Journal entry for the compass init session and the first generated status board, published as pinned issue #23.
1.1 KiB
Project journal
Append-only, newest first. Entries are never edited — the value of this file is
that it records what was believed at the time, including the parts that turned out
wrong. Where things stand today is in STATUS.md, which is generated.
Four lines per entry. The analysis belongs in the issue or the decision record; this file carries the reasoning and the pointers.
- Why — the driver. The one line git cannot reconstruct later.
- Obligates — issues this change created elsewhere. Numbers, not prose.
- Refs — commits, issues, decision records.
2026-08-23 · packaging · compass initialised, five workstreams defined
Why: the package had no tracking at all — one open issue, a NEWS changelog, and
no record of why anything was decided. Workstream boundaries follow how the code
actually goes stale, not the directory listing: colors stay with theme because the
scales are consumed by the themes, and packaging is its own stream so CI and
dependency drift file against something.
Obligates: #21, #22
