The CRDT lamport seq is per-author and per-field, not globally monotonic. Replaying by `seq ASC` causes field-update ops (which have low per-field seq counters like 1, 2, 3) to be applied BEFORE the list-insert ops they reference (which have higher per-list seq counters like N for the Nth item ever inserted). The field updates fail with ErrPathMismatch because the target item doesn't exist yet, the field counter is never advanced, and subsequent writes silently lose state. Concretely on 2026-04-09 we observed: post-restart writes were being persisted at seq=1,2,3,4,5,6,7 even though pre-restart seq had reached 492. On the next replay, those low-seq field updates would be applied before their seq=485+ creation ops, silently dropping the updates. This was the load-bearing "why does state keep flapping" bug today. Fix: replay by `rowid ASC` (SQLite insertion order) instead. Rowid preserves the causal order ops were originally applied in, so field updates always come after the item insert they reference. Adds a regression test that constructs the exact scenario: inserts a story (op gets seq=6), updates its stage (op gets seq=1 because field counter starts at 0), persists both ops in causal order, then replays both seq ASC (reproduces the bug — stage update is lost) and rowid ASC (the fix — stage update is preserved).

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.
