naudachu 1815d91cdf feat: discussion artifacts as wiki pages, in two new layers
A discussion leaves behind a directory of markdown somewhere outside this
repo, and the only durable home for it is the Gitea wiki. Getting it
there by hand means re-deriving the same three things every time: what
each file should be called, where it goes, and whether the page already
exists. Two skills wrap that, along the split the repo already uses.

`skills/page` is domain, offline, stdlib-only, and knows nothing about
Gitea. It imports a directory into a space under `tmp/wiki/`, titles
every file, records the result in `.pages.json`, and writes the index.
`skills/wiki` is the bridge — `wikimap.py` translates, and the transport
is `_gitea.py`, the same one the issue side uses. There is no second
transport, and `tea` has no wiki subcommand to offer one.

The Gitea wiki is flat, and that fact shapes everything

There are no directories. A title of `a/b` is stored as one file named
`a%2Fb.md`, and Gitea escapes it by rules of its own: space becomes `-`,
`/` becomes `%2F`, and a literal `-` forces a trailing `.-` marker so the
two stay distinct. `Chain decisions — DC` under two levels of prefix
comes back as `Simple-Chains%2FParked%2FChain-decisions-%E2%80%94-DC`.

So `sub_url` is the identity, it is read back from whatever the API
returned, and it is never constructed. One built by hand that is almost
right does not fail — it creates a second page and abandons the first.

And a real subdirectory committed into a wiki's git repository is a ghost:
the file exists, the API and the web UI do not see it. `folder/page.md`
in this repo's own wiki is one. Nothing here clones a wiki repo.

A title is a decision, not a derivation

Titles come from the first heading, because there is no mechanical route
from `03-q-01-do-we-know-the-chain-participant-by-name.md` to
`Q-01. Do We Know the Chain Participant by Name`. But they are derived
exactly once. A re-import replaces bodies and keeps titles, so editing a
heading cannot rename a published page — which would not rename it, it
would publish a second one.

`--retitle` opts in. It finds the prior entry by `source` rather than by
path, because the path is derived from the title and a retitle moves it;
looked up by path the page would read as new and the next push would
duplicate it. The old file goes, `sub_url` comes along, and `pushed` is
cleared — a rename can leave the body byte-identical, and push decides by
body hash alone, so a stale hash would skip the rename forever.

Ordering is a `NN-` file-name prefix and never reaches the title. `00-`
means "this is the directory's own page", and that page is named for the
directory, not for its own heading: a child's title has to extend its
parent's exactly, and `ideas/00-intro.md` opens with "Ideas for chain
business requirements".

Path collisions are reported and never resolved. Picking a winner is how
a discussion loses a document.

The index is navigation, not decoration

Nothing draws a tree from flat titles. `page_index.py` writes one as an
ordinary page, nested by title depth rather than by manifest path order —
those disagree, since on disk `Top/System.md` sorts before
`Top/Ideas/Scale.md` while in the hierarchy System is a child and Scale a
grandchild. A parent with no page of its own still gets a node, so its
children are not hidden.

Links use `sub_url` when there is one and Gitea's `[[Title|label]]`
syntax when there is not, so the order is push, rebuild, push.

The same stances as the issue store, for the same reasons

Pull overwrites, push is additive and never deletes, change detection is
one hash and there is no drift model. A page with no `sub_url` has never
been published, and that is a durable state.

Issues gain a `wiki:` field holding page titles — titles, not URLs, so
the reference stays in the domain. It already round-trips as a foreign
key; this documents it.

Verified against a live Gitea 1.26.1: create, update with a message,
unchanged-skip, prefix-filtered pull, byte-identical round trip, and the
per-page revision history carrying the operator's own words. The probe
pages were deleted afterwards.

Issue format

Canonical format for every issue in this project, whether it ever reaches a tracker or not. Designed to be unambiguous for both humans and LLMs: fixed English section headers in a fixed order, verifiable acceptance criteria, one issue = one deliverable. Source spec: the project wiki (Issues-Workflow).

