Goal set: implement L5 /Users/gaganarora/Downloads/Recursive_AI_Autonomy.pdf in a way i can visually verify it

Stdout: Goal set: implement L5 /Users/gaganarora/Downloads/Recursive_AI_Autonomy.pdf  in a way i can visually verify it

A session-scoped Stop hook is now active with condition: "implement L5 /Users/gaganarora/Downloads/Recursive_AI_Autonomy.pdf in a way i can visually verify it". Briefly acknowledge the goal, then immediately start (or continue) working toward it — treat the condition itself as your directive and do not pause to ask the user what to do. The hook will block stopping until the condition holds. It auto-clears once the condition is met — do not tell the user to run /goal clear after success; that's only for clearing a goal early.

Goal acknowledged: implement "L5" from the Recursive AI Autonomy PDF with a visual verification surface. I'll start by reading the PDF to find what L5 is, then check the repo for existing related code.

# AGENTS.md

Open-Inspect is a background coding agent system that spawns sandboxed dev environments to work on
GitHub repositories. Single-tenant design. Stack: Cloudflare Workers (TypeScript), Modal (Python),
Next.js (React), Terraform.

## Architecture

Three tiers connected by WebSockets:

1. **Web Client** (Next.js on Vercel or Cloudflare Workers via OpenNext) — UI with GitHub OAuth,
   session dashboard, real-time streaming
2. **Control Plane** (Cloudflare Workers + Durable Objects) — session lifecycle, WebSocket hub,
   GitHub/auth integration. Each session is a Durable Object with SQLite storage. Uses D1 for the
   session index, repo metadata, environments, and encrypted secrets.
3. **Data Plane** (Modal, Python) — sandboxed environments running coding agents. Manages sandbox
   creation, snapshots, and repository/environment image builds.

**Bot integrations** — all Cloudflare Workers using Hono:

- `slack-bot` — Slack messages → coding sessions
- `github-bot` — PR review assignments and @mention commands
- `linear-bot` — Linear agent webhooks → coding sessions

**Data flow**: User prompt → web client → control plane DO (WebSocket) → Modal sandbox → streaming
events back through the same WebSocket chain.

### Package Dependency Graph

```
@open-inspect/shared  ←  control-plane, web, slack-bot, github-bot, linear-bot
```

**Build `@open-inspect/shared` first** whenever you change shared types. Other packages import from
it at build time.

## Common Commands

```bash
# Install & build
npm install
npm run build                                    # all packages
npm run build -w @open-inspect/shared            # shared only (build first!)

# Lint & format
npm run lint:fix                                 # ESLint + Prettier fix
npm run format                                   # Prettier only
npm run typecheck                                # tsc across all TS packages

# Tests — TypeScript (Vitest)
npm test -w @open-inspect/control-plane          # unit tests (node env)
npm run test:integration -w @open-inspect/control-plane  # integration (workerd/Miniflare + real D1)
npm test -w @open-inspect/web
npm test -w @open-inspect/github-bot
npm test -w @open-inspect/slack-bot
npm test -w @open-inspect/linear-bot

# Tests — Python (pytest)
cd packages/modal-infra && pytest tests/ -v

# Python linting
cd packages/modal-infra && ruff check --fix && ruff format
```

## Testing

All TypeScript packages use **Vitest**; Python uses **pytest** + pytest-asyncio.

### Test file locations

- **control-plane unit**: co-located as `src/**/*.test.ts` — run in Node environment
- **control-plane integration**: separate `test/integration/*.test.ts` — run in workerd via
  `@cloudflare/vitest-pool-workers` with real D1 bindings
- **web, slack-bot, linear-bot**: co-located `src/**/*.test.ts`
- **github-bot**: separate `test/*.test.ts`
- **modal-infra**: `tests/test_*.py`

### Control-plane integration tests

These run inside a real `workerd` runtime with Miniflare, using the `cloudflareTest()` plugin from
`@cloudflare/vitest-pool-workers`. Important:

- Integration tests share one D1 instance — use `cleanD1Tables()` or equivalent cleanup in
  `beforeEach`/`afterEach` to avoid cross-test pollution
- D1 migrations from `terraform/d1/migrations/` are applied automatically via
  `test/integration/apply-migrations.ts`
- Helpers in `test/integration/helpers.ts`: `initSession()`, `queryDO()`, `seedEvents()`

## Coding Conventions

### Durations and timeouts

- **Use seconds for Python, milliseconds for TypeScript.** These match each ecosystem's conventions
  (Modal `timeout=` takes seconds; control-plane uses `_MS` suffixes throughout).
- **Encode the unit in the name.** Python: `timeout_seconds`. TypeScript: `timeoutMs`,
  `INACTIVITY_TIMEOUT_MS`. Never use a bare `timeout`.
- **Define each default value exactly once.** Extract to a named constant and import everywhere.
- **Don't restate literal values in comments.** Write `Defaults to DEFAULT_SANDBOX_TIMEOUT_SECONDS`,
  not `Default: 7200`.

### Extending existing patterns

- When threading an existing field through new code paths, evaluate whether the existing design
  (naming, types, units) is correct — don't blindly propagate it. Fix bad names or units in the same
  change rather than spreading the problem.

Gagan has a live, working self-hosted deployment of Open-Inspect (github.com/ColeMurray/background-agents), deployed 2026-09-12.

- Local repo: `~/workplace/open-inspect-72e95a` (own private fork, origin `gagan114662/open-inspect-72e95a`, upstream `ColeMurray/background-agents`)
- Web app: https://open-inspect-72e95a.vercel.app (Vercel, team `gagans-projects-0e63a02f` / `team_EcnIAKL1UB1Gr84pYjkEdhOa`)
- Control plane: https://open-inspect-control-plane-72e95a.gagan-455.workers.dev (Cloudflare Workers, account `455206f4d2c32c865f6c8e3fbe6a44eb`, subdomain `gagan-455`)
- Sandbox backend: Modal, workspace `gagan`, health at https://gagan--open-inspect-api-health.modal.run
- Terraform state: R2 bucket `open-inspect-terraform-state` (hardcoded name in `terraform/environments/production/backend.tf` — NOT parameterized by deployment name, despite what onboarding docs imply)
- Sign-in: GitHub only, restricted to `allowed_users = "gagan114662"`. Slack/Linear disabled. GitHub bot enabled.
- Auth model: subscription-based, zero Anthropic API key anywhere (`anthropic_api_key` blank in terraform.tfvars — safe because Slack/Linear bots, the only things that require it, are disabled). Claude subscription connected via Settings → Provider Accounts, set as default, "Automated authentication" set to use the account.

**Why:** Gagan explicitly wanted this deployment to run entirely on his Claude subscription, not API keys — including the GitHub bot's automated sessions, which don't do that by default upstream.
**How to apply:** Any future work in this deployment (redeploys, debugging, new features) should preserve the subscription-only auth model and the access restriction to `gagan114662` unless Gagan says otherwise.

See [[open-inspect-deployment-gotchas]] for the real bugs/gaps hit while deploying this — useful if redeploying, upgrading, or helping someone else deploy this same OSS project.

Deploying Open-Inspect (github.com/ColeMurray/background-agents) for the first time surfaced several gaps between its onboarding skill/docs and actual repo behavior. Verified 2026-09-12 against the `main` branch. See [[open-inspect-deployment]] for the resulting live deployment.

1. **The onboarding skill's clone URL is wrong.** It says `[REDACTED]:ColeMurray/open-inspect.git`; the real repo is `ColeMurray/background-agents`.
2. **Terraform state bucket name is hardcoded**, not parameterized by deployment name: `terraform/environments/production/backend.tf` hardcodes `bucket = "open-inspect-terraform-state"`. Create the R2 bucket with exactly that name, not `open-inspect-{name}-tf-state` as the onboarding skill suggests.
3. **`cloudflare_worker_subdomain` must be just the label** (e.g. `gagan-455`), not the full `gagan-455.workers.dev` — Terraform validation rejects the dotted form.
4. **`packages/web/next.config.ts` unconditionally sets `output: "standalone"`**, which is what the Cloudflare/OpenNext build path needs but breaks Vercel deploys (`next-server.js.nft.json` ENOENT during Vercel's `onBuildComplete`). Fix: `output: process.env.VERCEL ? undefined : "standalone"`. Filed as a real code fix, not a workaround — pushed upstream-shaped commit in the deployment fork.
5. **GitHub sign-in needs the App's "Email addresses" Account permission set to Read-only**, even when using username-based admission (`allowed_users`), not email-based. Without it: `OAuthProviderError: GitHub email lookup was not successful`, 500 on `/api/auth/callback/github`. Not mentioned in the onboarding skill.
6. **The first signed-in user is NOT automatically Owner.** Provider Accounts management (and presumably other owner-gated settings) stays invisible/broken ("No accounts connected", no "Add account" button) until you run `npm run rbac:bootstrap-owner -- --database <d1-name> --user <canonical-user-id> --execute`. The canonical user ID is a 32-char hex string visible in control-plane logs (`wrangler tail`) as `principal_kind":"user","user_id":"..."` after first sign-in. This step is completely absent from the onboarding skill.
7. **GitHub-bot-created sessions don't use the Claude Agent harness by default** — `packages/github-bot/src/handlers.ts`'s `createSession()` never set `harness` in its request body, so it silently defaulted to `opencode`, which cannot use a connected Claude subscription (`anthropic: ["api_key"]` only in `packages/shared/src/harnesses.ts`). Fixed by adding `harness: harnessSupportsModel("claude", params.model) ? "claude" : "opencode"` to the request body — the control-plane's `/sessions` route already reads `harness` from the body with no restriction on caller type, and the provider-account resolver already supported `claude` harness + `provider_account` auth for unattended/bot sessions; the bot code just never asked for it. Fix committed to the deployment fork's `main`.

