dream

You are performing a rollup / dream on the continuum chain: collapsing the last N links into a single durable "phase digest" so the chain stays sub-linear in size while preserving decision lineage.

What to do

1. Gather the input package with the helper:

   node "$(cat .continuum/.plugin-root)/lib/dream_prepare.js" --n ${ARGUMENTS:-25}
   

   Read the JSON output. Key fields:

   • rollupCandidateIds — ids that will be collapsed
   • summaries — id → summary text (this is your raw material)
   • tagsUnion — superset of tags across candidates (use to choose digest tags)
   • tsRange — first/last timestamp covered
   • canProceed — if false, ABORT and tell the user why (from warnings)

2. Compose the digest summary in your head (~800 tokens). Rules:

   • Merge duplicates. If link 0007 says "use MFA" and link 0009 says "use MFA via TOTP," collapse to one decision with the concrete value.
   • Drop superseded-and-irrelevant. If link 0005 said "basic login" and link 0010 superseded with "MFA," the digest records ONLY MFA — but explicitly notes the supersession lineage ("MFA, supersedes earlier basic-login decision from this phase").
   • Preserve decision lineage. Never silently drop a contradiction; state it as resolved.
   • References, not payloads. If detail belongs in code/commits/archives, reference it — don't restate.

   Use the structure:

   ## Phase digest: <ids> (<tsRange>)
   
   ## Resolved decisions
   - <decision> <lineage if superseding>
   
   ## Carried-forward open threads
   - <still-unresolved at end of phase>
   
   ## Constraints / Do not (cumulative)
   - <durable "do not" items>
   
   ## Dropped (no longer relevant)
   - <briefly: superseded items not worth carrying>
   
   ## Provenance
   - rolled-up links: <ids>
   

3. Commit the rollup atomically with the finalize helper:

   cat <<'CONTINUUM_DIGEST_EOF' | node "$(cat .continuum/.plugin-root)/lib/dream_finalize.js" --rollup-ids "<comma-separated-ids>" --tags "phase-digest,<other-tags-from-tagsUnion>"
   <YOUR DIGEST MARKDOWN HERE>
   CONTINUUM_DIGEST_EOF
   

   The script prints the new digest link id. It:

   • Writes the new digest link
   • Moves all rollup-ids directories from chain/links/NNNN/ to chain/links/_archived/NNNN/
   • Appends a tombstone entry per archived link to index.jsonl (originals are NEVER mutated)
   • Clears any pending-checkpoint sentinel

4. Do NOT regenerate STATE.md as part of dream. STATE.md is regenerated by /continuum:checkpoint, not rollup — rollup is purely a chain-compression operation that preserves history.

5. Report back to the user: new digest id, range covered, count rolled up, and whether you noticed any contradiction worth surfacing.
