# Code Bridge Request: Task Description Hygiene Pass (Task #163)

**Date:** 2026-04-14  
**From:** Chronicler #89  
**Priority:** Medium  
**Task:** #163  

---

## What We Need

16 tasks in the database have empty descriptions. The descriptions exist in archived markdown files at `docs/archive/tasks-index-archived-2026-04-11/` in the ops manual — they just never got migrated when tasks moved to PostgreSQL.

## The Job

1. Clone the ops manual on Dev Panel (or read via Gitea API)
2. Scan `docs/archive/tasks-index-archived-2026-04-11/` for all `task-*.md` files
3. Parse each file — extract the task_number from frontmatter and the body content as the description
4. For each task that exists in the database with an empty description, UPDATE it with the content from the markdown file
5. Report what was backfilled and what's still missing

## Database Access

```
PGPASSWORD='FireFrost2026!Arbiter' psql -U arbiter -h 127.0.0.1 -d arbiter_db
```

## Archive Location

Ops manual repo: `firefrost-operations-manual`
Path: `docs/archive/tasks-index-archived-2026-04-11/`
Files follow pattern: `task-NNN-slug.md`

## Approach

Could be a one-off script or done manually task by task. The markdown files have YAML frontmatter with task_number, then a body with overview, steps, etc. The full body (minus frontmatter) is the description. Truncate if needed — the database column is TEXT so length isn't a concern.

For any tasks that DON'T have a matching archived file, flag them so Michael can write descriptions manually.
