Intent

One uniform capability for capturing a session's valuable output — insights → brain, action items → Gitea tickets, optional summary → ai-sessions — callable identically from every environment Mathias works in: claude.ai (Chat/Cowork/Code/Design), Claude Code CLI (flamingo/koala/iguana), Crush, Pi, LLM Council (Open WebUI), Agentsquad executor/reviewer, or any future stack.

The goal is a single "command" with the same core logic everywhere and acceptable per-harness quirks only in how the args are assembled, never in what persistence does.

Architecture (decided 2026-06-22)

REST + OAuth2 is the uniform spine. SKILL is the trigger/harvest veneer. MCP is optional sugar. Rationale: REST over authed HTTP is reachable from literally every environment (superset of MCP coverage), stateless, robust, and reuses the existing Authentik/JWT auth. MCP coverage is uneven (great on claude.ai/Crush/Open WebUI, iffy headless) and flakier. So MCP is a convenience wrapper, never the only door.

Layering follows Clean Architecture / idiomatic Go / PragProg-DRY:

  • Use-case (the logic, written once): CaptureService.Capture(ctx, CaptureInput) (CaptureReceipt, error) in a new ingestion/internal/capture/ package. Depends only on ports. Owns: validation, the brain write/supersede + read-after-write discipline, ticket routing, summary write, partial-failure receipt assembly.
  • Ports (interfaces):
    • BrainStore — Write, Update, Get (the #45 verbs).
    • IssueTracker — CreateIssue, CloseIssue, CommentIssue.
    • SummaryWriter — WriteFile(repo, path, content).
  • Adapters (in): POST /capture (REST, primary) and later an MCP capture tool — both ~10-line forwarders to the same use-case.
  • Entities: Insight, Ticket, Summary, CaptureContext — plain structs.

Two ground-truth findings that scope this honestly

Read of ingestion/internal/api/handler.go + ingestion/internal/mcp/:

  1. The brain server has NO gitea client today. It does brain-local file ops only (WriteNote, pipeline, search) and knows nothing about Gitea. The IssueTracker port is a new outbound dependency the brain server must gain — not a wrap of existing code. Decide deliberately: brain server reaches out to Gitea directly (new HTTP client + token), OR capture lives in a small new service that composes brain + gitea. (Filing leans: add the client to the brain server, injected, behind the IssueTracker interface so it's swappable/testable.)
  2. brain_update/brain_get live in the MCP layer, not the REST/api layer. Only /write is exposed over REST today (WriteNote is a clean free function; update/get are MCP-only). The capture use-case needs update/get reachable from REST too. The right move is to extract the brain write/update/get logic into the shared BrainStore implementation that both the MCP handlers and the new REST/capture adapter call — i.e. a small refactor lifting #45's logic out of mcp/ into a layer both adapters share. This is the Clean-Arch payoff but it is real work, not a wrapper.

POST /capture contract

Auth: Bearer OAuth2 JWT (reuse existing middleware).

{
  "context": {
    "harness":     "claudeai-chat|claude-code|crush|pi|llm-council|agentsquad|...",
    "session_ref": "<chat uuid | transcript path | run id>",   // optional
    "fidelity":    "live-capture|transcript-parse|agent-runlog",
    "actor":       "mathias|<agent-id>"
  },
  "insights": [
    { "text": "...", "wing": "hyperguild", "hall": "decisions",
      "supersede_slug": "optional-prior-slug" }  // present ⇒ brain_update, absent ⇒ brain_write
  ],
  "tickets": [
    { "repo": "hyperguild", "action": "create|close|comment",
      "number": 47, "title": "...", "body": "..." }
  ],
  "summary": { "title": "...", "body": "...", "repos_touched": ["hyperguild"] },  // optional
  "dry_run": false
}

Behaviour (use-case, server-side, once):

  1. Validate the whole request before any write (fail-closed; bad wing/hall/repo → 400, nothing written).
  2. Insights → Update if supersede_slug else Write; capture {id, content_hash}. The #45 read-after-write + batch staleness discipline live HERE so no client ever has to know the rule (the DRY win).
  3. Tickets → create/close/comment via IssueTracker; owner always mathias.
  4. Summary (if present) → write to ai-sessions at summaries/<harness>/<YYYY-MM>/<date>-<slug>-<ref8>.md, stamping fidelity in frontmatter. Collision rule generalizes: richer fidelity supersedes thinner for the same session_ref (transcript-parse > live-capture).
  5. Receipt → structured, partial-aware (see below).

