name: journey-durable description: Use as the durable-objects build stage of the Butterbase journey. Implements the Durable section of 02-plan.md by delegating to durable-objects. Calls manage_durable_objects (deploy). Skipped if the plan has no per-key stateful actors (chat rooms, multiplayer, rate limiters).

Journey: Durable Objects

Stage 3i of the guided journey. Deploy stateful per-key actors.

When to use

• Dispatched by journey when current_stage: durable.
• Directly via /butterbase-skills:journey-durable.
• Skipped (annotated (n/a)) if the plan has no Durable section.

Preflight

If docs/butterbase/03-preflight.md is missing, older than 24 hours, or 00-state.md has app_id: null, invoke butterbase-skills:journey-preflight first. Wait for it to return successfully before proceeding.

Inputs

• docs/butterbase/02-plan.md — the Durable section.
• docs/butterbase/00-state.md — for app_id.

Procedure

0. Refresh docs. Call butterbase_docs with topic: "functions". For Durable Object class structure, also WebFetch https://docs.butterbase.ai/durable-objects. Skip if cache is fresh.

For each Durable Object class in the plan:

1. Print: "About to deploy Durable Object: <name>. Proceed?". Wait for yes.
2. Invoke butterbase-skills:durable-objects via the Skill tool with the DO spec and app_id. The wrapped skill calls manage_durable_objects action: deploy, sets env via set_env if needed.
3. Verify with manage_durable_objects action: list and action: get.
4. Append one line per DO to docs/butterbase/04-build-log.md: <ISO timestamp> durable manage_durable_objects <do-name> ok
5. After all DOs are done, tick - [x] durable in 00-state.md, set current_stage: to the next unchecked stage.
6. Return to journey orchestrator (or ask "Continue to the next stage? (yes/no)").

Outputs

• Deployed Durable Object classes.
• One line per DO in 04-build-log.md.

Anti-patterns

• ❌ Sharing state across users via a single DO key — keys should be naturally per-room / per-user / per-resource.
