There was a problem hiding this comment.
Docs refresh; fixed the failing markdownlint MD049 (underscore→asterisk emphasis in IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md). Approving.

Summary
Two things in one plan-maintenance PR:
Refresh
IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.mdagainstmain(main at fix(release): produce a clean source-only tarball and gate it in verify-rc #829). Thecommitted plan was stale (it still listed the shipped education
restructure as planned). Reconciled In-flight/shipped/planned by artifact
on
main, not branch ancestry: dropped merged items, listed the 12current in-flight branches, and added the
ai-tutorsregenerate anddiscoverability items.
Record the
.apache-magpie-local/personal-override convention inspecs/adoption-and-setup.md(acceptance 5) plus a one-shot"use framework defaults this run" switch (acceptance 6), with matching
build items (
magpie-local-convention,override-bypass-one-shot) andthree hybrid-setup how-to items in the plan.
hanks to Paul King for the hybrid-setup use cases that motivated the
convention: teams where some members use Magpie and others do not, mixing
committed project overrides with per-person defaults (including temporarily
falling back to the framework default), per-role capability/MCP access (a
release manager enabling a Policy MCP others leave off), and using Magpie
against a repo that has not adopted it. Paul's insight that a semi-standard
gitignored "local"/"scratch" directory could unlock these is exactly the
missing primitive: today the only shared override surface,
.apache-magpie-overrides/, is committed, so there is nothing per-person..apache-magpie-local/is that gitignored sibling, read under the sameadditive-only, cannot-weaken-safety guardrail, with precedence
personal-local -> committed -> organization -> framework default.
Once the surface exists, most of the hybrid scenarios become conventions and
how-tos rather than bespoke features, which is why items 5-7 are documentation
blocked on the one foundational build item (item 3).
