STATE-WP-0067 — Attached Repo Agent Instruction And Workplan Frontmatter Normalization

Goal

Close drift introduced by the State Hub agent-instruction template sync across attached repos. Agent files were regenerated with a first-token workplan prefix (artifact-store → ARTIFACT-WP) and domain: infotech, while existing workplan files retain repo-specific prefixes (ARTIFACT-STORE-WP, IRP-WP, …) and legacy frontmatter (domain: stack where stack is the topic slug).

Per ADR-001, workplan files are the source of truth. Agent instructions must match on-disk workplan prefixes and frontmatter conventions; workplans are renamed only when a repo has no established prefix yet.

Context

• scripts/update_agent_instruction_files.py derives {WP_PREFIX} from the first hyphen segment of the repo slug. That is wrong for most registered repos (35+ use intentional abbreviations).
• Template sync left ~49 repos with local changes (discover via cd ~ && gitea ll, or scan git status --porcelain under ~/).
• Task status canon (STATE-WP-0052) is already reflected in regenerated agent files; workplan task blocks may still use legacy literals.
• domain in workplan frontmatter should be the hub domain slug (infotech), not the topic slug (stack). Topic linkage belongs in topic_slug.

Policy

Layer	Rule
Workplan prefix	Infer from existing workplans/*-WP-NNNN-*.md filenames; fall back to first-token only when no workplans exist
domain frontmatter	Set to repo domain_slug from State Hub registration
topic_slug frontmatter	Set from registered topic_id when present
Task status in workplan blocks	in_progress→progress, blocked→wait, cancelled/canceled→cancel
Agent files	Regenerated from templates using inferred prefix — never overwrite <!-- REPO-AGENTS-EXTENSIONS --> tail
Grandfathered prefixes	Short prefixes (IRP-WP, CYA-WP, …) are canonical for their repo — not migrated to first-token

T01 — Inventory repos with local changes

id: STATE-WP-0067-T01
status: progress
priority: high

Enumerate repos with uncommitted changes under /home/worsch/*/.

Done when the dirty-repo list is recorded in the T04 run log.

T02 — Infer workplan prefix from on-disk files

id: STATE-WP-0067-T02
status: progress
priority: high

Update scripts/update_agent_instruction_files.py to infer {WP_PREFIX} from existing workplan filenames before falling back to first-token derivation.

Done when artifact-store agent files reference ARTIFACT-STORE-WP, not ARTIFACT-WP.

T03 — Workplan frontmatter normalization script

id: STATE-WP-0067-T03
status: progress
priority: high

Add scripts/normalize_attached_repo_workplans.py to:

• set domain: to registered domain_slug;
• set topic_slug: from registered topic when missing or wrong;
• migrate legacy task status literals inside ```task blocks.

Support --repo SLUG and --dirty (scan ~/ for porcelain).

T04 — Apply normalization to dirty repos

id: STATE-WP-0067-T04
status: todo
priority: high

For each dirty repo:

1. normalize_attached_repo_workplans.py --repo <slug>
2. update_agent_instruction_files.py --repo <slug> (after T02 filter added)
3. make fix-consistency REPO=<slug> from ~/state-hub

Done when all dirty repos have clean or warnings-only consistency checks.

T05 — Commit and push

id: STATE-WP-0067-T05
status: todo
priority: high

Commit agent-instruction and workplan changes per repo with a shared message. Push to origin where a remote exists.

Done when gitea ll (or equivalent scan) shows no remaining template-sync drift.

T06 — Close workplan

id: STATE-WP-0067-T06
status: todo
priority: medium

Mark tasks done, set workplan status: finished, run make fix-consistency REPO=state-hub.

Acceptance Criteria

• Agent instructions and workplan files agree on prefix and domain/topic fields for every dirty repo.
• artifact-store keeps ARTIFACT-STORE-WP-* filenames and IDs.
• No domain: stack remains where domain_slug is infotech and stack is the topic slug.
• Dirty repos are committed; hub read model refreshed via fix-consistency.
