# GLUECRON BUILD BIBLE

**This file is the single source of truth for the GlueCron build.**

**Every Claude agent MUST read this file in full before touching code. No exceptions.**

GlueCron is a GitHub replacement — AI-native code intelligence, green ecosystem enforcement, git hosting, automated CI. It is production infrastructure for multiple downstream platforms. Production cannot stop.

---

## 1. AGENT POLICY (READ FIRST, FOLLOW ALWAYS)

### 1.1 Required reads at session start
1. `BUILD_BIBLE.md` (this file) — complete
2. `CLAUDE.md` — stack + architecture
3. `README.md` — user-facing overview
4. Most recent commit on the current branch (`git log -1 --stat`)

### 1.2 Do-not-undo rule
- Anything listed in **§4 LOCKED BLOCKS** is shipped and must not be deleted, renamed, or semantically altered without the owner's explicit written permission in the current session.
- "Refactor" is not permission. "Clean up" is not permission. "Simplify" is not permission.
- If a locked file seems wrong, open an issue in the plan and keep going on a new block.

### 1.3 Continuous-build rule
- The owner runs many parallel projects. Do not stop work to ask for clarification that can be inferred from this file.
- Default behaviour when a block is partially complete: **finish it, run tests, commit, push, start the next block**.
- Only stop for genuinely blocking decisions: destructive operations, architectural reversals, requests outside this plan, or repeated test failures you can't diagnose.
- Never stop because "the session might run out." Commit what works and keep building.

### 1.4 Branch + commit rules
- Development branch: whatever the current session was told (check session opening message). Fall back to `main` if none given.
- One commit per completed block. Message format: `feat(BLOCK-ID): <summary>`.
- Push after every commit with `git push -u origin <branch>`.
- Never force-push. Never `--no-verify`. Never amend published commits.

### 1.5 Quality bars (non-negotiable)
- `bun test` must pass before every commit.
- New features ship with tests in `src/__tests__/`.
- New routes use `softAuth` or `requireAuth` middleware.
- New DB tables have a corresponding migration in `drizzle/`.
- AI features use `isAiAvailable()` guards and degrade gracefully without `ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`.
- Every user-facing failure mode has a fallback — no 500s reach the UI.

### 1.6 Green-ecosystem-by-default
- Every new repo auto-configures: gates on, branch protection on, labels seeded, CODEOWNERS synced, welcome issue posted.
- Users can opt out per feature but defaults are maximum-green.
- Nothing broken ever reaches production, the website, or the customer.

## 3. BUILD PLAN (BLOCKS)

Each block is a self-contained unit. Order matters for dependencies. Each block ends with tests + commit + push.

### BLOCK A — Hardening the current surface
Polish what's shipped before adding more. **Priority: do this first if parity gaps are minor.**
- **A1** — Dark/light theme toggle (cookie, CSS variable swap)
- **A2** — Audit log UI page (`/settings/audit` + `/:owner/:repo/settings/audit`)
- **A3** — Reactions UI on issues / PRs / comments (data exists)
- **A4** — Draft PR toggle + filter
- **A5** — Issue + PR templates (`.github/*_TEMPLATE.md` auto-prefill)
- **A6** — Saved replies per user
- **A7** — Environments + deployment history UI (`deployments` table)
- **A8** — Email notifications (opt-in, SMTP via env)

### BLOCK B — Identity + orgs
- **B1** — Organizations (schema: `organizations`, `org_members`, `teams`, `team_members`)
- **B2** — Repos owned by orgs (nullable `repositories.orgId`)
- **B3** — Team-based CODEOWNERS (`@org/team` resolution)
- **B4** — 2FA / TOTP (enroll, recovery codes)
- **B5** — WebAuthn / passkeys
- **B6** — OAuth 2.0 provider (third-party apps can request access)

### BLOCK C — Runtime + hosting
- **C1** — Actions-equivalent workflow runner
  - Workflow YAML parser (`.gluecron/workflows/*.yml`)
  - Job queue + worker pool (Bun subprocesses)
  - Artifact storage + log streaming
  - Integrates with gates
- **C2** — Package registry (npm + container protocol)
- **C3** — Pages / static hosting (`gh-pages` branch → served at `<owner>.<repo>.pages.gluecron.com`)
- **C4** — Environments (prod/staging/preview) with protected approvals

### BLOCK D — AI-native differentiation
This is where GlueCron beats GitHub outright. **Priority: ship these loud.**
- **D1** — Semantic code search (pgvector + Claude embeddings)
- **D2** — AI dependency updater (reads lockfile, opens PRs, verifies green)
- **D3** — AI PR triage agent (auto-assigns reviewers, labels, milestones)
- **D4** — AI incident responder (on deploy failure, opens issue with root cause)
- **D5** — AI code reviewer that blocks merges (enforced via branch protection "AI approval required")
- **D6** — AI "explain this codebase" on repo landing (auto-generated, cached)
- **D7** — AI changelog for every commit range (`/:owner/:repo/ai/changelog?from=...&to=...`)
- **D8** — AI-generated test suite (reads public API, generates failing tests)
- **D9** — Copilot-style completion endpoint for IDE plugins

### BLOCK E — Collaboration parity
- **E1** — Projects / kanban boards (`projects`, `project_items`, `project_fields`)
- **E2** — Discussions (forum threads per repo)
- **E3** — Wikis (git-backed, separate bare repo per repo)
- **E4** — Gists (user-owned tiny repos)
- **E5** — Merge queues (serialised merge with re-test)
- **E6** — Required status checks matrix (multiple named checks per branch protection rule)
- **E7** — Protected tags

### BLOCK F — Observability + admin
- **F1** — Traffic analytics per repo (views, clones, unique visitors)
- **F2** — Org-wide insights (green rate across all repos)
- **F3** — Admin / superuser panel (user moderation, repo audit)
- **F4** — Billing + quotas (storage, AI tokens, bandwidth)

### BLOCK G — Mobile + client
- **G1** — PWA manifest + service worker
- **G2** — GraphQL API mirror of REST
- **G3** — Official CLI (`gluecron` binary in Bun)
- **G4** — VS Code extension

### BLOCK H — Marketplace
- **H1** — App marketplace (install third-party apps against a repo)
- **H2** — GitHub Apps equivalent (bot identities with scoped permissions)

- `c.header("X-Request-Id", ...)` set by request-context on every response.
- Secret scanner skips binary/lock paths (`shouldSkipPath`).
- `SECRET_PATTERNS` is an exported array. Its shape is `{ type, regex, severity }`.

## 6. SESSION WORKFLOW (WHAT THE NEXT AGENT DOES)

1. Read this file, `CLAUDE.md`, `README.md`, `git log -1 --stat`.
2. Check `git status` + current branch.
3. Pick the next unfinished block from §3 (lowest letter + number first, unless owner specifies).
4. Create a todo list that mirrors the sub-items of that block.
5. Build. Write tests. Run `bun test`.
6. Commit with `feat(<BLOCK-ID>): ...`.
7. Push.
8. Update this file:
   - Move the block's row in §2 to ✅ where applicable.
   - Add the block's files to §4 LOCKED BLOCKS.
   - Commit + push again.
9. Start the next block. **Do not stop to ask.**

If a block is too large for a single session, split it into a sub-plan at the top of the session, ship what you can, and document what's left at the end of this file under a `## 7. IN-FLIGHT` section.

---

## 7. IN-FLIGHT

(Intentionally empty. Add here if a block is partially complete at session end.)
