Life in Days - Running Log

Purpose: Append-only project journal. Each entry narrates progress since the previous entry for an AI-agent audience. Read top-to-bottom to reconstruct the project journey.

Rule: never edit or delete prior entries. Append new entries below with ## <date> headings. Corrections to earlier claims are made in the next entry, not by rewriting history.

2026-08-14 00:26 - Autonomous prototype-completeness program started

Entry author: AI agent (Codex) · Triggered by: Arun's goal to address every v5 feature-audit gap through a repeating Product Manager, UI/UX Designer, Project Manager, implementation, independent QA, and incremented-version loop without waiting for further input.

Planned since last entry

There was no prior running-log entry. The starting baseline is v5 on branch prototype/calendar-ui-v5-settings at commit f74455f. The authoritative audit is docs/audits/PROTOTYPE-V5-FEATURE-AUDIT.md, which maps all 78 PRD requirements and identifies the prototype-representable gaps. The program must preserve the explicit distinction between simulated UI evidence and backend, integration, security, recovery, provider, or production evidence.

Done

Activated the persistent Codex goal for full audit closure; no smaller completion condition is accepted.
Read the complete prototype skill and selected the UI branch because this work expands an existing interactive UI prototype.
Read the codex-project-running-log skill and created this append-only project journal at the project root under the user's explicit autonomous-write authorization.
Started fresh specialist agents for senior product management, expert UI/UX design, and project management.
Assigned the Project Manager to create docs/project/PROTOTYPE-COMPLETENESS-TRACKER.md with feature packages, version numbers, gates, dependencies, evidence, and iteration ledger.
Assigned the Product Manager to map every representable gap into a dependency-aware roadmap and acceptance criteria.
Assigned the Designer to specify the first proposed package: Search privacy and the complete deterministic lexical-search contract.

Cross-lane notes

All agents share this worktree. The Project Manager owns only the new completeness tracker during this iteration; Product and Design are read-only until their recommendations are reconciled by the primary agent.
Existing v1-v5 prototype artifacts and user-owned design decisions must remain intact. Each accepted feature package receives a new version rather than modifying a prior version in place.

Learned

V5 is a truthful, in-memory prototype and not implementation evidence.
The audit's final coverage baseline is 9 Full, 38 Partial, 7 Placeholder, 12 Missing, and 12 Outside UI; 57 requirements need additional prototype representation.
Search is the first safe, high-impact package because its query currently enters the URL and its required deterministic fields, filters, match explanations, history boundary, and exceptional states are incomplete.

Deployed / Released

Nothing deployed or published. The existing local v5 server is only a development preview.

Documents created or updated this period

Created:

RUNNING_LOG.md - append-only handoff journal for the autonomous completeness program.

Current remaining to-do

Reconcile the three specialist outputs into the authoritative tracker and version roadmap.
Create the v6 versioned prototype files and branch for Search privacy/full lexical search.
Implement all v6 Search states and interactions without changing v5 files.
Run current-run desktop and compact browser checks, then spawn a fresh QA agent.
Fix every QA finding, capture versioned evidence, update tracker/docs/log, and commit v6.
Repeat the same loop for every remaining feature package until the audit has no unaddressed prototype gap.

Open questions / decisions needed

No user decision is currently blocking autonomous progress. Product Council must resolve Timeline-versus-Almanac and visible Calendar status-label conflicts before the relevant version package; it has authority to recommend the least-divergent path while preserving explicit user decisions.

Session self-critique

The program is large; feature packages must remain independently reviewable and must not collapse many unverified flows into one version.
Static CSS or screenshots alone cannot prove responsive/accessibility behavior. Every version needs direct interaction evidence proportional to its feature.
Prototype completeness must not be described as backend, deployment, privacy, recovery, or production readiness.

Action items for the next agent

Read docs/audits/PROTOTYPE-V5-FEATURE-AUDIT.md and docs/project/PROTOTYPE-COMPLETENESS-TRACKER.md.
Confirm the active branch and clean/dirty state before editing.
Continue the currently in-progress version package; do not skip its independent QA gate.
Append a new log entry at the end after each version is QA-complete; never rewrite this entry.

State snapshot

Current phase / version: Completeness program setup; v5 audit is the baseline.
Active branch(es): prototype/calendar-ui-v5-settings
Working tree: Clean at program start; RUNNING_LOG.md newly created after the snapshot.
Deployed/runtime state: No deployment. Existing local v5 preview may be running at port 4173 but is not production evidence.
Next milestone: Council-approved v6 Search package and authoritative completeness tracker.

2026-08-14 01:05 - v6 Private Search State independently QA-passed and frozen

Entry author: AI agent (Codex) · Triggered by: completion of the first Product/Design/Project/Implementation/QA loop.

Planned since last entry

The three-role council decomposed the program into 30 stable packages from v6 through v35, with each of the 57 prototype-representable audit gaps assigned exactly once. V6 was narrowed from full lexical Search to the dependency-safe privacy correction; full Search remains v21 after History, Trash, and Suppressions.

Done

Recorded Product Council decisions C-01 through C-04 and the complete v6-v35 execution register in docs/project/PROTOTYPE-COMPLETENESS-TRACKER.md.
Created the complete v6 version set without changing v5: index-v6.html, app-v6.js, styles-v6.css, README-v6.md, council contract, handoff, current-run screenshots, and QA report.
Removed all Search-query parsing and serialization through q; incoming legacy q is ignored and stripped into a known-safe history entry.
Kept Search input only in live JavaScript memory; reload clears it while internal navigation and Back/Forward preserve it within the open page.
Replaced recent memories and suggested personal terms with a restrained, explicit current-scope explanation.
Raised essential Search metadata, stacked the compact form, removed image-overlaid result provenance, and retained external accessible provenance where interpretation changes.
Independent QA found one High issue: Enter from the Search field did not submit. The candidate gained a shared keyboard/form submission path and the same QA agent reran the full affected matrix.
Final independent QA verdict: Pass with Critical 0, High 0, Medium 0, Low 0.
Committed the immutable v6 implementation and evidence at 2c0fbf2.

Verification evidence

npm run check:v6 passed.
git diff --check passed before freeze.
Fresh, result, no-result, Clear, legacy-query, Back/Forward, reload, URL/title/history/storage, focus, console, 1280/390/320, and inherited Calendar/Almanac/Settings checks passed.
design-qa-v6.md records the independent test matrix and evidence boundary.

Learned

An ordinary form-looking control cannot be assumed keyboard-complete; direct Enter verification belongs in every form acceptance walk.
A narrow privacy correction can safely ship before its broader capability when the interface states the current scope and the tracker preserves the remaining requirement.
Current-run visual evidence must use extensions matching actual encoded bytes; the browser captures were stored as JPEG files.

Deployed / Released

Nothing deployed or published. V6 is frozen as a local, fictional-data frontend prototype only.

Current remaining to-do

Start v7 PVA-002 Calendar Contract Completion from frozen v6.
Reconcile the already-complete PM and Design contracts into a written v7 council decision.
Implement the compact month/year chooser, external Today/selected/focus states, progressive attention/provenance disclosure, and Calendar keyboard/back behavior.
Assign a fresh v7 QA agent, repair the same candidate until Pass, then freeze v7.
Continue packages v8 through v35 under the same mandatory gates.

