Autopilot run log — 2026-10-20 to 10-26 #4

Description

@Meerav29

Daily autopilot log for 2026-10-20 → 10-26 while Meerav is travelling.

Build routines post halts here, the review routine posts what it merged or rejected, and the digest posts one summary per day (about 7pm ET). Everything lands on the auto/queue branch. main does not move.

To stop a slice: comment HOLD on its PR. The review routine never overrides that.

Start with AUTOPILOT.md at the repo root.

    2026-10-21 build: slice-1 (design doc) is in review → #5

    • Map approach. Claude decides which topic each source belongs to, how well it fits, and which claims it takes a stance on. The artifact computes a force layout in the browser, with no embeddings. On the Jevons fixture, the topic each topic shares the most propositions with matches its UMAP nearest neighbour for 4 of 6 topics, plus one tie.
    • Views. Map and Claims are kept. Key terms and Timeline are merged into the map. Ask moves into the chat. Reader becomes a source card.
    • Budget. About 35–45 sources over up to 3 turns, versus the app's ~52. The two small AI camps in the fixture would likely merge at that size.
    • Decisions. 5 logged in docs/autopilot/decisions.md.
    • Unverified assumptions (design.md §10). Worth a 2-minute check in Claude.ai before slice-3: do sandbox files persist across turns, and can a sandbox HTML file be shown as the artifact?

    Review routine, 2026-10-21

    Merged (1): slice-1, the skill design doc. PR #5, squashed to auto/queue as 5ebd5e5. Queue updated in a7aad1d.

    • I checked all seven criteria against the text of skill/design.md, not against the PR body:
      • views: §3
      • map approaches (four compared, verified vs assumed, a pick): §1 and §4
      • data contract: §5 and skill/contract.schema.json
      • source budget and what it costs in map quality: §6
      • copyright: §7
      • prototype statements P1–P9: §8
      • non-goals and anti-goals: §9
    • The diff touches only skill/ and the autopilot docs. It contains no article text.
    • I re-validated the fixture against the schema myself: 0 errors, and a malformed date is rejected.
    • As the queue says, this review doesn't judge whether the design is right. §10 lists three things to check in a real Claude.ai chat before slice-3: sandbox persistence (A4), a sandbox file shown as the artifact (A5), and CDN loading in chat (A1).

    Rejected (0). Held (0).

    Autopilot - Wednesday October 21

    MERGED (3)
    grid-prophet #21 season chaining and gp season (drivers' + constructors' championship CSVs). Unit tests only; backtest not run.
    aperture #105 750 ms wall-clock budget for aperture-hook collect. Code tests only; no host evidence.
    discourse-lens #5 skill design doc (skill/design.md + contract schema). Docs only.

    DECIDED FOR YOU (9)
    grid-prophet #21: one posterior draw per trial held all season, only the team car steps; rejected redrawing parameters each round (averages out, overconfident title odds). Isolated: sim/season + cli.forecast_season; gp race and backtest untouched.
    grid-prophet #21: last completed round's entrants race the rest, ties broken by GP wins; rejected an explicit entry list and full FIA countback. Isolated: forecast_season, final_positions.
    aperture #105: provisional 750 ms budget; rejected the issue's 1-2 s (at/above the 1 s hook timeout aperture itself prints, so it would never fire) and 250 ms (loses events on a slow disk). Isolated: one constant + one spec sentence.
    aperture #105: process-level watchdog thread that exits 0, in the helper binary only; rejected a stdin-only timeout (misses a hung read_dir/rename). Isolated: 6 lines in aperture-hook.rs; a timeout mid-write can leave a stray .tmp in the spool.
    discourse-lens #5: map = Claude assigns topics/fit, artifact computes a seeded force layout in the browser; rejected embeddings+UMAP, Claude-written x/y, TF-IDF+SVD. Isolated to slice-2/3; the map becomes schematic, not text-similarity.
    discourse-lens #5: keep Map and Claims; Key terms and Timeline merged into the map; Ask moves to chat; Reader becomes a source card. Isolated to what slices 2-3 render.
    discourse-lens #5: budget ~35-45 sources over up to 3 turns (app: ~52+); rejected matching the app's 50-100 and single-turn only. Small camps will merge. Isolated to map quality; context/sandbox-persistence figures are unverified assumptions.
    discourse-lens #5: contract is a strict superset of the fixture JSON (all new fields optional); rejected a fresh schema. Isolated to slice-2/3.
    discourse-lens #5: vanilla JS/SVG, no CDN dependency; d3-force at a pinned version is the fallback. Isolated to slice-2.

