Epic 6, Story 7, Task 101: Update Kanban Workflow (UKW) - Perpetual Task

Status: IN PROGRESS (Perpetual)
Priority: HIGH
Task ID: E6:S07:T101
Last updated: 2026-04-18 (RW E6:S07:T101+45 — --art; UKW staging + perpetual Kanban release; SemVer v0.4.742+45)
Started: 2025-12-18
Completed: N/A (Perpetual task - never completes)
Version: v0.6.7.101+45

Task Type: Perpetual Maintenance
Build Warning Suppression: true
Explanation: This task represents ongoing kanban documentation synchronization work. High BUILD numbers are expected and valid.

Progress: RW 2026-04-18 (v0.6.7.101+45, --art): Published UKW-staged Kanban + fbuboard reconciliation under perpetual T101 anchor (version adoption from E7:S06:T18 traceability). UKW 2026-04-18: Archived UXR-007 from fbuboard.md to fr-br-uxr-completed.md (E7:S06:T18 closure); set UXR-007 doc Status: COMPLETE; aligned BR-066 fbuboard row to OPEN + contract-shipped note; synced main board T101 metadata; retained prior MoSCOW prune (E7:S06:T18, E2:S15:T01 → kanban-completed.md). RW -d 2026-04-13 (v0.6.7.101+44): Released UKW-staged Kanban docs with perpetual attribution. UKW 2026-04-13: Added missing E6:S07:T101 row to main board Ongoing; normalized board/fbuboard Last modified stamps; refreshed fbuboard version context after RW E5:S01:T46 v0.5.1.46+6; aligned FR-046 active row to IN PROGRESS with implementation note. Prior: RW -k 2026-04-08 (v0.6.7.101+43): Normalized BR-061 representation on fbuboard.md by adding task cross-wire for RW BR-061 and disambiguated row for SemVer/task_touch BR-061. Prior: RW -k 2026-04-08 (v0.6.7.101+42) reconciled board metadata/stats drift; RW 2026-04-08 (v0.6.7.101+41) closed E7:S06:T03 Kanban status drift.
Code: E6S07T101

Note: This task was migrated from T08 to T101 as part of the repository story abstract space resolution (E9:S01:T08). Perpetual tasks now use 3-digit task numbers (T101+) to clearly differentiate from regular tasks (T01-T99).

Task ID​

Format: E{epic}:S{story}:T{task} Value: E6:S07:T101

Overview​

This is a perpetual task dedicated to the Update Kanban Workflow (UKW). All UKW-triggered Release Workflows (RW) are attributed to this task.

Purpose:

  • Provide proper version attribution for UKW synchronization runs

  • Ensure semantic correctness (BUILD number = UKW run count, not feature iteration)

  • Enable build number warning suppression (high BUILD numbers expected)

  • Maintain clear traceability of kanban documentation synchronization work

Why Perpetual:

  • UKW is an ongoing maintenance/synchronization workflow

  • Runs periodically to keep kanban docs in sync

  • Not tied to any single feature completion

  • Never "completes" - it's continuous maintenance work

Problem Statement​

Issue: UKW releases were being incorrectly attributed to arbitrary tasks (e.g., T07) because:

  • UKW updates ALL kanban documents across the hierarchy

  • Attribution to any single feature task is arbitrary

  • BUILD number semantics break (UKW runs ≠ task iterations)

  • No mechanism for perpetual maintenance tasks

Solution: Create dedicated perpetual task for UKW work:

  • All UKW-triggered RWs use T101 (perpetual task, 3-digit)

  • BUILD number = UKW synchronization run count

  • Clear attribution and traceability

  • Proper semantic meaning

Approach​

Task Structure​

Perpetual Task Pattern:

  • Status: IN PROGRESS (never changes to COMPLETE)

  • BUILD number increments with each UKW run

  • High build numbers expected and valid

  • Clear perpetual task identification (3-digit T101+)

RW Attribution Logic​

When UKW triggers RW:

  1. Agent detects UKW context (user ran "UKW" then "RW")

  2. Automatically attributes release to T101 (perpetual task, 3-digit)

  3. Increments BUILD number (same task, increment BUILD)

  4. Suppresses build number warnings (perpetual task flag)

Version Pattern​

  • First UKW release: v0.6.7.101+1
  • Subsequent UKW releases: v0.6.7.101+2, v0.6.7.101+3, etc.
  • BUILD number represents UKW synchronization run count
  • Note: Task migrated from T08 to T101 as part of repository story abstract space resolution (E9:S01:T08)

Acceptance Criteria​

  • Perpetual task document created ✅ COMPLETE (v0.6.7.101+0, migrated from v0.6.6.8+0)
  • RW logic updated to detect UKW context and auto-attribute to T101 ✅ COMPLETE (v0.6.7.101+1, migrated from v0.6.6.8+1)
  • RW logic updated to suppress build number warnings for perpetual tasks ✅ COMPLETE (v0.6.7.101+1, migrated from v0.6.6.8+1)
  • Documentation updated (RW guide, versioning policy) ✅ COMPLETE (v0.6.7.101+2, migrated from v0.6.6.8+2 - both local and packaged)
  • First UKW-triggered RW uses T101 (v0.6.7.101+1, migrated from v0.6.6.8+1) ✅ COMPLETE
  • Task migrated from T08 to T101 (E9:S01:T08) ✅ COMPLETE (v0.6.7.101+21, migrated from v0.6.6.8+21)