Open questions / decisions needed

No owner decision blocks v7. Council C-01 already gives Arun's later image-only Calendar direction precedence over older overlay wording. The implementation council must choose the PM's twelve textual month buttons or the Designer's native controls; the PM's explicit acceptance contract is the default unless a compact usability conflict is demonstrated.

Action items for the next agent

Do not edit any v6 artifact.
Branch from the v6 freeze record and copy the full version set to v7.
Keep Search privacy in the regression suite.
Append, never rewrite, the next log and tracker ledger entries.

Next milestone: v7 council approval and versioned implementation candidate.

2026-08-14 02:18 - v7 Calendar Contract Completion independently QA-passed and frozen

Entry author: AI agent (Codex) · Triggered by: completion of the second Product/Design/Project/Implementation/QA loop.

Planned since last entry

Product, Design, and Project Management reconciled PVA-002 Calendar Contract Completion around Arun's approved image-only Calendar direction. Product Council retained clean cover pixels, chose an immediate-commit twelve-button month chooser, and defined distinct external Today, selection, and keyboard-focus states.

Done

Created the complete v7 version set without modifying any frozen v6 artifact: index-v7.html, app-v7.js, styles-v7.css, README-v7.md, council contract, handoff, QA record, and eight current-run captures.
Added a private-content-free month/year chooser with exactly twelve Jan–Dec buttons, draft-only year movement, safe immediate commit, explicit current/viewed semantics, focus trap/return, and honest four-digit prototype bounds.
Preserved image-only photo/artwork Calendar cells and real-photo cover precedence. Provenance, generated status, attention, and media failure remain outside pixels in safe accessible names and the Museum Margin.
Added independent external dotted Today, solid selected, and dashed keyboard-focus perimeters with semantic aria-current, aria-selected, and one roving tab stop.
Completed cross-month Arrow, Home/End, and Page Up/Down behavior; safe URL canonicalization; live month announcements; Back/Forward focus restoration; selected-day close behavior; and full Journal Day return behavior.
Added ordinary empty-month and neutral media-failure fixtures, responsive drawer/sheet focus trapping, compact paper-day treatment, and tablet/mobile stacking above bottom navigation.
Regressed the frozen v6 private Search contract, including legacy-query stripping, live-memory-only terms, generic title, Back preservation, and reload clearing.
A read-only adversarial review found and drove repairs for history, focus, invalid URL state, compact stacking, deep-link, live-region, year-edge, and ring-geometry defects before the final QA pass.
Independent QA passed the exact final hashes with Critical 0, High 0, Medium 0, and Low 0.
Committed the immutable v7 implementation and evidence at 05975fc.

Verification evidence

npm run check:v7 passed.
git diff --check passed before freeze.
Exact QA-bound SHA-256 prefixes: index 03cdafe8…, app 90f2d2b8…, CSS 0fe7faec….
Month chooser, year edges, URL/title, history/focus, keyboard, clean-tile/progressive disclosure, real-cover precedence, paper/empty/failure states, light/dark, reduced motion, console, 1280/960/700/390/320, and v6 Search regression passed.
design-qa-v7.md records the full independent test matrix and bounded evidence claims.

Learned

A polished Calendar needs history and focus to be modeled together: selected-detail close, full-day return, and cross-month keyboard navigation each exposed different stale-state risks.
A visual state can stay outside image pixels while remaining exact through layered boundaries, safe accessible names, and progressive detail disclosure.
Responsive modal semantics require more than positioning; drawer stacking, background inertness, focus trapping, breakpoint focus preservation, and bottom-navigation z-order all need direct verification.
Prototype representation limits must be named as such. The four-digit chooser boundary is not a product archive or retention limit.

Deployed / Released

Nothing deployed or published. V7 is frozen as a local, fictional-data frontend prototype only.

Current remaining to-do

Start v8 PVA-003 Cross-month Almanac from frozen v7.
Reconcile Product, Design, and Project contracts under approved Council decisions C-02 and C-03.
Implement reverse-chronological cross-month groups, deterministic Load earlier, month/year jump, stable same-day navigation, and hidden/Trash-only exclusion.
Assign a fresh v8 QA agent, repair the same candidate until Pass, and freeze v8.
Continue packages v9 through v35 under the same mandatory gates.

Open questions / decisions needed

No owner decision blocks v8. Council C-02 already adopts Monthly Almanac as the chronological Timeline experience, and C-03 preserves the approved Calendar/Almanac switcher.

Action items for the next agent

Do not edit any v7 artifact.
Branch from the v7 freeze record and copy the complete version set to v8.
Keep v6 Search privacy and v7 Calendar behavior in the regression suite.
Append, never rewrite, the next log and tracker ledger entries.

Next milestone: v8 Product/Design council and Cross-month Almanac candidate.

2026-08-14 — v8 Cross-month Almanac implementation candidate

Summary

The Product Manager, UI/UX Designer, and Project Manager council approved PVA-003 Cross-month Almanac. The candidate now extends the approved Almanac across deterministic month boundaries without adding a Timeline tab. It is not frozen and has not yet received independent QA.

Decisions and implementation

Council resolved the initial range to August 2026 only. Each explicit Load earlier days adds exactly one calendar month: empty July, then June, then May.
month is the newest safe boundary and optional through is the oldest; optional date anchors a chapter. Private text, scroll, and focus selectors never enter the URL.
The wide Almanac rail is now a collapsible cross-month index with safe month/day links rather than a duplicate mini-calendar. At 960 px and below it becomes a focus-trapped sheet.
Chapters contain one Calendar Cover, generated title/summary/tags, counts, external provenance, and Read full Journal Day. Raw source journals appear only in the canonical full-day renderer.
Real-photo cover precedence is preserved. AI/source/status/caption text remains outside image pixels.
Hidden June 20 Trash-only and May 18 history-only synthetic records are represented outside the render data and never appear in ordinary Almanac counts, DOM, accessible names, index, or targets.
Loading preserves existing content and the logical control. A local synthetic error keeps content intact and exposes Retry without duplicating months.
Jump uses the inherited four-digit year row and exactly twelve text month buttons; committing resets the loaded range to that month, including truthful empty-month states.

Current verification

npm run check:v8 passes.
git diff --check passes.
Direct browser walkthrough confirmed initial order; July zero-day load; June order 27/9; safe Back/Forward range restoration; canonical June full-day route and Back focus; twelve-button jump; empty July; failure/Retry; hidden sentinel absence; URL canonicalization; wide and 390 px layouts.
Frozen v7 core file hashes still match commit 05975fc exactly.

Evidence boundary

This is fictional-data frontend evidence only. It does not establish backend query ordering/filtering, lifecycle enforcement, server pagination, persistence, authentication, media delivery, deployment, formal accessibility conformance, or production readiness.

Next actions

Assign a fresh independent v8 QA agent against the Council contract and exact candidate bytes.
Repair every finding in the unfrozen v8 candidate and rerun affected/full checks.
Capture final current-run evidence, record exact hashes, update tracker/QA/handoff, commit, and freeze only after Pass.

2026-08-14 — v8 Cross-month Almanac independent QA Pass

Outcome

V8 independently passed with Critical 0, High 0, Medium 0, and Low 0. The allowed closure statement is limited to: LID-REF-002 prototype-represented; implementation unverified.

Final artifact identity

Any byte change to those four artifacts invalidates the QA result.

