# Implementation Summary

**Session ID**: `phase19-session08-file-and-git` **Package**: null **Completed**: 2026-06-26 **Duration**: 3 hours

***

## Overview

Session 08 shipped the File/Git command-center executor family across protocol, server, hooks, web, tests, and docs. It adds file intent conflict protection, bounded Git previews and execution results, guarded-action Git execution wiring, hook attribution promotion, and a product-facing File/Git workbench in the web Orchestration surface.

The shipped behavior keeps the local-first boundary intact: broad REST, WebSocket, hook, and UI surfaces use repo-relative labels and bounded summaries only. Raw diffs, command bodies, terminal output, absolute paths, provider payloads, and secrets remain outside broad surfaces.

## Technical Decisions

1. **Protocol-first File/Git vocabulary**: Shared enums, parsers, and labels prevent server, hook, and web drift for executor and guarded-action kinds.
2. **Manager-owned runtime state**: `FileIntentManager` and `GitWorkbenchManager` own cleanup, idempotency, mutation locks, validation, timeout handling, and redacted snapshots instead of spreading behavior across routes.
3. **Bounded public Git plans**: Preview and execution responses redact commit and stash messages, raw argv, stdout, stderr, diffs, and absolute paths, while the internal runner still receives validated argv.
4. **Policy-blocked push by default**: Git push remains unavailable unless external Git execution is explicitly enabled by server configuration.
5. **Hook observations stay non-executing**: Hook handlers emit compact attribution metadata only; the server decides whether observations can be promoted into command-center records.

## Lessons Learned

1. File/Git executor work needs separate validation for broad public summaries and internal runner arguments; the code review caught and fixed message argv exposure before completion.
2. Idempotency keys should be scoped by mutation class so declaration and resolution actions cannot collide.
3. WebSocket sanitizers must evolve with protocol metadata or live UI state can lose required conflict and ownership context even when hydration routes are correct.

***

## Future Considerations

Items for future sessions:

1. Continue Phase 19 with Heroes And Lineage so File/Git attribution can sit alongside richer agent identity and lineage context.
2. Keep terminal, container, remote, Worker, and hosted execution out of broad run paths until their separate threat, permission, audit, tests, and docs gates are satisfied.
3. Reuse the File/Git duplicate-trigger and public-summary patterns for later executor families.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://faction-os.gitbook.io/faction-os-docs/.spec_system/archive/sessions/phase19-session08-file-and-git/implementation_summary.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
