# Project plan — russel-serverless-api Evidence date: 2026-10-05. Source repository: `git@bitbucket.org:overdrive/russel-serverless-api.git`. Inspected revision: `master` at `c6a6cd889f2da571fc0f10bb037041e5dfb65114` (2020-12-01 12:02:27 +0000, "Initial commit", author Jaco Brits ``). `git fetch` on 2026-10-05 left `origin/master` at that same commit. `origin/HEAD` points at `origin/master`. No `silicon_ark/russel-serverless-api/` directory existed before this file. A search of Silicon Ark Markdown for `russel-serverless-api` and `russel_serverless` found no earlier mention of this slug. This plan describes what the repository contains. It does not decide what the product should become. ## Product There is no application, README, issue list, or product statement in git. The names in evidence are the Bitbucket slug `russel-serverless-api`, the scan-host directory of the same name, and the Sonar project name `russel-serverless-api` in an untracked properties file. What the product is, who it is for, and whether the slug names a real API are **Unknown / Requires Confirmation**. The words "serverless" and "api" appear only in the repository name and in that Sonar project name. They are not a specification. **Implemented:** a Bitbucket Git repository whose only tracked file is a `.gitignore`. ## Where the tree was read | Location | What it is | |---|---| | Issue path `~/projects/sonar_scan/repos/russel-serverless-api` | Recorded on OVER-260 at task creation (2026-09-28). That path is not on this machine | | `E:\backup\sonar_scan\repos\russel-serverless-api` | The copy that was opened. `origin` is `git@bitbucket.org:overdrive/russel-serverless-api.git`. `HEAD` is `c6a6cd8`, and `git status` reported the branch up to date with `origin/master` after fetch | The two untracked files described below were read from the backup copy. A fresh clone of `c6a6cd8` would contain only `.gitignore`. ## History One commit. No other branch, and no tag in `packed-refs` or `refs/tags`. | Commit | Date | Author | Message | Tree | |---|---|---|---|---| | `c6a6cd8` | 2020-12-01 12:02:27 +0000 | Jaco Brits `` | Initial commit | `.gitignore` only (50 lines) | The file header points at `https://www.atlassian.com/git/tutorials/saving-changes/gitignore` and says the list is an example to customize. Provenance: **Documented** in `.gitignore`. That the commit is Bitbucket's repository-creation sample, rather than a hand-written ignore file, is **Inferred** from that header plus the message "Initial commit" and the absence of any other file. No commit after 2020-12-01 is on `origin/master`. Whether work was done elsewhere and never pushed is **Unknown / Requires Confirmation**. ## Objectives No project plan, README, or requirements document exists in the repository. No objective can be inferred from application code, because there is no application code. **Unknown / Requires Confirmation** whether this repository was created as a placeholder, a project that was never started, or a remote that once held code outside this history. ## Scope In scope for this document: - The Bitbucket repository at `c6a6cd8` after `git fetch` on 2026-10-05. - The working tree on the backup copy, including files that are not in git. Out of scope: - Inventing a serverless API, a runtime, or a domain model from the slug. - Treating other Silicon Ark pages that contain the substring "russel" as part of this repository. See [Name collisions](#name-collisions). ## System shape Nothing in git is an application. ```text russel-serverless-api/ (git tree at c6a6cd8) └── .gitignore Working tree on the backup copy, not in git: ├── sonar-project.properties └── sonarqube_scan.bat ``` There is no function, route, OpenAPI file, framework manifest, database, worker, test, pipeline, or deployment file in the committed tree. ## Major components | Component | Where | Provenance | |---|---|---| | `.gitignore` | Tracked at `c6a6cd8` | **Implemented** as a version-control sample. Not an application component | | `sonar-project.properties` | Untracked on the backup copy. Filesystem last write 2026-01-07 18:36:11 local time. Header: "Auto-generated by SonarQube Scanner Automation" | **Implemented** as a local file. Not in git | | `sonarqube_scan.bat` | Untracked on the backup copy. Created 2026-01-28 06:33:00, last write 2026-01-28 06:55:29 local time. Header: "Auto-generated script to run SonarQube scan for this repository" | **Implemented** as a local file. Not in git | Filesystem times are metadata on `E:\backup\sonar_scan\repos\russel-serverless-api`. They are not git commits. The `.gitignore` file on disk was written 2026-01-07 18:36:10, which matches the local clone, not the 2020 author date. No application component is implemented. ## Milestones visible in git | When | What | |---|---| | 2020-12-01 | Repository created with the Atlassian sample `.gitignore` | | 2026-01-07 | Backup copy's clone timestamp for `.gitignore` and `sonar-project.properties` (filesystem, not a commit) | | 2026-01-28 | Backup copy's `sonarqube_scan.bat` written (filesystem, not a commit) | | 2026-10-05 | `origin/master` still at `c6a6cd8` | No milestone file, tag, or release exists. ## Implementation plan There is no forward plan in the repository. Current status: **placeholder repository, no application implementation**. Whether anyone intends to push code here is **Unknown / Requires Confirmation**. ## Known dependencies None declared in git. There is no `package.json`, `serverless.yml`, `template.yaml`, `requirements.txt`, `composer.json`, `go.mod`, `Dockerfile`, `bitbucket-pipelines.yml`, or lockfile. The untracked batch file names a scanner binary that is not in this repository: `C:\wamp64\www\sonar_scan\sonar-scanner\bin\sonar-scanner.bat` Whether that path still exists is **Unknown / Requires Confirmation**. It was not executed. ## Name collisions A Markdown search of Silicon Ark found the substring "russel" in other projects. None of those documents name this slug. | Place | What the other document actually says | Link to this repo | |---|---|---| | `silicon_ark/website/` | Branch `development_russel`, commits by Russel Sauer, public site and PHP `webadmin` | None. **Unknown** whether the names are related | | `silicon_ark/unity-lite/project-plan.md` | An author string `RusselSauer` on a 2021 commit | None | Those are separate repositories. This plan does not treat them as components of `russel-serverless-api`. ## Human confirmation 1. Was this slug meant to hold a serverless API, and for which product or client? 2. Is the name related to Russel Sauer, or to `website`'s `development_russel` branch? 3. Did any implementation live outside this history (another repository, a deleted branch, a machine that was never pushed)? 4. Should `sonar-project.properties` and `sonarqube_scan.bat` be committed, or are they scan-host tooling only? 5. Does a SonarQube project `overdrive_russel_serverless_api` exist on `https://scan.appmonitor.co.za`, and has a scan been run? 6. Is the repository abandoned?
