Largest ticket — if it overflows a single context window at execution time,\nsplit back into labels / assignees / blocking, each blocked by 1 and 2.)_\n\n**Blocked by:** 1, 2\n\n## 4. Migration for existing deployments\n\nStatus: ready-for-agent\n\n**What to build:** One idempotent migration routine (living in the schema-init\npath, safe to run every request) that brings the ~3 existing deployments onto\nthe final schema: remap any `in_progress` issue to `open`; drop priority; expose\nthe old `description` as `body`; lift each existing JSON `labels` array into the\nLabel entities and issue↔label join (creating labels as needed); move any\nexisting single `assignee` into the assignee join; and backfill a synthetic\n`*.created` event (and any required state) for existing rows so no entity is\nleft without provenance. Running it twice is a no-op.\n\n**Blocked by:** 1, 2, 3\n\n## 5. Rewrite JSON API convention doc + final cleanup\n\nStatus: ready-for-agent\n\n**What to build:** Rewrite `docs/issue-tracker-valtown.md` to the new schema and\nendpoint surface (no priority, two statuses, `state_reason` on close/reopen, and\nthe label / assignee / block operations), replacing the outdated convention it\ndocuments today. Remove any remaining old-schema constants or dead code paths in\nthe consumers. Done last so the doc describes the final API exactly once.\n\n**Blocked by:** 3\n",[],[333,560,561,552],"issues","richer-data-model","a737b999-a091-40e2-b4b3-e3065d4580e1","certification.md","1d471d5a-7c96-11f1-a281-1607ee4eb77e",299,["D",1784073502601],"# Certification: richer-data-model remediation pass\n\nDate: 2026-07-10 Verdict: **certified complete** (independent recertification\naudit)\n\nAfter the five implementation tickets in `tickets.md` landed, a remediation pass\nran as five one-shot agent prompts (formerly in `agent-prompts/`, deleted after\nthis certification). What each fixed:\n\n1. **SQLite transaction contract** — `db.ts` drives every multi-statement write\n through `client.transaction(\"write\")` with explicit commit/rollback, never\n top-level `batch()`. The resolved adapter\n (`npm:@tursodatabase/serverless@1.2.3/compat`) was read at source and its\n top-level `batch()` confirmed broken for this purpose: it ignores the mode\n argument and drops bound args. Proven by tests: a batch-throwing client,\n forced mid-transaction failure rollback, and entity-ID (not event-ID) return\n values.\n2. **Comment UI** — the comment edit control is a `

` that round-trips\n   multiline markdown through the real Hono form routes; bodies render as\n   escaped JSX text with `whitespace-pre-wrap` (no HTML rendering). Control\n   visibility fixed via a maintainer-only `canModerateComments` prop on\n   `IssueDetailPage`: maintainers and the comment author see edit/delete\n   controls; a non-author issue creator does not. Server-side checks remain the\n   enforcement layer and the UI mirrors them exactly.\n3. **API/docs parity** — strict all-or-nothing validation for collection fields\n   (`label_ids`/`add`/`remove`/`assignees`: absent = empty operation,\n   present-but-malformed = 400); 400 for an invalid `status` filter; 404\n   existence guards on every mutation route; a small typed `HttpError`\n   (400/404/409) in `db.ts` replacing the old map-everything-to-409 handler;\n   `docs/issue-tracker-valtown.md` rewritten with complete response shapes, the\n   event-data grammar, the `{\"error\": \"...\"}` convention, a status-code table,\n   and exact per-route responses matching `api.ts` route-by-route.\n4. **Check policy** — repository reality uses Deno's built-in formatter via\n   `deno.json`; `.vt/` and `.claude/` are excluded from formatting; canonical\n   commands are the `deno.json` tasks `fmt` / `lint` / `typecheck` / `test` /\n   `check`; README Development documents the same commands, and `check` uses the\n   non-mutating `deno fmt --check` gate.\n5. **Recertification** — independent audit rebuilt the requirement matrix for\n   all five tickets against the PRD, re-ran all checks (21/21 tests), compared\n   every API route against the convention doc (18 route/status combinations),\n   and repeated the stale-schema scan: no live use of priority, `in_progress`,\n   `description`, JSON-label storage, single-assignee storage, `*_by` columns,\n   or a stored comment `author` column (`Comment.author` is derived from\n   `comment.created` events via JOIN, per ADR 0003/0004). The only old- schema\n   references are the migration reader in `db.ts` and legacy-fixture SQL in\n   `db_test.ts`, by design.\n\n## Caveats\n\n- Nothing was deployed. The adapter-contract proof is static (reading the\n  resolved dependency's source), not a live round-trip against Val Town's scoped\n  SQLite. Live proof requires deploying and exercising one transactional write.\n",[],[333,560,561,563],"85c72af1-cc92-4979-a7a5-bac2e38e7689","PRD.md","eebd1596-7bf2-11f1-ab8e-1607ee4eb77e",174,["D",1783653142818],"# Spec: Richer data model for val-issue-tracker\n\nStatus: ready-for-agent\n\n> Synthesised from a grilling + domain-modeling session. Vocabulary follows\n> `CONTEXT.md`; decisions are governed by ADRs 0001–0004. This is a breaking\n> schema change to the tracker's own data model, plus the migration to get the\n> ~3 existing deployments onto it.\n\n## Problem Statement\n\nThe tracker's current data model carries fields the maintainer doesn't use and\ncan't represent the relationships they actually want. Priority is dead weight.\nStatus has a middle `in_progress` state that isn't wanted, yet there's no way to\nsay _why_ something was closed (done vs. abandoned). Labels are a JSON-array\nstring matched with `LIKE`, so they can't have colour, be renamed in one place,\nor be queried cleanly. There's no way to express that one issue blocks another.\nThere is no history: once a label is removed or an assignee dropped, the fact\nthat it was ever there is gone, and there's no record of who changed what. The\nmaintainer wants a GitHub-flavoured model that captures these relationships and\na full audit trail.\n\n## Solution\n\nReshape the tracker's schema to mirror GitHub's issue model where it earns its\nkeep, and add first-class structure for the things the maintainer actually uses:\n\n- Drop priority entirely and collapse status to `open` / `closed`, with a\n  nullable `state_reason` (`completed` / `not_planned` / `duplicate` /\n  `reopened`) carrying the nuance — so \"closed as done\" and \"closed as not\n  planned\" are distinguishable.\n- Promote labels from a JSON string to curated **Label** entities (name +\n  colour), applied to issues through a join, seeded with a small default set on\n  first install.\n- Make assignees a _set_ of Val Town users via a join, instead of a single\n  string.\n- Add directed **blocking relationships** between issues, kept as a strict DAG,\n  with \"blocked\" derived (an issue is blocked while any blocker is still open).