2026-10-07	Proposed	Jens Tirsvad Nielsen	S02	The configuration files default to the working folder's, then the checkout's, confirmed and named (deliverable 3, criteria 9 and 10, tasks 2 to 4)	0ab5006

Purpose

Decide whether a new project holds the whole framework, including the qc checklists that the framework keeps in its own submodule, and whether a Maintainer can start the script from the folder where the project is to be created, through a global command, with the README saying exactly how.

Deliverable

1. create-project.sh that, after adding the framework submodule (and when framework already exists as that submodule), runs git submodule update --init --recursive in the new project, so framework/qc/ holds the checklists.
2. create-project.sh that finds its own files when started through a symlink, so a link in a folder on PATH works from any directory.
3. A README usage section that says: run the script from the folder in which the project is to be created (the default directory is ./<name> relative to where it is started), keep config.env and .env in the folder where the project is created or in the checkout (the folder's file wins, each file on its own), name other files with --config and --env, and make the script global with a worked example (a symlink in a PATH folder, with the check that it works), for Linux, macOS and Git Bash on Windows.

Go / No-Go Criteria

#	Criterion (objectively checkable)	Go	No-Go
1	After a run, framework/qc/ in the new project holds the checklist files and git submodule status --recursive shows no entry starting with -	Tests pass	An empty qc
2	A second run on a project whose qc is empty fills it and changes nothing else; on a complete project it changes nothing	Tests pass	Anything else changed
3	A failed nested fetch stops the step, reports what exists, names git submodule update --init --recursive as the command to run by hand and shows no credential	Tests pass	A credential shown, or the failure not reported
4	A framework without a submodule of its own does not make the step fail	Tests pass	Step fails
5	Started through a symlink in another folder, create-project.sh --help works and a run creates the project under the current folder	Tests pass	Files not found, or the project created elsewhere
6	The README example for the global command was run once as written and its check passed	Verified	An example that was not run
7	The README states the folder to start from and where the new project lands, with an example from a folder that is not the checkout	Reviewed by S02	Missing or unclear
8	All acceptance criteria of US-001.07 and US-002 in US-001 are met	Verified	Any unmet
9	With --config and --env absent, ./config.env and ./.env in the working folder are used, each file on its own, and the checkout's stand in for a missing one; with neither present the run stops before any request and names both places	Tests pass	A file used from another place, or a request made
10	A file from the working folder is named with the Gitea address it holds and needs a yes, default no, before the first request; every file used is named in the output	Tests pass	A request before the yes, or a file used without being named

Tasks

#	Task	Summary	Needs its own Use Case/User Story?	Reference
1	Fetch the framework's own submodules	After git submodule add of the framework, and on the "already a submodule" path, run git submodule update --init --recursive in the new project. A failure stops the step, reports what exists and names the command to run by hand, without a credential. Step 9 and extension 9e of UC-001.	Yes	UC-001
2	Start through a command link	Resolve BASH_SOURCE through links (without requiring readlink -f, which macOS lacks) so SCRIPT_DIR and PROJECT_ROOT point into the checkout, keep the current folder as the base of the default directory, and choose config.env and .env (named, else ./, else the checkout's), naming them and asking a yes for a file from the working folder. Errors name the places looked in. Steps 3 to 6 and extensions 4a to 4c of UC-002.	Yes	UC-002
3	Document the usage	Step 1 and extensions 1a and 3a of UC-002. README usage section: start from the folder where the project is to be created, where config.env and .env are read from (the folder first, then the checkout), the confirmation of a file from the folder, --config and --env, and the global command with a worked example and its check, for Linux, macOS and Git Bash on Windows.	Yes	UC-002
4	Test the qc fetch and the command link	qc filled after a run and after a rerun, nested fetch failure, framework without a submodule, start through a symlink from another folder; configuration files named, in the folder, in the checkout, mixed and in neither; the confirmation answered yes and no.	No
