🚦 CURRENT EXECUTION STATE — 2026-10-02

The v4.4.0 release remains the published release baseline, but the repository has continued to evolve on main. Current work is governed by exact-head evidence rather than by the historical May completion percentages below.

• Current main: 329562a6da8d8d6f724036ed11267f51a1855483 (#1667, root-state coherence refresh merged after #1666).
• Open execution PR: #1671 is the single authoritative rank-1 ci-enhanced.yml repair lane; overlapping #1670 was closed as superseded.
• Current admission state: #1671 exact-head MIP B1 is green; B0 and Python 3.10/3.11/3.12 matrix proof are executing. The Enhanced CI lane is queued/executing and no engineering red is admitted until a real current-head failure completes.
• TC0–TC4 completeness census: merged through #1666, combining inventory/completeness, source↔test dynamic context, workflow executability/trigger coverage, semantic false-green classification, coverage DAB and static-analysis debt into one ranked residual while retaining the raw syntactic TC4 count separately.
• Completed census repairs: #1661 removed parser false positives; #1665 removed the measured cd-unified.yml false-green defect; #1666 added semantic TC4 classification without erasing raw debt.
• Exact-head proof state: #1666 merged only after B0/B1, Python 3.10/3.11/3.12 and compatibility were green; changed-line coverage was 100% (55/55), raw TC4 remained 239, TEST_EXISTS_UNCOLLECTED remained 2, and the unified ranked residual improved 310 → 309.
• Current rank-1 measured residual: .github/workflows/ci-enhanced.yml with 25 semantic false-green constructs; consume it only through bounded fail-closed repairs and exact-head proof.
• Root documentation: this section supersedes stale “workflow activation pending” language and historical counts as the current operating pointer.

Execution invariant

REFRESH LIVE MAIN
→ READ OPEN/MERGED PR STATE
→ RECOVER EXACT-HEAD TEST/CHECK EVIDENCE
→ REGENERATE TC0–TC4 + DAB RESIDUAL
→ REPAIR FIRST MATERIAL REPO-LOCAL RED ONLY
→ PRESERVE TEST/COVERAGE/FALSE-GREEN RATCHETS
→ FULL COMPATIBILITY / CI PROOF
→ MERGE ONLY ON ADMISSIBLE EXACT-HEAD EVIDENCE
→ POST-MERGE MAIN READBACK
→ RE-CENSUS BEFORE PROMOTING THE NEXT RESIDUAL

Next execution order

1. Preserve exact-main parity at 329562a6da8d8d6f724036ed11267f51a1855483 and keep #1671 as the only authoritative ci-enhanced.yml rank-1 lane.
2. Complete #1671 exact-head admission: B0/B1, canonical Python 3.10/3.11/3.12 compatibility and Enhanced CI. Repair only the first genuine material repo-local red, if one appears; otherwise merge and perform post-merge recensus.
3. Consume TEST_ADMISSION gaps next; no uncollected or failing governed test surface may be silently treated as green.
4. Consume NO_TEST source gaps, prioritizing USER_DIRECTED_HIGH and HIGH criticality.
5. Consume measured COVERAGE residuals while preserving configured changed-line and canonical coverage ratchets.
6. Continue measured STATIC_ANALYSIS debt reduction through the DAB queue; do not substitute raw bulk lint counts for ranked evidence.
7. Keep root status, handover, workflow rationalization and release-facing documentation synchronized with the exact live state.
8. Treat branch protection, folder refactoring, end-to-end deployment readiness and production-readiness claims as separate proof gates; promote them only when current evidence supports the claim.

Historical V2.2/V2.3 plans and the v4.4.0 release score remain useful lineage, but they are not the authority for current-main readiness.

🚀 QUICK START (3 MINUTES)

What Is This Project?

A recursive, DMAIC-driven multi-agent system for analyzing cryogenic engineering data, technical documents, and project artifacts. Built for the 12-cluster cryoplant analysis workflow.

Current Status

• v4.4.0: ✅ Published release baseline; historical completion/quality figures remain release-only evidence
• Current mainline: 🚧 Active MIP hardening, test/check completeness census and measured residual burn-down
• V2.2: ✅ Archived historical baseline
• V2.3: ✅ Historical implementation milestone (superseded by v4.4.0)
• Workflow authority: use .github/workflows/, ci/governance/workflow_policy.json and docs/ci/WORKFLOW_RATIONALIZATION.md; do not rely on a frozen workflow count
• Next Milestones: finish current exact-head census → consume ranked residuals → prove branch protection/refactor/deployment readiness separately

⚠️ HISTORICAL GAPS & BLOCKERS (V2.3 ERA)

These items are retained for lineage. They are not the current execution queue. Current work is governed by the exact-head TC0-TC4/DAB evidence above.

