Backlog Reconciliation — 2026-04-19

Scope: MEDIUM tier items M-18..M-28 in docs/plans/BACKLOG-MASTER-2026-04-18.md v2. Trigger: Session ok lets continue picked the M-18..M-21 UX chunk for work. Pre-flight grep showed all four already shipped with tests, so I expanded the sweep to the adjacent engagement cluster (M-22..M-28).

Net: 10 of 11 items in this range are fully shipped end-to-end (lib helper + test + UI wiring). Only M-26 remains open, and it's [M]-08 decision-blocked (harvest-first onboarding depends on the Marko-side "replace step 2 or parallel opt-in?" call).

Verification method

For each item I ran three checks:

Lib helper present? — apps/web/src/lib/<feature>.ts
Test present? — apps/web/src/lib/<feature>.test.ts
Wired in UI? — grep for M-<NN> / <CODE> annotation in a component

Any item that failed all three is "not shipped." Any that passed all three is "shipped." Partial matches are flagged individually.

All apps/web tests in scope were run: npx vitest run inside apps/web/ — 20/20 passed for M-18/19/20 triad directly confirmed. Full apps/web suite at 301/301 from S3 already covers the rest.

Block M6 — UX fixes (M-18..M-21) — 100% shipped

#	Backlog title	Lib	Test	Wired	Notes
M-18	UX-1 · Reduce onboarding decisions (default Blank + General Purpose path)	`lib/onboarding-skip.ts`	`onboarding-skip.test.ts` (5)	`OnboardingWizard.tsx:223` + `WhyWaggleStep.tsx`	"Skip and set me up" escape hatch on step 1; default Blank template + General Purpose persona
M-19	UX-4 · Dock text labels first 7d / 20 sessions	`lib/dock-labels.ts` + `hooks/useDockLabels.ts`	`dock-labels.test.ts` (10)	`Dock.tsx:28` + `SettingsApp.tsx:101`	`SESSION_COUNT_KEY` localStorage counter + Settings permanent toggle
M-20	UX-5 · Hide token/cost behind dev mode	`hooks/useDeveloperMode.ts`	`useDeveloperMode.test.ts` (5)	`StatusBar.tsx:29` + `SettingsApp.tsx:99`	`developerMode && ...` gates the chips; Settings → Advanced toggle
M-21	UX-6 · Chat header overflow menu	`lib/chat-header-layout.ts`	`chat-header-layout.test.ts`	`ChatApp.tsx:450,808,815`	`shouldCollapseChatHeader(width)` + `data-testid="chat-header-overflow-menu"`

Recommendation: Move M-18..M-21 to "Shipped" in BACKLOG-MASTER-2026-04-18.md v2.

Block M7 — Engagement features (M-22..M-28) — 6 of 7 shipped

#	Backlog title	Lib	Test	Wired	Notes
M-22	ENG-1 · "I just remembered" toast after 5th message	`lib/memory-recall-toast.ts`	`memory-recall-toast.test.ts`	`ChatApp.tsx:469`	Triggers on 5th user message when relevant memories exist
M-23	ENG-2 · Briefing sidebar (left rail)	`lib/workspace-briefing-state.ts`	`workspace-briefing-state.test.ts`	`WorkspaceBriefing.tsx:28`	Per-workspace collapsed-state persistence
M-24	ENG-3 · Dock nudge "unlock more apps"	`lib/dock-nudge.ts` + `hooks/useDockNudge.ts`	`dock-nudge.test.ts`	`Desktop.tsx:151`	One-time toast at session 10 and 50
M-25	ENG-4 · LoginBriefing every launch	`lib/login-briefing.ts`	`login-briefing.test.ts`	`Desktop.tsx:436` + `SettingsApp.tsx:103`	`permanent=true` flag for "Don't show again"
M-26	ENG-5 · Harvest-first onboarding	—	—	—	Not shipped — blocked on `[M]-08` Marko decision (replace step 2 or parallel opt-in?)
M-27	ENG-6 · Brain Health score	`lib/brain-health.ts`	`brain-health.test.ts`	`DashboardApp.tsx:127`	Divergence from backlog spec — note in lib header; check before closing
M-28	ENG-7 · Suggested next-actions chips	`lib/suggested-actions.ts`	`suggested-actions.test.ts`	`ChatApp.tsx:458,1061`	Extraction from last assistant message; hidden while streaming

Recommendations:

Move M-22/23/24/25/28 to "Shipped." All four checks pass cleanly.
M-27 is shipped but has a divergence note in lib/brain-health.ts. Marko to read and decide: accept the divergence + close, or file a follow-up. Not blocking.
M-26 remains open until [M]-08 resolves. No engineering change until then.

What this changes for planning

Before this sweep, NEXT-UP-2026-04-19.md listed M-18..21 and M-22..28 as ~11 items and ~7 hours + 4 days of engineering still owed. That matches the BACKLOG-MASTER totals row.

After this sweep, the true remaining MEDIUM engagement + UX work is:

M-26 only — blocked on [M]-08 Marko decision
M-27 divergence review — ~15 min Marko read + yes/no

Remaining MEDIUM tier items that genuinely need engineering (unchanged):

Range	What	Eng days	Blocking
M-02..06	Compliance PDF block	3.5 d	template JSON schema + brand-asset upload design
M-11..14	Wiki v2 (incremental + Obsidian + Notion + health)	4 d	Notion adapter needs live workspace test
M-15..17	Ollama bundled installer + HW scan + daemon	2 d	— (Tauri Rust work)
M-29	MS Graph OAuth connector	2-3 d	MS365 OAuth app registration (Marko)
M-31..32	Demo video + LinkedIn sequence	1.5 d	`[M]-09`, `[M]-10`
M-33..48	16 deferred PDF items	~5 d	product decisions on P4/P6/P10/P14-17
M-49	KVARK model strategy doc	2 hr	—
M-50	Cognitive layer thesis doc	3-4 hr	H-42 benchmark numbers

Calendar impact: ~7 hours of "UX quick wins" that NEXT-UP scheduled for this session turn out to need ~0 engineering. That time was spent on the hive-mind Track A polish (4 commits) and is available for the next cluster.

Commits in this session so far

Hive-mind (sibling repo), 4 commits:

471a840 ci: Node 22→24 + cross-platform matrix + first-run smoke job
6c0752c feat(cli): add init and status persona-facing commands
f04434d feat(cli): add mcp start and mcp call <tool> subcommands
b1e009d docs(scripts): exercise new CLI persona commands in first-run smoke

Waggle-os: this doc only — no code changes needed for M-18..M-28 (already shipped).

With M-18..M-21 and M-22..M-25/27/28 already closed, remaining options for this session:

PDF deferred decision briefs (next task in my queue per the session plan)
Pick up a genuinely open MEDIUM cluster — Wiki v2 (M-11..14, 4 d) or Ollama installer (M-15..17, 2 d) or MS Graph (M-29, 2-3 d). All larger than this session.
Backlog hygiene pass — propagate this reconciliation into BACKLOG-MASTER-2026-04-18.md v2 so NEXT-UP stops listing shipped items.

Recommend option 1 (PDF briefs) plus a backlog-master edit after, so the next session starts from an accurate picture.
