Story: Trace a process run and the trade groups it creates
Table of Contents
This page documents a story in Sprint 28, carried unfinished from Sprint 27 at close. It captures the goal, current status, acceptance criteria, and the tasks that compose it.
1. Goal
Record one run of a process over a set of trades: its identity, its state machine, the process it is a run of, and the trade groups that carry what the run read and what it wrote. The record is what lets a process be undone or repeated.
2. Status
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| State | ABANDONED |
| Parent sprint | Sprint 28 |
| Now | Nothing. |
| Waiting on | Nothing. |
| Next | Nothing. |
| Last touched | 2026-10-24 |
3. Acceptance
Nothing shipped under this story. Its one finished task only scaffolded the story. The tasks that carry the work moved to the story named in Decisions.
4. Tasks
| Task | State | Start | End | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Scaffold story: Trace a process run and the trade groups it creates | DONE | 2026-10-08 | 2026-10-08 | Story scaffolding rides this task: documents, sprint wiring, and the scaffold PR. Close it before merging that PR. |
5. Decisions
- Closed ABANDONED at sprint 28 close: nothing shipped under this story. The 4 open tasks and the original acceptance moved to Trace a process run and the trade groups it creates — the remaining work in the product backlog inbox.
5.1. The run is modelled against a client process, not in the abstract
Taken 2026-10-08 with the owner. A process run exists so that a process can be undone and repeated, and no process is implemented. Modelling a run before a process has a client would fix its shape against nothing. This story therefore waits on one process with a real client, the funding roll or the spot sweep, and the first task after the scaffold is to settle the run against that pilot.
The trade set model settled on 2026-10-08 supplies what the run needs and did not have: the trade group, its membership, the read and write sets, and the roles the process declares. That work is in Trade sets and trade groups.
The shape is written down in Trace a process run over a set of trades. It is roughly the shape and not yet a design.
