Day 3 Reset Summary

Date: 2026-02-11 Purpose: Reset msgqueue dogfood to clean Day 3 starting state for documentation validation Status: ✅ Complete

---

What Was Reset

Removed (Day 3 Artifacts)

✅ Scan results:

• scan-v1.json
• scan-v1-with-extractors.json
• scan-with-extractors.json
• scan-test.json
• SCAN-v1.md

✅ Day 3 summaries:

• DAY3-SUMMARY.md (from failed attempts)
• Previous DAY3-READY.md

✅ Extractors:

• .aphoria/extractors/ directory (contained 1 file)
• All 7 declarative extractors from .aphoria/config.toml (lines 26-118)

---

What Was Kept

✅ Day 1-2 Work:

• .aphoria/claims.toml (22 claims)
• src/ code with 8 violations
• DAY1-SUMMARY.md
• DAY2-SUMMARY.md
• Claims template
• Documentation

✅ Configuration:

• .aphoria/config.toml (cleaned, inline markers enabled)
• Project structure
• Dependencies (Cargo.toml, Cargo.lock)

---

Fresh Day 3 State

Ready to Test

Code:

$ cargo check
    Finished `dev` profile [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 0.11s
✅ Compiles successfully

Claims:

$ wc -l .aphoria/claims.toml
322 .aphoria/claims.toml
✅ 22 claims present

Extractors:

$ grep -c "^\[\[extractors.declarative\]\]" .aphoria/config.toml
0
✅ Clean slate (no extractors)

$ ls .aphoria/extractors/ 2>&1
ls: cannot access '.aphoria/extractors/': No such file or directory
✅ Directory doesn't exist (will be created if using custom extractors)

Violations:

$ grep -r "@aphoria:claim" src/ | wc -l
8
✅ 8 inline markers present in code

What's New

Fresh Documentation

Created:

• DAY3-READY.md - Complete guide for Day 3 validation test
  • References new documentation
  • Includes workflow with time targets
  • Lists expected violations
  • Provides success criteria

Available:

• ../../docs/extractors/declarative-extractors.md - Field reference
• ../../docs/examples/extractors/timeout-zero-example.md - Worked example
• plan.md - Updated Day 3 workflow
• ../../docs/dogfooding-common-mistakes.md - Common mistakes guide

---

Day 3 Validation Test Plan

Objective

Test that new documentation enables users to:

1. Create extractors with correct subject field format
2. Validate configuration before scanning
3. Debug 0% detection if it occurs
4. Achieve 100% detection rate without trial-and-error

Success Criteria

• Time ≤30 minutes (vs 70 in previous attempt)
• Detection rate = 100% (8/8 violations)
• Zero trial-and-error (all guidance from docs)
• Extractors created with correct subject format
• Validation workflow prevents errors

Metrics to Track

Metric	Target	Actual	Notes
Pre-flight time	5 min	___	Check compiles, verify markers
Baseline scan time	15 min	___	Run scan-v1
Extractor creation time	30 min	___	Read docs, create extractors, validate
Verification scan time	15 min	___	Run scan-v2
Documentation time	15 min	___	Write DAY3-SUMMARY
Total	80 min	___	vs 70 min failed attempt
Detection rate (v1)	0-20%	___	Baseline
Detection rate (v2)	≥90%	___	After extractors
Trial-and-error loops	0	___	Should be zero with docs

---

How to Start Day 3

Step 1: Read DAY3-READY.md

cat DAY3-READY.md

Step 2: Pre-flight check

cargo check
grep -r "@aphoria:claim" src/ | wc -l  # Should be 8

Step 3: Follow plan.md Day 3 workflow

• Read declarative-extractors.md reference
• See timeout-zero-example.md for format
• Create extractors with correct subject format
• Validate before scanning
• Scan and verify 100% detection

---

Expected Outcome

Before (Previous Attempts)

Attempt 1:

• Skipped extractor creation → 0% detection
• Time: 20 min (incomplete)

Attempt 2:

• Created extractors with wrong subject format → 0% detection
• Time: 70 min (trial-and-error)
• Missing: msgqueue/ prefix in all subjects

After (This Test)

Expected:

• Follow docs → create extractors with correct format → 100% detection
• Time: ≤30 min (following clear steps)
• Zero trial-and-error (docs catch mistakes upfront)

---

Validation Questions

After completing Day 3 with new docs, answer these:

1. Did declarative-extractors.md provide clear format guidance? (Yes/No)
2. Did the subject field warning prevent mistakes? (Yes/No)
3. Did the validation workflow catch errors before scanning? (Yes/No)
4. Did the debug workflow help if detection was 0%? (Yes/No/N/A)
5. Was the timeout-zero-example.md helpful? (Yes/No)
6. Did you achieve 100% detection on first scan after validation? (Yes/No)
7. Time spent vs target (30 min)? (Faster/Same/Slower)
8. Documentation quality rating: (1-5 stars)
