### Task T001 - Review baseline and package context

**Started**: 2026-05-30 03:58 **Completed**: 2026-05-30 03:58 **Duration**: 4 minutes

**Notes**:

* Reviewed Session 01 baseline, Phase 06 routing matrix, Session 02 PRD stub, root project overview, architecture docs, Cloudflare Worker ADR, and package READMEs for protocol, Worker, and web.
* Confirmed cross-package scope is `packages/protocol`, `apps/warroom`, and `apps/web`; stable docs are also in scope.
* Current authority gap is that Worker lifecycle and socket flows are validated and redacted, but participant authority still primarily trusts caller-supplied participant ids and browser hints.
* Current worktree already contains unrelated spec archive moves and doc/package edits; this session will work with the existing dirty state without reverting unrelated files.

**Files Changed**:

* `.spec_system/specs/phase06-session02-room-authority-and-participant-identity-contracts/implementation-notes.md` - Created implementation evidence log and recorded cross-package scope.

**BQC Fixes**:

* N/A - setup and documentation evidence only.

***

### Task T002 - Verify focused baseline commands

**Started**: 2026-05-30 03:58 **Completed**: 2026-05-30 03:59 **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Ran focused pre-change War Room tests: `npx vitest run packages/protocol/tests/warroom.test.ts apps/warroom/tests/warroom.test.ts apps/web/tests/warRoomClient.test.ts apps/web/tests/warRoomStore.test.ts apps/web/tests/WarRoomPanel.test.tsx`.
* Result: 5 test files passed, 76 tests passed.
* Ran package typechecks: `npm --workspace packages/protocol run typecheck`, `npm --workspace @factionos/warroom run typecheck`, and `npm --workspace @factionos/web run typecheck`.
* Result: all three typechecks passed.
* No Cloudflare credentials, deployed Worker access, hosted auth, analytics, or hosted storage were required.

**Files Changed**:

* `.spec_system/specs/phase06-session02-room-authority-and-participant-identity-contracts/implementation-notes.md` - Recorded baseline command evidence and no-credential assumptions.

**BQC Fixes**:

* N/A - baseline verification only.

***

### Task T003 - Extend protocol authority contracts

**Started**: 2026-05-30 03:59 **Completed**: 2026-05-30 04:02 **Duration**: 3 minutes

**Notes**:

* Added shared authority envelopes with room code, participant id, role, room revision, issue time, expiration time, and Worker-issued opaque token.
* Added room revision and authority metadata to create, init, join, decision, and snapshot contracts.
* Added idempotency key support for create, join, and join decision request validators.
* Added deterministic error codes for missing, invalid, expired, mismatched, stale revision, and replayed authority inputs.

**Files Changed**:

* `packages/protocol/src/warroom.ts` - Added authority constants, types, error codes, response/request fields, and validators.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Trust boundary enforcement: added schema validation for authority envelopes, authority tokens, room revisions, and idempotency keys.
* Error information boundaries: new envelopes expose stable codes and bounded field names only, not tokens or raw request bodies.
* Contract alignment: protocol contracts now carry the revision and authority metadata Worker and web consumers need.

***

### Task T004 - Add protocol authority parser tests

**Started**: 2026-05-30 04:00 **Completed**: 2026-05-30 04:02 **Duration**: 2 minutes

**Notes**:

* Added tests for authority envelope parsing, socket authority token parsing, unknown authority fields, malformed role/code/token values, and revision/idempotency request parsing.
* Verified protocol coverage with `npx vitest run packages/protocol/tests/warroom.test.ts`.
* Verified package types with `npm --workspace packages/protocol run typecheck`.

**Files Changed**:

* `packages/protocol/tests/warroom.test.ts` - Added authority parser, type, enum, and malformed-input coverage.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Contract alignment: tests cover success and malformed shapes before Worker and web consumers use the fields.

***

### Task T005 - Create Worker authority helper

**Started**: 2026-05-30 04:02 **Completed**: 2026-05-30 04:09 **Duration**: 7 minutes

**Notes**:

* Added a room-local authority helper that issues opaque `wrp_` tokens, stores SHA-256 token hashes, verifies room/participant/role/expiration, prunes expired records, and detects duplicate or replayed idempotency keys.
* Authority records stay scoped to the Durable Object room boundary and do not require checked-in secrets, signing keys, hosted accounts, or Cloudflare credentials.