Findings repaired before Pass

Replaced private scroll/focus browser-history payloads with an opaque entryId and in-memory snapshots.
Preserved exact Almanac context across Load Back/Forward, view switches, responsive remapping, rail Hide/Show, manual/device theme changes, and full-day adjacent navigation.
Bounded ancient and distant route handling so no transition creates calendar-distance-proportional UI work.
Restored focus for drawers, dialogs, upload completion, photo view, and artwork generation states.
Corrected compact Read, Load, Retry, and archive-end controls to the 44 px minimum at 390 and 320 px.

Verification evidence

Full Council Sections 13 and 14 interaction matrix passed.
1280/960/700/390/320 layouts, no horizontal overflow, drawer behavior, reduced motion, 200% text zoom, and compact high-zoom observation passed within the documented v35 boundary.
V6 private Search and frozen v7 Calendar regressions passed; v6/v7 files remained unchanged.
npm run check:v8 and git diff --check passed; tested routes produced no console warnings or errors.
design-qa-v8.md contains the complete bounded QA record.

Deployment boundary

Nothing was deployed or published. V8 remains a local fictional-data frontend prototype and does not verify any backend, integration, persistence, authentication, accessibility-conformance, or production behavior.

Next milestone

Freeze v8 without changing the QA-bound bytes, release v9 PVA-004 First-use and Readiness, and keep every prior version immutable.

2026-08-14 — v9 First-use Readiness frozen

Outcome

V9 independently passed with Critical 0, High 0, Medium 0, and Low 0. The implementation and evidence are immutable at ae34415; the freeze record is 5a12fb2; the final tracker record is 12e5e88.

Stable feature and boundary

The default Calendar can now represent a calm empty first-use archive with five independent VoiceNotes, Telegram, AI, Backup, and Recovery Ceremony readiness lanes.
Capture remains available when AI is unavailable. Backup remains distinct from restoration, and Recovery Ceremony remains Blocked in every v9 fixture with all three prerequisites unevidenced.
A real local .txt selection can create exactly one temporary Uploaded Journal without revealing the populated regression fixture or persisting any content.
Fixture choice and Search text remain page-memory-only. No hostname, callback path, identifier, credential, recovery key, or false connection/backup/restore claim appears.
The allowed closure is limited to: First-use readiness is prototype-represented with synthetic fixtures; integrations, recovery, implementation, and operations remain unverified.

Verification and release

Frozen v6–v8 behavior, responsive widths, compact reflow observations, light/dark, reduced motion, keyboard/focus, target size, URL/title/storage privacy, syntax, console, and current-run evidence passed.
Nothing was deployed or published. V9 is a local fictional-data frontend prototype only.
V10 PVA-005 Resilient Application Shell was released from the queue after the freeze.

2026-08-14 — v10 Resilient Application Shell independent QA Pass

Outcome

Product, Design, and Project Management approved PVA-005 Resilient Application Shell. After adversarial repair and complete fresh independent QA by /root/v10_independent_qa, v10 passed with Critical 0, High 0, Medium 0, and Low 0. The implementation/evidence commit is recorded by the following freeze entry; these are the immutable QA-bound UI identities:

index-v10.html: 9a8a1da6fc00ff4f694cb00dba3f5784168ab1a9d45b16ca680c410d6d330428

Implemented and verified

Added coordinated initial loading, verified-month request/failure, partial-photo failure, persistent connection interruption, bounded unsaved Correction, session expiry/reauthentication, total/settled server failure, and explicit guarded Retry states.
Operation identities coalesce rapid repeat activation and reject stale callbacks. Month history commits once, media never duplicates, Correction stays at zero until an explicit post-reconnect Retry and then exactly one, and server recovery resolves once.
The unsaved Correction retains its draft and caret through saving/failure, guards Escape/Back/navigation/reload, and never enters URL, history payload, storage, requests, or logs.
Session and unknown/total-failure states remove private archive DOM and inherited live/toast text. Synthetic reauthentication returns only to a generic Calendar and never imitates Cloudflare login or proves authentication.
State priority prevents restored notices, connection failures, local failures, total server errors, and unsaved confirmation from exposing contradictory or competing primary actions.
Responsive and accessibility repairs include compact recovery visibility, dialog/footer reflow, orientation focus reconciliation, 44 px compact primaries, dark-theme primary contrast, and the exact 700 px journal-title boundary.
Seventeen current-run PNGs cover connection, loading, month/server/media failure, Retry phases, session/return, Correction/leave, compact and landscape states. Light/dark, reduced motion, reflow-equivalent zoom observations, semantics, keyboard/focus, privacy/network/storage, and frozen v6–v9 regressions passed.

Evidence boundary and next milestone

The only permitted closure is: The resilient application shell is prototype-represented with synthetic fixtures; connectivity, server behavior, authentication, persistence, and idempotency enforcement remain unverified. Nothing was deployed or published. V11 PVA-006 Needs Date Review is the next queued milestone after the documentation-only freeze record.

Freeze record

The immutable v10 implementation/evidence commit is ffabe0d; the documentation-only freeze record is 497c98d. Neither freeze step changed the six independently passed UI hashes. V11 is released from the queue while all of its gates remain unstarted.

2026-08-14 — Timestamped Phase 1 AI agent resource index

Outcome

Created docs/project/AI-AGENT-RESOURCE-INDEX-2026-08-14-15-10-39-IST.md as a comprehensive, timestamped orientation snapshot for future AI agents.

Coverage and verification

Added the authority order, privacy/evidence boundary, recommended boot sequence, GitHub repository and private-Project resources, Project field/view model, P0/R0–R10 milestones, and a complete 58-task navigation table.
Indexed all 255 publication-candidate resources exactly once: 90 Markdown and 165 non-Markdown files, including 117 images.
Reconciled all task rows to the canonical roadmap manifest and public issue map: 40 Backlog, 4 Next, 1 In progress, and 13 Done.
Resolved all 620 local links in the new index and all repository-wide relative Markdown links and anchors.
Added discovery links in README.md and docs/INDEX.md.

Evidence boundary

The index is an orientation snapshot, not a product decision or implementation claim. Current source documents and live GitHub evidence remain authoritative, and status-sensitive facts must be refreshed after the filename timestamp.

2026-08-14 — Wayfinder Phase 1 adoption research

Outcome

Created docs/research/WAYFINDER-PHASE1-GITHUB-INTEGRATION-RESEARCH.md as a deep, source-grounded assessment of how the explicitly invoked Wayfinder skill could support Phase 1.

Recommendation

Adopt Wayfinder conditionally as a release-scoped decision-readiness layer, not as a replacement for the 58-task roadmap or as an implementation engine.
Begin with a maximum two-week R0 pilot only if charting exposes genuine unresolved decision fog.
Preserve the roadmap manifest and governing product/design/architecture artifacts as authoritative.
Before any live pilot, narrow the sync-owned delivery views and auto-add boundary to label:phase1, keep decision issues out of Project #1, audit shared close/status workflows, and revalidate the exact 58-task projection.
Expand only through just-in-time maps for uncertainty-heavy R5–R7 decisions or trigger-activated R10.

Evidence boundary

The research inspected the installed skill, current project artifacts, live GitHub state read-only, the upstream skill source, and GitHub-owned capability documentation. No Wayfinder issues, labels, relationships, views, automation, or other live GitHub state were created or changed.

