# HopWeb
HopWeb is a collaborative forge for prompt-native software development.
It uses Git for durable source storage and Gitea for the proven forge substrate,
but makes Hop's workflow the primary product model:
- a **task** captures the outcome someone wants;
- a **prompt state** records each instruction in its causal context;
- an **attempt** is an isolated line of human or agent work;
- a **checkpoint** freezes the exact tree that was evaluated;
- **evidence** records checks against that immutable checkpoint;
- a **proposal** is a reviewable candidate outcome; and
- an **accepted state** is the current shared truth.
The repository **Prompts** view is a private, per-user review surface for that
causal record. The control plane identifies the signed-in Gitea user and only
returns prompt rows attributed to that user's immutable Gitea ID.
Hop's local state and exported prompt records can contain private requests and
machine paths, so `.hop/` is ignored and must never be published through Git.
`make hop-records` may be used for a local export, but its output remains local.
The product thesis is simple:
> GitHub organizes collaboration around commits and pull requests. HopWeb
> organizes human-agent collaboration around intent, attempts, evidence, and
> accepted outcomes.
## Foundation
Gitea supplies the expensive, mature infrastructure we should not rebuild:
- Git transport, repositories, LFS, and permissions
- users, organizations, teams, OAuth, and access tokens
- issues, notifications, webhooks, releases, packages, and Actions
- administration, audit surfaces, and deployment primitives
Hop supplies the differentiating control plane and experience:
- prompt and state graph persistence
- task and attempt orchestration
- agent identity and attribution
- checkpoint-bound validation evidence
- proposal review and acceptance semantics
- a Hop-native repository, task, attempt, and review interface
See [the product blueprint](docs/product-blueprint.md) and
[the Gitea foundation decision](docs/adr/0001-gitea-as-forge-foundation.md).
## First release
The first useful release is not a complete GitHub clone. It is a private,
single-installation forge where a user can:
1. create or import a repository;
2. open a task with a prompt;
3. launch one or more isolated agent attempts;
4. watch states, diffs, and checks appear live;
5. compare proposals by outcome and evidence; and
6. accept one proposal into the repository's shared state.
Everything else should be inherited from Gitea until the Hop workflow proves
that it needs a different abstraction.
