 **By:** Kpa-clawbot (via Copilot)  
 **Decision:** All frontend/backend interfaces get protobuf definitions as the single source of truth. Go generates structs with JSON tags from protos. Node stays unchanged — protos are derived FROM Node's current JSON shapes. Proto definitions MUST use inheritance and composition (no repeating field definitions). Data flow: SQLite → proto struct → JSON. JSON blobs from DB deserialize against proto structs for validation.  
 **Rationale:** Eliminates the endless parity bugs between Node and Go. Compiler-enforced contract instead of agent-verified field matching. DRY — shared message types composed, not duplicated.

+**By:** Kpa-clawbot (via Copilot)  
+**Decision:** CI pipeline's proto fixture capture should run against prod (the stable reference), not staging. Staging may have broken code. Prod is the known-good baseline for contract validation.  
+**Rationale:** Ensures proto contracts are validated against production behavior, not potentially broken staging code.

+# Spawn Batch — Proto Validation & Typed API Contracts
+
+**Timestamp:** 2026-03-27T22:19:53Z  
+**Scribe:** Orchestration Log Entry  
+**Scope:** Go server proto validation, fixture capture, CI architecture
+
+---
+
+## Team Accomplishments (Spawn Manifest)
+
+### Hicks (Backend Dev)
+- **Fixed #163:** 15 API violations — type mismatches in route handlers
+- **Fixed #164:** 24 proto mismatches — shape inconsistencies between Node.js JSON and Go structs
+- **Delivered:** `types.go` — 80 typed Go structs replacing all `map[string]interface{}` in route handlers
+- **Impact:** Proto contract fully wired into Go server; compiler now enforces API response shapes
+
+### Bishop (Proto Validation)
+- **Validated:** All proto definitions (0 errors)
+- **Captured:** 33 Node.js API response fixtures from production
+- **Status:** Baseline fixture set ready for CI contract testing
+
+### Hudson (CI/DevOps)
+- **Implemented:** CI proto validation pipeline with all 33 fixtures
+- **Fixed:** Fixture capture source changed from staging → production
+- **Improved:** CI split into parallel tracks (backend tests, frontend tests, proto validation)
+- **Impact:** Proto contracts now validated against prod on every push
+
+### Coordinator
+- **Fixed:** Fixture capture source (staging → prod)
+- **Verified:** Data integrity of captured fixtures
+
+---
+
+## Key Milestone: Proto-Enforced API Contract
+
+**Status:** ✅ Complete
+
+Go server now has:
+1. Full type safety (80 structs replacing all `map[string]interface{}`)
+2. Proto definitions as single source of truth
+3. Compiler-enforced JSON field matching (no more mismatches)
+4. CI validation on every push (all 33 fixtures + 0 errors)
+
+**What Changed:**
+- All route handlers return typed structs (proto-derived)
+- Response shapes match Node.js JSON exactly
+- Any shape mismatch caught at compile time, not test time
+
+**Frontend Impact:** None — JSON shapes unchanged, frontend code continues unchanged.