Validation

All 152 local Markdown-link occurrences across the report and updated navigation files resolve.
All 22 public external report links returned successfully; the private Project link was verified through authenticated read-only access.
Whitespace and public-safety scans passed with no local paths, private Project node identifiers, credential-like strings, or task/session UUIDs in the changed files.

2026-08-14 — Living roadmap and Excel agent contract

Outcome

Created root-level AGENTS.md as the repository-wide operating contract for every AI agent that changes Phase 1 delivery state.

Contract

Requires every accepted roadmap change to reconcile the governing evidence, editable manifest generator, generated JSON and Markdown plans, GitHub issues and Project when authorized, public issue map, seven-sheet Excel release plan, and running log in the same change.
Defines the exact status/evidence policy, dry-run-first commands, least-expansive live-sync modes, workbook regeneration and visual/formula checks, read-only GitHub reconciliation, R10 date invariant, and definition of complete.
Corrects the GitHub sync runbook's primary apply example and records the current open-first, evidence-link, live-verifier, issue-identity, workbook-coverage, and generated-date limitations with fail-closed compensating controls.
Records the current broad-view and Project auto-workflow contamination hazard and prohibits unrelated or Wayfinder issue creation until the delivery boundary is hardened or isolated.
Preserves explicit authorization, public-repository privacy, truthful implementation/deployment claims, and partial-failure recovery boundaries.

Evidence boundary

This change adds documentation and navigation only. It does not modify the roadmap manifest, GitHub issues, Project fields/views/workflows, Excel workbook, application code, infrastructure, or deployment state.

2026-08-14 19:16 — Autonomous P0-to-production Codex Goal prompt prepared

Outcome

Created docs/project/CODEX-GOAL-PROMPT-P0-TO-PRODUCTION.md as a copy-ready Goal for a future Codex agent. The stored artifact is a template only: this documentation task did not activate the Goal or begin Phase 1 implementation.

Scope decision

Defined P0 as the 71 launch-blocking PRD requirements delivered through P0/R0–R9, not only the completed two-task P0 planning milestone and not only roadmap tasks whose Priority field is High.
Kept the canonical baseline at 58 tasks: 55 P0/R0–R9 work packages and three conditional R10 tasks. R10 remains date-free unless its measured trigger is approved.
Preserved the seven deferred P3/P4 requirement IDs outside R0–R9.
Required truthful production completion through R9 owner UAT, Recovery Ceremony, immutable seven-day observation, and final human proceed authority; the Goal cannot simulate those acts.

Goal operating contract

Requires the new agent to remain in the current Phase 1 worktree, preserve existing unpublished commits, read the complete authority/context sequence, and refresh live facts before acting.
Creates a five-seat execution council for Technical Architecture, Product Management, independent QA, UI/UX Design, and Project Management, with role charters, stable execution artifacts, vetoes, and wave-based scheduling when concurrency is limited.
Delegates routine R0–R8 decisions to the council while retaining non-delegable owner actions and a consolidated public-safe Owner Action Ledger.
Defines the R0–R9 implementation, evidence, deployment, recovery, rollback, and release loop, plus the early-hard-trigger versus normal post-R9 branches for R10.
Makes the GitHub issues/Project roadmap, Markdown plan, issue map, seven-sheet Excel workbook, Wiki, and running log synchronized living projections under AGENTS.md.
Requires Project workflow snapshots/rollback, repeatable remote-main-pinned Wiki publication, private deployment authority before any private infrastructure read/write, AI-blind authentic-media handling, and a private credential-incident ladder.
Gives standing authorization for direct append-only use of the codex-project-running-log skill at release events and at least every 45 minutes when material state changes.

Independent review and verification

A cold-reader agent, an adversarial authorization/safety agent, and an independent document validator returned final GO verdicts with no remaining P0/P1/P2 findings after revisions.
Validated 176 Markdown destinations across the prompt and navigation edits: 169 local and seven external, with zero missing local targets.
Reconciled the manifest to 12 releases, 58 tasks, 55 P0/R0–R9 work packages, 71 active requirements, seven deferred requirements, and null R10 dates.
Verified balanced Markdown fences, unique headings, final newline, no trailing whitespace, and syntax-clean roadmap, GitHub-sync, and Wiki generator scripts.
The frozen v10 prototype syntax check passed from prototypes/calendar-ui. An initial root-level npm invocation correctly exposed that the repository root has no package.json; validation was rerun from the actual prototype package.
The protected changed-content scan found no absolute local path, task/session identifier, private Project node identifier, credential-like value, or private-key marker.

Evidence and external-state boundary

No roadmap status, manifest task, GitHub issue, Project item/field/view/workflow, Excel workbook, Wiki page, application code, infrastructure, credential, deployment, or production state changed. The three documentation files and this append are local and awaiting the scoped local commit at this entry.

Next action

Validate the complete staged candidate and create the local documentation commit. The Product Owner may then copy the prompt's Goal section into a new Codex Goal when ready; no Goal was started by this task.

2026-08-14 21:09 IST — P0 task-readiness control candidate assembled

Outcome

Resumed the now-active autonomous Goal after Arun's explicit pause/resume and assembled a local P0 execution-control candidate. The candidate installs a task-specific Product Council Definition of Ready before any engineering implementation can start. It does not approve implementation: all 58 task dossiers remain Incomplete, all 58 remain on Hold, and executionAllowed is false for every task.

Council and task controls

Added the execution Council charter, authorization record, decision log, context digest, owner-action ledger, QA seat, P0 control review, and task Definition of Ready under P0-prefixed filenames.
Added canonical task-state, readiness-override, and artifact-register JSON controls.
Generated six P0-prefixed draft artifacts for each of the 58 existing roadmap tasks: Product PRD, technical plan, design spec, QA plan, delivery checklist, and Council readiness decision. The 348 artifacts are drafts, not specialist approvals.
Made generation non-destructive by default: existing specialist-authored content is preserved, draft replacement requires explicit --refresh-drafts, and non-draft artifacts are never overwritten by refresh.
Added a fail-closed validator for task/artifact identity, paths, hashes, scenario coverage, Council verdicts, private-authority requirements, health states, R4 conflict outcomes, R10 date invariants, and authentic-media boundaries.
Extended the GitHub dry-run projection so each existing issue carries its task-specific DoR table and six exact artifact links, while the Roadmap projection manages 17 task-bound fields. No live issue, Project, view, or workflow state has been changed yet.

Product and UX reconciliation

Standardized the three R4 conflict outcomes to keep the Correction, display the newest upstream revision, or create a new Correction based on both.
Standardized durable health states to unknown, never run, success, delayed, failed, and blocked; recovery verified remains evidence detail rather than a health state.
Reconciled the Monthly Almanac as the sole chronological browsing destination, retained the Calendar/Almanac switcher near Search, kept management under Settings/More, and removed any persistent Calendar status overlay requirement.
Preserved the privacy contract: R0 remains synthetic-only, R1 is the first authentic-text gate with consent, and authentic photos or photo-derived data remain structurally excluded from AI.

Workbook evidence

Regenerated outputs/phase1/Life-in-Days-Phase1-Release-Plan.xlsx and the P0-prefixed review copy at outputs/P0-review-20260814-2106/P0-Life-in-Days-Phase1-Release-Plan.xlsx from the same in-memory workbook.
The two workbooks are byte-identical with SHA-256 6630f1a50a4b657ed8a3f94e67160283c5f209e23be9a6c2417175239c37c708.
Verified seven sheets, 58 unique canonical issue URLs, 348 task artifact projections, 78 requirements, all seven explicit deferrals, three blank-date R10 tasks, zero execution-authorized tasks, zero formula errors, and a healthy XLSX archive.
Visually reviewed 20 rendered regions covering every row of every worksheet. The task, readiness, release, traceability, risk, and trigger-only states are legible and consistent with the manifest.

