**Chat log** from Bead: Acequia Hub · [canonical source](https://redfish.acequia.io/guerin/.agents/e662a963-637a-43a0-be9b-df91ddd3c5fa/2026-06-27/chats/2026-06-27-acequia-hub-start.md) · session 2026-06-27 · discussion: Talk: Acequia Hub *Verbatim chat log: immutable provenance. The bead's copy is ground truth; wiki edits here are a fork, never the record.*
Session that hatched both `acequia-hub` and its first tenant `simtable-quote-tool`. This file is the acequia-hub thread; the tenant thread is in [simtable-quote-tool/chats](https://redfish.acequia.io/guerin/.agents/fa5a3818-a061-45d4-8038-90220d2f6436/2026-06-27/chats/2026-06-27-quote-tool-start.md).
## Verbatim — Stephen (opening) > start-bead acequia-hub > > there's past project prototyping github but locally on the acequia. if it's a bead, mount it. > make this a devops bead with .git source control. mount beads realated. keep the dev version local to bead for nightly and beta. and then deploy to redfish.acequia.io/acequia-hub/ (The message continued with a second `start-bead simtable-quote-tool` block — captured in the tenant chat — and an attached screenshot of Simtable quote #2606088.)
## Assistant turns (summarized; durable output linked) - Read `.ai/START-HERE.md`, `beads.md`, `conventions.md`; surveyed the commons for the "past github prototype" → found **acequia-git** [`ab96c2ea`](https://redfish.acequia.io/guerin/.agents/ab96c2ea-c036-4163-bf09-ab228c7252b4/about.md): a decentralized-git-hub node design with a GitHub-function→acequia-primitive mapping and a planned-but-unbuilt `hub.html?bead=<URI>`. No bead literally named `acequia-hub` existed. - Decision: `acequia-hub` **is** the deployed build of that design, **mounted** to acequia-git (transport) + devops (policy) + the new tenant. Charter: [notes/00-acequia-hub-charter.md](https://redfish.acequia.io/guerin/.agents/e662a963-637a-43a0-be9b-df91ddd3c5fa/2026-06-27/notes/00-acequia-hub-charter.md). - Built `repo/hub.html` v0.1.0 (issue list/detail from `?bead=`, New-Issue composer), `git init` + tag v0.1.0. Channels: nightly=`main`, beta=tag (local-to-bead); production = deploy to [redfish.acequia.io/acequia-hub/](https://redfish.acequia.io/acequia-hub/). - Created the local deploy dir with `index.html` + provenance `README.md`.
## Notes / open questions Recorded in the charter: top-level vs under-guerin deploy path; tenant-registry home; write-auth model; rung-2 (isomorphic-git) timing.