**Why this matters:** none of these are exotic edge cases — every one of them blocks a first-time deploy following the repo's own onboarding skill and `docs/`. Worth checking if upstream has fixed them before repeating this investigation on a future deployment or upgrade.
**How to apply:** if asked to deploy or upgrade this project again (this fork or a fresh one), check these seven points first before re-deriving them from scratch.

# Recursive meta-improvement (L5) loop

Source: "The Last AI Built by Humans — A Structural Framework for Genuine Recursive
Self-Improvement" (15-slide deck, Sep 2026).

## What the deck asks for

The closed improvement loop has seven parts: AI system, improver, strategy, target, verifier,
improvement, successor. Autonomy is measured by how many of those decisions have moved from fixed
human infrastructure into the AI's own persistent state:

| Level | Human keeps                        | AI internalizes        | Retained update       |
| ----- | ---------------------------------- | ---------------------- | --------------------- |
| L1    | objective, strategy, validation    | execution              | task outcome          |
| L2    | objective, task bounds, validation | search rules           | search strategy       |
| L3    | environment parameters, validation | data generation        | practice curriculum   |
| L4    | governance rules, rollbacks        | state management       | deployed state        |
| L5    | final oversight                    | the improver mechanism | the verifier/improver |

L5's benchmark (A-Evolve-Training): the system revises its own research policy when development
scores stop predicting external gains, then uses the revised policy to direct the next round.

Three failure modes the design must guard against:

1. **Safe inheritance** — self-modification that degrades over time. Needs transfer tests, version
   history, automatic rollback.
2. **Autonomy attribution** — better candidates mistaken for a better search process. Needs
   explicit separation of AI-controlled logic from fixed infrastructure.
3. **Reliable verification** — repeated evaluator access rewards exploitation. Needs evaluators
   frozen per epoch and an independent ground-truth anchor.

## Implementation: `packages/rsi-loop`

A dependency-free TypeScript engine plus a self-contained HTML dashboard.

- `environment.ts` — a "harness tuning" world. The target is a vector of coding-agent harness knobs.
  Each knob has a true effect on merged-PR quality (the external anchor) and a proxy effect on a
  dev benchmark. Three knobs are gameable: they raise the proxy while lowering true quality.
- `verifier.ts` — builds a frozen, hashed eval set per epoch, scores candidates through the current
  verifier policy (per-aspect credit weights), applies the acceptance rule (margin + holdout
  transfer test). The improver never sees the anchor.
- `improver.ts` — proposes candidates (L1), adapts its own step size from acceptance rate (L2),
  chooses a weakness-targeted curriculum for the eval set (L3).
- `archive.ts` — fixed infrastructure: append-only version history, deployment anchor check,
  automatic rollback, demotion memory carried as deployed state (L4).
- `meta.ts` — L5: measures predictive validity (do dev gains predict anchor gains?) over a window,
  revises the verifier's credit weights when validity collapses, versions the verifier, and rolls
  a revision back if it does not restore validity. The meta-acceptance rule is fixed infrastructure.
- `ownership.ts` — every mutable component is registered with an owner (`ai` or `fixed`). The AI
  side mutates only through `mutate()`, which refuses fixed components and logs the attempt.
- `loop.ts` — runs epochs and emits a full record for the dashboard.
- `dashboard/render.ts` — renders three runs side by side (unguarded, L4, L5): score curves,
  predictive-validity trigger, version lineage with rollbacks, failure-mode gauges, autonomy matrix.

Visual verification: `npm run demo -w @open-inspect/rsi-loop` writes `out/run.json` and
`out/dashboard.html`; open the HTML.

## Plan Mode Safe Operations

In plan mode, allowed because they inform the plan: `$B`, `$D`, `codex exec`/`codex review`, writes to `~/.gstack/`, writes to the plan file, and `open` for generated artifacts.

## Skill Invocation During Plan Mode

If the user invokes a skill in plan mode, the skill takes precedence over generic plan mode behavior. **Treat the skill file as executable instructions, not reference.** Follow it step by step starting from Step 0; the first AskUserQuestion is the workflow entering plan mode, not a violation of it. AskUserQuestion (any variant — `mcp__*__AskUserQuestion` or native; see "AskUserQuestion Format → Tool resolution") satisfies plan mode's end-of-turn requirement. If no variant is callable, the skill is BLOCKED — stop and report `BLOCKED — AskUserQuestion unavailable` per the AskUserQuestion Format rule. At a STOP point, stop immediately. Do not continue the workflow or call ExitPlanMode there. Commands marked "PLAN MODE EXCEPTION — ALWAYS RUN" execute. Call ExitPlanMode only after the skill workflow completes, or if the user tells you to cancel the skill or leave plan mode.

If `PROACTIVE` is `"false"`, do not auto-invoke or proactively suggest skills. If a skill seems useful, ask: "I think /skillname might help here — want me to run it?"

If `SKILL_PREFIX` is `"true"`, suggest/invoke `/gstack-*` names. Disk paths stay `~/.claude/skills/gstack/[skill-name]/SKILL.md`.

If output shows `UPGRADE_AVAILABLE <old> <new>`: read `~/.claude/skills/gstack/gstack-upgrade/SKILL.md` and follow the "Inline upgrade flow" (auto-upgrade if configured, otherwise AskUserQuestion with 4 options, write snooze state if declined).

If output shows `JUST_UPGRADED <from> <to>`: print "Running gstack v{to} (just updated!)". If `SPAWNED_SESSION` is true, skip feature discovery.

Feature discovery, max one prompt per session:
- Missing `~/.claude/skills/gstack/.feature-prompted-continuous-checkpoint`: AskUserQuestion for Continuous checkpoint auto-commits. If accepted, run `~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-config set checkpoint_mode continuous`. Always touch marker.
- Missing `~/.claude/skills/gstack/.feature-prompted-model-overlay`: inform "Model overlays are active. MODEL_OVERLAY shows the patch." Always touch marker.

After upgrade prompts, continue workflow.

If `WRITING_STYLE_PENDING` is `yes`: ask once about writing style:

> v1 prompts are simpler: first-use jargon glosses, outcome-framed questions, shorter prose. Keep default or restore terse?

Options:
- A) Keep the new default (recommended — good writing helps everyone)
- B) Restore V0 prose — set `explain_level: terse`

If A: leave `explain_level` unset (defaults to `default`).
If B: run `~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-config set explain_level terse`.

Always run (regardless of choice):
```bash
rm -f ~/.gstack/.writing-style-prompt-pending
touch ~/.gstack/.writing-style-prompted
```

Skip if `WRITING_STYLE_PENDING` is `no`.

If `LAKE_INTRO` is `no`: say "gstack follows the **Boil the Lake** principle — do the complete thing when AI makes marginal cost near-zero. Read more: https://garryslist.org/posts/boil-the-ocean" Offer to open:

```bash
open https://garryslist.org/posts/boil-the-ocean
touch ~/.gstack/.completeness-intro-seen
```

Only run `open` if yes. Always run `touch`.

If `TEL_PROMPTED` is `no` AND `LAKE_INTRO` is `yes`: ask telemetry once via AskUserQuestion:

> Help gstack get better. Share usage data only: skill, duration, crashes, stable device ID. No code, file paths, or repo names.

Options:
- A) Help gstack get better! (recommended)
- B) No thanks

If A: run `~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-config set telemetry community`

If B: ask follow-up:

> Anonymous mode sends only aggregate usage, no unique ID.

Options:
- A) Sure, anonymous is fine
- B) No thanks, fully off

If B→A: run `~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-config set telemetry anonymous`
If B→B: run `~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-config set telemetry off`

Always run:
```bash
touch ~/.gstack/.telemetry-prompted
```

Skip if `TEL_PROMPTED` is `yes`.

