# Workstream 6 Implementation Plan — Per-Artifact Analyze Checkpointing
## Status
Planning document for Workstream 6, **Per-artifact analyze checkpointing and
recovery**, in [`refactoring.md`](refactoring.md). Workstreams 1 through 5 are
complete and are prerequisites for this plan. All stages below are pending and
must be implemented in numerical order.
The purpose of this workstream is to make analyze a deterministic resumable
artifact queue backed only by the session manifest. If artifacts A and B
succeed, C fails, and D is not attempted, A and B must remain reusable, C must
be retried, and D must follow after C succeeds. The implementation must remove
the current end-of-stage analyze projection and rollback machinery rather than
building checkpointing alongside it as a second durable model.
## Authoritative Scope And Decisions
The authoritative product and architecture scope is Workstream 6, the
dependency relationships, compatibility intent, and consolidated target state
in [`refactoring.md`](refactoring.md). Supporting decisions are H04, H14, H15,
H36, H37, C02, and C03 in [`audit-decisions.md`](audit-decisions.md), with the
detailed rationale in H36 and H37 of [`audit.md`](audit.md) and Finding 3 of
[`contract-audit.md`](contract-audit.md).
The following decisions are fixed for this implementation:
- Keep analyze as one fixed pipeline stage in `internal/stage`; per-artifact
work does not become dynamic pipeline stages or a generic workflow engine.
- Keep the session manifest's `analyze_artifacts` collection as the only durable
per-artifact authority. Do not introduce an invocation collection, journal,
sidecar, database, or replacement run manifest.
- Use the existing `stage.Env.ManifestStore` and the canonical session-manifest
path for checkpoints. Production execution already supplies that store and
holds the session lock for the entire `Stage.Run` call. Do not add a callback
framework or expose application lifecycle types to `internal/stage`.
- Checkpoint a copy-on-write candidate manifest. Validate and save the candidate
before installing its analyze collection into the live in-memory manifest.
A failed current-record checkpoint must never make newly materialized bytes
authoritative through a later terminal save.
- Persist the reconciled starting collection before the first adapter call when
it changes durable authority. This removes obsolete records and stales
scheduled or invalid current records before replacement work begins.
- For every successful artifact: validate and materialize its canonical output,
construct and validate its current record, update the runtime catalog, stale
transitive dependents when output identity changed, checkpoint the complete
session collection, and only then attempt the next artifact.
- For an artifact failure: retain earlier successful checkpoints, replace the
active artifact with a bounded failed record, stale its current transitive
dependents, and expose that collection on the live manifest. The application
runner remains responsible for marking aggregate analyze failed, invalidating
publish/notify, and atomically persisting the terminal manifest before the
command returns the error.
- If persistence of a successful-artifact checkpoint fails, stop immediately.
Keep the last durable collection, mark the active artifact failed in the live
collection without promoting its incidental output, and let the runner's
terminal failure save make that retry state durable when storage permits.
- Preserve the existing deterministic work planner, reconciliation,
fingerprints, evidence validation, dependency order, and current-output
identity comparison. File presence alone never creates authority.
- Preserve artifact selection and force behavior. With no `--artifacts`, the
effective configured set is targeted. With `--artifacts`, only the named
targets and their required dependency closure participate. Force reruns
explicit targets; a valid current prerequisite is reused unless it is itself
explicit or becomes non-current through dependency work. Unrelated valid
records are retained.
- On aggregate success, return ordinary `StageResult.Outputs` rebuilt in
deterministic normalized artifact-key order from all current session analyze
records. Per-artifact records retain their own logs, generated configuration
references, bounded Scriptorium provenance, and evidence; aggregate logs and
metadata continue to describe the current invocation.
- On aggregate failure, aggregate outputs remain empty. Earlier current
per-artifact records remain available to a later analyze run, but publish and
notify are invalidated by the existing application-stage dependency relation.
- A crash or cancellation after a successful checkpoint may leave aggregate
analyze `running` or later normalized to `interrupted`; the next ordinary run
must reconcile the durable collection, reuse valid completed artifacts, and
continue with the first failed, stale, or missing artifact.
- Keep the manifest schema and analyze-state contract version unchanged. This
work changes persistence timing and removes an internal projection transport;
it does not introduce a new serialized representation.
