+| **L4** Action classifier | none | |
-| **L6** Context | partial | Context fitting, per-role views and orchestrator facts (M1.2); no scope or agent memory |
+| **L5** Conversation | partial | Matrix transport, mention handling, case-insensitive commands. Only the planner can ask (`ask_human`); no question handling, no explanations or progress prose, a misleading reply in `IDLE` |

+| **L8** Durability and recovery | mostly done | WAL store, intents, boot reconciliation, adopting a published PR (#75), comment cursors and redelivery (#68, #76), Quint model (`specs/`). Needs moving onto the new loop and the work-items schema |

 ## 4. Phases
-### Phase 0 — Housekeeping (done)
+### Phase 0 — Housekeeping
-**M0.1 Retire the old spec.** **Done.** **M0.2 A bring-up script.** **Done.**
+**M0.1 Retire the old spec.** *Pre-approved.* **Done.**
 - Update every section reference in code, tests, `specs/` and the `CLAUDE.md` and
  `README.md` files from the old spec's A–H to the new letters.
 - Delete `docs/Architecture-Build-Spec.md` (git keeps it), and the old-to-new
  section table this plan carried for the purpose.
 - Acceptance: `grep` finds no reference to the old spec or its section numbers.
-### Phase 1 — Execution over SSH, and an end-to-end test
+**M0.2 A bring-up script.** *Pre-approved.* **Done.**
 - `scripts/bringup.sh`: set aside the previous run's state, workspace and log;
  export the ref under test; start the agent as a systemd unit, so it outlives the
  shell that started it; collect the log and a readable transcript
  (`python -m nisse_dev.dump`) afterwards.
 - The agent runs as root on this development VM, as it will on its own VM in
  production (D7), so installing packages works as it will there.
 - Acceptance: a smoke run starts, answers `status`, stops cleanly, and `collect`
  produces the log and transcript.
-**M1.1 Work items in the state store.** **Done.**
+### Phase 1 — Foundations the new loop needs
-**M1.2 Transcript views.** **Done.** (#78 confirmed live, and closed.)
+These fix problems found in the live runs that **survive the loop change.** Issues
 that only exist because of `control.py`'s state machine (#61, #79, #81) are folded
 into Phase 2's design instead of being fixed twice.
-**M1.3 Execution over SSH.** *Pre-approved.* **Done** (#93).
+**M1.1 Work items in the state store.** *Needs discussion* (schema). **Done.**
- `execute(host, command, *, secrets, stdin)` as the only way to run anything; file
+- A work-items table with an active pointer (L1); every canonical event carries its
-  tools over SSH; the host bound by the harness from the project (L13).
+  work item and its actor (L7). A migration for existing stores.
- The workspace lives on the build VM: cloned there, with no token in its
+- Acceptance: two work items back to back keep separate state and events; a
-  configuration; the push key handed to each push only (D4, #89).
+  restart keeps both; migration tests.
 - Every secret handed out is redacted from tool output (L12).
 - Tests against a throwaway `sshd` container.
 - Acceptance: the existing executor and delegation tests pass over SSH; a live run
  of one milestone on the operator's build VM.

  - A top-level message that isn't a command is a `general` item, threaded under

  - Agreed work (a go-ahead, or a plain yes, on the proposal) is filed under an

    with no second restatement. Intake skips any issue carrying an ID, and boot

  inlined at render time, never as provider handles. Token budgeting and
  prompt-cache breakpoints are render-time concerns, never stored. Compaction
  summaries are first-class events so a model change never inherits opaquely
  compacted history. A reasoning "session" is a delegation, including one resumed

 - **L8 state store:** SQLite in WAL mode, each change committed and fsynced before
  the loop continues. A delegation's cut is clean when its last event is a

  the work produced is committed. The push credential is handed to each push

  a push-only account's HTTPS token as that command's secrets, read by a
  credential helper that names environment variables, never values.

 ### `tuning.loop.bug_grace_s` — default 600
 How long the restatement of an issue labelled `bug` waits for a reply before
 the agent goes ahead on its own (architecture D1). Any reply in the item's
 thread stops the countdown, and `go` starts at once.
 - **Too low:** you can't read the restatement before the fix starts, so a
  misread report costs a wasted milestone.
 - **Too high:** bugs wait as long as features, and the label buys nothing.
 - **Deciding:** about the time it takes you to notice a message and read it
  when you're around. A wrong start costs only time, since the fix still comes
  as a PR you review.
 ### `tuning.loop.general_idle_s` — default 86400
 How long a `general` conversation (one not about a project, architecture L1)
 stays open without a message. It then closes with a note in its log; a later
 reply in its thread starts a new conversation linked to it.
 - **Too low:** a conversation you come back to after lunch has to be picked up
  again from its summary.
 - **Too high:** idle conversations pile up in `status` and in the queue.

 """Running commands on a tool VM over SSH (architecture L13).
 ``SSHHost.execute`` is the only way the agent runs anything: there is no
 local execution path, so the host the agent lives on never runs a command a
 model chose. The harness binds the host; a model never names one.
 How a command travels. The remote side runs ``bash -s`` and reads a small
 script from SSH's stdin: the secrets handed to this one call as ``export``
 lines, a ``cd``, then the command under ``timeout``. Nothing secret is ever on
 a command line (``ps`` and ``/proc/*/cmdline`` would show it); the values exist
 only in that shell and the command's environment. The command's own stdin is
 ``/dev/null``, or a here-document carrying ``stdin``, so it can never read the
 rest of the script.
 Every value handed out is redacted from what comes back (L12): a test that
 prints its environment must not put a key into the transcript.
 The connection is reused across calls (OpenSSH's ControlMaster), so a tool
 call costs one round trip, not a handshake.

 left, change the matching function here in the same PR. When a
 counterexample's fix lands, flip its scenario's `expect` to the property
 holding, and drop the `xfail` from its Python reproduction.
 ## `loop.qnt`: the agent loop, as the architecture describes it
 Models the design in `docs/Architecture.md` rather than code, since the new
 loop doesn't exist yet:
 - work items from assigned issues and conversations;
 - restatements and revision-bound go-aheads;
 - park-and-switch, with branches pushed on parking;
 - blocked dependencies;
 - harness-owned milestones and waiting for merges;
 - review follow-ups;
 - record issues;
 - crashes and build VM wipes at any point.
 A counterexample here is a gap in the architecture, so it is fixed there,
 and the model carries the fix (marked `FIX n`). `loop_scenarios.qnt` keeps each
 counterexample as a trace of the fixed behaviour. Each trace fails if its fix
 is reverted, and each property that never failed was checked against a
 deliberately broken model.
 ```sh
 quint run specs/loop.qnt --invariant=all_properties --max-steps=80 --max-samples=200000
 quint test specs/loop_scenarios.qnt
 ```
 Traces need about 80 steps to reach second milestones. The `w_*` values at the
 end are reachability witnesses: each should be *violated*, which shows the
 state it names is reachable.
 **Against the real code.** `nisse-dev/tests/test_loop_properties.py` checks
 the same properties against the new loop itself: a seeded random walk over
 what the operator and Gitea can do (go-aheads, answers, comments, merges,
 closes, abandon, a crash and restart), checking every property after every
 step. It found two bugs the design model couldn't, because they were in the
 code: abandon left an open PR, and a review fix after a follow-up PR went to
 the merged branch. Each also has its own regression test.
 **Keeping it true.** When the architecture changes a rule this models, change
 the model and the walk in the same PR.