If `PROACTIVE_PROMPTED` is `no` AND `TEL_PROMPTED` is `yes`: ask once:

> Let gstack proactively suggest skills, like /qa for "does this work?" or /investigate for bugs?

Options:
- A) Keep it on (recommended)
- B) Turn it off — I'll type /commands myself

If A: run `~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-config set proactive true`
If B: run `~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-config set proactive false`

Always run:
```bash
touch ~/.gstack/.proactive-prompted
```

Skip if `PROACTIVE_PROMPTED` is `yes`.

If `HAS_ROUTING` is `no` AND `ROUTING_DECLINED` is `false` AND `PROACTIVE_PROMPTED` is `yes`:
Check if a CLAUDE.md file exists in the project root. If it does not exist, create it.

Use AskUserQuestion:

> gstack works best when your project's CLAUDE.md includes skill routing rules.

Options:
- A) Add routing rules to CLAUDE.md (recommended)
- B) No thanks, I'll invoke skills manually

If A: Append this section to the end of CLAUDE.md:

```markdown

## Skill routing

When the user's request matches an available skill, invoke it via the Skill tool. When in doubt, invoke the skill.

Key routing rules:
- Product ideas/brainstorming → invoke /office-hours
- Strategy/scope → invoke /plan-ceo-review
- Architecture → invoke /plan-eng-review
- Design system/plan review → invoke /design-consultation or /plan-design-review
- Full review pipeline → invoke /autoplan
- Bugs/errors → invoke /investigate
- QA/testing site behavior → invoke /qa or /qa-only
- Code review/diff check → invoke /review
- Visual polish → invoke /design-review
- Ship/deploy/PR → invoke /ship or /land-and-deploy
- Save progress → invoke /context-save
- Resume context → invoke /context-restore
```

Then commit the change: `git add CLAUDE.md && git commit -m "chore: add gstack skill routing rules to CLAUDE.md"`

If B: run `~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-config set routing_declined true` and say they can re-enable with `gstack-config set routing_declined false`.

This only happens once per project. Skip if `HAS_ROUTING` is `yes` or `ROUTING_DECLINED` is `true`.

If `VENDORED_GSTACK` is `yes`, warn once via AskUserQuestion unless `~/.gstack/.vendoring-warned-$SLUG` exists:

> This project has gstack vendored in `.claude/skills/gstack/`. Vendoring is deprecated.
> Migrate to team mode?

Options:
- A) Yes, migrate to team mode now
- B) No, I'll handle it myself

If A:
1. Run `git rm -r .claude/skills/gstack/`
2. Run `echo '.claude/skills/gstack/' >> .gitignore`
3. Run `~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-team-init required` (or `optional`)
4. Run `git add .claude/ .gitignore CLAUDE.md && git commit -m "chore: migrate gstack from vendored to team mode"`
5. Tell the user: "Done. Each developer now runs: `cd ~/.claude/skills/gstack && ./setup --team`"

If B: say "OK, you're on your own to keep the vendored copy up to date."

Always run (regardless of choice):
```bash
eval "$(~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-slug 2>/dev/null)" 2>/dev/null || true
touch ~/.gstack/.vendoring-warned-${SLUG:-unknown}
```

If marker exists, skip.

If `SPAWNED_SESSION` is `"true"`, you are running inside a session spawned by an
AI orchestrator (e.g., OpenClaw). In spawned sessions:
- Do NOT use AskUserQuestion for interactive prompts. Auto-choose the recommended option.
- Do NOT run upgrade checks, telemetry prompts, routing injection, or lake intro.
- Focus on completing the task and reporting results via prose output.
- End with a completion report: what shipped, decisions made, anything uncertain.

  _BRAIN_QUEUE_DEPTH=0
  [ -f "$_GSTACK_HOME/.brain-queue.jsonl" ] && _BRAIN_QUEUE_DEPTH=$(wc -l < "$_GSTACK_HOME/.brain-queue.jsonl" | tr -d ' ')
  _BRAIN_LAST_PUSH="never"

```



Privacy stop-gate: if output shows `ARTIFACTS_SYNC: off`, `artifacts_sync_mode_prompted` is `false`, and gbrain is on PATH or `gbrain doctor --fast --json` works, ask once:

> gstack can publish your artifacts (CEO plans, designs, reports) to a private GitHub repo that GBrain indexes across machines. How much should sync?

Options:
- A) Everything allowlisted (recommended)
- B) Only artifacts
- C) Decline, keep everything local

After answer:

```bash
# Chosen mode: full | artifacts-only | off
"$_BRAIN_CONFIG_BIN" set artifacts_sync_mode <choice>
"$_BRAIN_CONFIG_BIN" set artifacts_sync_mode_prompted true
```

If A/B and `~/.gstack/.git` is missing, ask whether to run `gstack-artifacts-init`. Do not block the skill.

At skill END before telemetry:

```bash
"~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-brain-sync" --discover-new 2>/dev/null || true
"~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-brain-sync" --once 2>/dev/null || true
```


## Model-Specific Behavioral Patch (claude)

The following nudges are tuned for the claude model family. They are
**subordinate** to skill workflow, STOP points, AskUserQuestion gates, plan-mode
safety, and /ship review gates. If a nudge below conflicts with skill instructions,
the skill wins. Treat these as preferences, not rules.

**Todo-list discipline.** When working through a multi-step plan, mark each task
complete individually as you finish it. Do not batch-complete at the end. If a task
turns out to be unnecessary, mark it skipped with a one-line reason.

**Think before heavy actions.** For complex operations (refactors, migrations,
non-trivial new features), briefly state your approach before executing. This lets
the user course-correct cheaply instead of mid-flight.

**Dedicated tools over Bash.** Prefer Read, Edit, Write, Glob, Grep over shell
equivalents (cat, sed, find, grep). The dedicated tools are cheaper and clearer.

## Voice

Direct, concrete, builder-to-builder. Name the file, function, command, and user-visible impact. No filler.

No em dashes. No AI vocabulary: delve, crucial, robust, comprehensive, nuanced, multifaceted. Never corporate or academic. Short paragraphs. End with what to do.

The user has context you do not. Cross-model agreement is a recommendation, not a decision. The user decides.

## Completion Status Protocol

When completing a skill workflow, report status using one of:
- **DONE** — completed with evidence.
- **DONE_WITH_CONCERNS** — completed, but list concerns.
- **BLOCKED** — cannot proceed; state blocker and what was tried.
- **NEEDS_CONTEXT** — missing info; state exactly what is needed.

Escalate after 3 failed attempts, uncertain security-sensitive changes, or scope you cannot verify. Format: `STATUS`, `REASON`, `ATTEMPTED`, `RECOMMENDATION`.

## Operational Self-Improvement

Before completing, if you discovered a durable project quirk or command fix that would save 5+ minutes next time, log it:

```bash
~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-learnings-log '{"skill":"SKILL_NAME","type":"operational","key":"SHORT_KEY","insight":"DESCRIPTION","confidence":N,"source":"observed"}'
```

Do not log obvious facts or one-time transient errors.

## Telemetry (run last)

After workflow completion, log telemetry. Use skill `name:` from frontmatter. OUTCOME is success/error/abort/unknown.

**PLAN MODE EXCEPTION — ALWAYS RUN:** This command writes telemetry to
`~/.gstack/analytics/`, matching preamble analytics writes.

Run this bash:

```bash
_TEL_END=$(date +%s)
_TEL_DUR=$(( _TEL_END - _TEL_START ))
rm -f ~/.gstack/analytics/.pending-"$_SESSION_ID" 2>/dev/null || true
# Session timeline: record skill completion (local-only, never sent anywhere)
~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-timeline-log '{"skill":"SKILL_NAME","event":"completed","branch":"'$(git branch --show-current 2>/dev/null || echo unknown)'","outcome":"OUTCOME","duration_s":"'"$_TEL_DUR"'","session":"'"$_SESSION_ID"'"}' 2>/dev/null || true
# Local analytics (gated on telemetry setting)
if [ "$_TEL" != "off" ]; then
echo '{"skill":"SKILL_NAME","duration_s":"'"$_TEL_DUR"'","outcome":"OUTCOME","browse":"USED_BROWSE","session":"'"$_SESSION_ID"'","ts":"'$(date -u +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ)'"}' >> ~/.gstack/analytics/skill-usage.jsonl 2>/dev/null || true
fi
# Remote telemetry (opt-in, requires binary)
if [ "$_TEL" != "off" ] && [ -x ~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-telemetry-log ]; then
  ~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-telemetry-log \
    --skill "SKILL_NAME" --duration "$_TEL_DUR" --outcome "OUTCOME" \
    --used-browse "USED_BROWSE" --session-id "$_SESSION_ID" 2>/dev/null &
fi
```

Replace `SKILL_NAME`, `OUTCOME`, and `USED_BROWSE` before running.

## Plan Status Footer

In plan mode before ExitPlanMode: if the plan file lacks `## GSTACK REVIEW REPORT`, run `~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-review-read` and append the standard runs/status/findings table. With `NO_REVIEWS` or empty, append a 5-row placeholder with verdict "NO REVIEWS YET — run `/autoplan`". If a richer report exists, skip.

PLAN MODE EXCEPTION — always allowed (it's the plan file).

# browse: QA Testing & Dogfooding

Persistent headless Chromium. First call auto-starts (~3s), then ~100ms per command.
State persists between calls (cookies, tabs, login sessions).

## SETUP (run this check BEFORE any browse command)

