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.

State: main at 696ed9a, next one commit ahead (d257f8f, lint in a container, issue #113). The milestone PR pull request #114 is needs-rework after its second review: the gate holds, the guard test's shell scanner does not. Release mechanism (script/release, goreleaser, tag workflow) exists and was exercised; TODO.md names the scope decision as the only remaining release step. No tag exists yet.
What the product does well: the backup, restore, verify, prune and list paths are covered by real integration tests; stdout/stderr and --json contracts are now clean; the gate cannot report an unearned green.
Blockers found in this review that had no issue, now filed:
issue #120: snapshot create shells out to a sqlite3 binary to VACUUM the metadata database, after every blob has been uploaded. A go install user without that CLI cannot complete a backup. CI is green only because script/bootstrap installs the binary; on a host without it, make check on next fails two tests with exec: "sqlite3": executable file not found. Highest priority.
issue #123: two parseDuration implementations with different grammars, and the README's --older-than 6m example means six minutes, not six months, on a command that deletes snapshots.
issue #124: restoring on a different machine, the one path a backup tool exists for, is neither documented nor tested end to end.
issue #122: CI runs only for main; nothing runs on next or on the unit PRs that target it.
issue #121: the scanner rework the second review of the milestone PR asked for, as its own unit.
For the owner: issue #125 (release scope and the post-tag index-disposability question), issue #94 (daemon mode, recommendation: after 1.0), issue #76 (package names, recommendation: keep), issue #90 and issue #101 (org-wide config and policy, not vaultik work). Decisions the record already settles I am taking myself, on issue #112 and issue #105.
Roadmap items in the README that are not 1.0 work and get no issue: parallel restore downloads, --bwlimit, restore resume, man pages, snapshot diff, the --cron notification hook.
## Review toward 1.0
State: `main` at `696ed9a`, `next` one commit ahead (`d257f8f`, lint in a container, [issue #113](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/113)). The milestone PR [pull request #114](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/pulls/114) is `needs-rework` after its second review: the gate holds, the guard test's shell scanner does not. Release mechanism (`script/release`, goreleaser, tag workflow) exists and was exercised; `TODO.md` names the scope decision as the only remaining release step. No tag exists yet.
What the product does well: the backup, restore, verify, prune and list paths are covered by real integration tests; stdout/stderr and `--json` contracts are now clean; the gate cannot report an unearned green.
Blockers found in this review that had no issue, now filed:
- [issue #120](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/120): `snapshot create` shells out to a `sqlite3` binary to VACUUM the metadata database, after every blob has been uploaded. A `go install` user without that CLI cannot complete a backup. CI is green only because `script/bootstrap` installs the binary; on a host without it, `make check` on `next` fails two tests with `exec: "sqlite3": executable file not found`. Highest priority.
- [issue #123](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/123): two `parseDuration` implementations with different grammars, and the README's `--older-than 6m` example means six minutes, not six months, on a command that deletes snapshots.
- [issue #124](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/124): restoring on a different machine, the one path a backup tool exists for, is neither documented nor tested end to end.
- [issue #122](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/122): CI runs only for `main`; nothing runs on `next` or on the unit PRs that target it.
- [issue #121](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/121): the scanner rework the second review of the milestone PR asked for, as its own unit.
Already tracked in the `1.0.0` milestone and still valid: [issue #66](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/66), [issue #67](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/67), [issue #68](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/68), [issue #70](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/70), [issue #72](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/72), [issue #73](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/73), [issue #74](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/74), [issue #75](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/75), [issue #87](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/87), [issue #96](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/96), [issue #105](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/105), [issue #112](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/112). Each has a definition of done I checked against the tree today; none is stale.
For the owner: [issue #125](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/125) (release scope and the post-tag index-disposability question), [issue #94](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/94) (daemon mode, recommendation: after 1.0), [issue #76](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/76) (package names, recommendation: keep), [issue #90](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/90) and [issue #101](https://git.eeqj.de/sneak/vaultik/issues/101) (org-wide config and policy, not vaultik work).

Roadmap items in the README that are not 1.0 work and get no issue: parallel restore downloads, `--bwlimit`, restore resume, man pages, `snapshot diff`, the `--cron` notification hook.
Dispatch order: #120, #121, #122 and the small units (#87, #96, #70, #67, #66, #75) first; then #68, #74, #123, #112, #105, #124, #72; #73 as an audit on the strongest model.
Model: fable-5-1
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.
