Task: Generic server-side history dispatch: one subject, per-entity handlers

Table of Contents

This page documents a task in the Consolidate history dialogs onto HistoryDialogBase story. It captures the goal, current status, acceptance, and any notes or results.

Goal

Add the generic history dispatch mechanism: a per-entity field mapper plus the generic NATS subject and server-side registry that consumes it, per History Diff Architecture.

Status

Field Value
State ABANDONED
Parent story Consolidate history dialogs onto HistoryDialogBase
Now Split into two finer-grained sibling tasks below before implementation started; no code changes.
Waiting on Nothing.
Next Pick up Codegen per-entity history field mapper first.

Acceptance

Plan

(Implementation strategy. Written when work starts; key decisions are distilled into the parent story's * Decisions at close, but the plan itself stays — it is the historical record of what we did.)

Notes

Test Scenarios

Manual QA scenarios (scaffolded via compass add test_scenario, run through the QA Validation Runner panel) that verify this task. Link new ones here as they're created; the scenario doc itself links back via its "Verifies task" field.

Result

Split into two finer-grained sibling tasks, mirroring the earlier 6-way split of template-rollout: this task bundled two genuinely separable pieces (per-field-type mapping logic vs. subject/registry wiring), too large to track as one unit of work.

  1. Codegen per-entity history field mapper
  2. Generic history.v1.get NATS subject and server-side dispatch registry — blocked on 1.

This task closes with no code changes; its Plan and Acceptance were distributed into the two tasks above.