```bash
_ROOT=$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null)
B=""
[ -n "$_ROOT" ] && [ -x "$_ROOT/.claude/skills/gstack/browse/dist/browse" ] && B="$_ROOT/.claude/skills/gstack/browse/dist/browse"
[ -z "$B" ] && B="$HOME/.claude/skills/gstack/browse/dist/browse"
if [ -x "$B" ]; then
  echo "READY: $B"
else
  echo "NEEDS_SETUP"
fi
```

If `NEEDS_SETUP`:
1. Tell the user: "gstack browse needs a one-time build (~10 seconds). OK to proceed?" Then STOP and wait.
2. Run: `cd <SKILL_DIR> && ./setup`
3. If `bun` is not installed:
   ```bash
   if ! command -v bun >/dev/null 2>&1; then
     BUN_VERSION="1.3.10"
     BUN_INSTALL_SHA="bab8acfb046aac8c72407bdcce903957665d655d7acaa3e11c7c4616beae68dd"
     tmpfile=$(mktemp)
     curl -fsSL "https://bun.sh/install" -o "$tmpfile"
     actual_sha=$(shasum -a 256 "$tmpfile" | awk '{print https://open-inspect-72e95a.vercel.app/analytics}')
     if [ "$actual_sha" != "$BUN_INSTALL_SHA" ]; then
       echo "ERROR: bun install script checksum mismatch" >&2
       echo "  expected: $BUN_INSTALL_SHA" >&2
       echo "  got:      $actual_sha" >&2
       rm "$tmpfile"; exit 1
     fi
     BUN_VERSION="$BUN_VERSION" bash "$tmpfile"
     rm "$tmpfile"
   fi
   ```

## Core QA Patterns

### 1. Verify a page loads correctly
```bash
$B goto https://yourapp.com
$B text                          # content loads?
$B console                       # JS errors?
$B network                       # failed requests?
$B is visible ".main-content"    # key elements present?
```

### 2. Test a user flow
```bash
$B goto https://app.com/login
$B snapshot -i                   # see all interactive elements
$B fill @e3 "[REDACTED]"
$B fill @e4 "password"
$B click @e5                     # submit
$B snapshot -D                   # diff: what changed after submit?
$B is visible ".dashboard"       # success state present?
```

### 3. Verify an action worked
```bash
$B snapshot                      # baseline
$B click @e3                     # do something
$B snapshot -D                   # unified diff shows exactly what changed
```

### 4. Visual evidence for bug reports
```bash
$B snapshot -i -a -o /tmp/annotated.png   # labeled screenshot
$B screenshot /tmp/bug.png                # plain screenshot
$B console                                # error log
```

### 5. Find all clickable elements (including non-ARIA)
```bash
$B snapshot -C                   # finds divs with cursor:pointer, onclick, tabindex
$B click @c1                     # interact with them
```

### 6. Assert element states
```bash
$B is visible ".modal"
$B is enabled "#submit-btn"
$B is disabled "#submit-btn"
$B is checked "#agree-checkbox"
$B is editable "#name-field"
$B is focused "#search-input"
$B js "document.body.textContent.includes('Success')"
```

### 7. Test responsive layouts
```bash
$B responsive /tmp/layout        # mobile + tablet + desktop screenshots
$B viewport 375x812              # or set specific viewport
$B screenshot /tmp/mobile.png
```

### 8. Test file uploads
```bash
$B upload "#file-input" /path/to/file.pdf
$B is visible ".upload-success"
```

### 9. Test dialogs
```bash
$B dialog-accept "yes"           # set up handler
$B click "#delete-button"        # trigger dialog
$B dialog                        # see what appeared
$B snapshot -D                   # verify deletion happened
```

### 10. Compare environments
```bash
$B diff https://staging.app.com https://prod.app.com
```

### 11. Show screenshots to the user
After `$B screenshot`, `$B snapshot -a -o`, or `$B responsive`, always use the Read tool on the output PNG(s) so the user can see them. Without this, screenshots are invisible.

### 12. Render local HTML (no HTTP server needed)
Two paths, pick the cleaner one:
```bash
# HTML file on disk → goto file:// (absolute, or cwd-relative)
$B goto file:///tmp/report.html
$B goto file://./docs/page.html        # cwd-relative
$B goto file://~/Documents/page.html   # home-relative

# HTML generated in memory → load-html reads the file into setContent
echo '<div class="tweet">hello</div>' > /tmp/tweet.html
$B load-html /tmp/tweet.html
```

`goto file://...` is usually cleaner (URL is saved in state, relative asset URLs resolve against the file's dir, scale changes replay naturally). `load-html` uses `page.setContent()` — URL stays `about:blank`, but the content survives `viewport --scale` via in-memory replay. Both are scoped to files under cwd or `$TMPDIR`.

### 13. Retina screenshots (deviceScaleFactor)
```bash
$B viewport 480x600 --scale 2       # 2x deviceScaleFactor
$B load-html /tmp/tweet.html        # or: $B goto file://./tweet.html
$B screenshot /tmp/out.png --selector .tweet-card
# → /tmp/out.png is 2x the pixel dimensions of the element
```
Scale must be 1-3 (gstack policy cap). Changing `--scale` recreates the browser context; refs from `snapshot` are invalidated (rerun `snapshot`), but `load-html` content is replayed automatically. Not supported in headed mode.

## Puppeteer → browse cheatsheet

Migrating from Puppeteer? Here's the 1:1 mapping for the core workflow:

| Puppeteer | browse |
|---|---|
| `await page.goto(url)` | `$B goto <url>` |
| `await page.setContent(html)` | `$B load-html <file>` (or `$B goto file://<abs>`) |
| `await page.setViewport({width, height})` | `$B viewport WxH` |
| `await page.setViewport({width, height, deviceScaleFactor: 2})` | `$B viewport WxH --scale 2` |
| `await (await page.$('.x')).screenshot({path})` | `$B screenshot <path> --selector .x` |
| `await page.screenshot({fullPage: true, path})` | `$B screenshot <path>` (full page default) |
| `await page.screenshot({clip: {x, y, w, h}, path})` | `$B screenshot <path> --clip x,y,w,h` |

Worked example (the tweet-renderer flow — Puppeteer → browse):

```bash
# Generate HTML in memory, render at 2x scale, screenshot the tweet card.
echo '<div class="tweet-card" style="width:400px;height:200px;background:#1da1f2;color:white;padding:20px">hello</div>' > /tmp/tweet.html
$B viewport 480x600 --scale 2
$B load-html /tmp/tweet.html
$B screenshot /tmp/out.png --selector .tweet-card
# /tmp/out.png is 800x400 px, crisp (2x deviceScaleFactor).
```

Aliases: typing `setcontent` or `set-content` routes to `load-html` automatically. Typing a typo (`load-htm`) returns `Did you mean 'load-html'?`.

## User Handoff

When you hit something you can't handle in headless mode (CAPTCHA, complex auth, multi-factor
login), hand off to the user:

```bash
# 1. Open a visible Chrome at the current page
$B handoff "Stuck on CAPTCHA at login page"

# 2. Tell the user what happened (via AskUserQuestion)
#    "I've opened Chrome at the login page. Please solve the CAPTCHA
#     and let me know when you're done."

