Enter — prepare the shared reproduction and acceptance journey #133

Outcome

Another participant can follow the selected November scenario, distinguish demonstrated behavior from missing pieces, and give the founder a useful review/testing packet.

Planning window: __enter__, 9–15 November, preparing __init__ reproduction on 16–22 November.

Ownership

Debayan coordinates design, support, integration preparation and tests with both pairs. Developers own their changes and help reproduce one another's work. The founder reviews and approves every code change. Debayan coordinates evidence and integration support without approval or adoption authority. Merge and promotion follow CONTRIBUTING.

Coordination — 11 November

Keep a visible current result and one proposed next slice per pair, informed by actual availability and review capacity. The developers propose approaches and may cross specialties; Debayan prepares priorities, acceptance and reproduction with them, while founder architecture/code authority remains unchanged.

Use the four foundation tasks routed from #52 to gather one common request/result envelope. Reuse their demonstrations for cross-pair knowledge transfer: the other pair explains the general flow and reproduces one step, without requiring a lecture on every subsystem. Keep substantive decisions and evidence in the owning public issue/PR.

Foundations and shared learning: first share request → API/admission → durable data → execution → retained result, including basic availability/dispatch, failure and cleanup. Nav and Anshuk explain their backend passage; Chirayu and Kiran explain the client handoff and preservation of human edits/assessments/results. Use #152's one stored result plus linked human feedback, then retrieve it after restart; distinguish a visible save, a committed record, effect completion and a later learning label. Each pair reproduces one step from the other. Introduce the general agentic/SDLC handoffs from founder-led #40 when useful; deeper study follows selected work. Capture misunderstandings and the next small correction, not a requirement to master the whole stack immediately.

Acceptance

• Bring Enter — design one request/result passage from Discord to the founder PC #131 and Enter — design an Altar task people can inspect and steer #132 together around one request/result contract and a short list of founder decisions.

• Write reproducible steps for the selected baseline with source/profile identity, prerequisites and expected observations. Keep repository checks, fixture behavior, dated receipts and a real joined trial separate.

• Prepare a small acceptance matrix: useful bot question; selected PC task and result; unrecognized caller; disconnected PC; interruption/unknown outcome. Mark unsupported cases and what can be tested independently.

• Carry forward the useful residuals of Developer experience — isolated Altar and backend development #53, Documentation — remove filler and clarify contributor entrypoints #58, Onboarding: partner engineer first-week checklist (Snayu ↔ Mechanimous) #105, Secrets: partner-safe credential and receipt handling SOP #106 and Testing: repository baseline (make test-ci) for active engineers #108: engineer access/OCI blockers, current developer-fixture browser trial, clear contribution/setup instructions and credential/receipt handling. Orientation being complete does not prove these technical checks. Keep Repository governance — security reporting, branch rules and release promotion #73's non-admin contribution trial with Repository governance — security reporting, branch rules and release promotion #73.

• Arrange a cross-pair reproduction in Init, capture concrete failures and propose a small Iter repair rather than quietly widening the tickets.

• Prepare a concise tutorial/demo outline that can later support the developer preview. No video quota or finished Composition is required in Enter.

• Prepare one bounded public contributor opportunity from a reproduced need: purpose, exact starting revision, prerequisites, expected result/report, verification and an acceptance contact. A candidate idea is not yet a newcomer-ready task.

• Have someone other than its author try the entry steps before inviting contributors to that task or applying good first issue. Public issues and CONTRIBUTING provide the complete route; private-board access and Discord membership are unnecessary.

• Connect the prepared opportunity to Demo and contributors — prepare one repeatable scene and public invitation #156 and capture product/audience questions as findings or proposed bounded work. Do not assume future contributors provide committed delivery capacity.

Checkpoint: a reviewed design/testing packet and named environmental blockers by the Enter→Init handoff. At most one review-ready code slice per pair should wait for the founder; use waiting time for reproduction, design feedback and repairs.

Acceptance authority: Debayan reports evidence and recommends next steps; the founder reviews/approves code and architectural choices. Existing repository protections and CONTRIBUTING remain in force.

Start: #52 · Baseline owners: #18, #8, #11 and #37 · Later release reproduction: #45.
