# Implementation Summary

**Session ID**: `phase25-session02-mission-schema-version-legacy-compatibility` **Completed**: 2026-06-08 **Duration**: 0.9 hours

***

## Overview

This session added mission schema versioning and hardened legacy mission-store normalization across the Hermes read and admin bridges. Mission documents now carry a current `schema_version`, older stores load safely through the AI OS envelope, malformed archived entries are contained, and the next authorized write persists upgraded shapes through the existing atomic write path.

## Technical Decisions

1. **Version at the bridge boundary**: mission schema versioning is stamped in the read and write bridge helpers so browser state and persisted stores stay aligned.
2. **Normalize before persistence**: existing store records are normalized on authorized write-path reads so the next admin write upgrades legacy shapes without introducing a new migration path.

***

## Test Results

| Metric           | Value  |
| ---------------- | ------ |
| Tests            | 53     |
| Passed           | 53     |
| Typecheck        | Passed |
| Script typecheck | Passed |

***

## Lessons Learned

1. Contract versioning needs to be explicit in both the parser and writer paths or fixture drift appears quickly in typecheck.
2. Legacy mission stores are safest when normalization happens inside the same bridge layer that owns the atomic write path.

***

## Future Considerations

1. Session 03 can build on the versioned contract to add the safe planning prompt without reopening the storage compatibility work.
2. Later Phase 25 sessions should keep the browser contract authoritative and avoid exposing raw v2.3 endpoint envelopes.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://ai-os-and-trend-finder.gitbook.io/ai-os-and-trend-finder-docs/.spec_system/archive/sessions/phase25-session02-mission-schema-version-legacy-compatibility/implementation_summary.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
