docs(plan): SP38 orphan-ack housekeeping plan

Implements docs/superpowers/specs/2026-07-07-cyclone-orphan-ack-housekeeping-design.md.

Seven tasks, all TDD-shaped (RED test first, then implementation):

  Task 1: Extract _iter_orphan_st02s() helper from find_ack_orphans
          (refactor; no behavior change; existing tests must stay green)
  Task 2: Add find_ack_orphan_st02_summary() to CycloneStore facade
          (RED: test_summary_returns_per_st02_counts)
  Task 3: Add reconcile_orphan_st02s() to CycloneStore
          (RED: test_reconcile_is_idempotent + sentinel + dry-run)
  Task 4: Add 'cyclone ack-orphans status' CLI subcommand
          (RED: test_status_prints_table via CliRunner)
  Task 5: Add 'cyclone ack-orphans reconcile' CLI subcommand
          (RED: test_reconcile_creates_synthetic_batches + idempotent)
  Task 6: Add RUNBOOK.md 'Known historical drift' section
  Task 7: Full pytest + live CLI verification + autoreview + commits

Per cyclone-spec, commits are feat(sp38): ... for implementation
work and the final merge commit is 'merge: SP38 orphan-ack
housekeeping into main'. No schema migration; no UI change; no
auto-runnable reconcile.

# Orphan-ack housekeeping Implementation Plan
> **For agentic workers:** REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use
> superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or
> superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps
> use checkbox (`- [ ]`) syntax for tracking.
**Goal:** Surface the 804 historical orphan acks to operators via a
RUNBOOK entry + CLI, and provide a one-shot idempotent synthetic-batch
seeder so future acks for those ST02s can resolve against the
`batch_envelope_index` instead of remaining forever-orphans.
**Architecture:** Two thin CLI subcommands under `cyclone ack-orphans
{status,reconcile}` backed by a single store helper
`find_ack_orphan_st02_summary()`. The helper returns a structured
list[dict]; the CLI formats it. Reconcile uses the same SQLAlchemy
session the rest of the store uses, so it inherits the DB-first
invariant (no direct sqlite3 calls, no parallel writers).
**Tech Stack:** Python 3.11, FastAPI, SQLAlchemy, Click (CLI),
pytest, the existing `backend/tests/conftest.py` autouse fixtures.
**Spec:** [`docs/superpowers/specs/2026-07-07-cyclone-orphan-ack-housekeeping-design.md`](../specs/2026-07-07-cyclone-orphan-ack-housekeeping-design.md)

