Runtime account

Work and evidence basis

llmwiki's consequential work is a cross-session loop: capture session material, have a model file useful evidence-backed knowledge into project Markdown, and deliver selected knowledge to later coding sessions. The ordinary writer is the foreground host model following a shipped skill, not a model hidden inside every engine command. The Bun CLI supplies extraction, bookkeeping and deterministic checks. Optional engine-launched generation is a different path with different admission controls. The frozen boundary and external-host limits are in boundary. All source findings below use SRC-1 at that boundary. Implementation is distinguished from natural-language procedure; no target execution was performed and no supplied trace establishes activation or benefit.

The inspected routes are RT-RTE-warm-save, RT-RTE-passive-capture, RT-RTE-context-delivery, RT-RTE-edit-rules, RT-RTE-auto-update, and RT-RTE-deep-maintenance. They involve the RT-CMP-host-model and optional RT-CMP-generative-model. Their decisions operate on natural-language source/page content plus symbolic paths, metadata, offsets, eligibility predicates and receipts. Model weights are outside the checkout.

Additional inspection beyond the boundary's initial account covered the full src/engine/claude.ts, src/engine/autoupdate.ts, src/engine/extract.ts, src/engine/update-pages.ts, src/engine/models.ts, src/hook-cli.ts, skill/wiki-save.md, skill/wiki-deep.md, adapters/openclaw/llmwiki.ts, daemon/autoupdate-all.sh and hooks/hooks.json; selected dispatch, identity and extraction ranges of src/cli.ts; capture routing in src/daemon/watch.ts; extraction/mark checks in src/engine/update.ts; publication in src/engine/repo-write.ts; cold-start construction in src/engine/context.ts; turn assembly and alternate channels in src/engine/turncontext.ts; rule parsing, filtering and gating in src/engine/edit-rules.ts; and diagnostic handling in src/engine/doctor.ts. Searches located OpenCode's context and close-out callers in adapters/opencode/llmwiki.ts. These add implementation and doctrine/design evidence, not observed runs. Remaining modules and host internals have not been exhaustively audited.

Ordinary invocation, end to end

An enrolled project session receives cold-start context through SessionStart and prompt-related knowledge through UserPromptSubmit. Hooks run lightweight src/hook-cli.ts; the human CLI is src/cli.ts. Hook registration also names PreToolUse for Edit, Write, MultiEdit, NotebookEdit and Bash. SessionStart records a route hint when the host supplies transcript and worktree identity, builds context, records an emission when session identity is present, and writes the host envelope. Missing or malformed start payload falls back to the positional repository/current directory; it loses the route hint, not necessarily cold-start context. Missing turn payload or prompt, by contrast, returns silence. These distinctions matter to both read coverage and later exact-session resolution (SRC-1, hooks/hooks.json, src/hook-cli.ts).

The user invokes /wiki-save in the host. The model reads the save procedure and applicable conventions, resolves the exact current session identity and calls save-current. The CLI refuses an empty session ID or an unenrolled project. It uses matching route hints, matching existing queue rows, and exact OpenCode session discovery; records belonging to other repository buckets are excluded. Manual save can enqueue a session below the passive daemon's 50-line threshold. Failure is explicit rather than a recency fallback (SRC-1, src/cli.ts, skill/wiki-save.md).

The model requests update-next on only the returned transcript paths. Code canonicalizes aliases to the queued path, starts at its byte watermark, selects the recorded source parser, screens transcript text, and creates a fixed snapshot. Interactive extraction passes cap: Infinity, minChars: 0; it does not inherit the ordinary extractor's default 700-character cap or 180-character assistant threshold. Pages contain up to 20 whole retained utterances. They group users and assistant conclusions rather than preserving an interleaved conversation stream. The parser omits sidechain and compact-summary rows; a harness summary may be printed separately as draft material. The skill requires grounding claims in the extract rather than that summary. Source mutation roots are advisory routing evidence, not an enforced project reassignment (SRC-1, src/cli.ts, src/engine/update.ts, src/engine/update-pages.ts, src/engine/extract.ts).

