Pending Matters

Queued Deliberations

  • Operationalize APMS / SCG / AFAP into runbooks and checklists (implementation handoff candidate for LIL_JEFF)
  • F4+ Specialist Pilot formal review (was due 2026-05-18)
  • Plurilateral Model Commons Compact (aspiration from DEL-005)
  • Court intake citation oracle advocacy (aspiration from DEL-006)

Open Questions

  • Git history secret scan has not been performed (working tree only).
  • portal/export_transcript.py does not globally escape transcript HTML (risk if transcripts become untrusted input).
  • portal/exports/ contains tracked .html exports despite ignore intent; publication boundary unclear.
  • LOAC threshold for agentic cyber operations remains unresolved (SEC-003).

Session Memory

Key Context

  • 2026-07-25 Hot-Button Docket: Four expansive proceedings with spectators (Echo, Harley, Uncle Ruckus), SMEs, and expert witnesses. Binding stack: APMS + SCG + AFAP + SEC-003 findings.
  • Xenon Fraud Hearing (2026-CONT-002): Special Interest Hearing held for The People vs. Elon Musk; 3 witnesses; 5 findings.
  • Security posture (2026-SEC-001): No working-tree secrets detected by common patterns; primary risks process-driven.
  • Aegis Protocol (2026-ARCH-002): 15 enhancements adopted; handoff to LIL_JEFF.
  • Edward pattern: favor reducing operator memory load; design for tired rubber-stamp humans (Jul 25).

Assumptions in Effect

  • Framework documentation is complete and consistent
  • APMS/SCG/AFAP principles are binding for MORNINGSTAR-governed agentic work even before full runbook tooling lands
  • Users can navigate and operate using the new structure
