[campaign #254] STEP 3 — PORTS: physical migration of "portable now" subset, smallest-first

[hyperpolymath]

Part of #254. Blocked by step 2.

Goal

Execute the physical .js/.jsx → .affine ports for every file STEP 2 placed in the portable now bucket. Smallest-first to bank throughput and validate per-idiom-cluster patterns before tackling the long tail.

Expected idiom clusters (from #254 LAYER 3)

Many JS files likely fall in 1-2 idiom clusters; STEP 2's bucket comment should confirm:

• Deno CLI scripts (small, .ts-equivalent surface)
• VSCode extension JS (covered by Vscode.affine 55 fns)
• MCP glue (likely stays as JS — async stdio loop, protocol) — should NOT appear in this bucket; if it does, re-triage
• WebExtension scripts (blocked on host-API bindings, same as TS/RS) — should NOT appear in this bucket

If any of the "should NOT appear" categories show up in portable now, treat as a triage-tool bug and fix STEP 2 before porting them.

Top backlog candidates (informational, from #254 inventory)

The biggest backlog buckets are boj-server (144), panll (142), stapeln (105), proven-servers/idaptik (103). Smallest-first means starting elsewhere; the per-repo totals here are for scope tracking, not port order. STEP 2's output is the actual port order.

Acceptance

• Every file in STEP 2's portable now bucket is either:
  • Ported (.affine builds, original .js/.jsx removed, downstream build wiring updated)
  • Re-classified (moved out of portable now, with STEP 2's triage tool updated to reflect the rule that placed it correctly)
• Per-PR ownership gate on every PR (the gh repo view ... --json owner,isFork gate)
• PRs grouped by repo, smallest-files-first within each repo
• Carve-out classes from STEP 1 respected (no port attempts on vscode/**, **/deps/**, etc. — those belong to STEPs 4-5 or are permanent residue)
• Updated bucket-count comment on [campaign] Unnecessarily-JavaScript → AffineScript estate migration (UMBRELLA) #254 once this step's PRs land (delta vs STEP 2's initial counts)

Sequencing

Blocks: nothing — but feeds the STEP 5 re-triage with empirical patterns.
Blocked by: STEP 2 (without the portable now bucket, this step has no scope).

📚 Documentation landed in PR #314 — docs/migrations/js-to-affinescript/README.adoc §STEP 3 captures:

• Expected idiom clusters (Deno CLI / VSCode ext / and what should NOT appear in portable now)
• Per-port checklist (build green, original removed, downstream wiring, ownership gate, smallest-first)

Still owed: the actual physical ports. Stays open until STEP 2's portable now bucket is empty.

Closing per the 2026-05-30 documentation pass — the canonical campaign doc landed in PR #314. Implementation work (Hypatia rule, classifier tool, ports, bindings, re-triage cycles) can be tracked in fresh issues or referenced from the doc as it proceeds.
