Summary

Codex feedback on the prebuild pattern (operator forwarded 2026-05-17) identified 3 gaps in the openclaw-style Spec Kit pattern when applied to pdurlej/platform:

  1. Missing Safety / production boundary section — prebuilds for platform must be explicit that they don't authorize runtime mutation, since this repo's prebuilds describe production infrastructure
  2. Missing "Codex execution prompt" / "Next implementer instructions" — without these, codex has to reconstruct intent from PR body + Spec Kit + commit history every time, eating session quota
  3. Bug prebuild has different shape than feature prebuild — operator will add bug prebuilds going forward; this PR establishes the documentation format that will accommodate both

What

Retrofits 3 already-open prebuilds with companion execution prompts at:

  • prompts/codex-agent-access-plane.md (companion to PR #323 / issue #76)
  • prompts/codex-agent-wake-bus.md (companion to PR #324 / issue #134)
  • prompts/codex-openclaw-scheduler-observability.md (companion to PR #325 / issue #135)

Each prompt structured per codex's preferred shape:

  • Safety / production boundary — explicit "this PR does NOT authorize" list (runtime mutation, production restart, credential changes, sacred path modification, cleanup operations)
  • Pre-flight — identity check + spec reading order
  • Per-slice instructions — branch name / tier per ADR-0007 / tasks per spec's 03-tasks.md / acceptance criteria
  • Stop conditions — 3-strikes, sacred path, hard gate (G4-G7), quota cliff, ADR-0018 "accept workaround" temptation guard
  • Reporting format pointer
  • Cousin coordination rules
  • References — companion Spec Kit + parent issue + ADRs

Also adds prompts/README.md documenting:

  • Execution prompts (codex-<slug>.md) vs one-shot dispatches (codex-<task>-<date>.md) — format conventions
  • When to write which
  • How to read a prompt cold (cross-ref to state/ANY-COUSIN-WAKEUP.md)

Why this PR, not 3 separate amendments

Each existing prebuild PR (#323/#324/#325) is in draft state. Amending them in-place would require force-push on protected branches OR each amendment as a separate PR. One retrofit PR is operator-friendly (single review), preserves the draft state of the original prebuilds, and creates a precedent for the prompts/ directory pattern.

Tier

Trivial per ADR-0007 (docs-only, no code / schema / runtime / sacred-path mutation).

Going forward

Future prebuilds (operator mentioned analogous pattern from pdurlej/iskra-openclaw#281 for ongoing functionality + bug work) will include the execution prompt at creation time, NOT as retrofit. This PR establishes the format.

Codex feedback on the prebuild pattern (operator forwarded 2026-05-17):
- Each prebuild needs explicit Safety / production boundary section
- Each prebuild needs "Codex execution prompt" / "Next implementer
  instructions" so codex has ready tor without reconstructing intent
- Bug prebuild has different shape than feature prebuild (reproduction +
  hypothesis ranking + minimal fix surface)

This PR retrofits the three open prebuilds (#323 Agent Access Plane,
#324 Agent Wake Bus, #325 OpenClaw Scheduler Observability) with
companion execution prompts at:

- prompts/codex-agent-access-plane.md
- prompts/codex-agent-wake-bus.md
- prompts/codex-openclaw-scheduler-observability.md

Each prompt has:
- Safety / production boundary statement (this PR prepares
  implementation only; does NOT authorize runtime mutation, production
  restart, credential changes, or cleanup)
- Pre-flight identity check + spec reading order
- Per-slice instructions (branch / tier per ADR-0007 / tasks /
  acceptance criteria)
- Stop conditions (3-strikes, sacred path, hard gate, quota cliff,
  "accept workaround" temptation)
- Reporting format pointer
- Cousin coordination rules
- References to companion Spec Kit + parent issue + ADRs

Also adds prompts/README.md documenting format conventions for
execution prompts vs one-shot dispatches.

Tier: Trivial per ADR-0007 (docs-only, no code/schema/runtime mutation).

Wave 0 Fork B triage — close/rewrite

Role: executor
Actor: codex
Decision: close this PR without merge.

Reasoning:

  • This prompt-only PR depends on #323/#324/#325, which are stale draft prebuilds and are being closed for rewrite.
  • Merging standalone prompts that point at unmerged draft PR content would make main reference non-canonical execution surfaces.
  • The prompt idea is still useful, but it should be regenerated inside the replacement PRs after the new smaller slices exist.

Recommended rewrite path:

  • Add execution prompts alongside the replacement PRs for #76, #134, and #135, not as a standalone bridge to closed drafts.

Spec sources read: docs/forgejo-agent-operations.md, state/roadmap/current-platform-roadmap.md, decisions/0021-ddd-bounded-contexts-for-platform-monorepo.md, decisions/0022-module-source-and-release-boundaries.md.
