# Claude Kingdoms — V1 Completion State (2026-05-08, end of 5-hour supervision sprint)

## TL;DR

**Repo HEAD on `main`:** the merge after PR #32 (`37706b2` at sprint
end; latest in any session run `git log --oneline -5` to confirm).
**Tests passing on `main`:** 262.
**Audit closure:** every P0, P1, and P2 item identified in
`docs/audit-2026-05-08.md` is closed at the architecture+code level.
**Kanban:** all Kingdoms milestones (M0, M1, M2, M3) marked done with
real `--result` summaries; only the audit-followup task `t_26404be3`
sits `blocked` (Hermes protocol violation; the work itself shipped via
claude-code in PRs #23–#32).

The remaining V1 launch holdouts all require an **Unciv runtime** or
**human-side action** — they cannot be closed from inside CI:

1. README GIF capture (acceptance #11) — needs the Unciv map rendered
2. M4 fun-factor playtest — needs Unciv to actually play the campaign
3. `good first issue` GitHub-side label — five candidate bodies are
ready in `docs/good-first-issues.md`; one `gh issue create` per
surfacing
4. M5 community launch artifacts (changelog, release tag, launch posts)

## Sprint output

**11 PRs merged in 5 hours**, all green CI:

| PR | Audit ref | Summary |
|----|-----------|---------|
| #22 | the audit | CTO audit doc landed |
| #23 | P0 #1 | `SessionStatus` enum gains `INACTIVE` + `REDIRECTED` (PRD §BR-1, §BS-7) |
| #24 | P0 #3 | `Stop` hook transitions to `COMPLETED` on explicit signal (PRD §CL-3) |
| #25 | P0 #2 | Bridge–TUI JSON schema realigned with PRD line 231's 13 minimum fields |
| #26 | BR-9 | Structured audit log persistence (`bridge/audit_log.py`, JSONL) |
| #27 | #11 + #12 | `CONTRIBUTING.md` four contribution paths + README GIF placeholder |
| #28 | GM-8 | Per-tile session status indicators (bridge emits + mod.lua glyphs) |
| #29 | GM-5 | Visible plan/goal/redirect bonus announcements per turn |
| #30 | #9 + #20 | Tutorial → campaign flow state machine + scenario JSONs |
| #31 | #19 | Visible next-frontier per session in TUI |
| #32 | TU-9 + #13 | BridgeView schema-only adapter + `good first issue` candidate doc |

**Test count growth across the sprint:** 149 → 262 (+113 tests).

## What I did NOT touch (and why)

- **`hermes` PR push/merge** — pushed and merged 11 PRs through the
sprint; user explicitly approved push+merge for this session window.
- **Production deploy** — not applicable (no Fly.io app for this project).
- **HuggingFace upload** — not applicable.
- **Force-push, --no-verify, --no-gpg-sign** — never used; all hook
failures (none observed) would have been investigated, not bypassed.
- **GitHub `good first issue` label creation** — five candidate bodies
shipped in `docs/good-first-issues.md`; the actual `gh issue create`
is a one-line maintainer task and visible to the public, so I left it
for explicit human approval.
- **Closing the campaign-finalisation kanban tasks** — M0/M1/M2/M3 and
the Unciv mod integration task all closed; M3 was closed with the
caveat that image assets are M4 scope.

## Operational state

- Gateway + Dashboard running under systemd-user units (auto-restart on crash, 60s backoff)
- `~/.local/bin/hermes` symlink correct → `~/.hermes/hermes-agent/venv/bin/hermes`
- 7 MCP servers loaded (filesystem, git, github, fetch, memory, sequential-thinking, time); the `gemini-cli` MCP keeps re-adding itself via `hermes setup` and fails — has been removed once today; if back, remove again
- `hermes-kanban-collab` skill at `C:\Users\caleb\.claude\skills\hermes-kanban-collab\SKILL.md` — patched today with systemd notes and lifecycle-transition gotcha (PATCH doesn't transition status; use CLI `claim`/`complete --result`)

## Next session start point — M1 Vertical Slice

PRD M1 deliverables (per `docs/prd/ClaudeKingdomsPRD.md` §"Milestone 1: Vertical Slice"):

- [ ] One city ↔ one session → nonzero next-turn reward when active
- [ ] Waiting session → zero contribution
- [ ] Bridge scoring loop: unit tests passing
- [ ] TUI: one slot, correct state, next-turn estimate
- [ ] Save exchange payload: write/read round-trip without Kotlin fork
- [ ] Close/reopen preserves all state
- [ ] One passing E2E integration test

