## User

can you retro-port the content from tmp/history/pascal/codex/Pascals-MBP.local/Code/business/convx/.2026-02-15-1642-agents.md-instructions-for--users-pascal-code-business-convx.json manually into our history target path? 

because that got lost somehow so I want to get it back now. it's using an older format so you'll have to manually port it before creating the json and md

## Agent

Checking how the basename/slug is derived and inspecting an existing MD file:

## Agent

Converting the old format to the new format and creating the JSON and MD files in the history target path.

## Agent

Creating the ported JSON and MD files.

## Agent

Porting is done. The session from the old tmp path is now in the history target path.

**Created files:**
- `history/pascal/codex/.2026-02-15-1642-agents.md-instructions-for--users-pascal-code-business-convx.json`
- `history/pascal/codex/2026-02-15-1642-agents.md-instructions-for--users-pascal-code-business-convx.md`

**Format changes applied:**
- `role: "developer"` → `kind: "system"`, `role: "system"`
- `role: "user"` (injected context like AGENTS.md, environment_context) → `kind: "system"`, `role: "user"`
- `role: "user"` (actual user message) → `kind: "user"`, `role: "user"`
- `role: "assistant"` → `kind: "assistant"`, `role: "assistant"`
- Added `child_sessions: null` to match the current schema

The basename `2026-02-15-1642-agents.md-instructions-for--users-pascal-code-business-convx` comes from the original filename. This is the same session as `2026-02-15-1642-can-you-check--history-codex-for-the-previous-conversation-w` (session_id `019c622e-a9f9-7d62-a898-31059da7705e`), but with the old slug restored.

## User

can you do the same for this convo (which took place in a different repo but should also be in here next to the 2 existing codex histories)

tmp/history/pascal/codex/Pascals-MBP.local/codex/*.json

## Agent

Converting the `.codex` session and creating the JSON and MD files.

## User

do you have to manually write the file? can'y you use a script to auto write it ? Seems structured enough

## Agent

Creating a small script to automate the conversion and running it.

## Agent

Checking the output:

## Agent

Updating the shebang so it runs without `uv run` (which fails due to pyproject):

## Agent

Created `scripts/retro_port.py` and ran it for the `.codex` session. It:

- Reads old-format JSON (`role`: developer|user|assistant)
- Maps to `NormalizedSession` / `NormalizedMessage` (kind, role, etc.)
- Writes `.json` and `.md` via the existing render helpers

**Usage:**
```bash
.venv/bin/python scripts/retro_port.py tmp/history/.../*.json -o history/pascal/codex
```

Or with multiple inputs:
```bash
.venv/bin/python scripts/retro_port.py file1.json file2.json -o history/pascal/codex
```

The `.codex` conversation is now at:
- `history/pascal/codex/2026-02-15-1055-can-you-check-the--sessions--folder-and-tell-me-how-we-can-w.md`
- `history/pascal/codex/.2026-02-15-1055-can-you-check-the--sessions--folder-and-tell-me-how-we-can-w.json`

## User

thx we don't need to keep the retro port script once we got it in.

## Agent

Removed `scripts/retro_port.py`.
