One verify job per range: a plan container lists the mutants (diff taken at the
workspace root), stage 1 runs each file's mutants against that file's tests only
and decides only caught and unviable, stage 2 confirms every survivor, timeout,
unfiltered or zero-test file on the full suite, sharded over free slot leases,
and the merge prints one MUTANTS line and the final MISSED/TIMEOUT names.
NAMES reruns chosen survivors; TEST_ARGS skips flaky tests.
Deletes ygg-verify.sh's MISSED/TIMEOUT summary grep and its inline cargo mutants
usage example; the host-mode export gains YGG_SLOTS and YGG_ROOT. Briefs and
SKILL.md name the script; the mock docker grows /cm and /out, with a fake cargo
and a fake flock for the new test-tools.sh cases.

- Agent frontmatter: hands, eyes and life default to model: sonnet, so an
omitted model can no longer spend the root's strong model. Soul and
Imagination keep inherit (operator 2026-10-03: "Soul and Imagination get the
smarter model, not Hands").
- Self output style: invoke the Eureka skill at session start and after every
/clear. A skill loads only when invoked; a session that never loaded it
dispatched every Hands on Opus.
- Rotation: the handoff carries only what the mind does not hold, and Self
rehydrates from the mind before briefing. A handoff that restated campaign
status hid that scenarios Cuts 2-4 had not landed.

The 2026-10-03 clear killed three agents that the handoff expected to survive:
commits survived on branches, two cut reports and a verdict were never admitted.
The same morning's catch-up gave the operator recommendations without options,
because it read the handoff instead of the question documents.

Slot queueing, not compilation, dominates a Soul pass. Soul now reruns

The gap table in campaign-state.md duplicated eight typed follow-ups; it now

Self's triage of Soul pass 2 on 272f5ca:
- Soul's rehydrate runs rulings in force, so standing operator directions
(including ones admitted after the spec) reach it, and it claims against
them. A verdict claim has no ruling reference, so Soul starts the claim
text with the ruling id; recorded as a substrate gap (epiphany-pipeline).
- Gaps table: a cold semantic embed exceeds the client's 15 s deadline
(Huginn, with the embedder).
- Self does not TaskStop an agent halted on Unavailable; it holds the
unadmitted record and is resumed when the organ answers.
- A fix batch's cut_report is the next attempt on the finding's in-force
cut_spec, on that spec's branch; landing elsewhere needs a revised spec
first (SKILL step 5, Hands brief).
- mutations holds survivors plus the kills Soul should rerun (at most 64);
totals go in verification evidence.
- InvalidInput and TooLarge are caller-fixable and retried after fixing
the call; only Unavailable after a retry and other errors stop.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Self's triage of Soul's first pass on hands/cut15-typed-state:
- Soul views every ruling the cut_spec cites and makes one claim per
ruling, beside the promises; Hands' self-report never bounds the pass.
- Only Self closes a finding Fixed, after a Soul pass on the fix holds.
Finding and verdict reads filter faculty Soul; faculty being
attribution-only joins a new substrate-gaps table in campaign-state.md.
- A fork before Hands' first commit ends the pass with the question
alone; the blocked-spec check reads questions raised in a spec.
- One rule for an organ that does not answer: missing tools stop, one
retry on Unavailable (admit replays are safe), then a resumable stop
that never sends the record as prose.
- Survivor triage goes in deviations, one entry per survivor, because
MutationRecord has no reason field (a recorded gap).
- The target document is written and committed before the campaign and
target cite it; Self's checklist names working_branch and target_doc.
- Operator directions are rulings with no answers and the words verbatim.
- One Rehydrate definition with a no-campaign / unknown-slug branch;
per-brief recipes; Eyes reads the mind read-only; the postmortem
template sources from the mind.

SKILL.md, briefs.md and README now route every faculty through the
instance's mind: Self calls whoami first and stops when the organ is
unreachable, admits stewardships, campaign, target and rulings;
Imagination admits questions and cut specs; Hands views its cut_spec and
admits a cut_report; Soul admits a verdict and its findings, staying
read-only on repos. Triage outcomes are resolutions and follow-ups, and
progress is a set of recipes instead of a status header. Briefs give ids
and recipe names and start with a Rehydrate block; they no longer paste
specs or rulings. "Record the substrate you needed and did not have" stays,
and its record is a follow_up. The errors-never-echo rule is unchanged.

