feat: docket construct, a ledger bootstrapped from written history - #15
Conversation
Step 1 of the construct spec: the proposal shape and the staging file. No network, no model, no ledger write. Extraction is not deterministic, so a model's own wording cannot key a record across runs. The key is sha256 over the source path and the normalized anchor, joined by a NUL that no path contains. The anchor is verbatim source text, so it survives re-extraction; normalizing it absorbs the emphasis markers that cost the spike a third of its batch-one matches. An edited source line therefore changes the key and stages the record again, which is right: the text a human accepted it against no longer exists. Scope entries must address a file. The spike returned one 600-character prose paragraph describing coverage instead of naming it, and nothing rejected it. Review order sinks records whose scope resolves to nothing, never dropping them. A stale path can mean the record is dead, and it can equally mean the record is the only surviving account of a rename.

Step 2 of the construct spec. Both run locally, around the model call rather than inside it. The anchor matcher compares normalized whole lines. A model asked to quote a line returns the words and drops the emphasis around them, which cost the spike a third of its batch-one anchors. Whole lines, never substrings: a three-word anchor matched as a substring would claim any paragraph carrying those words. Date resolution reads what the document says about itself, then its filename, then git. The spec assumed YAML front matter; the corpus has none and writes a Date: line instead, sometimes bolding it so the colon falls inside the markers. Only the head counts, because a date further down describes the subject and not the document. git_dates makes one call for the whole tree. A subprocess per file would dominate a run: 99 of the corpus's 372 documents have a date nowhere else. Measured over that corpus, with tests/test_construct_corpus.py keeping it checkable under DOCKET_CORPUS: 96.5% of documents resolve a date, and 360 of 360 sampled anchors survive emphasis stripping and respacing with no cross-document false match. Real model output also paraphrases, which that sample cannot simulate. Signed-off-by: NovusEdge <mr.nerd.study@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: NovusEdge <novusedge0@gmail.com>
Step 3 of the construct spec, local half. A per-document extraction cannot see another document, so relations need one call over the whole set. This module decides which proposed edges survive. The linker sees labelled records carrying kind, text, choice, path and date, never the anchor or rationale. That is what keeps the call small enough to fit: the spike's 61 records are about 2.8k tokens like this against the 15k words they came from. Supersession rests entirely on dates, so an edge needs a date on both records, one kind across both, and the later record pointing at the earlier. Thirteen of the corpus's 372 documents resolve no date at all, and those records can carry no supersession edge. Support stays acyclic. A new edge is refused when its head already reaches its tail. Supersession is checked separately, so a cycle there cannot block a support edge between the same pair. A failing edge drops with a message naming the reason. One wrong relation out of five hundred should not cost the other four hundred and ninety-nine. Support lands as a single justification set. Telling two independent grounds from two halves of one needs a human. Signed-off-by: NovusEdge <mr.nerd.study@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: NovusEdge <novusedge0@gmail.com>
Step 4 of the construct spec, closing it. Three separate steps: extraction stages proposals, a human reads them, acceptance writes. Collapsing them would put records in the ledger nobody approved, and approval is the one thing the ledger records. The provider is OpenRouter. The openai SDK is only the transport, pointed at openrouter.ai, so one key reaches every provider through one endpoint. The call sets provider.require_parameters so routing reaches only providers that honour json_schema, and parse() checks the response anyway: OpenRouter enforces the schema per endpoint, and some providers fall back to plain JSON silently (c83). Nothing imports the SDK at module scope, and the construct subpackage stays off the hook path entirely. Measured against main on one ledger, best of 15: 169.7ms against 172.2ms, so the subcommand costs a session start nothing. Proposals stage beside a project's own .docket when it has one. ledger_path() answers with the global store for a project whose ledger does not exist yet, which is construct's main case and nowhere a user looks for their proposals. Acceptance refuses a record whose support was not accepted. Writing it with the support dropped would turn a grounded record into a free-standing one. Signed-off-by: NovusEdge <mr.nerd.study@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: NovusEdge <novusedge0@gmail.com>
Measured on 67 real documents, the first run exposed three faults. All three were in this code, never in the model. Scope reached 21% of records against the spike's 52%, and scope decides whether a record ever surfaces in a briefing. The prompt named the field and said what it was not. It now says what it decides, shows three path shapes, and tells the model to take paths from the document's own filenames and modules. Scope now reaches 57%, and 56% of those resolve to a live file, against 28% before. One linking call over 843 records produced 23 edges. Batching keeps each document whole and caps a batch at 120 records, which raised support edges to 32 over seven calls. Supersession did not move: same-topic documents written months apart land in different batches, and that is where supersession lives. Contradictions had no path at all. Two faithful records can disagree because their sources were written months apart, so the linker now proposes `contradicts` and that becomes a question naming both. Recording a silent supersedes would pick a winner the sources do not. Three real ones surfaced. Signed-off-by: NovusEdge <mr.nerd.study@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: NovusEdge <novusedge0@gmail.com>
An AQ.-prefixed GEMINI_API_KEY works. The spike's ACCESS_TOKEN_TYPE_UNSUPPORTED came from sending it as a Bearer token to the native v1beta endpoint; the x-goog-api-key header accepts it, and so does Gemini's OpenAI-compatible endpoint with Bearer.

Return repository-relative paths from Git.
When the command runs from a repository subdirectory, git ls-files can return paths relative to that subdirectory. Construct scopes use repository-relative paths, so valid scopes can appear unresolved.
Add --full-name or run Git with cwd=env.project_root().