\n- Record every change in a single append-only **events** log — the source of\n  truth for provenance (\"who did what, when\") and full state history, from which\n  auditability is derived. Live tables hold only current state.\n- Treat issue and comment bodies as markdown (a rendering contract; no storage\n  change).\n\nIdentity throughout is the Val Town handle — there is no local users table.\n\n## User Stories\n\n1. As a maintainer, I want priority removed from issues, so that the model\n   reflects that I never triage by priority.\n2. As a maintainer, I want status to be exactly `open` or `closed`, so that\n   there is no unwanted intermediate state to maintain.\n3. As a maintainer, I want to close an issue as `completed`, so that I can\n   record that the work was actually done.\n4. As a maintainer, I want to close an issue as `not_planned`, so that I can\n   record that I abandoned it rather than finished it.\n5. As a maintainer, I want to close an issue as `duplicate`, so that I can\n   record that it was already tracked elsewhere.\n6. As a maintainer, I want reopening an issue to mark its reason as `reopened`,\n   so that a reopened issue is distinguishable from one that was never closed.\n7. As a maintainer, I want the system to refuse an incoherent status/reason pair\n   (e.g. open + completed), so that the data can never represent an impossible\n   state.\n8. As a maintainer, I want `state_reason` to be set automatically by the\n   close/reopen/create actions, so that I can't forget to keep it consistent\n   with status.\n9. As a maintainer, I want labels to be real entities with names and colours, so\n   that I can see and manage a consistent taxonomy.\n10. As a maintainer, I want to apply an existing label to an issue by picking\n    it, so that typos can't spawn phantom labels.\n11. As a maintainer, I want to remove a label from an issue, so that the tag set\n    stays accurate.\n12. As a maintainer, I want a fresh install to come with a default set of labels\n    (`bug`, `enhancement`, `documentation`, `question`, `duplicate`), so that\n    the tracker is usable immediately.\n13. As a maintainer, I want labels I delete to stay deleted across restarts, so\n    that the default set doesn't resurrect itself on the next request.\n14. As a maintainer, I want to delete a label that is currently applied to\n    issues, so that retiring a tag just removes it everywhere.\n15. As a maintainer, I want to rename or recolour a label in one place, so that\n    every issue carrying it updates at once.\n16. As a maintainer, I want an issue to have zero or more assignees, so that\n    more than one Val Town user can own it.\n17. As a maintainer, I want to add and remove assignees on an issue, so that\n    ownership can change over time.\n18. As a maintainer, I want to ask \"what is assigned to me?\", so that I can find\n    my work without scanning every issue.\n19. As a maintainer, I want to declare that one issue blocks another, so that I\n    can express dependencies.\n20. As a maintainer, I want to view an issue's blockers and the issues it\n    blocks, so that I understand its dependency context from either direction.\n21. As a maintainer, I want an issue to show as blocked while any of its\n    blockers is still open, so that blocked-ness is always accurate without my\n    maintaining a flag.\n22. As a maintainer, I want closing a blocker to automatically unblock its\n    dependents, so that the state stays correct for free.\n23. As a maintainer, I want to still be able to close a blocked issue, so that\n    being blocked is informational and never traps me.\n24. As a maintainer, I want the system to reject an issue blocking itself, so\n    that nonsensical edges can't exist.\n25. As a maintainer, I want the system to reject any edge that would create a\n    cycle (direct or longer), so that the dependency graph stays a coherent DAG.\n26. As a maintainer, I want to remove a blocking relationship, so that I can\n    correct a dependency I no longer want.\n27. As a maintainer, I want issue and comment bodies treated as markdown, so\n    that formatting is preserved for later rendering.\n28. As a maintainer, I want to edit an issue's title and body, so that I can\n    correct or refine it after creation.\n29. As a maintainer, I want to edit a comment, so that I can fix mistakes in my\n    notes.\n30. As a maintainer, I want to delete a comment, so that I can remove notes that\n    no longer belong.\n31. As an auditor, I want every create, update, and delete recorded as an event\n    with the actor and timestamp, so that I can reconstruct who changed what and\n    when.\n32. As an auditor, I want each field change recorded with its before and after\n    value, so that I can see the full history of an issue's state.\n33. As an auditor, I want label applications, assignments, and block edges\n    recorded as events, so that removals are visible even though the\n    current-state row is gone.\n34. As an auditor, I want a deleted entity's final state captured in its\n    deletion event, so that a hard delete still leaves a complete record of what\n    was lost.\n35. As an auditor, I want a created entity's initial state captured in its\n    creation event, so that history can be replayed forward from a\n    self-contained starting point.\n36. As an auditor, I want to reconstruct an entity's state at any past point, so\n    that I can answer \"what did this look like last week?\".\n37. As a host-val developer, I want the tracker to keep using prefixed table\n    names in my scoped database, so that it never collides with my own tables.\n38. As a host-val developer, I want a friendly sequential issue number, so that\n    I can refer to issues as `#N` without an extra opaque id.\n39. As an existing deployment owner, I want my current issues migrated onto the\n    new schema, so that I lose no data when upgrading.\n40. As an existing deployment owner, I want any `in_progress` issue moved to\n    `open` during migration, so that no issue is stranded in a removed state.\n41. As an existing deployment owner, I want my current JSON labels lifted into\n    the new label and join tables, so that existing tags survive the change.\n42. As an existing deployment owner, I want existing rows to get a synthetic\n    creation event on migration, so that no entity is left with no provenance.\n43. As an agent, I want the JSON API to reflect the new schema (no priority, two\n    statuses, `state_reason`, label/assignee/block operations), so that\n    non-interactive callers drive the new model correctly.\n44. As an agent, I want the API convention doc updated to the new schema, so\n    that I'm not working from the outdated contract.