# HMS Consistency Pass — Session Log

**Date:** 2026-09-04
**Workspace:** `/Users/ttyler/pub/p4-hms` (client `tom_tyler.P4MBPro5.p4-hms`, stream `//p4-hms/dev`)
**Result:** Change 33516 submitted (101 files added — first submit to this stream)

## Summary

Performed a multi-phase deep consistency review of the HMS (Helm Management
System) codebase prior to its first submit into Perforce. Nothing was
previously versioned in this stream, so all changes were made directly on
disk and then reconciled/submitted as one changelist at the end.

## Phases

1. **Markdown absolute URL cleanup**
   - Converted 5 absolute `workshop.perforce.com` URLs in `dlp/ReadMe.md` to
     relative paths so links survive a project-root relocation.
   - Fixed a case-mismatch link in `README.md` (linked
     `HMS_Product_RoadMap.md`, actual file is `HMS_Product_Roadmap.md`) —
     significant because the P4 server has Case Handling: sensitive.

2. **Scripts/docs consistency pass (P4MS → HMS rebranding cleanup)**
   - Renamed vestigial `p4ms`-branded files back to `hms`:
     `reset_p4ms.sh` → `reset_hms.sh`, `p4broker_p4ms_test` →
     `p4broker_hms_test` (the latter fixed a real broken reference, since
     `test/env.sh` already expected the `hms` name).
   - Fixed a real runtime bug in `bin/hms`: called
     `global_replica_status.sh` (wrong, has no `.sh` extension in
     deployment). Fixed matching `.sh`-suffix inconsistencies in SEE ALSO
     cross-references and prose docs.
   - Added missing script entries (`gtu`, `hrun`, `irun`,
     `global_replica_status`) to `gen_script_man_pages.sh`'s ScriptList.
   - Flagged (deferred) that `nj/p4_N.broker.cfg.t` referenced 4
     non-existent broker filter scripts.

3. **NJ stub scripts**
   - Created 4 stub scripts referenced by the nj broker config template but
     missing from the tree: `nj_help.sh` (bash), `broker_njob.pl`,
     `broker_mkproj.pl`, `broker_jr.pl` (perl), all executable.

4. **Cruft scan**
   - Swept the whole tree for `.DS_Store`, swap/backup/temp/log files,
     empty directories, zero-byte files, and stray binaries — found none.
   - Found and removed 2 dangling absolute symlinks
     (`HostCM/p4` → `/p4/hms/bin/p4_hms`, `HostCM/p4d` → `/p4/hms/bin/p4d_hms`)
     accidentally created while testing commands from `HostCM/ReadMe.md`
     (meant for a production host, not this tree).
   - Confirmed `pre-upgrade.sh`/`post-upgrade.sh` symlinks are legitimate
     SDP-convention symlinks — left alone.

5. **`test/b` investigation and rename**
   - Confirmed `test/b` was a unique, purposeful broker/p4d test controller
     script, not a stale one-letter scratch copy of another script.
   - Renamed to `test/broker_ctl.sh` for clarity. No reference updates
     needed (self-naming via `${0##*/}`).

6. **Typo and bug scan**
   - Read through all scripts and docs; fixed ~30+ typos across README.md,
     HMS_SystemComponents.md, SDP_and_HMS_Update_Process.md,
     HMS_TightShipManagement.adoc, HMSDeploymentPlanning.adoc,
     HostCM/ReadMe.md, and several scripts.
   - Fixed real bugs:
     - `dlp/broker_imply-u.pl`: broken Perl regex match
       (`if (/$Arg =~ ^-u$/)` → `if ($Arg =~ /^-u$/)`); the flag-skip logic
       never worked as written.
     - `dlp/gen_dlp_broker_cfg.sh` and `nj/gen_nj_broker_cfg.sh`: identical
       copy-paste bug — a second `[[ ! -r "$BrokerConfigTemplate" ]]` check
       claimed to verify the Version file but re-tested the wrong variable.
     - `dlp/broker_must_be_owner.pl`: garbled comment corrected.
     - `tools/gsr.sh`: unclosed quote in `usage()` causing a bash syntax
       error — found via a final `bash -n` sweep across all scripts after
       the manual fixes.
     - `HMS_SystemComponents.md`: broker command example `^ms$` /
       `p4 ms status all` was missing the "h" — corrected to `^hms$` /
       `p4 hms status all`.
   - Fixed content issues confirmed with user: garbled README sentence,
     "large files" → "wildfires", dropped a redundant/vestigial P4MS-era
     parenthetical, broken markdown table in `HMS_Product_Roadmap.md`,
     unclosed parenthesis + "FKA Swarm" mislabel in
     `HMSDeploymentPlanning.adoc`, broken/incomplete sed command in
     `HMS_Install_Notes.md`, incomplete sentence in
     `SDP_and_HMS_Update_Process.md`, and standardized `//streams/main/...`
     naming in `HostCM/ReadMe.md`.
   - `scripts/sbi.pl`'s `exit(1)` after REJECT (vs. `exit(0)` convention in
     `dlp/*.pl`) was confirmed intentional by the user and left as-is.

## Notable open items (not fixed, deferred to future sessions)

- `nj/p4_N.broker.cfg.t`: `mkproj`/`jr` sections still have copy-pasted
  identical comments; ReadMe.md advertises a `p4 lsjob` command that
  doesn't match the cfg's actual `mkproj` command name.
- `lib/hms_upgrade.sh` has a self-documented "year 2100" hack (lines
  55-57) stripping a hardcoded "20" prefix from version strings — already
  flagged by the original author, just noted here for visibility.

## Process note for future sessions

**Files under `ai_dev_support/` should always be submitted in a separate
Perforce changelist from files in other areas of the tree.** This keeps
AI-assistant session artifacts/logs cleanly separated from product source
changes in the submit history.
