**Project 5: Architecture Simplification** (COMPLETE - THIS SESSION)

- Status: Complete ✅
- Researched OpenCode built-ins vs. ledger layer
- Decision: **REMOVE ledger layer (redundant with backlog + git)**
- Rationale: Backlog task notes + git history provide same functionality
- Result: Two-layer architecture (Memory + Backlog + Git audit trail)

---

## What We Did This Session

### 1. Architecture Cleanup - Removed Ledger Layer

- ✅ Deleted 3 ledger tools: ledger-create.ts, ledger-update.ts, ledger-archive.ts
- ✅ Deleted ledger skill: `@.opencode/skills/core/ledgers/SKILL.md`
- ✅ Updated all custom commands to use backlog instead of ledgers
- ✅ Simplified from three-layer (Memory + Backlog + Ledgers) to two-layer (Memory + Backlog + Git)

### 2. Documentation Updates

- ✅ Fixed `@.opencode/AGENTS.md`: Corrected paths, removed ledger refs, updated skill count (8 core)
- ✅ Updated `@.opencode/INTEGRATION_OVERVIEW.md` to two-layer architecture
- ✅ Fixed all agent files (build, rush, plan, orchestrator, code-auditor):
  - Removed incorrect "Skills Auto-Loading" sections
  - Added gkg tool priority to execution protocols
  - Updated to use backlog task notes for Facts/Guesses/Plans
- ✅ Updated custom commands: /design/_, /fix/_ now use backlog instead of ledgers

### 3. MCP Code Mode Integration

- ✅ Researched https://github.com/draphonix/mcp-code-mode
- ✅ Created integration analysis: `research/2025-11-20-mcp-code-mode-integration.md`
- ✅ Created setup guide: `research/2025-11-20-mcp-code-mode-setup.md`
- ✅ Added code-mode MCP server to `opencode.json` (disabled by default)
- ✅ Configured with environment variables (OPENAI_API_KEY, GEMINI_API_KEY)

### 4. Skills System Clarification

- ✅ Documented: Skills do NOT auto-load based on file context
- ✅ Skills only load when custom commands are used
- ✅ Added gkg tool priority to build/rush agents (semantic search first)

---

## Architecture Decision: Two-Layer System

### Final Architecture: Memory + Backlog + Git

```
Memory (Permanent)     → Backlog (Multi-session) → Git (Audit Trail)
@.opencode/memory/       @backlog/tasks/           .git/
- Learnings & patterns   - Multi-session projects  - Execution history
- Decisions & blockers   - Facts/Guesses/Plans     - Automatic tracking
                         (stored in task notes)
```

### Why Ledgers Were Removed (Redundant)

**What backlog + git provide:**

- Backlog task notes: Facts/Guesses/Plans (same as ledgers)
- Git commits: Execution history with timestamps
- Git log: Progress tracking and post-mortem analysis
- Backlog status: To Do → In Progress → Done
- No sync burden between multiple systems

**What ledgers duplicated:**

- Facts/Guesses/Plans (already in backlog notes)
- Progress tracking (already in git log)
- Post-mortem analysis (git history is better)
- Session execution state (git + backlog sufficient)