\n45. As a maintainer, I want any change to an issue's labels, assignees, blocks,\n    or comments to bump the issue's `updated_at`, so that \"last activity\"\n    sorting reflects all activity, not just edits to the issue's own fields.\n\n## Implementation Decisions\n\n**Modules.** The single seam of change is the data-access layer (`db.ts`):\ntypes, schema creation/migration, and all query functions. The Hono JSON API and\nthe HTML UI are consumers that will be updated to match — both currently\nduplicate schema knowledge (status/priority constants, label parse/serialize)\nthat must be reconciled to the new model. The library's public entry point and\ntable-prefixing convention are unchanged.\n\n**Removed fields.** Priority is removed entirely (column, type, filters,\ncreate/update paths) — faithful to GitHub, which has no first-class priority.\nThe `in_progress` status is removed.\n\n**Status + state_reason.** `status` is `open` | `closed`. A nullable\n`state_reason` holds `completed` / `not_planned` / `duplicate` (with `closed`)\nor `reopened` (with `open`), or `null`. It is auto-managed: create → `null`;\nclose → chosen reason (`completed` default); reopen → `reopened`. A `CHECK`\nconstraint enforces the valid pairings so an incoherent row is impossible. (ADR\ncontext: mirrors GitHub; \"not planned\" is not a third state.)\n\n**Body.** The issue's `description` is renamed to `body` so Issue and Comment\nshare one term, matching GitHub. Bodies remain `TEXT`; markdown is a rendering\ncontract, not a storage change.\n\n**Labels (ADR 0001).** A **Label** is a curated entity: `id`, unique `name`,\n`color`. Applied via an issue↔label join (bare tuple), cascade-deleting both\nsides; deleting an in-use label is allowed and simply removes the join rows. A\ndefault set (`bug`, `enhancement`, `documentation`, `question`, `duplicate`) is\nseeded **exactly once, at the moment the labels table is first created**, never\nre-seeded — so user deletions survive. Labels are editable (rename/recolour in\none place).\n\n**Assignees.** Multi-valued set of Val Town users, stored as a bare\nissue↔user-handle join tuple. No local users table; identity is the handle.\nSupports \"assigned to me\" queries in both directions.\n\n**Blocking (ADR 0002).** A directed edge `blocker → blocked`, stored once with a\nunique pair constraint and cascade on issue delete. \"Blocks\" and \"blocked by\"\nare the same edge read from opposite ends. The graph is a **strict DAG**: on\ninsert, reject if the target can already reach the source (reachability check\nvia recursive query), which covers self-edges, direct reciprocals, and longer\ncycles alike — deliberately stricter than GitHub. \"Blocked\" is **derived, never\nstored**: an issue is blocked iff any blocker is still `open`; blocked-ness is\ninformational and does not prevent closing.\n\n**Audit + provenance (ADR 0003 as amended, ADR 0004).** Entities (Issue,\nComment, Label) keep only `created_at` + `updated_at` columns (for hot-path\nlisting / \"last activity\" sorting). There are **no `*_by` columns anywhere**;\nactor/provenance lives solely in the events log. Link rows carry no audit\ncolumns. Every entity is editable, including comments (the old comment `author`\ncolumn is gone; the author is derived from the `comment.created` event).\n\n**Events log (ADR 0004).** One append-only, polymorphic table with roughly this\nshape:\n\n| column            | meaning                                                                                 |\n| ----------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |\n| `id`              | ordering key                                                                            |\n| `event_type`      | `<entity>.<verb>`, entity ∈ {issue, comment, label}, verb ∈ {created, updated, deleted} |\n| `entity_id`       | id of the affected entity                                                               |\n| `actor`           | Val Town handle that performed the change                                               |\n| `data`            | JSON payload (shape depends on verb)                                                    |\n| `event_timestamp` | when it happened                                                                        |\n\nGrammar — _boundary events snapshot, updates carry deltas_:\n\n- `*.created` → full initial-state snapshot.\n- `*.deleted` → full final-state snapshot (entities are hard-deleted; the event\n  is the tombstone — soft-delete was considered and rejected).\n- `*.updated` → `{ update_target, from, to }`.\n- Associations (label apply/remove, assign/unassign, block add/remove) are\n  modelled as `issue.updated` events with `update_target` ∈ {`label`,\n  `assignee`, `blocks`, `blocked_by`} and `from`/`to` using **`null ↔ value`**\n  (null→X = added, X→null = removed). No separate verb or link entity type.\n- One event per changed field: closing emits two events (`status` and\n  `state_reason`) sharing one actor and timestamp; a \"closed as not planned\"\n  timeline line is a read-time grouping by (actor, timestamp).\n- A block edge writes **one** event, on the acting issue; the reverse \"blocked\n  by\" view is derived by querying events whose `to` references the issue.\n\n**Identity / numbering.** Issues keep the autoincrement `id` as their friendly\n`#N` — no separate opaque id, since a single scoped database per host makes `id`\na clean per-tracker counter and there are no PRs competing for the sequence.\n\n**Touch rule.** Mutating an issue's labels, assignees, block edges, or comments\nbumps that issue's `updated_at` (in addition to emitting an event).\n\n**Migration.** This is a breaking change against ~3 existing deployments (this\nval + two test vals). Migration must: rename `description` → `body`; drop\n`priority`; remap any `in_progress` issue to `open`; lift each existing JSON\n`labels` array into the new label entities (creating labels as needed) and\nissue↔label join rows; move any existing single `assignee` into the assignee\njoin; and backfill a synthetic `*.created` event (and any needed state) for\nexisting rows so nothing is left provenance-less. Migration runs within the\nexisting idempotent schema-init path and must be safe to run repeatedly.\n\n**API + docs.** The JSON API is updated to the new model: no `priority`, two\nstatuses, `state_reason` on close/reopen, and label / assignee / block\noperations. The convention doc `docs/issue-tracker-valtown.md` is rewritten to\nthe new schema (it currently documents the old one) as part of this work.\n\n## Testing Decisions\n\n**Seam.** A single new seam: the exported functions of the data-access layer\n(`db.ts`). There is no existing test suite, so this is the first — no prior art\nto mirror; establish the pattern here. Tests run against a scoped SQLite\ndatabase and exercise the exported functions directly, with no HTTP or UI in the\nloop.\n\n**What makes a good test here.