NEXT SESSION STARTUP (Step-by-Step)
1. Initialize Session (MANDATORY - BLOCKS WITHOUT LOCAL SERVER)
node scripts/session-init.js
CRITICAL: Run IMMEDIATELY at session start AND after context compaction!
Blocks if: Local server not running on port 9000 Fix:
- Open new terminal window
cd /home/theflow/projects/tractatusnpm start- Wait for "Server running on port 9000"
- Re-run:
node scripts/session-init.js
What session-init validates (must all pass):
- Local development server on port 9000
- All 6 framework components operational
- Framework unit tests passing
- Token checkpoints reset (50k, 100k, 150k)
- Instruction history loaded from database
- MongoDB connection (tractatus_dev)
- CSP compliance scan
- Defense-in-depth audit
- Dependency license check
2. System Validation Checklist
node scripts/session-init.jspasses all checks- Framework services: 6/6 active (ContextPressureMonitor, BoundaryEnforcer, CrossReferenceValidator, MetacognitiveVerifier, InstructionPersistenceClassifier, PluralisticDeliberationOrchestrator)
- Hooks system configured (validate-file-edit.js, validate-file-write.js, check-token-checkpoint.js)
- MongoDB running on port 27017 (database: tractatus_dev)
- Local server on port 9000
- Production site healthy: https://agenticgovernance.digital
3. Framework Consultation Verification
CRITICAL: Framework consultation count MUST be > 0 if architectural changes are made.
- Consult Tractatus framework BEFORE making changes to routes, models, middleware, or services
- Use
ffprefix for framework audit on values/trade-off questions - Use
ffsfor framework statistics
4. Context Review Steps
- Read this handoff document
- Review CLAUDE.md for critical instructions
- Check recent git log:
git log --oneline -10 - Check git status:
git status - Review any open plans or in-progress work below
5. Quick Reference
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Database | tractatus_dev (MongoDB port 27017) |
| App | Node.js/Express on port 9000 (systemd, NOT pm2) |
| Stack | Vanilla JS, Tailwind CSS, MongoDB |
| Deploy | ./scripts/deploy.sh |
| Deploy dry-run | ./scripts/deploy.sh --dry-run |
| Production URL | https://agenticgovernance.digital |
| SSH | ssh -i ~/.ssh/tractatus_deploy ubuntu@vps-93a693da.vps.ovh.net |
6. Common Issues Troubleshooting
| Issue | Fix |
|---|---|
| session-init blocks | Start local server: npm start in new terminal |
| MongoDB not running | sudo systemctl start mongod |
| Deploy fails on uncommitted | Use ./scripts/deploy.sh --yes or commit first |
| Framework fade warning | Use framework triggers (ff, ffs) to re-activate |
| Port 9000 in use | lsof -i :9000 to find process, kill if stale |