**Files Changed**:

* `apps/warroom/src/authority.ts` - Added authority issue, verify, expiration, rotation, idempotency, duplicate, and replay helpers.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Trust boundary enforcement: verification checks token possession against stored hashes and room/participant/role expectations.
* Error information boundaries: helper returns compact envelopes and does not persist raw authority tokens.
* Duplicate action prevention: idempotency helpers distinguish first, duplicate, and replayed mutation keys.

***

### Task T006 - Add Worker authority helper tests

**Started**: 2026-05-30 04:03 **Completed**: 2026-05-30 04:09 **Duration**: 6 minutes

**Notes**:

* Added helper tests for issue, raw-token exclusion from stored records, valid verification, missing authority, expired authority, mismatched authority, role mismatch, rotation invalidation, pruning, duplicate decisions, and replayed idempotency keys.
* Verified with `npx vitest run apps/warroom/tests/authority.test.ts`.

**Files Changed**:

* `apps/warroom/tests/authority.test.ts` - Added focused authority helper coverage.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Contract alignment: tests prove helper outcomes map to the protocol authority error vocabulary.

***

### Task T007 - Update Worker create, join, and snapshot behavior

**Started**: 2026-05-30 04:04 **Completed**: 2026-05-30 04:09 **Duration**: 5 minutes

**Notes**:

* Create/init now issues leader authority and returns `roomRevision`.
* Join now issues pending participant authority; duplicate joins require existing authority and rotate the participant authority response.
* Snapshot now requires participant authority through bounded query parameters and returns room revision metadata.

**Files Changed**:

* `apps/warroom/src/index.ts` - Added room revision state, persisted authority records, create/join/snapshot authority enforcement, and rehydration defaults.
* `apps/warroom/tests/warroom.test.ts` - Updated Worker lifecycle tests to pass authority-bearing requests and assert revision-bearing responses.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Trust boundary enforcement: snapshot and duplicate join paths no longer rely on participant id hints alone.
* State freshness on re-entry: duplicate joins rotate authority so clients can refresh stale room authority.

***

### Task T008 - Harden Worker approve and reject behavior

**Started**: 2026-05-30 04:05 **Completed**: 2026-05-30 04:09 **Duration**: 4 minutes

**Notes**:

* Approve/reject now require leader authority, expected room revision, and idempotency metadata.
* Duplicate decisions with the same idempotency key return the stored response with `duplicate: true`; reused keys with different decision fingerprints return `replayed_authority`.
* Approved participants keep their existing token possession while Worker-side role metadata is promoted; rejected participants have authority removed.

**Files Changed**:

* `apps/warroom/src/index.ts` - Added leader authority verification, stale revision errors, idempotency replay checks, participant authority promotion/removal, and revision increments.
* `apps/warroom/tests/warroom.test.ts` - Updated approve/reject tests for authority and duplicate-idempotent decisions.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Duplicate action prevention: decision idempotency prevents repeated approve/reject retries from mutating state twice.
* Concurrency safety: expected room revision rejects stale decision attempts before mutation.
* Failure path completeness: non-leader, stale revision, stale join, missing authority, and replay paths return explicit envelopes.

***

### Task T009 - Harden Worker socket and reconnect behavior

**Started**: 2026-05-30 04:06 **Completed**: 2026-05-30 04:09 **Duration**: 3 minutes

**Notes**:

* Socket setup now requires participant authority after participant and pending-state checks.
* Online/offline socket state increments room revision and replacement sockets still close the old socket before accepting the new one.
* Rehydrated Durable Object tests copy issued authority into the test room so reconnect/catch-up paths exercise stored authority.

**Files Changed**:

* `apps/warroom/src/index.ts` - Added socket authority token validation and revision updates for connect/disconnect state.
* `apps/warroom/tests/warroom.test.ts` - Updated socket and rehydration tests for authority-bearing socket URLs.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Resource cleanup: socket replacement and close handling continue to remove stale sockets and mark participants offline.
* State freshness on re-entry: reconnect requires current stored authority and revalidates persisted catch-up events.

