The user's global ~/.gitignore_global excludes *.log universally, which
silently dropped our docs/CAPTURES/*.socat.log files from the previous
Phase 0 commit. Add explicit negation rules in the project .gitignore
so the spike capture deliverables are tracked.
Captured under socat MITM relay (host:9090 → container:9088, hex-dump
both directions), driven by tests/reference/RefClient.java:
- 01-connect-only.socat.log: bare login + disconnect (~1.7 KB)
- 02-select-1.socat.log: SELECT 1 round-trip (~6.7 KB)
- 02-dml-cycle.socat.log: CREATE TEMP + INSERT + SELECT (~9.9 KB)
These are referenced from PROTOCOL_NOTES.md §12 as the canonical
ground-truth for the wire-format claims.
Project goal: pure-Python implementation of the Informix SQLI wire
protocol. No CSDK, no JVM, no native deps. Targets icr.io/informix
/informix-developer-database (port 9088) as the dev/test instance.
Phase 0 is a documentation-only spike that gates all implementation
work. The four scaffolds:
- README.md: project status and Phase 0 deliverable index
- docs/PROTOCOL_NOTES.md: byte-level wire-format reference (TBD)
- docs/JDBC_NOTES.md: reverse-lookup index into the decompiled IBM
JDBC driver (4.50.4.1), populated from build/jdbc-src/ once the
decompile lands
- docs/DECISION_LOG.md: running rationale, with the Phase-1 paramstyle
/Python-floor/autocommit decisions pre-locked so they don't churn
later
CLAUDE.md is gitignored — operator-private context, public-PyPI repo.
