naudachu 2f82b501bd feat: evict closed issues from the local store
The store is a working set, not an archive. Until now nothing removed a
closed issue from it: #10 put a filter on the write and said so explicitly
("existing store files are not cleaned"), and the migration was never
anybody's job. The only way out was rm past every script, followed by
rebuilding INDEX.md by hand.

issue_evict.py removes <id>.md and every sidecar under that slug for an
issue that is state: closed AND carries an origin: naming a tracker, then
rebuilds INDEX.md. --dry-run prints and writes nothing at all.

Two conditions, and the second one is the whole safety argument. An
origin: local issue IS the work — there is no other copy — so it is never
evicted, in any state, not even when named on the command line: it is
reported and kept. The only files that go are ones whose own metadata says
pull.py <n> brings them back, which is the trade push.py already makes
when it drops a file the tracker just confirmed.

The command lives in the domain layer, and the layering rule decides that
rather than convenience: state: and origin: are domain fields and the
answer is already on disk, so eviction needs no network, no login and no
tea. The domain also gains issue.slug_files — every file the store holds
under one slug, which is all_ids' "a slug has no dot in it" read the other
way round, and lets the domain remove an issue completely without learning
what a comment thread is.

skills/sync/scripts/evict.py is the bridge form, and it exists because a
local state: is only as fresh as the last pull: an issue closed in the web
UI still reads open here. It refreshes state: from Gitea, then calls
issue_evict.run — one implementation of "what may be evicted", in the
layer that owns the fields it reads. Same gate as push, one step earlier:
every candidate's state is fetched before anything is removed, each answer
must be an object carrying the number asked about and a state the domain
recognizes (confirmed_state, the counterpart of confirmed_number), and a
failed or unconfirmed call evicts nothing — not even the candidates whose
answers had already arrived, and no refreshed state: is written back
either. A candidate is an issue with a gitea: handle; origin: local has
none, is never asked about, and is never removed.

.remote.json is deliberately not pruned. It is the number -> slug ledger,
its entries are supposed to outlive the files they name, and an evicted
issue is in exactly the state a pushed one is.

AGENTS.md gains the rule the tracker side never wrote down: pull by number
fetches an issue in any state — an address is not a query. Eviction does
not revoke it, so a closed issue pulled after a cleanup is on disk again,
and that is the tracker answering what it was asked.