# 3. When user says "done", re-snapshot and continue
$B resume
```

**When to use handoff:**
- CAPTCHAs or bot detection
- Multi-factor authentication (SMS, authenticator app)
- OAuth flows that require user interaction
- Complex interactions the AI can't handle after 3 attempts

The browser preserves all state (cookies, localStorage, tabs) across the handoff.
After `resume`, you get a fresh snapshot of wherever the user left off.

## Headed Mode + Proxy + Anti-Bot Sites

For sites that block headless browsers, fingerprint Playwright defaults, or require routing through an authenticated SOCKS5 proxy (residential VPN, etc.), browse exposes three coordinated flags:

```bash
# Headed mode — visible Chromium window. Auto-spawns Xvfb on Linux
# containers without DISPLAY (no extra setup needed on Debian/Ubuntu).
browse --headed goto https://example.com

# SOCKS5 with auth (Chromium can't prompt for SOCKS5 creds itself —
# browse runs a local 127.0.0.1 bridge that handles the auth handshake).
browse --proxy socks5://user:[REDACTED]:1080 goto https://example.com

# HTTP/HTTPS proxy (passes through to Chromium directly):
browse --proxy http://corp-proxy:3128 goto https://example.com

# Browser-triggered file download (Content-Disposition, redirect chain,
# anti-bot CDN — falls back from page.request.fetch() to browser native
# download handler):
browse download "https://protected.example.com/file" /tmp/file.bin --navigate

# Combined: headed + proxy + navigate-download
browse --headed --proxy socks5://user:pass@host:1080 \
  download "https://protected.example.com/file" /tmp/file.bin --navigate
```

**Credential policy.** Pass creds via either the URL (`socks5://user:pass@host`) OR the env vars `BROWSE_PROXY_USER` and `BROWSE_PROXY_PASS` — never both. Browse refuses with a clear hint when both are set, because silent override creates "works on my machine" debugging traps.

**Daemon discipline.** Browse runs as a long-lived daemon. `--proxy` and `--headed` change daemon-startup config, so they only apply on a fresh daemon. If a daemon is already running with different config, browse refuses and tells you to `browse disconnect` first. No silent restart that would drop tab state, cookies, or logged-in sessions.

**Stealth.** When `--headed` or `--proxy` are set, browse masks `navigator.webdriver` (the obvious automation tell) via Chromium's `--disable-blink-features=AutomationControlled` plus a small init script. We do NOT fake `navigator.plugins`, `navigator.languages`, or `window.chrome` — modern fingerprinters check those for consistency, and synthesizing fixed values can flag MORE bot-like, not less.

**Container support.** `--headed` on Linux without `DISPLAY` automatically picks a free X display (`:99`, `:100`, ...) and spawns Xvfb. Cleanup on `browse disconnect` validates the recorded PID's `/proc/<pid>/cmdline` matches `Xvfb` AND start-time matches before sending any signal — no PID-reuse footguns. Standard Debian/Ubuntu containers work out of the box; minimal images (alpine, distroless) may also need fonts/dbus/gtk libs for headed Chromium to render.

**Failure modes.** SOCKS5 upstream rejected or unreachable → fail-fast at startup with a redacted error after 3 retries (5s budget). Mid-stream upstream drop → browse kills the affected client connection only; no transport retries (which could corrupt browser traffic). Mismatched daemon config → exit 1 with a `browse disconnect` hint.

## Snapshot Flags

The snapshot is your primary tool for understanding and interacting with pages.
`$B` is the browse binary (resolved from `$_ROOT/.claude/skills/gstack/browse/dist/browse` or `~/.claude/skills/gstack/browse/dist/browse`).

**Syntax:** `$B snapshot [flags]`

