**Domain:** stack
**Repo slug:** artifact-store

**Workplan prefix:** `ARTIFACT-STORE-WP-`

## State Hub Integration

The Custodian State Hub tracks work across all domains. Interact via HTTP REST —
there is no MCP server for Codex agents.

| Context | URL |
|---------|-----|
| Local workstation | `http://127.0.0.1:8000` |
| Remote via tunnel | `http://127.0.0.1:18000` |

### Orient at session start

```bash
# Offline brief — works without hub connection
cat .custodian-brief.md

# Active workstreams for this domain
curl -s "http://127.0.0.1:8000/workstreams/?topic_id=595afc64-bd28-47bf-aafb-ba230b28371b&status=active" \
  | python3 -m json.tool

# Check inbox
curl -s "http://127.0.0.1:8000/messages/?to_agent=artifact-store&unread_only=true" \
  | python3 -m json.tool
```

Mark a message read:
```bash
curl -s -X PATCH "http://127.0.0.1:8000/messages/<id>/read" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{}'
```

### Log progress (required at session close)

```bash
curl -s -X POST http://127.0.0.1:8000/progress/ \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "summary": "what was done",
    "event_type": "note",
    "author": "codex",
    "workstream_id": "<uuid>",
    "task_id": "<uuid>"
  }'
```

Omit `workstream_id` / `task_id` when not applicable.

### Update task status

```bash
curl -s -X PATCH "http://127.0.0.1:8000/tasks/<task_id>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"status": "in_progress"}'
# values: todo | in_progress | done | blocked
```

### Flag a task for human review

```bash
curl -s -X PATCH "http://127.0.0.1:8000/tasks/<task_id>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"needs_human": true, "intervention_note": "reason"}'
```

## Session Protocol

**Start:**
1. `cat .custodian-brief.md` — domain goal and open workstreams (offline-safe)
2. Check inbox: `GET /messages/?to_agent=artifact-store&unread_only=true`; mark read
3. Scan workplans: `ls workplans/` — note `status: active` files and open tasks
4. Check blocked tasks: `GET /tasks/?needs_human=true`

**During work:**
- Update task statuses in workplan files as tasks progress
- Record significant decisions via `POST /decisions/`

**Close:**
1. Update workplan file task statuses to reflect progress
2. Log: `POST /progress/` with a summary of what changed
3. Note for the custodian operator: after workplan file changes, run from
   `~/the-custodian/state-hub`:
   ```bash
   make fix-consistency REPO=artifact-store
   ```
   This syncs task status from files into the hub DB.

## Workplan Convention (ADR-001)

Work items originate as files in this repo — not in the hub. The hub is a
read/cache/index layer that rebuilds from files.

**File location:** `workplans/ARTIFACT-STORE-WP-NNNN-<slug>.md`

**Archived location:** completed workplans may move to
`workplans/archived/YYMMDD-ARTIFACT-STORE-WP-NNNN-<slug>.md`. The `YYMMDD` prefix is
the completion/archive date; the frontmatter `id` does not change.

**Ad Hoc Tasks:** small opportunistic fixes discovered during a session use
`workplans/ADHOC-YYYY-MM-DD.md` with task ids `ADHOC-YYYY-MM-DD-T01`, etc. Use
this only for low-risk work completed directly; create a normal workplan for
anything needing analysis, design, approval, dependencies, or multiple phases.

**Frontmatter:**

```yaml
---
id: ARTIFACT-STORE-WP-NNNN
type: workplan
title: "..."
domain: stack
repo: artifact-store
status: active | done
owner: codex
topic_slug: ...
created: "YYYY-MM-DD"
updated: "YYYY-MM-DD"
state_hub_workstream_id: "<uuid>"   # written by fix-consistency — do not edit
---
```

**Task block format** (one per `##` section):

```
## Task Title

` ` `task
id: ARTIFACT-STORE-WP-NNNN-T01
status: todo | in_progress | done | blocked
priority: high | medium | low
state_hub_task_id: "<uuid>"         # written by fix-consistency — do not edit
` ` `

Task description text.
```

Status progression: `todo` → `in_progress` → `done` (or `blocked`)

To create a new workplan:
1. Write the file following the format above
2. Notify the custodian operator to run `make fix-consistency REPO=artifact-store`
   (or send a message to the hub agent via `POST /messages/`)

## Current Repo Shape

v0.1 baseline (WP-0001) is live: library, CLI, minimal HTTP app, local FS
backend, end-to-end ingest + finalize + replay. The pinned tech stack is in
[ADR-0005](docs/adr/0005-v1-tech-stack.md).

Sources of truth:

- `INTENT.md` — purpose, product thesis, scope, service boundary.
- `SCOPE.md` — lightweight orientation.
- `docs/OPERATOR.md` — runbook: env vars, DB backends, CLI / HTTP reference, smoke test, replay procedure.
- `docs/ARCHITECTURE-BLUEPRINT.md` — architecture v2: modules, data model, API shape.
- `docs/PLATFORM-AMBITION.md` — longer-horizon thesis and the v1 schema commitments (A1–A9).
- `docs/adr/` — architecture decision records ADR-0001 … ADR-0006 (content-addressed storage, event log as source of truth, canonical CBOR manifests, control/data plane contract, v1 tech stack, OCI reachability).
- `docs/ROADMAP.md` — workplan sequencing across phases.
- `docs/ASSEMBLY-EXPERIMENT.md` — opt-in research line on hand-tuned asm for hot kernels.
- `workplans/ARTIFACT-STORE-WP-0001-service-baseline.md` — Foundation workplan (done).
- `workplans/ARTIFACT-STORE-WP-{0002..0005}-*.md` — planned next workplans.

Local commands:

```sh
make install        # uv sync --all-extras
make migrate-fresh  # drop + re-create the dev SQLite DB
make dev            # uvicorn on 127.0.0.1:8000
make test           # pytest
make lint type      # ruff + mypy --strict

```

## Repo Boundary

This repo owns artifact identity, package/file metadata, storage backend
abstraction, retention policy, retrieval metadata, and audit trails.

It does not own StateHub work records, guide-board assessment semantics, formal
records-management certification, or producer-specific business logic.
