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.pydoes not globally escape transcript HTML (risk if transcripts become untrusted input).portal/exports/contains tracked.htmlexports 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