- Do not enter Workstream 7 configuration decomposition, Workstream 8 publish
locks/decomposition, or Workstream 9 cleanup-stage work.
## Instructions For Every Stage
Before each stage:
1. Read `docs/development.md`, every document under `docs/policy/`, this plan,
and Workstream 6 in [`refactoring.md`](refactoring.md). Read the decision
entries and audit sections named above; do not re-audit unrelated findings.
2. Read [`../internal/stage-analyze.md`](../internal/stage-analyze.md) and
[`../internal/manifest.md`](../internal/manifest.md), then inspect the
production files and focused tests named by the stage.
3. Prefer the codebase knowledge graph for Go symbol discovery and call tracing.
Use text search for serialized fields, documentation, fixtures, and removal
of projection terminology.
4. Confirm the worktree state and preserve unrelated changes. Do not begin a
later workstream merely because adjacent code is visible.
During every stage:
- Keep the repository compiling and focused tests passing. A temporary private
delegation or projection bridge is permitted only where the next numbered
stage explicitly removes it; do not leave two durable authorities active.
- Preserve package ownership and acyclic dependency direction. Keep new types
private and cohesive; do not add public extension points.
- Keep all tests deterministic, offline, and independent of real Scriptorium or
paid APIs. Prefer the existing fake runner, real temporary filesystem, and a
small recording/failing manifest store only where checkpoint interaction is
itself the contract.
- Assert persisted manifest state, adapter calls, dependency order, and retry
behavior. Do not pin private helper choreography, complete error wording, or
incidental timestamps.
- Preserve bounded, non-secret errors and diagnostics. Never place prompt or
transcript content, variables containing secrets, or raw credentials in new
manifest fields or error assertions.
- Use `gofmt` on changed Go files, run the focused tests listed for the stage,
and run `git diff --check`. Mark a stage `Completed` only after its exit
criteria pass.
## Stage 1 — Decompose The Single-Artifact Transaction
**Status:** Completed
### Goal
Make one artifact execution understandable and independently reviewable before
changing its persistence timing. This stage is behavior-preserving.
### Required Work
1. Refactor `executeAnalyzeArtifact` in `internal/stage/analyze.go` into one
short transaction owner plus private phases with explicit intermediate
values. Keep the existing `analyzeExecutionContext` and artifact plan, or
replace them with equally narrow private values; do not restore the former
broad parameter list.
2. Separate these concerns without changing their order or contracts:
- input identity resolution, omitted optional inputs, reused-current input
reporting, Scriptorium variables, timeout, canonical/run-local paths, and
request/diagnostic path preparation;
- optional render-debug invocation and validation;
- Scriptorium artifact invocation and adapter failure adaptation;
- authoritative output-path selection, bounded non-empty regular-file
validation, output-contract construction, canonical materialization, and
installed-checksum verification; and
- result/evidence construction, including provenance, logs, generated
configuration paths, metadata, output size, and reused artifacts.
3. Place the extracted code in focused analyze-owned files when that improves
navigation. Suggested responsibilities are preparation, adapter invocation,
and validated materialization/evidence; exact private filenames are not a
contract.
4. Keep Scriptorium request and response types inside the stage/adapter boundary.
Do not move Narratio artifact, manifest, path, or metadata policy into the
Scriptorium adapter.
5. Preserve the current run-local-before-canonical materialization boundary,
render-debug behavior, useful error context, workspace modes, centralized
size limit, and checksum comparison. Do not weaken validation or add a new
write path while moving code.
6. Retain existing behavior tests at their stable boundaries. Consolidate only
tests that become purely coupled to moved private helpers; do not add one
test per extracted function.
### Exit Criteria
- `executeAnalyzeArtifact` reads as a short ordered transaction over explicit
phases and no longer mixes all preparation, invocation, materialization, and
evidence construction in one large function.
- Existing analyze request, render, validation, materialization, provenance,
and failure behavior is unchanged.
- `go test ./internal/stage ./internal/adapters/scriptorium` succeeds.
- `git diff --check` succeeds.
