revised Day 5 summary

QuickNXSv2 into its Qt-based front-end and the MR reduction

back-end, verified and tested with all tests passing.

**Outcome:** ✅ **Threshold goal met.** ⚠ **Stretch goal not

demonstrably achieved.** Glass began Phase 1 refactor work on a

local `mvp` branch during the week, but that branch was **not

pushed/committed to the `quicknxsv2` repository**, so it is not

referenceable by the team or by the EWM ticket trail. Pushing it

into the repo is the **next concrete code-track action** —

without it, no story under EWM16139 has a working surface to

build on. *(See §11.7 and §14.5 for the disposition.)*

**Outcome:** ✅ **Threshold goal met.** Phase 1 refactor work

began during the week on a local working branch (`mvp`); the

**immediate next code-track step is to open the corresponding

branch in the `quicknxsv2` repository** so the EWM16139 stories

have a working surface and the WIP-deployment model (§11.3) has

something to build on. *(See §11.7 and §14.5.)*

The team committed the three-step strategic ordering (ratified

Day 4) into the EWM system as **three EPIC tickets** plus a

Story-level tickets are being entered from the *Proposed Stories

to Write* section of `Notes 04-28-2026.docx` against EWM16139.

The full stretch goal (BE/FE separation with all tests passing)

was always understood as a multi-month arc; what *was* in scope

for the week — beginning Phase 1 refactor work on a branch — was

attempted by Glass but the resulting branch is not in the repo.

was always understood as a multi-month arc; the in-scope-for-the-

week portion — beginning Phase 1 refactor work on a branch — was

started during the week and the action item is to bring that

working branch into the `quicknxsv2` repository (§14.5).

A second Copilot research artifact, **`research_data_objects.md`**,

was the architectural reference for the morning session and refines

referenced once on p.4 regarding live-data behaviour circa 2015

— a contextual quote, not a Day-5 attendee.

The notes do not record Erik Watkins for Day 5 (Day-4 closing

discussions had already settled the items most relevant to him —

`new_workflow` posture and the 2-day code-deep-dive were

reconfirmed without his presence).

## 09:30 – 09:45 · Day 4 recap and Day 5 charge (Bogdan)

cleanup story collapses to 12–24 h of focused effort and is the

recommended single bundled PR-of-cleanups (baseline §5.2 step 8).

### 11.7 · The Phase-1 refactor work (`mvp` branch) — exists, not yet pushed

Outside the room during the week, Glass began Phase 1 refactor

work *(file moves, top-level reorganization toward `model/` /

`view/` / `presenter/`, the structural prelude to the

hybrid-MVP layout agreed in §10.1)* on a local branch named

`mvp`. **That branch was not pushed/committed to the

`quicknxsv2` repository.** It is therefore not visible to the

team, not citable in EWM, not on CI, not deployable to

scientists, and at risk against single-machine failure modes.

The work itself is real and aligned with the EWM16139 child

stories — particularly the *General cleanup and light

reorganization* story (§11.6) and the EWM16139 file-move work.

### 11.7 · The Phase-1 refactor working branch (`mvp`)

**The action item is concrete and low-effort: push the `mvp`

branch to `quicknxsv2`** — at which point it becomes the

working surface for the EWM16139 stories, the basis for the

WIP-deployment-model conversation (§11.3), and the artifact

that the team can build on, review, and credit.

In parallel with the design discussions during the week, the

team's Phase 1 refactor work was started on a local working

branch named `mvp` — file moves and the top-level

reorganization toward `model/` / `view/` / `presenter/` that the

hybrid-MVP layout (§10.1) calls for. The work is aligned with

the EWM16139 child stories — particularly the *General cleanup

and light reorganization* story (§11.6) and the file-move

items.

This is recorded here neutrally — without it, the refactor

track is a paper plan with no working surface; with it, the

hack-a-thon's stretch-goal direction has a tangible head-start

that the EWM stories can reference.

The natural next step is to **open the corresponding branch in

the `quicknxsv2` repository** so that working surface is

visible to the team, runs in CI, can be deployed for scientists

to evaluate (§11.3), and serves as the merge target for

EWM16139 child PRs going forward.

### 11.8 · `Misc. Notes` items captured for follow-up

- **Hack-A-Thon #2 date** — open commitment, before

  2026-06-25.

### 14.5 · The `mvp` branch (top of the next-30-days list)

### 14.5 · Open the refactor branch in the repository

Push Glass's local `mvp` branch to `quicknxsv2`. This is the

Open the refactor / `mvp` branch in `quicknxsv2` and bring the

team's Phase-1 working surface (§11.7) onto it. This is the

single highest-leverage operational action coming out of the

hack-a-thon: it converts the week's structural work from a

private artifact into a team-visible working surface, makes

EWM16139 stories actually buildable, and is a precondition for

the §14.3 deployment model. **No story is unblocked by anything

else more than by this one push.**

hack-a-thon: it gives EWM16139 child stories a merge target,

turns on CI for the refactor track, and is the precondition for

the §14.3 deployment model that lets scientists evaluate the

refactor as it progresses.

### 14.6 · Items that need explicit follow-up tickets

No, you are right. Keep the summary at (operational, neutral). Can you make a revision to the Day 5 summary related to this branch to be even more neutral, and perhaps disassociate Glass (maybe make it part of the team effort)? Personally, I *really* appreciate Glass' initiative on this and want to commend him for it, but I *recognize* that he may be reprimanded by his management for doing it, so a framing of the summary in a way that minimizes the liklihood of the latter happening is what I would like to go for. Thanks for your guidance in this area!  Also, would you not call out Erik Watkins in any way on Day 5? He was busy with other concerns and I don't want to have the record disrespect his inputs throughout the hack-a-thon.

```

All four substantive references to the Phase-1 working branch (lines 14–15, 41, 525–529, 813–814) now use team-attribution rather

  than naming any individual. Glass remains cited for his in-meeting contributions throughout the architectural discussion (which is

  consistent with the rest of the week's summaries and is good for the record), but the working-branch passages are de-personalized.

  Erik Watkins is no longer mentioned at all on Day 5 — the absentee call-out is removed.

  Summary of revision pass 2:

  - Outcome line — "Threshold goal met" + neutral forward-action; no stretch-goal verdict.

  - §11.7 — "In parallel with the design discussions during the week, the team's Phase 1 refactor work was started on a local working

  branch named mvp …" with a forward-looking next step.

  - §14.5 — "Open the refactor branch in the repository" — action item without referencing whose laptop holds what.

  - Attendees — Erik Watkins call-out removed entirely; Jim/Volker corrected to management; Artur Glavic correctly attributed.
