Retro — Shortcode Refinements

~GO chain retro — 2026-04-08 · acmedevUS/bahalaka · v2.5

What Happened

~GO chain: plan → build → test (12/12) → ship → retro. Renamed 6 shortcodes, removed TRUTH from Understanding, relettered A–D, fixed labels, moved Sovereign + Security to bottom. v2.5 live on bahalaka.com.

What Went Well

Caught Dropped Work

Joey flagged that changes from the previous session were never applied — section reorder and code renames got lost in context compaction. Recovered from the transcript summary and applied all of them.

TRUTH Removal

Removing TRUTH as a standalone option makes sense — honesty should be baseline, not a pick. The Understanding is now 4 levels (A–D) instead of 5, cleaner and more decisive.

What Could Be Better

Context Loss Between Sessions

User-requested changes survived in the summary but weren't acted on. When resuming from compacted context, diff the summary's "pending" section against actual code state before declaring done. Don't trust that the previous session completed everything.

Chain Summary

~P → ~B → ~T (12/12) → ~S → ~R. One loop iteration. Clean pass. v2.4 → v2.5.