## Stage 2 — Establish Session-Only Analyze Execution State
**Status:** Completed
### Goal
Replace `analyzeStage.Run`'s parallel local collections with one private
session-oriented execution state that is ready to checkpoint, while retaining
the existing end-of-stage persistence boundary temporarily.
### Required Work
1. Introduce a private analyze execution state/accumulator that owns:
- the shared execution context and deterministic work plan;
- the complete reconciled session artifact collection;
- prior current records needed for output-identity comparison;
- the evaluated/scheduled key set used for dependent invalidation;
- the mutable runtime artifact catalog; and
- invocation-only aggregate logs, generated configurations, generated
metadata, reused-artifact metadata, and its deduplication set.
2. Keep setup, reconciliation, work planning, adapter-availability validation,
deterministic iteration, and final `StageResult` assembly visible in
`analyzeStage.Run`. Move per-item state mutation and diagnostic collection
behind narrow methods on the private state; do not turn the accumulator into
a service locator.
3. Rename `analyzeWorkPlan.ProjectedRecords`, `projectedAnalyzeRecords`, and
related private terminology to describe the reconciled starting session
collection. It is the candidate durable state, not an invocation projection.
Preserve the planner's read-only behavior and existing classification.
4. Make the accumulator install its complete collection into the passed session
manifest on success and its failed/staled collection on error. During this
stage, continue returning the existing `AnalyzeStateProjection` as a
temporary compatibility bridge for the application runner; both views must
be derived from the same collection, and no additional save is introduced.
5. Add optional `ProducerRunID` provenance to `artifacts.Ref`. Update the
generic application result mapper to use that value when it is non-empty and
otherwise retain the current behavior of assigning the active run ID. This
is data needed by ordinary stage-result transport, not an analyze-specific
branch; cover both explicit and fallback behavior in the mapper tests.
6. Add a private helper that deterministically converts all current analyze
records into ordinary `artifacts.Ref` outputs. Preserve source ID, relative
path, contract, checksum, and producer run ID. Include valid current records
retained outside a partial selection; do not include stale, missing, or
failed records. Continue using the projection path for aggregate outputs
until Stage 3 switches ownership.
7. Rewrite stage tests to inspect the manifest collection mutated by the real
analyze stage rather than manually installing returned projections. Retain a
minimal assertion that the temporary projection matches that collection so
the transition cannot silently diverge.
### Exit Criteria
- `analyzeStage.Run` coordinates one private session collection rather than
parallel record and diagnostic variables.
- Planning/reconciliation remains read-only, execution order and force/selection
behavior are unchanged, and stage tests primarily assert manifest state.
- Ordinary `StageResult.Outputs` can preserve a reused artifact's original
producer run identity without an analyze-specific application path.
- The existing application projection path still functions and no checkpoint
timing has changed yet.
- `go test ./internal/stage ./internal/app` succeeds.
- `git diff --check` succeeds.
## Stage 3 — Cut Analyze Over To Durable Per-Artifact Checkpoints
**Status:** Completed
### Goal
Make each validated artifact completion durable before later artifact work and
stop using the end-of-stage projection transport for real analyze execution.
### Required Work
1. Add a private analyze checkpoint operation in `internal/stage`. It must:
- require a non-nil session manifest, analyze stage record, and
`Env.ManifestStore` when analyze has state to persist;
- derive the canonical manifest path through `artifacts` helpers from the
resolved workspace, campaign, and session identity;
- validate the full candidate collection with
`manifest.ValidateAnalyzeArtifactCollection`;
- shallow-copy the manifest, clone the top-level stage map, copy the analyze
stage record, and deep-clone the candidate analyze collection so the save
cannot mutate live authority before success;
- preserve the aggregate analyze status (normally `running`) and every
unrelated manifest field;
- save the candidate through `Env.ManifestStore`; and
- only after success, install the candidate analyze version/collection and
the store-updated manifest timestamp into the live manifest.
Do not add a general manifest transaction framework or JSON round-trip clone.
2. Before invoking the first scheduled artifact, checkpoint the reconciled
starting collection when it differs from durable state. This must remove
records for removed configuration and stale any selected/forced/non-current
authority before replacement work begins. If this save fails, invoke no
adapter.