***

### Task T010 - Extend Worker lifecycle tests

**Started**: 2026-05-30 04:09 **Completed**: 2026-05-30 04:11 **Duration**: 2 minutes

**Notes**:

* Added explicit lifecycle coverage for stale room revisions, malformed authority envelopes, mismatched duplicate joins, replayed idempotency keys, missing socket authority, malformed socket authority, and expired socket authority.
* Verified with `npx vitest run apps/warroom/tests/authority.test.ts apps/warroom/tests/warroom.test.ts`.
* Verified Worker package types with `npm --workspace @factionos/warroom run typecheck`.

**Files Changed**:

* `apps/warroom/tests/warroom.test.ts` - Added focused authority failure and replay lifecycle tests.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Failure path completeness: lifecycle tests cover bounded errors for stale, malformed, mismatched, replayed, missing, and expired authority.
* Error information boundaries: assertions check stable codes without raw token or request-body echo.

***

### Task T011 - Update web War Room client authority handling

**Started**: 2026-05-30 04:11 **Completed**: 2026-05-30 04:20 **Duration**: 9 minutes

**Notes**:

* Added authority-bearing create, join, snapshot, approve/reject, and socket handling to the web client.
* Added response parsing for authority and revision fields plus bounded authority error mapping.
* Verified with web client tests and `npm --workspace @factionos/web run typecheck`.

**Files Changed**:

* `apps/web/src/lib/warRoomClient.ts` - Added authority request fields, socket authority query construction, response guards, and safe authority failure mapping.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Trust boundary enforcement: client validates authority-bearing responses before store consumption.
* External dependency resilience: existing timeout handling now applies to authority-aware requests.
* Error information boundaries: authority errors map to bounded copy and do not echo response tokens.

***

### Task T012 - Update browser identity hint handling

**Started**: 2026-05-30 04:12 **Completed**: 2026-05-30 04:20 **Duration**: 8 minutes

**Notes**:

* Kept browser identity persistence limited to Worker URL, participant id, and display name hints.
* Added a helper so the store clears room authority when Worker URL or participant id changes.

**Files Changed**:

* `apps/web/src/lib/warRoomIdentity.ts` - Added `shouldResetWarRoomAuthority` without persisting authority tokens.

**BQC Fixes**:

* State freshness on re-entry: authority is reset when persisted hints point at a different Worker URL or participant.

***

### Task T013 - Update War Room store authority state

**Started**: 2026-05-30 04:12 **Completed**: 2026-05-30 04:20 **Duration**: 8 minutes

**Notes**:

* Added in-memory authority and authority status state.
* Create/join now store Worker-issued authority, connect/snapshot/socket paths require authority, and approve/reject send authority plus expected revision and idempotency keys.
* Hydration, Worker URL changes, leave, reset, rejected joins, expired/mismatched authority failures, and stale authority failures clear or mark authority state.

**Files Changed**:

* `apps/web/src/store/useWarRoomStore.ts` - Added authority state, request wiring, stale cleanup, failure status mapping, and revision-aware snapshot fallback.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Duplicate action prevention: decision requests carry idempotency keys while existing in-flight guards remain.
* State freshness on re-entry: hydration, Worker URL changes, connect, join decisions, leave, and reset clear or revalidate authority.
* Failure path completeness: authority failures update visible store error/status state instead of silently failing.

***

### Task T014 - Update War Room UI copy helpers

**Started**: 2026-05-30 04:16 **Completed**: 2026-05-30 04:20 **Duration**: 4 minutes

**Notes**:

* Added bounded labels for authority status and copy for missing, invalid, expired, mismatched, stale revision, and replayed authority errors.

**Files Changed**:

* `apps/web/src/lib/warRoomUi.ts` - Added authority labels and authority error copy.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Error information boundaries: UI copy does not include raw tokens, URLs, request bodies, or account wording.

***

### Task T015 - Update War Room panel authority display

**Started**: 2026-05-30 04:17 **Completed**: 2026-05-30 04:20 **Duration**: 3 minutes

**Notes**:

* Added visible authority state to the active room metrics.
* The panel reports authority as `None`, `Issued`, `Expired`, `Mismatch`, or `Stale`; it does not render raw authority tokens.

