Phase 4 Plan 01: UserContextManager Summary

Per-user project context tracking with atomic persistence, enabling /gsd:use command functionality

Performance

• Duration: 7 min
• Started: 2026-03-11T10:43:13Z
• Completed: 2026-03-11T10:49:44Z
• Tasks: 3
• Files modified: 4

Accomplishments

• UserContext dataclass with to_dict/from_dict methods for serialization
• UserContextManager with load/save, get_current_project, set_current_project, get_recent_projects methods
• Atomic writes with backup rotation (context.json -> context.json.bak)
• Multi-user isolation verified through 20 comprehensive tests
• Exports added to __init__.py for public API

Task Commits

Each task was committed atomically:

1. Task 1-3: UserContextManager tests and implementation - fe7274a (test)
   • Note: Implementation was already done in commit 9bd29a2 as part of 04-02
   • This commit adds the tests that complete the TDD cycle

Plan metadata: (pending)

Files Created/Modified

• src/gsd_openclaw/user_context.py - UserContext dataclass and UserContextManager class (249 lines)
• src/gsd_openclaw/__init__.py - Added UserContext, UserContextManager exports
• tests/conftest.py - Added tmp_users_root and user_context_manager fixtures
• tests/test_user_context.py - Comprehensive test suite (20 tests in 4 test classes)

Decisions Made

• User context stored per-user in ~/gsd-workspaces/.users/{user_id}/context.json
• Recent projects list limited to 5 entries (oldest removed when exceeded)
• Backup fallback on corrupted main file (matches state_manager.py pattern)
• Schema version "1.0" for future compatibility

Deviations from Plan

Auto-fixed Issues

1. [Rule 1 - Bug] Fixed backup fallback test expectation

• Found during: Task 2 (atomic write tests)
• Issue: Test expected backup to exist after first save, but backup only created on subsequent saves
• Fix: Updated test to save twice before corrupting main file, ensuring backup exists
• Files modified: tests/test_user_context.py
• Verification: All 20 tests pass
• Committed in: fe7274a (Task commit)

Out-of-Order Execution

Note: The implementation (user_context.py) was already committed in 9bd29a2 as part of plan 04-02. This plan (04-01) was executed after 04-02, adding the test coverage that should have been written first in TDD fashion. The implementation matches the plan specification exactly.

---

Total deviations: 1 auto-fixed (test logic) Impact on plan: Minor - test fixed to match correct backup rotation behavior

Issues Encountered

• None beyond the test fix noted above

User Setup Required

None - no external service configuration required.

Next Phase Readiness

• UserContextManager ready for use in orchestrator and /gsd:use command handling
• All tests passing, exports available via gsd_openclaw package

Self-Check: PASSED

• user_context.py: FOUND
• test_user_context.py: FOUND
• SUMMARY.md: FOUND
• Commit fe7274a: FOUND
