Ingest Stage

Split a raw session notes file (type: session-notes) into individual insight notes.

See references/pipeline.md for stage definitions and status flow.

Input

A session notes file in the inbox with status: raw and type: session-notes.

Process

1. Read the session notes file
2. Extract each bullet point as a separate insight
3. For each insight, create a new note via sb note create --source auto --title "{insight title}" with:
   • status: ingested
   • type: insight
   • source-session: {original session filename}
   • Inherited metadata: repo, branch, bean from the parent session file
4. Write the note body (the bullet text, cleaned up into a sentence or short paragraph) using the Write tool
5. Update the original session file's status to ingested using the Edit tool (change status: raw to status: ingested in frontmatter)

Output

• N new insight notes in the inbox, each with status: ingested
• Original session file updated to status: ingested

Constraints

• Preserve all provenance metadata from the parent session file
• Each extracted note gets its own zettelkasten timestamp (via sb)
• The source-session field links back to the original session file
• Don't merge or combine bullets. One bullet, one note.
• Skip empty or trivial bullets (single words, fragments)