**Files Changed**:

* `apps/web/src/components/WarRoomPanel.tsx` - Added authority status display.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Accessibility and platform compliance: authority state is text, not color-only.
* Error information boundaries: no token or account-proof wording is shown.

***

### Task T016 - Document protocol authority ownership and proof limits

**Started**: 2026-05-30 04:20 **Completed**: 2026-05-30 04:24 **Duration**: 4 minutes

**Notes**:

* Documented `packages/protocol/src/warroom.ts` as the source of truth for non-hosted War Room authority envelopes, token bounds, room revisions, idempotency keys, expiration, and stable authority error vocabulary.
* Documented proof limits: authority proves possession of one Worker-issued room-local token, not hosted identity, organization membership, public collaboration safety, or trusted erasure.

**Files Changed**:

* `packages/protocol/README_protocol.md` - Added Phase 06 Session 02 authority ownership and proof-limit guidance.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Contract alignment: docs now route Worker and web consumers to shared protocol types instead of package-local authority shapes.
* Error information boundaries: docs state that authority errors must not echo tokens, request bodies, URLs, paths, diagnostics, or logs.

***

### Task T017 - Document Worker authority behavior

**Started**: 2026-05-30 04:20 **Completed**: 2026-05-30 04:24 **Duration**: 4 minutes

**Notes**:

* Documented Worker-issued room-local authority, hash-only Durable Object storage, current-authority requirements, expected revisions, idempotency keys, duplicate decision behavior, and replay failures.
* Expanded the stable Worker error-code list to include authority and revision failures.
* Kept non-hosted identity wording explicit for account proof, production auditability, public collaboration safety, and trusted deletion.

**Files Changed**:

* `apps/warroom/README_warroom.md` - Added Room Authority behavior and compact error guidance.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Trust boundary enforcement: docs now describe the Worker enforcement points for snapshot, duplicate join, decision, and socket setup.
* Error information boundaries: docs explicitly avoid raw-token persistence and output.

***

### Task T018 - Document browser authority state

**Started**: 2026-05-30 04:24 **Completed**: 2026-05-30 04:25 **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Documented browser authority as memory-only room state, separate from persisted Worker URL, participant id, and display name hints.
* Recorded authority reset behavior for hydration, Worker URL changes, participant changes, leave/reset, rejected joins, missing/invalid/expired/mismatched authority, stale revision, and replay failures.
* Preserved local-only fallback and non-erasure wording for Worker storage, browser hints, logs, archives, exports, replay buffers, backups, memory, settings, and future hosted data.

**Files Changed**:

* `apps/web/README_web.md` - Added Phase 06 War Room authority state guidance.

**BQC Fixes**:

* State freshness on re-entry: docs now list authority cleanup and stale-state conditions.
* Error information boundaries: docs state the UI must not display raw authority tokens or account-proof wording.

***

### Task T019 - Update stable API, privacy, and operations docs

**Started**: 2026-05-30 04:25 **Completed**: 2026-05-30 04:26 **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Updated the stable War Room Worker API reference with authority-aware create, snapshot, join, approve, reject, and socket shapes.
* Updated privacy inventory and transfer boundary docs for raw browser-held authority, hash-only Durable Object storage, idempotency metadata, and Phase 07/08 deferrals.
* Updated the War Room operations runbook with authority-required snapshot/socket checks and triage guidance for missing, invalid, expired, mismatched, stale, replayed, and non-leader failures.

**Files Changed**:

* `docs/api/README_api.md` - Documented authority-aware Worker API shapes, error codes, sensitive-output exclusions, and deferrals.
* `docs/privacy-and-security.md` - Added authority metadata inventory, transfer limits, privacy controls, and release risks.
* `docs/runbooks/war-room-operations.md` - Added authority-sensitive operational checks and failure triage.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Trust boundary enforcement: stable docs now identify which routes require current authority and expected revision.
* Error information boundaries: docs now explicitly exclude authority tokens from logs, diagnostics, URLs in incident notes, exports, replay state, and user-facing output.