# AGENTS.md
## Project goals
1. **Unify and systematize issue workflow** for the development team with
minimal context usage. Issue operations are wrapped in scripts so agents
spend tokens on the task, not on re-deriving commands and formats.
2. **Keep the tracker out of the work.** An issue is a unit of work first and a
Gitea row second. The two are separate layers, and the first one does not
know the second exists.
3. **Route all Gitea interaction through the `tea` CLI via scripts** instead of
direct ad-hoc calls wherever possible. Scripts give deterministic,
reviewable behavior; the `tea-guard` hook enforces that every `tea`
invocation runs under the operator-pinned login.
## Layers
The hard rule of this repo. Two domains, two bridges, one transport, and
knowledge flows one way only:
```
skills/issue DOMAIN what an issue is: format, validation, dependency graph
skills/page DOMAIN what a page tree is: title <-> path, order, the index
▲ offline — no tracker, no network, stdlib imports only
│ imports
skills/sync BRIDGE map.py md <-> Gitea issue JSON, pure, no I/O
_gitea.py login pin, tea api, pagination, filters
skills/wiki BRIDGE wikimap.py md <-> Gitea wiki JSON, pure, no I/O
transport is _gitea.py — there is no second one
skills/use REFERENCE tea CLI docs for everything that is not an issue
skills/auth IDENTITY pin the login the whole tracker side runs under
│ calls
agents/ EXECUTION tea-runner: runs the scripts, reports a receipt
```
A domain never imports its bridge, and the two domains do not import each
other: delete `skills/sync` and issues still work, delete `skills/wiki` and page
trees still work, delete either domain and the other is untouched. The check is
mechanical — every import under a domain's `scripts/` is stdlib, and
`subprocess` is not among them:
```bash
grep -rh '^import \|^from ' skills/issue/scripts/ | sort -u
grep -rh '^import \|^from ' skills/page/scripts/ | sort -u
```
If a tracker concept (issue number, login, HTTP call, label color, `sub_url`,
`content_base64`) shows up in a domain layer, it is in the wrong place.
## Repo layout
- `skills/auth` — pin the Gitea login used by `tea` (`/tea:auth`)
- `skills/issue` — issues as units of work (`/tea:issue`), entirely offline
- `references/format.md` — canonical issue format; single source of truth
- `scripts/issue.py` — domain module: slug identity, parse/render, validation,
taxonomy, dependency graph, body checkboxes
- `scripts/issue_new.py` — create a local issue from its type template
- `scripts/issue_check.py` — validate against the format
- `scripts/issue_ac.py` — list the body's checkboxes; tick one by number or
substring, changing exactly one character of the file
- `scripts/issue_tree.py` — draw the dependency graph
- `scripts/issue_evict.py` — remove closed issues from the store; never an
`origin: local` one
- `scripts/issue_index.py` — rebuild `tmp/issues/INDEX.md`
- `skills/sync` — move issues between the local store and Gitea (`/tea:sync`)
- `scripts/map.py` — md ↔ Gitea JSON, pure, no I/O; label colors live here
- `scripts/_gitea.py` — transport: login pin, `tea api`, pagination, filters,
label ids, the remote-id map
- `scripts/pull.py`, `push.py`, `remote.py`, `comment.py`
- `scripts/evict.py` — refresh `state:` from Gitea, then hand the decision to
the domain's `issue_evict.run`
- `skills/page` — a discussion's artifacts as a page tree (`/tea:page`),
entirely offline
- `references/pages.md` — canonical page-tree format; single source of truth
- `scripts/page.py` — domain module: title ↔ path, ordering, the manifest,
importing a directory of markdown, the index
- `scripts/page_import.py` — copy a directory of markdown into a space,
titling every file
- `scripts/page_index.py` — write the table-of-contents page
- `scripts/page_ls.py` — the tree, the titles, one sync-state tag per page
- `skills/wiki` — move page trees between a local space and a Gitea wiki
(`/tea:wiki`)
- `scripts/wikimap.py` — md ↔ Gitea wiki JSON, pure, no I/O
- `scripts/wiki_ls.py`, `wiki_pull.py`, `wiki_push.py` — transport is
`skills/sync/scripts/_gitea.py`
- `skills/use``tea` CLI reference for everything that is not an issue
(`/tea:use`); `references/tea/` holds the command docs
- `agents/tea-runner.md` — subagent on Haiku that executes the scripts and
returns a compact receipt. Delegate batches (bulk pull, push a named set,
bootstrap labels, rebuild the index), never the thinking: it has no `Edit`
and no `Write`, may not `--force`, and may not decide what an issue says.
Delegating a single call costs more than running it inline — the win is the
loop, the retry, and the error triage.
- `hooks/` — PreToolUse hooks: `tea-guard` blocks or rewrites `tea` invocations
that don't use the pinned login; `agents-sync` keeps every directory canonical
(`AGENTS.md` real file, `CLAUDE.md` symlink to it)
- `tests/` — stdlib `unittest`, no third-party anything
## Tests
```bash
python3 -m unittest discover -s tests -v
```
Plain `unittest`; no pytest, no dependencies — the scripts under test are
stdlib-only and the tests hold the same line. `skills/*/scripts/` are not
packages, so a test that needs the domain module imports it with
`sys.path.insert`.
**A test never touches `tmp/issues/` or `tmp/wiki/`.** Anything that needs a
store builds a throwaway repository in a `tempfile.TemporaryDirectory()` — a
`.git` marker, a copy of the script layers, fixture issues or artifacts — and
runs the real scripts inside it as subprocesses. That is the only way to test
behavior that depends on where a script is run from, and it keeps the
developer's own store out of the blast radius.
## Local issue store
`tmp/issues/` (gitignored) holds **two kinds of file, and only one of them is a
store.** An `origin: local` issue lives here and nowhere else — this file *is*