The host model chooses what is useful, classifies it, authors pages through its ordinary filesystem tools, and runs page lint. Routine decisions/insights can become stable by model judgment; human direction changes and unresolved contradictions go to a Q./A. review queue. Direction changes do not advance the transcript watermark under the procedure. The engine does not intercept all host writes: the instruction to omit fabricated claims is a model-facing policy. On a filed range, update-done requires the exact last issued end offset and rejects rewinds. Issuance requires all snapshot pages to have been served sequentially, not proof that the model read or understood them. A skipped mark has a deliberately weaker check. The host then refreshes current-state and active rules, appends the log, and runs registration, OKF normalization, indexing, reconciliation and lint. Only after actual close-out success should it record a completed save event. The terminal user output is a short save/backlog/L0/check report, not just an advanced watermark (SRC-1, skill/wiki-save.md, src/engine/update.ts).

Later sessions consume the resulting pages through the context route. Source-native context control is chiefly selective supply, not eviction of old host turns: L0 is privileged at cold start, per-turn knowledge is relevance-gated and bounded, conventions are fetched by named section, and oversized L0 detail is moved to a linked page by instruction. The system does not thereby control host compaction. Save explicitly favors warm inline work over delegation; if a subagent is asked for a long document, its instructed return is a scratchpad path rather than the full body. That is a context-isolation protocol dependent on the external host, not an implemented llmwiki worker scheduler (SRC-1, skill/wiki-save.md, src/engine/context.ts, src/engine/turncontext.ts).

Forcing cases and control boundaries

Four selected forcing families challenge tempting system-wide guarantees:

1. Exact selection is not complete save. A short manual session bypasses the daemon's volume threshold but still needs exact identity. Sequential extraction issuance permits update-done; it does not prove authored content, lint success or close-out. --skipped bypasses the issuance requirement intentionally. Autoupdate marks directly after its own gates rather than using interactive issuance. Thus interactive completeness is a scoped bookkeeping invariant, not a universal grounded-save guarantee (SRC-1, src/cli.ts, src/engine/update.ts, src/engine/update-pages.ts, src/engine/autoupdate.ts).
2. A second call is not necessarily a different model. WRITE/VERIFY are separate calls, but model selection is configurable and unpinned. Equal explicit model arguments cause a warning, not rejection; the warning predicate does not compare all final resolved models. Direction candidates take the human-review branch regardless of the verifier's acceptance token, although screening and virtual lint still gate queue creation. Strict path grounding is opt-in; default advisory measurements do not block publication (SRC-1, src/engine/autoupdate.ts, src/engine/models.ts).
3. Tool-free is a recommended deployment, not a spawn invariant. An unset provider command returns unavailable. A configured command is argv, not a shell string, but it may be another provider or an arbitrary wrapper. The spawn path does not call claudeCommandRisk; doctor merely prints its warning. Scratch cwd and child environment markers reduce self-injection, not filesystem/network authority. Host-model tool grants, subprocess grants and deployed OS isolation are distinct and unobserved (SRC-1, src/engine/claude.ts, src/engine/doctor.ts).
4. Rule gating is delivery, not rule compliance. Default gate mode denies a first matching path once, then permits retry. Advise/off, missing session identity, no recognized Bash target, no matching rule, unavailable marker storage and caught failures can yield no denial. The hook serves edit rules to subagents even though the turn hook suppresses agent-labelled payloads. Turn pointer-only mode returns before excerpt rule eligibility; a cold or stale rule can remain discoverable as a pointer without delivery of its imperative text. Ordinary source-changed non-rule prose can be excerpted with a warning. No global ban on stale data or unauthorized operations follows (SRC-1, src/hook-cli.ts, src/engine/edit-rules.ts, src/engine/turncontext.ts).

The load-bearing owners and strengths are therefore:

Control	Owner / enforcement	Strength and covered paths	External contract / alternate paths	Conclusion statuses
Interactive extract receipt	readUpdatePage, updateDoneProblem, markUpdated	invariant within non-skipped interactive marking: sequential serving, exact issued offset, no rewind	host must actually read/file; skipped and direct autoupdate marks differ	implementation: wired; operation: uninspected
Routine claim grounding	foreground model under save skill; optional verifier and lint under autoupdate	policy for warm content; protocol plus symbolic gates for unattended non-direction publication	model truth judgment is not a proof; direction queues differ; arbitrary host writes need not pass CLI checks	implementation: wired for CLI gates; operation: uninspected
One-time pre-edit reminder	buildEditRules and PreToolUse envelope	protocol: first matching path denial in gate mode, not a persistent authorization check	host must honor deny envelope; alternate hosts, tools and shell targets need their own wiring	implementation: wired; operation: uninspected
Generative subprocess restriction	operator-configured argv and external provider	no claimed guarantee for all accepted templates; recommended tool-free configuration only	provider flags, wrapper behavior and OS permissions remain external	implementation: afforded; operation: uninspected
New-page non-overwrite	createRepoFile	invariant of this publication helper: exclusive temp then hard-link; existing destination returns conflict	ordinary host editing and replacement helper differ; not a transaction across page/index/log/watermark	implementation: wired; operation: uninspected

