Background dispatch produced two failure modes this session, and both
looked identical from the outside: a run that had finished without anyone
noticing, and a run that had wedged without anyone noticing. A pipe on the
end of the command masked pytest's real exit code as 0, and a waiter
looping on `pgrep -f "<the command>"` matched its own command line and
never terminated. Foreground execution trades parallelism for knowing
what actually happened.
VT migration abandoned (v1.0 scope becomes two projects), Q1 resolved
to Gitea PyPI, Q6 resolved as judge exemption (unwired zero-consumer
eval scaffolding), migration docs annotated with implementation errata,
and the reference/ read-only rule clarified for the worktree workflow.
Define the five-step ladder (native-schema prevention, repair, shape
validation, bounded feedback re-ask, ResultInvalidError) as D14;
rewrite section 7.9 accordingly, give the structured parameter its
three-tier semantics in the chat() signature, and scope the bounded
re-ask outside transport retry and breaker counting.
Record tenacity vs self-built evaluation as D13 in ARCHITECTURE.md
(self-built wins: per-attempt orchestration, cancellation guarantees,
supply-chain discipline). Add research-wiki/ROADMAP.md expanding the
milestone table with ordering rationale and exit criteria.