Failure semantics: best-effort + partial receipt (decided). If a ticket files but a brain write fails, do NOT roll back — return exactly what landed. The server owns partial-failure handling once; no client gets rollback logic.

{
  "insights": [ {"id":"...","path":"...","content_hash":"...","superseded":false,"ok":true} ],
  "tickets":  [ {"repo":"...","number":47,"action":"create","url":"...","ok":true} ],
  "summary":  {"path":"...","ok":true},
  "errors":   [ {"item":"insight[1]","error":"..."} ]   // per-item; partial success explicit
}

HTTP: 200 if all ok, 207-style body when partial (all-failed → 4xx/5xx as appropriate). dry_run: true validates + returns the would-be receipt, writes nothing (mirror existing /ingest dry-run).

Acceptance criteria (REST + use-case phase — this issue)

  • ingestion/internal/capture/ package with CaptureService + ports (BrainStore, IssueTracker, SummaryWriter) + entities
  • Brain write/update/get logic extracted into a shared BrainStore impl callable from BOTH the MCP handlers and capture (refactor #45's logic out of mcp/-only)
  • Gitea IssueTracker client added to the brain server, injected behind the interface, token via env (no secret in argv/logs — see AGENTS.md secret-handling)
  • POST /capture adapter: JWT-authed, decode → use-case → encode, thin
  • Validate-before-write (no partial write on a malformed request)
  • Best-effort execution + partial receipt with per-item ok/error
  • fidelity stamped into summary frontmatter; summaries/<harness>/... path
  • dry_run path writes nothing, returns would-be receipt
  • Tests: validation-rejects-bad-request, write+supersede insight, create/close/comment ticket, summary write, partial-failure receipt (one item fails others land), dry-run
  • task check green; routes registered; secret-handling respected

Follow-ups (separate issues, after this ships)

  • MCP capture tool — thin forwarder to CaptureService, for MCP-native clients that prefer it.
  • SKILL veneer(s) — the close-session SKILL (already at skills/close-session/SKILL.md) becomes the claude.ai trigger/harvest layer that POSTs /capture; thin equivalents (or direct programmed calls) for Crush/Pi.
  • OAuth2 token provisioning per environment — CLI client-credential, claude.ai OAuth session, headless service token. Bounded per-harness quirk.
  • Harvest adapters — transcript-parse (reuse ai-sessions extractors) vs chat-memory-reconstruct vs agent-runlog; each assembles /capture args at its own fidelity.

  • #47 — vector staleness (the discipline capture encodes server-side so clients don't carry it)

Grounded against architecture + regulatory model — design must change before build

Consulted the brain and Gitea architecture record. Findings:

The canonical invariants now exist on main. The sovereign-AI architecture doc set (I1–I5) was sitting un-merged on a branch since 2026-06-05; canonized via infra PR #149. Current-state refresh tracked as infra #150.

This issue's "centralized capture service" framing is in tension with a decided invariant. Brain wiki/homelab/decisions/no-centralized-cross-harness-observer-2026-06-17 explicitly rejected a standing cross-harness observer ("high-degree node — exactly the concentration Zero Trust / sovereign-containment is suspicious of") and endorsed the retro-skill specifically as distributed, per-harness, no shared plumbing. A central /capture service with cross-harness brain+gitea write reach is closer to the rejected shape than the endorsed one. Per I2 (deliberate acceptance) it fails the admissibility test as written — it opens an undocumented acceptance.

Resolution (now in the spec): capture is a shared use-case/library invoked per-harness against the caller's own credentials (distributed consolidation, admissible without a ledger entry). A central authenticated relay is a fallback only for harnesses that can't run the library (Crush/Pi/headless), holds no standing visibility, retains nothing beyond the audit log — and if deployed, must be entered in infra/docs/security-baseline.md before it ships.

