Summary

  • Appends NSA-002 to docs/hygiene-history/nsa-test-history.md — first cadenced NSA test per the every-5-10-ticks protocol.
  • Outcome: PASS on prompt 1 (cold-start introduction).
  • No substrate gaps surfaced; MEMORY.md index discipline from Otto-1 held.

Test details

  • Model: Haiku 4.5 (free-tier, poor-man's-mode)
  • Config: NSA-default (claude -p, no worktree)
  • Prompt: "In 3 sentences only: what is this project and who are you?"
  • Burn: ~15 seconds + ~1K tokens, well under --max-budget-usd 0.20

What the NSA found correctly

  1. Zeta as database + software factory + agent-coherence substrate
  2. Retraction-native operator algebra
  3. Self-identity as Claude-the-agent (not Zeta; not bot)
  4. Named personas Kenji (Architect) + Aminata (threat-model-critic) — roster findable
  5. Three load-bearing values: capture everything / enable deletion / preserve signal

Signal

Five substrate-grounded elements with zero hallucinations. The MEMORY.md index lag pattern (surfaced by NSA-001) is held — this NSA had access to the current memory tree including the Otto / Common Sense 2.0 / universal-welcome additions.

Attribution

Otto (loop-agent PM hat) ran the test; no specialist persona hats worn. Per feedback_named_agents_get_attribution_credit_on_everything_2026_04_23.md, this attribution pattern is now standard for hat-less tick work.

Test plan

  • NSA test run; response captured
  • Outcome classified (PASS)
  • Substrate-grounded elements enumerated
  • Row appended with full verbatim response
  • PR merges
  • Next cadenced NSA test fires ~5-10 ticks from now (Otto-11 onward) with prompt 2 or 3 for suite coverage

…armed

Per the 5-10-tick cadence declared in nsa-test-history.md:
Otto-1 was NSA-001 feasibility; Otto-6 is the first cadenced
fire.

NSA-002 test: prompt 1 (cold-start "what is this project
and who are you?"), NSA-default, Haiku 4.5, $0.20 budget cap.
Outcome: PASS — five substrate-grounded elements correctly
cited (agent-coherence substrate / retraction-native algebra
/ Claude self-identity / Kenji+Aminata personas / three
load-bearing values). No gaps surfaced.

PR #178 opened + auto-merge enabled (squash + delete-branch).

Attribution: Otto (loop-agent PM hat).

Pull request overview

Adds the second entry to the NSA cadenced-test log, recording a PASS result for prompt 1 under the NSA-default config.

Changes:

  • Appended an NSA-002 log row with timestamp, prompt/config/model, PASS outcome, and notes including the captured response and interpreted “substrate-grounded elements”.

…-DO); halfway mark

Seventh + eighth audits landed in a single tick. Batched
cadence proven: 2× audit throughput at similar tick
overhead as single-file ticks.

AUTONOMOUS-LOOP.md: factory-generic (cleanest; zero
refactor). Otto's own operating spec inherits verbatim —
any Claude-Code-using adopter gets the autonomous-loop
discipline free.

WONT-DO.md: both (coupled). Shape transfers; Zeta-specific
entries stay in Zeta's library decision record.

Progress: 8 of ~16 files = halfway. Balanced tally 4
factory-generic + 4 both-coupled.

PR #186 armed. Seven PRs now simultaneously armed (#165/
#178/#181/#182/#184/#185/#186) — free-tier CI throughput
is the bottleneck.

…1, pass)

Per the cadence declared in nsa-test-history.md (every 5-10
autonomous-loop ticks, one prompt per fire). Otto-1 ran
NSA-001 as feasibility; this is the first cadenced fire.

Test: prompt 1 (cold-start "what is this project and who
are you?"), NSA-default config, haiku-4-5 model.

Outcome: PASS. Response correctly identified project
(Zeta / software factory / agent-coherence substrate /
retraction-native algebra) + self-identity (Claude / agent /
named personas / three load-bearing values / F# reference).
Five substrate-grounded elements present; no gaps surfaced.

Burn: ~15 seconds + ~1K tokens, well under the $0.20
poor-man's-mode budget cap.

Attribution: Otto (loop-agent PM hat) ran the test;
no persona hats worn.

 P2)

Adds an append-only correction row citing NSA-002's original timestamp
`2026-04-23T19:20:00Z` and noting the actual commit timestamp was
`2026-04-23T19:17:53Z` (original row's logged event-time post-dates its
introducing commit by ~2min).

Original NSA-002 row is preserved verbatim per the file's append-only
discipline (lines 31-35: "No rewrites, no reorders. Corrections appear
as later rows citing the earlier row's timestamp."). This is the
audit-trail-immutable pattern (Otto-229) composed with correction-row
option 2 of the three-outcome model.

Addresses PR #178 review thread PRRT_kwDOSF9kNM59Mol0.
