- propose_project(name, purpose, decisions) in a conversation goes up for
a go-ahead (checked: a slug, not an existing project, no trailing
question).
- On go, the provisioning checklist (D1): a repository with a README,
protection on its default branch, the agent as a collaborator, a build
VM, a deploy key, and the project entry as YAML with <...> to fill in.
- On "done", the agent reads its configuration again and adds the new
project live (build_loop_agent(load=...); only additions), then checks
what was provided (D4, verified, not assumed): permissions and
protection as it sees them, then on a throwaway branch with an empty
commit, a branch push must succeed and a push to the default branch and
merging its own PR must be refused. The check's PR is closed and its
branch deleted. Failures are said per item; nothing starts.
- Checked: the tracking issue (the distilled decisions, carrying the new
item's ID), and the project's item, agreed and labelled `design`, whose
first milestone is ARCHITECTURE.md and the build plan. A conversation
waiting on provisioning doesn't close as idle.
- The walk replays exactly from its seed (item IDs too), and event IDs
stay unique across simulated restarts, as a server's are.
- The test config holds output to 8192 tokens, under the test key's
per-request cost cap.
Tests: new-project unit tests (checklist and its YAML parse as config, done
before the entry, what isn't set up, a checked project's record and first
PR, an existing name), protection enforced by a hook on the fake forge,
the walk proposing projects and saying done, and an e2e new project in a
repository the test operator provisions from the agent's checklist.
