GITEA-SETUP.md has listed this under "Still to build" since 2026-09-04: `propose-work`, superseding `push-work` -- push the branch AND open the PR with `Closes #N` AND set the label, in one step. Today `push-work` does the first third; the other two thirds being manual is how they get skipped. PROTOCOL.md 145-149 requires all three: * branch `auto/<agent>/<issue#>-<topic>`, one item per branch * open the PR with `Closes #<issue>` in the body * label the issue `state/needs-human` and say, in one line, what to look at Until now those were three things to remember, and PR #20 had to add a warning to `port-loop.md` about the two that get forgotten. A rule enforced by memory decays; this makes the sequence structural. WHAT IT DOES NOT DO is reimplement push-work's refusals -- it CALLS push-work, so `main`, shared branches and force-push stay refused in exactly one place. Duplicating them would let the copies drift, and the copy that drifts is the one that matters. Three design choices worth stating: * THE ISSUE NUMBER IS DERIVED FROM THE BRANCH NAME, which PROTOCOL already specifies as `auto/<agent>/<issue#>-<topic>`. So a PR cannot cite a different issue than the branch was cut for -- a mismatch no reviewer would catch. `-i` overrides. * `-m` IS MANDATORY. PROTOCOL says an issue in `state/needs-human` must say what to look at and what pass and fail look like, "so a person can judge it in under a minute". Refusing without that line is cheaper than letting the label carry an empty promise and costing a human a round trip. * IT MOVES THE LABEL RATHER THAN ADDING IT -- other `state/*` labels are removed. Leaving `state/in-progress` attached makes the board lie about what is waiting on a person. The token is read from a file and handed to curl through a `--config` document on stdin: never an argument, never exported. Arguments are world-readable in /proc and this token can push. Verified that the mechanism actually delivers the header rather than silently dropping it -- with a bogus token the API answers "invalid username, password or token", while the same URL with no header returns the list anonymously, so the header is demonstrably being read. Also verified: issue derived from the branch (#42 from `auto/decoder/42-widget-census`), refusal without `-m`, refusal when the branch carries no number, `--dry-run` sends nothing, and repo/API derivation from the remote. `--dry-run` deliberately does NOT require a credential -- it exists so an agent can check the command it is about to run, and demanding a token it never sends would make the check unavailable exactly where it is cheapest. Identical in both agents' bin/ on purpose: the agent name comes from the branch, so there is nothing per-agent to diverge. UNVERIFIED, and stated as such: no end-to-end run. That needs a real token and a real issue, which this desktop does not have -- it is the second machine, and the agent credentials live on the agent box. Everything above the network call is exercised; the POSTs are not. Refs #11 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Sylpheed
A clean-room reverse engineering and port project for Project Sylpheed: Arc of Deception (Xbox 360, 2007).
Three things live here, in one repository so that a change spanning them lands as one commit:
| The decoders | crates/sylpheed-formats — the disc's formats, read and verified disc-wide |
| The port | port/ — a Godot 4 project, plus crates/sylpheed-export which converts a disc into the open asset tree it reads |
| The corpus | docs/re/ — what has been reverse engineered, with its evidence, its retractions and its dead ends |
You need your own copy of the game. No game content is in this repository and none ever will be. The exporter reads the disc you supply.
The oracle is the real game
sylpheed-cliand the Explorer are tools for verifying our decoding. They are hypotheses under test and they have been wrong. When something must be checked against the truth, the truth is the game running in Xenia Canary, captured — not any renderer of ours.
This is stated first because getting it backwards is the most expensive mistake this project has made.
Layout
crates/
sylpheed-formats/ the decoders. Disc-wide verified; the corpus is its spec
sylpheed-cli/ headless tools -- render a screen, dump a table, probe audio
sylpheed-viewer/ the Explorer: a human's window onto the disc. STATIC data only
sylpheed-export/ disc -> the open, moddable asset tree
port/ the Godot 4 project. Reads open formats ONLY
authored/ decisions that are NOT on the disc, each with its reason

mods/ drop-in overrides. Yours
docs/
re/ the corpus: findings, refutations, method traps
game/ how the game is navigated -- menus, modals, flight
port/ the port's mission, its handoff contract, modding rules
-- and RUNNING.md, which is how you actually start it
agents/ how the agent team works together
tools/ capture harnesses, probes, the share tool
exchange/ transient inter-agent files. NOT in git

Xenia Canary is a separate repository: it is a fork tracking upstream, and it carries our instrumentation.
