sighelp.go : GPT-Assistable Semantic Outline

This file provides non-functional symbolic structure for the corresponding .go file (e.g. init.go), optimized for:

• GPT parsing and assistance
• IDE symbol navigation (LSP)
• Type-checking to detect drift
• Readable overview for human developers

Each sighelp_XXX() function:

• Mirrors a real function (e.g. InitRabbitMQ)
• Calls it with placeholder arguments
• Discards the result to avoid side effects
• Includes structured GPT-readable comments in the form // gpt:<tag>: …

This allows both humans and GPT tools to:

• See what functions exist and what they do
• Understand return types and call relations
• Navigate codebases via structure, not prose

Example

  // gpt:flowinfo: InitMinIOArtifactStore returns a store configured via env vars
  func sighelp_InitMinIOArtifactStore() {
      var s artifactstore.Store
      var err error
      s, err = InitMinIOArtifactStore()
      _ = s
      _ = err
  }

Style Guidelines

• Always use valid, compilable Go.
• Maintain one sighelp_ per actual function.
• Add // gpt: comments to express intent or relationships.
• Avoid runtime logic — this file is for structure, not execution.

GPT-Assisted Spec → Code Change Workflow

To reduce time spent mapping high-level spec changes to actual code edits, we use this workflow to integrate GPT into the loop. This allows structured delegation of search, mapping, and edit proposal.

Flow

1. You declare a spec change as a structured Org block (see below).

2. GPT uses sighelp.go (and optionally the real code) to:

   • Identify affected functions
   • Propose an edit plan
   • Track and validate type-level constraints
3. You confirm the plan or adjust scope.
4. GPT writes candidate diffs or summaries for manual patching.

Example Change Request

  * Change: Make artifact store initialization async with retry
  * Affects: InitMinIOArtifactStore, InitMinIOCodeQLDatabaseStore
  * Required: non-blocking behavior, robust to transient failures
  * Notes: Must be compatible with sighelp stubs and InitX signatures

GPT Responsibilities

• Match affected symbols from sighelp_XXX() stubs

• Generate patch plan as Org list:

    * deploy/init.go
      - InitMinIOArtifactStore: wrap NewMinIOArtifactStore in goroutine, add retry
      - InitMinIOCodeQLDatabaseStore: apply same pattern

• Output scoped diffs, patch instructions, or replacement code

Optional Enhancements

• GPT can update sighelp.go alongside implementation changes
• You may keep change.org files in the repo to track historical refactor plans
• Each change block can include tags like :spec:async:init: for search

Summary

This structure treats GPT as a symbolic reasoning assistant that uses sighelp.go as its internal call graph. It allows high-level human changes to be mapped, tracked, and diffed without manual bottom-up spelunking.

This flow is especially effective when multiple entry points share structural patterns (e.g. InitXXX for services).
