Openoats Foundation

Use when porting a local-first recording/session store: canonical per-session directory layouts with permission-hardened atomic JSON writes, long-lived append file handles, delayed async-enrichment write draining before shutdown, destructive-overwrite backup ladders, time-windowed artifact retention, empty-"ghost" session reconciliation, abandoned-session resume election, user-tag updates that must preserve machine-namespaced tags, hostile-filename-safe attachment import with copy-before-metadata consistency, ordered finalize drain ladders with ghost collapse and typed recovery results, pure audio-retention/empty-session health plans, or session-selection state resets that preserve unsaved drafts. Source code and direct tests are ground truth; references carry decisive excerpts and graph retrieval.

OpenOats: session-storage kernel foundation

Foundation contract

This is a cold, source-specific foundation, not an operational procedure. It is historical, revision-pinned evidence rather than timeless guidance. Current project source, tests, requirements, and runtime behavior outrank this projection and decide what ships.

Provenance and revision

Source record: openoats; portable upstream identity, license, coverage caveats, and retrieval history are preserved in the index.
Recorded revision: main@bc0ddb9d5d12e2ea4dddbc2c1b09e0c1ef708df7.
Full provenance, coverage caveats, boundaries, and preserved evidence: references/index.md.

Topic map

Representative topics: Session layout & seeding; Live handle lifecycle; Pending-write drain; Pre-batch backup ladder; Batch audio rerun window; Ghost reconciliation; Resume election; Internal-tag preservation.
Scope and retrieval questions: references/index.md#use-this-for.
Complete capsule chooser: references/index.md#load-the-matching-source-dump.
Detailed grouped map: references/index.md#capsule-map.
Source limitations and portability boundaries: references/index.md#boundaries.

Retrieval

Open the index, choose one capsule matching the active question, and load only that capsule. Revalidate its cited source and revision before relying on it. Do not bulk-load the inventory, treat historical claims as current truth, or apply this foundation as a procedure.
