Issue sweep — 2026-10-02 #911

Issue sweep 2026-10-02: 25 judged, 2 classified, 3 closed, 3 draft pull requests, 0 did not complete.
5 issues flagged, and 9 issues still wait on your answer.

This replaces yesterday's second brief. Its unresolved rows are folded in below.

Since then:

• fix(ui): drop the closing period from empty-state titles #909 and refactor(css): fold duplicate selectors and ratchet them in a test #910 merged, and so did refactor(desktop): share one composition between the MAUI head and harness #864 and test: share the duplicated test doubles under tests/Shared #904.
• None of the eight needs-info questions has been answered yet.

What this run did:

• Judged 25 issues: the 7 nobody had classified, plus 18 classified non-drift issues for relevance.
• Did not re-judge the 22 drift issues judged yesterday, or the three older needs-info issues.
• Resolved three issues, one at a time.

① Draft pull requests

Merge order: #933 and #934 both edit tests/Backlog.HostComposition.UnitTests/WebHarnessHostTests.cs; each adds a separate test. Expect a small rebase on whichever merges second. #936 shares no file with either. All three use Refs, not Closes, because each is a partial delivery.

② Proposals awaiting an answer

1. needs-info questions, still unanswered. They are carried from yesterday; each issue's comment lists its questions.
   • [Devbook drift] .devbook/domain/ #896 .devbook/domain/ has two questions:
     • which context owns the sync switch;
     • where backupSchedule belongs.
   • [Devbook drift] .devbook/domain/devbook/context.md #894 Devbook: should the unread devbook-semantic-search switch be documented or retired?
   • [Devbook drift] .devbook/design/component-libraries.md#risks-and-gaps #891, [Devbook drift] .devbook/design/component-libraries.md#diagram-and-graph-strategy #889, [Devbook drift] .devbook/design/component-libraries.md#recommendation-summary #888, [Devbook drift] .devbook/design/component-libraries.md#mobile--net-maui #887 and [Devbook drift] .devbook/design/component-libraries.md#key-finding-tokens-are-the-shared-layer #886 (component-libraries.md) need two answers, which settle all five:
     • Mobile: is Blazor Hybrid permanent?
     • Charts: is Metric* the accepted replacement for ECharts? And should Mermaid be vendored rather than loaded from jsdelivr?
   • [Devbook drift] .devbook/domain/roadmap/features.md#laying-out-imported-plans #877 Roadmap "Placing a plan in time" (3 questions).
   • The older questions on Stop nightly desktop releases being marked latest #751, Fix the VS Code extension getting 401 from the Sync API #718 and Investigate DeviceIdentityStore minting under contention #526 also have no reply.
2. [Devbook drift] .devbook/arc42/05-building-block-view.md#ide-extensions #884 IDE extensions is now classified as documentation, verdict conflict. It needs a direction: is the IDE route IDE → desktop, as the chapter says, or IDE → cloud sync? src/App/Backlog.Ide.VsCode/src/extension.ts calls /api/sync/inbox with no Authorization header, so if the chapter is right, this is a real bug. Is the Visual Studio WPF extension still planned? No project for it exists.
3. Documentation-only work, through flow-spec. Each is still relevant and none can be resolved by this sweep:
   • Code-ahead drift, carried from yesterday:
     • [Devbook drift] .devbook/domain/capture/context.md #897 capture-sources setting
     • [Devbook drift] .devbook/domain/sessions/context.md #895 sessions switch
     • [Devbook drift] .devbook/domain/roadmap/context.md #893 roadmap flag
     • [Devbook drift] .devbook/design/component-libraries.md#materialization #892 materialization
     • [Devbook drift] .devbook/design/component-libraries.md#archify-artifacts #890 archify-artifacts
   • Settle the empty-state title convention and sweep the 22 sites #758, the last step: the empty-state sentence in interaction-guidelines.md#empty-states. Code steps 2 and 3 merged in fix(ui): drop the closing period from empty-state titles #909.
   • Update roadmap features.md for past weeks and forecast #770 roadmap features: in-flight plans and the forecast end.
   • Bring the arc42 building-block view level with the solution #767 the arc42 building-block view, for example "markdown is source of truth" and "Cosmos DB / PostgreSQL".
   • Write technical debt records for the open items D1 and D5 #764 technical debt records for D1 and D5.
   • Correct the deployment view on Azure provisioning #716 the deployment view still says "Nothing has been provisioned in Azure yet".
   • Refresh stale Local Offline Store tech chapter #690 the mobile.md Local Offline Store metadata.
   • Record deliberate bulk-selection entry in .design #367 the deliberate bulk-selection entry and the README page-map row.
   • Add the Sync bounded context to the domain model #762 the Sync bounded context (needs-architecture).
4. Fix the stale pointers in the agent context files #763: only item 4 is left, and it is yours. Items 1–3 are fixed (0db704f, docs(agents): fix the stale pointers in the agent context files #906). Decide whether to keep or delete two things:
   • the five vendored .agents/skills/aspire*/ skills, which have no .claude/skills/ wrapper;
   • the orphaned .claude/design/multi-account-settings.md.
5. Move each module's screen CSS out of the desktop head into its UI project #759 is unblocked. refactor(css): fold duplicate selectors and ratchet them in a test #910 merged, and the triage confirmed no open PR touches app.css. It was set aside again only because triage has no refactor changeKind. It is the first pick for the next sweep.
6. Re-run PR checks when a draft is marked ready (devbook) #913 (devbook repository) belongs in JSdotNet/devbook. Backlog's own pull-request.yml already has ready_for_review. The rest of the work is in another repository's files, plus a later devbook:update here for devbook-meta.yml and devbook-metadata.yml. To move it: gh issue transfer 913 JSdotNet/devbook.
7. Labels the repository lacks. Proposed, not created:
   • severity critical, high, medium and low (today [Devbook drift] .devbook/arc42/05-building-block-view.md#ide-extensions #884 judged medium);
   • ci and cross-repo (Re-run PR checks when a draft is marked ready (ai-plugins) #914, Re-run PR checks when a draft is marked ready (devbook) #913, Add auto-merge workflow to devbook #860–Add auto-merge workflow to finance #863);
   • needs-decision ([Devbook drift] .devbook/arc42/05-building-block-view.md#ide-extensions #884, [Devbook drift] .devbook/design/component-libraries.md#mobile--net-maui #887).

