📖About

ROOT CAUSE (CLI-263): the Logbook store holds two record types in one sessions table - 85 published blogs and 261 operator Session Notes - and nothing on the row says which is which. The blog/notes distinction lives only as a naming convention (cli_session LIKE CLI-%) inside the Logbook app queries, so any reader who does not know the convention miscounts (Orion counted 139 blogs where the site correctly shows 85). FIX: (1) add a record_type column to the sessions table with values blog and session_notes; backfill from the existing convention; (2) both writers stamp it at creation - the session opener stamps session_notes, the Author blog path stamps blog; (3) every reader that embeds the CLI-% convention filters on record_type instead (Logbook app published-stories query, sessions API, and any other reader found by sweep); (4) Data Dictionary gains a Session Notes term, and the Logbook and Session entries gain near-miss rows drawing the Logbook-vs-Session-Notes line both ways; (5) a regression test locks the invariant that every sessions row carries a valid record_type and that the published count equals the record_type=blog count. Per cookbook 1126 (one composer, derived once) and 937 (one shared counter).

⚖️Decisions

• Elrond's bypass methodology checklist (a reminder, not a gate -- you've got this): 0. File it requested_mode='bypass' (planner-vs-bypass is a deliberate choice). bypass_start REFUSES a non-bypass initiative (CAROL-INI-1846), and the dispatcher only skips the bypass lane when the mode says bypass -- a 'planner' mistag lets Merlin's pipeline grab the placeholder step and block your finished work. 1. Filed as planned status -- let the bypass claim/activate it; never file active. 2. Open the bypass (bypass_start) with your droid id + the remediation answer (remediates_initiative_id=NNN, or remediates_nothing=True). 3. Work the blocks for your work-type: template -> design -> code -> test -> review. Do the real work; record decisions on the initiative as you make them. 4. Reality is recorded for you at close -- code (files changed), each decision, and the twin-review verdict become real activities tied to this initiative and show in the Activity Tracker like a planner run (CAROL-INI-1840). No dummy rows. 5. Keep the initiative status moving; it parks in 'reviewing' and is tagged uat-pending for you at close (CAROL-INI-1836), so the stuck-watchdog leaves it alone until UAT. 6. Close runs the gates (design/architecture compliance + caller-audit). If a gate flags something pre-existing or unrelated to your change, waive it with a clear written rationale -- audit, don't skip. 7. Bypass skips the planner's auto-orchestration, NOT the standards. Same template checklist, same review, same observability as a planner run. (elrond)
• [status-router] planned -> executing | event=bypass_executing | bypass transition (or-bx-01)
• record_type column on orion_sessions with DEFAULT 'session_notes' — Every legacy writer is a work-log writer; a blog can only be born through the Author path, which stamps record_type='blog' explicitly. So the default is semantically correct for any writer that predates the column — no silent wrong default is possible. (orion)
• Publish filter reads record_type='blog'; INI-3589's no-naming-allowlist law upheld and its test updated — INI-3589 locked 'no naming-based allowlist at publish time'. The record_type filter honours the spirit: the type is stamped at creation by the writer, never inferred from the cli_session key. test_ini3589 now asserts the record_type filter and that no naming-convention filter (deny- or allow-list) is present. test_ini3819's session count reads record_type too. (orion)
• Backfill by the retired convention; verified 85 blog / 261 session_notes / 0 invalid — The old cli_session convention was correct in the data at migration time, so it is the right backfill source; the count matches the public site's 85 exactly. test_ini3876 locks that the two derivations never drift again. (orion)
• Data Dictionary: new 'Session Notes' term + near-miss rows both ways with Logbook, via glossary upsert — The two record types in one store had no names drawn apart in the dictionary — that gap is how a reader (Orion, CLI-263) miscounted 139 blogs where the site shows 85. One term, one home: written through the glossary's own upsert. (orion)

• Close-gate compliance follow-on resolved: re-run reads PASS, nothing to file — At close the design/architecture gate counted 2 gaps and its autonomous follow-on filing was refused by pipeline-off intake (INI3713, by design; ruling 1225 makes such filings operator work). Operator re-ran check_delivery_compliance for exec 1508 across all three books after close: verdict PASS, zero gaps, in every book - the close-time reading did not reproduce. Nothing filed; any real gap will surface via UAT or Themis with its own lane. (orion)
• [status-router] reviewing -> closed | event=operator_signoff | Auto-accepted (CAROL-INI-1859): Orion-initiated, >2 days in reviewing with no objection. (el-srac-01)

✅Success criteria

• Every row in the Logbook sessions store carries record_type = blog or session_notes; zero rows without one (backfill complete, verified by query) (must_have)
• Both writers stamp record_type at creation: a new operator session lands as session_notes and a new authored blog lands as blog, proven by creating one of each (or inspecting the write paths + the regression test) (must_have)
• The Logbook app derives published stories from record_type, not from the cli_session naming convention, and the public site still shows exactly the same 85 stories before and after (count and story list unchanged) (must_have)
• Data Dictionary holds a Session Notes term with meaning + synonyms, and the Logbook entry near-misses Session Notes (and vice versa) so the two record types in one store are named apart (must_have)
• A regression test in the persistent runner fails if any sessions row lacks a valid record_type or if the published count diverges from the record_type=blog count (must_have)
