Delivery Planning — Bolt Plan

Construction sequence for the wedding newspaper generator, per confirmed answers (Q1=A value-core first, Q2=A no formal score, Q3=A one unit per Bolt, Q4=B parallel ai-draft + funnies, Q5=A no external blockers). A Bolt is one build pass over a piece of the work, ending in something that runs. Topology is from Units Generation (2.7); this stage chooses the economic path through it. Walking skeleton is skipped per affirmed team practice.

Bolt sequence

Bolt Units Notes / walking-skeleton Definition of Done Confidence hypothesis Expected demo
Bolt 1 generator (core) Value core first (Q1=A): CLI, content parse, masthead, layout, emit. Simple content, works end-to-end early. newspaper generate <simple content> emits a self-contained newspaper.html that prints to A4 with correct masthead + columns The core render pipeline hangs together and the paper prints end-to-end with hand-written content A one-page sample newspaper from simple markdown
Bolt 2a ai-draft Parallel (Q4=B) with Bolt 2b — independent of funnies. --draft calls the granted model and returns a DraftBundle review set The AI drafting loop (cloud model + per-article DraftBundle) works and stays reviewable A drafted article set ready for per-article review
Bolt 2b funnies Parallel (Q4=B) with Bolt 2a — independent of ai-draft. funnies builds crossword + find-a-word from content and embeds/selects a cartoon; falls back when none found Content-derived puzzles + cartoon are produceable and A4-printable A crossword, a find-a-word, and a selected cartoon block
Bolt 3 generator integration Fold in ai-draft + funnies; add per-article review page + photo embedding. Full newspaper: AI draft → per-article review → funnies section → photos → multi-page A4 print The whole chain works end-to-end with all sections and the review handoff A full multi-page newspaper with funnies, photos, AI drafts, reviewed

Why this order (summary)

  • Bolt 1 first = value core / end-to-end early (Q1=A): the highest-confidence, central capability lands first, matching the affirmed "no separate walking skeleton" (the first Bolt is naturally a thin end-to-end slice anyway).
  • Bolts 2a/2b parallel = the independent, higher-unknown pair (funnies and AI drafting — the user's stated worries, Q6=B,C) after the core works, so they can be built and de-risked concurrently.
  • Bolt 3 last = integration: wire the funnies + AI review into the core and polish multi-page fidelity. Tackles the print-fidelity worry (Q6=A) as the finish pass.

Confidence hypotheses (per Bolt)

  • Bolt 1: "The core render pipeline produces a correct, A4-printable paper from hand-written markdown."
  • Bolt 2a: "The AI draft produces acceptable wedding-appropriate copy and the per-article DraftBundle is reviewable off file://."
  • Bolt 2b: "Content-derived crosswords/find-a-words and a selected cartoon print correctly on A4 with a graceful fallback."
  • Bolt 3: "The full newspaper — AI drafts, review, funnies, photos, multi-page print — works end-to-end with all sections."