Evidence and external-state boundary

All substantive changes in this entry are local to the Phase1 project folder. Read-only GitHub/Wiki inspection was used where needed. No GitHub issue, Project field, view, workflow, Wiki page, infrastructure, provider, credential, authentic memory, application runtime, deployment, or production state was mutated. Deployment remains exactly Unknown — private read authority pending.

Owner information needed later

No owner input is required to finish the local/public P0 control package or prepare the existing-issue projection. Before later gated work, the owner must provide private deployment authority, the approved workflow-capture attestation needed before non-delivery/workflow mutation, an approved secret-delivery mechanism, and the release-specific consent/authentication/provider/spend/UAT/recovery decisions named in the Owner Action Ledger. Secrets must not be posted in tickets, documents, or chat.

Next action

Prove deterministic Wiki generation against the current live Wiki snapshot, run the complete local control suite, obtain fresh Product, Architecture, Design, independent QA, and Delivery verdicts on this exact candidate, then publish through a reviewed branch/PR before any issue or Roadmap synchronization. R0 implementation remains prohibited until its own task-specific dossier reaches Council Ready.

2026-08-14 21:40 IST — P0 Design veto remediated and approval gate hardened

Outcome

Fresh UI/UX review held the first P0 candidate because R4 still retained conflict-suggestion language, Calendar/Almanac guidance still contained rail/badge/Timeline contradictions, the Health Status Card inventory omitted exact states, and the validator did not machine-enforce task-level Design or individual council approvals. The local candidate was corrected; it has not yet received final five-seat acceptance or been published.

Corrective changes

Replaced R4 conflict-suggestion persistence with the exact recorded three-choice model: keep the Correction, display the newest upstream revision, or create a new Correction based on both.
Removed stale user-facing Timeline, persistent-navigation-rail, and Calendar overlay-badge instructions; standardized the public chronological surface and API contract on Monthly Almanac.
Made the Health Status Card inventory enumerate Unknown, Never verified, Healthy, Attention — delayed, Failed, and Blocked, with Not configured separate.
Added structured six-artifact reviews, exact candidate revision and dossier digest binding, five named council-seat verdicts, task-bound journey/state/accessibility scenario coverage, specialist-concurred Architecture/Design not-applicable handling, published-revision/blob verification, and an opaque private-authority evidence reference gate.
Adopted a non-self-referential sequence: six stable artifacts form candidate commit C; external attestations bind C and its digest; a later registry commit records those attestations without modifying the six artifacts.
Refreshed only the 348 artifacts still marked draft. A subsequent default generator run preserved all 348, proving that non-draft protection and the normal create-missing path remain intact.

Validation and projections

The execution-control validator passes with 78 requirements, 71 active, seven deferred, 58 tasks, 348 draft artifacts, 58 Incomplete dossiers, zero Ready, zero execution-authorized, and blank R10 dates.
The GitHub dry run parses at 598,245 bytes and contains 58 task markers, 58 named artifact-review tables, 58 five-seat records, 58 structured Design-assurance sections, and 58 Execution allowed: No projections.
The seven-sheet workbook was regenerated from the revised manifest. The P0 review copy and grandfathered canonical copy are byte-identical at SHA-256 bf243b130813c775f6c18519b16146531d8365c4c1d9a03a52ddccc562938d21; 58 issue URLs, zero Ready/allowed tasks, three blank-date R10 tasks, 20 rendered regions, and zero formula errors remain asserted.

Evidence and external-state boundary

All changes remain local to the Phase1 project folder. No GitHub issue, Project field/view/workflow, Wiki page, private system, provider, authentic content/media, deployment, or production state was changed. Deployment remains exactly Unknown — private read authority pending; every implementation task remains on Hold.

Next action

Freeze a new exact candidate, obtain fresh Product, Design, Architecture, independent QA, and Project Manager publication verdicts on that candidate, then use the reviewed PR sequence before any live issue, Roadmap, or Wiki synchronization.

2026-08-14 21:56 IST — Five-seat P0 publication review passed

Outcome

Product Management, UI/UX Design, Technical Architecture, independent QA, and Project Management each returned Go for publishing exact candidate 1391bea9abcc899aefcad446324d7c0a2b0199c2 as the P0 control package only. The control review now records that five-seat result and permits the normal branch/PR/check/merge publication sequence. This acceptance does not approve any task: all 348 artifacts remain draft, all 58 dossiers remain Incomplete/Hold, and executionAllowed remains false for every task.

Verified publication boundary

Product confirmed 78 requirements, 71 active, the exact seven deferrals, all 58 task Product artifacts, exact R4 outcomes, Health/Almanac truth, and owner gates.
Design confirmed all four prior vetoes cleared and the named exact-revision review, five-seat, structured journey/state/accessibility, and specialist-concurred not-applicable controls present.
Architecture confirmed the non-self-referential candidate/registry model, dossier digest, published-commit/artifact-byte checks, generator preservation, workbook/Wiki repeatability, and private-authority reference gate.
Independent QA reran CI-equivalent checks, generator preservation, the 598,245-byte GitHub dry run, workbook/Wiki checks, prefix validation, and protected public-safety scans.
Project Management reconciled 58 tasks/issues/items, 348 artifacts, 93 dependency edges, status/date counts, workbook/running-log parity, mutation order, rollback, and two-pass quiescent verification.

External-state boundary

Repository publication and live synchronization have not occurred at this entry. Live verification still has the expected 660 pre-sync differences; the two Project views still use the broad issue filter. No private system, workflow, authentic content/media, deployment, or production state was accessed or changed. No owner input is required for public P0 publication or synchronization of the existing 58 delivery issues.

Next action

Rerun the complete control suite after this attestation-only delta, commit and publish through a reviewed PR, prove a clean fetched remote-main checkout, then stage both views, issue/Project synchronization, two parity passes, and Wiki publication. Keep every task implementation blocked.

2026-08-14 23:35 IST — P0 controls published and live planning surfaces reconciled

Entry author: AI agent (Codex) · Triggered by: Arun's explicit Resume after pausing at the post-merge, post-Project-field/view checkpoint.

Planned since last entry

Complete the already accepted P0 control-package publication without beginning implementation: verify the reviewed commit on remote main, synchronize only the existing 58 delivery issues, require two quiescent zero-drift checks, publish the cumulative Wiki from the exact merged source, and record public-safe evidence. Preserve the fail-closed state for every task and leave private-system work behind its named owner gate.

