journey-realtime
Use as the realtime build stage of the Butterbase journey. Implements the Realtime section of 02-plan.md by delegating to the realtime skill. Calls manage_realtime (configure) to enable WebSocket subscriptions on the listed tables. Skipped if the plan has no realtime needs.

Inputs
docs/butterbase/02-plan.md— the Realtime section.docs/butterbase/00-state.md— forapp_id.
Procedure

Read the Realtime section. Print it back:
"About to enable realtime on: <tables>. Proceed?". Wait foryes. -
Invoke
butterbase-skills:realtimevia the Skill tool with the realtime plan andapp_id. The wrapped skill callsmanage_realtime action: configureper table and reminds the user that RLS still applies to subscribed rows. -
Verify with
manage_realtime action: get. -
Append one line to
docs/butterbase/04-build-log.md:<ISO timestamp> realtime manage_realtime ok -