A partial extraction failure still feeds an incomplete proposal set into stage.merge, so the subsequent write can delete previously reviewed proposals for every failed document. Preserve existing entries for failed sources (or abort the stage update) instead of treating provider failure as successful re-extraction with zero records.

Persist the proposal-key-to-ledger-ID mapping.
ids starts empty on every invocation and only receives records written during that invocation. A dependent proposal accepted in a later sitting cannot resolve a previously written support or supersession target.
A failure after append but before stage.write also leaves the proposal accepted. The next run appends a duplicate ledger record.
Store the construct key with the ledger record or another durable mapping. Rebuild ids from that mapping before processing accepted proposals. Use the same mapping to detect records already appended after an interrupted run.
Also applies to: 99-105

Do not silently remove unresolved supersession targets.
If an accepted proposal supersedes a proposal that was not accepted, this list comprehension writes the new record without the reviewed supersession relation. The ledger then states different semantics from the staged proposal.
Require every supersession key to resolve. If any key is unresolved, skip the record and retain its accepted state, as the support path already does.

Give each contradiction question a distinct identity.
If p1 contradicts both p2 and p3, both questions use the same source path and anchor. schema.proposal therefore assigns both questions the same key. Staging and acceptance can then conflate two different questions.
Include both endpoint keys in the identity material for synthesized questions. Keep anchor verbatim for source navigation.
Based on learnings, identifier tests must verify that distinct but similar inputs do not collide.

Preserve cross-batch relation discovery.
This partition gives each proposal to exactly one batch. The linker therefore cannot discover any relation between records in different batches. Record c86 confirms that this systematically leaves supersession undetected.
Add an overlapping or global candidate pass for cross-document relations. A dedicated supersession pass can compare records across all batches without restoring one unbounded prompt.

All six risked the ledger, which is the asset this tool exists to protect. Acceptance had no transaction. A failing append committed k-1 records and wrote nothing back to the stage, so the user saw an error, reran --accept, and appended a second copy of every record already written. The stage is now written after each append. Reproduced first: three records became five. link.validate did not mirror two rules the ledger enforces on append. Support pointing at a question, and a second record superseding an already-retired target, both passed validation and then aborted the append, which is what triggered the fault above. A contradiction question borrowed the first record's anchor and source, so schema.identity keyed it identically and acceptance dropped it as a duplicate. The whole output of the contradiction path was lost with no message. identity() now takes a discriminator. normalize_anchor stripped underscores, merging set_timeout with settimeout. The corpus carries 62162 identifier underscores against 9 uses of _emphasis_, so underscores stay and only asterisks and backticks go. source.path was whatever spelling the caller used. The root now comes from the documents' own repository rather than the working directory, because reading another project's history is the main case. Absolute paths also made every git date miss, which silently disabled supersession. Acceptance wrote to env.ledger_path() while proposals staged in the project's .docket. The two now share one directory. Also: the 429 retry the spec documented did not exist, and client.backoff had no caller. Both schemas were illegal under "strict": True, listing three of six properties as required and admitting extra ones; verified against the live endpoint after the fix. invalid_scope now refuses a glob matching the whole tree, an absolute path, and one climbing out of the repository. A hand-edited stage reports the line instead of raising. link.apply keeps each ground as its own justification set, because one set means all of them are required. Review strips control characters and bounds length, since every string in a proposal came from a model.

Docket starts empty, so a project with two years of history gets nothing from it until someone records decisions by hand.
docket constructreads that history and stages proposals.It never writes to the ledger. Extraction stages, a human reads, acceptance writes — and that acceptance is the approval the ledger exists to record.
Measured against 67 real documents
Run over
context/{decisions,devlog,specs}in a real project, 699 proposals:The spec set 95% as the anchor floor and called a 20% scope resolution "building a museum". Both clear.
What the first real run got wrong
Three faults, all in this code.
Scope reached 21% of records. Scope decides whether a record ever surfaces in a briefing, so this was the number that mattered most. The prompt named the field and said what it was not. It now says what it decides, shows three path shapes, and tells the model to take paths from the document's own filenames and modules. 21% became 57%.
One linking call over 843 records produced 23 edges. Batching keeps each document whole and caps a batch at 120 records. Support edges rose to 32 over seven calls.
Contradictions had no path at all. Two faithful records can disagree because their sources were written months apart. The linker now proposes
contradicts, and that becomes a question naming both records. A silentsupersedeswould pick a winner the sources do not.Design points
The identity key is
sha256(source_path + NUL + normalized(anchor)). Extraction is not deterministic, so the model's own wording cannot key a record across runs. The anchor is verbatim source text. Editing the source line therefore changes the key and stages the record again, which is right: the text a human accepted it against no longer exists.Dates resolve from what the document says about itself, then its filename, then git — one batched git call for the whole tree. 96.5% of 372 documents resolve one. The spec assumed YAML front matter; the corpus has none and writes a
Date:line instead.Acceptance refuses a record whose support was not accepted. Writing it with the support dropped would turn a grounded record into a free-standing one.
Provider
OpenRouter is the default: one key, one OpenAI-compatible endpoint, every provider. A Gemini key selects Gemini's own compatible endpoint instead. The
openaipackage is the transport in both cases.provider.require_parametersis set on OpenRouter, because it honoursjson_schemaper endpoint and some upstreams fall back to plain JSON silently (c83).parse()checks the response regardless.litellm is rejected (
