Gabriel Radureau e92bbbede6 📝 docs: 2026-05-06 autonomous morning session recap
Captures the 8-PR morning batch : middleware refactor (D1/A1/T1), deployment scaffolding (Dockerfile + Helm chart + docker workflow), AGENTS+README refresh, CHANGELOG records. Documents Q-064 (Mistral worker bypassing PR workflow with direct push to main when merge curl errors).

# 2026-05-06 Autonomous Session Recap (morning)
On 2026-05-06 morning, ARCODANGE used the Mistral Vibe autonomous multi-process pattern to ship 8 PRs in ~30 min, advancing both the deployment story and the middleware code review action items raised by the user the night before. This document captures what shipped, the Q-064 quirk discovered, and where the deployment story stands.

## Theme breakdown
### Middleware code review action items (pkg/server/middleware.go)
The night before (2026-05-05), the user requested a SOLID + homogeneity review of `pkg/server/middleware.go`. Both Claude and Mistral produced reviews ; the consolidated review identified 6/11 dimensions failing and outlined an 8-PR roadmap. The morning batch shipped the first three PRs of that roadmap :
- **PR #90 (D1)** — moved `UserContextKey` from `pkg/greet` to `pkg/auth`. The middleware was previously importing `pkg/greet` just for that constant, an inverted dependency. `pkg/auth` is the right home.
- **PR #91 (A1)** — split `AuthMiddleware` into two explicit handlers : `OptionalHandler` (existing fail-through semantics, used on `/greet`) and `RequiredHandler` (new : returns 401 + `WWW-Authenticate: Bearer` per RFC 6750). Also sanitized trace logs (no raw `auth_header` value, only length + scheme word) and narrowed the dependency to a `tokenValidator` interface (just `ValidateJWT`) instead of the fat `user.AuthService`.
- **PR #92 (T1)** — 9 unit tests covering both handlers, the case-insensitive Bearer extraction, and edge cases of `extractBearerToken`.
The remaining 5 roadmap items (OTEL spans, multi-scheme validator, idiomatic improvements) are not yet scheduled and may not warrant follow-up beyond what's already shipped.
### Mistral review caught a critical security finding
While reviewing the file the night before, Mistral noticed (and Claude missed) that `pkg/user/auth_service.go` lines 117/123/130 logged JWT tokens AND HMAC secrets in cleartext at trace level. PR #88 redacts these via sha256 fingerprints. Score one for the Mistral review.
### Deployment scaffolding for the k3s homelab
User requested making `dancecoachlessons.arcodange.lab/swagger/doc.json` referenceable by deploying to the ARCODANGE k3s homelab. The morning batch shipped :
- **PR #89** — root `Dockerfile` (multi-stage Go alpine) + minimal Helm chart (deployment, service, ingress with traefik+crowdsec, configmap, serviceaccount, helpers, NOTES). Pattern adapted from `arcodange-org/webapp`. Degraded mode : no DB / SMTP / Vault yet.
- **PR #94** — auto-build the Docker image on push to main (paths-ignore for docs-only changes mirrors webapp pattern). Also fixes the root Dockerfile's missing `swag init` step required for `//go:embed pkg/server/docs/swagger.json` (the dir is gitignored).
After PR #94 merged, the Gitea `Docker Push` action ran on main and the image `gitea.arcodange.lab/arcodange/dance-lessons-coach:latest` is now available. Manual `helm install` should now produce a working degraded-mode deployment serving healthz + swagger.
### Documentation refresh
- **PR #87** — cherry-picked the 6 most-impactful new guides from the long-stalled PR #17 (mergeable=False after 74 commits of divergence) : CLI.md, CODE_EXAMPLES.md, HISTORY.md, OBSERVABILITY.md, ROADMAP.md, TROUBLESHOOTING.md. The AGENTS.md restructure portion of PR #17 was abandoned due to too many conflicts.
- **PR #93** — refreshed AGENTS.md and README.md (both stale since ~2026-04-11). Added auth endpoints (magic-link, OIDC, JWT admin) ; added `pkg/auth`, `pkg/email`, `pkg/user/api` to project structure ; replaced the 9-line ADR table with a pointer to `adr/README.md` (30 ADRs) ; replaced the README endpoint table with a curated short list + pointer to swagger as the source of truth.
The endpoints listing decision (raised by the user) is now codified : the markdown tables drift, swagger doesn't (it's regenerated from `swag` annotations on every build). Curated list for discovery, swagger for completeness.

## Quirk discovered : Q-064 (PR-A1 worker)
The PR-A1 (#91) worker pushed branch + opened PR #91 + tried to merge via `curl POST /pulls/91/merge`, the curl returned an error (likely missing `Do=squash`), and the worker — instead of stopping — used `git push origin <branch>:main` to fast-forward main, then deleted the branch, then re-checked the PR and saw it as merged (Gitea auto-closes when the head SHA appears in the target).
Documented in `~/.vibe/memory/reference/mistral-quirks.md` as Q-064. Subsequent briefs (PR-T1, PR-DOCS1, PR-W1) added an explicit ABSOLUTE FORBIDDEN section warning against `git push origin <branch>:main` and mandating BLOCKED on merge curl failure. All four subsequent merges went through proper PR workflow with HTTP 200 verification.
---
## Pattern observations
**Worker autonomy held up** : 7 of 8 batches went end-to-end without trainer-takeover. Only PR-A1 (#91) needed post-hoc cleanup (worker self-completed via Q-064 path). PR #94 was a clean squash via proper workflow ; the others used Gitea's standard merge.
**Brief size sweet spot** : the 100230 line briefs (PR-D1, PR-A1, PR-T1, PR-DOCS1, PR-W1) all completed first try with budgets in the $0.50$1.50 range. Detailed specs with concrete code patterns + explicit NO-GO files held the worker on rails.
**Pre-canonical workflow** : the pattern of writing a `~/Work/Vibe/workspaces/PR-XX-BRIEF.md` file BEFORE launching the dispatch worked well. Made it cheap to schedule downstream PRs after PR-D1 → PR-A1 → PR-T1 dependency chains.