** Assert _external behaviour_ of the data layer —\nthe observable outcomes of calling its functions — not internal implementation\n(not specific SQL, indexes, or private helpers). A good test states a domain\nrule and checks it holds.\n\n**Behaviours to cover:**\n\n- Status/reason: create leaves reason null; each close reason sets status closed\n  with the right reason; reopen sets `reopened`; the `CHECK` constraint rejects\n  an incoherent pair.\n- Labels: default set seeded on first creation; deletions survive a re-init\n  (seed-once); applying/removing labels; deleting an in-use label removes its\n  join rows.\n- Assignees: add/remove; \"assigned to me\" returns the right issues.\n- Blocking: self-edge rejected; direct reciprocal rejected; longer cycle\n  rejected; a valid edge accepted; \"blocked\" derived from open blockers; closing\n  a blocker unblocks dependents; a blocked issue can still be closed.\n- Events: create/update/delete emit events with correct type, actor, and payload\n  grammar (created/deleted snapshots, update deltas, association `null ↔ value`,\n  one-event-per- field on close, single event on block add); deleted-entity\n  snapshot is complete.\n- Touch: association and comment changes bump the parent issue's `updated_at`.\n- Migration: from a seeded old-schema database, `in_progress` → `open`, JSON\n  labels lifted into tables, `description` readable as `body`, and existing rows\n  gain creation events; running migration twice is a no-op.\n\n## Out of Scope\n\n- Rendering markdown to HTML, and rendering the events log as a UI activity\n  timeline (data supports both; presentation is deferred — see\n  `docs/backlog.md`).\n- Turning user handles into clickable profile links (backlog).\n- Reintroducing priority or an `in_progress` state in any form.\n- A local users table or any identity beyond the Val Town handle.\n- Soft delete / restore (explicitly rejected in favour of hard delete +\n  tombstone event).\n- Retention or pruning of the append-only events log.\n- Topological \"what should I work on next\" ordering (the strict DAG keeps the\n  door open for it later, but it is not built here).\n- Black-box tests at the HTTP/API layer (single `db.ts` seam only, by decision).\n\n## Further Notes\n\n- Governing decisions live in ADRs 0001–0004 and the glossary in `CONTEXT.md`;\n  use that vocabulary in issue titles, tests, and code.\n- Deferred wants are tracked in `docs/backlog.md`.\n- The stale `docs/issue-tracker-valtown.md` is intentionally left untouched\n  until this work rewrites it, so nothing points agents at the new schema before\n  it exists.\n",[],[333,560,561,571],"09a12ef3-b79f-45bc-b0d7-6c7e712da8e8","ee584d8c-7bf2-11f1-8d5b-1607ee4eb77e",138,["D",1783641873720],[378,379,380],[333,560,561],"d15000a3-b025-47ce-89ad-8e9ceb3f49dd","b3ab7362-7fb7-11f1-8f98-1607ee4eb77e","b3107e7a-7fb7-11f1-b594-1607ee4eb77e",310,["D",1784074131135],"# PRD: GitHub-style UI refactor\n\nStatus: resolved\n\nWireframes for every screen live in `wireframes/` (browsable viewer at\n`wireframes/index.html`). They are the visual reference for this spec; the red\ndashed marks in them are annotations, not UI.\n\n## Problem Statement\n\nThe tracker's current UI is a functional but ad-hoc set of server-rendered\npages: the issue list is a dense table with no labels visible, filtering is a\nrow of separate form fields, issue management is a long single column of\nalways-visible forms stacked under the body, and label management looks nothing\nlike the rest of the app. For a user who lives in GitHub Issues, none of it\nmatches the mental model they already have, and the triage signal (labels like\n`ready-for-agent`) is invisible exactly where triage happens: the list.\n\n## Solution\n\nRestyle all pages after the GitHub Issues interface while keeping the existing\nroutes, role model, storage, and API untouched. A slim shared top bar (Issues ·\nLabels · current user) replaces per-page navigation. The issue list becomes a\ntoken search bar plus a panel of stacked rows with Open/Closed tabs, label\nchips, and a Blocked pill. The issue detail page becomes a two-column layout:\nthe body as the first comment card and the thread on the left, management\n(assignees, labels, relationships, delete) in a right sidebar of gear-revealed\nsections, with close-with-reason in the composer footer. Label management gains\na search input and an inline expanding create row. Issue creation gets a focused\ntitle + description column with metadata pickers in a sidebar. Everything stays\nserver-rendered and works without client-side JavaScript, using progressive\ndisclosure (`<details>`) and plain form posts.\n\n## User Stories\n\n1. As a user on any page, I want a consistent top bar with Issues and Labels\n   tabs and my handle/avatar, so that I always know where I am and can move\n   between the two surfaces in one click.\n2. As a visitor in standalone mode, I want the top bar to show a log in link\n   when I am signed out (and log out when signed in), so that the existing auth\n   affordances survive the redesign.\n3. As a user browsing issues, I want Open and Closed tabs with count pills at\n   the top of the list panel, so that I can switch lifecycle views and see\n   volumes at a glance.\n4. As a user browsing issues, I want each issue as a stacked row (state icon,\n   bold title, meta line, label chips), so that I can scan titles and triage\n   labels without opening anything.\n5. As a triager, I want label chips visible under each issue title in the list,\n   so that I can spot `ready-for-agent` vs `ready-for-human` work without\n   opening each issue.\n6. As a user browsing issues, I want a Blocked pill in a row's meta line when at\n   least one blocker is still open, so that I can skip work that cannot proceed.\n7. As a user browsing issues, I want each row's meta line to show number,\n   author, opened time, and last-updated time, so that I can judge freshness the\n   same way I do on GitHub.\n8. As a user browsing issues, I want rows sorted by last activity, so that the\n   most recently touched issues surface first.\n9. As a user browsing issues, I want a comment count on rows that have comments,\n   so that I can see where discussion is happening.\n10. As a user filtering issues, I want a single search bar that accepts\n    `status:` and `assignee:` tokens plus free text, so that one input replaces\n    the old row of separate filter fields.\n11. As a user filtering issues, I want free text in the search bar matched\n    against issue titles and bodies, so that I can find issues by content.\n12. As a contributor, I want a New issue button next to the search bar, so that\n    creating an issue is one click from the list.\n13. As a viewer (read-only role), I want the New issue button hidden, so that\n    the UI never offers actions I cannot perform.