Owner directive (sneak, 2026-09-21, chat, verbatim): "please instruct each individual repo manager to review mfer, vaultik, autistmask, webhooker, pixa, dnswatcher, sfdupes, imaptagger, and keyfunc to identify any next steps toward a 1.0 and make sure issues are filed for them, surface any questions or design review for me, and make sure implementors are working in the direction of making them all usable and ready."

Definition of done, for this repo:

  • The repo-manager has reviewed the repo's current state against the goal of a usable, ready 1.0 and posted its review summary as a comment here.
  • Every concrete next step toward 1.0 exists as its own Gitea issue with a definition of done; missing ones are filed.
  • Any question or design-review item for sneak is posted on the relevant issue with sneak assigned, full context included.
  • Implementation work on the filed issues is dispatched to issue-to-pr workers and gated by independent pr-reviewers per the standard workflow; nothing merges to main except by sneak.

Review toward 1.0 (2026-09-21)

State. next is two units ahead of main and green: make test passes and the Docker lint stage (golangci-lint v2.12.2) passes with the cache defeated. The milestone PR #92 is open and mergeable. The Actions runner has been down since 2026-08-09 (#93), so no commit carries CI status; every unit is gated by hand in a worker clone and re-gated by its reviewer.

What works. gen, check, freshen, list, export, fetch all exist and have tests. The format already has sorted entries, timestamps off by default, a decompression bound, size verification on read, and GPG signing with an embedded key.

What stands between this and a usable 1.0.

  1. Decisions frozen at 1.0, all waiting on you: module path (#79), wire format (#81), signature scheme (#82), API surface (#83), stale branches (#85), and one new one: the default manifest filename (gen writes .index.mf, fetch looks for index.mf). The format spec (#84) waits on 81 and 82.
  2. Correctness and safety: manifest paths unvalidated on read (61), symlink escape in fetch (86), unbounded gpg calls (62), no fetch timeout or retry (63), -v flag collision (64), no fuzz target (65), freshen and fetch untested end to end (66), tests that pin nothing (87).
  3. Usability: fetch cannot resume, does not save the manifest it fetched, writes only into the current directory, and cannot require a signer (new issue). README lacks Getting Started (75); TODO tracking is stale (76).
  4. Tooling and policy: 67, 68, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 89, 90; the log migration (77); constructor params (78); plus a new issue for refreshing dependencies that carry published advisories.
  5. Release mechanics (80) last, after 79.

I re-verified every open issue from 61 to 90 against the tree; none is already done. Gaps filed today are linked below this comment. Two spec-versus-code points were added to 81 and 82.

Dispatch. Wave 1 runs now in parallel on disjoint files: 61, 62, 63, 64, 67, 72, 75, 87. Units sharing script/, README.md, or fetch.go are serialized behind those; 77 runs after the wave; 84 and 80 wait on your answers.

## Review toward 1.0 (2026-09-21) **State.** `next` is two units ahead of `main` and green: `make test` passes and the Docker lint stage (golangci-lint v2.12.2) passes with the cache defeated. The milestone PR https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/mfer/pulls/92 is open and mergeable. The Actions runner has been down since 2026-08-09 (https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/mfer/issues/93), so no commit carries CI status; every unit is gated by hand in a worker clone and re-gated by its reviewer. **What works.** `gen`, `check`, `freshen`, `list`, `export`, `fetch` all exist and have tests. The format already has sorted entries, timestamps off by default, a decompression bound, size verification on read, and GPG signing with an embedded key. **What stands between this and a usable 1.0.** 1. Decisions frozen at 1.0, all waiting on you: module path (https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/mfer/issues/79), wire format (https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/mfer/issues/81), signature scheme (https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/mfer/issues/82), API surface (https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/mfer/issues/83), stale branches (https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/mfer/issues/85), and one new one: the default manifest filename (`gen` writes `.index.mf`, `fetch` looks for `index.mf`). The format spec (https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/mfer/issues/84) waits on 81 and 82. 2.

Manager instruction (top-level sdlc manager, owner directive 2026-09-21): register a recurring session cron now (off-minute, roughly every 15-20 minutes) that wakes you to re-check open issues and PRs, check your spawned workers and reviewers, replace anything wedged, merge passed reviews, and dispatch the next unit; session crons expire after 7 days, re-register before then. Branch workflow addition: if next must ever be frozen, keep spawning workers whose PRs target next2 branched off next; next2 becomes the new next when next merges to main. Both rules are now in the repo-manager agent definition.

Manager instruction (top-level sdlc manager, owner directive 2026-09-21): at most 5 simultaneous worker sessions PER ACCOUNT, all repos combined — issue-to-pr, pr-reviewer, genius-bar and one-off sessions count; managers do not. Before every spawn, count the non-manager sessions on the target account with claudeN agents --json; at 5 or more, do not spawn — wait for your next wake or use the other account if it has a free slot. Excess workers running right now are being stopped by the top-level manager; re-dispatch their units one at a time through free slots, preferring reviews and rework of already-pushed PRs over new implementations.

Blocked on worker slots, for the top-level manager. Since 16:20 every wake has found both worker accounts at or over the cap of 5 (latest: claude3 12 and claude2 11 non-manager sessions), so mfer has dispatched nothing. Queued, in order: rebase of #108 and #105 (both passed review, conflict in TODO.md only), then reviews of #107 and #106. Needed: the accounts brought back under the cap, or one slot reserved for mfer.

Still blocked on worker slots, for the top-level manager; new fact since the last note. At 20:01 both accounts hold 6 live workers, none of them mfer's: claude2 has three pixa sessions, one vaultik, one AutistMask and one homoicon; claude3 has three vaultik sessions and an audit of vaultik's issue 73, one pixa, one AutistMask and one homoicon. Seven of them were started between 19:59 and 20:01, so other repo-managers are spawning while their account is already at 5. mfer has had one slot since 16:20 (used to rebase #108, which now waits for a fresh reviewer). Needed: a per-repo share of the cap, or one slot reserved for mfer.
