+
+## Files Changed
+
+| File | Action | What was done |
+|------|--------|----------------|
+| `src/domain/hackathon/argument.ts` | Created | Classifies a bare `/hackathon` argument as slug or URL |
+| `src/domain/hackathon/url.ts` | Created | SSRF-style guard (scheme/userinfo/port/IP-literal/single-label/private-suffix) and normalization key |
+| `src/domain/hackathon/slug.ts` | Created | Base slug derivation (NFKD, 40-char cap) and collision-suffix attempts |
+| `src/domain/hackathon/extraction.ts` | Created | Strict schema validation of the LLM's extracted fields, null-over-guess, bounded verbatim snippet |
+| `src/domain/hackathon/suggest.ts` | Created | Deterministic token-overlap repo suggestions, top 3 |
+| `src/domain/hackathon/format.ts` | Created | Plain-text formatting for a stored analysis and the `/hackathons` listing |
+| `src/domain/text-limit.ts` | Created | `joinLinesWithinLimit` — generalized from the existing `/repos` truncation pattern |
+| `test/domain/hackathon/*.test.ts` | Created | 41 tests covering the 6 hackathon domain modules |
+| `test/domain/text-limit.test.ts` | Created | 4 tests for the shared truncation helper |
+| `openspec/changes/hackathon-analysis/tasks.md` | Modified | Phase 1 tasks marked `[x]` |
+
+## Deviations from Design
+
+- **Snippet cap**: the task doc says "snippet ≤160 verbatim"; the llm-extraction spec says "at most 200 characters." Implemented per the spec (200), since specs are the acceptance criteria of record. The 160-char figure is used only in the test's "long snippet" case to prove the cap fires below 200.
+- No other deviations. `assertSafeUrl`'s IP/private-suffix coverage matches the page-fetch spec's named scenarios (loopback, RFC1918, link-local/metadata `169.254.x.x`) plus design.md's "single-label and private suffixes" categories; DNS rebinding remains an accepted residual risk per design.md's Threat Matrix (this module only inspects the literal string/hostname, as domain code must).
+
+## Issues Found
+
+None.
+
+## Remaining Tasks (not in this batch)
+
+- [ ] Phase 2: Ports, Errors, `analyzeHackathon` (PR2)
+- [ ] Phase 3: `requestHackathonAnalysis` + `runHackathonJob` (PR3)
+- [ ] Phase 4: Show, Link, List Use Cases (PR4)
+- [ ] Phase 5: Migration + D1 Repos (PR5)
+- [ ] Phase 6: Static Fetcher (PR6)
+- [ ] Phase 7: Rendered (Browser) Fetcher (PR7)
+- [ ] Phase 8: Workers AI Extractor + GitHub Metadata (PR8)
+- [ ] Phase 9: Queue Adapter, Consumer Wiring, Handler Tests (PR9)
+- [ ] Phase 10: Publisher, Commands, Env, Wrangler (PR10)
+- [ ] Phase 11: Operator Rollout (manual, not performed by apply)
+
+## Workload / PR Boundary
+
+- Mode: chained PR slice (stacked-to-main, per tasks.md's Chain strategy)
+- Current work unit: PR1 (Phase 1 — Domain Foundation)
+- Boundary: starts from a clean `feat/hackathon-domain` branch off `main` (post-PR#19 merge); ends with all 7 hackathon domain modules created, Phase 1 tasks marked `[x]`, full suite and typecheck green.
+- Estimated review budget impact: **exceeds the 400-line guard**. `git diff --stat main` reports 882 insertions + 11 deletions (tasks.md checkbox edits) = 893 changed lines, well above the forecast's ~350 estimate and the 400-line budget. This is reported as-is per the instruction to flag but not self-split; the maintainer should decide whether to split this PR further or accept it with `size:exception`.
+
+## Status
+
+11/11 Phase 1 tasks complete. Ready for `sdd-verify` on this slice, or for the next `sdd-apply` batch (Phase 2) once PR1 is reviewed/merged per the stacked-to-main chain strategy.
+
+## PR1 correction (frozen ledger fixes, reviewed at HEAD 233852f)
+
+One correction transaction applied against the ledger findings corroborated for `feat/hackathon-domain`. Strict TDD followed for each fix: RED (new/rewritten test, confirmed failing) → GREEN (implementation) → full-suite/typecheck confirmation.
+
+| Finding | RED evidence | GREEN evidence |
+|---|---|---|
+| **RISK-002** — trailing root dot (`localhost.`, `foo.localhost.`, `metadata.google.internal.`) bypassed `assertSafeUrl` | Added 4 tests to `test/domain/hackathon/url.test.ts` (`localhost.` refused, private-suffix-with-dot refused, public-host-with-dot still accepted, plus the RISK-003 case below). `npx vitest run test/domain/hackathon/url.test.ts test/domain/hackathon/extraction.test.ts` → 3 of the 4 new URL cases failed (`ok: true` returned instead of the expected refusal) before the fix | Stripped one trailing `.` from `hostname` in `assertSafeUrl` before the localhost/IP-literal, single-label, and private-suffix checks. Re-ran the same command → all 27 tests in both files passed |
+| **RISK-003** — `0.0.0.0` allowed through `isUnsafeIpv4` | Added `refuses the 0.0.0.0 unspecified address` test | Added `if (a === 0) return true;` (refuse the whole `0.0.0.0/8` block) ahead of the existing loopback/RFC1918 checks in `isUnsafeIpv4`. Confirmed green in the same run above |
+| **RELI-001 / RESI-001** — `validateExtraction` did not check `candidate.value` against each field's declared type (string teamSize, numeric name, `undefined` value all passed as `ok: true`) | Added 3 tests to `test/domain/hackathon/extraction.test.ts` (string `teamSize`, numeric `name`, `undefined` value) — all 3 failed pre-fix (returned `ok: true` with the bad value stored instead of `invalid-shape`) | Added `hasValidFieldType(name, value)` — `teamSize` must be a finite `number`; every other field must be a `string` — and folded it into the existing shape guard so any field failing type-check rejects the **whole response** as `invalid-shape`, consistent with the file's existing "invalid shape rejects the whole response" semantics (kept, did not switch to per-field null) |
+| **RELI-002** — the "snippet exceeds limit" test used a 197-char snippet that was also not verbatim on the page, so it passed for the wrong reason; title said 160 instead of 200 | Rewrote the test with a snippet that IS verbatim in `pageText` and is exactly 201 chars (asserted `toHaveLength(201)` and `pageText.includes(over)` before the behavioral assertion), renamed to "exceeds 200 characters"; added a new boundary test asserting an exactly-200-char verbatim snippet is kept, not nulled | Both tests passed immediately against the existing `sanitizeField` (`field.snippet.length > SNIPPET_MAX` with `SNIPPET_MAX = 200`) — no production change was needed for RELI-002, only the test rewrite, confirming the length guard was already correct and the old test was a false positive |
+
+### Full-suite and typecheck evidence (after all 3 correction commits)
+- `npx vitest run` → 45 files, **400/400 tests passed** (0 failed)
+- `npm run typecheck` → clean, no errors