3. For each scheduled artifact, preserve this order:
- compute its execution fingerprint;
- execute the decomposed artifact transaction;
- construct and validate its current manifest record;
- prove the generated record can be added to the runtime catalog for use by
later dependents;
- stale unscheduled transitive dependents only when prior and replacement
output identities differ;
- checkpoint the complete updated session collection; and
- only then expose the result to a later artifact.
4. If a successful artifact's checkpoint fails, stop immediately and do not
call the next artifact. Build a failed record for the active artifact from
the last committed collection, with no output authority; stale its current
transitive dependents; and install that failure candidate in memory so the
runner's terminal save can persist retry state. Return the checkpoint
failure with artifact identity and manifest context.
5. Have real analyze execution return ordinary `StageResult.Outputs` built from
every current session record plus its existing aggregate diagnostics and
metadata. Stop returning `AnalyzeStateProjection` from `analyzeStage.Run`.
The legacy projection type and application handlers may remain only as dead
transitional code until Stage 4; add no new uses.
6. In `executeSelectedStage`, make a terminal save failure after any stage's
apparent success mark that stage failed and invalidate succeeded transitive
dependents before terminal persistence. This behavior currently occurs only
on the analyze-projection branch; it must remain correct when real analyze no
longer returns a projection and should be correct generically.
7. Update direct analyze fixtures so they supply a real temporary
`manifest.LocalStore`, complete campaign/run identity, an aggregate analyze
record in the state appropriate to the test, and an initially persisted
manifest. Keep unit-only planner/reconciliation tests free of persistence.
8. Add focused checkpoint tests at the stage/application boundary:
- the manifest store observes A current before B is invoked and A+B current
before C is invoked;
- a failed B checkpoint prevents C from being invoked;
- the failed B checkpoint never persists B as current merely because its
canonical file exists; and
- final aggregate success exposes outputs for all and only current records
in deterministic normalized artifact-key order, preserving each record's
producer run identity.
### Exit Criteria
- Every successful scheduled artifact is durable before the next adapter call.
- A checkpoint failure stops later work and cannot promote incidental output.
- Real analyze execution no longer relies on an end-of-stage state projection.
- Aggregate success/failure persistence and dependent invalidation remain
application-owned and correct.
- `go test ./internal/stage ./internal/app ./internal/manifest` succeeds.
- `git diff --check` succeeds.
## Stage 4 — Complete Failure Recovery And Remove Projection Machinery
**Status:** Pending
### Goal
Complete the A/B/C/D recovery contract and delete the superseded projection,
validation, application, and rollback paths.
### Required Work
1. On any artifact-specific failure—including fingerprinting, preparation,
render, adapter execution, result validation, materialization, evidence
construction, catalog admission, or checkpoint persistence—construct one
bounded failed record for the active key, clear its output authority, and
stale current transitive dependents. Preserve unrelated current records and
all earlier successfully checkpointed records.
2. Install the failed/staled collection on the live manifest before returning
the artifact error. The runner must then use its ordinary stage-error path to
mark aggregate analyze failed, clear aggregate outputs, invalidate publish
and notify, and persist the terminal session manifest. Join a terminal save
failure with the originating artifact/checkpoint error; never replace the
useful cause.
3. Ensure unattempted artifacts behave according to existing authority:
previously absent records remain absent/missing on reconciliation; unrelated
valid current records remain current; and a prior current record that
depends directly or transitively on the failed artifact becomes stale with
no output authority.
4. Remove `AnalyzeStateProjection` from `stage.StageResult`, delete
`internal/app/analyze_projection.go`, and remove all validation, cloning,
application, capture, rollback, and special output reconstruction that exists
solely for that projection. Remove fake projection stages and projection-only
tests; replace their meaningful risks with real analyze checkpoint/recovery
coverage.
5. Simplify `executeSelectedStage` to its generic result/error handling while
preserving analyze's live manifest collection across aggregate lifecycle
clearing. Do not add a type assertion, stage-name branch, callback, or new
result union to replace the projection special case.
6. Add a durable assembled-run regression for the approved scenario:
- configure deterministic A, B, C, and D work in dependency order;
- make A and B succeed, C fail, and verify D is not attempted;
- reload the manifest and verify A/B current, C failed, aggregate analyze
failed, and the correct missing/stale state for D;
- run again without force, verify only C and then D execute, and verify the
final aggregate and all selected records are current; and
- verify valid unrelated records and upstream transcript stages were never
invalidated or rerun.
