Live on kind with the runner image that carries 2.2
(ousast-runner@sha256:d2a55293...; templates and validation-46 Tasks repinned,
128 lines; kind-images.json updated): the smoke Run on store delivery finished
in 26 s and 24 s; the tar was PUT to runs/ax-e2e-smoke/facts/output.tar
(10240 B) and collected 2 s later; read back from the store its members
(facts.json 451 B, summary.json 238 B, units.jsonl 291 B) equal the extracted
files; facts.json, summary.json and done.json (149 B) re-put, state.json
(350 B) mirrored; a rerun from an empty results root seeded state.json from the
store and finished in 2 s without resubmitting. The actor's egress policy read
back live: one tlsPassthrough rule on 443 naming the store host, nothing else.
`ousast plane status ax-e2e-smoke` printed the table each time. Record:
benchmarks/measurements/2026-10-02-k8s-02-store-delivery/record.json with the
smoke outputs, store read-back and policy beside it. Task 2.6 (receiver
removal) is paused by the maintainer's reprioritisation.

ops/ax/up.sh reads kube_context, registry, pools.default and the images path
with `python -m openultrasast.plane.profile --print`, writes the runner digest to
ops/k8s/profiles/kind-images.json instead of ~/.cache/.../runner-image, renders
ops/ax/workerpool.yaml.tmpl from the profile's pool (POOL_NAME/REPLICAS/CPU/
MEMORY, WORKER_IMAGE), and keeps an existing pool and an ax CLI newer than its
checkout instead of rebuilding them (ko and go install would refill several GB
of Go cache on this disk). smoke-run.sh takes the runner from `--print
images.runner` and runs the checkout's code with OUSAST_PYTHON. repin_templates
reads the JSON images file (runner key; the one-line pin still reads). `--print
images` returns the file path (the first live rerun fell over this). Templates
and the generated validation-46 Tasks re-pinned to the rebuilt image (128
lines, one digest).
Live: up.sh reran idempotently on kind in 38 s (every step kept except the
runner build); smoke-run.sh done in 24 s on the new image, facts.json 451 B,

`ousast plane harvest` (plane/harvest.py) writes two Runs over a label snapshot:
verify a/b + agree on the verify-family units (both sides of each labelled pair as
an opaque files-only Workspace, candidates outside the hunt's root, no declared
sites; v1 and dev-php pins with repo-facts first) and model roles on the candidate
files (pair excerpts grouped, one Task per population pin). Budgets sum under the
ceiling by construction. New roles task template; the generator re-pins it.
Spent by attribution: verify $2.54 (1961 calls, 150 units, 182 hunts per pass),
roles $1.40 (1034 calls, 799 files, 0 unclassified chunks); DeepSeek balance
19.63 -> 18.23. Engine on the pair corpus (benchmarks/learn/engine_pairs.py,
frozen e6ed785, one 3g container) is PARTIAL: 384 of 686 sides at commit, still
running; unfinished sides stay missing. benchmarks/learn/build_features.py built
1712 static+plane records into the memory store; counts-only record under
benchmarks/measurements/2026-10-01-decision-engine-harvest/.
source/roles parts are `none`, not `failed`, for a language without a declaration
pattern (C). ops/ax/README: Substrate golden-actor disk leak and the inline
Workspace limit (~20 KB).