No full-loop crash transaction is established. Unattended accepted publication creates the page, then indexes/references/logs and marks the transcript. A failure between these steps can leave a page without its later bookkeeping; existing-destination handling preserves the page and pending transcript on retry. The helper's complete-file atomicity does not establish recovery of the whole sequence. Warm recovery remains model-directed repair, checks and explicit completion reporting (SRC-1, src/engine/repo-write.ts, src/engine/autoupdate.ts, skill/wiki-save.md).

Material alternate consumers and maintenance

OpenCode requests opencode-context and supplies the real session identity for close-out. Unlike the JSON hook turn path, that command has no agent-label suppression check; it accepts explicit prompt/session flags. Its enrollment check remains. OpenClaw invokes CLI context and turn-context as subprocesses after an enrollment probe, caches cold context per session and returns it as prependSystemContext, with turn results as appendContext. It deletes session cache entries on lifecycle callbacks. This is a different delivery channel and cache horizon, not proof of universal hook equivalence. OpenClaw's own source says live Gateway verification has not occurred. Host channel semantics are external contracts (SRC-1, src/hook-cli.ts, adapters/opencode/llmwiki.ts, adapters/openclaw/llmwiki.ts).

Deep maintenance is an explicit foreground procedure for backlog, consolidation, overview, semantic review, gaps, source rechecks, topic distillation and bounded storage maintenance. Model proposals can revise retained knowledge and therefore later context; direction and schema migration require human decisions in the skill. The optional unattended runner iterates pending repositories and invokes only autoupdate, with dry-run unless --commit; its comment that doubtful facts quarantine is broader than the inspected engine branch, which omits rejected non-direction candidates and advances them as skipped. The executable branch governs this report. No autonomous modification of llmwiki's product code, model parameters or provider machinery is established by these routes. Deep's suggestion to update a stale engine clone is a human-facing procedure, not evidence of an engine self-rewriting loop (SRC-1, skill/wiki-deep.md, daemon/autoupdate-all.sh, src/engine/autoupdate.ts).

Shared records

Components

RT-CMP-host-model

Label: Foreground host model

Source-native identity: the strong model executing /wiki-save and /wiki-deep in Claude Code, Codex or another supported host. Representational form: distributed-parametric model; weights reside with the external provider/local host, not in llmwiki's Markdown or SQLite. Its exact version is not pinned by these skills. Parameter change during an invocation is uninspected; the source requests no weight update. A host's mutable model endpoint may resolve differently; endpoint resolution and actual grant set are outside captured implementation. Its instructed role is proposal, classification and routine admission, with human direction judgment distinct (SRC-1, skill/wiki-save.md, skill/wiki-deep.md).

Routine judgment by the strong model, only direction by the human: classification, grounding checks, topic merges, and decision/insight confirmation are decided directly as status: stable — no one-by-one checks with the human. --- skill/wiki-save.md

RT-CMP-generative-model

Label: Optional WRITE and VERIFY model service

Source-native identity: the model selected for llm(prompt, model); light and heavy roles in autoupdate. Representational form: distributed-parametric; parameter storage and inference implementation are external to llmwiki. Engine code neither updates nor persists model weights. Whether provider parameters change during operation is uninspected. Exact version is not inherently pinned: environment/TOML can select a model string, session model inference and harness default can supply one otherwise. A configured alias/endpoint can resolve differently; no immutable-weight identity check is shown. Separate calls do not guarantee separate model identities (SRC-1, src/engine/models.ts, src/engine/claude.ts, src/engine/autoupdate.ts).

