Development Plan M1.1, as discussed.
- Schema v4: a work_items table (id, scope, title, status, outcome,
position, data) and an agent row whose active_item points at one
(NULL: idle). Canonical events and intents carry their work item, and
events their actor. Older stores are refused with a clear message:
there was no production data, so no migration (the mechanism stays).
- The log is reached through a Transcript bound to one work item and
one actor: store.transcript(item, actor) reads only that item and
writes with both. The planner, executor, delegation and expert desk
get one per call from the orchestrator instead of holding the store,
so a component can neither read another task's events (the planner
read every earlier task's, #78) nor write without attribution.
store.all_events() is kept for readers that span items (evaluation
capture, dumps). Intents are begun through the transcript or with
work_item=, so each belongs to its item.
- The orchestrator opens a work item on 'use', closes it with its
outcome (completed or abandoned), and carries what the operator said
while idle into the new item as copies with their origin, so a task
sent before 'use' is still planned from (D1). control.py keeps its
state machine through get_state()/transition(), now over the active
work item, until M2.6 retires it.
- nisse_dev.dump shows work items and each event's item and actor.
Tests: test_work_items.py (scoping, attribution, intent ownership,
restart, outcomes, carried messages, a second task never seeing the
first); the suites updated for the per-call transcript.

Architecture L9's role names, for the two roles with a direct
counterpart: the delegation role is now 'helper' and the ask_expert role
'expert', in RoleMap, configuration (roles.helper, roles.expert),
recorded events and tests. 'planner' and 'executor' stay distinct for
now; they become 'driver' when the new loop merges them (Development
Plan M2.3).
Configurations must rename their keys: nisse-dev.example.yaml and
tests/integration/nisse-test.yaml are updated here.

Development Plan M0.1. Every section reference in code, tests, specs/,
the example config, the tuning guide, and the CLAUDE.md and README files
now cites docs/Architecture.md (P, L, D, O, X, Q) instead of the old
spec's A-H, and docs/Architecture-Build-Spec.md is deleted (git keeps
it). The plan's old-to-new table goes with it.
Mostly mechanical, with a per-site choice where one old section split:
A4 became L2 where it meant stop/abandon/the loop and L3 where it meant
approvals; A10 became L6 in the context-budget code and L7 elsewhere; B2
became D4 for outbound Gitea and publishing and D5 for review intake;
'A3 step N' became the matching step of L8's boot sequence. Comments
describing behaviour the architecture drops (planning always escalating,
thresholds tuned at an old build step) now describe the current code and
point at the Development Plan.
docs/Architecture.md gains one line the rewrite missed: intake outages
delay but never fail work (old B2), now in L5, where the poller and
Matrix code cite it.
Comments and docs only; no behaviour change.

- poller.py: CommentPoller polls PR comments rather than taking
webhooks, keeping the VM outbound-only (B3). On an outage it backs
off exponentially, caps, and retries indefinitely while logging:
polling is pure intake, so an outage delays a reaction but never
fails a task or forces a transition
- prime() marks the existing thread as seen without delivering it, so
starting a watch does not re-address feedback already handled
- Review loop: a comment in PR_OPEN enters the canonical transcript,
the executor responds, and the fix is pushed to the same branch with
a reply on the PR. No intent is recorded for a follow-up push — the
PR already exists, so a repeated push is harmless, unlike opening a
second PR
- Comment authors are checked against a separate Gitea operator
allowlist: a PR comment is an instruction channel into an agent that
writes code, so it is operator-scoped, and a Gitea login is not a
Matrix MXID (A4 per-channel allowlists)
- Orchestrator now holds a lock: transport and the poller deliver on
separate threads, and state transitions must not interleave
- Backoff timings are injectable, so the outage path is tested in
milliseconds instead of being untestable