\n14. As a contributor creating an issue, I want a focused page with a required\n    title field and a description editor, so that writing is the primary\n    activity.\n15. As a contributor creating an issue, I want assignees and labels in a sidebar\n    with disclosure pickers over the curated label set, so that metadata never\n    interrupts the writing flow.\n16. As a contributor creating an issue, I want an \"assign yourself\" shortcut in\n    the Assignees section, so that self-assignment is one click.\n17. As a contributor creating an issue, I want a Create more checkbox that\n    returns me to a fresh form after submitting, so that I can enter several\n    issues in a row.\n18. As a contributor creating an issue, I want submitting without a title to\n    re-render the form with an error and my input preserved, so that I do not\n    lose work.\n19. As a user reading an issue, I want the title with the issue number, a filled\n    Open (or Closed) pill, and a Blocked pill when applicable, so that state is\n    legible at the top.\n20. As a user reading an issue, I want the body rendered as the first comment\n    card with author, opened time, an edited marker, and a role badge, so that\n    provenance reads like GitHub.\n21. As a user reading an issue, I want comments as cards with author and time,\n    so that the thread is easy to follow.\n22. As a user reading a closed issue, I want the close reason visible\n    (completed, not planned, duplicate), so that I know why it was closed.\n23. As a user reading a reopened issue, I want the reopened state visible, so\n    that I can distinguish it from a never-closed issue.\n24. As a commenter, I want a composer at the end of the thread with a Comment\n    button, so that replying is immediate.\n25. As a viewer, I want the composer replaced by a read-only notice, so that the\n    page degrades honestly for my role.\n26. As an issue manager (creator or maintainer), I want Close issue with a\n    reason chooser in the composer footer, so that closing with the right state\n    reason is part of the natural flow.\n27. As an issue manager, I want Reopen offered in the same spot when the issue\n    is closed, so that the lifecycle actions live in one place.\n28. As an issue manager, I want a sidebar with Assignees, Labels, and\n    Relationships sections that stay quiet until I open their controls, so that\n    reading is undisturbed by forms.\n29. As an issue manager, I want each sidebar section's controls revealed by a\n    disclosure (gear), so that add/remove actions are available without\n    permanent clutter.\n30. As an issue manager, I want to add and remove labels via a picker over the\n    curated set, so that labeling is choosing, never typing.\n31. As an issue manager, I want to add and remove assignees by Val Town handle,\n    so that responsibility stays visible.\n32. As an issue manager, I want the Relationships section to show both\n    directions (blocked by / blocks) with each blocker's open/closed state, so\n    that I understand the dependency picture.\n33. As an issue manager, I want adding a blocking edge that would create a cycle\n    to fail with a clear error, so that the DAG guarantee is surfaced, not\n    silent.\n34. As a comment author (or maintainer), I want edit and delete on my comments\n    via each card's overflow, so that moderation matches GitHub.\n35. As a maintainer, I want Delete issue in the sidebar clearly separated and\n    marked maintainer-only, so that the destructive action is hard to hit by\n    accident.\n36. As a user with no manage rights, I want the sidebar management controls\n    absent entirely, so that role boundaries render as absences, not errors.\n37. As an issue manager, I want a pencil next to the title leading to the edit\n    page, so that fixing a title or body is one click.\n38. As a user of the labels page, I want a search input over labels, so that I\n    can find a label as the set grows.\n39. As a user of the labels page, I want rows showing chip, hex color, and\n    open-issue count, so that I can see each label's look and usage.\n40. As a maintainer, I want New label to expand an inline create row (preview\n    chip, name, color with swatch), so that creation happens in place rather\n    than on another page.\n41. As a maintainer, I want edit and delete behind each label row's overflow\n    menu, so that management is available but not shouting.\n42. As a maintainer, I want the open-issue count visible before deleting a\n    label, so that the cascade (label vanishing from issues) is a visible\n    consequence.\n43. As a host-val owner mounting the tracker in routed mode, I want the compact\n    top bar to be the only chrome, so that the tracker embeds politely under my\n    router's own UI.\n44. As a keyboard or assistive-tech user, I want all interactions to be links,\n    forms, and native disclosures, so that the UI works without JavaScript and\n    with standard semantics.\n45. As a future user, I want a Preview tab slot in the editors that activates\n    when markdown rendering lands, so that the layout will not shift when the\n    roadmap catches up.\n46. As a triager, I want a `label:` search token (and a Labels dropdown that\n    injects it), so that I can narrow the list to a specific triage label like\n    `ready-for-agent`. Token values containing spaces use percent encoding, so\n    the label `good first issue` is written as `label:good%20first%20issue`;\n    unencoded `label:good first issue` is not a multi-word label token.\n47. As a user filtering issues, I want an `author:` search token (and an Author\n    dropdown), so that I can see issues opened by a given handle.\n48. As a user filtering issues, I want `is:blocked` / `is:unblocked` tokens (and\n    a Blocked/Unblocked dropdown), so that I can focus on work that can or\n    cannot proceed.\n49. As a user filtering issues, I want the Open/Closed tabs and every dropdown\n    to edit tokens in the one search query rather than replace it, so that\n    filters compose instead of clobbering each other.\n\n## Implementation Decisions\n\n- **Preserve public behavior contracts.** Routes, JSON API shapes, the `Issue`\n  model, database schema, and role model (viewer / contributor / maintainer,\n  standalone vs routed, the auth-UI signal) stay unchanged. Minimal internal\n  store projections and aggregate-write methods may support bounded rendering\n  and atomic creation without changing those public contracts.\n- **Shared top bar in the layout component.** 64px bar rendered on every page:\n  Issues and Labels tabs with an active underline, current user handle and\n  avatar on the right, and the existing login/logout affordance when the auth UI\n  is enabled. All page-local back links and duplicate New issue buttons are\n  removed in favor of the bar.\n- **Zero-JS-first, progressive disclosure.