# Spec authoring task

[ProtocolWarden]

Auto-generated by Operations Center execution.

Goal

Spec authoring task

Write a focused improvement-campaign spec at docs/specs/queue-drain-20260602T234758.md in this repository (OperationsCenter). The spec drives a multi-task Plane campaign; keep its goals concrete and bounded.

Required output

Create exactly one file: docs/specs/queue-drain-20260602T234758.md. Do not modify any other file.

The first line of the file MUST be an HTML comment recording provenance:
<!-- generated_by_run: e84168a6-874f-426d-9a05-78c37aa7b2c3 -->

Then a YAML front-matter block in this exact format:

---
campaign_id: <UUID v4 you generate>
slug: queue-drain-20260602T234758
phases:
  - implement
  - test
  - improve
repos:
  - <one repo from the Available Repos list below>
area_keywords:
  - <directory prefix or topic keyword>
status: active
created_at: <ISO 8601 UTC timestamp>
---

Then markdown sections:

• ## Overview (2-3 sentences)
• ## Goals (numbered list of 2-4 concrete, bounded tasks; each completable in one executor run under 1 hour)
• ## Constraints (approach decisions, allowed paths, things to avoid)
• ## Success Criteria (how to know it is done)

Available Repos

• ContextLifecycle
• CoreRunner
• CritiqueExecutor
• Custodian
• CxRP
• DAGExecutor
• OperationsCenter
• OperatorConsole
• PlatformDeployment
• PlatformManifest
• ProtocolWarden
• RepoGraph
• RxP
• SourceRegistry

[ProtocolWarden]

Needs human attention (reason=no_verdict_unreviewable). Left open — not merged (unresolved) and not closed (work preserved).

Self-review produced no parseable verdict after repeated passes (likely a transient backend/rate-limit issue, or a diff too large to review). The PR is left open for human attention; automated review will retry.

[ProtocolWarden]

Stale-flag retraction (operator session, 2026-06-07 PR-history audit): the "Needs human attention" / self-review flag above was never retracted after conditions changed — this PR merged and main's CI failures of that period traced to the fleet-wide R1 detector-ID collision, fixed in #246 (main green since 2026-06-07T15:25Z). No action needed. A self-retracting-verdict improvement is queued in .console/task.md.
