Ran the humanizer rules over 79 prose files in the active specs (brief,
design, requirements, research and narrative docs). Removed em dashes,
significance inflation, forced rule-of-three, bold-label list items and
filler. Skipped tasks.md checklists and the retired specs (harnessx-*,
openrouter-sast-harness, unseen-repo-evaluation).
Every number, path, command, hash and identifier was preserved: checked
each file against HEAD for drift in numbers, inline code and code fences,
zero drift across all 79 files.

README: "Configuring the HarnessX agentic plane" becomes "The agentic
plane (ax)" (ousast plane run|status|doctor|remember, per-task Model,
budget and egress, pointer to ops/ax/README.md, one tagged retirement
line); "The HarnessX self-improving cycle" becomes "The self-improving
cycle", and its MetaAgent paragraph is replaced by the memory proposer
(`ousast improve --memory`, provenance, train-on-test guard). The fusion
panel_model/decider_model lines and the [harnessx] spend caps are gone.
The README reference test now passes without its strict xfail.
docs/examples.md section 6 runs the plane; docs/threat-model.md describes
the per-task EgressPolicy, the usd/calls budgets and the start-request
credential path. RELEASE_NOTES.md gets an Unreleased entry: HarnessX
removed, the retired keys and their errors, the silent loss of the
second hunter for users who set [models] hunter, and the plane as the
agentic path.
Dated retirement notes (2026-09-30) head the requirements, design and
brief of harnessx-self-improving-rulesets, learning-harness,
three-stage-scan and openrouter-sast-harness, and follow the spec table
in steering/overview.md; history is unchanged. All tasks are checked, so
spec.json moves to implementation-complete.

DeepSeek announced V4.1 Flash on 2026-09-10 and routes V4 Pro requests to it
from 12:00 Beijing time on 2026-09-14, billed at Flash's price.
The consequence worth writing down is not the id change. It is that the
detector and the judge are now the SAME model, where the design assumed the
judge was a stronger and more expensive second opinion. Every claim in this
repo that a judge call is a higher-quality check is now a claim about the
PROMPT and the evidence put to it, not about model class -- and the residual
question a judge is asked ("does this sanitizer suffice for this weakness")
has to carry its own weight.
Legacy ids stay in the price table so a recorded run from before the migration
still costs out; a manifest that cannot price its own model is one nobody can
audit.
The code for this landed in 83ab533, swept in by `git add -A` under a docs
message about the ranker -- the second time today. This commit is the record
it should have had.
855 tests pass.

Eight of the ten vendored access-control rows had no named handler at all,
so every one of them would have scored `missing_context` forever rather
than as a detector miss. After the re-harvest nine are named and the tenth
states its reason.
The handler-context mode now carries the class its framework registers,
multi-line decorators, and commented-out guards -- `#@token_required`
above a ThreatByte handler is the entire bug. Where the registration lives
in another document (connexion's `operationId`, an express router), a
recipe names `context = [...]`, the harvester writes that stanza per side,
and the pair materializes both files at their repository-relative paths so
the entry-point mapper sees the layout the project has. `harvest_recipe`
fetches every blob before the first write and the driver takes `--report`,
so a failed fetch leaves a reviewed excerpt exactly as it was.
Two defects the re-harvest exposed: `.mjs` was not a known suffix, so the
one pair vendored as an ES module had no file target at all; and
`_python_route_access` matched auth words inside decorator prose, reading
`@ns.doc(description='... without proper authorization checks')` as a
guard. Recorded in the hygiene artifact: nine of the ten duplicate groups
sit on both sides of the split, which the repository-level split cannot
see.

The maintainer settled both items the group 1 review escalated.
The family that covers server-side request forgery is named untrusted
destination and also covers open redirect, because both are untrusted input
choosing where a request goes and the corpus carries 34 open-redirect rows that
would otherwise be unclassifiable. The requirement, the brief and the design
example now say so, and the approval note records the amendment.
The shipped taxonomy is flat, so no answer can earn hierarchical partial credit.
Rather than leave that as prose, two new acceptance criteria require every
agreement figure and every family figure to say it, and both report types now
carry the flag, computed from the taxonomy rather than asserted. A taxonomy that
later declares a parent flips it without any other change.

Foundation: taxonomy, DeepSeek endpoint, corpus fields, TypeScript grammar,
curated hunter tools. Core: classifier tiers and measurement, per-pair family
scoring and aggregation, detector configurations and runner, verifier registry
with oracle callback, canary templates and second judge, journal and archive.
Integration: one teacher rule, family scoring on the pairs hunter path, round
zero with per-model noise floors, scan-path tags and manifest block, proposers,
acceptance and revert, round orchestration, publish, subcommands. Corpus
repairs and validation last. Both sanity reviews' findings recorded in the
plan; K-run evaluation honors requirement 3.5 at every stage.

A learning package layered families -> classify -> scoring -> split ->
detectors and verifiers -> rounds -> publish, composing the existing seams:
the tool hunter gains prompt, context and tool parameters; the hunter path of
the pair scorer takes an injected family matcher so pairs never imports
learning; every learning path selects teachers through one train-only rule;
the regress verdict takes an optional canary oracle; the chat endpoint resolves
DeepSeek before OpenRouter with thinking disabled and reasoning replayed, while
embeddings keep their own endpoint; HarnessX proposes behind the seam with a
scripted proposer for offline runs. Fifty-nine acceptance criteria traced;
boundary sections, file structure plan and migration phases populated.
