Feature Development Cycle Runbook

This is a real, working execution runbook for a tool I'm currently working on called "forkflow". I point it at an orchestrator agent (GPT 5.5 xhigh running in Codex app) and it develops a feature autonomously end to end — design through commit — fully reviewed and validated, with a dev agent (GPT 5.5 medium running in OMP) doing the implementation under dual monitoring.

Forkflow, pi-bridge, and AgentBrain (mentioned in this runbook) are all unreleased but coming (follow me!). This runbook is shared as a real-world reference for what I consider what a fully agent-driven development "loop" looks like in practice.

This is the normal Forkflow feature or issue development cycle: backlog item, design goal, Forkflow self-forked design work, implementation goal, dev agent (ff-dev) handoff to OMP, supervision, review, validation, AgentBrain handling, and closeout.

Forkflow is the product. pi-bridge is operator tooling used to communicate between Codex

Design: Exactly 32 char encrypted value fix

Intent / problem statement

A migrated Go UserEntries read can return invalid replacement-character text in the review field for entries whose stored encrypted review value is exactly 32 hexadecimal characters. Flutter treats a non-empty review for free write, highlight, and lowlight entries as JSON and calls jsonDecode(review), so the malformed value can crash the journal page after entries download.

The user outcome is: journal entry list reads should preserve the legacy JS-visible contract where an encrypted empty review decrypts to the empty string, allowing Flutter to use Review.none() instead of parsing garbage as JSON.