** Every interaction must work as\n  plain links and form posts. Gear-revealed sidebar sections, the inline label\n  create row, overflow menus, and pickers are `<details>`/`<summary>`\n  disclosures. No client-side framework; if a sprinkle of JS is ever added it\n  must be an enhancement, not a requirement.\n- **Token search, parsed server-side.** The list's single search input submits\n  one query parameter. The server parses `status:<open|closed>`,\n  `assignee:<handle>`, `label:<name>`, `author:<handle>`, and\n  `is:blocked`/`is:unblocked` tokens out of it, in any order. `status` and\n  `assignee` feed the list projection; `label`, `author`, and blocked-ness are\n  applied in-route (`blocked` stays a derived property). Token values are\n  percent-encoded when they contain whitespace: `label:good%20first%20issue` is\n  valid, while `label:good first issue` parses as the simple `label:good` token\n  plus free text. The remainder, and any unrecognized token, become the\n  free-text search. Old `status`/`assignee`/`search` query parameters keep\n  working.\n- **Token-injecting filter dropdowns.** The list header carries Author, Labels,\n  and Blocked/Unblocked dropdowns built as `<details>` disclosures; choosing an\n  entry adds or replaces the matching token (`author:`, `label:`,\n  `is:blocked`/`is:unblocked`) in the query and submits. They are conveniences\n  over the search bar, which stays the single source of truth; zero-JS via\n  native disclosures and form posts.\n- **Open/Closed tabs replace the metric tiles and the status dropdown.** Counts\n  render as pills on the tabs. The tabs are links that rewrite the `status:`\n  token in the current query, preserving every other token; the active tab\n  reflects the effective status filter (default: open).\n- **Stacked list rows replace the table.** Row anatomy: state icon, bold title\n  (linking to the detail page), optional Blocked pill, meta line (number,\n  author, opened relative time, updated relative time), label chips, and a\n  right-aligned comment count when nonzero. Blocked remains a derived property\n  (an open blocker exists), never stored.\n- **Detail page is two-column.** Main column: the issue body as the first\n  comment card (author, opened time, edited marker, a role badge when the author\n  is a maintainer), then comment cards, then the composer. Sidebar: Assignees,\n  Labels, Relationships, and Delete sections separated by hairlines, each\n  section's mutation controls inside a disclosure and rendered only for users\n  allowed to use them (manage rights for issue associations; maintainer for\n  delete). Relationships lists both edge directions with each related issue's\n  status; the existing cycle-rejection error surfaces through the existing error\n  banner.\n- **Lifecycle actions live in the composer footer.** Close issue with a reason\n  chooser (completed default, not planned, duplicate) next to the Comment\n  button; Reopen replaces it when the issue is closed. These call the existing\n  close/reopen routes.\n- **Create/edit pages.** Create: required title, description textarea in a\n  Write-tab editor frame with a visible but inert Preview slot (activates when\n  markdown rendering ships), sidebar sections for assignees (including\n  assign-yourself) and label picking, footer with Create, Cancel, and a Create\n  more checkbox that redirects back to the create form instead of the new issue.\n  Edit mirrors create with title + body only. Assignee handles remain\n  unvalidated; the form notes this.\n- **Labels page.** Heading with maintainer-only New label button that expands an\n  inline create row (live-preview chip, name, color with swatch) posting to the\n  existing create-label route; a search input filtering labels by name\n  (server-side, query parameter); rows of chip, hex color, open-issue count, and\n  an overflow disclosure containing edit-in-place and delete. Label deletion\n  behavior is unchanged (cascade off issues; defaults seeded once per ADR 0001 —\n  the page never re-seeds).\n- **Open-issue count per label** is computed with a join at render time; no\n  schema change.\n- **Monochrome-agnostic styling.** The wireframes are lo-fi; the implementation\n  keeps the app's existing styling approach and dark palette, mapping wireframe\n  structure (not colors) onto it. Label chips continue to use each label's\n  stored color.\n\n## Testing Decisions\n\n- **Single seam: the HTTP handler.** All tests drive the app through the tracker\n  factory called with an in-memory store, exactly as the existing form-driven\n  test does: build a request, call the returned handler, assert on status,\n  redirect location, and markers in the rendered HTML.\n- **Good tests assert external behavior, not markup internals.** Assert that the\n  open/closed counts render, that a blocked issue's list row contains the\n  Blocked marker, that a viewer's page omits the New issue and composer\n  affordances, that token search narrows results, that Create more redirects\n  back to the form — not that a specific class name or element nesting is\n  present. String markers should be user-visible text or stable landmarks.\n- **Prior art:** the existing end-to-end form test (`app_test` — HTML forms\n  drive create, lifecycle, labels, assignees, blocks, and comments) is the\n  model: in-memory SQLite via the test store factory, `auth: false`, form posts,\n  HTML assertions. New tests extend this file's style; role-gating tests can\n  construct routed contexts the same way existing routed tests do.\n- **The JSON API tests are untouched** — the API surface does not change.\n\n## Out of Scope\n\n- **Markdown rendering** and therefore Preview activation; the Preview tab ships\n  visibly inert (roadmap).\n- **Personal views** (assigned to me, created by me, recent activity) — deferred\n  until there is real multi-user traffic.\n- **Sort menus** and any other header dropdowns beyond Author, Labels, and\n  Blocked/Unblocked (which now ship — see Implementation Decisions); sort stays\n  fixed at last activity.\n- **Label descriptions** — explicitly decided against; no schema change.\n- **Mobile-specific layouts** — the pages remain simple enough to degrade, but\n  no dedicated responsive pass in this effort.\n- **Pagination**, file attachments, notifications, milestones, projects, and any\n  other GitHub feature without an existing backend.\n- **API or schema changes of any kind.**\n\n## Further Notes\n\n- Final recertification on 2026-07-14 verified all seven child tickets as\n  resolved with no unchecked acceptance criteria. Focused regressions for the\n  issue-body edited marker and the one-query label-summary projection passed,\n  followed by `deno fmt --check`, `deno task lint`, `deno task typecheck`, and\n  `deno task test` (43 passed, 0 failed).\n- Visual reference: `wireframes/issue-list.svg`, `wireframes/issue-detail.svg`,\n  `wireframes/issue-new.svg`, `wireframes/labels.svg`, flow overview in\n  `wireframes/flow.svg`, all browsable via `wireframes/index.html`.