Operator ruling, 2026-09-25: Epiphany and Aquarium call this organ Life
(role id `reorientation`), and it is "a much better fit as the actual
load-bearing organ". The eureka-site landing page already says Life.
SKILL.md (frontmatter description, faculty table, dispatch lines, step 6,
model allocation), README.md and briefs.md now say Life. The role itself is
unchanged. SKILL.md defers to global doctrine for the agent type, which the
operator owns and which still says mind-steward. Dated records keep the old
name: changelog entries as written, a note on the 2026-09-15 Epiphany
comparison, and "then called Mind Stewards" in the CultCache postmortem.

Operator direction, 2026-09-25: moderate inference spend mainly by making
cuts smaller, so each Hands agent carries less context. Sonnet degrades at
about 0.5M tokens.
SKILL.md step 3 now owns cut sizing: Self estimates the brief, the source
Hands must read, one verification and one fix round, and the item count,
treats 0.5M as the danger line, splits when the estimate passes about half
of it, and checks the reported token total afterwards. The Self-owned
clauses ("Self sizes a cut", one fix batch per file) moved out of the Hands
brief template into step 3; the Imagination template's split clause names
the budget. Section 5 no longer frames the 2026-09-23 spend as misplaced:
the operator counts it as legitimate work, the regret being the model.

From the StreamPixels transport campaign, 2026-09-23 to 2026-09-24:
- SKILL.md section 5: quota is spent through scope. One Soul gate per cut,
fix batches only for critical-path findings, and narrow passes for
small deltas.
- briefs.md: one fix batch per file (800k and 550k runs); require a
non-zero test count for each named file; a failure called
"pre-existing" still needs a one-line cause.
- changelog: the evidence, with StreamPixels commit refs.
Staged by path. The unrelated uncommitted Ghostlight hunks in briefs.md
and changelog.md are left in the working tree.

Two Hands were dispatched into one working tree. The second switched the
branch out from under the first's running build, then found an uncommitted
edit it had not made and stopped rather than forcing the checkout. Nothing was
lost because of that refusal, not because of anything Self did.
The rule was already written and Self ignored it, so the fix is not a louder
warning to Hands. A brief that names a repo path without naming a worktree is
a defect in the brief.

Two scars from one Hands report. The map it read was five days old because
Self commits maps to whatever branch it is standing on; SKILL.md now says
main, and says every brief names the map's branch.
The same agent refused a mid-task instruction from Self that it could not
distinguish from an injection. The instruction was genuine. The fix is not to
make the agent more trusting: scope expansion should arrive as a new dispatch,
not appended after a tool result.

A Mind Steward pass falsified SKILL.md's claim that the stopgap runs at most
two jobs at once. The operator raised it to three this morning and the script
carries that; SKILL.md did not. An agent steering by SKILL.md would have
under-parallelized verification and quietly contradicted an operator ruling.
The changelog's entry for the same day is worse: it records caps of 6 CPUs and
16 GiB, which match neither the script nor SKILL.md. I cannot tell whether
that was ever live. The correction says so rather than inventing a history.
Both surfaces now name ygg-verify.sh as the owner of its own numbers. Prose
that restates a running tool's configuration goes stale in silence, which is
how three surfaces disagreed inside one day.

Operator ruling 2026-09-22: better nothing than a harness that punishes
refactoring. Behavioural tests plus the ecosystem's mutation tools on a cut's

cargo-mutants instead of pwsh and is tagged by its Dockerfile's hash.

Hands and Soul measure suites with Stryker.NET, cargo-mutants, StrykerJS or
mutmut scoped to the cut's diff, and triage every survivor by name. The
hand-written anchor harness is demoted to code no tool reaches. Evidence in
the changelog: Aetheria's 23 harnesses stranded on refactors and one anchor
silently re-targeted; a Stryker spike killed everything they defended and
found the splash-handedness bug they missed.
