# Implementation Summary

**Session ID**: `phase20-session01-truthful-capability-baseline` **Package**: null **Completed**: 2026-06-28 **Duration**: 0.5 hours

***

## Overview

Completed the Phase 20 baseline that prevents metadata-only orchestration paths from being presented as executable. File executor readiness now stays non-ready until real file mutation exists, guarded file approvals return non-executing state, queue and campaign controls use record/tracking wording, observed hero lifecycle controls record intent instead of claiming process control, and docs now describe the same boundaries.

## Technical Decisions

1. **Use existing non-ready vocabulary**: The baseline keeps the current protocol statuses and applies them truthfully instead of adding new execution contracts before later Phase 20 sessions.
2. **Leave internal dispatch route names in place**: Session 01 changes user-visible behavior and copy while Sessions 02 through 05 own executable payloads and route reshaping.
3. **Keep observed lifecycle controls record-only**: Hero sessions remain observed unless a future managed session controller proves process ownership.

## Test Results

| Metric        | Value                            |
| ------------- | -------------------------------- |
| Focused Tests | 65 passed                        |
| Full Tests    | 2983 passed, 1 skipped           |
| Format        | PASS                             |
| Lint          | PASS                             |
| Typecheck     | PASS                             |
| Coverage      | N/A - no coverage report emitted |

***

## Lessons Learned

1. Product-facing action verbs must be treated as capability claims and guarded by tests.
2. Metadata-only queue and campaign transitions need separate tracking language until executable payloads land.
3. Review coverage caught a parent toast copy path that component-level label tests did not catch.

***

## Future Considerations

Items for future sessions:

1. Add terminal queue execution through a protocol-owned executable task contract in Session 02.
2. Add Git queue execution and rollback guidance in Session 03.
3. Introduce real file mutation only after repo-relative validation, backup, conflict, and rollback checks are implemented.

# 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/phase20-session01-truthful-capability-baseline/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.
