git-internal 0.8.4

High-performance Rust library for Git internal objects, Pack files, and AI-assisted development objects (Intent, Plan, Task, Run, Evidence, Decision) with delta compression, streaming I/O, and smart protocol support.
Documentation
# AI Object Model Reference

This document describes the AI object model in `git-internal` after the
snapshot / event / Libra split.

## Design Principle

`git-internal` stores immutable historical facts.

- **Snapshot objects** answer: "what was stored at this revision?"
- **Event objects** answer: "what happened later?"
- **Libra projections** answer: "what is the system's current view?"

High-frequency runtime state must not be accumulated by rewriting parent
objects in `git-internal`.

## Libra Layer Terms

The Libra layer is not part of `git-internal` object storage. It holds
the current operational view reconstructed from immutable snapshots and
events.

### Thread

Conversation-level projection over related `Intent` snapshots.

- groups the `Intent` DAG for one ongoing discussion or task stream
- stores the current resume target, branch heads, and thread-local
  metadata
- can always be rebuilt from immutable history plus Libra-side
  projection records

### Scheduler

Runtime orchestrator that turns immutable history into executable work.

- selects the active `Plan` head and computes current ready work
- tracks active `Task` / `Run`, retry routing, and replanning decisions
- manages the live execution order without rewriting snapshot objects

### UI

User-facing presentation layer over the current system view.

- shows the active thread, selected plan, task / run progress, and audit
  evidence
- reads from Libra projections and immutable history
- does not define historical truth; it only renders the current view

### Query Index

Rebuildable lookup and denormalized access structures used for fast
queries.

- examples: `intent -> plans`, `intent -> analysis_context_frames`,
  `task -> runs`, `run -> events`, `run -> patchsets`
- optimized for retrieval, filtering, and dashboard queries
- not part of the immutable object graph and can be recomputed
  if needed

ContextFrame[E]   --run_id? / plan_id? / step_id? --> Run[S] / Plan[S] / Plan[S].step_id

Libra layer
===========

Thread[L] / Scheduler[L]
   -> current_intent_id
   -> selected_plan_id
   -> current_plan_heads[]
   -> active_task_id / active_run_id
   -> live_context_window
   -> reverse indexes over all [S] and [E]
```

## Placement Rules

### Snapshot objects in `git-internal`

- `Intent`
- `Plan`
- `Task`
- `Run`
- `PatchSet`
- `ContextSnapshot`
- `Provenance`

### Event objects in `git-internal`

- `IntentEvent`
- `TaskEvent`
- `RunEvent`
- `PlanStepEvent`
- `RunUsage`
- `ToolInvocation`
- `Evidence`
- `Decision`
- `ContextFrame`

`IntentEvent.next_intent_id` is a recommendation edge for "what
Intent should be handled next after this one completed". It does not
replace `Intent.parents`, which remains the semantic revision lineage.

### Runtime / projection state in Libra

- current selected plan head
- active task / active run
- thread heads / latest intent
- live context window
- reverse indexes and query acceleration

## Object Notes

### Intent

Snapshot of the user request and optional analyzed spec.

- keep: `parents`, `prompt`, `spec`, `analysis_context_frames`
- do not keep in snapshot: mutable status log, selected plan pointer, final commit pointer
- lifecycle belongs to `IntentEvent`
- `analysis_context_frames` freezes the context used to derive this
  `IntentSpec` revision

### Plan

Snapshot of the strategy and step structure.

- keep: `intent`, `parents`, `context_frames`, `steps`
- `context_frames` is planning-time context used to derive the plan
  from the `IntentSpec`, not prompt-analysis context
- `PlanStep.step_id` is the stable logical step identity across Plan revisions
- execution-time step state belongs to `PlanStepEvent`

### Task

Stable work definition.

- keep: title, description, goal, constraints, acceptance criteria, requester
- keep canonical provenance links: `intent`, `parent`, `origin_step_id`, `dependencies`
- runtime progress belongs to `TaskEvent`

### Run

Execution-attempt envelope.

- keep: `task`, `plan`, `commit`, `snapshot`, `environment`
- phase changes, failure details, and metrics belong to `RunEvent`
- usage/cost belongs to `RunUsage`

### PatchSet

Candidate diff snapshot.

- keep: `run`, `sequence`, `commit`, `format`, `artifact`, `touched`, `rationale`
- acceptance/rejection belongs to `Decision` or Libra projection

### Provenance

Immutable model/provider configuration for one run.

- keep: provider/model/parameters/temperature/max_tokens
- usage belongs to `RunUsage`

### ContextFrame

Immutable incremental context record.

- replaces the old mutable `ContextPipeline` runtime container
- referenced by `Intent.analysis_context_frames`,
  `Plan.context_frames`, and `PlanStepEvent.consumed_frames` /
  `produced_frames`
- `intent_id` can attach a frame directly to the intent-analysis phase

## Summary Rule

```text
1. Snapshot stores "what it is"
2. Event stores "what happened"
3. Libra stores "what is current"
```
