Randall Stillwell 7832e03dec docs: post-convoy cleanup for add-rate-limiting — MILESTONE, last P0 closed
Reflects the merged add-rate-limiting convoy (PR #20, squash commit
708ef45) in repo documentation. **This is the milestone cleanup** —
add-rate-limiting closed P0 #6 (No rate limiting anywhere), the LAST
open P0 ship-blocker. `.convoys/ship-readiness.md`'s § Status summary
flips from "7 of 8 RESOLVED; 1 remains" to **"8 of 8 RESOLVED.
Launch-readiness P0 checklist is empty."** One brief in the convoy:
Brief 1 shipped as planned with no scope expansions and no implementer
deviations from the verbatim spec; all six architect decisions ratified
verbatim at gate 1 (D1 operator-ratified Option A; D2-D6
architect-self-ratified).

.convoys/add-rate-limiting.md:
  - frontmatter status: in-progress -> shipped (added shipped: 2026-05-24)
  - new ## As-shipped section. Opens with the milestone language
    pointing back at ship-readiness.md's flipped § Status summary.
    Decisions section captures all 6 ratifications (D1 operator-
    ratified Option A — Critical: WHY the atomic admin UI fix in
    pages/admin/card-import.js was Decision 1's hidden coupling
    requirement, since API gating alone would have broken every
    "Import Cards" click; D2 hybrid named-limiter shape with
    Map<className, Ratelimit> cache; D3 per-class table including
    the two D3 tuning-evidence raises — search 30 -> 60/min because
    ShareModal.handleSearch has no debounce so a 17-char email = 16
    requests in <5s, and generate kept at 5/hour because DiceBear is
    free not paid AI; D4 two-extractor shape with defensive THROW
    on null/empty userId; D5 uniform 429 message; D6 no new vitest
    or playwright specs deferred to fill-vitest-handler-coverage).
    As-shipped surface broken into 4 layers (1 lib refactor + 6 route
    gates + 1 atomic admin UI fix + 1 rule extension) mirroring the
    cors-tighten cleanup's pattern-split shape. Empirical CI metrics
    from post-merge run 26382185019 (Playwright smoke 59s 3/3 in
    3.8s, forbidden-cors-headers pass, vitest 21/21, lint 128 baseline,
    Screenshot diff continue-on-error swallow per Decision 4).
    Cross-validation finding: smoke test 2 still passes against the
    post-rate-limit preview — that's three convoys in a row (PR #15
    Layout default-user, PR #19 CORS-tighten, PR #20 rate-limiting)
    where the same 3-test smoke spec defended the auth surface
    through sweeping changes. Operator-action-required: none. What
    did NOT change audit trail.

.convoys/ship-readiness.md:
  - § Status summary at the top flipped from 7/8 to 8/8 RESOLVED.
    Header text updated to "Launch-readiness P0 checklist is empty."
    P0 #6 row in the table flips from PARTIAL to RESOLVED with the
    two-convoy lineage (fix-auth-bypass Brief 4 + add-rate-limiting).
    Trailing paragraph rewritten as a milestone note: security gate
    closed; remaining launch work is P1 quality bar + P2/P3 polish.
  - P0 #6 entry flipped from PARTIAL to RESOLVED with the full
    add-rate-limiting as-shipped block (8 sub-bullets covering the
    lib refactor shape, the per-class table, the defensive THROW,
    the three import routes' auth-gating, the atomic admin UI fix
    and WHY, the rule extension, the 6 decisions, and the diff
    breakdown). Brief 4's 2026-05-23 partial is preserved as the
    prior as-shipped layer to maintain the audit trail.
  - Launch sequence step 4 marked RESOLVED 2026-05-24 with the
    squash commit + smoke metrics inline.
  - Queued convoys: removed the add-rate-limiting entry (it shipped).
    Added a new delete-dead-lorcana-import entry (P3 polish; the
    Lorcana import route was gated defensively in PR #20 despite
    zero current frontend callers — pages/admin/card-import.js's
    <select> only offers mtg + pokemon — so if Lorcana stays
    permanently out of the admin UI, this is the cleanup PR).
    Added three "flagged but kept out of scope" follow-ups per the
    convoy's § What did NOT change: harden-multipart-parser (P2;
    5MB body still consumed before the 429 path on avatar.js),
    god-function-split / refactor-cards-search-sql (P2; 240-line
    7-branch SQL in cards/search.js), and withAdmin(handler) wrapper
    extraction (P3 DX; the three import routes are call sites #3-5
    in the codebase but uniform inline shape was preserved for
    convoy atomicity). Updated tighten-visual-diff-path-filter to
    note PR #20 also tripped the same false-positive.

AGENTS.md:
  - Gotcha #12 extended end-to-end. Was the single-class auth-only
    lib + the env-var contract; is now the 5-class reality with a
    full per-class table (helper / limit-window / key / routes),
    the defensive THROW pattern in extractUserIdentifier, the
    gate-ordering rule for per-user limiters, and the
    auth → admin-role → rate-limit ordering for the three import
    routes. Prominent milestone line opens the new content:
    "add-rate-limiting convoy (squash 708ef45, PR #20, 2026-05-24)
    closed P0 #6 — all 8 P0s now RESOLVED." Original env-var
    contract paragraph (KV_REST_API_URL / KV_REST_API_TOKEN,
    fail-closed-in-prod / warn-and-noop-in-dev) is preserved
    verbatim above the new content.
  - § 6 Testing: intentionally untouched (no test surface changed;
    vitest 21/21 and smoke 3/3 still apply).
  - § 7 Deployment: intentionally untouched (no deployment-shape
    changed; same KV_REST_API_* env vars from Brief 4).

