Live in cron, first loop: 55→79/80
Next: Monitor tonight 8 PM automated run, evaluate output quality
5/8
✓ Rubric designed (8 metrics + binary gate) (2026-03-14) ✓ Prototype run (55→79/80) (2026-03-14) ✓ Reframe pass codified (2026-03-14) ✓ SPEC.md updated with loop methodology (2026-03-14) ✓ Cron prompt updated (2026-03-14) ○ First automated loop run ○ Apply loop to other watchers ○ Cross-report quality comparison

March 14 prototype: 5 iterations, 55→62→68→70→79. Key finding: structural reframes (+9 pts) beat prose polish (+2 pts). 8 metrics: synthesis, attribution, headline specificity, signal density, cross-thread connection, strategic vision, deep stakes, signal-to-noise curation. Mandatory reframe pass: stakes promotion, section purpose audit, noise kill.

The Fork (proposed experiment)

call_splitSubstrate Identity

Hypothesis: fork one agent into two substrates. Does identity follow the files or the model?
