decision-graph-for-suede#

Task#

Run /decision-graph against the suede repository: build a deciduous decision graph from the repo's commit history, capturing the design evolution (process layer spine + UI scaffolding side narrative) with grounded node descriptions and complete edge threading.

Decisions#

  • Treat the process layer (AGENTS.md evolution, git workflow rule, release model, decision-graph integration, defensive gitignore) as the spine of the graph — the design question that keeps getting re-answered.
  • Treat the UI scaffolding (bits-ui + stylebase wrappers) as a side branch from the root goal — independent track, branched from the same root, not from the process layer.
  • Skip pure implementation commits: 344cafb (Storybook dependency bump) is a routine upgrade with no model change; fa5d685 (task note for the bootstrap) is a record, not a decision — captured as a small action node.
  • Backdate all archaeology nodes to the date of the commit they describe, not to today.
  • For commits that bundle multiple decisions (5a9fda9 bundles three; e430a03 bundles two; c273b91 adds four gitignore lines that map to one decision), model each logical decision as its own decision/option cluster, all sharing the action node.
  • For the task-lifecycle skill's "Before starting" branch-setup step added in e430a03, fold it into the action description (one commit) rather than carving out a separate decision.
  • Cross-link the prior cleanup thread (nodes 1-5) to the c273b91 outcome — "defensive gitignore was insufficient; full removal followed" — so a future reader sees the full arc.

Actions#

  • Layer 1 (all commits): git log --all --oneline | wc -l → 11 commits. Read each commit's stat and full message.
  • Layer 2 (keyword): git log --grep for bits|stylebase|chronver|AGENTS|stack|release|story|chrom|version|Sentry|Axiom|tag|Stack|Layout|bootstrap → no commits missed.
  • Foundation observation (node 7): stock SvelteKit template ships with separate stack.md and vendor-specific config.
  • Bootstrap cluster (5a9fda9, nodes 8-19): three decisions (process-doc location, task-records location, enforcement mechanism) → one action (creates AGENTS.md, task template, task-lifecycle skill) → one outcome.
  • Process updates cluster (e430a03, nodes 20-29): two decisions (stack contents, git workflow) → one action (trims stack, adds git workflow, extends task-lifecycle) → one outcome.
  • Bootstrap task note (fa5d685, node 30): small action, no decision (record only).
  • Release cluster (4e3f42e + f2411d2, nodes 31-43): one observation → two decisions (version model, first version) → two actions (Releases section, version bump) → two outcomes.
  • Decision-graph cluster (770b7d0, nodes 44-49): one observation → one decision (where deciduous doc lives) → one action (260-line AGENTS.md section) → one outcome.
  • Defensive gitignore cluster (c273b91, nodes 50-55): one observation → one decision → one action → one outcome. Cross-link to cleanup goal.
  • UI scaffolding cluster (341d364, nodes 56-64): one decision (UI primitives) → one action → one outcome → one observation → one revisit → one pending option (hybrid styling).
  • Marked all historical action/decision/outcome/observation nodes as completed for clarity (archaeology — the events happened).
  • Set option statuses: completed for chosen, rejected for not chosen, pending for the deferred hybrid-styling option.
  • Synced graph: deciduous sync → docs/graph-data.json (64 nodes, 77 edges).

Files touched#

  • .deciduous/deciduous.db — graph storage (local, gitignored)
  • docs/graph-data.json — synced graph export (gitignored, regenerable)
  • agent-notes/2026-06-04-02-decision-graph-for-suede.md — this task note

Verification#

  • deciduous nodes — 64 nodes: 2 goal, 25 option, 10 decision, 11 action, 8 outcome, 7 observation, 1 revisit
  • deciduous edges — 77 edges: every chosen/rejected/leads_to edge has a reason string
  • deciduous pulse — clean: 43 completed, 14 rejected, 7 pending (cleanup goal + 4 cleanup actions + revisit + pending hybrid-styling option)
  • deciduous serve --port 3939 — starts and exposes the graph viewer
  • deciduous graph (audit) — all outcomes have parent actions; all actions have parent decisions; all options have parent goals/observations; the only valid orphans are the two root goals (cleanup thread + repo-design thread)
  • Cross-link edge 77: 54 → 1 (leads_to) — the defensive-gitignore outcome explicitly leads to the cleanup thread, capturing the full arc

Follow-ups / stubs#

  • The deferred revisit (node 63) and its pending option (node 64) capture the "next step" the 341d364 commit message called out: hybrid global data-attribute CSS + per-component overrides for the UI wrapper styling. When a future commit picks this up, mark the revisit superseded and the option completed, link to a new action.
  • The 4e3f42e Releases section describes pnpm version 2026.6.4 normalizing leading zeros; the 770b7d0 Decision Graph section, the c273b91 gitignore, and the cleanup all sit in the same PR (4 commits ahead of origin/feat/install-bits-ui-stylebase). When the PR merges to main, a future session can add a single outcome node capturing "Suede v2026.6.4 released; PR merged; tag applied" — to close the loop on the Releases section.
  • The cross-link edge 54 → 1 is the only connection between the two graph threads (cleanup and repo-design). If a future task grows either thread, that edge may need a sibling (e.g., a revisit on the "should we commit CLAUDE.md after all" question, given deciduous's installer behavior).
  • The deciduous revisit model says "force reconsideration of previous approach" — node 63 is more of a "deferred decision" than a true pivot. If the user wants a stricter model, we could split into revisit (the question) + option (the candidate) + a future decision when the user picks the hybrid strategy. For now, the current shape captures the "we know this needs a follow-up" semantics adequately.
