Chief Journal — 2026-05-28 (Corporate Recap: Genius Console Tenant API Handoff and Node Configuration Contract)

The operating center for 2026-05-28 was the Genius Console Department, where Smart The Coder corrected the tenant-facing integration boundary, stabilized the local migration preview, and turned the tenant flow detail response into a practical configuration contract for downstream tenant UI work.

Executive summary

The day focused on making Genius Console usable from a tenant project without leaking internal admin assumptions.

Captain corrected the core boundary early: tenant projects do not own Genius flow and node source-of-truth data. They configure and query that data through Genius tenant APIs, authenticated with tenant HMAC, while implementing their own UI/server handlers and tenant-side business/runtime endpoints for Genius to call during flow execution.

From that correction, Smart The Coder narrowed the handoff documentation, fixed path guidance, repaired the preview environment guidance, expanded tenant flow detail output, and standardized node configuration data for tenant UI rendering. The most important contract now is that collector fields are represented cleanly through configJson.slotCollection.fields[], with legacy duplicate field arrays stripped from tenant-facing output after conversion.

What shipped in this period

• Corrected tenant project handoff guidance around the Genius integration boundary.
• Documented the tenant API path family under /v1/api/tenants/core/... rather than internal admin endpoints.
• Confirmed preview/webhook path prefix guidance: /v1/..., not /api/v1/....
• Repaired local preview guidance around .env.migration, the DB bridge, and the port 5433 migration database connection.
• Added rich tenant flow detail output for tenant UI work:
  • startEntry
  • ordered nodes[]
  • node configJson
  • node state flags
  • timestamps
  • template metadata.
• Standardized collector node configuration on configJson.slotCollection.fields[].
• Removed duplicate legacy collector field groups from tenant-facing output:
  • args.*
  • slotCollection.requiredFields
  • slotCollection.optionalFields
  • slotCollection.opportunisticFields
  • slotCollection.fieldsPlaceholder.
• Fixed legacy conversion so older configs with only legacy arrays are converted into clean fields[] before duplicate keys are removed.
• Added tenant UI hints for editable node kinds:
  • collector nodes
  • validator nodes
  • tenant request nodes
  • notification nodes.
• Published updated handoff and API contract documentation through the Kanboard documentation surface.

Department reports

Genius Console Department — Smart The Coder

Smart The Coder spent the day tightening the seam between Genius Console and tenant-owned projects.

The first correction was conceptual but important: tenant projects should not be told to use internal Genius admin endpoints or to treat Genius data as tenant-local source of truth. The handoff was rewritten so tenants call the tenant API surface under /v1/api/tenants/core/..., while Genius remains responsible for storing flows, nodes, and catalog definitions.

The second correction was operational. The preview environment must run from .env.migration through the gc-db-bridge on local port 5433, and the working base URL for the day was http://192.168.64.3:8010 with health at /v1/health.

The third and largest workstream was tenant UI configuration. Flow detail now returns enough structured node information for a tenant editor to render and edit configured nodes without guessing from internal defaults. Collector fields were reduced to one canonical public shape, slotCollection.fields[], and validation/request/notification nodes were given their own explicit UI hint sections.

Status: 🟡 In build / review. The tenant-facing contract is materially cleaner and published, but Captain should still treat this as an integration handoff under active review until the tenant UI renders against it.

Chief Operations

Chief Operations kept the wrap in the main company lane rather than a project lane, following Captain’s earlier boundary correction. The Genius Console lane log contains the detailed engineering breadcrumbs; this journal records the company-level outcome.

Status: 🟢 Company wrap completed from main-session context.

Verification evidence

• Genius Console tenant tests passed: 4 passed.
• Genius Console tenant flow target tests passed: 8 passed with warnings.
• Genius Console targeted Ruff check passed.
• Dev2 tenant/default-flow tests passed: 7 passed.
• Dev2 targeted Ruff check passed.
• Preview health check returned 200 at http://192.168.64.3:8010/v1/health.
• Live preview smoke confirmed legacy config converts to clean slotCollection.fields[].
• Published API contract returned 200.
• Published board JSON returned 200 with updatedAt=2026-05-28T22:15:00Z.
• Latest published documentation surface: https://c29f9761.kanboard-6lt.pages.dev.

Risks and open work

• Tenant UI rendering has not yet been fully proven against the new clean node config contract.
• Approval and AI-generation node examples may still need to be added once the tenant team begins rendering the first flow editor pass.
• Current endpoint/docs changes should be committed and deployed once Captain confirms the contract shape is stable.
• The preview remains dependent on correct .env.migration and DB bridge setup; wrong environment loading can still produce misleading auth or database failures.

Next operating step

Resume tomorrow with tenant-side endpoint/UI integration review from the clean node configuration contract. If the tenant editor needs additional schema help, add examples for approval and AI-generation nodes only after the first rendering pass shows what is actually missing.

The day closes with Genius Console’s tenant handoff corrected, the node configuration surface simplified, and the next integration step clearly bounded around tenant UI proof rather than more speculative documentation.
