+# INTENT ↔ SCOPE State Assessment — reuse-surface
+
+**Date:** 2026-06-15  
+**Author:** codex  
+**Trigger:** Post-REUSE-WP-0011 review; `SCOPE.md` and `docs/IntentScopeGapAnalysis.md`
+refreshed (commit `5fcca42`).  
+**Follow-up workplan:** `workplans/REUSE-WP-0012-federation-scale-and-intent-alignment.md`
+
+---
+
+## 1. Executive summary
+
+`reuse-surface` has completed its MVP-through-hub roadmap (REUSE-WP-0001 …
+REUSE-WP-0011). The registry product delivers **20 helix_forge capabilities**,
+**A3 CLI tooling**, a **production federation hub at A4**
+(`https://reuse.coulomb.social`), federation compose, catalog/graph UIs, and
+**20 pytest tests** with CI gates.
+
+INTENT and SCOPE are **aligned on the core model** (registry-first, four maturity
+dimensions, human/agent consumers). Remaining work shifts from “build the
+registry” to **scale federation membership**, **planning analytics**, and
+**operational hardening**.
+
+**Self-assessed product vector:** `D5 / A4 / C4 / R3`
+
+---
+
+## 2. Delivery snapshot
+
+| Area | State (2026-06-15) |
+|---|---|
+| Capability entries | 20 in `registry/capabilities/` |
+| Index | `registry/indexes/capabilities.yaml` |
+| CLI commands | validate, query, export, overlaps, catalog, federation, graph, hub, serve |
+| Hosted hub | Railiance01 `92.205.62.239`; TLS live; image `cb7a6e4` |
+| Hub registrations | 1 (`reuse-surface` → 12 capabilities on `/v1/federated`) |
+| Federation (local) | `sources.yaml` + HTTP cache; `federated.yaml` composed in CI |
+| Tests | 20 pytest; CI validate + federation + catalog + graph |
+| Workplans | WP-0001 … WP-0011 finished; WP-0011 archived |
+| Landing page | `railiance-apps` RAILIANCE-WP-0008 at `/` (browser only) |
+
+---
+
+## 3. INTENT alignment
+
+### Aligned
+
+- Registry-first boundary (unregistered = invisible)
+- Four maturity dimensions with internal/external evidence separation
+- Human and agent consumption surfaces
+- Technical foundation (“eventually technical”) — **met at MVP**: CLI + hub API
+- Planning vs implementation reuse distinction in schema and workflows
+
+### Partial
+
+| INTENT expectation | Gap |
+|---|---|
+| Cross-repo / organizational reuse | All entries `helix_forge`; hub has one member |
+| Eight success criteria fully met | Analytics, D7 tracking, “reuse as normal” still partial |
+| Consumer reliability evidence | Catalog mostly R0–R2; no registry telemetry |
+
+### Drift (documentation)
+
+- `INTENT.md` “Initial Repository Role” tree predates `reuse_surface/hub/`,
+  `Dockerfile`, `workplans/archived/`, hub specs
+- INTENT example entry uses `external_evidence.*.current`; schema uses `level`
+
+---
+
+## 4. Success criteria scorecard
+
+| Criterion | Verdict |
+|---|---|
+| Find reusable capabilities before rebuilding | **Yes (MVP)** |
+| Compare maturity consistently | **Yes** |
+| Distinguish conceptual readiness from delivery | **Yes** |
+| Distinguish internal vs external evidence | **Yes** |
+| Plan prototype/MVP/enhancement/platform work | **Partial** |
+| Identify gaps, duplicates, overlaps, standardization | **Partial** |
+| Track progress to generalized capabilities | **Partial** |
+| Make reuse normal in product/architecture work | **Partial** |
+
+---
+
+## 5. Completeness and reliability
+
+**Completeness vs INTENT:** **C4 (Broadly Covered)**
+
+Core registry, tooling, and hub are in place. Federation membership and planning
+analytics are the main bounded gaps.
