Codex Archive System V3.1 Build Notes

v3.1 notes are now extended by Codex Archive System v3.2 Fragment Feed Notes. Use v3.1 as runtime cleanup context and v3.2 for current feed/fragments behavior.

v3.1 is a runtime polish and operations cleanup patch layered on v3+.

Operator value prop:

• Ship clean and stay clean: mobile reading stays locked in-frame, and the active inbox reflects real pending work.

Work chunks and wins:

1. Mobile overflow containment Value prop: No horizontal drift on feed/graph mobile sessions, so reading stays anchored.

   • Add horizontal overflow guards at global layout level.
   • Collapse graph list grid earlier on small screens to prevent width blowout.

2. Feed readability consistency Value prop: Operators can scan atlas/meta labels at a glance without contrast strain.

   • Raise low-contrast footer/atlas labels from dim token usage to readable mid token usage.
   • Normalize small UI labels toward shared 12px conventions where intended.

3. Honest inbox activation Value prop: The human operator can move from detected source to published object without mixing live work and completed work.

   • Name the operator loop explicitly: Talk -> Confirm -> Hand-off -> Ping-back.
   • Add scripts/finalize-approved-ready.mjs so post-confirmation work can run as one system handoff.
   • Add scripts/promote-ready.mjs for the deliberate inbox/ready -> canonical publish step.
   • Require explicit operator approval via --approve before canonical files are written.
   • Require an approval note and append promotion records to logs/promotion-log.ndjson.
   • Require --approve-all for batch promotion so one broad command cannot masquerade as item-level review.
   • Add scripts/reconcile-inbox.mjs to archive ready drafts once they have canonical objects/ counterparts.
   • Extend scripts/cleanup-inbox-drop.mjs with --auto-published for source-payload sweeps discoverable from ready/archive-ready drafts.
   • Write cleanup audit records to both inbox/archive/ready/cleanup-log.ndjson and inbox/archive/drop/cleanup-log.ndjson.
   • Keep active inbox/ready/ limited to real pending review.
   • Operator shorthand: keeping the beast fed :) and not chewing cud

No schema expansion is proposed in v3.1. No new object type is proposed in v3.1.
