Unique to this episode

The victory lap. Scene highlight: loading a 50MB real Buildbarn config, watching the virtualized tree render in under a second, toggling dark mode, using Ctrl+S to save, and finally tagging v1.0.0 in Git Projects — publish job kicks off, @hermetiq/buildbarn-forms@1.0.0 lands in the registry. Final Deploy Tracker entry.

The real engineering work

Tree virtualization for large arrays, lazy-load of proto metadata, dark-mode toggle, keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+S, Ctrl+K), a11y sweep to WCAG 2.1 AA, performance benchmarks. Version bumped to 1.0.0 and published.

Scene list (abbreviated — hero episode shows the full flow)

  1. Pickup — Alex filters Task Board to the next story, moves to in_progress.
  2. AI session — Claude drafts the implementation using the canned fixture for this story. Focus the camera on the specific thing this phase is about (see “Unique” above).
  3. Review — Jordan’s PR Review Board shows the diff, Jordan approves (or requests a targeted change unique to this phase).
  4. Merge + ship — CI green, package published, Deploy Tracker updates. Quick cut.
  5. Close — narration underlines what shipped and why it matters for the next episode.

  • Canned Claude diff for this story under packages/robos-test/sandbox/data/model-problem/p10-polish/.
  • Any phase-specific fixture (e.g. proto descriptors from Video 05) must be in place — don’t start recording until the previous episode’s artifacts are real.
  • Narration script: draft ~6 cues specific to this phase’s story.