Nothing here depends on Gitea. How these files are mapped onto a tracker is the sync layer's business — see /tea:sync.

Identity

An issue is one file, tmp/issues/<id>.md, and id is a slug: lowercase ASCII, digits, single dashes, derived from the title. The slug is the identity. It is stable for the life of the issue — a retitled issue keeps its slug, and an issue pushed to a tracker keeps it too. Tracker numbers are a foreign key stored in a field, never the name of anything.

tmp/issues/wire-sqlc-appclick.md

Metadata block

One field per line, lists inline, so plain grep works without a parser:

---
id: wire-sqlc-appclick
state: open
labels: [type/task, tech/sql]
assignees: [naudachu]
milestone: v0.2
depends: [migrate-schema]
wiki: [Simple Chains/Ideas/Chain core]
origin: gitea
branch: feat/wire-sqlc
gitea: claude-skills/tea#42
remote-updated: 2026-08-09T18:24:01Z

# Wire sqlc into the appclick repo layer

## Summary
Field Owner Meaning
id domain slug; equals the file name
state domain open or closed
labels domain see namespaces below; exactly one type/*
assignees domain logins; may be empty
milestone domain title, or none
depends domain ids this issue depends on — the authoritative graph
wiki domain page titles this issue is written up in; may be empty. Titles, not URLs — a title is a name for a document and stays in this layer, a URL is tracker bookkeeping. /tea:page owns what those titles mean; page_ls.py --titles prints them
origin domain local, or the name of a tracker this also lives in
gitea sync the handle in that tracker: owner/repo#N
branch sync the tracker's branch link (Gitea ref); push fills an empty one with the current git branch, and never overwrites a filled one
url, synced, remote-updated, comments sync bookkeeping

Domain fields render first, in the order above; sync fields follow, sorted.

origin is domain-owned on purpose: whether a piece of work exists anywhere but here is a fact about the work. Where that is, and how to reach it, is the sync layer's business — the domain carries gitea: and the rest through load/save verbatim and never reads them. That passthrough is why one file can represent a local issue and a synced one without a second format.

origin: local is a durable state, not a pending one. An issue that never leaves this machine is complete and valid. Pushing is optional and additive.

Language rules

  • Issue title: English, imperative mood, no type prefix — the type lives in the label, not the title. Good: Fix tea-guard crash on empty settings file. Bad: fix: crash, [bug] crash, Крашится гвард.
  • Section headers: the exact English literals below, as ## headings, in the given order. Do not translate, rename, or reorder them.
  • Body prose (text inside sections): Russian.

Label namespaces

Four namespaces classify an issue. Two are exclusive (at most one label from the namespace), two are free-form:

Namespace Exclusive Purpose
type/* yes What kind of work; primarily its business value. Mandatory, exactly one.
severity/* yes Business impact. At most one; apply when the impact is known.
tech/* no Technology the issue is bound to. Any number.
comp/* no System component of this repo. Any number; no preset — project-specific.

type/* — mandatory, exactly one

Label Meaning
type/bug Something behaves incorrectly in existing code
type/task Implementation of new functionality
type/refactor Internal restructuring: file moves, architecture; behavior must not change
type/test Writing or fixing tests
type/feature Container: several issues delivering one unit of business value
type/draft Idea captured for later; not ready for work

severity/* — at most one

severity/low, severity/medium, severity/high, severity/showstopper, severity/critical.

tech/* — any number

Technology-bound labels, e.g. tech/sql (pgx, sqlc, sql-migrate — persistent storage), tech/obs (grafana, loki, prometheus, alloy — observability), tech/postgres.

comp/* — any number

Components of this repo's system, e.g. comp/appclick. No preset list — derive from the project.

Label colors are not part of the format: a hex code is how a tracker paints a chip, not what an issue is. They live in skills/sync/scripts/map.py and are applied on push.