Operative objects

RT-OBJ-save-skill

Label: Save skill and fetched conventions

Source-native identity: skill/wiki-save.md, with deferred procedural detail obtained via conventions --section. Representational form: natural-language instructions interpreted by the host model; path/command names are symbolic interface elements. Storage substrate: shipped Markdown, projected into plugin skill assets by the distribution build. This record is the writer policy, not the wiki pages or the capture queue. Scope and latency rules change what the writer is asked to read/write; delivery does not establish compliance (SRC-1, skill/wiki-save.md).

Routes

RT-RTE-warm-save

Label: Warm session close-out

Endpoints/progression: explicit host skill invocation → exact-session enqueue → screened snapshot pages → host-authored wiki/log/L0 → deterministic checks → completion event and user report. Owner: foreground model, with CLI ownership of identity/offset checks. State includes source-kind queue row, byte offset, SQLite read snapshot and issued offset; files persist in docs/wiki/. Human invocation supplies the task but does not individually approve routine pages. Natural-language skill/evidence judgments and symbolic identity/receipt rules have different force (SRC-1, skill/wiki-save.md, src/cli.ts, src/engine/update.ts, src/engine/update-pages.ts).

• implementation conclusion status: wired
• operation conclusion status: uninspected
• Immediate return: transcript paths and extract pages from CLI; ultimately a short host-authored close-out report.
• Later read-back: authored Markdown reaches subsequent context and maintenance invocations; snapshot pages remain fixed until marked, with appended transcript bytes reserved for a later increment.
• Delegated visibility: save instructs inline warm work; a long-document subagent should write a scratchpad and return its path, not its body. Actual host isolation is uninspected.
• Selection predicate: exact session and repository bucket for enqueue; source-kind parser from current watermark; model chooses useful human-grounded material from served extracts.
• Invalidation or expiry: snapshot clears on marking/offset or queue lifecycle changes; issued receipt is consumed after successful interactive marking; pending backlog remains deferred.
• Activation or effect: CLI can advance the watermark; model is instructed to create stable routine pages, queue direction/contradictions, refresh L0 and record completion only after checks. Actual model compliance is unobserved.
• Evidence limits: source wires extraction and marking, not truthful authorship or actual reading. A skipped mark intentionally has weaker receipt requirements; save-current is not completion.

Admission: the model proposes, classifies and admits routine page content; human direction answers can approve or discard queued drafts. The human can decline save or answer review items, but routine confirmation is explicitly not per-content human approval. Operating mode is an open current-session request, not an experiment or curriculum. No expected-answer oracle is supplied: transcript evidence is a grounding reference, not a known correct page. Guidance is the save skill, team conventions, raw extract and citation rules. Proposed changes persist as Markdown and rule metadata. Unsupported claims should be omitted, lint findings repaired, and prior decisions superseded by a new page rather than silently rewritten. No guaranteed automatic rollback of host edits is established.

if (issued === null) return no update-next extract was issued for this transcript — ${rerun}; --- src/engine/update.ts

const complete = newServed === pages.length; --- src/engine/update-pages.ts

The human doesn't hand-write the wiki. The LLM writes all categories — summarizing what the human decided/realized, grounded in the transcript. --- skill/wiki-save.md

RT-RTE-passive-capture

Label: Passive session capture

Endpoints/progression: source discovery → route/hint → enrollment → materialization → volume/fresh-enrollment gate → capture enqueue. Owner: daemon sweep/file watcher; parser ownership follows source adapter kind. Identity is transcript/session/repository route, with revision tokens avoiding redundant materialization. This route retains source availability and offsets for later writers rather than itself making semantic pages (SRC-1, src/daemon/watch.ts).

• implementation conclusion status: wired
• operation conclusion status: uninspected
• Immediate return: daemon counters/logs and queue outcome, not a user-facing wiki answer.
• Later read-back: enqueued transcript path/source-kind/offset is consumed by save/deep or autoupdate.
• Delegated visibility: inapplicable — no model worker delegation occurs in this inspected routing stage.
• Selection predicate: discovered route with a resolvable enrolled repository; materialized session at least 50 lines; fresh enrollment checked immediately before enqueue; subagent detection passed into capture enqueue.
• Invalidation or expiry: route revision short-circuit is retained only for successful enqueue/short outcomes; failure clears retry tokens. Deep separately specifies pruning lost/dead rows.
• Activation or effect: eligible transcript metadata enters capture state; no automatic grounded-page admission follows merely from capture.
• Evidence limits: source discovery/parser internals were not exhaustively re-audited. This gate covers the inspected sweep, not every explicit file-read command or model tool.

