[Phase 8] Paper Bootstrap

[jeremymanning]

Summary

Create the paper-stage Spec Kit scaffold and paper constitution.

What this phase does

Mirrors Phase 2 but for the paper-side: renders projects/<PROJ-ID>/paper/.specify/ with paper-stage constitution, scripts/, templates/.

Project lifecycle stages handled

• research_accepted
• paper_drafting_init

Dependencies

• Depends on: [Phase 7] Advancement & Verdict Routing #51
• Blocks: [Phase 9] Paper Spec → Clarify #53

Agents in this phase

• sub-issue: paper_initializer ([Agent · Phase 8] paper_initializer #77)

Manual test plan (phase-level smoke test)

1. Stage a project at the entry stage of this phase (see "stages handled" above)
2. python -m llmxive run --project <PROJ-ID> --max-tasks N (N = number of agents in this phase)
3. Verify the project transitions through every stage listed above
4. Run each agent's manual test plan (linked via the sub-issue checklist)
5. Verify state ends at the entry stage of the next phase, or human_input_needed/blocked on legitimate failure (never silently stuck)

Acceptance criteria (phase-level)

• Every agent sub-issue passes its acceptance criteria
• Phase-level smoke test passes end-to-end on a fresh project
• No silent shortcuts — agents that can't do their work MUST fail loudly (write human_input_needed.yaml or emit verdict: failed), not mark tasks [X] with placeholder content
• All artifacts written by this phase pass schema validation (where applicable)
• Run-log entries record outcome, started_at, ended_at for every agent invocation