✅ Historical gaps resolved by later baselines

1. No V3.0 Orchestrator — resolved; the canonical V3 orchestrator is operational.
2. Incomplete Agent Upgrades — resolved; 6/6 agent upgrades were previously verified.
3. No KEB/GBOGEB Integration — resolved; runtime integration was previously verified.
4. Recursive Hooks Not Ported — superseded by the current DMAIC/temporal orchestration architecture.
5. Dashboard generation — resolved as a capability; multiple GitHub Pages/dashboard surfaces now exist.
6. DMAIC tracking and metrics/KPI collection — implemented as capabilities; current correctness is governed by live census evidence rather than the V2.3 checklist.

🚧 Historical items that remain current proof gates

7. Folder/refactor completion — still unproven as a repository-wide closure claim. Do not infer completion from partial cleanup.
8. End-to-end deployment readiness — CI/CD execution exists, but production/deployment readiness remains a separate evidence gate.
9. Production readiness — not promoted from historical targets; requires current branch-protection, deployment, test/admission, coverage and release evidence.

Current blocker interpretation

• Immediate blocker: none admitted yet; #1671 is waiting on exact-head workflow execution, not on a design decision.
• Rank-1 measured debt: semantic false-green constructs in .github/workflows/ci-enhanced.yml.
• Next blocker classes after rank-1 closure: TEST_ADMISSION → NO_TEST → COVERAGE → STATIC_ANALYSIS.
• Separate non-code gates: branch protection, repository refactor closure, end-to-end deployment proof and production-readiness proof.

🔄 VERSION CONTROL

Current Version: v4.4.0 published baseline; main carries post-release hardening beyond the tag
Previous Major Milestone: V2.3.0 (archived in docs_versioned)
Git Status: Active exact-head MIP/CI hardening; #1671 is the sole current rank-1 ci-enhanced.yml lane; workflow state is governed by live policy/census evidence; branch-protection proof remains separate
Last Major Update: 2026-10-02 (#1667 merged; duplicate #1670 superseded; #1671 executing exact-head admission for the measured rank-1 false-green debt)

🎯 PROJECT PRINCIPLES

This project follows recursive, evolutionary, DMAIC-driven principles:

1. Idempotency - All operations can be repeated safely
2. Recursive - Self-referential, hierarchical processing
3. DMAIC - Define-Measure-Analyze-Improve-Control cycle
4. Iterative - Continuous improvement through versioning
5. Evolutionary - Build on previous versions, no rewrites
6. Data-driven - Decisions based on metrics and testing
7. Version-controlled - All changes tracked, documented
8. Deployed - CI/CD ready, production-oriented

💡 QUICK TIPS

First Time Here?

1. Read MASTER_HANDOVER_INDEX.md (5 min)
2. Run smoke test: python local_mcp/agents/analysis_smoke_test_v2.3_OPTIMIZED.py
3. Check tasks: python tools_v2.3/task_tracker_v2.3_20251111.py list
4. Read V2.3_CANONICAL_STATUS.md (5 min)

Returning Developer?

1. Start with CURRENT EXECUTION STATE near the top of this README for the live main SHA and active PR edge.
2. Treat V2.3 status/action-plan documents as historical lineage, not as the current sprint authority.
3. Read the latest TC0-TC4/DAB evidence and current open PR before selecting work.
4. Consume only the next measured residual; do not replay completed or superseded slices.

Need Help?

• Documentation issues? Check MASTER_HANDOVER_INDEX.md
• Code questions? See code_index.yaml for component map
• Task confusion? Run python tools_v2.3/task_tracker_v2.3_20251111.py status
• Testing problems? Run smoke test for diagnostics

Project Status: ✅ v4.4.0 published baseline / 🚧 current-main hardening continues under exact-head evidence
Current Focus: Admit and close #1671, the sole measured ci-enhanced.yml rank-1 INFRA/CHECK lane, without relaxing test, coverage or raw false-green controls
Next Milestone: #1671 exact-head GREEN → merge → post-merge TC0-TC4/DAB recensus → consume the next measured TEST_ADMISSION/NO_TEST/COVERAGE/STATIC_ANALYSIS residual; prove branch-protection/refactor/deployment gates separately
Last Updated: 2026-10-02
