# Planner Memory
Last updated: 2026-04-17

## Run history
- Run 1 (2026-04-05): First planning run. Established prerequisite tree from VISION.md.
- Run 2 (2026-04-08): Foundation milestone completed. Triaged 4 predictions. Filed #425, #426.
- Runs 3-12 (2026-04-12 to 2026-04-15): Maintained tree locally. Ops repo push blocked by #758 (branch protection). Nomad migration sprint filed and tracked. hire-an-agent bugs surfaced.
- Run 13 (2026-04-17): Updated tree with Nomad migration and hire-an-agent objectives. Filed vault procurement for #758. Memory update (10 runs since last summary).

## Current constraint focus
1. **Ops repo branch protection** (#758) — HUMAN_BLOCKED. All agent writes to ops repo frozen since 2026-04-08. Vault procurement filed (vault/pending/disinto-ops-branch-protection.md). Gardener flagged 2x. Root blocker for Adoption.
2. **hire-an-agent defects** (#834 umbrella) — compose generator, TOML parser, collaborator setup, image rebuild (#887). Blocks multi-agent parallel operation. Multiple priority sub-issues in-progress.
3. **issue_claim race** (#830) — verify assignee after PATCH to prevent duplicate work. Priority, in-progress.
4. **Re-seed ops dirs** (#820) — blocked on #758. Once branch protection resolved, seeds vault/evidence/sprint dirs.
5. **Website observability** (#426) — vision-level. No analytics on disinto.ai. Blocks Adoption landing page completion.

## Patterns observed
- #425 closed but effect blocked by #758 — code-level fix ≠ deployment-level fix. Pattern: migration code landing without the ops repo push path being verified.
- Nomad migration is a major new initiative (step-0 through step-2, ~20 issues). Emerged organically from architect sprints. Not in original VISION.md milestones but supports Adoption (alternative backend).
- hire-an-agent flow has cascading bugs: TOML parser → compose generator → entrypoint → collaborator setup. Each fix surfaces the next. Pattern: untested integration path now under first real multi-agent use.
- Graph grew from 165→215 nodes, 137→259 edges. No cycles or bottlenecks. 11 orphans (benign: unused formulas/labels + orphan issue #843).
- Predictor has been quiet — 0 unreviewed predictions in run 13. May indicate predictor hasn't run recently or all predictions were already triaged.
- High dev velocity on Nomad work despite ops repo write freeze — work proceeds because it's in the code repo, not ops repo.

## Strategic direction
- Foundation DONE. Adoption active with two new sub-objectives: Nomad backend and multi-agent operation.
- **Critical path**: #758 (human action) → #820 (re-seed) → ops repo writes resume → evidence/vault/knowledge persistence.
- Nomad migration is the largest active workstream but does NOT block other Adoption objectives. Track but don't gate on it.
- hire-an-agent bugs are the main dev-pipeline constraint — until resolved, only single-agent operation is reliable.
- Do NOT file Ship/Learn issues. Adoption has 3 blocked objectives and 2 in-progress workstreams.
- After #758: immediately push accumulated ops state, then focus on example project (#697).

## Lessons learned
- Ops repo branch protection created a 9-day knowledge blackout (2026-04-08 to 2026-04-17). Container restart would lose all intermediate state. Vault procurement items for human-blocked constraints should be filed immediately, not deferred.
- "Code fix merged" ≠ "deployed effect realized" — verify the push path, not just the code path.
- Umbrella issues (#834) are useful for tracking cascading bug chains in integration paths.
