+# 2026-05-05 Autonomous Session Recap
+
+On 2026-05-05, ARCODANGE shipped a record 23 PRs to dance-lessons-coach using the Mistral Vibe autonomous multi-process pattern. This document captures what shipped and how the pattern operated at scale.
+
+---
+
+## What shipped
+
+PRs merged to main on 2026-05-05, grouped by ADR-0028 phase.
+
+### Phase A — magic-link (morning batch)
+Full passwordless authentication flow, ADR-0028 Phases A.1 through A.5:
+- **#56** :rocket: feat(server): api.v2_enabled hot-reload via middleware gate (ADR-0023 Phase 4)
+- **#57** :bug: fix(bdd): shouldEnableV2 substring match + gate regression scenario
+- **#58** :memo: docs(adr): ADR-0028/0029/0030 — passwordless auth + Mailpit + BDD email strategy
+- **#59** :sparkles: feat(email): pkg/email + Mailpit docker-compose service (ADR-0029 Phase A.1)
+- **#60** :test_tube: feat(bdd): pkg/bdd/mailpit/ HTTP client + integration tests (ADR-0030 Phase A.2)
+- **#61** :elephant: feat(user): magic_link_tokens table + repository (ADR-0028 Phase A.3)

+- **#65** :rocket: feat(user): magic-link expired-token cleanup loop (ADR-0028 Phase A consequence)
+
+### Phase B prep
+OIDC configuration groundwork, ADR-0028 Phase B.1:

+
+## How it works (high-level)
+
+The Mistral Vibe autonomous multi-process pattern compresses sprint-level throughput into a single day by parallelizing independent work streams.
+
+One task equals one isolated git worktree created via `git worktree add`. Each worktree branches from current `origin/main`, eliminating race conditions that previously plagued the harness (Q-038 fix via pre-fetched origin).
+
+One worker equals one `vibe -p` invocation reading a `CONTEXT.md` brief. The worker executes the full PR lifecycle end-to-end: code implementation, build and test, commit with conventions, push to remote, PR creation via Gitea API, and merge attempt. Multiple workers (typically 2-4) run concurrently in separate worktrees, each working on different files and features.
+
+A `dispatch-batch.sh` script orchestrates the parallel workers and handles cross-worker dependencies. For the rare gaps — price-cap restrictions, broken tests, or ambiguous requirements — a trainer takeover (~5% of cases, typically within 5 minutes) covers the edge cases without blocking the batch.
+
+See [documentation/MISTRAL-AUTONOMOUS-PATTERN.md](MISTRAL-AUTONOMOUS-PATTERN.md) for the complete pattern specification.
+
+---
+
+## Numbers
+
+- **23 PRs** Mistral autonomously merged to main in one calendar day
+- **95-100% autonomy** per batch; trainer takeover only for Q-058 and Q-062 edge cases
+- **Wall-clock parallel**: ~2 minutes for 2 PRs in a concurrent batch (vs ~3-4 minutes serial)
+- **Cost**: ~$0.50-1.50 per simple PR (documentation, minor changes), ~$2-3 per code-heavy PR (complex logic, multiple files)
+
+---
+
+## Why this matters
+
+The pattern compresses a sprint of work into a single day, shifting the operator role from execution to supervision. ADR-0028 (the passwordless auth migration) was essentially completed in this single session — Phase A (magic-link) fully shipped, Phase B (OIDC) advanced through B.4, with only Phase B.5 (BDD scenarios) remaining.
