M4: close out Save Points, with browser verification
Closes M4. The review's three findings are fixed, the durability rule the specification always implied is now enforced, and M3's and M4's browser behaviour has been verified in a real browser for the first time. B-1 -- the Save Point list was an N+1 that loaded whole Action rows, narration included, to answer "does a row exist here". It is now one bulk two-column coordinate query plus one lineage: 53 SELECTs for 25 Save Points became 5, and the count no longer grows with the list. The clause is an OR of exact (branch, depth) pairs rather than two IN lists, because the cross product would report a Save Point resolved on the strength of another one's depth existing on this one's branch. A test builds exactly that trap. B-2 -- reclassified during closeout from "missing warning" to a behaviour defect, and fixed as one. STORY-BRANCH-SEMANTICS §19 says a named checkpoint remains until explicitly deleted, and §28 already required future cleanup to retain checkpoint-referenced paths; a cascade that silently removed Save Points with a branch violated both, and a warning would only have documented the violation. A branch a Save Point names can no longer be deleted. The request is refused with the offending Save Points named, the user deletes them explicitly -- which deletes no story -- and the branch then goes. The scope is the subtree, because deleting a branch takes its descendants. Both delete controls disable and explain. Recorded as a new §19.1; models.py, TECHNICAL-DESIGN §8.8 and DATA-MODEL §8 had all recorded the cascade as the rule and now record the refusal. An earlier pass in this same closeout had kept the cascade and added a warning. That was the wrong fix and its tests were replaced rather than left standing, since they pinned the defect. B-3 -- the D11/L03 automation never left one process, so it could not distinguish durable state from a live Python object. It now spawns real server processes, kills the first, and reads the campaign back with the second. C-5 -- creating a Save Point takes the campaign's turn lock. "Save where I am" has to name one committed position, and the head is what a turn in flight is about to move. Rename and Delete deliberately do not take it. The architecture is untouched: a Save Point is still name + note + (branch, depth), and restore is still coordinate -> head.move_to_node -> head.move_to -> attempts.restore_state. No second restore path, no state copied into a checkpoint, no fork on restore. Browser verification -- the first in this project, and it covers both milestones. Firefox 154.0.1 through geckodriver over the W3C WebDriver protocol, driving the rendered DOM: 47/47 checks, twice, on independent databases, no console errors. M3's Undo/Redo enable states, transcript movement, Retry and the take pager, divergence retiring Redo; M4's whole Save Point lifecycle, both confirmations, and the new branch-delete refusal including its recovery. No dependency was added: the WebDriver client is stdlib HTTP. No application defect was found by the browser. Four failures occurred, all in the harness -- a wrong SPA route, a wait comparing transcript length when the empty-story placeholder is longer than the first turn, a fixture deleting the branch it was reading, and a reload assertion that sampled once instead of waiting. The last was checked against the app before being called a harness bug. Tests: 698 backend pass (was 680), 60 M4, 94 M3 history, 66 export/ migrations, 93 security/local-only. Frontend lint and build clean, Docker build clean, loopback binding unchanged. No assertion weakened, no skip added. Planning: STORY-BRANCH-SEMANTICS §19.1 is the only behavioural change and it strengthens §19. V1-ACCEPTANCE-TESTS records D11-D14, I04, L03 and the E-series, keeping automated, live-runtime and browser evidence distinct, and weakens no pass condition. DATA-MODEL records the coordinate with the retry measurement that settles it. BROWSER-UX-SPEC rules for Moment over Turn. BUILD-MILESTONES marks M4 COMPLETE, closes M3's browser condition, and lists what M5 inherits. VERSION adds v2.6. No new ADR: ADR 005 already decides that history is preserved rather than overwritten, and §19.1 is that decision applied to checkpoint-referenced history. M4 is closed. M5 may now be briefed; it has not been started. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01PWU4gTfLYY6Qq9U7aa9Qw2

### 19.1 A checkpoint protects the history it names
|
||||
|
||||
Added at M4 closeout, from implementation evidence.
|
||||
|
||||
§19's durability rule is only meaningful if something enforces it against the
|
||||
operations that delete history. Deleting a branch deletes that branch and
|
||||
everything forked from it, so a checkpoint naming a position anywhere in that
|
||||
subtree would go with it — and go silently, because the story is what the user
|
||||
asked to delete and the named moments are not mentioned in the request.
|
||||
|
||||
Therefore:
|
||||
|
||||
- **A branch cannot be deleted while a checkpoint names a position on it, or on
|
||||
any branch forked from it.** The deletion is refused, not amended: nothing is
|
||||
half-deleted, and no checkpoint is quietly relocated or dropped.
|
||||
- **The refusal names the checkpoints standing in the way**, so the user knows
|
||||
what to act on rather than being told only that something is in the way.
|
||||
- **The user resolves it by deleting the checkpoint explicitly**, which is
|
||||
§19's "until explicitly deleted" being honoured rather than worked around.
|
||||
Deleting a checkpoint still deletes no story (§25), so the recovery costs the
|
||||
user nothing they wanted to keep.
|
||||
- **The scope is the subtree**, not the named branch alone.
|
||||
|
||||
This is the same rule §28 already anticipates for a future cleanup feature —
|
||||
*retain paths referenced by checkpoints* — applied to the one deletion path that
|
||||
exists today. A cleanup or discarded-history feature added later must honour it
|
||||
too, and must not acquire a way to delete a checkpoint as a side effect of
|
||||
deleting history.
|
||||
|
||||
Campaign deletion is not an exception to this and needs no rule: deleting a
|
||||
campaign deletes everything in it, checkpoints included, and that is what the
|
||||
user asked for.
