📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe pull request adds a design specification for Orbit’s notification inbox overhaul. It defines conversation-based inbox state, idempotent ingestion, durable Slack and email delivery, GitHub head-specific CI handling, API and realtime contracts, phased migration, authorization, observability, and testing. ChangesNotification inbox overhaul
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The proposed notification overhaul changes how events are retained, authorized, grouped, and delivered. Until the documented delivery-retention, authorization-race, GitHub identity, commit-mapping, and Slack retry contracts are clarified, implementations could lose notifications, expose revoked recipients, merge separate checks, misattribute status updates, or duplicate messages; the design is not ready to merge without resolution or explicit owner acceptance.

In `@docs/superpowers/specs/2026-09-01-notification-inbox-overhaul-design.md`:
- Around line 182-184: Update the notification source-payload retention design
so pruning is allowed only after every related delivery is terminal or
reconciled, or ensure enqueueing stores a validated immutable payload in each
delivery before pruning. Preserve the source identity tombstone and add a
delayed-worker test covering pending or retryable deliveries whose processing
occurs after the pruning window.
- Around line 471-473: Update live webhook/domain-mutation ingestion so
recipient authorization is rechecked transactionally after acquiring the
canonical ACL or stable parent-scope policy lock, matching the backfill policy
in the referenced flow. Ensure recipient inserts reflect the authorization state
at commit time, and add tests covering concurrent grant and revoke races.
- Around line 452-457: Define provider_name explicitly as the check-run name
from check_run.name, including its exact normalization and identity semantics,
so distinct checks from one app remain separate. Update the check-run key and
related specification language accordingly, and add coverage for distinct check
names from one app plus reruns with changed check-run IDs.
- Around line 535-536: Update the status payload normalization described in the
notification event handling to map status.sha explicitly to the normalized
head_sha field, while retaining head_sha mappings for check run, check suite,
and workflow run payloads.
- Around line 609-613: The Slack retry flow must not rely on client_msg_id as an
undocumented chat.postMessage argument. Update the design around the provider
request identity and worker retry behavior to specify a Slack-supported
idempotency or reconciliation mechanism; if none exists, reconcile the original
request before retrying and preserve the delivery as ambiguous when confirmation
is unavailable.

Production release preflightRechecked PR head The Vercel deployment failure is the database compatibility guard: the configured database is missing the notification schema. The guard was not bypassed. Production was inspected read-only. Its 18-entry migration ledger matches the committed prefix exactly. A private application-data and migration-ledger backup was taken and successfully restored locally, with the required pg_trgm extension, into PostgreSQL 17 matching production's major version. On that isolated copy:
Production migration, merge and deployment have not occurred yet. The old GitHub/Slack webhook handlers use tokenless claims, so they must be drained during the constraint cutover. A brief integration maintenance window is awaiting confirmation; existing queued deliveries must be preserved and failed GitHub deliveries during the pause replayed afterward. The final deployment link and release result will be recorded after the actual rollout. |
|
Production database release completed successfully after backup and the confirmed integration pause. All nine pending migrations applied; the 27-entry ledger and required schema passed release verification. GitHub CI remains green and all review threads are resolved. The prior Vercel failure was the missing schema, now corrected. Proceeding with the authorized merge and production deployment; providers remain paused until backfill and live verification complete. |

Summary
Completes the notification and inbox overhaul, including the remaining conversation, migration, realtime, Slack and email implementation. Current
main(a93e0799) is merged in5d2b79c9.Screenshots
Local demo data, not production member content.
The repository also contains the matching PR light and document dark captures. Slack delivery was checked with provider-level tests; no production Slack-message screenshot is claimed.
The Slack image renders actual formatter blocks locally with synthetic data. It is not a production Slack screenshot. Messages include Orbit and GitHub/source buttons, a safe bounded excerpt and accessible fallback text. Untrusted comment text cannot automatically trigger workspace mentions.
Verification
5dccd21c: lint, comment/byte policy, types, full unit/integration suite, both browser suites, production build, documentation build, links, schema drift and CodeQL.5d2b79c9: full unit/integration suite, both browser suites, production build and standalone smoke test, lint/types/policy, migrations/schema, documentation, links and CodeQL all passed. CI run.bun run verifyon5d2b79c9: macOS Bun 1.3.14 terminated with SIGTRAP during the web suite atline-plot.test.tsx. The same file passes separately (16 tests, 77 assertions). This is not recorded as a passing full local run, and isolated results do not replace normal Linux CI.Review gate
Published ready for review at the maintainer's request. CodeRabbit is excluded from the review gate as requested. All existing review threads are resolved; the current code was reviewed directly and fixes have regression coverage. Greptile's previous-head review covered all 151 files and added no findings; its new run reported a file-count limit, which is not counted as a completed review. Fresh merged-head CI passed, including both browser suites and the full unit/integration suite.
Final manual assessment:
Rollout
Implementation is complete; deployment is a separate controlled step. No production database was changed and no messages were sent to production users during this review.
Current deployment blocker
The Vercel preview for
5d2b79c9failed its database compatibility guard. Its configured database lacks the notification conversation/source/delivery schema introduced by this PR. The log explicitly refuses to build against an incompatible database and requiresbun run db:releasefirst. This is separate from the successful GitHub build and browser checks. No guard was disabled and no remote database was migrated. The preview needs an explicitly isolated database and the tested migration chain before redeployment and live provider validation. The PR is ready for review, not yet deployment-ready.bun run db:releaseon the direct target connection.Recreate disposable databases using earlier draft migration numbering; do not rewrite a deployed ledger or force a baseline to conceal a mismatch.
