Pull request overview
Adds a new memory entry capturing an architectural concern about docs/ROUND-HISTORY.md (and other shared single-writer files) becoming a git merge hotspot under future multi-fork / multi-agent workflows, and indexes it in memory/MEMORY.md.
Changes:
- Added a new
memory/feedback_*.mdfile documenting the hotspot risk and listing candidate architectures for future research. - Updated
memory/MEMORY.mdto include the new memory entry at the top of the index.

… / multi-autonomous-agent — research after 0/0/0 (Aaron 2026-04-27) Aaron 2026-04-27 architectural concern raised during fork-storage taxonomy work: > "- docs/ROUND-HISTORY.md — round-close synthesis is project-wide > seems like we are going to need to backlog some research on this, > this could become an integration point git hot spot file if all > forks are writing to it, what about when we have multiple atonomus > agents, againt, we dont have to figure all this out now we are > trying to get to the startign point" Substrate captured: - **The concern**: shared single-writer files become git-merge-hotspots under multi-writer pressure. Today's single-pair operation (Aaron + Otto) doesn't surface contention; future multi-fork / multi- autonomous-agent operation will. - **Class of concerns**: not just ROUND-HISTORY.md — applies to any shared single-writer file. BACKLOG.md was already restructured for this reason (Otto-181 per-row pattern); same restructure may apply to other big shared files. - **5 architecture options listed** for future research: 1. Per-pair partitioned + compiled synthesis 2. Append-only structured format 3. CRDT-style merge-friendly format 4. Per-fork round-history + project-wide round-of-rounds 5. Move ROUND-HISTORY entirely to per-pair, drop the shared file - **Explicit deferral**: NOT for current session — Aaron's "we dont have to figure all this out now we are trying to get to the startign point". Backlog research, work after 0/0/0 reached. For now: ROUND-HISTORY stays Category A (shared) as current best guess, with this memory documenting the known weak spot.

…ole executing thread (Aaron 2026-04-27) Aaron 2026-04-27 execution-semantics clarification. Cross-AI courier-ferry agents (Amara/Gemini/Codex/Copilot) operate at SUBSTRATE LAYER — research, reviews, refinements, corrections. They do NOT operate at EXECUTION LAYER (commits, PRs, threads, memories, repo work). Otto operates at EXECUTION LAYER — reads ferry input as substrate, integrates via judgment, executes the resulting work. When a ferry offers to do execution-layer work (e.g., Gemini's "shall I create the doc?"), the right flow: 1. Receive offer as signal 2. Otto evaluates per protect-project mandate 3. Otto executes (or declines + teaches) 4. Aaron decides on routine-class disagreements Two unlock conditions for a second executing thread: 1. Peer mode (second AI instance with same factory access) 2. Git-contention resolution (per #54 ROUND-HISTORY hotspot research) Both need substrate work BEFORE peer-mode lands. Aaron confirmed partial capture in #55 (single-agent-speed → collaboration-speed trajectory). This memory adds the explicit ferry-vs-executor rule + the two named unlock conditions. Composes: - #55 single-agent-speed → collaboration-speed trajectory - #54 ROUND-HISTORY git-hotspot research (git-contention condition) - Otto-357 no directives = autonomy/execution-authority is Otto's - #57 protect-project = execution-layer evaluation - Otto-340 substrate-IS-identity (substrate vs execution layers) Does NOT diminish ferry value — substrate contributions are load-bearing. Only execution-layer offers get redirected. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>
