# state-hub-inbox

Offline event queue for State Hub sessions run without an active reverse tunnel.

When the State Hub MCP server is unreachable, Claude writes pending events here
as YAML files instead of dropping them. On the next connected session, these are
drained by calling the appropriate State Hub write tools and marking each file
`status: ingested`.

## File format

```yaml
type: progress_event          # or: decision, task_status_update
topic_id: <uuid>
workstream_id: <uuid>
event_type: milestone
summary: "..."
detail: {}
status: pending               # → ingested after processing
recorded_at: "YYYY-MM-DD"
source_repo: railiance-hosts
```

## Drain procedure (manual until automated)

At session start, if `get_domain_summary()` succeeds, check for pending files:

```bash
grep -l "status: pending" state-hub-inbox/*.yaml
```

For each, call `add_progress_event()` with the file's fields, then update
`status: pending` → `status: ingested` and commit.