+
+**Reliability vs INTENT:** **R3 (Usable)**
+
+CI, pytest, and production hub smoke checks support normal workflows. Not yet
+**R4 Dependable** — no documented SLO, formal consumer feedback, or multi-replica
+hub posture.
+
+---
+
+## 6. Open gaps (priorities 18–23)
+
+| Priority | Gap | Suggested outcome |
+|---|---|---|
+| 18 | Sibling hub registrations | `state-hub` + one other repo on hub |
+| 19 | `hub sync` | Write `sources.yaml` from hub state |
+| 20 | Planning cohort reports | D5+/A4+ candidate export views |
+| 21 | INTENT layout sync | Update INTENT.md tree and example shape |
+| 22 | Hub hardening | Backup, Postgres option, documented SLO |
+| 23 | External evidence program | Raise catalog R levels with feedback fields |
+
+Captured in `docs/IntentScopeGapAnalysis.md` section 8 and
+**REUSE-WP-0012**.
+
+---
+
+## 7. Recommendations
+
+1. **Execute REUSE-WP-0012** in federation-first order: hub membership and
+   `hub sync` before analytics and hardening.
+2. **Coordinate sibling repos** — hub registration is blocked until domains
+   publish raw `capabilities.yaml` URLs (document publish contract in WP-0012).
+3. **Refresh INTENT.md** early in WP-0012 to reduce contributor confusion.
+4. **Defer A6 hub posture** until multi-replica or backup requirements are
+   explicit; current SQLite single-replica is acceptable for helix_forge scale.

+Follow-up to `history/2026-06-15-intent-scope-assessment.md` and
+`docs/IntentScopeGapAnalysis.md` priorities **18–23**. REUSE-WP-0011 delivered
+the hosted hub; this workplan closes the next INTENT↔SCOPE gaps: **cross-repo

+**Target vector after completion:** `D5 / A4 / C5 / R3` (raise completeness via
+federation breadth and planning reports; reliability unchanged until feedback
+program lands)
+
+## Assessment reference
+
+| Priority | Gap | This workplan |
+|---|---|---|
+| 18 | Sibling hub registrations | T01 |
+| 19 | `hub sync` | T02 |
+| 20 | Planning cohort reports | T03 |
+| 21 | INTENT layout sync | T04 |
+| 22 | Hub hardening | T05 |
+| 23 | External evidence program | T06 |
+
+## Suggested execution order
+
+```text
+T04 (INTENT alignment — unblocks contributors)
+  → T01 (hub membership — may wait on sibling index URLs)
+  → T02 (hub sync — after T01 proves multi-repo hub state)
+  → T03 (cohort reports — independent after query/export stable)
+  → T06 (evidence program — can parallel T03)
+  → T05 (hub hardening — document/design; implement only if requirements clear)
+```
+
+## Dependencies
+
+| Dependency | Owner | Notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| Published sibling `capabilities.yaml` URLs | Domain repos | T01 blocked per repo without raw index |
+| Production hub | RAILIANCE-WP-0007 | Live at `reuse.coulomb.social` |
+| Hub token | Operator | `reuse-surface-env` secret on Railiance01 |
+
+---
+
+## Register Sibling Repos On Hub
+
+```task
+id: REUSE-WP-0012-T01
+status: todo
+priority: high
+```
+
+Close gap priority **18**. Register at least **two** additional helix_forge repos
+on the production hub (target: `state-hub` plus one other with a published
+index URL).
+
+Deliverables:
+
+- Document index publish contract in `docs/RegistryFederation.md` (raw Gitea URL
+  shape, required fields, auth expectations)
+- Register repos via `reuse-surface hub register` against production hub
+- Verify `GET /v1/federated` shows merged capabilities with `source_repo`
+  attribution
+- Record registration evidence in workplan or `history/` note
+
+**Blocked on:** sibling repos publishing `registry/indexes/capabilities.yaml` at
+stable raw URLs.
