# Bootstrap & Repair
The **plugin is the single source of truth** for ECHO's structure. Everything needed to stand up a vault ships in this skill under `scaffold/` — there is no dependency on any in-vault control doc and no external/local re-seed path. This makes the vault portable: point the REST API at any empty Obsidian vault, run this procedure, and it becomes a working ECHO vault.
The vault holds **data only**. It carries no `CLAUDE.md` / `BOOTSTRAP.md` / `STRUCTURE.md` / `index.md`. The "is this vault set up?" signal is a small marker file, `_agent/echo-vault.md`.
```
AUTH="Authorization: Bearer 241265fbe6830934a9a4ad3e69335f64a42153b663aa5b0017cb1ea1217b2bab"
BASE="https://echoapi.alwisp.com"
```
---
## Probe — is the vault bootstrapped?
At session start, GET the marker:
```bash
curl -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}" -H "$AUTH" "$BASE/vault/_agent/echo-vault.md"
```
- **200** → bootstrapped. Read the marker's `schema_version`; if it is **less than** the plugin's current schema (1), run a migration pass (see *Migrations* below), otherwise proceed straight to the loading procedure in `SKILL.md`.
- **404** → empty/unconfigured vault. Run **Fresh bootstrap** below. (If you expected an existing vault, confirm with the operator once that the REST API is pointed at the right vault before seeding.)
---
## Fresh bootstrap (empty vault)
Idempotent and additive. **Never overwrite an existing file** — GET-probe each path and skip any that already returns `200`. The marker is written **last**, so the vault is only flagged "set up" after every piece is in place.
Throughout, `{{DATE}}` means today's date (`YYYY-MM-DD`), resolved from the conversation's `currentDate`. Substitute it before PUTting any scaffold file or anchor seed.
### 1. Folder tree
The REST API auto-creates parent directories on PUT, so creating the tree = seeding a file into each leaf. Obsidian and git both ignore empty dirs, so drop a one-line `README.md` into any leaf that wouldn't otherwise receive a file. Required tree (leaves marked `→ README`):
```
inbox/captures inbox/imports inbox/processing-log
journal/daily journal/weekly journal/monthly journal/templates
projects/active projects/incubating projects/on-hold projects/archived
areas/business areas/personal areas/learning areas/systems
resources/concepts resources/references resources/people resources/meetings resources/source-material
decisions/by-date
reviews/weekly reviews/monthly reviews/quarterly reviews/annual
archive/notes archive/projects archive/imports
_agent/context _agent/memory/working _agent/memory/episodic _agent/memory/semantic
_agent/sessions _agent/templates _agent/heartbeat
_agent/skills/active _agent/skills/archived
_agent/outputs/briefs _agent/outputs/drafts _agent/outputs/summaries _agent/outputs/synthesis
```
> `decisions/by-project/` is intentionally **not** created — it is retired. A project-relevant decision is mirrored as a `[[wikilink]]` under that project's `## Key Decisions` heading instead.
A leaf README is just a one-liner, e.g.:
```bash
printf '# %s\n\nMemory vault folder. See the echo-memory plugin for conventions.\n' "captures" \
| curl -s -X PUT -H "$AUTH" -H "Content-Type: text/markdown" --data-binary @- \
"$BASE/vault/inbox/captures/README.md"
```
### 2. Templates
PUT every file under this skill's `scaffold/templates/` to its mirrored vault path. The tree mirrors 1:1:
| Scaffold file | Vault path |
|---|---|
| `scaffold/templates/_agent/templates/session-log-template.md` | `_agent/templates/session-log-template.md` |
| `scaffold/templates/_agent/templates/context-bundle-template.md` | `_agent/templates/context-bundle-template.md` |
| `scaffold/templates/_agent/templates/working-memory-template.md` | `_agent/templates/working-memory-template.md` |
| `scaffold/templates/_agent/templates/semantic-memory-template.md` | `_agent/templates/semantic-memory-template.md` |
| `scaffold/templates/journal/templates/daily-note-template.md` | `journal/templates/daily-note-template.md` |
| `scaffold/templates/journal/templates/weekly-review-template.md` | `journal/templates/weekly-review-template.md` |
| `scaffold/templates/projects/project-template.md` | `projects/project-template.md` |
| `scaffold/templates/decisions/decision-template.md` | `decisions/decision-template.md` |
Templates keep their Obsidian Templater tokens (`{{date:YYYY-MM-DD}}` etc.) verbatim — those are resolved by Templater / by the skill's daily-note routine, not at seed time.
```bash
curl -s -X PUT -H "$AUTH" -H "Content-Type: text/markdown" \
--data-binary @scaffold/templates/journal/templates/daily-note-template.md \
"$BASE/vault/journal/templates/daily-note-template.md"
```
### 3. Anchor seeds (only if absent — no fabricated facts)
Substitute `{{DATE}}` → today, then PUT each:
| Scaffold file | Vault path |
|---|---|
| `scaffold/anchors/operator-preferences.seed.md` | `_agent/memory/semantic/operator-preferences.md` |
| `scaffold/anchors/current-context.seed.md` | `_agent/context/current-context.md` |
| `scaffold/anchors/inbox.seed.md` | `inbox/captures/inbox.md` |
The operator-preferences seed is deliberately empty — **do not invent preferences.** Real facts accrue through use.
### 4. Vault README (human signpost)
Substitute `{{DATE}}` if present, then PUT `scaffold/README.vault.md``/vault/README.md`. This is the only human-facing control doc in the vault and is **not** read by the agent for routing.
### 5. Marker (write last)
Substitute `{{DATE}}`, then PUT `scaffold/echo-vault.md``/vault/_agent/echo-vault.md`. Once this returns `200`, the vault is bootstrapped.
### 6. First-run trace
Create today's daily note from `journal/templates/daily-note-template.md` (resolve the `{{date:…}}` tokens to today), append a one-line `## Agent Log` entry noting the bootstrap, and write a session log in `_agent/sessions/YYYY-MM-DD-HHMM-bootstrap.md`. Tell the operator briefly what was created.
---
## Repair (existing vault, something missing)
Run the same steps 15, but GET-probe each path first and **only create what is missing**. Never overwrite. If a file exists but looks malformed, flag it in the session log rather than replacing it. Repair is safe to run any time and is the right response if the loading procedure hits an unexpected `404` on a structural path.
---
## Migrations (`schema_version` mismatch)
When the marker's `schema_version` is older than the plugin's, apply the migration steps for each intervening version, then PATCH the marker's `schema_version` frontmatter to the new value.
- **0 → 1** (control-docs-in-plugin): the vault previously carried root control docs (`CLAUDE.md`, `BOOTSTRAP.md`, `STRUCTURE.md`, `index.md`). Back them up outside the vault, DELETE them, PUT the thin `scaffold/README.vault.md` over the old verbose `README.md`, write the `_agent/echo-vault.md` marker, and scrub now-dangling `[[CLAUDE]]`/`[[BOOTSTRAP]]`/`[[STRUCTURE]]`/`[[index]]` links from the `## Related` sections of `operator-preferences.md` and `current-context.md` (leave historical session logs alone). Confirm with the operator before deleting.