\n- The wireframes were iterated against GitHub Issues screenshots supplied during\n  the design session; decisions recorded there and folded in here: top bar over\n  sidebar nav, no label descriptions, personal views deferred, Preview marked\n  roadmap.\n- Relative-time formatting (\"3d ago\") appears throughout the wireframes; the\n  current UI shows absolute dates. Treat relative times as the target, but this\n  is a presentation detail, not a contract.\n- If disclosure-based pickers prove awkward for multi-select labeling in\n  practice, the fallback is the current always-visible form for that one\n  section; keep the section anatomy either way.\n",[],[333,560,592,571],"github-style-ui","e8e734c2-605d-4072-96d6-888c0c2e38a5","07-labels-page.md","b3803c74-7fb7-11f1-bc45-1607ee4eb77e","b3318a70-7fb7-11f1-bc45-1607ee4eb77e",312,["D",1784074131216],"# 07 — Labels page\n\n**What to build:** The labels page becomes GitHub-like. A search input filters\nlabels by name server-side via a query parameter. Each label renders as a row\nshowing its chip, hex color, and open-issue count (computed with a join at\nrender time — no schema change). A maintainer-only New label button expands an\ninline create row with a live-preview chip, a name field, and a color field with\na swatch, posting to the existing create-label route. Each row has an overflow\ndisclosure containing edit-in-place and delete; the visible open-issue count\nmakes the delete cascade (the label vanishing from that many issues) a visible\nconsequence. Label deletion behavior is unchanged.\n\n**Blocked by:** 01\n\n**Status:** resolved\n\n- [x] A search input filters the label list by name (server-side)\n- [x] Each row shows the label chip, its hex color, and its open-issue count\n- [x] Open-issue counts are computed with a render-time join rather than by\n      loading and aggregating every issue in application memory\n- [x] A maintainer sees New label, which expands an inline create row with a\n      live-preview chip, name, and color-with-swatch, and creating a label works\n      via the existing route\n- [x] Edit-in-place and delete live behind each row's overflow disclosure\n- [x] A non-maintainer sees the list and counts but no create/edit/delete\n      controls\n- [x] No route, API, or schema change; the store gains only an internal read\n      projection (permitted by the PRD, which requires the join)\n\n## Comments\n\n- Rebuilt the labels surface with server-side name search, label chips, hex\n  colors, open-issue counts, and maintainer-only native disclosures for create,\n  edit, and delete actions.\n- Added a progressive-enhancement preview for new label name/color changes;\n  creation still works as a normal form post without JavaScript.\n- Validation passed: `deno task check` (format, lint, typecheck, and 32 tests).\n- Independent recertification reopened this ticket: the rendered counts are\n  correct, but the route still aggregates `store.listIssues()` in memory rather\n  than using the PRD-required render-time join.\n- Closed the reopened box with a `store.listLabelSummaries({ search })`\n  projection: one `LEFT JOIN` over labels → issue_labels → issues counting\n  `status = 'open'`, with name search pushed into the same query. The route no\n  longer loads every issue to render the labels page. This is the \"minimal\n  internal store projection\" the PRD allows (same shape as the existing\n  `listIssueRows` / `listIssueAuthors`); routes, API, and schema are unchanged.\n- Label search now escapes `%` and `_`, so searching for a literal `%` matches\n  nothing instead of every label.\n- Validation: `deno task check` (format, lint, typecheck, 43 tests). New db test\n  pins the counts, the closed-issue exclusion, and a one-query bound; the\n  existing labels-page route test covers the rendering end to end unchanged.\n- Reworded the last acceptance box: it claimed \"no store change\" while the box\n  above it mandates a render-time join, which only SQL in the store can do. The\n  two are consistent only if that box means the _public_ contracts (routes, JSON\n  API, schema), which is what the PRD protects and what this change preserves.\n- Review follow-ups applied: extracted a `toLabel` row mapper (the summary query\n  was becoming a fifth copy) and named the search helper `containsPattern`.\n- Known, accepted: SQLite's `LIKE` folds case for ASCII only, where the previous\n  JS `.toLowerCase()` folded all of Unicode. `?q=BUG` still finds `bug`; a label\n  named `étiquette` would no longer match `?q=ÉTIQUETTE`. No such label exists\n  and the curated set is ASCII, so this is not worth an ICU dependency.\n- Left alone deliberately: issue free-text search (`db.ts` `listIssues`) still\n  passes `%` through as a wildcard.

The code has **not** been migrated to it yet. As of\n2026-07-14, `theme.ts` still holds the pre-migration palette, and the two\ndirectly contradict each other:\n\n| Concern | `theme.ts` today        | `DESIGN.md` target                     |\n| ------- | ----------------------- | -------------------------------------- |\n| Canvas  | `#0f1115` blue-charcoal | `#ffffff` / `#000000`                  |\n| Accent  | `#3d7bf0` blue          | `#0069a8` / `#00bcff` (Val Town `sky`) |\n| Borders | `#2a2f3a`               | `#e2e8f0` / `#314158` (slate)          |\n| Type    | bare `font-sans` stack  | IBM Plex Sans + iA Writer Mono         |\n| Scheme  | dark only               | dual, via `prefers-color-scheme`       |\n\nSo: **when the code and `DESIGN.md` disagree, `DESIGN.md` wins as the target,\nbut do not assume the surrounding code already follows it.** Don't \"fix\"\n`DESIGN.md` to match `theme.ts`. Don't cite existing code as precedent for a\ntoken choice — most of it predates the spec. The migration is tracked in\n`docs/backlog.md`. Delete this section once `theme.ts` matches the spec.\n\n## The UI surface\n\nAll user-visible rendering is server-rendered Hono TSX, styled with Twind\nutility classes. Four files, in dependency order:\n\n```\ntheme.ts       → the palette. No local imports, so it can never create a cycle.\nui.tsx         → primitives (Button, Card, Select, Banner, StatusBadge, LabelTag)\nlayout.tsx     → the <html> shell and the 64px top bar\ncomponents.tsx → the pages (list rows, detail, labels, create/edit)\n```\n\n`theme.ts` is the **single source of truth for the palette**. A recurring color\nbelongs there; genuine one-offs stay inline. Don't introduce a second palette\nmodule, and don't hardcode a hex in `components.tsx` that `theme.ts` already\nnames.\n\n## Constraints that outrank visual preference\n\n- **Zero-JS.** Every interaction is a link, a form post, or a native `<details>`\n  disclosure. This is a PRD-level contract, not a style. A design that needs\n  client JS to work is wrong here regardless of how it looks. Any JS must be an\n  enhancement the page works without.