learn/schema.py is the closed, typed allow-list of candidate features: 66 features over
11 instruments (language one-hot, quick rules with 23 mechanism buckets and a prior count,
engine, repo-facts, source span, entry-point distance, roles, delta, verify, agree, model
sinks), two profiles (static 57; plane adds verify, agree and model sinks for 66), schema_version and a feature-set digest.
No repository, path, file, function, rule or commit identity is a feature; site_match,
in_fix_range, fixed-pin alerts, case.json fields and costs are refused. Missing is not zero:
each record carries per-instrument state (ran | none | failed | not_applicable), and every
feature of an instrument that did not run is null.
learn/features.py builds records on the host (build_for_scan, whole repository or base..head
delta); plane/tasks/features.py builds them per case in a Run from the delivered artifacts,
dropping site_match and in_fix_range on read and ignoring fixed-pin alerts. The generator
adds a model-free `features` entry per case before `remember`, which stores the records as
`features` rows (re-validated). memory KINDS gains features, label, decision, experiment,
arm_outcome and experiment_result. The committed validation-46 manifests are regenerated
(entries appended; the first Run's entries are unchanged). The runner image must be rebuilt
and re-pinned before a Run executes the new task.
Proof on real artifacts (scratch store, not committed): the recorded validation-46 run gives
75 feature records over 15 cases (43 verify candidates plus vulnerable-pin alerts), each
case's vulnerable pin exported and read (0.5k-9k files); remember stored 75 features rows
beside 43 verdict, 84 alert, 61 unit_cost, 15 facts and 8 coverage rows.

Quick mode has rules only for c/cpp, groovy, java, javascript/typescript and
python, so every PHP case's "0 alerts" read as clean. The `alerts` task now
records per language of the files read whether quick mode covers it
(derived from the bundled ruleset, not a list): coverage quick | none, with
file counts per pin, and `uncovered`. `remember` turns that into `coverage`
memory rows (a new kind; the Run passes the alerts summary.json as input),
loop-measure reports coverage per language, and improve/memory.py's M1/M2
skip a repository+pin whose coverage for the rule's language is only
`none` (counted under `coverage_none` in the proposal's excluded).
`ousast plane alerts-engine <Run.yaml> --source <frozen export>`
(plane/engine_alerts.py) does the alerts task on the host for cases whose
files include a language the engine covers but quick mode does not (PHP):
exports both pins from the case cache, runs the quick scan and the
openultrasast:dev engine container (finding_dump.py, --network none,
--memory 3g, one at a time, per-pin deadline), writes engine findings in
the alerts.jsonl row shape (rule_id engine:<family>, source engine,
in_fix_range from case.json) with a summary (files read, questions,
completed, seconds, degradations per pin), and marks the task done via
reconciler.mark_done. No result, no files read, or questions == 0 fails
loudly and leaves the run untouched. Refuses a git checkout as source.
Runner image rebuilt and re-pinned (sha256:ebb40a9a...); validation-46
regenerated (digest only). Live, recorded in
benchmarks/measurements/2026-09-30-php-engine-alerts/: froxlor 366 files,
130/130 questions per pin, 6 alerts per pin, 0 in the fix range; wp-gopay
19 files, 101/101 questions, 0 alerts. The loop: 32 run rows (coverage 8,
php=engine), 0 proposals, gate no_proposals, $0.

`ousast plane workspaces --validation-set ... --loop` appends the loop to a Run:
per case `alerts` (plane/tasks/alerts.py: the quick-mode scan on the vulnerable
and the fixed pin, a fixed-pin Workspace per case, alerts attributed to their
enclosing function by the repo-facts patterns, `in_fix_range` from the fix's
old-side and new-side ranges, failing on an unread tree) feeding `remember`,
then `memory-snapshot` -> `loop-measure` -> `loop-propose` -> `loop-improve`
(plane/tasks/loop.py). Every new task binds no Model and has budget
{usd: 0, calls: 0}. The snapshot is the store's rows after the train-on-test
guard, written on the host by memory.seed (a sandboxed run of it fails loudly);
propose runs M1/M2 against this repository at the commit under test; improve
runs one unchanged evolve.run_round and delivers gate.json, journal.json, the
sidecar, rule_policy.json only when accepted, and proposal_outcome rows that
the host ingests. Adoption stays a maintainer commit.
`remember` is now a Run entry per case (the image contains it), with the facts
row keyed by the image the facts were computed on (repo-facts records it in
its summary; unknown -> the row is omitted, never guessed). Alert rows carry
their own pin; improve/memory.py counts a repeated alert once.
Runner image rebuilt (+0.39 MB: only the new modules; the quick scan needs no
extra and the rulesets were already in the package), pushed, plane/ re-pinned
and regenerated (validation-46: 105 entries). Fixture test runs the whole loop
graph through the fake ax, whose new `exec` mode runs the real task modules.
Live: one loop Run over three validation-46 cases on the local ax, recorded in
benchmarks/measurements/2026-09-30-harnessx-removal-loop/ (all done, $0 new
spend, 0 proposals, gate verdict no_proposals).

