Task: Remove the committed session cookie
Table of Contents
This page documents a task in the Rework the market data feeds into a market data service with adapters — the remaining work story. It captures the goal, current status, acceptance, and any notes or results.
1. Goal
The cookie jar is out of the tree and out of the ignore list's reach.
2. Status
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| State | DONE |
| Parent story | Rework the market data feeds into a market data service with adapters — the remaining work |
| Now | Nothing. |
| Waiting on | Nothing. |
| Next | Nothing. |
| Last touched | 2026-10-31 |
3. Acceptance
- build/cj.txt is untracked and ignored.
- The session it holds is revoked.
4. 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.)
5. Measurements
Every number this task claims about a tree, with the command that produced it
and the commit it was measured at. A number without both is not a measurement,
because a clean-up record describes a tree and trunk moves under a branch: a
consumer count, a gate's component count and a suite's size all change with no
code changing, and the reader of a bare number cannot tell which tree it came
from. Where the raw output matters, put it in an evidence/ file beside the
task and name that file in the Command column.

10. Result
The curl cookie jar is out of the tree and ignored.
- build/cj.txt was tracked and held a live session token; it is removed and /build/cj.txt is ignored, with the reason stated in .gitignore.
- The token is still in the repository history; the session it holds must be revoked by signing the account out or rotating its password, and a clean history would need a rewrite, which is a separate decision.
