Build Log

Mission Foundry — Milestone 1

July 27, 2026

Missions now go through a real, stewarded shaping process — Spark, structured AI role findings, a synthesized Blueprint, a server-enforced Definition Gate, and seed Workpieces — before they can go live.

Timeline

Start

Charge received

Full Mission Foundry design doc pasted; scoped to Milestone 1 (owner-side only) per explicit instruction to build the complete milestone, no deferral

+20m

Crucible checkpoint run

Architect-persona Council pass on Milestone 1 scope before touching schema — flagged naming collision, transactional risk, gate-bypass risk

+40m

Research pass

Discovered Commons Mission UI already exists; governance doc's 'no authorization backstop' claim was stale, already resolved same-day

+90m

Schema + queries + actions + AI engine + UI built

All Milestone 1 pieces: lifecycle migration, Blueprint/Finding/Gate tables, Server Actions, Anthropic call engine, 4 new/rewritten pages

+150m

Verification

tsc clean, npm run build clean, end-to-end activation rehearsal passed against live DB, real AI call path confirmed reaching Anthropic

+180m

Adversarial audit

Independent agent found 2 blocking bugs (silent finding-decision no-op, unwired rate limiter) + 2 minor — all fixed and re-verified before close

What shipped

Mission lifecycle widened from 4 states (draft/active/paused/archived) to 8 (added spark/shaping/ready/achieved/retired), additive-only, zero backfill needed for the 6 real existing Mission rows

missions.origin column (workbench | commons_propose) — only 'workbench' ever written this milestone

3 new tables: mission_blueprints (one canonical synthesized doc per Mission), mission_shaping_findings (structured Fact/Evidence/Assumption/Question/Risk/Decision/Contradiction/Proposed-Workpiece findings from 7 AI roles), mission_definition_gate_results (audit trail of Gate evaluations — never the enforcement mechanism itself)

Mission Pipeline page (/missions) — rewritten from a flat list into a lifecycle-column board

Spark capture (/missions/new) — one required question, everything else optional

Mission Shaping workspace (/missions/[missionId]/shape) — 7 AI roles (steward, researcher, community_voice, skeptic, community_developer, builder_operator, trust_safety), real Claude calls with 3-layer parse/repair/fallback, live Blueprint synthesis, seed Workpiece generation, Definition Gate panel, Activate Privately

Mission Definition Gate — 6 server-enforced checks (legible/grounded/bounded/stewarded/actionable/observable), recomputed fresh on every transition attempt, never a cached boolean

First-ever Anthropic API call in Alloy (lib/mission-shaping-engine.ts) — AI Route Gate applied for real

End-to-end activation rehearsal script (scripts/rehearse-mission-foundry-activation.mjs) proving Spark->Shape->Accept->Seed->Gate->Activate against the real live database