7. Add focused variants for failure of the first and last artifact, cancellation
after at least one checkpoint, changed-output invalidation of an unselected
transitive dependent, and byte/contract-identical replacement preserving an
unselected dependent. Consolidate with existing incremental/failure tests so
each durable risk has one clear owner.
### Exit Criteria
- A/B remain durable after C fails; an ordinary later run retries C and then D
without invoking A/B.
- Artifact failure and checkpoint failure leave no false current authority, and
publish/notify cannot remain successfully current after aggregate failure.
- No analyze projection type, field, helper, application branch, rollback path,
test fixture, or documentation claim remains.
- `go test ./internal/stage ./internal/app ./internal/manifest ./internal/artifacts`
succeeds.
- `git diff --check` succeeds.
## Stage 5 — Verify Force Semantics, Align Documentation, And Close Workstream 6
**Status:** Pending
### Goal
Verify the complete operational contract, remove superseded test/documentation
language, and leave Workstream 6 closed with repository-wide evidence.
### Required Work
1. Review existing force/selection/reconciliation tests and retain a lean set
that proves:
- an ordinary run reuses every valid current selected artifact;
- unqualified force reruns the full effective configured target set;
- selected force reruns the explicit targets, includes their dependency
closure, reuses valid current prerequisites, and leaves unrelated valid
artifacts untouched;
- stale, failed, missing, or dependency-invalid prerequisites execute in
deterministic topological order before their dependents; and
- an incidental canonical file without current manifest evidence is never
reused.
2. Replace projection-oriented test names, helpers, and assertions with
checkpoint/recovery language. Remove redundant tests whose only purpose was
to validate the retired transport or rollback choreography. Do not reduce
coverage of output validation, dependency invalidation, cancellation,
persistence failure, or assembled resume behavior.
3. Update the canonical current-behavior owners:
- `docs/internal/stage-analyze.md` for checkpoint order, resume behavior,
failure semantics, and the absence of projections;
- `docs/internal/manifest.md` for per-artifact checkpoint authority,
aggregate status, interruption recovery, and persistence failure;
- `docs/policy/architecture.md` only where its stage/persistence description
currently implies a single end-of-stage analyze transaction; and
- `docs/operations.md` and `docs/troubleshooting.md` only where operators
need to understand reuse after partial analyze failure or recover from a
manifest checkpoint error.
Do not duplicate CLI or configuration contracts, since syntax and fields do
not change.
4. Search production, tests, and current-behavior documentation for
`AnalyzeStateProjection`, `AnalyzeState`, `analyze projection`,
`projected records`, and `end-of-stage` language. Remove or revise every
reference tied to the retired mechanism; preserve unrelated planning uses of
the ordinary English word “projection” only when accurate.
5. Run the full repository validation from `docs/development.md`:
```sh
go test ./...
go test -race ./...
go vet ./...
go build ./...
go test ./internal/doccheck
go test ./internal/config -run '^TestExamplesLoadAndValidate$'
```
6. Run `go test -race -shuffle=on -count=3 ./internal/stage ./internal/app` to
stress the changed recovery and persistence boundaries. Run the supported
release cross-build checks if an implementation change affects build-tagged
code; otherwise the repository build is sufficient for this workstream.
7. After all checks pass, mark Stages 1–5 in this document `Completed` and mark
only Workstream 6 in [`refactoring.md`](refactoring.md) `Complete`.
Workstream 7 must remain the next pending workstream.
### Exit Criteria
- Current documentation describes analyze as a session-manifest-backed,
per-artifact checkpointed queue and contains no retired projection behavior.
- The force, partial-selection, dependency, interruption, and persistence-error
cases are protected through stable behavioral boundaries.
- All repository validation and focused shuffled race checks pass.
- Workstream 6 is marked complete, Workstream 7 remains pending, and the
worktree contains no accidental generated or temporary files.
- `git diff --check` succeeds.
## Open Questions
None. The audits, approved Workstream 6 scope, existing selection contract, and
the fixed decisions above resolve the product and implementation choices needed
for the coding agent to execute this plan.