the issue, and losing it loses the work. Anything with `origin: gitea` is a
**cache**: the tracker has it, this copy is a working copy, and it is deleted
the moment a push confirms the tracker is up to date.
One flat markdown file per issue, named by its slug, with one metadata field per
line so plain grep works without a parser.
- **The path is `<repo root>/tmp/issues`, resolved from `issue.py`'s own
location, not from cwd.** `issue.store_root()` walks up from `__file__` to the
nearest `.git` or `AGENTS.md` — so every script in both layers sees one store
whatever directory it is run from. An explicit `--out` overrides it and is
used exactly as typed; a relative `--out` stays relative to cwd.
- Nothing creates the store as a side effect of a write. Readers distinguish
"does not exist" from "is empty"; only `issue_new.py` and `pull.py` create it,
and they say so on stderr.
- Identity is the slug (`wire-sqlc-appclick.md`), never a tracker number.
Numbers live in the `gitea:` field.
- `origin: local` is a complete state, not a draft: an issue that never leaves
this machine is valid and finished. It is not a *durable* state, though —
pushing ends it, and the local file goes with it.
- **A successful push deletes the local file** (`<id>.md` and
`<id>.comments.md`), and prints the number and URL the issue now lives at.
`--update` too: one rule, no exception. What is in the store is what has not
left. Get it back with `pull.py <n>`.
- Deletion happens only after a confirmed tracker response and only after
`.remote.json` has been written. Network down, non-2xx, an answer that does
not carry the right number: the file stays and the run stops. A never-pushed
`origin: local` issue is never touched by any of this.
- The slug survives the round trip because it goes up in the body as
`<!-- tea:id … -->` (`map.with_id_marker`) and is indexed by number in
`tmp/issues/.remote.json`. A rename in the web UI, a lost `.remote.json`, a
fresh clone, another machine — the file comes back under the same name and
every `depends:` that points at it still resolves.
- `.remote.json` is therefore no longer "an index over the files": it is the
local number → slug ledger, its entries outlive the files they name, and
nothing prunes them. It is still recoverable — from the markers in Gitea, not
from the files. **Eviction does not prune it either**, for the same reason a
push does not: an evicted issue is in exactly the state a pushed one is.
- **A closed issue is evicted, not archived.** `issue_evict.py` removes
`<id>.md` and every sidecar under that slug for anything that is `state:
closed` **and** carries an `origin:` naming a tracker, then rebuilds
`INDEX.md`. `--dry-run` prints and writes nothing. **`origin: local` is never
evicted, in any state, not even when named on the command line** — that file
*is* the issue and nothing can fetch it back.
- **Eviction lives in the domain** (`skills/issue/scripts/issue_evict.py`),
because its two inputs — `state:` and `origin:` — are domain fields and the
answer is already on disk. No network, no login, no `tea`.
`skills/sync/scripts/evict.py` is the bridge form: it refreshes `state:` from
the tracker first (a local `state:` is only as fresh as the last pull) and then
calls `issue_evict.run`. One implementation of "what may be evicted", in the
layer that owns the fields it reads. Same gate as push, one step earlier: a
failed or unconfirmed tracker answer evicts nothing at all.
- **Pull by number fetches an issue in any state — a number is a number.** An
address is not a query: `pull.py 42` puts a closed issue on disk exactly as it
always has, and so does `#42`, `owner/repo#42`, or its URL. Only filter mode
(`--milestone`, `--label`, `-q`) leaves closed issues out. Eviction does not
revoke this: a closed issue pulled after a cleanup lands on disk again, and
that is the tracker answering what it was asked, not a regression. Evict it
again when you are done with it.
- Pulling overwrites the body — a fetch, not a merge. It is also how a pushed
issue comes back at all.
- No drift tracking, and now nothing to track: there is no second copy to
diverge from. `synced:` tells you how old your working copy is.
## Local wiki cache
`tmp/wiki/<space>/` (gitignored) holds page trees — a discussion's artifacts,
organized. Same stance as the issue store, resolved the same way from
`page.py`'s own location, with the same `--out` rule.
- Identity is the **title**, and `/` inside it is the only hierarchy there is.
The Gitea wiki is flat: it escapes a title into one filename by rules of its
own (`space -> -`, `/ -> %2F`, a literal `-` forces a trailing `.-`).
- **`sub_url` is Gitea's address for a page and is never constructed.** It is
read back from the API and stored in `.pages.json`. One built by hand that is
almost right creates a second page instead of editing the first.
- **Never commit a subdirectory into a wiki's git repository.** Gitea does not
see it — the page exists on disk and nowhere in the API or the UI. Do not
clone the wiki repo to work in; use the scripts.
- A title is a decision, not a derivation. A re-import replaces bodies and
keeps titles, so editing a heading cannot silently rename a published page.
`--retitle` opts in, and the rename reaches the wiki on the next push.
- A page with no `sub_url` has never been published — a complete state, the way
`origin: local` is for an issue. **The parallel stops at the push**: a pushed
page stays on disk, a pushed issue does not.
- Change detection is one hash (`pushed`). Pulling overwrites; pushing is
additive and never deletes — the one place the two domains deliberately
disagree, because a page tree is worked on locally and an issue is not.
- The `tea` CLI has no wiki subcommand. `tea api` is the only route, through
`_gitea.py`.
