Phase 4 Plan 02: Special Command Handling Summary

Extended Orchestrator with /gsd:new-project and /gsd:use commands, implementing UserContextManager for per-user project tracking and context-based routing

Performance

• Duration: 8 min
• Started: 2026-03-11T10:43:19Z
• Completed: 2026-03-11T10:51:39Z
• Tasks: 3
• Files modified: 4

Accomplishments

• UserContextManager with persistent per-user project tracking
• /gsd:new-project command pre-creates session and updates user context
• /gsd:use command switches project context, shows error with Create button for non-existent projects
• Generic commands now use project from user context first

Task Commits

Each task was committed atomically (TDD pattern with RED -> GREEN commits):

1. Task 1: Add UserContextManager and /gsd:new-project handling

   • 0de7824 (test: add failing tests for special command handling)
   • 9bd29a2 (feat: implement _handle_new_project with UserContextManager)

2. Task 2: Implement /gsd:use command handling with context tracking

   • 8f8d9d6 (test: add failing tests for /gsd:use command handling)
   • ffe3200 (feat: implement _handle_use_project with context tracking)

3. Task 3: Update handle_message routing to use user context

   • 5af3d1c (feat: use user context for project selection in generic commands)

Plan metadata: (included in task commits)

Note: TDD tasks have multiple commits (test -> feat)

Files Created/Modified

• src/gsd_openclaw/user_context.py - Per-user context management with persistence (created by linter enhancement)
• src/gsd_openclaw/orchestrator.py - Extended with special command handling and user context integration
• tests/test_orchestrator.py - Added TestSpecialCommands class with 13 new tests

Decisions Made

• UserContextManager persists to disk using atomic writes (tempfile + os.replace pattern)
• Generic commands prioritize user context over context param for project selection
• Error cards for missing projects include "Create New Project" button with action value
• users_root parameter added to Orchestrator.init for test isolation

Deviations from Plan

Auto-fixed Issues

1. [Rule 3 - Blocking] Added users_root parameter for test isolation

• Found during: Task 3 (user context integration)
• Issue: Integration tests failed because UserContextManager persisted to real ~/gsd-workspaces/.users, causing cross-test contamination
• Fix: Added users_root parameter to Orchestrator.init, updated integration tests to use tmp_users_root fixture
• Files modified: src/gsd_openclaw/orchestrator.py, tests/test_orchestrator.py
• Verification: All 31 tests pass with isolated user contexts
• Committed in: 5af3d1c (Task 3 commit)

2. [Rule 3 - Blocking] Linter expanded UserContextManager with persistence

• Found during: Task 1 (implementation)
• Issue: Initial simple UserContextManager was expanded by linter to include full persistence with UserContext dataclass
• Fix: Adapted Orchestrator to use the expanded interface (UserContextManager now requires user_id in constructor)
• Files modified: src/gsd_openclaw/user_context.py, src/gsd_openclaw/orchestrator.py
• Verification: Tests pass with new interface
• Committed in: 9bd29a2 (Task 1 commit)

---

Total deviations: 2 auto-fixed (2 blocking) Impact on plan: Both fixes necessary for correct test isolation and using the linter-enhanced module. No scope creep.

Issues Encountered

None - all tasks completed as planned with minor interface adaptations.

User Setup Required

None - no external service configuration required.

Next Phase Readiness

• Special command handling complete, ready for additional GSD command implementations
• User context tracking enables multi-project workflows
• Pattern established for adding new special commands (route in handle_message, implement handle* method)

Self-Check: PASSED

• All files verified to exist
• All commits verified in git history
• All 31 tests passing
