Add comprehensive commit history analysis and GitHub Project items generation

[Copilot]

Reverse-engineered all 17 commits into 109 actionable GitHub Project items with full work product breakdown, creating a hindsight copy of the project's development history.

Deliverables

Import-Ready Formats

• github-project-import.csv - 110 rows, direct import to GitHub Projects
• github-project-items.json - 109 items with acceptance criteria, API-ready

Documentation (168KB across 7 files)

• INDEX.md - Master navigation and quick start guide
• COMMIT_ANALYSIS.md (47KB) - Technical deep dive per commit with work products, deliverables, acceptance criteria
• EXECUTIVE_SUMMARY.md - Strategic overview with recommendations, risk assessment, market positioning
• VISUAL_TIMELINE.md - ASCII development timeline with statistics, patterns, velocity metrics
• PROJECT_ITEMS_README.md - Quick reference with milestone breakdown and import instructions

Analysis Scope

17 commits (Jan 8-11, 2026) → 109 project items
~15,778 LOC across 47 files
24 commands implemented
322 test cases documented
6 milestones identified

Milestone Distribution

• Foundation (10 items) - Core infrastructure, data models, 9 commands
• Enhanced Visualization (9 items) - Tree views, hierarchy management
• Activity Management (15 items) - Dashboard, progress tracking, versioned details
• Organization & Filtering (14 items) - Tags, batch operations
• Advanced Features (15 items) - Search, merge, clone, undo, 322 tests
• Release & Distribution (46 items) - CI/CD, documentation, feature enhancements

Structure

Each project item includes title, status, milestone, labels, commit hash, description, and (in JSON) acceptance criteria. Items categorized by type: feature (44%), command (27%), docs (22%), test (7%), ci (5%), others.

Usage

Import CSV directly to GitHub Projects or use JSON for programmatic integration. Documents serve multiple audiences: INDEX for quick orientation, COMMIT_ANALYSIS for technical depth, EXECUTIVE_SUMMARY for stakeholders, VISUAL_TIMELINE for metrics.

Original prompt

Do a deep analysis of every single commit starting with the first one. What I'm looking for is source material for you to create get hub project items based on what's in each commit. I essentially want to reverse engineer each commits work products so that we can produce produce a hindsight copy of the project.

@copilot Can you import it yourself?

@copilot Can you import it yourself?

I don't have access to GitHub Projects API or web interface to import the items directly. However, I've created the files to make it easy for you:

To import via GitHub web interface:

1. Go to your repository → Projects tab
2. Create a new project (or open existing)
3. Click "..." menu → Import
4. Upload github-project-import.csv

Alternative - Manual API approach:
If you want to automate it, you can use GitHub CLI or API with the github-project-items.json file. The JSON includes all 109 items with structured data.

Would you like me to create a script that uses GitHub CLI (gh) to import the items programmatically?