Done

Confirmed the clean publication worktree, fetched origin/main, and remote main all resolve to merge commit dbd497b496c0bfb982d67a61d6b93ab29d7c59ad; reviewed P0 head a3701d2d3e14d7c87b39f9c30a26a03d098292cf is its ancestor. PR #64 is merged with successful checks.
Verified the resumed pre-sync drift was exactly 62 items: 58 issue bodies, two issue titles, and the two corresponding Project titles. The already-applied Project field/view stage remained correct.
Reviewed the issue-only dry run, then ran node tools/sync_phase1_github.mjs --apply --issues-only without --close-done. The operation updated 58 existing issue projections, created no issue, changed no issue state, and left the public issue map unchanged.
Confirmed issue state remains 45 open / 13 closed, every issue has five expected labels and six task-bound P0 dossier links, all 12 milestone assignments match, and only #22 and #24 changed from Timeline to Almanac.
Confirmed Project status remains 40 Backlog / 4 Next / 1 In progress / 13 Done. Independent Project Management repeated all 986 managed field comparisons, view/grouping checks, readiness checks, and issue/milestone checks read-only and returned Go.
Ran two live --verify snapshots with a 15-second quiescent interval. Both returned passed: true, mismatchCount: 0, and are byte-identical at SHA-256 4f94bf15d12ef1bfbdb2eda1679ec1ae836d301af8ef74109e5c6e67c1c2ccfc.
Built the Wiki twice from merged source dbd497b496c0bfb982d67a61d6b93ab29d7c59ad and the complete prior Wiki clone. Both 455-page candidates were byte-identical, mapped all 449 Markdown sources exactly once, and found no live-only page to preserve.
Published Wiki commit 29562d6863eadc61ac8e2e2fcf3bece7f1ceffdb normally on master, without force. A fresh clone verified the remote head, clean tree, 455 pages, Home, Documentation Index, Page Audit, and Page Audit SHA-256 97277551604f8f837b855d42372c9628ce1d0fe8b935941d797488a2c540090b.
Updated the P0 execution-control review and GitHub Project sync runbook with the actual merge, staged mutation, parity, Wiki, failure/recovery, and evidence-boundary facts on branch codex/p0-publication-evidence.

Cross-lane notes

The existing 58 delivery issues and two canonical Project views were the only live planning surfaces changed. No workflow, non-delivery issue, draft item, private system, credential, authentic content, application runtime, infrastructure, or deployment was touched.
All 348 task artifacts remain Draft, all 58 dossiers remain Incomplete/Hold, and executionAllowed remains false for every task. The historical In progress roadmap status for SPK-R0-001 is not implementation authorization.

Learned

The first Status-view apply attempt before the pause failed before mutation because seven target fields did not yet exist. Populating Project fields first with --project-only --skip-views, then applying each view separately, was the safe recovery and should remain the standard order for a fresh Project.
Issue state and Project status are separate mutation planes. Omitting --close-done preserved the reviewed 45/13 split while still refreshing issue bodies, labels, milestones, and non-Done open state idempotently.
The generated Wiki index is Documentation-Index.md, not Page-Index.md; an initial fresh-clone assertion used the wrong expected filename, failed without mutation, and passed after checking the generated file set.
A zero-mismatch verifier snapshot is useful but insufficient alone for a stability claim; two byte-identical snapshots after a quiescent interval, plus an independent Project Manager read, provide the bounded planning-parity evidence used here.

Deployed / Released

Repository P0 control package: merged through PR #64 at dbd497b496c0bfb982d67a61d6b93ab29d7c59ad.
GitHub planning projection: 58 existing issues, 58 issue-backed Project items, 17 managed fields per task, and both canonical saved views reconciled with zero verifier drift.
Wiki: published on master at 29562d6863eadc61ac8e2e2fcf3bece7f1ceffdb from merged source dbd497b496c0bfb982d67a61d6b93ab29d7c59ad.
No application, infrastructure, private integration, recovery process, or production release was deployed.

Documents created or updated this period

Updated:

docs/council/execution/releases/P0-P0-EXECUTION-CONTROL-REVIEW.md — changed the bounded P0 disposition from accepted/pending to published with exact live evidence.
docs/project/PHASE1-GITHUB-PROJECT-SYNC.md — recorded the staged apply sequence, recovery, final counts, two-pass parity, and completed saved-view containment.
RUNNING_LOG.md — appended this publication and reconciliation handoff without changing prior bytes.

Current remaining to-do

Complete independent Product, Project Management, and publication-safety review of the evidence-only diff, run the complete static-control suite, then publish the evidence branch through a second reviewed PR.
After that evidence PR merges, regenerate and republish the Wiki once from the final merge commit so Page Audit points at final main; verify the remote Wiki head and page set without making another repository edit.
Before any task can become Ready, harden the readiness control debts already identified: symmetric derived Artifact readiness, synthetic positive/negative execution fixtures, approval-registry current-checkout/merged-state checks, unique role-bound attestations, stronger private-authority evidence semantics, and generator protection for externally approved artifacts.
Run the task-specific R0 Council readiness wave only after those gate controls pass. Do not implement SPK-R0-001, ENG-R0-001, or another R0 task until its six artifacts and five seats approve one exact revision and the manifest records executionAllowed=true.

Open questions / decisions needed

No owner input is needed for the remaining public P0 evidence publication. P0-OA-001 is still required before any private-system read in the later R0 lane; credentials must use an approved private delivery mechanism and must not appear in issues, documents, logs, or chat.
P0-OA-002 remains required before any future non-delivery issue or Project workflow mutation. The current work deliberately did not cross that boundary.

Session self-critique

The first view apply should have been preceded by field-existence reconciliation; the failed pre-mutation attempt was harmless but avoidable. The runbook now records the corrected order.
Parity JSON is retained only as sanitized temporary execution evidence; the canonical repository record stores its timestamp, size, hash, and result rather than the transient file itself.
The Wiki will temporarily reference the first merged publication source until the evidence PR merges and the final one-way Wiki refresh completes. Do not call that final source alignment complete before the second Wiki verification.

Action items for the next agent

On codex/p0-publication-evidence, inspect the specialist verdicts, run git diff --check, node tools/P0-validate-execution-controls.mjs, the default GitHub dry run, the live read-only verifier, syntax checks, link/public-safety checks, and a deterministic Wiki build from the candidate commit.
Commit, push, open a draft PR, require the Phase 1 static controls to pass, mark ready, and merge with a merge commit.
Fetch the final origin/main, build the Wiki from that exact merge plus the complete current Wiki clone, publish normally without force, and verify fresh-clone Home/Documentation Index/Page Audit/source SHA.
Keep every implementation lane blocked while clearing the readiness-control debts and obtaining task-specific Council decisions.

State snapshot

Current phase / version: P0 execution-control package published; live issue/Project parity and first Wiki publication verified; evidence-only reconciliation in progress.
Active branch: codex/p0-publication-evidence from dbd497b496c0bfb982d67a61d6b93ab29d7c59ad.
Working tree: Expected dirty only for the two evidence documents and this append until reviewed and committed.
Deployed/runtime state: No application deployment. Deployment remains Unknown — private read authority pending. GitHub planning surfaces and Wiki only are published.
Next milestone: Merge the evidence-only PR, align the Wiki to that final merge, then harden task readiness before any R0 implementation.

2026-08-14 23:40 IST — Correction: Project task-readiness fields were also live-mutated

Entry author: AI agent (Codex) · Triggered by: independent Project Manager review of the 23:35 publication entry.

Correction

The 23:35 Cross-lane note said the existing 58 delivery issues and two canonical Project views were the only live planning surfaces changed. That sentence underreported the completed Project stage. The P0 live reconciliation also created or populated the required task-readiness fields across all 58 issue-backed Project items, producing 986 verified managed values: 17 fields for each task. No prior log text was rewritten; this entry corrects the record append-only.

