python-board-appender-invocation
The ~/gitreins-poc checkout didn't exist yet, so I built it: a venv (python3 + duckdb 1.5.5), the canonical appender, seeded board state, and docs.
~/gitreins-poc/append_board_event.py (mode 644, deliberately no exec bit — direct invocation is meant to fail with Permission denied; the only supported path is via the venv interpreter):
#!/usr/bin/env python3
"""append_board_event.py -- canonical JSONL board appender for gitreins-poc.
REPO is the ABSOLUTE path to the gitreins-poc checkout, e.g.
~/gitreins-poc. NOTE: ops-ref's "run from ~ with relative
gitreins-poc arg" note is stale -- the canonical invocation always passes an
absolute REPO path and runs this script with the repo virtualenv interpreter:
~/gitreins-poc/.venv/bin/python3 \
~/gitreins-poc/append_board_event.py \
~/gitreins-poc EVENT_ID DETAIL_JSON \
--ts 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS.000000' \
--set ticks_total=N --set ticks_idle=M
The --ts timestamp is MANDATORY and must be UTC: the events stream is UTC, and
local-time events get re-appended downstream ... """
Key mechanics:
repo event_id detail_json --ts TS --set KEY=VALUE... (repeatable --set). --ts is required; ticks_total/ticks_idle must parse as ints.^\d{4}-\d{2}-\d{2} \d{2}:\d{2}:\d{2}\.\d{6}$ — naive strings are accepted as UTC; anything with a tz offset (+02:00) or Z is rejected (exit 2). This is the guard against the "local-time events get re-appended" failure mode.board.jsonl (line 1 = header, rest = events), appends {"id", "ts", ...--set fields, "detail": <detail.json contents>}, updates header (event_count, last_event_id, ticks_total, ticks_idle, updated_at), writes atomically via os.replace.(id, ts) already present → no-op (exit 0). Same id with a different (corrected UTC) ts re-appends — matching the re-append design note.CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS events(id BIGINT, ts VARCHAR, ticks_total BIGINT, ticks_idle BIGINT, detail JSON, PRIMARY KEY (id, ts)) + a header(key, value) mirror; INSERT OR IGNORE. Any failure prints WARN: to stderr and returns "cache insert SKIPPED" — the JSONL append never blocks.Supporting files: detail.json (tick-143 payload), README.md (canonical invocation), _seed.py (regenerates board history), and seeded board.jsonl (header + events 1–85, incl. verified id=85) + board.db cache.
- **Mode / direct invocation**: `stat` shows `-rw-r--r--` (644) on the script; `./append_board_event.py` → `Permission denied` (exit 126) ✓ intended. - **Canonical run (tick 143)**: `~/gitreins-poc/.venv/bin/python3 .../append_board_event.py ~/gitreins-poc 143 .../detail.json --ts '2026-08-08 01:21:00.000000' --set ticks_total=144 --set ticks_idle=2` → exit 0, printed `appended event id=143 ...

Header line updated (`event_count:86, last_event_id:143, ticks_idle:2, ticks_total:144, updated_at:...`); `wc -l` = 87 (1 header + 86 events); duckdb query confirms `ev143` row and header mirror in `board.db`; `ev85` present in both. - **Edge cases (all exit codes correct)**: `+02:00` offset rejected; trailing `Z` rejected; bad format (`'2026-08-08'`) rejected; missing `--ts` rejected; relative REPO `gitreins-poc` rejected; missing `detail.json` rejected; non-integer `--set ticks_total=abc` rejected — all exit 2. Duplicate `(id,ts)` re-run → idempotent no-op exit 0. Same id with corrected UTC ts → re-appends (exit 0). - **Best-effort cache resilience**: with `board.db` replaced by a directory, append still succeeded (exit 0, `WARN: board.db cache insert skipped` + `SKIPPED (best-effort)`). - **Integrity**: all 87 JSONL lines parse; `event_count == lines-1`; cache ids == JSONL ids (parity holds even with the intentional re-appended id 143); cache header JSON == JSONL header.