    BLOCKED / HELD (1)
    anatomy-tryouts, force-feedback (slice-1): the Tue Oct 20 evening run left no trace. No branch, no PR, no issue comment, no commit after 17:51 UTC Oct 20, queue still todo on auto/queue. Cannot tell from GitHub whether it fired and failed or never fired. Needs a look at the routine's run history. No open PRs and no HOLDs in any repo.

    NEEDS YOU (4)
    anatomy-tryouts: check why the Tue evening build routine produced nothing (above). Can wait until Oct 27, but figures keep slipping until it is understood.
    discourse-lens: design.md section 10 lists three checks that only a real Claude.ai chat can answer (sandbox files persist across turns; sandbox HTML shown as the artifact; CDN loading in chat). Slice-3 runs Sun Oct 25 and depends on them, so do them before then if you want slice-3 to build on checked assumptions; otherwise it can wait until Oct 27.
    grid-prophet: review pack step 4 for slice-8, gp season on a real fit, with current_points checked against the real 2026 standings (the real FastF1 schedule path is untested). Earlier open item: repair_round.py 2025 6 Q vs your Miami rows. Both can wait until Oct 27.
    aperture: the docs/validation/** half of #99 (measure real hook latency, replace the provisional 750 ms) is yours. Can wait until Oct 27. Also no issue is filed yet for the stray .tmp spool file.

    TOMORROW
    grid-prophet: nothing scheduled Thu (next: slice-9 season-level backtest harness, Fri Oct 23)
    aperture: slice-8 (#95, oversized pasted-screenshot records marking Claude Code "degraded")
    anatomy-tryouts: Thu build run; the queue head is still force-feedback (todo), not carb-ice
    discourse-lens: nothing scheduled Thu (next: slice-2 visualization prototype, Fri Oct 23)

    2026-10-23 build: slice-2 (visualization prototype) → PR #6, in review.

    • skill/prototype/map.html renders the Jevons fixture with a layout computed in the browser (fixture x/y ignored). It has a map, claims and sources tabs, a topic filter, and light and dark themes. 60 KB, no network requests.
    • Checks were run in headless Chromium 141; raw output is in check-results.json. 0 console errors at 1440 and 390 px. All 11 propositions and 74 stances shown in the design's order. Nearest-topic agreement with the app's UMAP is 5 of 6. The layout is reproducible and takes 12 ms for 52 sources and 34 ms for 150. build_map.py is stdlib-only, rebuilds the page byte for byte, and rejects a dangling article id.
    • FINDINGS.md says GO for slice-3, with three conditions. The main weakness: the map shows tidy islands rather than the app's landscape. Still untested: anything inside a real Claude.ai chat (A1, A5).
    • Six decisions were added to decisions.md.

    Review routine, 2026-10-23: slice-2 held for you, not merged.

    • Held: PR slice-2: visualization prototype (map + claims) for the discourse-lens skill #6, the visualization prototype. It has 974 hand-written lines against a 600-line cap. That count leaves out the generated map.html, check-results.json and the PNGs. The details are in the PR comment.
    • Everything else passed: I ran map.html independently in headless Chromium at 1440 and 390 px. It had 0 console errors, 0 network requests and no sideways scroll at 390. It's 60 KB, and both the map and the Claims views render. The PR only touches skill/, decisions.md and the queue, with no article text.
    • Your call: merge slice-2: visualization prototype (map + claims) for the discourse-lens skill #6 as is, or ask for it to be split. Slice-3 (Sun) can't start until slice-2 is merged, so the build routine will halt on it otherwise. When you merge, there's a one-line conflict in queue.md on the slice-2 status line.
    • Nothing was rejected, so the two-rejection halt rule doesn't apply.

    Autopilot - Friday October 23

    MERGED (2)
    grid-prophet #22 slice-9: gp backtest --season-level harness (cutoffs 2/6/12, chains season with slice-8 sim; scores Spearman vs legacy, title Brier, 80% coverage). Unit tests only; real backtest NOT run.
    aperture #108 slice-9: reducer fixes for #51, #52, #53 (blocked_on after concurrent prompts, AskUserQuestion after tool_use, stale line vs cwd/host). Code tests only; no host evidence.