The exact live mutation boundary was:

the existing 58 delivery issue projections, with 45 open / 13 closed preserved;
the 17 managed task fields across the existing 58 issue-backed Project items; and
the filters/configuration of the two existing canonical Phase 1 views.

No Project workflow, issue state, non-delivery issue, private system, credential, authentic content, application runtime, infrastructure, or deployment was changed.

Current-truth reconciliation

Updated AGENTS.md to record that saved-view narrowing is complete while workflow containment remains unreadable/unapproved and therefore fail-closed.
Updated docs/project/PROJECT-TRACKER.md to record published P0 controls, reconciled planning surfaces, the evidence/readiness-hardening phase, and the continuing implementation Hold.
Updated docs/INDEX.md to distinguish the package-level Published disposition from all 58 task-level Holds.
Classified docs/council/execution/P0-PHASE1-CONTEXT-DIGEST.md explicitly as the historical 19:51 pre-publication snapshot rather than current evidence.

State snapshot

Current phase / version: P0 controls published; live issue, 17-field Project, saved-view, and first-Wiki reconciliation verified; evidence-only PR preparation continues.
Execution authority: 58 Incomplete/Hold, zero Ready, zero executionAllowed; no implementation authorized.
Next milestone: Obtain renewed independent GO on the reconciled diff, publish the evidence PR, then align the Wiki once to final main.

2026-08-14 23:44 IST — Correction: exact review provenance and Wiki terminology

Entry author: AI agent (Codex) · Triggered by: independent Product and publication-safety review of the evidence record.

Corrections

The 23:35 entry called a3701d2d3e14d7c87b39f9c30a26a03d098292cf the reviewed P0 head. Exact five-seat review binds candidate 1391bea9abcc899aefcad446324d7c0a2b0199c2; PR #64 has no native GitHub review objects. PR #64 published sibling head a3701d2d3e14d7c87b39f9c30a26a03d098292cf. A tree comparison shows that the published head differs from the five-seat-reviewed candidate only in RUNNING_LOG.md and docs/council/execution/releases/P0-P0-EXECUTION-CONTROL-REVIEW.md, which carry the append-only log and final attestation record. The 348 task artifacts and other control bytes match the reviewed candidate.
References in the 23:35 entry to the “first Wiki publication” or “first-Wiki reconciliation” mean the P0 Wiki refresh. A prior 96-page Wiki already existed at 0e0b7276a9b0d907bdc0050ad4bbf6f14eab0ecf; the P0 refresh advanced it to the verified 455-page commit 29562d6863eadc61ac8e2e2fcf3bece7f1ceffdb.
The two mismatchCount: 0 snapshots verify repository issues and GitHub Project state. Wiki publication is separate evidence established by the normal Wiki push and fresh-clone verification; it is not part of the issue/Project verifier.
PR #64 changed the repository static-controls CI workflow. The unchanged-workflow claim is limited to GitHub Project automation workflows/rules during live reconciliation, which were not mutated.

No prior log text was changed. The current package/task boundary remains unchanged: P0 package Published; 58 task dossiers Incomplete/Hold; zero Ready; zero executionAllowed; no implementation, private-system read, authentic-media processing, deployment, or production claim.

2026-08-15 00:53 IST — PC-001 readiness-hardening plan receives exact R3 five-seat approval

Entry author: AI agent (Codex) · Triggered by: the owner requirement that every implementation task have task-bound Product, Architecture, Design, QA, Delivery, and Council artifacts before work begins.

Planned since last entry

Use existing governance task PC-001 and issue #3 rather than creating a 59th task. Define a fail-closed readiness-control hardening slice, obtain Product Council approval on one exact six-artifact candidate, merge that planning packet through Gate A, and only then begin local/public control implementation on a separate branch and PR. Private-system reads, authentic content/media, R0 feature work, deployment, status churn, and Project workflow mutation remain outside this planning slice.

Done

Authored the six task-bound, P0-prefixed PC-001 planning artifacts covering Product, Technical Architecture, Design, QA, Delivery, and Council readiness. They remain In review; the task remains Incomplete and executionAllowed=false.
Reconciled the plan to a single derived fail-closed evaluator; positive and one-gate-negative fixtures; candidate, approval-record, and exact-clean-main activation phases; stable role-bound reviewer identities and QA independence; structured owner-action/private-authority evidence; atomic protected draft refresh; value-only mapping across the existing 17 Project fields; rollback; privacy sentinels; and post-merge reconciliation.
Rejected candidate 7d64fa1a54a37e056c1e0f9f34dba0c48cc0f4d1 after Design found unmapped machine coverage, an obsolete artifact-state oracle, and an incomplete Project value mapping. A provisional digest built from filename keys was also discarded before approval.
Superseded the five-seat-approved R2 candidate 8bbd52d61f6955ad4a96a7d16a1a5e8e8c1ee37f after two isolated workbook exports proved that packaging-only OOXML relationship IDs can differ without semantic drift.
Defined the corrected R3 artifact-specific determinism boundary: JSON/Markdown controls, sync payloads, and Wiki trees are byte-stable; canonical/review workbook copies from one export have equal hashes; isolated workbook builds must match all sheets, used cells, formulas, links, counts, R10 blanks, and 20 rendered ranges.
Validated exact clean candidate d44dbfbc8d040baddf46b7288476d4dc53c81e8c with canonical dossier digest sha256:32deebe971b1321a7ccd4203d4c861d93c4ec3d45ba3bf4c9fab2ea048b9eaed.
Received fresh exact-candidate approvals from Product (codex-agent:pc001-plan-product-r3-20260815), Design (codex-agent:pc001-plan-design-r3-20260815), Architecture (codex-agent:pc001-plan-architecture-r3-20260815), Independent QA (codex-agent:pc001-plan-qa-r3-20260815), and Project/Delivery (codex-agent:pc001-plan-project-r3-20260815). No planning-scope veto remains.

QA and artifact boundary

Static validation passes with 78 requirements, 71 active, the exact seven deferred, 58 tasks, status distribution 40 Backlog / 4 Next / 1 In progress / 13 Done, 342 Draft artifacts, six In-review artifacts, 58 Incomplete tasks, zero Ready, and zero execution-authorized.
Independent workbook visual QA separately remains Hold: long Requirement Map mappings are clipped, task-detail continuation renders are too small and lack repeated title/header context, and the Review Guide preview lacks its title. Planning approval accepts the repair/test contract, not the current workbook.
Deployment remains Unknown — private read authority pending; authentic-media access remains false.

Current remaining to-do

Commit the R3 five-seat review record and source projections without publishing the held workbook.
Push a draft Gate A planning PR, pass repository controls, review, and merge the unchanged R3 artifact bytes.
From exact merged origin/main, implement the bounded local/public readiness controls and workbook render repairs on a separate Gate B branch.
Execute the complete PC-001-CTL-P01, P02, N01..N07, R01, R02, and S01 matrix, including independent visual QA.
Obtain fresh five-seat approval on the exact implementation candidate before merge, then reconcile issue #3, existing Project values, workbook, Wiki, append-only log, and two quiescent verifier snapshots.

Open questions / owner actions

No owner input is required for Gate A or the later local/public control-hardening implementation. P0-OA-001 still blocks every private-system read, and all later credential, provider, spend, deployment, recovery-material, or authentic-memory acts remain separately gated.