plane/memory.py: the MemoryStore interface with FileStore (index.jsonl, facts by
content hash, repos/<host>__<owner>__<name>/<pin>.jsonl, idempotent ingest,
deterministic row ids, refusal below 1 GiB free naming the path) and MinioStore
(object metadata and tags, S3 Select pushdown probed once per process with a
logged local fallback, object version ids on every row read, versioning and
runs/ lifecycle helper, presigned URLs). OUSAST_MEMORY selects the backend;
MINIO_* settings come from .env; the minio SDK is the optional extra `minio`.
plane/tasks/remember.py: model-free rows (facts, verdict, unit_cost, alert)
from a case's artifacts; remember_run computes them on the host for a recorded
run without writing into it. reconciler.mark_done (477 lines total), seed
before and ingest after `ousast plane run`, `ousast plane remember <run>`.
The generator annotates each repo-facts Task with openultrasast.io/memory-key
(repo, pin, candidates digest, image digest) and the Run with its population
and split; plane/ regenerated.

The design revisit after plane-increment-1.json (14/20 agreed, 19/20 in either
pass): a third verify pass on the candidates passes a and b dispute, and agree
decides 2-of-3 where pass c asked (the a/b rule elsewhere; c alone never decides).
- verify: optional OUSAST_INPUT_ONLY restricts the hunt to the named candidates
(agree's disputed.json); an empty list is done with 0 units and no model client.
- agree: optional OUSAST_INPUT_PASS_C; metrics keep every key and add tiebreak
{asked, flipped_to_agreed, flipped_to_rejected, rule}; usd_total, hunts and
declared-site metrics are on the final decision.
- generate: per case <case>-vc and <case>-final appended to validation-46; the
first 60 entries stay byte-identical, so a rerun keeps their done state.
- Offline replay over the recorded outputs with an empty pass c reproduces the
recorded agree summaries exactly (14/20 agreed, 23 agreed, 10 disputed).
- Spec: Requirement 6.4, design Measurement, task 8.1.

On the live cluster the case clone ran at boot: the golden boot had no egress
policy, and the real actor was still being restored, so both TLS handshakes to
GitHub were cut. After the start the actor is RUNNING under its policy (the
delivery the same minute went through). Adds the one-case check Run (a subset
of validation-46) and re-pins the task manifests to the current runner digest.

agree matched declared sites through benchmarks/independent/evaluate.py,
which the runner image does not carry, so site matching would have been
"not assessed". The generator now resolves the fix's old-side ranges
(evaluate.hunks, line for line) into case.json, with the declared sites in
the set and the reference's cost, and agree.matches_declared reproduces
matches_v2; a parity test runs both over the recorded outputs of the 15
validation cases (200 probes, identical verdicts) and agree on those outputs
returns the reference's 16 of 20 and $0.022.
agree reports cost_per_candidate (plane spend) and
cost_per_candidate_with_recorded_triage; Requirement 6.2 is judged on the
latter (design.md). --runner-image re-pins the templates from ops/ax/up.sh's
pin file; the committed manifests are regenerated at the current digest.

Model deepseek-flash (declared provider extension, endpoint prices in
parameters, secretKey naming the DEEPSEEK_API_KEY secret), digest-pinned
Task templates repo-facts / verify / agree, and a generator
(plane/generate.py, `ousast plane workspaces --validation-set ...`) that
emits per case the vulnerable-pin Workspace, a files-only inputs Workspace
(recorded candidates after the recorded triage, declared sites, triage),
per-case Tasks and one Run validation-46: facts -> verify a, verify b ->
agree for the 15 cases, 46 candidates (43 kept), budgets 1.5x the recorded
per-pass share. A Run entry cannot add a binding or env, and Run.inputs
names only task artifacts, so the case is fixed by per-case Tasks.
