Operator decision (explicit Q&A 2026-06-11): remove cap/cap_reason/capped
entirely. New formula: level = max i with rung_i==pass and all j<i in
{pass,na}. N/A no longer stops the climb (the confusing part — e.g.
non-backup-capable recipes were stuck at L2); a real FAIL still blocks.
Per-rung table + verdict carry the completeness story. Added: de-cap
implementation reqs, both-schema rendering, before/after level table for all
recipes, N/A-skip proof run, bad-canary designed-levels re-derivation under
the new formula.
New top rung after install/upgrade/backup-restore/functional: lint the exact
recipe ref under test; gap-caps per ladder semantics; verdict-neutral and
time-bounded; mirror-origin R014 plumbing must not pollute recipe lint results
(abra.py:109-114); all consumers (results/card/dashboard/badge/docs/tests)
updated; old artifacts still render. M1 = adversary-cold-verified implementation
pre-merge; M2 = real-CI proof incl. a genuine L5, a genuine lint-capped L4, and
2 drone-path runs. Recipe lint failures -> mirror PRs or DEFERRED, never merged.
Bash scripts are now one-liner wrappers: exec python3 <script>.py "$@"
All logic lives in the Python scripts (pure stdlib, no deps).
launch.py — loops + watchdog:
Full port of launch.sh: phase sequencing, start/stop/status/logs/watchdog,
handoff signalling, stall detection, heal_session, heal_orchestrator.
Cleaner structure: config block → helpers → phase/kickoff/agent/healing/
handoff/watchdog/main. LOOP_BACKEND + LOOP_MODEL switches throughout.
launch-orchestrator.py — orchestrator session:
claude path: --resume <id> preserved (conversation survives reboots).
opencode path: run --attach --title (no --resume; STARTUP_PROMPT orients
the new session; reads JOURNAL.md for context).
STARTUP_PROMPT updated to reference JOURNAL.md on startup.
launch-upgrader.py — one-shot upgrade job:
LOOP_BACKEND / LOOP_MODEL take precedence over UPGRADER_BACKEND / UPGRADER_MODEL.
Both claude and opencode paths supported.
cc-ci-plan/JOURNAL.md — new orchestrator handoff file:
Persistent across conversation resets. Documents the handoff format and
carries the current session's summary: migration complete, phase 5 in
progress (V3/V7 PASS), phase 4 deferred, open items for next session.
AGENTS.md: step 1 on startup = read JOURNAL.md; step 5 = append on handoff.