## Task 1: Extract `_iter_orphan_st02s()` helper from `find_ack_orphans`
The current `find_ack_orphans(kind)` walks the `acks` table directly
and does its own LEFT JOIN against `claim_acks`. Both the new store
helper (`find_ack_orphan_st02_summary`) and the existing
`find_ack_orphans` need to enumerate the orphan ST02s. Extract the
walk into a private helper in `claim_acks.py` that returns a flat
list of `(st02, ack_count)` tuples — the only join key needed for
the summary, and the seed for `find_ack_orphans`'s per-kind filter.
- [ ] Read `backend/src/cyclone/store/claim_acks.py:250-330` to confirm
the current shape of `find_ack_orphans`.
- [ ] Add `_iter_orphan_st02s() -> Iterator[tuple[str, int]]` to
`claim_acks.py`. One SELECT against `acks` joining
`claim_acks` on `(claim_acks.ack_kind = '999' AND
claim_acks.ack_id = acks.id)`, yielding `(set_control_number,
ack_count)` for each group where no claim_acks row exists.
For 277ca / ta1 the same shape but with the matching ack table
and `claim_acks.ack_kind` filter.
- [ ] Refactor `find_ack_orphans(kind)` to consume the helper.
No behavior change; same return shape, same idempotent
semantics. All existing tests must still pass.
**RED→GREEN test gate:** `cd backend && .venv/bin/pytest
tests/test_api_claim_acks.py tests/test_apply_claim_ack_links.py -v`
must remain green.
## Task 2: Add `find_ack_orphan_st02_summary()` to the store facade
- [ ] Add `find_ack_orphan_st02_summary(self) -> list[dict]` to
`CycloneStore` in `backend/src/cyclone/store/__init__.py`.
Returns `[{"st02": str, "ack_count": int,
"has_batch": bool, "batch_id": str | None}, ...]`.
- [ ] `has_batch` is `True` if a row exists in `batches` with
`transaction_set_control_number = st02`. `batch_id` is that
row's `id` (or `None`).
- [ ] Sort the result by `ack_count DESC` so the heaviest orphans
surface first in the CLI output.
**RED test first:** write
`backend/tests/test_ack_orphan_summary.py::test_summary_returns_per_st02_counts`
with a seeded DB (two orphan ST02s, one with a batch, one without)
and assert the shape. Watch it fail (no facade method yet), then
implement to GREEN.
## Task 3: Test the synthetic-batch seeder
The reconcile CLI inserts synthetic `batches` rows for any orphan
ST02 that doesn't already have one. This is a write; the store
helper needs a paired write-side method.
- [ ] Add `reconcile_orphan_st02s(self, dry_run: bool = False) ->
dict` to `CycloneStore`. Returns `{"created": int, "skipped":
int, "synthetic_batch_ids": list[str]}`.
- [ ] For each ST02 in the summary where `has_batch is False`, insert
a `batches` row with: `kind = '837p'`, `input_filename =
'<synthetic:orphan-reconcile>'`, `totals_json =
'{"orphan_reconcile": true, "ack_count": N}'`,
`validation_json = '{"orphan_reconcile": true, "note":
"sp38 synthetic batch row; source 837 was never ingested into
this DB snapshot"}'`, `id = uuid4().hex`. The remaining
columns take their defaults.
- [ ] When `dry_run=True`, return the plan without writing.
- [ ] Idempotency: re-running after a previous reconcile returns
`created=0, skipped=N`. Test this explicitly.
**RED test:** `test_reconcile_is_idempotent` — run reconcile twice,
assert the row count is unchanged after the second call.
**RED test:** `test_reconcile_uses_synthetic_input_filename_sentinel`
— assert every created row has `input_filename =
'<synthetic:orphan-reconcile>'`.
**RED test:** `test_reconcile_dry_run_does_not_write` — pass
`dry_run=True`, assert `created == N` in the plan but
`batches` row count is unchanged.
## Task 4: Add `cyclone ack-orphans status` CLI subcommand
- [ ] Open `backend/src/cyclone/cli.py`, locate the existing
`submit-batch` group.
- [ ] Add an `ack-orphans` group with a `status` subcommand.
- [ ] `status` calls `cycl_store.find_ack_orphan_st02_summary()`,
prints a table: `ST02 | ACK COUNT | HAS BATCH`. Total line at
the bottom.
- [ ] Exit 0 on success, exit 2 on DB error (matching `cyclone-cli`
convention).
**RED test:** `tests/test_ack_orphans_cli.py::test_status_prints_table`
using `CliRunner.invoke(["ack-orphans", "status"])`. Assert exit
code 0, assert the table contains the seeded ST02s and the total
line.
## Task 5: Add `cyclone ack-orphans reconcile` CLI subcommand
- [ ] Same `ack-orphans` group, `reconcile` subcommand.
- [ ] Accepts `--dry-run` flag (default False).
- [ ] Calls `cycl_store.reconcile_orphan_st02s(dry_run=dry_run)`,
prints `Created: N synthetic batch rows. Skipped: M (already
had a batch row).`.
- [ ] Exit 0 on success, exit 2 on DB error.
**RED test:** `tests/test_ack_orphans_cli.py::test_reconcile_creates_synthetic_batches`
— seed two orphan ST02s (one with batch, one without), invoke
`reconcile`, assert `created=1`, assert a row with
`input_filename='<synthetic:orphan-reconcile>'` exists.
**RED test:** `tests/test_ack_orphans_cli.py::test_reconcile_dry_run_flag`
— invoke `reconcile --dry-run`, assert `created=1` in plan but
no DB row inserted.
**RED test:** `tests/test_ack_orphans_cli.py::test_reconcile_is_idempotent`
— invoke `reconcile` twice, assert the second invocation reports
`created=0`.
## Task 6: Add RUNBOOK.md entry
- [ ] Open `docs/RUNBOOK.md`, find the existing "Operator triage"
section.
- [ ] Add a `## Known historical drift` subsection under it.
- [ ] Content (3-4 paragraphs):
- What the 804 orphans are (real production 999s whose source
837s pre-date the current DB snapshot).
- Why they cannot be auto-linked (the source 837s were not
preserved).
- How to triage them via the Inbox > AckOrphansLane.
- Optional: `cyclone ack-orphans status` to see the ST02
breakdown, `cyclone ack-orphans reconcile` to seed synthetic
batch rows for them.
## Task 7: Live verification + autoreview + commit
- [ ] Run the full backend test suite: `cd backend && .venv/bin/pytest`.
Confirm pre-existing failure count (20) is unchanged.
- [ ] Live-run `cyclone ack-orphans status` against the current
`~/.local/share/cyclone/cyclone.db`. Confirm output matches the
SQLite investigation: 5 distinct ST02s, 805 total orphan rows.
- [ ] Run autoreview (subagent) on the diff.
- [ ] Commit with the SP-N commit prefixes. Per the SP38 spec, the
work is: store-helper extraction (Tasks 1-3), CLI (Tasks 4-5),
docs (Task 6). Three commits, all prefixed
`feat(sp38): …`. Plus a `merge: SP38 orphan-ack housekeeping
into main` commit at the end of the review cycle.

## Anti-patterns
- **Don't add a UI for the CLI commands.** Spec is explicit: no UI
change.
- **Don't auto-run reconcile on boot.** Operators invoke it
manually after they accept the drift.
- **Don't try to backfill claim rows.** Source data is gone; no
way to fabricate claim rows that would be meaningful.
- **Don't put the synthetic sentinel in a constant somewhere.** The
string `<synthetic:orphan-reconcile>` appears in the spec, the
plan, the store helper, the CLI output, and the seeded batches
table. Keep it inline so a future grep finds it.

- `cyclone-spec` — already loaded (this plan is its output).
- `cyclone-cli` — for the `click.testing.CliRunner` pattern and the
exit-code convention.
- `cyclone-store` — for the facade re-export pattern in
`store/__init__.py`.
