From 3b8d1a2a4cd092f0d9a0d6bfeba1f2f3889a62bb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Garry Tan Date: Sun, 7 Jun 2026 08:46:22 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] feat(jsonl-store): shared audited JSONL plumbing (injection-reject + atomic append + tolerant read) Single source of truth extracted for D2A: gstack-learnings-* and the upcoming gstack-decision-* bins share one injection-pattern list, one atomic single-line appender, and one tolerant reader. No more drift between stores.