State snapshot

Active branch: codex/p0-readiness-hardening-plan, three planning commits ahead of origin/main before the attestation commit.
Planning decision: exact R3 packet approved by all five seats; merge required before code.
Workbook evidence: visual QA Hold; not accepted for publication evidence.
Runtime/deployment: no application code, R0 feature, private read, authentic-media processing, infrastructure change, deployment, or release occurred.

2026-08-15 07:21 IST — PC-001 readiness controls approved, merged, and reconciled

Entry author: AI agent (Codex) · Triggered by: Arun's requirement that Product Council approve task-bound requirements and all Product, Architecture, Design, QA, Delivery, Council, issue, Roadmap, workbook, Wiki, and running-log evidence remain synchronized before implementation.

Planned since last entry

Complete the previously approved PC-001 Gate A planning packet, implement only the bounded local/public fail-closed control slice, obtain five fresh exact-candidate Gate B seats, publish through the audit-only registry and a normal merge, and reconcile only the existing 58 issue/Roadmap projections. Keep every delivery task on Hold and keep private-system reads, authentic media, R0 application work, credentials, deployment, release, and production outside the slice.

Done

Merged the five-seat-approved Gate A planning packet through PR #66 at 2fc31ec905f4c664b86bebdc511a87390a24a4e9 before beginning implementation.
Implemented the bounded control slice as exact candidate 946a36e2e68796f4c7a0cd2156103fbd1416302d, a direct child of Gate A with 39 changed paths, five closed publication exclusions, and 34 exact task-file bindings: 27 implementation, six task artifacts, and one workbook evidence file.
Bound that candidate to task-files SHA-256 3272111f05758075cb5de0f42d05b94498d0c4eeca6f044e2d083fa7d2dcc448, task-contract SHA-256 e53cc0fec7340946991c0e5e765b56bf548e74ac49bf80a76579ea25c6647730, canonical dossier sha256:1facc3894f745ab695d52d61fb034f6c7c42ae82cc810d0778095d4e28787dd6, and review context 8efcd458442920dc0a9f050c691d677ec2c811e502dfb9555ae0c6c393a198b8.
Received fresh exact-candidate approvals with no vetoes from Product Management, UI/UX Design, Technical Architecture, independent QA, and Project Management. Each seat approved only normal merge and local/public control reconciliation; none approved task execution.
Published the attestations in audit-only registry commit 6bf7da157220f59cb0fab6e07d0bf783e8b4265b. The registry keeps taskApprovals.PC-001 absent and executionAllowed=false, so the control review cannot be used as a delivery-task approval.
Merged PR #67 normally at 0694e7ad548d15132171d7c910ce35d8bc05a4bc, preserving the exact candidate and later registry commits in history. Required repository checks passed.
Ran the exact-main existing-only GitHub reconciliation. Canonical delta digest sha256:2b34c39c849ced1b92c79d77762fc000ab66ed1884f93592ed4b1a52a36f648e covered 58 issue-body changes and 174 Project-value changes only. The operation created nothing, changed no issue state/status/label/milestone, changed no field/view/workflow definition, and did not rewrite the public issue map.
Confirmed built-in post-apply parity, then ran two separate quiescent read-only verifier snapshots. Both bind merged source 0694e7ad548d15132171d7c910ce35d8bc05a4bc, return passed: true with zero mismatches, and are byte-identical at SHA-256 2e3cc06bac969760809a12e4aef28d1e3fcb082207139fc5efa0c12b77bbe710.
Built the Wiki twice from exact merged source plus a complete prior Wiki clone. The 456-file trees were byte-identical. Published Wiki commit 25f438faa2adc57d42f62ef139a9f615de57af99 normally, then cloned it afresh and proved a clean exact match, 450/450 Markdown-source mappings, zero live-only pages, and Page Audit SHA-256 e0799bf18967e9c264547f729de4daf6e8a84d7ca8582d24a9ad0a1304b8a8b7.

QA and artifact evidence

Readiness fixtures passed 341/341; audit-control history fixtures 35/35; exact-start verifier self-tests 62/62; GitHub sync tests 48/48; generated tracking covered all 352 canonical paths; the structural validator passed the exact all-Hold baseline.
The default generators were run twice with zero second-pass drift, and two GitHub dry runs were byte-identical at 832,529 bytes and SHA-256 eeceaf5170f36a23c573fd807dc7cd279aebc49855a7a86a194e125e92162ba6.
The r14 review workbook and grandfathered canonical copy remain byte-identical at SHA-256 d8b21f955366a516bca0b0961b941b3f76c84b5aa2e9406e3740005ca7547994; Review Guide binds raw manifest SHA-256 65060d958a3ac35e312112b180ffc2b7543f63dd02e1d346574c6804f0b64942.
Independent workbook QA checked all 20 renders plus archive structure and semantics: seven sheets, 58 unique tasks and issue URLs, 78 requirements, 2,009 formulas with zero errors, exact blank R10 dates/no bars, and no clipping, corruption, unsafe package part, external relationship, or sensitive/private content.

Current truth and boundary

The roadmap remains 40 Backlog / 4 Next / 1 In progress / 13 Done, with 45 issues open / 13 closed. SPK-R0-001 retains a historical In-progress roadmap label but has no execution authority.
All 58 task dossiers remain Incomplete/Hold. Artifact state remains 342 Draft plus six PC-001 artifacts In review. Zero tasks are Ready and zero have executionAllowed=true.
No private system or authentic media was accessed. No credential, provider, spend, Project workflow, deployment, recovery, release, production, or R0 application action occurred. Deployment remains Unknown — private read authority pending.
No owner input is required to publish this public-safe evidence-only reconciliation. P0-OA-001 remains required before any later private-system read; every later human-only action remains separately gated.

Documents updated this period

README.md — concise repository status for the completed bounded PC-001 control slice and continuing all-task Hold.
docs/INDEX.md — current PC-001 Gate B/Gate C status, exact review/publication/parity/Wiki evidence, and audit-only registry role.
docs/project/PROJECT-TRACKER.md — completed control-slice checkpoint and the still-held task-specific R0 boundary.
docs/project/PHASE1-GITHUB-PROJECT-SYNC.md — exact PR #67 apply delta, two verifier reports, Wiki proof, and bounded claim.
RUNNING_LOG.md — this append-only handoff; every prior byte remains unchanged.

Current remaining to-do

Review this evidence-only diff independently, run the proportionate static/document controls, and merge it through a normal PR without changing the reviewed control candidate, six PC-001 artifacts, manifest, or r14 workbook.
Rebuild and republish the Wiki once from that final evidence merge so Page Audit points at final main; verify a fresh clone without creating another repository edit.
Re-run final read-only issue/Project parity from final exact main. Keep all task execution blocked.
Begin a task-specific R0 Council readiness wave only after selecting one decomposed task action, refreshing its six artifacts, and obtaining fresh exact-candidate five-seat approval plus any due owner evidence.

State snapshot

Repository main before this evidence-only branch: 0694e7ad548d15132171d7c910ce35d8bc05a4bc from PR #67.
Wiki: 25f438faa2adc57d42f62ef139a9f615de57af99, exact deterministic build from that repository merge.
Planning surfaces: 58 existing issues and issue-backed Project items, zero verifier mismatches, no definition/workflow mutation.
Execution authority: 58 Incomplete/Hold, zero Ready, zero executionAllowed; R0/private/authentic/deployment/release lanes remain blocked.
