# Project State

> The single live "where are we right now" file. Read this FIRST at the start of any session that touches this repo - don't infer phase or sprint from conversation history. Updated LAST by whichever agent completes the current step, as documented in `AGENTS.md` under "Automated State-Driven Handoff."

**Phase:** 3 - Sprint execution
**Leading agent:** `dev-team`
**Process file:** `process/03_sprint_execution.md`

**Sprint:** 1
**Sprint dates:** 2026-09-08 - 2026-09-11
**Sprint goal:** Prove a thin text-only desktop-to-CLI rendering spine so an operator can select files, launch a job, watch progress, and receive a PDF generated through Debenu from a known XML template.
**Current sprint backlog:** `backlog/sprints/sprint-1.md`

**Next action:** Batches 1 and 2 are Done. The CLI now renders real text-only PDFs through Debenu Quick PDF 10.13 (`code/CLI_CONTRACT.md`, `code/TEMPLATE_FORMAT.md`), verified end-to-end against the 392-row sample CSV (32 tests passing, including one real-DLL integration test). Rendering requires `DEBENU_LICENSE_KEY` at runtime — see `code/CLI_CONTRACT.md`. `dev-team` pulls Batch 3 ("Emit machine-readable progress during render") next. The template-path and UNC-timeout impediments in `logs/impediment_log.md` are still open and unaffected by this batch.

| 1 | Backlog refinement | `product-owner` (+ `dev-team` sizing) | `process/01_backlog_refinement.md` |
| 2 | Sprint planning | `scrum-master` facilitates | `process/02_sprint_planning.md` |
| 3 | Sprint execution | `dev-team` (+ `scrum-master` daily scrum) | `process/03_sprint_execution.md` |
| 4 | Sprint review | `product-owner` leads | `process/04_sprint_review.md` |
| 5 | Sprint retrospective | `scrum-master` leads | `process/05_sprint_retrospective.md` |
| - | Technical debt (continuous) | `qa-tech-debt` | `process/06_technical_debt_management.md` |
| - | Portfolio/release planning (as needed) | `release-planner` | `AGENTS.md` - Multilevel Planning |
| - | Process self-improvement (end of every retro) | `scrum-master` | `process/07_process_improvement.md` |

After phase 5, loop back to phase 1 for the next sprint.

## History

| Date | Phase completed | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 2026-09-04 | 0 - Project onboarding | Seeded project config, Definition of Done, initial epic backlog, and open questions from `Envelope_Report_Generator_Requirements.md`. |
| 2026-09-04 | 1 - Backlog refinement | Refined the top epics into sprint-ready stories, confirmed `C#/.NET 10` as the application stack, and reordered the backlog for the first text-only MVP slice. |
| 2026-09-04 | 2 - Sprint planning | Created Sprint 1 around a conservative desktop-to-CLI text-only rendering spine and recorded the committed backlog in `backlog/sprints/sprint-1.md`. |
| 2026-09-08 | 3 - Sprint execution (in progress) | Held Daily Scrum #1 and turned the sprint backlog into a dependency-ordered execution plan (5 batches) in `backlog/sprints/sprint-1.md`. Still in phase 3 — not a phase transition, just the day's checkpoint. |
