factory 0.3.8

Compared against 0.3.5 (e3abd2b). Released channel stable points at v0.3.8. Versions 0.3.6 and 0.3.7 were not released.

• Idle dispatcher passes write no lifecycle rows for parked tickets (#130): a manage/landing check that changes nothing no longer journals its enter/lock/handoff/exit trail; passes that act keep the full trail. (PR #133)
• Bound the dashboard snapshot's executions list (#134): Ops no longer loads hundreds of MB on long-lived repositories.
• Roadmap stops reporting runtime_unavailable for closed or runtime-known tickets (#137).
• Dashboard docked ticket drawer: desktop docks the detail drawer beside the queue; narrow screens keep the modal overlay with focus trap, Escape and reduced motion. (PR #143)
• Upstream sync lands the newest conflict-free upstream prefix instead of parking the whole backlog behind one conflicting commit. (PR #117)
• Split-aware eval promotion contract (#126): docs/eval-promotion-contract.md and factory learn --promotion claim.json; keep only when the held-out split improves. (PR #128)
• Experiment evidence in a fresh FM session (#99); reviewer-calibration corpus grown to 11 cases with confirmed oracles and adjudication rows (#34, PRs #144–#148).
• Repository gate runs uv run --frozen --no-managed-python, so declared dependencies are installed and uv.lock is never rewritten (PRs #127, #129); the interpreter-escaping test fixture is portable to relocatable Python builds (PR #135).
• Journal rotation (#131): .factory/events.jsonl rolls into gzip segments events.jsonl.N.gz under the journal flock once it passes [journal] max_mb (default 64; retention segments, default 8). Open-execution lifecycle rows stay live; every outcome row stays readable via lifecycle.read_events, which now includes segments. Only closed-execution lifecycle rows of expired segments are dropped; the oldest kept segment grows with carried outcome rows.
• Host-owned worker argv prefix (#3): [defaults.worker_wrap] / [repo."owner/name".worker_wrap] command is prepended to every worker launch (all labels); a committed [worker_wrap] fails to load. doctor checks its executable on PATH. A launch prefix, not sandboxing.
• Bounded worker boot/resume context (#89): factory dispatch's worker prompt gets a ## Resume context section, built only from the latest retained accepted result (#88) and the local plan-bound journal (#57), when a ticket has prior retained history. It reports the prior accepted head/result and whether the admitted scope has since moved (unchanged/changed/unavailable); never a worker log, prompt, or transcript, never a scope rewrite, and no widened context budgets.
• O1 bounded observation producer (#97): stdlib-only experiments/o1-observation/observer.py (start/status/stop/report) with frozen protocol.json. Opens .factory/events.jsonl O_RDONLY, freezes a chunk-digested byte range (256 MiB cap, suffix + explicit coverage beyond it) before classifying the latest 12 recorded merged/escalate ticket executions by exact structured reason codes only. Runs land in exclusive, never-overwritten directories under the main root's .factory/experiments/o1-observation/, capped at 10 minutes, 64 MiB output and three iterations per lineage; no subprocess, network or model calls. Disposition starts pending.
• Experiment-informed roadmap next actions (#100): each roadmap/initiative plan (CLI evidence investigate, FM fm_investigate, dashboard Roadmap) gains experiments — the latest retained run of every experiment whose protocol.json names that initiative as roadmap, with its decision link, latest result, per-run recorded disposition and accepted/rejected/deferred/pending grouping, marked informed_by and never a blocker — and next: the next action (implement or decide) with a cited explanation from accepted NOW/NEXT/THEN/LATER Plan tiers, eligibility and real Blocked by edges, plus separate current-priority decisions, runnable, blocked, in-flight, later-held and displaced work and unresolved evidence. Read-only.