**Decision:** Ledgers were redundant. Backlog + git provide same functionality with less overhead.

```

### Why Ledgers Are Essential (Not Redundant)

**Built-ins provide:**

- bash, edit, write, read, grep, glob, patch
- todowrite/todoread (basic task tracking)
- backlog MCP (multi-session project tracking)

**Ledgers provide (NOT in built-ins):**

- Facts/Guesses/Plans structured tracking
- Per-agent progress & health metrics
- Formal re-planning workflow with triggers
- Execution history and post-mortem analysis
- Portable across workspaces

**Ledgers complement built-ins - they're not redundant.**

**CLI Commands Verified:**
```bash
ock --help          # ✓ Works
ock --version       # ✓ Shows: ock/0.1.0 darwin-arm64 node-v24.3.0
ock init           # ✓ Ready (interactive, untested)
ock setup          # ✓ Ready (interactive, untested)
ock agent list     # ✓ Error handling works: "Run 'ock setup' first"
ock skill list     # ✓ Error handling works: "Run 'ock setup' first"
```

**Documentation Created:**

2. **Build Binary Compilation** (npm run compile:binary)
3. **NPM Publishing** (prepare for release)
4. **Integration Tests** (create test projects end-to-end)

## Session 4: NPM Release Automation with 2FA (2025-11-20)

### ✅ COMPLETED: Automated Release Workflow

**What we added:**

1. **Release Workflow** (`.github/workflows/release.yml`)
   - Triggered on: Push to main
   - Builds cross-platform binaries
   - Runs quality gates (typecheck, lint)
   - Semantic versioning (based on commit messages)
   - NPM publishing with 2FA support
   - GitHub releases with binaries
   - Discord notifications

2. **Build Binaries Workflow** (`.github/workflows/build-binaries.yml`)
   - Compiles `ock` for 4 platforms:
     - macOS ARM64 (Apple Silicon)
     - macOS x64 (Intel)
     - Linux x64
     - Windows x64
   - Uploads artifacts for release step

3. **Semantic Release Config** (`.releaserc.json`)
   - Commit analyzer (reads `fix:`, `feat:`, `BREAKING CHANGE:`)
   - Release notes generator
   - Changelog generation (CHANGELOG.md)
   - NPM publishing (with `NPM_TOKEN`)
   - Git commits + tags
   - GitHub releases

4. **NPM Publishing Setup Guide** (`.github/NPM_PUBLISHING_SETUP.md`)
   - How to create NPM Granular Access Token (2FA-compatible)
   - GitHub secret configuration
   - Semantic versioning commit message guide
   - Troubleshooting section
   - Security best practices

5. **Package.json Updates**
   - Added: `@semantic-release/changelog`, `@semantic-release/git`, `semantic-release`
   - Proper npm publish config

**Key Feature: 2FA Support**

Uses **NPM Granular Access Token** (recommended by npm.js):
- ✅ Works with 2FA enabled on account
- ✅ Scoped to specific package (`opencodekit-cli`)
- ✅ Can be revoked easily
- ✅ Better security than classic tokens

**How it works:**
1. User creates Granular Token in NPM account settings
2. Adds `NPM_TOKEN` as GitHub secret
3. GitHub Actions uses token for publishing (no interactive 2FA prompt)
4. Semantic Release handles versioning automatically

**Git Commits This Session:**
- `3c8ac49` - feat: add automated release workflow with NPM 2FA support

### Complete Setup Checklist

- ✅ CLI tool (`ock`) fully functional
- ✅ Commands: init, setup, agent, skill
- ✅ Cross-platform binaries (macOS, Linux, Windows)
- ✅ Semantic versioning (auto version bumps)
- ✅ NPM publishing (2FA-compatible with Granular Token)
- ✅ GitHub releases (with binaries)
- ✅ Discord notifications
- ✅ Complete documentation
- ✅ Setup guide for 2FA

### Still Missing (Optional)

1. **Unit tests** - Add `bun test` with examples
2. **Interactive testing** - Test init/setup with stdin
3. **Push to GitHub** - Need to git push
4. **GitHub Secrets setup** - User needs to add NPM_TOKEN secret
5. **First release** - Version bump + semantic release

### Files Created/Modified

**Created:**
- `.github/workflows/release.yml` (163 lines)
- `.github/workflows/build-binaries.yml` (106 lines)
- `.github/NPM_PUBLISHING_SETUP.md` (273 lines)
- `.releaserc.json` (43 lines)

**Modified:**
- `package.json` - Added semantic-release deps
- `.gitignore` - Added ock binary
- `.opencode/memory/memory.md` - This session notes

**Commands to enable:**
1. Create NPM Granular Access Token (npmjs.com → Profile → Access Tokens)
2. Add GitHub secret: `NPM_TOKEN` with token value
3. Optionally add `DISCORD_WEBHOOK_URL` for notifications

### Next Steps for User

1. **Set up GitHub Secrets:**
   ```
   Settings → Secrets and variables → Actions
   - Add NPM_TOKEN (from step above)
   - Add DISCORD_WEBHOOK_URL (optional)
   ```

2. **Test Release Workflow:**
   ```bash
   git commit -m "feat: test release"
   git push
   # Watch Actions tab → Release workflow
   ```

3. **Verify NPM Package:**
   ```bash
   npm search opencodekit-cli
   npm install -g opencodekit-cli
   ```