if (!isEnrolled(route.repo)) { counts.skippedUnenrolled += 1; continue; } --- src/daemon/watch.ts

if (d.lines < THRESHOLD_LINES) return "skipped_short"; --- src/daemon/watch.ts

RT-RTE-context-delivery

Label: Cold-start and per-turn context delivery

Endpoints/progression: host event/adapter → enrolled project → cold L0 or prompt-related page selection → envelope or adapter return → host context. Owner: deterministic engine assembly and external host delivery. State includes current pages, currency signals, session seen-set and accumulated term weights; representation is symbolic selection over natural-language Markdown, not a retrieval-model call (SRC-1, src/hook-cli.ts, src/engine/context.ts, src/engine/turncontext.ts).

• implementation conclusion status: wired
• operation conclusion status: uninspected
• Immediate return: cold-start text or a bounded turn block, often empty; OpenCode returns JSON cold/turn/notice, OpenClaw returns host context fields.
• Later read-back: saved wiki content is read in subsequent invocations; session term/seen state shapes later selection. Cold context can be cached by the host adapter for that session.
• Delegated visibility: JSON turn hook suppresses agent-labelled payloads; the edit route differs. No equivalent agent suppression is implemented inside the explicit OpenCode-context command.
• Selection predicate: cold current-state with overview fallback; turn current-term coverage/relevance thresholds before affinity reorder, session dedupe and top-page limit. Optional commit/absence channels can replace or share the wiki block.
• Invalidation or expiry: retired pages excluded from turn candidates; cold pages remain pointers only; rules withheld by currency predicate; source-changed ordinary prose may remain with recheck warning; seen-state suppresses repeat suggestions.
• Activation or effect: assembled data is returned to host context and emission can be recorded. Following that material is not observed; an emission ledger is not evidence of causal use.
• Evidence limits: explicit manual reads can still inspect discoverable pages. Host truncation, compaction, channel interpretation and live multi-host compatibility remain external. This is selective supply, not control of the whole host window.

Cold L0 body is not universally chopped at its writing budget: l0OverNotice retains the body and adds a notice. Turn blocks reserve nudge space and omit an over-cap records block whole. Pointer-only mode returns before excerpt-level currency enforcement. Neither retained-memory admission nor prompt delivery ensures factual correctness (SRC-1, src/engine/context.ts, src/engine/turncontext.ts).

if (!excerptEnabled()) return [head, ...pages.map(pointer)].join("\n");

--- src/engine/turncontext.ts

if (e.page.cold) return; // cold pages remain discoverable, but never auto-inject claims or rules --- src/engine/turncontext.ts

if (e.rule && !canInjectRule(e.page)) return; --- src/engine/turncontext.ts

RT-RTE-edit-rules

Label: Once-per-path edit rule gate

Endpoints/progression: PreToolUse payload → recognized target path(s) → enrolled root → parsed current rules → glob match → exclusive per-rule/per-path marker → deny or advise envelope. Owner: llmwiki constructs decision, host enforces it. Rule content is natural language, applies_to globs and marker keys are symbolic; caches/markers use private temporary storage keyed by project/session/agent (SRC-1, src/hook-cli.ts, src/engine/edit-rules.ts).

• implementation conclusion status: wired
• operation conclusion status: uninspected
• Immediate return: deny reason plus reminder on first eligible matching path in gate mode; otherwise advisory context or no output.
• Later read-back: retained page rule is read at later edits; temporary markers suppress repeated rules/denials in the same scoped session.
• Delegated visibility: edit hook deliberately serves subagents, with agent identity part of marker scope.
• Selection predicate: valid rule metadata outside queue/quiz, non-retired/non-cold, current freshness signals, repo-relative target matching globs; Bash targets originate from a string scanner rather than arbitrary shell semantics.
• Invalidation or expiry: wiki scan signature rebuilds declaration cache; freshness is checked even on cache hits; rule/path markers dedupe, with stale-marker pruning available.
• Activation or effect: first eligible path can be denied once; retry is permitted without semantic proof of obedience. Off/advise and error paths weaken or remove gating.
• Evidence limits: no live host envelope enforcement observed; unrecognized tools/targets and manual writes are not covered. A rule need not carry human verification metadata to pass the inspected parser, despite comments describing confirmed rules.

