Why this doc exists

Align Operating with the single active engagement model for Magic Spoon (client 68932): one forward Deal #2 project, Demilade Agboola as CSO/SL in Operating, no duplicate CSO+SL positions for the same person on the same project, and allocation rows that match the project window for Apr–Sep 2026 planning.

Operating IDs (client Magic Spoon)

FieldValue
Client68932 — Magic Spoon — active (archivedAt null).
Project — Deal #2 (canonical)166208 — Magic Spoon - Deal #2 - Data Platform Transition & Management — clientId 68932, statusId 577 (Confirmed).
Project — Deal #1 (legacy)146789 — Magic Spoon - Deal #1 — archivedAt 2026-03-09T14:59:58.684Z; through 2026-01-31.
Project — duplicate name (orphan client)168023 — Feb'26 - Magicspoon - Deal #2 - … — clientId null, archivedAt 2026-03-23T15:54:32.568Z — do not use for staffing.

API gotcha: Use GET /v1/projects/{id} for full rows; list endpoints may omit fields.

Single project rule (from 2026-04-01)

For Magic Spoon (68932), the only non-archived delivery project used for forward staffing is 166208 (Deal #2). Older Deal #1 and the duplicate 168023 row are archived.

Auth: API_KEY=$(op read "op://66hi4dru5dtznpzqwdac23e2fm/lk4xm23nk3vmwp4squcfindicq/password")

1) Project 166208 — owner, dates, billing type

PATCH /v1/projects/166208

  • projectOwnerId → 37948 (Demilade Agboola)
  • from → 2026-04-01
  • through → 2026-09-30 (placeholder six-month planning window — confirm with Finance / SOW)
  • billingType → fixed-price
curl -sS -X PATCH "https://api.operating.app/v1/projects/166208" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $API_KEY" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"projectOwnerId":"37948","from":"2026-04-01","through":"2026-09-30","billingType":"fixed-price"}' | jq '.data | {id, projectOwnerId, from, through, billingType}'

2) Consolidate Demilade — archive duplicate CSO position 1381392

Historical allocation 2636902 on 1381392 already ended 2026-03-31. PATCH /v1/positions/1381392 with archivedAt — retain active Service Lead position 1453994 as the single Demilade row on Deal #2.

3) Allocations — align through dates with project
