# Domain-Based Refactor Execution (October 2025)

**Date:** 2025-10-08
**Branch Split:** `anchor/oct-06-2025` → 9 domain-based PRs
**Execution Agent:** Agent-1 (Splitter) + Build Validator
**Status:** Phase 1-3 Complete, Phase 4-6 In Progress

---

## Overview

This directory contains the complete execution artifacts from splitting the monolithic refactor branch (`anchor/oct-06-2025`, 108 files, 56 commits) into 9 domain-based stacked PRs using Graphite.

**Strategy:** Domain-based split following crate boundaries for minimal conflicts and parallel review opportunities.

**PRs Created:** #123 → #124 → #125 → #126 → #127 → #128 → #129 → #130 → #131

## Files in This Directory

### 1. `split-validation.log` (21 KB)
**Complete execution log** documenting all 3 phases:

- **Phase 1 (Split):** Branch creation, file routing decisions, commit creation
- **Phase 2 (Validation):** Build verification, test execution, dependency fixes
- **Phase 3 (PR Creation):** PR metadata, stack integrity, size compliance

**Includes:**
- All decisions made during execution
- Issues encountered and resolutions
- Quality metrics and compliance checks
- Lessons learned and recommendations

**Use this for:** Historical record, troubleshooting, future refactor planning

---

### 2. `pr-stack-summary.md` (11 KB)
**Executive summary** of the entire execution:

- Quick reference with all PR links
- Stack visualization diagram
- Timeline and execution metrics
- Review checklist template
- Merge protocol and automation guide
- Success criteria tracking

**Use this for:** Quick reference, stakeholder updates, review coordination

---

### 3. `pr-stack-tracker.md` (7.4 KB)
**Live progress tracker** for Phases 4-6:

- Per-PR status with checkboxes
- Review assignments (empty, ready to fill)
- Phase progress bars
- Blocking relationships and dependencies
- Daily standup template

**Use this for:** Active tracking during review/merge phases, standup updates

---

### 4. `merge-stack.sh` (7.2 KB, executable)
**Automated merge orchestration script:**

- Checks prerequisites (gh CLI, Graphite)
- Validates CI status and approvals
- Sequential merge with `gt sync` after each PR
- Special handling for PR #127 (dual dependency)
- Dry-run mode for testing
- Resume capability for interrupted runs

**Usage:**
```bash
# Test the merge flow
./merge-stack.sh --dry-run

# Execute merges
./merge-stack.sh

# Resume from specific PR
./merge-stack.sh --start-from 127
```

## Execution Summary

### Phase 1: Split ✅
- **Duration:** ~2 hours
- **Method:** File-based routing (automated via script + manual commits)
- **Output:** 9 branches with standardized commits `[NN/09]`
- **Issues:** 1 branch had incorrect files (fixed via reset + re-checkout)

### Phase 2: Validation ✅
- **Duration:** ~5 minutes
- **Method:** Full-stack validation at tip (branch 09)
- **Result:** `cargo check --workspace` PASS, E2E test PASS
- **Fixes:** Added missing `config` dependency (propagated to all branches)

### Phase 3: PR Creation ✅
- **Duration:** ~3 minutes
- **Method:** `gh pr create` with generated descriptions
- **Output:** 9 PRs with complete metadata, correct stack dependencies
- **Compliance:** All PRs within size guardrails

### Phase 4: Reviews 🟡
- **Status:** Awaiting reviewer assignment
- **Timeline:** 10-12 days estimated (with parallelization)
- **Parallel:** PRs #125 and #126 can be reviewed concurrently

### Phase 5: Merge ⏳
- **Status:** Pending review completion
- **Automation:** `merge-stack.sh` script ready
- **Critical:** PR #127 requires both #125 + #126 merged first

### Phase 6: Cleanup ⏳
- **Status:** Pending final merge
- **Tasks:** Verification, documentation updates, artifact archival

## Key Metrics

| Metric | Value |
|--------|-------|
| Total PRs | 9 |
| Total Files | 126 (with overlap) |
| LOC Added | ~9,074 |
| LOC Removed | ~2,523 |
| Net LOC | +6,551 |
| Execution Time | ~2.1 hours (automated) |
| Est. Review Time | 10-12 days |

---

## Critical Reminders

⚠️ **PR #127 Dependency:** Requires BOTH #125 (vad) AND #126 (stt) merged before it can merge

🔄 **Restack After Each Merge:** Run `gt sync` after merging each PR to update downstream branches

⚡ **Parallel Review:** PRs #125 and #126 can be reviewed simultaneously to save time

---

## Lessons Learned

### What Worked Well
1. Full-stack validation strategy (fast, accurate, no false positives)
2. Graphite restack (automatic propagation of fixes)
3. File-based routing (clean domain boundaries)
4. Force-with-lease push (safe remote updates)

### What Could Improve
1. Pre-commit dependency verification
2. Script automation for commit creation
3. Test output quieting (reduce ONNX logs)

### Recommendations for Future
1. Run `cargo check` on each branch before initial push
2. Add dependency closure verification to split script
3. Use `RUST_LOG=warn` for quieter validation runs

## Retrospective Items

**To Discuss:**
- Automation script effectiveness
- Review timeline accuracy
- Size guardrail appropriateness
- Parallel review adoption

**To Update:**
- `graphite_split_by_file.sh` - add commit creation
- CI workflow - add PR size warnings
- Split strategy docs - incorporate learnings
