Canonical PIM build log (RFC-0004 Phase A+B+C+D + RFC-0007 PR7)

Worked-example artifact per RFC-0004 §2 §6.5 — model + timing for the original PIM tranche, with a short RFC-0007 PR7 addendum for the later channel-feed/rendering proof.

Plan source: pim-canonical-module-build_2984894e (Cursor plan file)
Executors: composer-2.5-fast (Phases 0, A, B, C, B′ clean-up); claude-opus-4-7-thinking-xhigh (FAIL fixes + Phase D, per RFC-0004 §7 + plan §8 fit-assessment "handoff to opus" recommendation)

Build completed: 2026-05-20T01:00:00-07:00 (Phases 0–D all shipped; Option-A integration variant queued as tech debt — see surface doc §"Open work" §8.1)
Total wall-clock: ~13 hours elapsed, ~5 hours active across two executors (estimated; not instrumented per-phase)
Token budget used: not measured

RFC-0007 PR7 addendum — channel-feed/rendering proof

On 2026-05-25, RFC-0007 PR7 added the first rendering-backed PIM channel-feed consumer: pim:product-catalog-csv@v1 and POST /pim/channel-feeds/product-catalog-csv/jobs. This is a vendor-neutral product-catalog CSV rendered through the canonical @umbraculum/rendering pipeline; vendor-specific Google Shopping, Amazon, Shopify, and Akeneo-shaped feed adapters remain future work. The as-built source of truth is canonical-pim-module-surface.md §5.5 and §8.3.

Baseline-green capture (Phase 0)

  • docker compose exec api npm run typecheckpass
  • docker compose exec api npm test -- src/tests/automationVessels.test.ts8/8 pass
  • Apparatus witness rules present

Phase D — landed (replaces the earlier "explicitly out of scope" note)

The earlier deferral was reversed by user direction mid-session ("C but then before audit plan do also D"). Phase D landed authored by the verifier (claude-opus-4-7-thinking-xhigh) in agent mode, with the explicit Option-A/B judgment call locked down before execution (Option B chosen; Option A queued in canonical-pim-module-surface.md §"Open work" §8.1).

Phase D deliverables (all shipped, all uncommitted per user policy):

Phase D verification

  • docker compose exec api npm test -- src/tests/pim5 test files, 34 tests, all green (8 products + 8 variants + 8 attribute sets + 8 categories + 2 cross-module integration). No regressions on the prior 32 L2 tests after Phase D test added.
  • README forward-link failures (Gate-skill re-verification section above) now resolved — both canonical-pim-module-surface.md and pimBreweryIntegration.test.ts exist on disk; check_full_scope(packages/canonical/pim/contracts/README.md) and check_sub_component(services/api/src/modules/pim/README.md) both PASS structurally (any residual Cross-references count warning is sub-component-acceptable).

Lessons learned

Week-1 audit follow-on (2026-05-21) — PIM route layout aligned

The route-group deviation flagged below (PIM at pim/ instead of (pim)/) was resolved by the Week-1 web-route-shape audit: see web-route-group-audit.md (accepted 2026-05-21) and the bundled RFC-0006. The audit ratified the two β disciplines (no (<code>)/page.tsx, no (<code>)/[<dynamic>]/page.tsx at the route-group root) and the URL-segment registry surface in @umbraculum/module-sdk. PIM is now at (pim)/ with three static sub-segments (products/, categories/, attribute-sets/) and declares ownedUrlSegments via registerWebModule(). URLs: /en/products[/<id>], /en/categories, /en/attribute-sets[/<id>]. The pim/ deviation was an architectural-axis confusion (URL-axis vs. filesystem-axis); the audit codified the filesystem-axis discipline (RFC-0002 §3 + the new two disciplines) and the CI script (scripts/check-web-url-segments.ts) that catches the same confusion in future PRs.

Lesson for plan authors of future canonical modules. β disciplines must be specified explicitly at plan-authoring time — "match the canonical reference" is insufficient when references can drift. The umbraculum-platform-tsjs-cursor-assistant plugin now ships rule 46-web-route-shape.mdc codifying both disciplines + the registerWebModule() contract; plans for future canonical modules should cite this rule rather than re-derive the shape.


Original lessons (pre-audit)

  • Docker bind mounts: @umbraculum/pim-contracts required the same /packages/canonical/pim/contracts:ro pattern as automation-contracts on api and web services; without recreating containers after docker-compose.yml edits, Vitest could not resolve the package.
  • Prisma multi-schema: Adding "pim" to datasource db.schemas worked without enabling a separate previewFeatures flag on Prisma 6.19.
  • Web routes: Product UI lives at apps/web/app/[locale]/pim/. This deviates from the canonical (automation)/ route-group pattern called for by the original plan §6. The deviation works (/en/pim returns the list page) and was retained pending an in-flight architectural audit of the project's route-group conventions — the (automation)/ reference itself appears to have a routing collision with [locale]/page.tsx that makes the vessels list at /en/automation unreachable. The audit will decide whether (automation)/, pim/, both, or neither is the canonical pattern going forward. See docs/design/web-route-group-audit.md (forthcoming) for the decision once recorded.
  • Phase D handoff worked as planned: The original plan §8 fit-assessment recommended escalating Phase D to opus or codex; user reversed the defer mid-session and tasked the verifier (opus) directly. The cross-module integration test pattern selection (Option A vs B) was the single judgment point and was surfaced to the user via AskQuestion before any code was written — a clean separation between "judgment Composer can't make" and "execution Composer can do mechanically." This pattern (verifier-as-finalist for judgment-dense phases, executor-as-bulk-implementor for template-fill phases) is recommended as a default for future canonical-module builds.
  • Forward-references in module READMEs forced a Phase D ordering: the FAIL-fix tranche added > [!NOTE] project callouts to both PIM READMEs which pulled in stricter downstream checks (notably the project-positioning requirement and broken-link detection on canonical-pim-module-surface.md). The latter only resolved once Phase D actually authored that file, so the FAIL-fix and Phase D tranches had to be sequenced — not parallelized. Future builds: order "fix structural FAILs" after "author the surface doc" to avoid the chicken-and-egg.
  • Option B over Option A for the integration test: the cross-module integration test landed as service-layer composition + reference-not-copy (no brewery schema change) rather than the originally-planned brewery Recipe.pimProductId FK round-trip. Option A is genuinely better evidence for the architectural claim, but Option A's cost (cross-schema FK, schema migration to a different module's surface, contracts-side recipe schema extension) was disproportionate for an alpha-tranche test. Option A is queued as tech-debt with explicit "when possible" trigger conditions in canonical-pim-module-surface.md §"Open work" §8.1. The pattern of recording the rejected option in the surface doc that owns the architectural claim is recommended as a default for future judgment-deferred work.
  • Web slice route-group deviation escalated to a separate audit: the verifier originally proposed renaming apps/web/app/[locale]/pim/(pim)/ to match the (automation)/ reference, but empirical testing showed the (automation)/ reference is itself routing-broken (vessels list page unreachable due to collision with [locale]/page.tsx + catch-all behavior of (automation)/[vesselCode]/page.tsx). The web slice was kept as pim/ and the broader question escalated into a dedicated route-group audit (docs/design/web-route-group-audit.md, forthcoming). Pattern: when "match the canonical reference" turns out to mean "match a broken reference," escalate the reference itself rather than propagating the brokenness.
