SP1b — "Runnable: product" — is the sub-project that makes feedback-o-tron
installable and runnable by someone who has never seen it. This PR adds the
plan document only.
Nothing here implements it, and nothing here touches the
engine.

What is in the PR

File Change
docs/superpowers/plans/2026-09-08-sp1b-runnable-product.adoc New. 5,151 lines, 20 tasks.
docs/superpowers/specs/2026-09-07-fot-everywhere-design.adoc +28/−8. Records the two rulings taken on 2026-09-08.

The plan argues from the spec, so both travel together.

The two rulings, now written into the spec

  1. Pre-ledger rule, CLI only. The CLI prints the entire payload and
    refuses to send without a typed y. No tty means no send. There is no
    --yes flag.
    In SP1b the MCP and HTTP doors accept reports but do not
    send. Task 7 implements this.
  2. Stranger-test target. The rehearsal files into this repository with a
    [stranger test] title prefix, closed straight after. Task 20 asserts on
    the title prefix only: POST /issues silently drops labels from a
    sender without push access, so a genuine stranger's report arrives
    unlabelled and a label assertion would be a cell that fails for exactly the
    person the test is named after.

Version rule

elixir-mcp/mix.exs @version "1.0.0" is canonical. The four other files
carrying a version — stapeln.toml, guix.scm, .machine_readable/6a2/STATE.a2ml
and the groove manifest — are made to follow it. They currently disagree; the
tag v1.0.0 already exists.

What was actually rehearsed, and what was not

The document's honesty convention is that a step claims a plain PASS only if
it was really run. Two commands reproduce the split:

P=docs/superpowers/plans/2026-09-08-sp1b-runnable-product.adoc
grep -io 'not rehearsed' "$P" | wc -l   # 24
grep -io 'rehearsed'     "$P" | wc -l   # 52  (includes the 24 above)

24 places are explicitly marked "not rehearsed" — expectations, written as
expectations, several with the specific failure modes to expect and what to do
about each. The remaining 28 mentions are positive; two of them are the Global
Constraints lines that define the convention and three are prose, so the
document claims a rehearsed result in roughly two dozen cells. Everything
rehearsed was run under Elixir 1.19.5 / OTP 27 on 2026-09-08.

Worth knowing about the unrehearsed ones: Task 12's mise steps cannot pass
today (the config is untrusted, which is the defect that task removes), Task
13 builds no image (none was built while writing), and Task 12's Guix steps
are unrunnable here — guix is not installed on this host.

Two stated widenings, both droppable

Neither was in the approved scope. Both say so in the document, in place.

  • Step 17.4 changes two lines of the privacy notice in the AI installation
    guide and leaves the other twenty-four alone. The approval said that notice
    stays verbatim; both lines were measured to be untrue as written. A privacy
    notice is the one block here whose whole value is that every sentence in it
    is true. Drop the step and every other step stands.
  • Task 19 fixes 0-AI-MANIFEST.a2ml, which the approval records nowhere.
    It is the file whose leading 0- exists to sort first for an assistant, and
    it points at a binary that no longer exists. Note for the standing A2ML
    ruling: the edit is confined to a documentation block inside the manifest
    (prose and fenced code at :133-146) plus two binary names via sed; it
    does not touch A2ML grammar or any key structure. Nothing else in the plan
    consumes this task, and the closing section already records the defect, so
    dropping it costs only the fix.

About the gates on this PR

Measured on the live ruleset (Optimus-Branch, id 10974255) today, not
assumed:

  • Required contexts are CodeQL, CodeRabbit and
    governance / Code quality + docs. CodeRabbit reviews by comment and emits
    no check runs at all
    , so that context can never report — it is permanently
    unsatisfiable, not merely pending.
  • require_code_owner_review: true against a CODEOWNERS of * @hyperpolymath,
    with you as the author. An author cannot approve their own PR, so this is
    also unsatisfiable. required_approving_review_count: 0 is a decoy — it does
    not switch code-owner review off.

So a merge here demonstrates the admin pull_request bypass, not green
gates.
That is a property of the ruleset, not of this document; it is called
out so the merge is not read as evidence the checks passed.

Merging

You merge this. I will not.

Execution of the plan waits for the merge. Task 20 in particular may not be
run by an agent at all: its send step is a real issue to a real repository,
and the confirm gate exists precisely so that a person decides that.

SP1b is "Runnable: product" — the sub-project that makes feedback-o-tron
installable and runnable by a stranger, and it blocks every later
sub-project. This is the plan document only. No code changes here.

Twenty tasks, each with the files it touches, the reason the current
state is broken, real Elixir and bash rather than descriptions of them,
and an explicit expected result. Verification cells claim a plain PASS
only where the command was actually run in a worktree under Elixir
1.19.5 / OTP 27; everything else says "not rehearsed" and names the
failure modes to expect. Thirteen cells are rehearsed, twenty-four are
marked unrehearsed.

The spec gains the two rulings made on 2026-09-08. The pre-ledger rule
is CLI-only: the CLI prints the entire payload and refuses to send
without a typed y, a non-tty is a refusal, and there is no --yes flag;
the MCP and HTTP doors accept reports but do not send in SP1b. The
stranger test files into this repository with a [stranger test] title
prefix and is closed immediately. The paragraph that said the conflict
"awaits ruling" now records which option was taken.

Task 19 is a stated widening of the approved plan — the AI manifest's
MCP stanza is missing its mcpServers wrapper, so it configures nothing
in any host that reads it. It is marked droppable in the document.

A closing section records ten things measured while writing and
deliberately not fixed here, including a Dialyzer job that reports
green while running no static analysis.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation
    • Updated the design specification to record the conflict as resolved on 8 September 2026.
    • Documented the pre-ledger submission rules, including confirmation requirements for non-dry-run CLI submissions and handling by MCP and HTTP interfaces.
    • Added the “stranger test” acceptance criteria and clarified that the related proposal is closed.

Walkthrough

The design specification records the 2026-09-08 ruling. It defines pre-ledger CLI submission safeguards, MCP and HTTP behaviour, and the stranger-test target. It also marks the proposal conflict as closed.

This documentation-only change does not alter current runtime behavior, but its command contract and stranger-test acceptance criteria should be clarified before merge to avoid implementing the safety gate at the wrong boundary or accepting malformed reports.

Name the public command in the ruling.

The ruling defines the gate for submit, but the public CLI is fot send at Line 541. The implementation plan also names submit/3 as a private function in docs/superpowers/plans/2026-09-08-sp1b-runnable-product.adoc:1518-1546. State the rule for fot send, and refer to submit/3 only as the implementation hook. Otherwise the pre-ledger gate can be applied to an internal function while the user-facing command remains unclear.

The test asserts on the *title prefix only* — `POST /issues` silently
drops `labels` from a sender without push access, so asserting on a label
would pass for the owner and fail for exactly the stranger the test is
named after.

Assert report content as well as the title prefix.

The SP1b acceptance criterion at Line 580 requires one useful report to land. A title-only assertion allows an issue with the correct prefix but an empty or incorrect body to pass. Keep the title-prefix assertion because labels are unreliable for a stranger, and add a stable body marker or verify the created issue content.