***

### Task T020 - Extend web client authority tests

**Started**: 2026-05-30 04:17 **Completed**: 2026-05-30 04:20 **Duration**: 3 minutes

**Notes**:

* Updated web client fixtures for authority-bearing responses and socket URLs.
* Added authority error mapping coverage that excludes raw token-like response fields.

**Files Changed**:

* `apps/web/tests/warRoomClient.test.ts` - Added authority fixtures, request body checks, socket URL checks, and safe error mapping coverage.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Contract alignment: tests cover request and response shape changes.
* Error information boundaries: tests assert sensitive authority response fields are not surfaced.

***

### Task T021 - Extend web store authority tests

**Started**: 2026-05-30 04:17 **Completed**: 2026-05-30 04:20 **Duration**: 3 minutes

**Notes**:

* Updated store fixtures for authority-bearing create, join, connect, approve, reconnect, and Worker URL change flows.
* Added assertion that Worker URL changes clear authority and authority status.

**Files Changed**:

* `apps/web/tests/warRoomStore.test.ts` - Added authority fixtures and stale authority cleanup checks.

**BQC Fixes**:

* State freshness on re-entry: tests cover authority cleanup on Worker URL changes and hydration-controlled flows.

***

### Task T022 - Extend War Room panel authority tests

**Started**: 2026-05-30 04:18 **Completed**: 2026-05-30 04:20 **Duration**: 2 minutes

**Notes**:

* Updated panel fixtures for authority-bearing create, join, approve, and connect flows.
* Added visible authority-state assertions for local-only and issued authority states.

**Files Changed**:

* `apps/web/tests/WarRoomPanel.test.tsx` - Added authority fixtures and visible authority state checks.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Accessibility and platform compliance: tests verify authority state appears as visible text.

***

### Task T023 - Run focused tests and package typechecks

**Started**: 2026-05-30 04:27 **Completed**: 2026-05-30 04:28 **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Ran `npx biome format --write --files-ignore-unknown=true` against the touched TypeScript and documentation paths before final validation; Biome formatted 14 files and fixed 6 files.
* Ran focused War Room tests: `npx vitest run packages/protocol/tests/warroom.test.ts apps/warroom/tests/authority.test.ts apps/warroom/tests/warroom.test.ts apps/web/tests/warRoomClient.test.ts apps/web/tests/warRoomStore.test.ts apps/web/tests/WarRoomPanel.test.tsx`.
* Result: 6 test files passed, 84 tests passed.
* Ran package typechecks: `npm --workspace packages/protocol run typecheck`, `npm --workspace @factionos/warroom run typecheck`, and `npm --workspace @factionos/web run typecheck`.
* Result: all three typechecks passed.

**Files Changed**:

* `.spec_system/specs/phase06-session02-room-authority-and-participant-identity-contracts/implementation-notes.md` - Recorded focused validation evidence.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Contract alignment: final focused tests and package typechecks validate the protocol, Worker, and web authority contract together.

***

### Task T024 - Validate ASCII encoding and LF line endings

**Started**: 2026-05-30 04:28 **Completed**: 2026-05-30 04:29 **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Ran an explicit touched-file encoding check for non-ASCII bytes and CRLF line endings across 22 session files.
* Result: ASCII and LF validation passed for all 22 files.

**Files Changed**:

* `.spec_system/specs/phase06-session02-room-authority-and-participant-identity-contracts/tasks.md` - Marked final task and completion checklist done.
* `.spec_system/specs/phase06-session02-room-authority-and-participant-identity-contracts/implementation-notes.md` - Recorded encoding and line-ending validation evidence.

**BQC Fixes**:

* N/A - encoding and closeout validation only.

***

## Session Closeout

* Tasks completed: 24 / 24.
* Focused tests: 6 War Room-related test files passed, 84 tests passed.
* Typechecks: protocol, Worker, and web package typechecks passed.
* Encoding: 22 touched files passed ASCII and LF checks.
* Blockers: 0.
* Ready for the validate workflow step.
* Repo-root `npm test` initially surfaced `apps/warroom/tests/worker.test.ts` expectations that still reflected the old hint-only snapshot and decision flow. The test was aligned with the current authority token and post-join revision contract, then the full repo test suite was rerun successfully.