.cursor/rules/api-routes.mdc:
  - The implementer extended § Rate limiting in PR #20 with the
    per-class table + verbatim call shape + gate-ordering rules +
    identifier-extraction + uniform 429 + fail-closed env-var
    contract + fail-open Upstash-outage behavior. Doc-writer pass
    verified completeness; added a one-sentence convoy-attribution
    line at the top of § Rate limiting citing the two-convoy
    lineage (fix-auth-bypass Brief 4 for the auth class +
    add-rate-limiting for the other four classes and 7 newly-gated
    routes), mirroring the post-cors-tighten § CORS attribution
    shape. No other touch-ups needed.

No changes to: package.json, package-lock.json, lib/rate-limit.js,
pages/**, components/**, scripts/**, test/**, tests/**,
.github/workflows/**, README.md, TESTING_GUIDE.md, playwright.config.js,

Convoys

A convoy is a multi-PR work-stream coordinated by an agent pipeline. One convoy = one feature, bug fix, or epic. Each convoy is a Markdown file in this directory plus an optional sub-directory of implementer briefs.

File layout

.convoys/
├── README.md                              (this file)
├── <slug>.md                              (the convoy file — written by role-conductor)

    ├── brief-1-<kebab-title>.md           (written by role-architect)
    ├── brief-2-<kebab-title>.md

Convoy file format

Frontmatter (set by role-conductor, then appended-to by other roles):

---
name: <kebab-slug>
classification: feature | hotfix | docs-only | infra-only | server-only | config-only
success_metric: <one sentence>
skip:
  - <flag1>
status: open | in-progress | merged | shipped | abandoned
created: <YYYY-MM-DD>
---

Body sections (added in order by the pipeline roles):

  1. ## Why (Conductor)
  2. ## Scope (Conductor)
  3. ## Roles invoked (Conductor)
  4. ## Todos (Conductor → refined by Architect)
  5. ## IA (IA Architect)
  6. ## UX (UX Reviewer)
  7. ## Architecture (Architect)

After Architect, briefs live in .convoys/<slug>/brief-N-*.md. Implementers read only their brief, not the whole convoy.

Skip flags

The Conductor sets skip: based on classification. These flags map to pipeline stages that no-op when set:

Flag Skips
ia IA Architect
ux UX Reviewer
arch Architect
test Component tests
review Reviewer
visual Visual diff
a11y A11y auditor
design Design-system auditor
smoke Staging smoke
qa Manual QA
docs Doc Writer
flag Flag rollout

Never skipped (mandatory human gates): plan-approval, pr-merge, prod-promote.

Status lifecycle

  • open — Conductor created the convoy; no work started.
  • in-progress — At least one brief has an open or merged PR.
  • merged — All briefs merged to umbrella; release PR to develop pending.
  • shipped — Release to main complete; flag rollout (if any) underway.
  • abandoned — Convoy closed without shipping; reason in convoy body.

Update status by editing the convoy frontmatter as you progress.

Adding a new convoy

  1. Open Cursor in this repo.
  2. Prompt: "Start a new convoy: . Success = ."
  3. The role-conductor subagent writes .convoys/<slug>.md.
  4. Run subsequent roles in order per the convoy's Roles invoked list.

See .cursor/agents/role-conductor.md for the Conductor's full spec.

Multitask + worktrees (Cursor 3.2+)

Cursor 3.2 (Apr 24, 2026) added /multitask async subagents and native worktree management in the Agents Window. The pipeline uses both:

Audit fan-out — after an implementer ships a PR draft:

/multitask role-reviewer + role-design-system-auditor + role-a11y-auditor

All three read the same diff and emit independent comments. Use group id audit-<convoy>-<pr> so analytics can compute wall-clock savings.

Implementer fleet — after architect's plan is approved (gate 1), if slice_dependencies: declares parallel-safe briefs (depends_on: [], disjoint files:):

/multitask role-implementer briefs 1, 2, 3

Use Cursor's Agents Window to create a worktree per brief — one click each. The legacy scripts/wt.sh is now a deprecation stub.

See the multitask playbook for the full guardrail set.

Self-analytics

Each L2 role appends one event to .convoys/.metrics.jsonl via scripts/log-convoy-event.sh. The file is gitignored by default — events stay local. To opt-in to commit team-shared metrics, remove .convoys/.metrics.jsonl from .gitignore.

Aggregate across repos and render a dashboard with the agent-pipeline analytics scripts:

cd ~/code/agent-pipeline/analytics
npx tsx analyze-convoys.ts <repo-path> [<repo-path>...]
npx tsx render-dashboard.ts
open ~/agent-pipeline-data/dashboard.html

Schema: analytics/schemas/convoy-event.json.