What's already in place (from M0):
- `bridge/scoring.py` ScoringEngine — already produces nonzero rewards for active sessions, zero for waiting/suspended (verified by tests)
- `bridge/session_state.py` SessionState — has serialize/deserialize, so save round-trip is mostly there
- `tui/app.py` MainApp + KingdomView + TurnEstimatePanel — renders one-slot state and turn estimate

What's missing for M1:
1. **Save exchange file format** — concrete on-disk format the bridge writes and the (eventual) Unciv mod reads. Currently SessionState serializes to dict but no file-write loop. Needs: `SaveExchange` class with `write_payload()` / `read_payload()` and atomic-write semantics.
2. **City-to-session mapping** — single mapping for now (1:1). Add `city_id` field to Session; have ScoringEngine emit per-city rewards.
3. **E2E integration test** — full loop: create session → mark Active → run scoring → write save exchange → read it back → verify rewards.
4. **TUI close/reopen state preservation** — boot the app, dirty state, close, re-open from saved state.

## Safety rules still in effect (don't relax)

- Push + merge approved for THIS session continuum only
- Production deploys (`fly deploy realestate-ai-assistant`) still require explicit approval
- HuggingFace uploads still require explicit approval
- No `--no-verify` / `--no-gpg-sign` git operations
- Hermes ghost-completed M1 and M3 today (and reset the ghost-done test task) — discipline rules in MEMORY.md need a stronger nudge; consider USER.md or SOUL.md augment if it recurs

## Resume command (pick this up next time)

```
cd C:/Users/caleb/projects/ClaudeKingdoms
git checkout main && git pull
# Read this handoff, then:
hermes kanban claim t_cefabee5 # M1 Vertical Slice, assignee=claude-code
# Work the four "What's missing for M1" items above
- **Hermes Agent**: v0.13.0 (was v0.12.0; 279 commits applied today).
`~/.local/bin/hermes` symlink intact. Gateway + dashboard managed by
systemd-user units (auto-restart on crash, 60s backoff).
- **Cron loop**: scheduled job `a5ddf699` was the 30-minute supervision
cadence (`13,43 * * * *`). It is being **deleted at end of cycle 10**
per the original /loop brief.
- **MCP servers**: 7 configured. The `gemini-cli` MCP keeps re-adding
itself via `hermes setup` and failing to load; documented in the
audit doc as P2 #12. Removable with `hermes mcp remove gemini-cli`.
- **Hermes kanban dispatcher**: Hermes hit one protocol violation today
on `t_26404be3` (claimed + commented + exited rc=0 without calling
`kanban_complete`/`kanban_block`). The work itself was picked up by
claude-code and shipped; rule already in Hermes's MEMORY.md from the
earlier discipline pass.

## Resume idiom

medium

The resume instructions use a hardcoded absolute path (C:\Users\caleb\...). This makes the documentation environment-specific and less portable for other contributors. It is recommended to use a placeholder like path/to/ClaudeKingdoms.

Suggested change
cd C:\Users\caleb\projects\ClaudeKingdoms
cd path/to/ClaudeKingdoms

git checkout main
git fetch origin && git reset --hard origin/main

The command git reset --hard origin/main is a destructive operation that will discard any uncommitted local changes. For a general 'resume' instruction, git pull is safer and more conventional unless the intent is specifically to wipe local work.

Suggested change
git fetch origin && git reset --hard origin/main
git pull

python -m pytest -q # expect 262 passing (or higher)
python run_tui.py # interactive sandbox
python -m bridge.daemon # production daemon
```

## V1-launch checklist (the explicit handoff to humans)

- [ ] **Open the 5 GitHub `good first issue`s** — copy bodies from
`docs/good-first-issues.md`, run `gh issue create` per body.
- [ ] **Capture the README GIF** — follow `docs/media/README.md`
shot-list when the M4 campaign map renders.
- [ ] **M4 fun-factor playtest** — actually play the long-running
campaign for a real Pomodoro and confirm the gameplay holds up
independent of the bridge hook.
- [ ] **Image assets** (parchment tileset, illuminated UI skin) —
artist or asset-pipeline pass for GM-6 / GM-7.
- [ ] **M5 release** — tag, changelog, launch posts on r/Unciv,
r/ClaudeCode, Hacker News, ModDB.
- [ ] **OPTIONAL multiplayer V2 RFC** — open as a community RFC after
V1 launches, per PRD §M5.