    DECIDED FOR YOU (11)
    grid-prophet #22: legacy comparison is a rolling Ridge trained on earlier seasons only, not the 0.88 leave-one-season-out method; rejected LOSO (legacy would learn from later seasons). Expect legacy to read below 0.88. Isolated: backtest.legacy_constructor_spearman, legacy column only.
    grid-prophet #22: title Brier is summed over the field (not per-driver mean); 80% coverage uses new p10/p90 columns added to both championship CSVs; calendar read from the held-out season's own rows, not FastF1. Isolated: backtest scoring + two added CSV columns (existing columns unchanged).
    grid-prophet #22: --season-level runs instead of the race-level backtest and merges a season_level block into backtest_summary.json; any failed cutoff or missing legacy number makes the verdict null. Isolated: new branch in cmd_backtest.
    aperture #108: with several pending hook requests, blocked_on names the newest still-pending one; rejected oldest (display flips) and listing all (changes #9's contract). Isolated: hook_bridge.rs + one field type in state.rs, in memory only.
    aperture #108: a stale line may fill an empty cwd/host/transcript_path but never overwrites one; rejected the issue's strict early return (leaves hook-first sessions without cwd). Isolated: top of passive::apply.
    discourse-lens #6 (not merged, see HELD): Playwright 1.56.1/Chromium 141 already installed, not the 1.48.2 download. Isolated: check script only.
    discourse-lens #6: layout rotated to fit viewport (pure rotation); cost is the unclustered group can land in a corner. Isolated: prototype layout.
    discourse-lens #6: tap opens source card, hover shows tooltip. Isolated: prototype UI.
    discourse-lens #6: selected topic filters claims by stance and recounts bars. Isolated: prototype UI.
    discourse-lens #6: point size = stances taken, bar width scales with stance count. Isolated: prototype UI.
    discourse-lens #6: generated test contracts/pages gitignored (about 200 KB not committed). Isolated: .gitignore.

    BLOCKED / HELD (1)
    discourse-lens #6 slice-2 prototype - HELD by the review routine: 974 hand-written lines vs the 600 cap (template.html 358, build_map.py 219, check.cjs 179, make_test_contracts.py 91, FINDINGS.md 87). Excludes generated map.html, check-results.json, PNGs. CI green (3 checks). It renders the Jevons fixture; 0 console errors at 1440/390 px, no sideways scroll at 390, nearest-topic agreement with the app's UMAP is 5 of 6. Not tested in a real Claude.ai chat. Needs you: merge as is, or ask for a split. One-line queue.md conflict on the slice-2 status line when merging.

    NEEDS YOU (4)
    discourse-lens: decide #6 (above). Slice-3 (skill draft) runs Sun Oct 25 and cannot start until #6 is merged; decide before Sun if you want it to run, otherwise the run halts and it can wait until Oct 27. The design.md section 10 checks (sandbox persistence, sandbox HTML as artifact, CDN in chat) still need a real Claude.ai chat.
    grid-prophet: the Phase 3 gate is yours. Run the season-level backtest using the command in #22's review pack (step 3). Can wait until Oct 27. Still open from before: slice-8 review pack step 4 (gp season on a real fit vs real 2026 standings) and repair_round.py 2025 6 Q vs your Miami rows.
    aperture: the two-concurrent-prompts UI check in #108's review pack. Can wait until Oct 27. Still open: replace the provisional 750 ms hook budget with measured latency (docs/validation is yours), check #106 on a fresh transcript, no issue filed for the stray .tmp spool file.
    anatomy-tryouts: unchanged. Why the Tue Oct 20 evening run left nothing is unexplained, and kart-solid-axle has no run left in the window. Can wait until Oct 27.

    TOMORROW
    grid-prophet: no build run (rotation Tue/Wed/Fri/Sun; slice-10 post-quali calibration is todo, next build Sun). #19 notes a Saturday post-quali routine for the US GP (R18) after Austin qualifying.
    aperture: slice-10 #45 IntegrationHealth test coverage (todo)
    anatomy-tryouts: slice-2 carb-ice (todo)
    discourse-lens: nothing scheduled Sat; Sun slice-3 will halt unless #6 is merged

    Not verified/not run: no backtest was run. aperture has no host validation. anatomy-tryouts had no PRs or tracking-issue activity in the last 24h.

    MERGED (0)
    none

    DECIDED FOR YOU (0)
    none

    BLOCKED / HELD (1)
    discourse-lens #6 slice-2 prototype - HELD since Oct 23 (974 hand-written lines vs 600 cap), merge state dirty (one-line queue.md conflict). Today's slice-3 (skill draft) build halted and built nothing, because slice-2 is held, not merged. Needs your merge-or-split call, then slice-2 set to merged on auto/queue.

    NEEDS YOU (1)
    Decide #6; slice-3 can then be run by firing the build routine by hand. Can wait until Oct 27. The design.md section 10 checks (sandbox persistence, sandbox HTML as artifact, CDN in chat) still need a real Claude.ai chat.

    TOMORROW
    halted (no scheduled build left in the window)
