Reported issues for Argus Retrieval

Pod holds 12 of 12 problems reported by people outside the maintainer team. Issues filed by the project's own owners, members and collaborators are excluded entirely — a maintainer's release checklist is not a warning to a prospective user.

Implement S3 extraction finalization and retrieval composition

Wayfinder slice

Implement Task 4 / S3 from docs/superpowers/plans/2026-07-27-retrieval-evidence-mechanical-port.md.

Scope:

  • immutable extraction plans/outcomes and closed truth tables
  • privacy-safe bounded attempt traces and durable atomic acceptance
  • separate archive lookup from externally authorized archive creation
  • compose accepted retrieval clusters with proven extraction artifacts
  • preserve temporary narrow retrieval evidence protocol until S7

Acceptance and verification are e

Implement S2 provider batch normalization and private failure evidence

Wayfinder slice

Implement Task 3 / S2 from docs/superpowers/plans/2026-07-27-retrieval-evidence-mechanical-port.md.

Scope:

  • normalize all 14 provider adapters behind immutable evidence batches
  • freeze fixture applicability for success, empty, malformed, auth, exhaustion, policy, timeout, rate limit, and 5xx behavior
  • enforce privacy/bounds, retry/redirect/deadline semantics, typed controls, and extractor fixture compatibility
  • preserve the legacy broker tuple via the temporary adapter

Cut over private homelab production and retire duplicate authorities

Parent

Wayfinder: make Argus a reliable homelab retrieval platform for Maya

What to build

Complete the production transition as one reversible cutover: publish only private Tailscale ingress, move Maya and agent clients to the authoritative homelab stack, prove the accepted paths, and retire every OCI, Mac-production, LAN, and host-worker duplicate.

Acceptance criteria

  • API and MCP Docker backends bind host loopback only; PostgreS

Wayfinder: make Argus stable and competitively optimized without a rewrite

Question

Which Argus documentation surfaces are stale, contradictory, incomplete, or unsafe when compared with the current code, generated/public metadata, deployed homelab runtime, provider profile, HTTP/MCP contracts, PostgreSQL recovery evidence, and release/deployment workflow?

Audit the Argus repository's internal and public-facing documentation, includi

Add AGENTS.md: MCP + HTTP usage contract for agents

AGENTS.md stub committed. Needs: example MCP call patterns for 'topic research' vs 'URL extraction', example POST /api/search payload per mode, and link validation to khamel83/maya docs/CONTEXT-CONTRACT.md.

#58 — Wayfinder: make Argus stable and competitively optimized without a rewrite

Question

Against the current Argus adapters, schemas, fixtures, and live free-path behavior, plus current official provider documentation, which provider and extraction capabilities, fields, error semantics, freshness controls, and evidence signals are missing or stale? Identify the smallest compatibility shims or normalization rules that preserve existi

Expose truthful readiness, runtime identity, and bounded operational evidence

Parent

Wayfinder: make Argus a reliable homelab retrieval platform for Maya

What to build

Give callers and operators truthful answers about whether Argus is live, initialized, ready, or degraded, which exact release is loaded, and which dependencies and capabilities were recently observed—without turning dependency failure into a restart storm or retaining exhaustive logs.

Acceptance criteria

  • Separate liveness, startup, readiness

Make HTTP the sole Argus execution authority and MCP stateless

Parent

Wayfinder: make Argus a reliable homelab retrieval platform for Maya

What to build

Collapse production execution into one deep HTTP module. The API process alone owns the broker, providers, browser, budgets, health transitions, persistence, and Maya dispatcher; MCP becomes a stateless protocol adapter over authenticated internal HTTP.

Acceptance criteria

  • Only the API process constructs the production SearchBroker or owns p

Expose build-research-pack as MCP tool

Wrap the existing build-research-pack workflow as an MCP tool so agents in harnesses can trigger pack creation and pipe output to Maya POST /ingest/file via Hermes without a shell escape.
