Handover

Purpose

This file is the practical handoff summary for the current Codex Workspace state.

Use it after reading the core handover pack when you need to understand:

  • what has already been built
  • where the canonical docs now live
  • what remains to be done next

Canonical doc location

The canonical handover Markdown now lives in:

docs/

The shared/ folder now holds workspace metadata such as:

  • shared/repo-index.json
  • shared/standards.md

Current workspace state

The workspace foundation is in place:

  • docs/, repos/, tools/, cache/, and shared/ exist
  • shared cache placeholders exist
  • shared helper scripts exist under tools/scripts/
  • template files exist under tools/templates/
  • the handover pack now lives under docs/

Current Workspace Hub state

The repos/workspace-hub/ repo has been scaffolded and is independently runnable.

Implemented so far:

  • repo discovery across sibling repos under repos/
  • conservative repo classification
  • manifest-aware repo metadata
  • repo intake scaffolding for README.md, cover placeholders, and conditional manifest creation
  • open actions for repo, README, manifest, preview, and terminal
  • start, stop, and restart runtime controls
  • health checks for local URLs
  • persisted per-repo metadata overrides
  • manifest authoring for .workspace/project.json
  • repo-local documentation under repos/workspace-hub/docs/

Repo intake notes

The current repo intake flow in workspace-hub is intentionally conservative.

  • it uses the tracked templates in tools/templates/repo-docs/
  • it creates or normalizes README.md
  • it injects the Workspace Hub cover block and ensures a repo-local placeholder cover image exists
  • it writes .workspace/project.json only when the repo appears to need explicit runtime metadata
  • it keeps an existing manifest if one is already present
  • it does not auto-install dependencies or auto-start runtimes as part of intake

This keeps intake focused on first-pass repo clarity rather than hidden setup side effects.

Recommended pickup point

The most practical next product step is:

  1. Add repo diagnostics in workspace-hub
  2. Surface Git branch and dirty state
  3. Surface dependency-readiness warnings for repos with commands but missing installs

The next useful docs step is:

  1. Expand runtime troubleshooting and operator guidance under repos/workspace-hub/docs/

Completion review

The workspace is not fully complete against the broadest interpretation of the original roadmap.

What appears complete or substantially complete:

  • workspace foundation
  • shared tooling and caches
  • initial Workspace Hub build
  • repo discovery
  • repo detection
  • manifest support
  • core repo actions
  • runtime start or stop flows
  • persisted metadata
  • manifest authoring

What still reads as open or partial in the docs:

  • richer repo diagnostics
  • favourites and last-opened persistence
  • clearer dependency-readiness feedback
  • fuller ServBay-aware polish beyond the current optional stance
  • additional runtime troubleshooting documentation

Reading order from here

If continuing implementation, read in this order:

  1. 04-build-order-and-dod.md
  2. 03-workspace-hub-build-spec.md
  3. CHANGELOG.md
  4. ../../repos/workspace-hub/README.md if working inside the Hub repo