The instruction that active rules express human conventions is a writing policy, not a parser guarantee of human provenance: ruleOf checks shape and trims content; parseRules excludes queue/quiz and retired/cold pages; loadEditRules checks currency. No human signature check is present in those inspected consumers. Human approval and metadata eligibility must not be conflated (SRC-1, skill/wiki-save.md, src/engine/edit-rules.ts).

return v === "advise" || v === "off" ? v : "gate"; --- src/engine/edit-rules.ts

const deny = input.mode === "gate" && shown.map((rel) => claim(dir, keyOf("p", rel))).some(Boolean); --- src/engine/edit-rules.ts

RT-RTE-auto-update

Label: Opt-in unattended page publication

Endpoints/progression: explicit CLI or scheduled all-repository caller → pending transcript parser → screened WRITE prompt → page extraction → grounding measurement → screened VERIFY prompt → category branch → lint → create/index/log/mark. Owner: engine, configured generator and verifier; human is the later decision maker for human-review categories, not a required approver of routine facts. Dry-run is the default publication mode, but still performs generative calls when available. Extractor defaults can cap turns here, unlike interactive whole-turn extraction (SRC-1, src/engine/autoupdate.ts, src/engine/extract.ts, src/cli.ts, daemon/autoupdate-all.sh).

• implementation conclusion status: wired
• operation conclusion status: uninspected
• Immediate return: per-transcript verdict, destination/grounding/check data, accepted flag on commit paths or dry-run metadata; no-provider/screened cases return explicit skips.
• Later read-back: accepted Markdown and review drafts feed later wiki consumers; log/watermark state affects subsequent runs. Rejected non-direction candidates are omitted while their transcript offsets advance as skipped.
• Delegated visibility: WRITE receives screened extract; VERIFY receives screened extract and candidate, not the full host session. Child scratch cwd and environment markers suppress llmwiki self-injection; configured provider tool behavior remains external.
• Selection predicate: pending queue and optional limit; enough parsed turns; screened non-gutted blocks; candidate frontmatter; non-direction acceptance requires exact verifier token, enabled grounding gate and no lint errors. Human-review category takes its separate queue branch.
• Invalidation or expiry: absent provider, gutted input, write failure, direction queue and destination conflict preserve pending watermark; non-direction rejection marks skipped. Source raw transcript is retained for possible reprocessing; no automatic rewind is demonstrated.
• Activation or effect: commit can create a new page atomically without replacing an existing destination, then index/log/mark it; dry-run does not publish pages. Actual publication or later model activation is unobserved.
• Evidence limits: verifier agreement is model judgment, not factual proof or a known-answer oracle; model distinctness is not enforced; default grounding is advisory; downstream consistency is not one transaction.

Admission: WRITE proposes. Code chooses category from model metadata/config, normalizes provenance, attaches excerpts for ordinary pages and applies lint. VERIFY decides a required acceptance signal for non-direction candidates; unsupported claims should cause rejection. A human may later confirm or discard human-review drafts. In that branch the verifier token is not an admission requirement, but candidate screening and virtual lint still apply. Guidance is the schema/grounding/usefulness prompts; persisted results are pages, provenance, review questions, logs and offsets, not model weights. Operating mode is open-ended session extraction, not a bounded evaluation curriculum. Reference evidence is the extract (and tool-fact corpus for deterministic grounding); no expected-answer page oracle is supplied. Recovery preserves existing destinations on conflict; rejects are not auto-rolled back into pending.

const verified = /^VERIFIED[\s.!]*$/.test(verdict.trim().toUpperCase());

RT-RTE-deep-maintenance

Label: Foreground deep maintenance

Endpoints/progression: explicit /wiki-deep → scope announcement/migration preflight → warm save → selected backlog → consolidation/overview → semantic review/rechecks/gaps → distillation → pruning and index health. Owner: foreground model following natural-language procedure, with human decisions for direction and migration; deterministic CLI commands supply bounded checks. This record establishes the shipped orchestration policy, not a complete audit of each maintenance command (SRC-1, skill/wiki-deep.md).

