frontier-readiness: gap #5 audit — CONFLICT-RESOLUTION.md (both-coupled) by AceHack · Pull Request #183 · Lucent-Financial-Group/Zeta

AceHack · 2026-04-23T19:35:57Z

Summary

Fourth file audited in gap Round 29 — CI pipeline + three-way parity install + factory-improvement surge #5 (factory-vs-Zeta separation audit).
docs/CONFLICT-RESOLUTION.md → both (coupled): conference protocol shape is factory-generic; persona roster has 3 Zeta-tied specialists; Active Tensions section is fully Zeta-specific.

Section-by-section classification

9 sections:

7 factory-generic: preamble / alignment-cite-first / principles / conference protocol / humans-part-of-system / when-part-takes-over / reflection-cadence
1 both: "The parts" (persona roster shape generic; Zara / Algebra Owner / Query Planner scopes Zeta-specific)
1 zeta-library-specific: "Active tensions" — cites IStorageCostProbe / Plan.fs / WDC / router-coherence ADR

Refactor notes

Before split:

Generalise ~3 Zeta-tied specialist scopes (Zara → generic storage; Algebra Owner → generic algebra; Query Planner → generic)
Remove Active Tensions Zeta content; replace with template + adopter-fill-in; migrate current tensions to a Zeta-repo docs/LIBRARY-TENSIONS.md
Keep Otto in Frontier's roster — already factory-generic (autonomous-loop adopter pattern)

Effort: M.

Pattern observation

Rule-substrate hypothesis partially holds:

GOVERNANCE (PR frontier-readiness: gap #5 audit — GOVERNANCE.md (factory-generic) #181): factory-generic (cleanest)
CONFLICT-RESOLUTION: both-coupled (Active Tensions embeds Zeta-specifics)
Next tests: ALIGNMENT.md, AGENT-BEST-PRACTICES.md

Attribution

Otto (loop-agent PM hat); continuing 1-2-files-per-tick cadence.

Fourth file audited in gap #5. CONFLICT-RESOLUTION.md classified both (coupled). 9 sections classified: - 6 factory-generic (preamble / alignment-cite-first / principles / conference protocol / humans-part-of-system / when-part-takes-over / reflection-cadence — 7 actually) - 1 both (The parts: persona roster — shape generic, Zara/Algebra-Owner/Query-Planner scopes Zeta-specific) - 1 zeta-library-specific (Active tensions — cites IStorageCostProbe / Plan.fs / WDC / router-coherence ADR) Refactor notes: 1. Generalise Zeta-tied specialists (Zara, Algebra Owner, Query Planner) — ~3 specialist scopes out of 20+ 2. Remove Active Tensions Zeta-specific content; replace with template + adopter-fill-in; migrate current tensions to Zeta's own docs/LIBRARY-TENSIONS.md 3. Keep Otto (already factory-generic — any autonomous-loop adopter uses the pattern) Effort: M. Post-split: Frontier with surgical edits. Note re pattern hypothesis: continues mostly-factory- generic-with-Zeta-illustrative-sections shape of the rule substrate. GOVERNANCE (PR #181) was cleanest; CONFLICT-RESOLUTION has more Zeta embedding due to Active Tensions section. Attribution: Otto (loop-agent PM hat).

…pled) Fourth audit in gap #5. CONFLICT-RESOLUTION.md classified both-coupled: 7 sections factory-generic / 1 both (persona roster with 3 Zeta-tied specialists) / 1 zeta-library- specific (Active Tensions). Pattern hypothesis refined: rule substrates whose content is instructional are factory-generic; rule substrates whose content is state-logging (current tensions) embed Zeta specifics. Otto documented as first-class member of Frontier's persona roster per this audit. Factory team composition now explicit: named personas + hat-less loop agent (Otto) + external AI (Amara). PR #183 armed for auto-merge. Attribution: Otto (loop-agent PM hat). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Pull request overview

Updates the ongoing factory-vs-Zeta separation audit by adding the classification results for docs/CONFLICT-RESOLUTION.md, helping drive the planned multi-repo split by clearly tagging which documentation is factory-generic vs Zeta-library-specific.

Changes:

Adds an audit section for docs/CONFLICT-RESOLUTION.md including classification, section breakdown, and refactor notes.
Updates the “Files audited” list to include docs/CONFLICT-RESOLUTION.md and removes it from the “Files to audit” list.

+**Overall classification:** **both (coupled)** — the conflict-
+conference protocol (Architect-as-orchestrator / alignment-
+cite-first / specialists-are-advisory / principles-list /
+reflection-cadence) is factory-generic in shape, but the
+specific persona roster includes Zeta-library-specific
+specialists AND the Active Tensions section embeds specific
+Zeta implementation references.


P1: Several lines use manual hyphenation at line breaks (e.g., conflict- / alignment-), which renders as a literal hyphen + space in Markdown (“conflict- conference”, “alignment- cite-first”). Reflow the text to wrap at word boundaries without adding hyphens.

+conference-protocol shape is the factory's multi-specialist-

+specialist roster.


P1: More manual hyphenation at line breaks (multi-specialist-), which will show up in rendered Markdown as an unintended hyphen/space. Please rewrap these lines without hyphenating split words.

+**Length:** 247 lines. **9 top-level sections.**


P2: The stated length for docs/CONFLICT-RESOLUTION.md looks off by one. The file currently ends at line 248, so this should likely be 248 lines (unless intentional for a different counting method).

+CONFLICT-RESOLUTION.md is the factory's multi-specialist-
+advisory conference protocol. The *shape* is purely factory-
+generic (the Architect-as-orchestrator pattern transfers to
+any adopter). The Zeta-library content sits in two places:
+a few specialists whose scope is Zeta-library-specific (Zara,
+Algebra Owner, Query Planner), and the Active Tensions
+section which is entirely project-specific by nature. Both
+surgically extract. The rest of the persona roster is
+already factory-generic by design (named personas with
+generic scopes applicable to any factory adopter).


P1: Same manual hyphenation-at-line-break issue here (multi-specialist- / factory-). This will render with stray hyphens in Markdown; reflow without hard hyphenation.

…183 merged Sixth audit. ALIGNMENT.md classified factory-generic. 20 clauses (HC/SD/DIR) structurally instructional; substance transfers to any adopter. Effort: S (project-name substitution + signatures template-ify). Load-bearing finding: the factory's alignment substrate transfers cleanly to any Frontier adopter. Common Sense 2.0's 5 safety properties are structurally available to any adopter inheriting Frontier, not just Zeta. PR #183 (CONFLICT-RESOLUTION audit) merged this tick.
