frontier-readiness: gap #5 audit — ALIGNMENT.md (factory-generic)#185
Conversation
Sixth file audited. ALIGNMENT.md classified factory- generic. Confirms the rule-substrate-instructional hypothesis. 20 clauses (HC-1..HC-7, SD-1..SD-8, DIR-1..DIR-5) all structurally instructional. Substance transfers to any adopter; only project name + signatures + verbatim-quote attributions are adopter-specific. Refactor notes: 1. Substitute "Zeta" → <Project> in preamble + research- claim section + DIR-1 heading 2. Template-ify Signatures section (adopter fills in) 3. Keep Aaron verbatim quotes in Zeta repo's alignment contract as attribution anchors; Frontier template references "adopter's direct verbatim statements" as the pattern Effort: S (simple project-name substitution + signatures template-ify). Six audits now complete. Pattern stable: instructional → factory-generic; state-logging / illustrative → embedded Zeta-specifics. Attribution: Otto (loop-agent PM hat).

…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. PR #185 (ALIGNMENT audit) armed for auto-merge. Progress: 6 audits in 8 ticks; ~10 remaining; projected completion ~Otto-24. Attribution: Otto (loop-agent PM hat).

There was a problem hiding this comment.
This section labels docs/ALIGNMENT.md as overall factory-generic, but the same audit immediately identifies non-generic content (both rows, an adopter-specific Signatures row, and required pre-split substitutions/template steps). Because this document later defines split execution as “factory-generic files move” while both files are refactored first, this mismatch can send ALIGNMENT.md through the wrong split path and preserve Zeta-specific names/signatures in Frontier; the overall class should be consistent with the required refactor path.

Pull request overview
Updates the Frontier readiness “factory vs Zeta separation” audit log to record the classification of docs/ALIGNMENT.md as factory-generic and to keep the audit progress list in sync with completed audits.
Changes:
- Fixes/normalizes the “Files audited” list formatting and updates it to include
docs/ALIGNMENT.md. - Removes
docs/ALIGNMENT.md/docs/AGENT-BEST-PRACTICES.mdfrom the “Files to audit” list and adds a consolidated note pointing to the PRs where related audits landed. - Adds a full “Audit — docs/ALIGNMENT.md” section including classification, breakdown, and refactor notes.

P1: This introduces a direct contributor name (“Aaron”) in a non-exempt doc. Per docs/AGENT-BEST-PRACTICES.md Operational standing rules, direct contributor names should only appear in memory/persona/<name>/ and optionally docs/BACKLOG.md (plus any explicitly carved-out logs). Suggest rewriting this item to use a role reference (e.g., “human maintainer’s verbatim quotes”) and keep the rest of the guidance intact.

…-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. Attribution: Otto (loop-agent PM hat).