\n- **It embeds politely.** The tracker is a guest in a host val. One slim bar of\n  chrome; it never assumes it owns the page. This is why the target is\n  dual-scheme rather than dark-only.\n- **Role boundaries render as absences.** What a user can't do isn't shown\n  disabled or explained — it's absent.\n- **User label colors are sacred.** A label's stored `color` is user-authored\n  and always wins over the palette.\n\n## Don't conflate the four root docs\n\n| File         | Answers                     | Owned by           |\n| ------------ | --------------------------- | ------------------ |\n| `CONTEXT.md` | what the words mean         | `/domain-modeling` |\n| `docs/adr/`  | why it was decided that way | `/domain-modeling` |\n| `PRODUCT.md` | who it's for and why        | `/impeccable init` |\n| `DESIGN.md`  | how it looks                | `/impeccable`      |\n\n`DESIGN.md` is **strictly visual**. Domain vocabulary lives in `CONTEXT.md` —\nuse its terms (Issue, Body, Status, State Reason, Blocked, Event) in UI copy and\ncomponent names rather than drifting to synonyms. See `domain.md`.\n\nNote the two label axes, per `triage-labels.md`: the tracker _product's_ labels\n(`bug`, `enhancement`, …) are what `LabelTag` renders. The workflow triage\nlabels (`ready-for-agent`, …) are a different axis and are not a UI concern.\n\n## Flag DESIGN.md conflicts\n\nIf your work contradicts a Named Rule, surface it rather than silently\noverriding — the same way ADR conflicts get surfaced:\n\n> _Contradicts The No-Card Rule (one panel, hairline rows) — but worth reopening\n> because…_\n\nThe Named Rules in `DESIGN.md` (The Encoded Color Rule, The Achromatic Canvas\nRule, The Hairline Rule, The Machine Facts Rule, The One Bold Rule, The Badge\nContainment Rule, The Flat-Forever Rule, The No-Card Rule) are the citable unit.\nQuote them by name.\n",[],[333,674,692],"8a26a61d-d596-4a29-9050-a96215f95442",136,["D",1783641873401],[362,363,364,365],[333,674],"31c02dd3-aedd-4960-bc34-e9b9c5426093","0004-append-only-events-log.md","ee7eb5c6-7bf2-11f1-8930-1607ee4eb77e","ee2551f2-7bf2-11f1-a4f1-1607ee4eb77e",168,["D",1783653142026],"# 0004 — Single append-only events log as source of truth for history\n\n## Status\n\nAccepted\n\n## Context\n\nAudit columns (ADR 0003) record only the _last_ writer of a row — they cannot\nanswer \"what happened to this issue over time,\" and crucially cannot recover\ninformation that a mutation _removed_ (a label unapplied, an assignee dropped, a\nblock edge deleted).

This reuses the scalar-edit grammar; no new verb, no link entity\n  type.\n- **One event per changed field.** Closing emits two events (`status`\n  open→closed and `state_reason` null→reason) sharing one\n  `actor`/`event_timestamp`; reopen likewise. Rendering \"closed as not planned\"\n  as a single timeline line is a read-time grouping by (actor, timestamp).\n- **Block edges write one event, on the acting issue** (ADR 0002 / Q17); the\n  reverse \"blocked by\" view is derived by querying events whose `to` references\n  the issue.\n\n## Consequences\n\n- The log is the single source of truth for provenance and history; live tables\n  hold only current state. Every entity create/update/delete and every\n  association change **must** emit an event, or provenance is lost.\n- Full state at any past time is reconstructable: start from the `created`\n  snapshot, replay `updated` deltas forward.\n- Removals are captured (the whole point) — a `label_removed`-style fact\n  survives as an `issue.updated` with `to: null`, and deleted entities leave a\n  snapshot tombstone.\n- Whether the log is surfaced in the UI (activity timeline) is deferred; the\n  data supports it either way.

Today\nit is inconsistent: issues have `created_by`/`created_at`/`updated_at` but no\n`updated_by`; comments have only `author` + `created_at` and no edit operation\nat all.\n\n## Decision\n\nTwo rules, applied across the whole schema:\n\n1. **Entities carry all four audit columns**: `created_at`, `created_by`,\n   `updated_at`, `updated_by`. Entities are the things a user authors and can\n   later change — **Issue**, **Comment**, **Label**. Consequently, _every entity\n   is editable_ (there is an update operation for each), including comments.\n   `created_by`/`updated_by` hold Val Town handles.\n\n2. **Join / link rows carry only the creation pair**: `created_at` +\n   `created_by` (surfaced with intent-revealing names, e.g.\n   `assigned_at`/`assigned_by` on assignees, `linked_at`/`linked_by` on block\n   edges). Links are immutable — a user _adds_ or _removes_ them, never _edits_\n   one — so `updated_at`/`updated_by` would be meaningless.\n\nNaming: the Comment's `author` column is renamed **`created_by`** so the\nconvention is uniform (the author _is_ the creator).\n\n## Consequences\n\n- Comment editing becomes a real, supported operation (mirrors GitHub).\n- Every table's provenance is queryable in a uniform way; no per-table special\n  cases.\n- `updated_at` combines with the \"touch\" rule (see CONTEXT.md): association\n  changes bump the parent issue's `updated_at` too.\n- Slightly more columns and write-path bookkeeping everywhere — accepted for the\n  auditability and uniformity it buys.\n\n## Amendment (superseded in part by ADR 0004)\n\nOnce the append-only events log (ADR 0004) was adopted, it became the source of\ntruth for _who_ did _what_ and _when_. That makes the `*_by` columns redundant —\nactor is derivable as the latest event for an entity. We therefore revised this\ndecision:\n\n- **Entities keep only `created_at` + `updated_at`** as denormalized columns —\n  they drive hot-path listing and \"last activity\" sorting, which would otherwise\n  require a `MAX(event_timestamp)` aggregate over the log on every render.\n- **`created_by` / `updated_by` columns are dropped.** The actor is derived from\n  the events log, which is already loaded on the only screen that needs it (an\n  entity's detail/timeline view).\n- **Link rows carry no audit columns at all** — assignees and block edges become\n  bare relationship tuples; their provenance lives entirely in events.\n\nWhat stands unchanged from the original decision: **every entity (Issue,\nComment, Label) is editable**, including comments, and the Comment's old\n`author` column is gone (its creator is derived from the `comment.created`\nevent).\n",[],[333,713,715],"bf1eb092-9651-471a-b7da-df0287561a70","0002-blocking-graph-integrity.md","eedbe340-7bf2-11f1-a9f4-1607ee4eb77e",183,["D",1783653141615],"# 0002 — Blocking graph is a strict DAG (reject all cycles)\n\n## Status\n\nAccepted\n\n## Context\n\nIssues can block each other, forming a directed graph stored as edges in\n`issue_tracker_issue_blocks(blocker_id, blocked_id)` (edge direction: blocker →\nblocked).