• implementation conclusion status: claimed
• operation conclusion status: uninspected
• Immediate return: host report of filed/skipped/backlog/review/gaps/distillation and maintenance measurements.
• Later read-back: revised topic/L0 pages, conflicts, review reports and gap/recheck results are intended for later maintenance and context consumers.
• Delegated visibility: inapplicable — deep inherits save's foreground procedure; no separate implemented delegation scheduler is established here.
• Selection predicate: important backlog content, durable/recurring topic concepts, grounded findings and up to five oldest open gaps; distill oversized topics from cited raw sources.
• Invalidation or expiry: procedure requires fresh review snapshots on stale import and snapshots before distill; it specifies capture-prune aging and deterministic checks. Detailed enforcement belongs to uninspected command internals.
• Activation or effect: model-directed changes can alter future supplied knowledge; instructions require preserving grounded lines/conflicts and human-owned direction. Compliance and benefit remain unobserved.
• Evidence limits: source skill is doctrine/design; no execution or exhaustive review-import/distill/recheck implementation tracing supports stronger enforcement here.

Admission: model proposes routine topic/gap/source corrections and can omit unsupported content; human can bail out at scope announcement and must approve migration/direction. Guidance is save plus consolidation, review, distillation and feedback references. Changed content persists in wiki pages and maintenance artifacts. Rejection/recovery policy includes retrying stale review preparation, retaining conflict callouts, snapshot-first distillation and passing verification before proceeding. Operating mode is an explicit open maintenance request; no expected-answer oracle is supplied. Source-based criticism of a page is not by itself evidence of a theory builder revising its own methodology, model learning or successful self-improvement.

Never migrate without the human's OK; never defer it until after the volume work. --- skill/wiki-deep.md

Claims

RT-CLM-tool-free

Label: Recommended tool-free generative child

Claimed operation: engine comments recommend no tools for generation on transcript-derived prompts. The engine has an opt-in argv template and no default command, but does not enforce the recommended flags at spawn. Diagnostic risk detection is advisory and only recognizes certain Claude launch shapes. Conclusion: tool-free operation is a deployment choice, not an invariant of all configured providers (SRC-1, src/engine/claude.ts, src/engine/doctor.ts).

export const RECOMMENDED_CLAUDE_CMD = "claude -p {prompt} --model {model} --tools= --permission-mode dontAsk --strict-mcp-config " + "--safe-mode --no-session-persistence"; --- src/engine/claude.ts

const proc = Bun.spawn(argv, { cwd: scratch, --- src/engine/claude.ts

RT-CLM-independent-verify

Label: Independent second-model verification

Claimed operation: unattended updates use independent second-model review before ordinary admission. The implementation wires two calls but leaves selection configurable; equal explicit arguments merely warn. Resolved/default model identity and provider-version independence are not enforced, so an independent second model is conditional (SRC-1, src/engine/autoupdate.ts, src/engine/models.ts).

We don't hard-fail (a single capable model is a legitimate budget // setup), but we surface it so the operator knows the independence guarantee is void. --- src/engine/autoupdate.ts

Behavioral-authority paths

RT-BAP-save-instructions

Label: Save instructions to host author

Consumer: foreground host model. Channel: skill text and on-demand conventions. Force: natural-language authoring policy, including routine admission, direction review and grounding; not a filesystem enforcement layer. Horizon: current close-out/deep invocation and repeated future invocations using the shipped skill. Updated wiki data is distinct from this shipped policy. No observation establishes compliance (SRC-1, skill/wiki-save.md, RT-OBJ-save-skill, RT-RTE-warm-save).

RT-BAP-wiki-context

Label: Wiki data and rule delivery to future model

Consumer: future host model invocation. Channel: cold/turn host envelope, adapter system/context fields, or edit denial reason/advisory text. Force: reference-data framing for ordinary wiki text; intended imperative reminder for declared edit rules; symbolic one-time deny can interrupt an eligible edit independently of later obedience. Horizon: later turns/sessions until selection, currency, cache and session-marker rules alter delivery. This is a live architectural path from retained content to possible later behavior, not observed causal activation or improved capacity (SRC-1, src/hook-cli.ts, src/engine/turncontext.ts, src/engine/edit-rules.ts, adapters/openclaw/llmwiki.ts; RT-RTE-context-delivery, RT-RTE-edit-rules).
