Phase 05 Plan 01: Restart Reconciliation Summary

Matrix startup now rebuilds Space-owned working rooms into durable local routing state before live sync begins

Performance

• Duration: 8 min
• Started: 2026-04-27T22:00:47Z
• Completed: 2026-04-27T22:08:47Z
• Tasks: 2
• Files modified: 4

Accomplishments

• Added a dedicated reconciliation module that restores user_meta, room_meta, auth state, chat bindings, and missing platform_chat_id values from the synced Matrix room graph.
• Wired startup to run reconciliation immediately after the initial full-state sync and before sync_forever().
• Added regression coverage for recovery, idempotence, pre-sync ordering, onboarding compatibility, and legacy restart backfill.

Task Commits

Each task was committed atomically:

1. Task 1: Add restart reconciliation regression coverage - a75b26a (test)
2. Task 2: Implement authoritative startup reconciliation and wire it before live sync - 8a80d00 (feat)

Files Created/Modified

• adapter/matrix/reconciliation.py - Startup recovery from Matrix topology into local room and user metadata.
• adapter/matrix/bot.py - Startup wiring that runs reconciliation after the bootstrap sync and before live sync.
• tests/adapter/matrix/test_reconciliation.py - Recovery, idempotence, and startup-order regression coverage.
• tests/adapter/matrix/test_restart_persistence.py - Legacy platform_chat_id backfill persistence coverage.

Decisions Made

• Used the synced Matrix room graph as the authoritative source for restart recovery, while preserving existing local metadata whenever it is already valid.
• Kept legacy platform_chat_id repair on a single startup path so routed handling never needs ad hoc fallback creation for existing rooms.

Deviations from Plan

Auto-fixed Issues

1. [Rule 3 - Blocking] Switched verification to a clean uv run pytest environment

• Found during: Task 1 and Task 2 verification
• Issue: The default pytest path used a mismatched virtualenv without repo dependencies, and .env injected Matrix backend variables that polluted mock-mode tests.
• Fix: Ran the verification slice through uv run pytest with UV_CACHE_DIR=/tmp/uv-cache-surfaces and blank MATRIX_AGENT_REGISTRY_PATH / MATRIX_PLATFORM_BACKEND values to match the intended test environment.
• Files modified: None
• Verification: uv run pytest slice passed with 50/50 tests green
• Committed in: not applicable (verification-only adjustment)

---

Total deviations: 1 auto-fixed (1 blocking) Impact on plan: Verification needed an environment correction, but code scope stayed within the plan and owned files.

Issues Encountered

• The shell environment loaded deployment-oriented Matrix backend settings from .env; these had to be neutralized for the mock-mode regression slice.

User Setup Required

None - no external service configuration required.

Next Phase Readiness

• Restart recovery is in place for existing Space rooms, including deterministic legacy platform_chat_id repair.
• Remaining Phase 05 plans can build on a stable pre-sync recovery path instead of lazy bootstrap for existing topology.

Self-Check: PASSED
