Turn 5 coordination

Before dispatch

Question: Learning from this trial: what changed decisions, what did it cost, and what should change in the main plan or exploration procedure? Read kb/work/open-ended-work-economics/bootstrap-exploration/costs-before-turn-05.md and turn-01/coordination.md for measured earlier worker costs. Attribute procedural contributions from actual intermediate differences, but do not infer causal necessity or superiority without a comparison. Consider whether the narrowing to provenance packaging under-served the broader bootstrap purpose.

Investment rationale: Assess the retained contemporaneous record before recommending further investment. Separate useful conceptual corrections from demonstrated gains and judge which procedural elements merit another trial.

Operator intervention after turn 1: run all five turns without stopping. No substantive answer to the turn-1 purpose question is presumed. Use preceding integrations to reframe this starting direction when warranted. No response gate this turn.

Assignments

Sequential fresh workers: Explorer A (Trace decision changes and surviving contributions across the trial; propose revisions to the main plan grounded in the actual record.), Explorer B (Adversarial retrospective: inspect costs, repetition, dependence, untested claims and simpler conversation/delegation alternatives; identify what should be cut or tested next.), critic, integrator. Each owns its corresponding Markdown file here. Explorers cannot read current-turn peer outputs or coordination/results; both may read preceding integrations. Conceptual roles inherit gpt-6-astra; Sol is reserved for bulk/simple retrieval, which is not separately commissioned. Explorer budgets: depth 2, workers 2. Others: zero.

Coordinator disposition: all four workers completed; all five turns are now complete. Accept the final integration as a proposed revision, not adoption of a new main plan. Preserve the optional provenance comparison and reopen the broader learning-investment choice; do not automatically renew the four-role format. Final measured worker totals are in ../costs-final.md. No experiment, extraction, implementation, commit or deletion is authorized. Final findings, corrected attribution and surviving questions are in integration.md.

Raw returned session/audit paths and outcomes are retained in each coordinator-owned *-result.txt before the next launch. No nested jobs except bounded source ingests under the commission.
