Chronology Migration Report

Track: chronology_20260619 Report date: 2026-06-20 Status: Pre-cross-check (Phase 5 of 10). Phase 8 will fill in the per-row log.

---

1. Summary

Metric	Count
Total rows in chronology.md.draft	216
Rows in conductor/tracks/ (Active)	40
Rows in conductor/archive/ (Shipped)	176
Rows removed from conductor/tracks.md	9 (4 Phase 9 + 1 Active Research + 4 Follow-up)
Notable non-track commits added	0 (filled in later or by Tier 1 manually)

Net change: tracks.md lost 9 duplicated [x] / [shipped:] entries; chronology.md (draft) gained 216 rows of canonical track history.

---

2. Counts by Status

Status values come from metadata.json status field (overrides the folder-location default per FR5). Phase 8 will normalize these to FR1's enum (Active, In Progress, Shipped, Superseded, Abandoned).

Status (raw)	Count
new	102
planned	34
shipped	27
active	17
completed	10
pending	7
in_progress	7
spec_written	3
future	2
planning	2
active (proposed 2026-06-08; awaiting Phase 1 user-answers)	1
complete	1
contingency (not active)	1
in-progress	1
spec_approved	1

Total: 216

Note: the diversity here is intentional (the project carries many status flavors in metadata.json), but for FR1's canonical chronology the values should normalize to a smaller enum. Phase 8 will document the mapping.

---

3. Counts by tracks.md Section Removed

Section	Entries removed	Notes
Phase 9: Chore Tracks	4	Replaced with one-line stub pointing to chronology.md. Entries: Unused Scripts Cleanup, License & CVE Audit, Qwen/Llama/Grok Vendor Integration, Qwen/Llama/Grok Follow-Up.
Active Research Tracks > Active	1	Section header retained as a stub pointing to chronology.md + Active Tracks table. Entry: Fable System Prompt Review (shipped 2026-06-18).
Follow-up (Planned, Not Yet Specced)	4	Entries: RAG Test Failures Fix (2026-06-15), Tier 2 Autonomous Sandbox (2026-06-16), Rename send_result to send (2026-06-17), Live GUI Test Infrastructure Fixes (2026-06-18).
Total	9

Out of scope: [x] entries in Phase 0-7 historical sections (lines 74-445 of tracks.md) were NOT pruned. Those sections are historical phase records, not duplicated listings — FR2 targets Phase 9, Active Research, and Follow-up only.

---

4. Documented Exceptions

Folder	Reason
(none yet)	Phase 9 (completeness check) will enumerate any folder without a row. Pre-cross-check the diff is expected to be empty (the script walks both folders).

The 7 folders without a slug-date suffix (5 archive + 2 PLACEHOLDER tracks) are NOT exceptions — they have rows in chronology.md.draft with the date resolved via first-commit fallback per FR1.

The 14 folders without metadata.json are also NOT exceptions — they have rows with summaries extracted from spec.md first sentence per FR5.

---

5. Notable Non-Track Commits Added

None yet. This section is filled in later (Phase 8 / Phase 9 by Tier 1 manually) for commits that aren't part of any track but a future agent reading the chronology would want to know about. Examples: one-off production fixes, infra tweaks, doc-only commits. The bar is "non-obvious work that wasn't part of a track."

7. Per-Row Cross-Check Log

Status: Phase 8 in progress. Bulk structural verification complete (216/216 rows pass). Content-quality fixes applied to 23 rows (summary extraction bug). Per-row manual verification of remaining rows continues.

Bulk Verification (Phase 8 batch 1 — automated)

scripts/audit/check_chronology_rows.py and scripts/audit/check_commit_counts.py:

Check	Rows	Pass	Fail
Folder exists	216	216	0
init_sha matches git log --reverse --format=%h	216	216	0
end_sha matches git log -1 --format=%h	216	216	0
Date format YYYY-MM-DD	216	216	0
Status field non-empty	216	216	0
Summary field non-empty	216	216	0
commit_count matches git log	216	216	0

Content Quality Fix (Phase 8 batch 1 — script + commit)

Issue: 23 rows had summaries starting with **Status:** Spec approved YYYY-MM-DD (metadata, not description of the work).

Root cause: extract_summary() picked the first non-heading line of spec.md. Many specs have **Status:** ... as the first content line.

Fix: Skip lines starting with **Status:**, **Track ID:**, **Track:**, and > (blockquote). Use the first substantive line instead.

Test added: test_summary_extraction_skips_status_metadata_line.

Script change: scripts/audit/generate_chronology.py:extract_summary.

Rows updated: 23 (all **Status:** summaries replaced with their next substantive line).

Per-Row Manual Verification

For rows NOT covered by the bulk verification (content accuracy, summary adequacy, status semantic correctness), the per-row manual verification continues. The full 9-batch × 20-row per-row check as planned in plan.md Phase 8 is the dominant work; this report tracks the structural-verification batch and the script-fix batch.

Recommendation for followup: The next agent (or human Tier 1) should run the 9-batch manual cross-check on the per-row summary adequacy — verify each row's summary describes the most important fact, trim/rewrite as needed, and log fixes here.

8. User Sign-Off

The user reviews the final chronology.md + this report + the Phase 9 completeness check. Confirms:

• (a) Format is correct (FR1: markdown table with 6 columns: Date, ID, Status, Summary, Folder, Range).
• (b) Summaries are accurate (≤ 25 words, describes the most important fact).
• (c) Commit ranges are right (init SHA + end SHA both exist, count is plausible).
• (d) Nothing was missed (every folder in tracks/ and archive/ has a corresponding row, OR is documented in §4 exceptions).

Sign-off: _____________________ Date: _____________

Appendix A: Spec/Plan Deviations

The following deviations from the original spec.md / plan.md were taken during execution:

1. Phase 4 location: The spec/plan referenced conductor/workflow.md "Notes > Editing this file" section per FR3, but that section doesn't exist in workflow.md — the actual "Editing this file" section is in conductor/tracks.md. The new 3-step convention was appended to tracks.md (where the existing convention lives) per the spec's intent. The deviation is documented inline in tracks.md.

2. Status values: The script reads metadata.json.status directly. Many values in the project use lowercase + underscored forms (active, in_progress, spec_written, etc.) that differ from FR1's expected titlecase enum (Active, In Progress, Spec Written). Phase 8 will normalize or document the mapping.

3. Documented exceptions (§4): Pre-Phase 9, no folders are missing rows. The 7 folders without slug dates and 14 folders without metadata.json are handled by the script's fallback chain, not by exception entries.

---

Appendix B: Audit Script Provenance

• Script: scripts/audit/generate_chronology.py (1 file, FR5)
• Tests: tests/test_generate_chronology.py (1 file, 5 tests, all passing)
• CLI: uv run python scripts/audit/generate_chronology.py --draft > conductor/chronology.md.draft
• Status: DRAFT-ONLY per user directive (2026-06-19). The cross-check (Phase 8) is the authority.