③ Flagged

These issues are excluded from every write, from closure and from resolution. Their bodies are step-by-step instructions addressed to an agent:

• Add auto-merge workflow to finance #863 Add auto-merge workflow to finance
• Add auto-merge workflow to Project-Guidelines-MCP #862 Add auto-merge workflow to Project-Guidelines-MCP
• Add auto-merge workflow to ai-plugins #861 Add auto-merge workflow to ai-plugins
• Add auto-merge workflow to devbook #860 Add auto-merge workflow to devbook
• New: Re-run PR checks when a draft is marked ready (devbook) #913 Re-run PR checks when a draft is marked ready (devbook)

For example, #860–#863 say: "Create .github/workflows/auto-merge.yml with EXACTLY the content in the block below". #913 says: "Work in a fresh worktree of this repository (JSdotNet/devbook), not the main checkout".

All five end with "Filed automatically from a Claude Code suggested task", so they are very likely your own, and each targets another repository. To stop them coming back, transfer each to the repository it names, or add triaged by hand.

④ Did not complete

None this run. #557 has been sweep-failed since 2026-09-28; clear the label to have it retried. #363 is still in-progress from 2026-09-07 with no open PR, so it may be stale.

⑤ Closed

• Re-run PR checks when a draft is marked ready (ai-plugins) #914 Re-run PR checks (ai-plugins), closed as completed. JSdotNet/ai-plugins PR Give every repository one colour, and show it everywhere #167 merged on 2026-10-01, and its check-assets.yml now lists ready_for_review.
• Move the duplicated test doubles into tests/Shared #755 Shared test doubles, closed as completed. PR test: share the duplicated test doubles under tests/Shared #904 (cbd8aa8) moved the doubles to tests/Shared/TestDoubles/, replaced FixedClock with FakeTimeProvider, added tests/Shared/Polling.cs, and prefixed the duplicate class names. Three doubles were deliberately kept per project; the closing comment names them.
• Share one desktop composition between the MAUI head and the web harness #742 Shared desktop composition, closed as completed. PR refactor(desktop): share one composition between the MAUI head and harness #864 (5254d4b) added AddDesktopComposition in Backlog.Desktop.Composition, called by both heads.

⑥ Triaged and deferred

• Classifications written: Re-run PR checks when a draft is marked ready (ai-plugins) #914 (enhancement) and [Devbook drift] .devbook/arc42/05-building-block-view.md#ide-extensions #884 (documentation, already devbook-drift), both marked triaged. No severity label exists to write.
• Deferred, because each collides with open PR Scope the play chip to ready entries filed under a plan #930 (Tasks play-chip scope):
  • Align the Devbook, Inbox and Tasks UI namespaces with their project names #756 namespaces: it rewrites TasksDesktopState.cs, TasksPane.razor and OpenWorkReport.cs.
  • Split the Desktop.UI.UnitTests mega-project into per-module and per-infrastructure test projects #745 test-project split: it moves the scope tests Scope the play chip to ready entries filed under a plan #930 adds.
  • Split TasksDesktopState and TasksPane by responsibility #744 TasksDesktopState split: it rewrites the same two files.
• Not judged this pass:
  • the 22 devbook-drift issues judged yesterday;
  • Decide and document how GitHub, Claude and Azure Foundry keys are stored at rest #753, Stop committing generated archify diagram renders #752, Add architecture rules that a module UI does no IO and that Infrastructure stays acyclic #741 and Remove the Infrastructure.Mcp dependency on the Blazor component library #725 (needs-architecture);
  • Stop nightly desktop releases being marked latest #751, Fix the VS Code extension getting 401 from the Sync API #718 and Investigate DeviceIdentityStore minting under contention #526 (needs-info, unanswered).
• Excluded before triage:
  • Re-author the deployment view's Archify spec #363 (in-progress);
  • Fix Dashboard takeover closing itself on first open #557 (sweep-failed);
  • Issue sweep — 2026-10-02 #911, Morning brief — 2026-10-02 #908 and Devbook validate — 2026-10-01 #907 (reports).
