This folder contains daily, append-only engineering progress logs for the webhost.systems implementation effort.
These logs are non-normative (they do not define requirements).
The normative spec remains docs/spec/ (especially 00_MASTER_SPEC.md and 10_API_CONTRACTS.md).
The purpose here is to document what changed, why, and what’s next, day-by-day, in a way that’s easy to audit.
progress/README.md — this index + conventions (you are here)
progress/YYYY-MM-DD.md — one file per day
Recommended: create a new file for each day you do meaningful work, even if it’s short.
Daily logs MUST be named:
YYYY-MM-DD.md (UTC date recommended)
Examples:
2026-01-21.md
2026-01-22.md
Do not rewrite history.
If you need to correct something from a prior day, add a note in today’s log under Corrections.
Each daily log SHOULD include:
What you shipped (high-level)
Key decisions (with references to ADRs/spec sections)
Files/dirs touched (short list)
What’s still missing / follow-ups
Known issues or risks
Validation performed (typecheck/tests/manual steps)
This is an engineering log, not a product diary. Prefer:
“Implemented /v1/telemetry/report signature verification and ownership cross-check”
over
“Worked on telemetry stuff”
Never include:
API keys, tokens, real URLs containing secrets, credentials, or private user data.
Use placeholders:
https://<deployment>.convex.site

If you want this README to also act like an index, keep an “Index” section updated manually:
YYYY-MM-DD.md — short title
(Keeping it manual is fine; automation can come later if needed.)
This folder supports:
auditability (“what changed when?”),
implementation pacing (“are we converging on v1 acceptance criteria?”),
easier handoffs and reviews.
If a log conflicts with docs/spec/, the spec wins.