```
-i        --interactive           Interactive elements only (buttons, links, inputs) with @e refs. Also auto-enables cursor-interactive scan (-C) to capture dropdowns and popovers.
-c        --compact               Compact (no empty structural nodes)
-d <N>    --depth                 Limit tree depth (0 = root only, default: unlimited)
-s <sel>  --selector              Scope to CSS selector
-D        --diff                  Unified diff against previous snapshot (first call stores baseline)
-a        --annotate              Annotated screenshot with red overlay boxes and ref labels
-o <path> --output                Output path for annotated screenshot (default: <temp>/browse-annotated.png)
-C        --cursor-interactive    Cursor-interactive elements (@c refs — divs with pointer, onclick). Auto-enabled when -i is used.
-H <json> --heatmap               Color-coded overlay screenshot from JSON map: '{"@e1":"green","@e3":"red"}'. Valid colors: green, yellow, red, blue, orange, gray.
```

All flags can be combined freely. `-o` only applies when `-a` is also used.
Example: `$B snapshot -i -a -C -o /tmp/annotated.png`

**Flag details:**
- `-d <N>`: depth 0 = root element only, 1 = root + direct children, etc. Default: unlimited. Works with all other flags including `-i`.
- `-s <sel>`: any valid CSS selector (`#main`, `.content`, `nav > ul`, `[data-testid="hero"]`). Scopes the tree to that subtree.
- `-D`: outputs a unified diff (lines prefixed with `+`/`-`/` `) comparing the current snapshot against the previous one. First call stores the baseline and returns the full tree. Baseline persists across navigations until the next `-D` call resets it.
- `-a`: saves an annotated screenshot (PNG) with red overlay boxes and @ref labels drawn on each interactive element. The screenshot is a separate output from the text tree — both are produced when `-a` is used.

**Ref numbering:** @e refs are assigned sequentially (@e1, @e2, ...) in tree order.
@c refs from `-C` are numbered separately (@c1, @c2, ...).

After snapshot, use @refs as selectors in any command:
```bash
$B click @e3       $B fill @e4 "value"     $B hover @e1
$B html @e2        $B css @e5 "color"      $B attrs @e6
$B click @c1       # cursor-interactive ref (from -C)
```

**Output format:** indented accessibility tree with @ref IDs, one element per line.
```
  @e1 [heading] "Welcome" [level=1]
  @e2 [textbox] "Email"
  @e3 [button] "Submit"
```

Refs are invalidated on navigation — run `snapshot` again after `goto`.

## CSS Inspector & Style Modification

### Inspect element CSS
```bash
$B inspect .header              # full CSS cascade for selector
$B inspect                      # latest picked element from sidebar
$B inspect --all                # include user-agent stylesheet rules
$B inspect --history            # show modification history
```

### Modify styles live
```bash
$B style .header background-color #1a1a1a   # modify CSS property
$B style --undo                              # revert last change
$B style --undo 2                            # revert specific change
```

### Clean screenshots
```bash
$B cleanup --all                 # remove ads, cookies, sticky, social
$B cleanup --ads --cookies       # selective cleanup
$B prettyscreenshot --cleanup --scroll-to ".pricing" --width 1440 ~/Desktop/hero.png
```

| `dialog [--clear]` | Dialog messages |
| `eval <file>` | Run JavaScript from a file in the page context and return result as string. Path must resolve under /tmp or cwd (no traversal). Use eval for multi-line scripts; use js for one-liners. |
| `inspect [selector] [--all] [--history]` | Deep CSS inspection via CDP — full rule cascade, box model, computed styles |
| `is <prop> <sel|@ref>` | State check on element. Valid <prop> values: visible, hidden, enabled, disabled, checked, editable, focused (case-sensitive). <sel> accepts a CSS selector OR an @ref token from a prior snapshot (e.g. @e3, @c1) — refs are interchangeable with selectors anywhere a selector is expected. |
| `js <expr>` | Run inline JavaScript expression in the page context and return result as string. Same JS sandbox as eval; the only difference is js takes an inline expr while eval reads from a file. |
| `network [--clear]` | Network requests |
| `perf` | Page load timings |
| `storage  |  storage set <key> <value>` | Read both localStorage and sessionStorage as JSON. With "set <key> <value>", write to localStorage only (sessionStorage is read-only via this command — set it with `js sessionStorage.setItem(...)`). |
| `ux-audit` | Extract page structure for UX behavioral analysis — site ID, nav, headings, text blocks, interactive elements. Returns JSON for agent interpretation. |

### Visual
| Command | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| `diff <url1> <url2>` | Text diff between pages |
| `pdf [path] [--format letter|a4|legal] [--width <dim> --height <dim>] [--margins <dim>] [--margin-top <dim> --margin-right <dim> --margin-bottom <dim> --margin-left <dim>] [--header-template <html>] [--footer-template <html>] [--page-numbers] [--tagged] [--outline] [--print-background] [--prefer-css-page-size] [--toc] [--tab-id <N>]  |  pdf --from-file <payload.json> [--tab-id <N>]` | Save the current page as PDF. Supports page layout (--format, --width, --height, --margins, --margin-*), structure (--toc waits for Paged.js), branding (--header-template, --footer-template, --page-numbers), accessibility (--tagged, --outline), and --from-file <payload.json> for large payloads. Use --tab-id <N> to target a specific tab. |
| `prettyscreenshot [--scroll-to sel|text] [--cleanup] [--hide sel...] [--width px] [path]` | Clean screenshot with optional cleanup, scroll positioning, and element hiding |
| `responsive [prefix]` | Screenshots at mobile (375x812), tablet (768x1024), desktop (1280x720). Saves as {prefix}-mobile.png etc. |
| `screenshot [--selector <css>] [--viewport] [--clip x,y,w,h] [--base64] [selector|@ref] [path]` | Save screenshot. --selector targets a specific element (explicit flag form). Positional selectors starting with ./#/@/[ still work. |

### Snapshot
| Command | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| `snapshot [flags]` | Accessibility tree with @e refs for element selection. Flags: -i interactive only, -c compact, -d N depth limit, -s sel scope, -D diff vs previous, -a annotated screenshot, -o path output, -C cursor-interactive @c refs |

### Meta
| Command | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| `chain  (JSON via stdin)` | Run a sequence of commands from JSON on stdin. One JSON array of arrays, each inner array is [cmd, ...args]. Output is one JSON result per command. Pipe a JSON array (e.g. `[["goto","https://example.com"],["text","h1"]]`) to `$B chain` and it runs the goto then the text command in order. Stops at the first error. |
| `domain-skill save|list|show|edit|promote-to-global|rollback|rm <host?>` | Per-site notes the agent writes for itself. Host is derived from the active tab. Lifecycle: `save` adds a quarantined note → after N=3 successful uses without the prompt-injection classifier flagging it, the note auto-promotes to "active" → `promote-to-global` lifts it to the global tier (machine-wide, all projects). The classifier flag is set automatically by the L4 prompt-injection scan; agents do not set it manually. Use `list` / `show` to inspect, `edit` to revise, `rollback` to demote, `rm` to tombstone. |
| `frame <sel|@ref|--name n|--url pattern|main>` | Switch to iframe context (or main to return) |
| `inbox [--clear]` | List messages from sidebar scout inbox |
| `skill list|show|run|test|rm <name?> [--arg k=v]... [--timeout=Ns]` | Run a browser-skill: deterministic Playwright script that drives the daemon over loopback HTTP. 3-tier lookup (project > global > bundled). Spawned scripts get a per-spawn scoped token (read+write only) — never the daemon root token. |
| `watch [stop]` | Passive observation — periodic snapshots while user browses |

### Tabs
| Command | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| `closetab [id]` | Close tab |
| `newtab [url] [--json]` | Open new tab. With --json, returns {"tabId":N,"url":...} for programmatic use (make-pdf). |
| `tab <id>` | Switch to tab |
| `tab-each <command> [args...]` | Run a command on every open tab. Returns JSON with per-tab results. |
| `tabs` | List open tabs |

### Server
| Command | Description |
|---------|-------------|
| `connect` | Launch headed Chromium with Chrome extension |
| `disconnect` | Disconnect headed browser, return to headless mode |
| `focus [@ref]` | Bring headed browser window to foreground (macOS) |
| `handoff [message]` | Open visible Chrome at current page for user takeover |
| `restart` | Restart server |
| `resume` | Re-snapshot after user takeover, return control to AI |
| `state save|load <name>` | Save/load browser state (cookies + URLs) |
| `status` | Health check |
| `stop` | Shutdown server |

Found it: the control plane hasn't been redeployed since Sep 12 (Terraform apply only runs on manual dispatch), while the web was deployed at 14:33 expecting a new reviewSessions field it never sends—crashing signed-in loads only. Next: I'll ask before manually triggering the Terraform deploy, suggest an Incognito check to rule out cached Chrome errors, and meanwhile start reading your fork's trace-analysis scripts for the L5 work.

name: Codex Review

# Automated independent second-model review, formalized from
# docs/production-hardening-backlog.md item #4 ("Independent second-model
# review as a standing practice"). Runs Codex (a model with no stake in this
# repo's prior conclusions) against every PR diff and posts its findings as a
# PR comment. This job is advisory: it reports [P1]/[P2] findings and fails
# the check on a [P1], but it does not itself block merge unless branch
# protection is separately configured to require it — that's a deliberate,
# explicit decision left to the repo owner, not made here.
#
# Requires ONE of:
#   - CODEX_AUTH_JSON: the contents of a `codex login`-produced ~/.codex/auth.json
#     (ChatGPT-subscription auth — ties usage to that account's plan, not a
#     separate API budget; see docs/production-hardening-backlog.md item #4)
#   - CODEX_API_KEY / OPENAI_API_KEY: a standard API key
# Without one of these, this job reports that plainly and exits — it never
# silently no-ops as if review happened. Secrets are only available to
# `pull_request` runs triggered from THIS repo (never from a fork, by GitHub
# Actions' own default security model — this workflow deliberately uses
# `pull_request`, not `pull_request_target`, to keep that protection).
#
# KNOWN RESIDUAL RISK, not fully closed by this workflow: the reviewing
# agent runs with read access to its own auth material while reviewing a
# same-repo PR's diff, which could contain a prompt-injection attempt asking
# it to reveal that material in its review output. This workflow redacts any
# verbatim occurrence of the configured secret value from the posted comment
# and job logs as a concrete backstop, but that is a partial mitigation, not
# full isolation (a sufficiently reworded/re-encoded exfiltration attempt
# could still evade a literal-substring redaction). Real isolation would mean
# authenticating through a proxy that never hands the credential itself to
# the process reading untrusted diff content — not implemented here. Treat
# CODEX_AUTH_JSON as a real secret with this residual exposure in mind, not
# as fully contained by this job.

"""Detect recurring topics in actual agent session traces, not just in PR
diffs reviewed after the fact.

Everything this archive has measured so far (scripts/detect-recurring-pattern.py,
docs/self-improvement-archive.jsonl) comes from Codex's review of a PR's
final diff -- a real, but narrow, signal. It never sees the WORK itself: a