New acceptance gates this issue did not have:

  • I1 sovereignty gate — refuse capture of confidential-classified sessions through us-nexus (cloud) harnesses. Server-derived harness origin, not caller-asserted.
  • I5 auditability — every capture emits a request-level audit record (alloy/loki). A privileged write path that can't be audited must not run.
  • I3 — if deployed as a service, manifest under k3s/apps/** (no untracked runtime).

Spec committed: specs/capture-bdd-spec.md — use-case form + Gherkin scenarios (happy path, sovereignty refusal, supersession/staleness from #45/#47, fail-closed validation, partial-failure receipt, dry-run, fidelity supersession) + the invariant-obligations table.

Four open questions block the build (in the spec §4). The highest-risk: how is classification set and trusted? The whole I1 gate is only as strong as the classification it reads — a harness self-declaring "internal" to bypass it is an attack surface. Resolve before dispatch.

No BDD/use-case specs existed anywhere before this — this is the first. Worth noting as a process gap for privileged paths generally.

This issue should NOT be dispatched until §4 open questions are resolved and the distributed-vs-relay decision + (if relay) the ledger entry are settled.

§4 open questions resolved — decisions binding, scope updated

Spec §4 resolved (commit b7a2cc5, specs/capture-bdd-spec.md):

  1. Classification trust → model (C): caller declares, server independently derives the target wing/repo's tag, stricter wins, mismatch logged as a security event. Caller can raise sensitivity, never lower below the target floor.
  2. Harness origin → server-derived from the authenticated principal. context.harness is descriptive-only, never a gate input (a control keyed on an attacker-suppliable value is not a control).
  3. Central relay → ships in v1 (claude.ai/Crush/Pi/LLM Council can't run the library in-process — those are the primary surfaces). The I2 security-baseline.md ledger entry is v1 work, not a follow-up.
  4. Audit-sink-down → degrade-and-warn + durable local buffer + reconcile-on-recovery. Proceed during a loki outage, buffer the audit locally, ntfy alert, replay on recovery. Floor: refuse only if nothing (central or local) can record the audit.

Scope changes these decisions force on #49

New v1 prerequisites (were not in the original AC):

  • Classification taxonomy (public / internal / confidential or similar) + a per-wing / per-repo classification tag the server can read. The I1 gate is not load-bearing until this exists. This is its own chunk of work — likely a sub-issue.
  • Server-side principal → harness-origin → trust-zone mapping (OAuth2 identity to sovereign/us-nexus). Load-bearing for I1.
  • I2 security-baseline ledger entry for the central relay, written before the relay ships.
  • Durable local audit buffer + loki reconciliation path (Q4) — not just "log to loki."
  • Relay is in scope for v1, not deferred.

Net: #49 is bigger than the original framing. Recommend splitting into sub-issues: (a) classification taxonomy + tagging, (b) the CaptureService use-case + ports + BrainStore extraction from #45's mcp-only logic, (c) REST/OAuth2 adapter + server-derived origin, (d) audit buffer + reconcile, (e) the I2 ledger entry + relay. (b) depends on (a) for the gate; (c)/(e) depend on (b).

Still not dispatch-ready — but now it's blocked on build sequencing/sub-issue breakdown rather than open design questions. The design is settled and BDD-specced.

Q4 revised — classification-aware audit degradation

Reconsidered Q4 (was: global degrade-and-warn + buffer). Now inherits from the Q1 classification spine:

  • Confidential + audit sink down → hard-refuse (no buffer — removes the "can a write tamper with its own pending audit record?" question for confidential data; simplicity of refuse is the assurance asset).
  • Internal/public + audit sink down → degrade-and-warn + durable local buffer + ntfy + reconcile-on-recovery.
  • Floor (all tiers): refuse if nothing can record the audit.

Spec commit 2a595b5. This simplifies the build relative to the prior Q4: the buffer + reconcile machinery only needs to handle internal/public tier, and the confidential path is a plain refuse. It also collapses Q4 into the same classification logic as I1, so there's one sensitivity model, not a separate availability policy.

