Project Tracks

This file tracks all major tracks for the project. Each track has its own detailed plan in its respective folder (or in ../archive/<track_name>/ for completed tracks).

Structure:

• Active Tracks (Current Queue): In-flight and unblocked work the implementer can pick up today.
• Standby / Pending Spec: Tracks with spec TBD or pending decision.
• Full project history: see chronology.md (the canonical index of all tracks: active, shipped, superseded, abandoned, sorted newest-first with git-history-evidence-backed status).

Archive directories live at ../archive/<track_name>/ (from this file's location at conductor/tracks.md).

Active Tracks (Current Queue)

Tracks that are unblocked and ready to start. Ordered by dependency (blocked-by first) and priority (A foundational → D forward-looking).

#	Priority	Track	Status	Blocked By

3	A	Data-Oriented Error Handling (Fleury Pattern)	Completed (per chronology.md) — archive candidate	test_infrastructure_hardening_20260609 (merged), qwen_llama_grok
4	A	MCP Architecture Refactor (Sub-MCP Extraction)	spec ✓, plan pending	test_infrastructure_hardening_20260609 (merged), data_oriented_error_handling, data_structure_strengthening
16	A	Test Sandbox Hardening	spec ✓, plan ✓, ready to start	(none)
17	A	Code Path Audit	Completed (per chronology.md) — archive candidate	test_infrastructure_hardening_20260609 (merged), any_type_componentization (shipped), phase2_4_5_call_site_completion (shipped)
22b	A	Meta-Tooling Workflow Review	spec ✓, plan ✓, parked	(none)
23	A	Intent-Based Scripting Languages Survey	spec ✓, plan pending	(none)
25	B	Fable System Prompt Review	spec ✓, plan pending	(none)
26	A	Video Analysis Campaign (Pass 1 of 3)	scaffolded; awaiting Phase 0 tooling	(none)
29	A	Video Analysis De-obfuscation Campaign (Pass 2 of 3)	scaffolded; awaits USER action item	(none)
29c	A	Pass 3 — C11/Python Projection	spec DRAFT pending user review	deob_apply (shipped), lexicon_v2 (shipped), c11_reference (shipped)
7	—	UI Polish (Five Issues)	spec ✓, plan ✓, ready to start	(none)
7c	B	SQLite-Granularity Inline Docs for ai_client.py	spec ✓, plan ✓, ready to start	(none)
19	—	Context First Message Fix	spec TBD	(none)

Stale-row cleanup (2026-07-02): rows 2, 3, 17 marked Completed per conductor/chronology.md (which is the canonical status source). They are retained here as archive candidates pending a git mv to conductor/archive/. data_structure_strengthening_20260606 (also Completed per chronology) was already dropped from this table.

Notes

Archive link convention: ./archive/... paths resolve to conductor/archive/... (this file is at conductor/tracks.md).

Status legend:

• [ ] not started
• [~] in progress
• [x] completed (track may still be in tracks/ or may have been moved to archive/)
• ~~**...**~~ struck-through (renamed/replaced/superseded)

Naming convention: Each track's spec.md and plan.md (where present) follow the project's standard format: spec.md for design intent (the "why"), plan.md for executable tasks (the "how").

Editing this file: When you mark a track as [x] and move its folder to archive/, remove its row from the Active Tracks table (its history is in chronology.md). When you start a new track, create the folder under tracks/ first, then add the entry to the Active Tracks table.

Archiving a track (3 steps): When a track ships and its folder moves from conductor/tracks/<id>/ to conductor/archive/<id>/, complete all 3 steps in order:

1. Move the folder: git mv conductor/tracks/<id> conductor/archive/<id> (preserves history as a rename).
2. Remove the row from this file (conductor/tracks.md).
3. Run uv run python scripts/audit/generate_chronology.py --draft > conductor/chronology.md to regenerate the chronology (the new row appears automatically). Commit with docs(chronology): regenerate after <track-id> shipped. Run uv run python -m scripts.audit.chronology_quality_gate --strict before committing to verify the quality gate passes.
