+## 2026-08-28 runtime correction
+
+The first post-merge Strix execution (`33139957477`) failed before serving: the
+pinned orchestrator's `load_agents()` indexes the top-level `agents` field, but
+the launcher persisted only the list value. Follow-up PR [#1370](https://github.com/ContextualWisdomLab/.github/pull/1370)
+wraps both the launcher output and the standalone policy builder output in the
+loader-compatible `{"agents": [...]}` envelope. The regression is covered by
+`tests/test_contextual_orchestrator_review_policy.py` and the sidecar contract;
+the full local suite passed with `1689 passed, 1 skipped, 16 subtests passed`.
+
+The PR-target Noema check still runs the trusted base copy until this trusted
+workflow change is merged, so its reproduction of the old error is retained as
+bootstrap evidence rather than treated as a current-head runtime result.

-- Remaining (follow-up loops): read-only dispatch pool, `noema-review.yml`,

+- At the time of this 2026-08-27 snapshot, the remaining follow-up was the

+  historical observation is superseded by the current-main evidence below.

+## 2026-08-28 current-main routing and runtime recheck
+
+- Current protected-main candidate is `f8823a544c3c4c046977f8511f683e85f83eb496`,
+  the merge commit for #1364. #1360 is merged at
+  `17052a7ca3c16db90932a4d6036b43165ddee418`.
+- The current Required OpenCode dispatch, `noema-review.yml`, `strix.yml`,
+  and write-capable `pr-review-autofix.yml` all provision the pinned
+  `contextual-orchestrator` sidecar. Their model route is the
+  `contextual-orchestrator/orchestrator/free` gateway, with the five provider
+  secrets entering the sidecar KV and model discovery performed there. No
+  `COPILOT_GITHUB_TOKEN` route is present.
+- #1364 was merged by `seonghobae` while its terminal review decision remained
+  `CHANGES_REQUESTED`; this is an observed merge event, not protected-main
+  governance evidence. The required branch checks still include
+  `noema-review` and `opencode-review`.
+- Post-merge Strix run `33139957477` exposed a real sidecar runtime defect:
+  `contextual_orchestrator.orchestrator.load_agents()` requires an
+  `{"agents": [...]}` catalog envelope, while the launcher wrote a bare list.
+  Follow-up #1370 fixes the launcher and the standalone policy catalog writer
+  in commit `861463c11a7ca8b1f9179073e2a3db9eba5aa5ab`; its current head is
+  `38e0307c655823a1e474b29aae89f8cfcb1edbc0`. Focused tests and the full local
+  suite pass (`1689 passed, 1 skipped, 16 subtests passed`).
+- #1370 remains open and blocked against main `f8823a5`. Its PR-target Noema
+  run `33140830199` executes the trusted base launcher and reproduces the
+  pre-fix bare-list error; its `opencode-review` check fails closed because no
+  current-head OpenCode verdict exists. These are bootstrap evidence gaps,
+  not proof that the #1370 catalog-envelope patch fails.
