# Phase 03 Plan 03: Tier 2 CLAUDE.md Spokes Summary

**Three CLAUDE.md spokes for compat (alpha-forge panel/manifest/availability), notify (Telegram @obdpy_bot integration), and ratelimit (file-based 6000 weight/min coordinator) with source-derived content**

## Performance

- **Duration:** 1m 21s
- **Started:** 2026-03-23T20:06:49Z
- **Completed:** 2026-03-23T20:08:10Z
- **Tasks:** 1
- **Files created:** 3

## Accomplishments

- Created compat/CLAUDE.md documenting alpha-forge compatibility layer: panel format conversion, FeatureRegistry singleton, cache availability with graceful ClickHouse fallback
- Created notify/CLAUDE.md documenting Telegram integration: env vars (OPENDEVIATIONBAR_TELEGRAM_TOKEN, OPENDEVIATIONBAR_TELEGRAM_CHAT_ID), key functions, usage patterns, consumer list
- Created ratelimit/CLAUDE.md documenting file-based cross-process coordination: atomic JSON state file mechanism, budget allocation table (sidecar 2400, kintsugi 2000, seeder 800, reserve 800)

## Task Commits

Each task was committed atomically:

1. **Task 1: Create compat/CLAUDE.md, notify/CLAUDE.md, and ratelimit/CLAUDE.md** - `c591891` (docs)

## Files Created/Modified

- `python/opendeviationbar/compat/CLAUDE.md` - Alpha-forge compatibility layer spoke (panel format, feature manifest, availability API)
- `python/opendeviationbar/notify/CLAUDE.md` - Telegram notification module spoke (env vars, key functions, usage patterns)
- `python/opendeviationbar/ratelimit/CLAUDE.md` - File-based cross-process rate limit coordinator spoke (mechanism, budget allocation)

## Decisions Made

- compat/CLAUDE.md includes a "Compatibility Guarantees" section (not just Files) because the module's purpose is stability across versions
- notify/CLAUDE.md documents that callers import directly from `telegram.py` (not `__init__.py`) which differs from the other packages
- ratelimit/CLAUDE.md includes a "Mechanism" section with numbered steps explaining the atomic JSON coordination protocol

## Deviations from Plan

None - plan executed exactly as written.

## Issues Encountered

None.

## User Setup Required

None - no external service configuration required.

## Next Phase Readiness

- All 3 Tier 2 spokes complete with correct Parent links and source-derived content
- Ready for Plan 04 (root hub table update or remaining spokes)
