PR #27 opened with an invented 'I was setting up…' experience — the first-person-trigger style rule pushes autonomous runs to fabricate. Scheduled runs now use honest news framing; real first-person stays reserved for human /til captures.

Wrong genre: release-notes summary, not a TIL. The contract now requires the agent to actually run the thing in its sandbox and write from the real transcript. |

Read against real simonw/til posts, the agent's output was release-notes journalism. The honest autonomous TIL: actually execute the topic in the sandbox (bash unrestricted; firewall still governs network), capture real commands/output/friction, and write only from that transcript. First person becomes true. PR #27 closed as wrong-genre. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_013MTe1mXFsAXcAhzRr69t2f

…e model The verification run after closing #77 still emitted `noop: "Open TIL PR #77 exists"` — with #77 closed six minutes earlier and `open-til-prs.json` containing `[]`. The agent log shows why: it read `rejected-til-topics.json` and wrote "Looking at the open PRs: #77, #72, #69, #44/#43, #42, #27, #25, #14...". Those are all CLOSED. It conflated the two files, which have the same `{number, title}` shape and adjacent names. That makes closing a bad TIL PR actively harmful: every closure grows the rejected list and raises the odds the gate is misread, so the pipeline can block on PRs that no longer exist. Following the DeterministicOps pattern `gh aw audit` recommends for this run, the prepare step now computes the decision itself and writes `gate.txt`: `CLEAR`, or `BLOCKED` followed by one line per genuinely open til PR. The prompt names gate.txt the only authority on whether the agent may write, and says explicitly that every entry in rejected-til-topics.json is closed. The model no longer interprets anything to reach this decision. Verified both branches against live repo state: CLEAR today, and BLOCKED with the PR named when the list is non-empty.

* ci(til): route TIL PRs with native reviewers + expires instead of human vigilance Follow-up to #80. That PR fixed the deadlock's trigger (draft: false) but still relied on someone noticing the PR. gh-aw has native config for both halves: - `reviewers: sameerkhansf` — the PR lands in the review queue with a GitHub notification, rather than sitting until someone checks the Actions tab. - `expires: 7d` — compiles to `"expires":168` and stamps `<!-- gh-aw-expires: <ISO_DATE> -->` in the PR body. The existing agentics-maintenance.yml already runs a daily `close-expired-pull-requests` job, so an unreviewed post now closes itself after a week and the scout resumes on its own. The one-pending-post rule can no longer block the pipeline indefinitely — which is what #77 did for five runs across four days. Verified against pkg/parser/schemas/main_workflow_schema.json: `draft` really does default to true, and both fields are documented on safe-outputs.create-pull-request. Not adding `auto-merge` — merging a TIL PR is the publish approval and stays human. Not adding `close-older-pull-requests` either: with one-post-at-a-time the scout never opens a second PR, so it would never fire.