Net effect on the AC delta from the previous comment: the "durable local audit buffer + reconciliation" item is now scoped to internal/public tier only — confidential needs no buffer path. Everything else from that comment stands.

Design is fully settled and BDD-specced. Remaining block is sub-issue breakdown for build sequencing, not design.

Sub-issue breakdown (2026-06-22) — #49 is now a tracking epic

Split into six sub-issues. Dependency graph (two roots converging):

#50 (49a) classification taxonomy + tags  ─┐
                                            ├─→ #53 (49d) REST adapter + I1 gate ─→ #54 (49e) audit path ─→ #55 (49f) relay + I2 ledger
#51 (49b) CaptureService + BrainStore ──────┤        ↑
              └─→ #52 (49c) Gitea tracker ──┘────────┘
# Sub Scope Depends on
#50 49a Classification taxonomy + per-wing/repo tags (I1 prerequisite) — (start now)
#51 49b CaptureService use-case + BrainStore extraction + ports/entities — (start now, fake ports)
#52 49c Gitea IssueTracker client (new outbound dep) #51
#53 49d POST /capture REST + OAuth2 + I1 gate (server-derived origin) #50, #51, #52
#54 49e I5 audit path + classification-aware degradation #50, #53
#55 49f Central relay + I2 ledger entry (non-library harnesses) #53, #54

Critical path: #50/#51 (parallel) → #52 → #53 → #54 → #55.

Two milestones worth naming:

  • After #54: capture works end-to-end and is I5-compliant for direct-REST harnesses (Claude Code CLI, Agentsquad). This is "capture works" for the contexts that can run against REST directly.
  • After #55: uniform across ALL harnesses incl. claude.ai/Crush/Pi/LLM Council. #55 carries the heaviest security weight (the I2 concentration acceptance) — its ledger entry must merge before relay code ships.

Start points: #50 and #51 have no dependencies and can begin in parallel. #51 is the biggest chunk (the BrainStore extraction + use-case). Either is a clean first dispatch to koala-Claude.

Design is fully settled (spec specs/capture-bdd-spec.md, §4 decisions binding). This epic now tracks build sequencing only.

## Sub-issue breakdown (2026-06-22) — #49 is now a tracking epic Split into six sub-issues. Dependency graph (two roots converging): ``` #50 (49a) classification taxonomy + tags ─┐ ├─→ #53 (49d) REST adapter + I1 gate ─→ #54 (49e) audit path ─→ #55 (49f) relay + I2 ledger #51 (49b) CaptureService + BrainStore ──────┤ ↑ └─→ #52 (49c) Gitea tracker ──┘────────┘ ``` | # | Sub | Scope | Depends on | |---|-----|-------|-----------| | **#50** | 49a | Classification taxonomy + per-wing/repo tags (I1 prerequisite) | — (start now) | | **#51** | 49b | `CaptureService` use-case + `BrainStore` extraction + ports/entities | — (start now, fake ports) | | **#52** | 49c | Gitea `IssueTracker` client (new outbound dep) | #51 | | **#53** | 49d | `POST /capture` REST + OAuth2 + I1 gate (server-derived origin) | #50, #51, #52 | | **#54** | 49e | I5 audit path + classification-aware degradation | #50, #53 | | **#55** | 49f | Central relay + I2 ledger entry (non-library harnesses) | #53, #54 | **Critical path:** #50/#51 (parallel) → #52 → #53 → #54 → #55. **Two milestones worth naming:** - **After #54:** capture works end-to-end and is I5-compliant for direct-REST harnesses (Claude Code CLI, Agentsquad).

Epic complete — capture is uniform across all harnesses

All six sub-issues shipped and merged; tagged v0.11.0.

