# Implementation Summary

**Session ID**: `phase20-session10-templates-and-channel-intake` **Package**: cross-cutting (`Package: null`) **Completed**: 2026-06-29 **Duration**: 3-4 hours planned session scope

***

## Overview

Session 10 completed the template and channel intake slice for Phase 20. Source-owned templates can now carry bounded local executable defaults through preview and queue creation, while inbound webhook and remote channel content remains proposal-first and cannot self-claim executable approval. Local operators can convert stored channel commands into review or executable queue tasks through server-owned mutations, and the web surface now separates record, review task, executable local task, and execute states with duplicate-trigger guards.

## Technical Decisions

1. **Reuse the shared queue executable contract**: Template defaults and channel conversions reuse `TaskQueueExecutablePayload` instead of adding a parallel executable shape.
2. **Separate remote intake from local approval**: Webhook and remote channel bodies cannot claim approval or executable status; local conversion is a separate server mutation against stored records.
3. **Keep mutation ownership in managers**: Channel conversion, approval metadata, replay idempotency, revisions, and broadcasts stay in server managers rather than UI-only state.
4. **Use truthful product verbs**: Web labels distinguish record, review task, executable local task, and execute so unavailable or proposal-only paths do not overclaim behavior.

## Lessons Learned

1. Same-target local conversion idempotency must preserve the existing command revision and approval timestamp, not only avoid duplicate queue entries.
2. UI view models need separate review and executable queue ids so one conversion target does not make another target look completed.
3. Template source attribution has to include the template source ref before planning sources, and tests should assert that intended ordering.

***

## Future Considerations

Items for future sessions:

1. Session 11 should audit release evidence and event privacy for the now-added template and channel executable paths.
2. Hosted or signed channel trust should remain deferred until a future phase adds identity, signature, and authorization requirements.
3. Additional executor families should follow the same parser-owned contract, manager-owned mutation, product-label, and e2e evidence bar.

## 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-session10-templates-and-channel-intake/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.
