docs(gig): structured archive for finished OPAL 2026 tasks · 52a05f96
The /pre-compact ritual archives completed board tasks somewhere durable before clearing them, so the learnings survive the task disappearing. armada/tasks/ completed-archive.md already does this — but its header scopes it explicitly to L'Armada, the media/marketing toolbox. Gig prep is a different thread, and mixing two documentary trails in one file makes both worse to mine later. Same discipline, separate file. Seven finished tasks captured in the established description/done/learnings/deps shape: #15 runbook, #21 mute-bomb, #32 recorder, #19 disk archive, #9 launcher, #27 highlight jitter, #5 HUD version control. The learnings are the point, not the inventory. The ones worth re-reading: - #21: a fix that lives only in a running process is not a fix. The gF rewrite was correct and live-validated for a full day while still being one SuperCollider reboot away from silently rearming. "Live-confirmed" and "durable" are different states and the gap between them is where this class of bug hides. The deeper design lesson: make rest position == no effect. The bug was never really the missing djfbus, it was that the hardware's DEFAULT state sent an EXTREME value. - #9: order beats retry. The MIDI dance was a race symptom; gating on observable readiness (three independent checks, not a sleep) removed the race rather than automating the workaround. And idempotence is the property you want from anything you might run while panicking. - #15: a frozen Pulsar does not stop the audio — patterns live in ghci, not the renderer — which inverts the instinct to panic-kill the editor. - #19: du-deleted (436GB) vs df-freed (160GB) disagreed sharply; btrfs zstd + reflink sharing explains it, df is authoritative, don't chase the gap. - #27: border participates in layout and reflows text, outline does not — for any decoration toggling at performance rates, outline is the correct primitive. - #5: the HUD, pulsar-tidalcycles, and ~/.pulsar/styles.less are three separate version-control domains (the last untracked entirely, as user config). One visual bug can need coordinated edits across all three, which is exactly what #35 hit.
