Adds the markdown shadows for stories filed during today's stress-test session, plus a SESSION_HANDOFF document for picking up the work in a future session. New stories (510-521): 510 — bug: stale 1_backlog filesystem shadows get re-promoted by timers 511 — bug: CRDT lamport clock resets to 1 on restart (FIXED in99557635) 512 — story: migrate chat commands from filesystem lookup to CRDT/DB 513 — story: startup reconcile pass for state-machine drift detection 514 — story: delete_story should do a full cleanup 515 — story: debug MCP tool to dump in-memory CRDT state 516 — story: update_story.description should create the section if missing 517 — story: remove filesystem-shadow fallback paths from lifecycle.rs 518 — story: apply_and_persist should log persist_tx send failures 519 — story: mergemaster should fail loudly on no-op merges (mostly obviated by Stage::Merge { commits_ahead: NonZeroU32 } in 520) 520 — story: typed pipeline state machine in Rust (sketches added inf7d69cde) 521 — story: MCP capability to write a CRDT tombstone for a story Refactor 436 (unify story stuck states) is marked superseded by 520 via front_matter — its functionality is now part of the Stage::Archived { reason: ArchiveReason } enum in story 520's design. The SESSION_HANDOFF_2026-04-09.md document captures: the four-state-machine drift situation that motivated story 520, today's bug fixes (502 + 511), the off-leash rogue commit incident (forensic tag rogue-commit-2026-04-09-ac9f3ecf preserved), the recommended next-session priority order, and useful diagnostic recipes.

Huskies
A story-driven development server that manages work items, spawns coding agents, and runs them through a pipeline from backlog to done. Ships as a single Rust binary with an embedded React frontend.
Getting started with Claude Code
-
Download the huskies binary (or build from source — see below).
-
From your project directory, scaffold and start the server:
huskies init --port 3000
This creates a .huskies/ directory with the pipeline structure, project.toml, and .mcp.json. The .mcp.json file lets Claude Code discover huskies' MCP tools automatically.
Huskies also ships an embedded React frontend. Once the server is running, open http://localhost:3000 to see the pipeline board, agent status, and chat interface.
-
Open a Claude Code session in the same project directory, or visit http://localhost:3000/.
-
Tell Claude: "help me set up this project with huskies." Claude will walk you through the setup wizard — generating project context, tech stack docs, and test/release scripts. Review each step and confirm or ask to retry.
Once setup is complete, Claude can create stories, start agents, check status, and manage the full pipeline via MCP tools — no commands to memorize.
Chat transports
Huskies can be controlled via bot commands in Matrix, WhatsApp, and Slack. Configure a transport in .huskies/bot.toml — see the example files:
.huskies/bot.toml.matrix.example.huskies/bot.toml.whatsapp-meta.example.huskies/bot.toml.whatsapp-twilio.example.huskies/bot.toml.slack.example
Prerequisites for building
- Rust (2024 edition)
- Node.js and npm
- Docker (for Linux cross-compilation and container deployment)
cross(cargo install cross) optional, for Linux static builds. Only needed if you are building for a different architecture, e.g. if you want to build a Linux binary from a Mac.
You only need these installed if you want to build Huskies yourself. Alternately, you can just download and run the huskies binary for your system from https://code.crashlabs.io/crashlabs/huskies/releases
Building for production
cargo build --release
The release binary embeds the frontend via rust-embed. Output: target/release/huskies.
For a static Linux binary (musl, zero dynamic deps):
cross build --release --target x86_64-unknown-linux-musl
Docker:
script/docker_rebuild
# or
script/docker_restart
Running in development
# Run tests
script/test
# Run the server
cargo run -- --port 3000
# In another terminal, run the frontend dev server
cd frontend && npm install && npm run dev
Configuration lives in .huskies/project.toml. See .huskies/bot.toml.*.example for transport setup.
Releasing
Requires a Gitea API token in .env (GITEA_TOKEN=your_token).
script/release 0.7.1
This bumps version in Cargo.toml and package.json, builds macOS arm64 and Linux amd64 binaries, tags the repo, and publishes a Gitea release with changelog and binaries attached.
