My First Local LLM

Provenance

The Clean Room Strategy (synt-mx)

• Objective: To build a "Reference Implementation" of the Syntax Method that is free of legacy hardcoded debt.
• Why now? The Axios incident proved that dependencies must be minimal. The SQLite pivot proves that infrastructure must be portable.
• The Goal: A "Bicycle" version of the telemetry system that runs anywhere with a single .db file.

Project Milestone: synt-mx Scaffold Complete (4/2/2026)

• The Shift: Formalized the separation of Domain (The Logic) from Infrastructure (The Tools).
• The Result: A "Zero-Debt" repository that serves as the reference implementation for The Syntax Method.
• The Goal: By WordCamp, this repo will be the "Downloadable Starter Kit" for developers to reclaim their own context.

Notes on WAL Mode for SQLite3:

Progress Notes 4/3/26:

• Ingestion: The CLI (or WordPress) sends a POST to /v1/entries/engineering.
• The Bouncer (Zod): The controller validates the fields (Project, Scope, etc.).
• The Port: The controller calls entryRepository.createEngineeringLog(). It doesn't know how the data is saved.
• The Adapter (SQLite): The SqliteEntryRepository receives the call, stringifies the tags into JSON, and writes to synt-mx.db using WAL mode.
• The Feedback: The server returns 201 Created.