Dependencies

depends: in the metadata block is the graph, and it holds ids:

depends: [migrate-schema, add-pool-cfg]

An optional ## Depends on section, placed right after ## Spec, carries the human explanation — one reference per line, with a reason where it helps:

## Depends on
- migrate-schema — нужна схема БД из этого issue
- add-pool-cfg

The section is prose and is passed to and from a tracker unchanged; only depends: is walked when the graph is computed. Keeping them consistent is on you — issue_check.py warns when the section names an id that depends: does not list. Omit the section when there are no dependencies; never write an empty one.

A type/feature container writes the same relation under ## Issues instead (see the template below). Same direction, same rule: every id named there also belongs in that issue's depends:. The warning names whichever of the two sections the reference actually came from.

Draw the graph with issue_tree.py. The reverse direction is a grep:

grep -ln 'depends:.*migrate-schema' tmp/issues/*.md

Shared rules

  • ## Summary is always the first section; ## Acceptance criteria is always present (exception: type/draft). These two are the anchors every reader (human or LLM) relies on.
  • ## Spec is mandatory in every type. Its value is a repo path (docs/specs/auth.md), a URL, or the literal none when no spec exists. Never omit the section and never invent a link — none is an explicit, valid answer.
  • Acceptance criteria are - [ ] checkboxes; each item is an objectively checkable condition, not an aspiration.
  • A checkbox is item markup, not a property of one section: - [ ] unticked, - [x] ticked, and it means the same under ## Issues as under ## Acceptance criteria. An item that wraps continues on an indented line and is still one item. A - [ ] inside a ``` code fence is an example of the markup, not state. Tick them with issue_ac.py, which reads the whole body on exactly these rules and rewrites one character; progress (3/7) is counted off the body and is never a metadata field.
  • Code references use the path/file.ext:line form; related issues by id.
  • Screenshots are allowed but their content must be duplicated as text — an LLM reading these files cannot see images.
  • If acceptance criteria grow past ~5 unrelated items, split the issue (or promote it to a type/feature container with child issues).

Template: type/feature

A container: one unit of business value delivered by several child issues. Child issues carry their own type/* (task, bug, test, …) and know nothing about the container.

The container depends on its children, never the reverse. Every child id goes in the container's own depends: and, as prose, in its ## Issues section; a child's depends: is for that child's real dependencies and must not point back at the container. Keep implementation detail in the children; the feature body stays at business level.

That direction is not a convention picked at random. "The container is closed when its children are closed" is a dependency relation. "This child belongs to that feature" is a membership relation, and membership has no place in a dependency graph. Pointed the other way the two rules contradict each other: the moment the container listed a child that already depended on it, issue_check.py would report ERROR cycle. With the edge going down, the graph reads as nesting — issue_tree.py draws the container as the root with its children beneath it — and the check is green.

So the container's metadata block carries the children:

depends: [wire-sqlc-appclick, add-pool-cfg]

and its body repeats them for a human:

## Summary
Бизнес-ценность одним-двумя предложениями.

## Spec
Ссылка или `none`.

- [ ] проверяемое условие уровня фичи (например, e2e-сценарий работает)

Template: type/draft

A parking spot for ideas that are not fleshed out yet. Minimal structure, no acceptance criteria required. Before implementation starts, a draft MUST be promoted: relabeled to a concrete type and rewritten into that type's template.

## Summary
Идея одним-двумя предложениями.

## Spec
Ссылка или `none` (для драфтов обычно `none`).

## Notes
Свободные заметки: что известно, открытые вопросы, варианты.

Containers beyond type/feature

  • Milestone — a set of issues with an optional time bound. Locally it is just the milestone: field; a tracker-side milestone must already exist for a push to attach the issue to it.
  • Project — a set of issues tracked by status columns (Backlog, ToDo, InProgress, Ready, Done). Not represented in this format and not reachable through the Gitea API — web UI only.
