Randall Stillwell 1944b1ed48 bootstrap: agent pipeline v0.5.0 + ship-readiness review
Installs the three-layer agent-pipeline scaffold (https://github.com/varutasu/agent-pipeline @ v0.5.0):

L1 — Context (curated brain)
- AGENTS.md: orientation, conventions, 8 explicit gotchas
- .cursor/rules/: no-go-zones, api-routes, auth-and-permissions,
  db-and-schema, ui-and-theming, schema-map
- .cursor/skills/: add-api-route, add-page recipes
- docs/agent-context/README.md: layer explainer
- docs/SCHEMA_MAP.md: hand-curated Neon Postgres reference
  (replaces Prisma schema map since stack is raw SQL)

L2 — Subagent roles (copied verbatim from upstream templates)
- 9 .cursor/agents/role-*.md files: Conductor, IA-Architect,
  UX-Reviewer, Architect, Implementer, Reviewer,
  Design-System-Auditor, A11y-Auditor, Doc-Writer

L3 — Pipeline scaffolding (Vercel variant)
- CI: lint + schema-map-drift only (no duplicate build —
  Vercel handles it). Test job commented out until vitest lands.
- preview-smoke + visual-diff via wait-for-vercel-preview
- pr-health-rollup sticky comment aggregator
- agent-context-drift weekly cron
- PULL_REQUEST_TEMPLATE, CODEOWNERS (auth/admin paths tagged)
- .convoys/ folder + seed ship-readiness.md review
- lib/flags/index.js (JS — converted from TS template)
- scripts/wt.sh (Cursor 3.2 deprecation stub),
  scripts/log-convoy-event.sh
- tests/smoke/app.smoke.spec.ts (Playwright skeleton)

Manifest
- .agent-context-manifest.yml: tracks 31 artifacts by sha256
  for future sync-agent-context drift detection

Review
- .convoys/ship-readiness.md: 16 findings (7 P0 ship-blockers,
  5 P1 quality-bar, 4 P2 refactor, P3 UX/IA/a11y/docs) with
  proposed 13-convoy launch sequence.

No production code changed in this commit. All findings in
the ship-readiness review will be addressed in follow-up convoys
starting with fix-auth-bypass.

Structural brain: user-code-review-graph MCP has indexed the
codebase (122 files, 628 nodes, 5602 edges, 11 communities,
84 flows). Per-developer; not committed.

Role: Doc Writer

Trigger

After a convoy's PR(s) merge to develop, and before the release PR to main. User says "run doc-writer for convoy " or "update docs for the bookmark badge change".

Inputs

  • The merged convoy file (.convoys/<slug>.md).
  • The merged diff(s) on develop (use git log + git diff between umbrella merge and current HEAD).
  • Existing CHANGELOG.md, DEVELOPER_CHANGELOG.md, AGENTS.md, README.md, and docs/help/ (or equivalent).

Outputs

A docs-only PR that may touch:

File When to update
CHANGELOG.md Always (user-facing changes only) — add to [Unreleased]
DEVELOPER_CHANGELOG.md When API, schema, or breaking change happened
AGENTS.md When a new convention emerged or an existing one shifted
.cursor/rules/<topic>.mdc When a new convention belongs in a glob-scoped rule
README.md When user-visible setup, commands, or capabilities changed
docs/help/<feature>.md When end users need new help content
docs/SCHEMA_MAP.md (regenerate) When Prisma schema changed — run npm run schema:map

Steps

  1. Read the convoy file and the merged diff.
  2. Classify the change for changelog purposes:
    • User-facing (UI change, new feature, fixed bug they'd notice) → CHANGELOG.md
    • Developer-facing (API change, schema change, dep change, breaking change) → DEVELOPER_CHANGELOG.md
    • Both → both files, written for the right audience in each
  3. Draft the CHANGELOG entry. Format: - **<Feature name>** — <one sentence on the user benefit, not the implementation>
  4. Decide if AGENTS.md needs an update. Trigger conditions:
    • New convention introduced (e.g. "all bookmark queries now use _count.bookmarks")
    • Existing convention shifted (e.g. "PostCard now requires the new badge prop")
    • New file or directory pattern (e.g. "new lib/flags/ directory")
  5. Decide if a new .cursor/rules/ file is warranted. Threshold: the convention applies to >3 future PRs and is glob-scopeable.
  6. Decide if README needs an update (rare).
  7. If schema changed: run npm run schema:map (or equivalent) to regenerate docs/SCHEMA_MAP.md. Commit the regenerated file in the same PR.
  8. Write all updates as a single docs-only PR. Use the existing PR template; add <!-- pipeline: skip a11y, design-system, smoke --> since it's docs-only.
  9. Print: "Docs PR drafted. Files changed: . Awaiting human review."

Style guide for changelog entries

  • User-facing: lead with the feature name in bold, then a dash, then the user benefit (not the implementation). Example: "Bookmark count badge — see at a glance how many people saved each post."
  • Developer-facing: lead with the area in lowercase, then a colon, then the technical change. Example: "posts API: _count.bookmarks now included in the default select for the home feed query."
  • Keep entries to one sentence. Link to the PR if the change needs more context.
  • Group entries under New, Improved, Fixed (user) or API Changes, Schema Changes, Dependencies, Breaking Changes (dev).

Hand-off

Docs PR opened. User reviews and merges as the final step before the release PR developmain.

Metrics

After producing the docs PR draft, emit one event with the convoy outcome:

bash scripts/log-convoy-event.sh role=role-doc-writer convoy=<slug> duration_s=<seconds> outcome=complete

Skip silently if scripts/log-convoy-event.sh does not exist (L3 not installed).

Anti-patterns

  • Writing implementation-detail changelog entries to the user-facing file → wrong, audience matters.
  • Updating AGENTS.md for one-off changes → wrong, AGENTS.md is for conventions, not history.
  • Forgetting to regenerate SCHEMA_MAP.md after a Prisma change → wrong, schema docs drift fast.
  • Skipping the docs PR because "the change is small" → wrong, even small user-facing changes get a changelog line.
