Every document filename now mirrors its lifecycle state with a status suffix (e.g., .draft.md, .wip.md, .accepted.md). No more bare .md for tracked document types. Also renamed all from_str methods to parse to avoid FromStr trait confusion, introduced StagingDeploymentParams struct, and fixed all 19 clippy warnings across the codebase.

Spike: Rfc Stub Source Link And Kebab Case Filename Bugs

Question
Why does blue_rfc_create not link the Source Spike field, and why are some spike/RFC filenames created with spaces instead of kebab-case?
Findings
Bug 1: Source Spike field rendered as plain text
Root cause: Rfc::to_markdown() in crates/blue-core/src/documents.rs:227-228
if let Some(ref spike) = self.source_spike {
md.push_str(&format!("| **Source Spike** | {} |\n", spike));
}
The spike title is stored as a bare String and rendered directly into the markdown table. No link is constructed.
Contributing factor: handle_rfc_create in crates/blue-mcp/src/server.rs:2522-2523 stores the raw title without resolving the spike's file path:
if let Some(s) = source_spike {
rfc.source_spike = Some(s.to_string());
}
The Rfc struct has no access to the spike's file path or the document store at render time. The same issue exists for source_prd at documents.rs:230-231.
Fix options:
- Resolve the spike file path at creation time (in
handle_rfc_create) and store a markdown link string insource_spike— e.g.[Title](../spikes/2026-01-26-slug.md) - Change
source_spikefromOption<String>to a struct carrying both title and path, then render the link into_markdown()
Option 1 is simpler. The spike's file_path can be looked up from the store via find_document(DocType::Spike, title).
Bug 2: Filenames created without kebab-case
Root cause: handle_rfc_create in crates/blue-mcp/src/server.rs:2529
let filename = format!("rfcs/{:04}-{}.md", number, title);
The raw title is interpolated directly — no to_kebab_case() call. If the title contains spaces or mixed case, the filename will too. There is no to_kebab_case function anywhere in server.rs.
Spike handler is correct. crates/blue-mcp/src/handlers/spike.rs:34 does call to_kebab_case(title):
let filename = format!("spikes/{}-{}.md", date, to_kebab_case(title));
The existing space-named spike files (e.g. 2026-01-25-Background Agents and Dialogue Creation Not Triggering.md) were created either before commit 015c21d applied the kebab-case fix to the spike handler, or by a Claude agent writing files directly with the Write tool (bypassing the MCP handler entirely).
Systemic issue: to_kebab_case() is duplicated as a private function in 7 handler files (spike.rs, adr.rs, decision.rs, prd.rs, postmortem.rs, dialogue.rs, runbook.rs) but is missing from server.rs where handle_rfc_create lives. RFC creation is the only handler that still generates filenames inline in server.rs rather than in a dedicated handler module.
Summary
| Bug | Location | Cause |
|---|---|---|
| Source Spike not linked | documents.rs:227 |
Renders title as plain text, never constructs a link |
| RFC filenames not kebab-cased | server.rs:2529 |
Uses raw title in filename, no to_kebab_case() |
to_kebab_case fragility |
7 private copies across handler files | Not shared; server.rs has no copy at all |
Recommendation
Recommends implementation. Both bugs are straightforward fixes:
- In
handle_rfc_create: look up the spike'sfile_pathfrom the store, store a markdown link insource_spike(same forsource_prd) - In
handle_rfc_create: applyto_kebab_case()to the title when generating the filename - Extract
to_kebab_caseintoblue-coreas a shared public utility to prevent future drift
