Track closed per user direction with PARTIAL completion (17 of 31
tasks done; 13 deferred to followup tracks).
TRACK_COMPLETION_test_suite_cleanup_gemini_cli_removal_20260705.md
records the 12-VC status (7 PASS, 5 NOT DONE / NOT VERIFIED), the
phase-by-phase breakdown, branch state, risks, and hand-off notes.
conductor/chronology.md: Active row updated to 'Partially Completed'
with the commit range + summary of completed/deferred work.
state.toml: status = 'superseded'; current_phase kept at 1 (mid-Phase 1)
to reflect actual stopping point; new [followup_tracks] section
records the two upcoming tracks:
- vendor_ai_client_track (Front C metadata work)
- test_de_crufting_track (Front B cruft work)
- Move conductor/tracks/meta_tooling_duration_analysis_20260705/ to
conductor/archive/meta_tooling_duration_analysis_20260705/ (preserves
history as a directory rename since the spec/plan/metadata files were
uncommitted; they're added to the archive in this commit).
- Prepend the track's row to conductor/chronology.md (newest-first).
- Note: spec.md, plan.md, metadata.json, state.toml are being committed
for the first time in this archive commit. Per project convention,
spec + plan are committed at archive time per workflow.md chronology
maintenance rules.
Scripts + workflow for extracting Twitter/X posts and threads into
Markdown with associated media. Mirrors the scripts/video_analysis/
pattern. Standalone requirement: zero imports from src/, conductor/,
or scripts.video_analysis — copy-pasteable to another repo with only
gallery-dl as the external dep.
5 modules: __init__.py, error_types.py (Result[T, ErrorInfo] +
ThreadData/PostData typed dataclasses), fetch_thread.py (gallery-dl
subprocess for URLs + html.parser fallback for local HTML),
download_media.py (stdlib urllib, idempotent), render_markdown.py
(YAML front-matter + per-post sections + ./media/ links).
Reference project: C:\projects\forth\bootslop — the corpus feeds
bootslop's scripts and reference-generation pipeline. Acceptance
corpus: 8 threads (@NOTimothyLottes x6 + @VPCOMPRESSB x2) extracted
to tests/artifacts/twitter_threads_corpus/. The ?s=20 quote-share
suffix on the @VPCOMPRESSB URLs must be stripped by fetch_thread.py
before acquisition (added to FR2 as URL normalization).
5 phases / 23 tasks. 8 verification criteria (VC1-VC8). TDD red-first
on the pure-function modules (render_markdown, types, media naming).
Deleted scripts/audit/generate_chronology.py + chronology_quality_gate.py
after repeated corruption incidents (auto-classifier drifted from
user intent, silently rewrote rows). chronology.md is now maintained
by hand: add a row at the top when a track ships/abandons/is archived.
Updated conductor/workflow.md §Chronology Maintenance and
conductor/tracks.md §Archiving a track to reflect manual maintenance.
Added 40 rows to conductor/chronology.md for the 2026-07-05 archive
batch, with archive-folder paths and deferral notes where applicable.
Removed 12 archived-track rows from conductor/tracks.md Active Tracks
table (rows 2, 3, 7c, 16, 17, 23b, 23c, 23d, 25, 26, 29, 29c) and
their track-detail anchors.
Wrote docs/reports/ARCHIVE_REVIEW_20260705.md: a categorized index
of unfinished work items from the archived tracks' state.toml files
that remain relevant to the codebase, with a ranked follow-up list.