+
+## Implement hub sync
+
+```task
+id: REUSE-WP-0012-T02
+status: todo
+priority: high
+```
+
+Close gap priority **19**. Add `reuse-surface hub sync` that writes
+`registry/federation/sources.yaml` from hub `GET /v1/repos` state.
+
+Requirements:
+
+- Preserve local-only sources optionally (`--merge` vs `--replace`)
+- Map hub fields to federation schema `url` sources
+- Document in `tools/README.md` and `docs/RegistryFederation.md`
+- Pytest coverage with mocked hub HTTP
+- `federation compose` still works offline after sync
+
+## Add Planning Cohort Reports
+
+```task
+id: REUSE-WP-0012-T03
+status: todo
+priority: medium
+```
+
+Close gap priority **20**. Extend CLI with cohort export for planning and
+implementation reuse decisions.
+
+Suggested surface:
+
+```bash
+reuse-surface report cohorts
+reuse-surface report cohorts --planning-min D5 --availability-max A1
+reuse-surface report cohorts --implementation-min A4
+```
+
+Output: Markdown or JSON listing capability IDs, vectors, and consumption modes
+matching filters. Wire into CI as a non-failing informational step or document
+as manual planning command only.
+
+Update `docs/IntentScopeGapAnalysis.md` success criteria notes when shipped.
+
+## Align INTENT With Delivered Layout
+
+```task
+id: REUSE-WP-0012-T04
+status: todo
+priority: medium
+```
+
+Close gap priority **21**. Update `INTENT.md` only (product truth unchanged):
+
+- Replace “Initial Repository Role” tree with current layout from `SCOPE.md`
+  (include `reuse_surface/`, hub, `history/`, `workplans/archived/`)
+- Fix registry entry example to use `external_evidence.*.level`
+- Add pointers to `docs/RegistryFederation.md`, `specs/FederationHubAPI.md`,
+  `history/2026-06-15-intent-scope-assessment.md`
+
+## Document Hub Hardening Path
+
+```task
+id: REUSE-WP-0012-T05
+status: todo
+priority: medium
+```
+
+Close gap priority **22**. Produce operator-facing hardening guidance without
+mandating immediate implementation.
+
+Deliverables:
+
+- `docs/deploy/reuse-kubernetes.md` section: backup (SQLite PVC), cert renewal,
+  token rotation, image promotion checklist
+- Decision note: SQLite vs Postgres cnpg — criteria for switching (multi-replica,
+  RPO/RTO). Implementation deferred unless operator requests
+- Optional: spike issue only if Postgres migration is approved
+
+Target availability narrative: clarify A5 container deployed, A6 path documented.
+
+## External Evidence Program
+
+```task
+id: REUSE-WP-0012-T06
+status: todo
+priority: low
+```
+
+Close gap priority **23**. Raise external evidence quality across the catalog.
+
+Scope:
+
+- Define minimum evidence checklist in `registry/README.md` for promoting R1→R3
+- Update **at least three** capability entries with `consumer_feedback`,
+  `known_reliability_risks`, or resolved risks where evidence exists
+- Self-assess `capability.registry.register` reliability toward R3 with hub
+  production smoke + CI as cited evidence
+- Refresh `docs/IntentScopeGapAnalysis.md` reliability section
+
+---
+
+## Acceptance
+
+- [ ] Hub federates **≥3 repos** (including reuse-surface) OR T01 documents
+      explicit blocks per sibling with owner follow-ups
+- [ ] `hub sync` materializes valid `sources.yaml` from hub state
+- [ ] `report cohorts` (or equivalent) exports planning/implementation filters
+- [ ] `INTENT.md` layout matches delivered repository structure
+- [ ] Hub hardening doc complete; backup/restore steps verified once on Railiance01
+- [ ] Gap analysis priorities 18–23 marked closed or explicitly deferred with rationale
