…atched) Two-file batch this tick. Seventh and eighth audits in gap #5. AUTONOMOUS-LOOP.md: factory-generic (cleanest so far). 9 sections, pure Claude Code harness discipline, zero Zeta-library content. Refactor effort: ~0 (verbatim to Frontier). WONT-DO.md: both (coupled). Shape (entry template, ADR status vocabulary, "How to add" section) is factory- generic; 5 of 6 entry-sections are Zeta-library-specific ("Algorithms / operators", "Engineering patterns", "Out-of-scope for a DBSP library", etc.). Refactor strategy: Frontier inherits shape + empty section stubs; Zeta retains full current entries as library decision record. Effort: M. Progress: 8 of ~16 files audited (Otto-7/9/10/12/13/14/15). At halfway mark; projected completion ~Otto-23. Pattern tally now 8 audits: - factory-generic: GOVERNANCE / AGENT-BEST-PRACTICES / ALIGNMENT / AUTONOMOUS-LOOP (4) - both (coupled): CLAUDE / AGENTS / CONFLICT-RESOLUTION / WONT-DO (4) Attribution: Otto (loop-agent PM hat).

…-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).

| | "Engineering patterns" | zeta-library-specific (mostly) | Likely Zeta-specific engineering decisions (exception handling / async patterns / wire format / etc.). Needs entry-by-entry review to confirm all; may contain a few factory-shape entries. | | ||
| | "Repo / process" | **both** | Repo / process decisions range from factory-generic (CI policy / merge-gate patterns) to Zeta-specific (openspec structure decisions). Entry-by-entry mixed. | | ||
| | "Out-of-scope for a DBSP library" | zeta-library-specific | Explicitly scoped to DBSP library domain by section name. Full Zeta. | | ||
| | "Personas and emulation" | factory-generic | Persona-framework decisions (emulation scope, conflict-handling) transfer to any adopter running named personas. | |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Marking Personas and emulation as factory-generic is inconsistent with the source it summarizes: docs/WONT-DO.md contains a maintainer-specific active-instance entry (including a named individual and project-local memory path), so treating this section as transferable will cause split planning to move project-specific policy into Frontier instead of keeping it in Zeta or templating it. This can misdirect the gap #1 extraction workflow and propagate non-generic content to adopters.

Pull request overview
Updates the ongoing “factory vs Zeta” separation audit to include classifications for two additional documentation files as part of Frontier-readiness gap #5.
Changes:
- Updates the “Files audited” / “Files to audit” lists to reflect newly audited documents.
- Adds audit writeups for
docs/AUTONOMOUS-LOOP.md(factory-generic) anddocs/WONT-DO.md(both/coupled) including section-by-section breakdown and refactor notes.

The recorded line count for docs/AUTONOMOUS-LOOP.md looks stale. In the current tree it is 484 lines (not 483), so this audit entry will drift as the target file changes. Consider either updating the number or removing hard-coded line counts to avoid ongoing maintenance churn.

The docs/WONT-DO.md metadata here appears inconsistent with the current file. The repo copy is 627 lines (not 626), and it contains 7 ## sections (including “What the statuses mean” and “How to add an entry”). Please reconcile the stated counts with the actual document structure, or avoid hard-coding these numbers.

Summary
AUTONOMOUS-LOOP.md
9 sections, all Claude Code harness discipline. Cron mechanism / tick sentinel / every-tick checklist / escalation / session-restart / etc. No Zeta-library content. Refactor effort: ~0 — Frontier inherits verbatim.
WONT-DO.md
6 sections: preamble + 5 entry-categories.
Strategy: Frontier inherits shape + empty stubs; Zeta retains entries. Repo/process section mixed — entry-by-entry review at split time. Effort: M.
Progress tally (8 audits)
8 of ~16 → halfway mark. Projected completion ~Otto-23.
