From ff9231199478d6359fa723e4c61a03d74414831c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Saad Zoubir Date: Tue, 24 Mar 2026 10:56:14 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] feat: add retrospective intelligence to create-story workflow Load all retrospective files during story creation to carry forward lessons learned, open action items, architecture corrections, and deferred code review items. Fulfills Epic 2 retro action item A1. Also includes Epic 2 retrospective and sprint status updates.

The `due_date` vs `deadline` gotcha was caught once in Story 2.1 and proactively avoided in all 3 subsequent stories. + +2. **Strong foundations compound.** The `forUser()` scope built in Epic 1 (Story 1.5) made Worker scoping in Story 2.3 effortless — zero debug issues, zero backend query changes needed. The cleanest story in the epic. + +3. **Incremental extension pattern worked perfectly.** All 4 stories cleanly extended the same `DashboardController` and `Cache::remember()` block. Story 2.1 built the foundation, 2.2 added alerts, 2.3 tweaked for Workers, 2.4 added the feed — no story broke a previous one. + +4. **100% completion with zero blockers.** 4 stories in ~3 days, all acceptance criteria met, all tests passing, all code linted.

These have been accumulating since Epic 0 and have now been flagged for THREE retrospectives. The number is growing, not shrinking. + +2. **Architecture doc drift.** `deadline` vs `due_date` column name mismatch, non-existent `Declaration::workspace()` scope, undocumented `mise_en_demeure` status — flagged in 4/4 stories. Story specs compensated with "CRITICAL" notes, but source docs remain stale. + +3. **Story 2.4 environment friction.** Windows Docker stdin hang, Vite manifest missing in tests, duplicate function name conflict — all infrastructure issues, not code logic. Cross-platform (Windows vs Linux) friction is an ongoing environmental challenge. + +4. **`withoutVite()` global workaround.** Added to Pest.php to fix Vite manifest issue — works but could mask real Vite build problems in future tests. Documented as known debt. + +5. **2 of 5 Epic 1 action items still unresolved.** A4 (pre-existing test failures) and A5 (withPivot documentation) were not addressed during Epic 2. + +--- + +## Key Insights & Lessons Learned + +1. **Context management is the team's superpower.** Investing in rich story context (Previous Story Intelligence, architecture constraints, code patterns) pays off exponentially across an epic. Small errors are expected — the system self-corrects when context is strong. + +2. **Load retrospective files as context during story creation.** Saad's process fix: with Opus 4.6's 1M token window, loading a retro file during story creation is essentially free and organically carries forward lessons learned, action items, and architecture corrections into every new story spec. + +3. **Pre-existing test failures must be resolved within the same epic.** No more carrying debt across retros. Three-retro flags indicate a systemic accountability gap. + +4. **Strong foundations compound — invest early.** The `forUser()` scope, `Cache::remember()` pattern, and role-based shared props from Epics 0-1 made Epic 2 dramatically smoother. Each epic should leave foundations for the next. + +5. **Cross-platform friction is environmental, not architectural.** Windows vs Linux differences cause occasional debugging overhead.
