One real held-out session in osabiohq/osabio, replayed from the
reconstructed pre-session codebase. The real agent turns are held fixed; at each user turn the
simulated developer (v5 folder simulator) produces its message conditioned on the same real
prefix — so the left and right columns face identical context. Move tags are the labelled speech act;
green = same move as the real user. Per-turn move agreement: 3/6.
| <system_instruction> You are working inside Conductor, a Mac app that lets the user run many coding agents in parallel. Your work should take place in the /Users/marcus/conductor/workspaces/brain-v1/san-francisco-v2 directory (unless otherwise directed), which has been set up for you to work in. Each workspace has a .context directory (gitignored) where you can save files to collaborate with other agents. The target branch for this workspace is main. Use this for actions like creating new PRs, bisecting, etc., unless you're told otherwise. By default, the user will only see the last message that you send before stopping. Include all essential information in the last message. The intermediate messages will be collapsed and accessible by the user but not displayed by default. If the user asks you to work on several unrelated tasks, you can suggest they start new workspaces. Sometimes the user might send you a message they meant to send in a different workspace or a different chat. If something doesn't make sense in the context of your work, just ask. If the user asks for help with Conductor, you can ask them to go to "Help -> Send Feedback" to get in touch with our team. </system_instruction> /nw-root-why marcus@Marcuss-MacBook-Pro san-francisco-v2 % bun migrate $ bun run --env-file=.env schema/migrate.ts 90 pending migration(s): ✗ Failed: 0001_agent_session_and_subtask.surql (statement 2) → The query was not executed due to a failed transaction error: script "migrate" exited with code 1 | — (not simulated) |

| refine_redirect this issue goes further back than whats on main | question what changed in the migrations recently |
| AGENT · Root cause confirmed. **`DEFINE FIELD` without `OVERWRITE` is no longer idempotent in SurrealDB v3.0.4** — it now throws "The field 'X' already exists". The base schema (`surreal-schema.surql`) is cumulative, so `surrealdb-init` already creates all tables/fields. Then migration 0001+ tries bare `DEFINE FIELD` on existing fields and fails. 71 of 92 migration files use bare `DEFINE FIELD`. Two fix options: **A) Add `OVERWRITE` to all `DEFINE FIELD/INDEX` in migrations** — makes them idempotent, aligns with CLAUDE.md guidance. Mechanical change across 71 files. **B) Fix the migration runner** — after base schema import, detect it's a fresh DB and record all migrations as "applied" without ex… | |

Cross-wave support providing research-backed insights for any nWave phase using trusted academic|official|industry sources. Optional `--skill-for={agent-name}` distills research into a practitioner-focused skill file for a specific agent. ## Orchestration: Trusted Source Config At orchestration time, before invoking the researcher subagent: 1. **Read** `.nwave/trusted-source-domains.yaml` from the project root 2. **If file missing**, seed it from the defaults in the `## Default Trusted Sources` section below, then notify the user: "Seeded `.nwave/trusted-source-domains.yaml` with defaults (7 categories, 42 trusted domains, 5 excluded). Edit the YAML directly to customize." 3. **Embed** the YAML content inline in the researcher subagent Task prompt so the agent receives trusted source config via prompt context ## Agent Invocation @nw-researcher Execute \*research on {topic} [--skill-for={agent-name}]. **Configuration:** - research_depth: detailed # overview/detailed/comprehensive/deep-dive - source_preferences: ["academic", "official", "technical_docs"] - output_directory: docs/research/ - skill_for: {agent-name} # Optional: distilled skill for specified agent - skill_output_directory: ~/.claude/nWave/skills/{agent-name}/ ## Output Management The researcher MUST create the output file in the FIRST 5 turns with a document skeleton (title, sections, placeholders). All subsequent findings are written DIRECTLY to this file as they are gathered -- never held only in context. If the agent is interrupted or runs out of turns, the output file contains all work done so far. This is the researcher's equivalent of the crafter's "commit early, commit often."

| AGENT · Here's what the research found: ## Root Cause SurrealDB **intentionally removed** bare `DEFINE` idempotency in the v2.0 alpha cycle (PR #4148, August 2024). The `OVERWRITE` keyword was added as the explicit replacement (PR #4465). This carries forward to all v3.0.x releases — it's not a bug, it's by design. ## How to Write Migrations **Rule: Always use `DEFINE ... OVERWRITE` in migration files.** | Statement | Correct | Wrong | |-----------|---------|-------| | Field | `DEFINE FIELD OVERWRITE name ON table TYPE string;` | `DEFINE FIELD name ON table TYPE string;` | | Table | `DEFINE TABLE OVERWRITE foo SCHEMAFULL;` | `DEFINE TABLE foo SCHEMAFULL;` | | Index | `DEFINE INDEX OVERWRITE idx… | |
| approve_proceed yes, fix all the migration files | approve_proceed go with A, add OVERWRITE to all migrations |
| AGENT · All 90 migrations applied successfully. Here's the summary of what was fixed: **Three categories of SurrealDB v3.0 idempotency breakage:** 1. **`DEFINE FIELD/INDEX/TABLE` without `OVERWRITE`** — now errors "already exists". Fixed by adding `OVERWRITE` to all bare `DEFINE` statements across all migration files via sed. 2. **`REMOVE FIELD/INDEX` without `IF EXISTS`** — now errors "does not exist". Fixed by adding `IF EXISTS` to all `REMOVE` statements. 3. **Transaction write conflict in 0081** — `DEFINE FIELD OVERWRITE` + `REMOVE FIELD` on the same table within one transaction causes a write conflict in v3.0.4. Fixed by removing the transaction wrapper (all statements are idempotent DDL, d… | |
