What isn't the dev agent's moves to nisse-core, unchanged in behaviour,
with its tests: canonical, render, render_anthropic, llm, catalog, probe,
context, views, state, reconcile, worker, cancel, dump, transport, matrix,
execution, testing, vault, memory, oplog, envfile and gitea (whole).
- nisse_core.state.StateStore holds the tables every agent has; an
agent's subclass adds its tables (version, migrations), roles and
views. nisse_dev.state.StateStore adds the build VM blocks (v5).
- views.project takes what each role is shown, rather than a fixed table.
- Vault takes the agent's name (agent=), for provenance.
- A test that nisse_core never imports an agent.
- The loop, config, git, delegation, expert, tools and evals stay in
nisse-dev until nisse-ops has a loop to share.
Docs: the Development Plan marks M7.1 done and notes that Phase 6 waits on
the agent host and Terraform; Architecture Part L names the package.

- roles.driver (unset: the planner's model) and roles.classifier (unset:
the expert's); the mapping is pinned when an item opens, and the driver
and the go-ahead reader run on the item's own (L9).
- profiles: in configuration (tools, strengths, weaknesses), used in
briefings: the driver's instructions say what its helper and expert are
good at, the helper's brief who reads its handback; never a model name.
- delegate(task) and ask_expert(question) for the driver. A helper works
on a branch off the milestone's; on a handback its work comes back as
uncommitted changes, otherwise it is discarded, so harness branches
never hold commits only the clone has. ask_expert keeps its budget.
- Triggers: failure_limit failed commands in a row (Driver's new "stuck"
outcome) or the turn cap, mid-milestone, call a helper in once per
milestone; if it fails too, the item waits on the operator. A
delegation cut off by a crash is discarded at boot.
- Evaluation capture: delegations and ask_expert as before, and the
reader's verdicts as classifier pairs.
Tests: help tests (merge-back, discard, needs a milestone, the stuck
trigger and its once-per-milestone limit, the expert and its budget,
pinning, briefings by profile, boot discarding a cut-off delegation),
config tests for roles and profiles, and the walk delegating with a
scripted helper that sometimes fails, with a delegations_settle property.
The walk found helper commits stranded on a merged PR's branch, fixed by
returning a helper's work uncommitted.

- A top-level message that isn't a command is a conversation: an item in
the `general` scope (L1), threaded under the operator's message, with
`reply`, `ask_human` and `propose_work` and no workspace or execution.
`general` is reserved as a project name.
- propose_work(project, title, summary) goes up as a revision for a
go-ahead (or a plain yes). On go, under a file_issue intent (L8), the
record issue is opened in that project, assigned to the agent and
carrying the new item's ID; its item starts agreed, with the summary as
its brief. Intake skips any issue carrying an ID (D1); boot adopts a
filed issue or puts the proposal up again.
- A conversation closes after tuning.loop.general_idle_s (default a day);
a reply in its thread then starts a new conversation that continues it.
Tests: conversation unit tests (threading, filing, the marker, an unknown
project, changes, idle close and continuation, a plain yes, both crash
cases, commands at top level); the walk with conversations, proposals and
idle time, and records_have_one_item / conversations_do_no_work; an e2e
conversation that becomes filed work.