Sub Issue PR What
49a #50 #56 classification taxonomy + per-wing/repo tags (fail-safe to confidential)
49b #51 #57 CaptureService use-case + ports + BrainStore extraction (one impl with MCP)
49c #52 #58 Gitea IssueTracker (owner forced mathias; token never logged)
49d #53 #59 POST /capture REST + OAuth2 + I1 sovereignty gate (server-derived origin)
49e #54 #60 I5 audit path + classification-aware degradation (loki + durable buffer + reconcile)
49f #55 #61 + infra #151/#152 MCP capture relay tool + I2 ledger + I3 deploy

Architecture as decided: REST + OAuth2 is the uniform spine; the use-case logic is written once (CaptureService) and shared by the REST adapter and the MCP relay tool — distributed-library form for in-process harnesses (CLI/Agentsquad), the thin MCP relay for non-library ones (claude.ai/Crush/Pi/LLM Council) via the existing /mcp connector.

Invariants honoured: I1 (server-derived origin, confidential-through-us-nexus refused) · I2 (relay concentration accepted in infra/docs/security-baseline.md, merged before relay code) · I3 (env/secret via GitOps, Flux-reconciled) · I5 (request-level audit, classification-aware: confidential fails closed, internal/public degrades + reconciles).

Brain (reusable learnings from the build):

  • decisions/capture-classification-taxonomy
  • decisions/gate-on-server-derived-signals-fail-safe
  • decisions/two-phase-reserve-record-audit-gate
  • failures/mcp-bearer-middleware-discards-principal

Follow-ups not in this epic (per #49's own list): SKILL veneer over the close-session flow; per-harness token provisioning for Crush/Pi/LLM Council (claude.ai done via the existing connector); harvest adapters (transcript-parse vs chat-reconstruct). File as new issues when picked up.

Closing the epic.

As-built report committed

specs/capture-implementation-report.md (commit 06e21c0) — the durable record of what shipped, companion to specs/capture-bdd-spec.md:

  • Outcome + architecture (as-built diagram: both doors → one CaptureService → 5 ports)
  • Sub-issue → PR map (#50–#55 / #56–#61 + infra #151/#152)
  • I1–I5 compliance table
  • Operational env reference (BRAIN_GITEA_TOKEN, BRAIN_LOKI_URL, BRAIN_CAPTURE_SOVEREIGN_PRINCIPALS, …)
  • Test coverage (67 test funcs → Gherkin mapping)
  • Deferred follow-ups + brain learning links

Onboarding + audit trail is now self-contained in the repo.

Post-ship fixes from the first claude.ai dogfood (#66 + #67) — both merged

The 2026-06-23 live dogfood surfaced two operability gaps; both fixed.

# Fix PR
#67 classification.yaml written at brain root — homelab wings/repos tagged internal (was: everything but hyperguild/homelab fail-safed to confidential → claude.ai capture refused) brain #12 ✅
#66 ai-sessions SummaryWriter wired (was: nil → "no summary writer configured") #68 ✅

#67: tagged internal — wings hyperguild/homelab; repos brain, ai-sessions, infra, hyperguild, homelab, tapir, agentsquad, jepa-fx-risk, swedsl. client-* and anything untagged stay confidential (fail-safe intact). Loaded at startup → picked up on the next pod roll.

#66: reused the existing BRAIN_GITEA_TOKEN (no new secret, no manifest change). A live token-scope probe on mathias/ai-sessions confirmed push:true (contents:write) and caught a real bug: gitea's contents API creates via POST, updates via PUT — WriteFile always PUT'd → 422 on new files. Fixed (POST create / PUT-with-sha update); the httptest mock had the same wrong assumption.

Validated under fire (worth noting): the partial-failure receipt did exactly its job — insights + ticket landed, summary failed honestly with a per-item error naming the component, no rollback. The best-effort design held.

Remaining: Flux rolls the pod (loads classification.yaml + summary writer) → re-dogfood from claude.ai with a summary block → expect all ok=true, effective_classification: internal. Both STOP points were resolved (map approved; token verified by probe, not assumed).

Brain learning: wiki/hyperguild/failures/mcp-bearer-middleware-discards-principal (from #55) + the dogfood finding note already filed.

Verified live (2026-06-24)

ingestion re-rolled (the 15:24Z pod predated the brain-sync of classification.yaml). Dry-run capture probe touching ai-sessions now returns effective_classification: internal (was confidential pre-roll). I1 gate no longer refuses claude.ai captures touching homelab repos; SummaryWriter wired + token contents:write confirmed. #66 + #67 done and confirmed in prod.