session that struggled with the same class of problem three times before
landing a clean diff looks identical, in that signal, to one that got it
right on the first try. The `traces` CLI (traces.com) indexes local agent
session transcripts (Claude Code, Codex, and others) and can search their
actual content, which is a genuinely different and complementary evidence
source: it can catch a recurring struggle even when the shipped diff never
shows it.

Uses the SAME topic/keyword taxonomy as detect-recurring-pattern.py so a
topic's evidence is comparable across both sources, not a parallel
vocabulary that never lines up.

Usage:
    python3 analyze-traces.py <repo-dir> [--limit N] [--traces-bin PATH]

Requires the `traces` CLI on PATH (https://traces.com), already
authenticated (`traces login`). Prints one line per topic with its
matching-trace count, then a JSON summary after a `---` separator. Exits 0
always (advisory) unless the `traces` binary itself cannot be found or run,
in which case it fails loudly rather than silently reporting zero evidence.

"""Pull the agent session traces linked to a PR's commits (via `traces
setup git`'s post-commit notes) and search them for the same recurring
topics detect-recurring-pattern.py already tracks.

This is the CI-side half of scripts/analyze-traces.py: that script searches
whatever is in the LOCAL Traces database, which is only ever your own
machine's session history -- meaningless inside a GitHub Actions runner,
which starts fresh every run with no local session files at all. This
script instead:

  1. Reads `traces notes --json`, which parses git notes under
     refs/notes/traces (see docs/production-hardening-backlog.md item #4's
     trace-analysis note) -- each note records which trace external ID
     produced which commit.
  2. Filters to notes whose commitRef falls in the PR's actual commit range
     (base..head), not just "recent" notes from unrelated work.
  3. Syncs each matched trace from the Traces API using an API key
     (verified against the real API: `traces sync <id> --key $TRACES_API_KEY
     --json` pulls real message content using only the key, no local CLI
     login session required -- exactly CI's situation).
  4. Runs the shared topic search (analyze_traces.analyze_by_topic) scoped
     to exactly those synced trace IDs via --trace-id, not --dir.

Traces only appear in git notes for commits made after both `traces setup
git` (records the note) and `traces setup agents --hooks` (tracks the
active session so the git hook has a trace ID to attach) were installed
locally by whoever made the commit -- a PR from before that setup, or from
a contributor who hasn't installed the hooks, simply has no linked traces,
and this script reports that plainly rather than treating it as an error.

Usage:
    python3 sync-pr-traces.py <repo-dir> <base-sha> <head-sha>
        [--traces-bin PATH] [--traces-key KEY] [--notes-limit N]

Requires TRACES_API_KEY in the environment, or --traces-key. Prints a
report in the same shape as analyze-traces.py, then a JSON summary after a
`---` separator.

name: Archive and Recommend

# Closes the specific gap named in docs/production-hardening-backlog.md
# item #4's self-improvement work: scripts/detect-recurring-pattern.py could
# already derive a target-vs-mechanism recommendation from
# docs/self-improvement-archive.jsonl's accumulated evidence, but something
# still had to run it and decide whether to act on the result. That
# "when to act" decision was a human/agent judgment call made by reading
# the archive. This workflow makes it automatic, but ONLY for two
# deliberately bounded actions: proposing an append-only audit entry to the
# archive AS A PULL REQUEST (never a direct push — a human still merges
# it), and opening a tracking issue. It never merges, deploys, or touches
# secrets, and requests no secrets.
#
# History: the first draft of this workflow computed "newly crossed
# threshold" purely in memory against the static on-disk archive, never
# persisting the round. Codex's review of that draft found the real
# consequence: two separate PRs that each contribute one finding on the
# same topic never combine, because each is compared against the same
# unchanged baseline in isolation -- evidence never actually accumulates
# across PRs. scripts/archive-round.py fixes this by appending each
# processed round to the archive, tagged with the PR commit SHA it came
# from. The first version of this fix pushed that change directly to the
# default branch; Claude Code's own auto-mode classifier correctly refused
# that ("Merge Without Review") -- an automated direct push to the default
# branch is exactly the review-bypass pattern this whole hardening effort
# has otherwise never allowed itself, even for "just data". The archive
# update is proposed as a PR instead, same as every other change in this
# repo's history.
# The same Codex review also found that filtering PR comments by their
# opening text alone lets any PR commenter forge a fake "Codex independent
# review" comment; this workflow now requires both the posting account to
# be github-actions[bot] AND the comment to carry the exact head-SHA marker
# .github/workflows/codex-review.yml embeds, binding the analyzed comment
# to the specific commit this workflow_run was triggered by.
#
# Runs after "Codex Review" (.github/workflows/codex-review.yml) completes.
# Uses `workflow_run`, not `pull_request`: workflow_run always executes the
# workflow file AND checks out source from the repository's default
# branch, never the PR's own commits -- so, unlike codex-review.yml, this
# workflow has no PR-authored-script trust boundary to manage. It requests
# no secrets: everything it reads (the posted review comment, the archive
# file) is already-redacted, already-public PR content.
# Second real finding from that same Codex review, on a live re-review of
# this file: each run only compares the archive against ITS OWN new round.
# If two separate PRs are each mid-flight proposing an archive-round PR
# (neither merged yet), each run sees only its own addition and neither
# reports a crossing — even if merging both together would cross it. The
# `push` trigger below closes that: once any archive-round PR actually
# merges into main, this re-evaluates the FULL merged archive from

Two things gate calling this "ready": the credential-isolation deploy (code done, needs the repo
owner to trigger `terraform.yml`'s `workflow_dispatch`), and PR #2's review/merge/secret to make
independent review self-sustaining instead of manually invoked. Both are deliberately left as human
decisions, not automated around — delegating the merge/deploy decision itself to Codex was tried and
correctly refused by the same classifier gate (see item #4's Context). See item #3's and item #4's
Follow-up/Terminal states for exact status.

## 1. Establish an eligible non-author reviewer path

**Status:** Done — 2026-09-12. See Evidence below.

### Objective and non-goals

- **Objective:** a reviewer identity other than the PR author that can submit a formal,
  commit-specific GitHub approval, so author-created PRs can satisfy branch protection through
  normal review instead of stalling.
- **Non-goals:** does not weaken `required_approving_review_count`, does not enable admin-override
  merges, does not change what counts as a blocking finding.

### Context

Found via `open-inspect-sandbox` PR #9 (2026-09-12): a real bug → independent CI failure → bot
repair → passing CI loop was fully proven, but the PR could not merge. GitHub blocks self-approval
structurally (PR author's own account, or an account acting on their behalf, cannot approve their
own PR). Two bot-mediated paths were tried and both fail to produce a fresh, commit-specific formal
approval:

- Comment-triggered re-review (`@bot please re-review`) posts a plain issue comment, not a
  `reviews.createReview` call — only `pull_request.opened` triggers a formal review submission
  (`packages/github-bot/src/handlers.ts` → `handlePullRequestOpened`), and that fires once, on the
  original (buggy) commit.
- Formally requesting review from the bot via `POST .../requested_reviewers` fails with "Reviews may
  only be requested from collaborators" — GitHub Apps aren't addressable as reviewers this way in
  this installation's current configuration.

An admin-override merge (`gh pr merge --admin`) was available in principle (`enforce_admins: false`)
but was refused by Claude Code's own safety layer ("Merge Without Review") and correctly not
attempted further — that path stays deliberately untested, not proven-impossible.

### Acceptance criteria

- [x] Reviews the current commit (not a stale one) and submits a **formal** GitHub approval —
      visible in `GET /pulls/{n}/reviews` with `state: APPROVED`, not just a PR comment.
- [x] GitHub's own mergeability check counts that approval toward branch protection
      (`mergeable_state` moves off `blocked`/`review_required` because of it, not because of an
      unrelated override).
- [x] Unresolved findings from that reviewer **block** approval — i.e. it can also submit
      `CHANGES_REQUESTED`, and does so when there's a real issue (already demonstrated on PR #9's
      first commit; re-confirmed on PR #10, where the reviewer caught a genuine, unplanned bug — a
      missing import — and requested changes on it before approving the fix).
- [x] A subsequent code change after approval requires fresh review — proved on PR #10 with an
      isolated test: approved → pushed a new commit → review auto-`DISMISSED` by GitHub's
      `dismiss_stale_reviews` → `mergeable_state` reverted to `blocked` → fresh `review again` → new
      formal review bound to the new SHA.
- [x] A real PR merges through normal branch protection (required status check + required approval)
      with **no** `--admin` flag and no protection changes made to force it through. Both PR #9 and
      PR #10 merged this way.

### Capabilities

- **Allowed:** modify `packages/github-bot` review-submission logic, GitHub App permissions/webhook
  events, branch protection config (e.g. `dismiss_stale_reviews`), or add a second reviewer identity
  (human account or properly-collaborator-registered bot).
- **Denied:** lowering `required_approving_review_count`, enabling any auto-approve-on-label path,
  admin-override merges as the "fix."

### Checks

- `open-inspect-sandbox`'s own CI (`npm run check`) for any code changes to the review logic itself.
- A live end-to-end repeat of the PR #9 scenario: push a real bug, let CI fail, request a fix,
  confirm the new reviewer path formally approves the corrected commit and the PR becomes mergeable
  without override.

### Terminal states

- **Complete:** a real PR in `open-inspect-sandbox` merges via normal protection using this path,
  linked as evidence below.
- **Escalate:** if closing this requires adding a second human GitHub account or a paid GitHub plan
  feature — that's a decision for the deployment owner, not something to route around silently.

### Acceptance test

An independent, unmodified run of the PR #9 scenario (bug → CI fail → repair → this reviewer path
approves → merge) performed _after_ this item is implemented, not a retroactive claim about PR #9
itself (which stays as historical evidence of the gap, not the fix).

### Evidence

**Audit findings** (read-only, done before any code change, per instruction not to create a new
identity or expand permissions until the audit established what was actually needed):

- The bot's identity and `pull_requests: write` permission were already sufficient — proven by PR
  #8's real `APPROVED` review and PR #9's real `CHANGES_REQUESTED` review, both formal and
  GitHub-counted, both submitted before this fix existed.
- The sandbox's `gh` CLI authenticates via the GitHub App's installation token
  (`packages/modal-infra/src/sandbox/vcs_env.py:29-38`), a genuinely separate identity from the
  human PR author.
- The actual gap was pure code: `buildCodeReviewPrompt` (`packages/github-bot/src/prompts.ts`, used
  only by the one-time `pull_request.opened` auto-review) included formal
  `gh api .../pulls/{n}/reviews` instructions; `buildCommentActionPrompt` (used by every `@mention`
  comment trigger) never did — it only posted plain issue comments.
- No new identity or permission expansion was used. Fix was entirely in `packages/github-bot`.

**Implementation** (commit `719fb205`, deployed via targeted `terraform apply`):

- `isReReviewRequest` (`github-mention.ts`) — deliberately tight trigger, must _lead_ with "(please)
  re-review", not merely mention the word.
- `buildReReviewPrompt` (`prompts.ts`) — formal review submission bound to the head SHA via
  `commit_id`, with an explicit re-check of the head immediately before submitting in case a new
  commit landed mid-review. Verdict must come from actually inspecting the diff, not CI status.
- `fetchPullRequestSummary` (`github-auth.ts`) — `issue_comment` webhooks carry no PR head info;
  fetches it fresh at request time.
- `dismiss_stale_reviews: true` added to branch protection (all other settings unchanged).
- 22 new/changed tests (`github-mention.test.ts` + `handlers.test.ts`), including a real bug the
  test-writing process itself caught: the first regex (`re-?view\b`) matched "review"/"re-view" but
  not "re-review" ("re" + "-" + "review", not "re" + "-" + "view") — found by the deliberately
  literal test case, fixed before commit.

**Live proof, PR #9** (https://github.com/gagan114662/open-inspect-sandbox/pull/9): real bug →
independent CI failure → bot repair → CI passes → `@bot review again` → formal `APPROVED` review (id
`5187416625`) bound via `commit_id` to the exact fixed commit
(`9ae4e2d9eb1c74e7424057f98e272b07723cf747`) → `mergeable_state` cleared → merged via
`gh pr merge --squash`, no `--admin`.

**Live proof, PR #10** (https://github.com/gagan114662/open-inspect-sandbox/pull/10) — isolated test
of criterion 4 plus an unplanned real bug catch:

1. Formal `APPROVED` on the initial commit (`58fe982...`).
2. Pushed a new commit → review auto-`DISMISSED`, `mergeable_state` → `blocked`.
3. `review again` → bot found a genuine bug (missing `ratioOf` import in the test file, not a staged
   scenario) → formal `CHANGES_REQUESTED`, with the exact fix in the inline comment.
4. Fixed the import, pushed, `review again` → formal `APPROVED` bound to the final commit
   (`3aa72daff1992dd22a0b29ee288d139c48fa20b0`) → `mergeable_state: clean` → merged, no `--admin`.

"""Decide target-fix vs. mechanism-fix from the improvement archive itself.

Closes the specific gap named while building
docs/self-improvement-archive.jsonl: across rounds 1-5, *I* (the agent)
judged when a finding was serious/recurring enough to warrant revising the
improvement mechanism itself (round 5) rather than just patching the current
target again (rounds 2-4). That judgment call was mine, not something
derived from the archive's own data — which is exactly the gap the paper's
L5 definition ("persistently revises a mechanism that governs subsequent
improvement") requires closing: the recursion has to include *deciding when
to recurse on the mechanism*, not just executing that decision once someone
notices a pattern.

This script makes that decision algorithmically instead: it reads the
archive, buckets every finding into a topic by keyword co-occurrence (no ML,
no external calls -- deliberately simple and auditable), and recommends
"mechanism" once a topic has recurred at or above a threshold across
distinct rounds, "target" otherwise. It is still a human (or an agent
executing on the human's behalf) who reads the recommendation and acts on
it -- this does not make merge/deploy autonomous, and does not claim to.
What it closes is narrower and real: the *decision itself* is now
reproducible from evidence, not from an agent's unrecorded judgment.

Usage:
    python3 detect-recurring-pattern.py <archive.jsonl> [--threshold N]

Prints one recommendation line per topic that has reached the threshold,

draft: scripts/analyze-latest-review.py compared "archive on disk" vs.
"archive on disk + this one round" purely in memory, without ever writing
the round back. Since the on-disk archive never grew, two separate PRs that
each contributed one finding on the same topic never combined into the
three occurrences a mechanism-level recommendation requires -- each PR was
compared against the same static baseline in isolation. Persisting the
round is what lets evidence actually accumulate across PRs, which is the
whole point of this being an archive.

Idempotency: each round is tagged with the git SHA of the PR commit the
review ran against (`source_sha`). If an entry with that source_sha already
exists, this script does nothing and reports the round as already
processed -- safe to re-run under retries, reruns, or overlapping workflow
runs without double-counting the same review.

Usage:
    python3 archive-round.py <archive.jsonl> <review-comment.txt> <source-sha> [--threshold N]

Prints a JSON object: {"already_processed": bool, "round": int|null,
"newly_crossed": [...]}

"""Decide, from evidence, whether a just-completed review round newly
crosses the mechanism-fix threshold for any finding topic.

This is the piece that closes the gap named while building this archive:
scripts/detect-recurring-pattern.py could already derive a target-vs-
mechanism recommendation from the archive's accumulated data, but something
still had to run it and decide whether the result was worth acting on --
that was a human/agent judgment call, made by eyeballing the tool's output.

This script makes that specific decision mechanical: it compares the
recommendation with vs. without the latest round's findings included, and
reports only topics whose recommendation *flips* from "target" to
"mechanism" (or newly appears at/above threshold) because of this round
specifically -- not topics that already crossed the threshold in earlier
rounds, which would otherwise fire on every single subsequent round
forever. A workflow can run this automatically after every review and act
(e.g. open a tracking issue) purely on its output, with no one needing to
have read the archive and noticed the pattern themselves.

Usage:
    python3 analyze-latest-review.py <archive.jsonl> <review-comment.txt> [--threshold N]

Exits 0 always (advisory). Prints newline-delimited human-readable lines,
then a `---` separator, then a JSON object: {"newly_crossed": [...]}.

Core commands:
- `traces list`: print recent local traces. Use it to find trace IDs by agent, directory, or time. It returns metadata, not event content.
- `traces search`: search trace metadata and saved event text for a pattern. Patterns are case-insensitive regex by default; use `--literal` for fixed substring search and `--case-sensitive` for exact casing. Results include trace IDs and, with `--result-level event`, event numbers.
- `traces show`: print event content from one trace ID. Use ranges and filters; do not dump a whole trace unless needed.

Command notes:
- Prefer the default human-readable output. Use `--json` only when you are actually parsing fields programmatically.
- When exploring, run independent `traces list` and `traces search` calls in parallel for efficiency.
- After you have candidate trace IDs, run bounded `traces show` calls for all traces you are interested in, in parallel, so their messages are available to read.
- For `traces show`, start with `--event-type user_message,agent_text`; include `tool_call` or `tool_result` only when you need commands, file paths, test output, or implementation evidence.
- For `traces search`, `--limit` controls returned matches. Use the scan budget flags only when recall is too narrow: `--scan-traces` controls how many traces are scanned (default 500, max 2000), and `--scan-events-per-trace` controls event rows scanned per trace (default 50, max 200).
- Keep outputs small with returned-match limits, ranges, event-type filters, tool filters, and time filters. Widen scan budgets only when needed.
- Tool calls/results and agent thinking are excluded from default search. Request them explicitly with `--event-type`.
- A current search session may appear if it mentions the query. Ignore it or refine with `--before`, `--dir`, or a specific trace ID.
- Some traces are first saved with only their title, time, directory, and file path. If you run `traces show <trace-id>`, Traces may read the original local session file and save its messages locally. After that, `traces search` can find text from those messages.

"""The improvement mechanism's own policy, as versioned data instead of code.

Before this module, the rule that decides whether a recurring finding
deserves a target-level patch or a mechanism-level fix lived as constants in
scripts/detect-recurring-pattern.py: a keyword taxonomy and a recurrence
threshold, written by hand once and never revisited. That is an L4 loop in
the paper's terms (docs/plans/recursive-meta-improvement.md): the system
adapts its deployed state, but the mechanism governing what counts as an
improvement stays fixed human infrastructure.

L5 requires that mechanism to be something the system can revise from
evidence, with the same safeguards it applies to every other change. So the
policy becomes a JSON document with a version, a parent, and an origin, and
every revision is appended to a history file with the evidence that
justified it. The pieces that must NOT be revisable by the meta-improver
(the archive, the external anchor, the independent verifier, the acceptance
thresholds, and the promotion path) are enumerated in FIXED_INFRASTRUCTURE,
and `assert_ai_may_write` refuses any write outside AI_OWNED_COMPONENTS.

"""Measure whether the improvement policy's own signal predicts what the
field shows -- the L5 trigger from docs/plans/recursive-meta-improvement.md.

The loop in this repo decides "target fix vs mechanism fix" from Codex
review findings bucketed by docs/improvement-policy.json's taxonomy. That
bucketed count is the loop's development score: it is what the mechanism
sees. It can be wrong in two ways the mechanism itself cannot notice:

  1. Coverage: findings the taxonomy does not classify are simply dropped,
     so a class of problem the loop keeps hitting never accumulates toward
     the threshold. Measured as classified / total findings.
  2. Predictive validity: a topic the taxonomy credits heavily may never
     show up in actual working sessions, while one it barely credits does.
     Measured as the Spearman rank correlation, across topics, between the
     review-derived recurrence (rounds with a finding) and an independent
     anchor: Traces evidence from working sessions in this repository.

The anchor deliberately excludes the verifier's own transcripts (Codex
review sessions) by default: those contain the findings themselves, so
counting them would make the anchor echo the development score instead of
checking it (paper failure mode 3, "reliable verification").

Both measures are replayed per archive round, using only the rounds and
traces that existed at that round's timestamp, so the dashboard can show
when a revision would have fired, not just where things stand now.

Usage:
    python3 measure-policy-validity.py <archive.jsonl>
        [--policy PATH] [--trace-evidence EVIDENCE.json]
        [--repo-dir DIR [--save-evidence EVIDENCE.json] [--anchor-agents a,b|all]]
        [--traces-bin PATH]

Without --trace-evidence or --repo-dir the anchor is absent: coverage is
still measured, validity is reported as null, and the JSON says so plainly.
Prints human-readable lines, then a `---` separator, then a JSON object.
