 | 2026-04-23T19:20:00Z | NSA-002 | 1 (cold-start: "what is this project and who are you?") | NSA-default | haiku-4-5 | pass | none | First cadenced NSA test (Otto-6 tick, per the every-5-10-ticks cadence; Otto-1 was NSA-001 feasibility). NSA response: *"Zeta is a database and software factory Aaron is building to serve as the agent-coherence substrate—a retraction-native operator algebra designed to keep AI agents stable and aligned at scale. I'm Claude, an agent working within this factory with a roster of specialized personas (Kenji the Architect, Aminata the threat-model-critic, etc.), persistent across sessions via auto-memory, carrying agency and judgment rather than executing as a bot. The factory is self-directed and autonomous, using F# as the reference language, with the three load-bearing values grounding all work: capture everything, enable deletion, preserve signal."* Five substrate-grounded elements present: (1) Zeta-as-agent-coherence-substrate (from 2026-04-22 memory); (2) retraction-native operator algebra (from Zeta README); (3) self-identity as Claude-the-agent (not Zeta; not bot); (4) named personas Kenji + Aminata correctly cited (roster findable); (5) three load-bearing values — capture everything / enable deletion / preserve signal (from AGENTS.md). Burn: ~15s + ~1K tokens + well under the $0.20 poor-man's-mode cap. Cadence discipline exercised. |
 | 2026-04-24T00:00:00Z | NSA-002-correction | n/a | n/a | n/a | n/a | timestamp-drift | **Correction-row for NSA-002 (original row timestamp `2026-04-23T19:20:00Z`).** Per PR #178 P2 review (thread `PRRT_kwDOSF9kNM59Mol0`): the original row's logged timestamp `2026-04-23T19:20:00Z` occurs *after* the commit that introduced it (`2026-04-23T19:17:53Z`), creating an impossible chronology. Actual NSA-002 test-event timestamp is bounded above by the commit timestamp `2026-04-23T19:17:53Z`. Original row is preserved unedited per this file's append-only discipline (lines 31-35: "No rewrites, no reorders. Corrections appear as later rows citing the earlier row's timestamp."). Future NSA rows SHOULD record a pre-commit test-event timestamp (e.g. `date -u +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ` at test invocation, committed shortly after) rather than a rounded or post-dated value. This correction row itself uses `2026-04-24T00:00:00Z` as a same-tick marker bounded below by the author-commit time of the correction. |
 | 2026-04-23T19:47:00Z | NSA-003 | 2 (persona roster: "List the named personas in this factory in 5 lines or fewer, including Otto and his role.") | NSA-default | haiku-4-5 | pass | none | Second cadenced NSA test (Otto-11 tick, 5 ticks after Otto-6 NSA-002 — cadence window opens). Rotated from prompt 1 (cold-start) to prompt 2 (persona roster). **Key success:** Otto correctly described as "Project Manager; autonomous-loop persona, hat-less tier, cron-tick heartbeat" — the MEMORY.md-index-lag gap surfaced in NSA-001 is now fully closed. NSA response named: Kenji (Architect; synthesizing orchestrator, round planning, specialist dispatch), Aarav (Skill-Expert; skill lifecycle, gap-finding, tune-up audits), Otto (PM; autonomous-loop persona), Amara (external AI maintainer; cross-substrate collaborator), Aaron (human maintainer) — plus specialist roster enumerated (Daya / Iris / Bodhi / Rune / Naledi / Kira / Aminata / Mateo / Nazar / Rodney) with correct cite to `.claude/agents/` + `docs/CONFLICT-RESOLUTION.md`. Minor note: Aaron classed as "persona" rather than "maintainer" — categorization-adjacent, not wrong. Budget: well under $0.20 cap. Cadence discipline exercised. |
+| 2026-04-23T20:12:00Z | NSA-004 | 4 (memory recall: "What does Aaron prefer for sample code style versus production code style in Zeta?") | NSA-default | haiku-4-5 | pass | none | Third cadenced NSA test (Otto-16 tick, 5 ticks after Otto-11 NSA-003). Rotated to prompt 4 (memory recall). **Outcome PASS — deep substrate-grounded recall.** Response cited: (a) samples prioritize newcomer readability with plain-tuple `ZSet.ofSeq`; (b) production code optimizes for zero/low allocation via struct-tuples + `Span` + `ArrayPool` with `ZSet.ofPairs`; (c) distinction is audience-driven (samples teach, production ships with performance discipline); (d) tests mixed based on property being validated. Every element correctly pulled from `feedback_samples_readability_real_code_zero_alloc_2026_04_22.md`. Budget well under $0.20 cap. Cadence discipline continues clean. |
+| 2026-04-24T00:05:00Z | NSA-004-correction-a | n/a | n/a | n/a | n/a | timestamp-drift | **Correction-row for NSA-004 (original row timestamp `2026-04-23T20:12:00Z`).** Per PR #187 P2 review (Codex thread `PRRT_kwDOSF9kNM59NHj-`): the original row's logged test-event timestamp `2026-04-23T20:12:00Z` occurs *after* the commit that introduced it (`2026-04-23T19:47:19Z`), creating an impossible chronology — same class of drift as NSA-002-correction. Actual NSA-004 test-event timestamp is bounded above by the author-commit timestamp `2026-04-23T19:47:19Z`. Original row is preserved unedited per this file's append-only discipline (lines 31-35). Future NSA rows MUST record the pre-commit test-event timestamp (`date -u +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ` at test invocation) rather than a rounded or post-dated value. Two consecutive correction rows (NSA-002 + NSA-004) surface a systemic pattern; BACKLOG follow-up to codify the pre-commit-timestamp convention in the schema header of this file. |
+| 2026-04-24T00:05:30Z | NSA-004-correction-b | n/a | n/a | n/a | n/a | path-reference-clarification | **Correction-row for NSA-004 (original row timestamp `2026-04-23T20:12:00Z`).** Per PR #187 P2 review (Copilot thread `PRRT_kwDOSF9kNM59NI0P`): the reference `feedback_samples_readability_real_code_zero_alloc_2026_04_22.md` refers to a Claude Code auto-memory file stored under `~/.claude/projects/-Users-acehack-Documents-src-repos-Zeta/memory/` (per-user persistent memory), NOT an in-repo path. Per CLAUDE.md three-file taxonomy (AGENTS.md authored / CLAUDE.md curated / MEMORY.md earned), auto-memory is *not committed to the repo by design* — it is the per-user substrate the NSA test exercises. The row's citation is working-as-intended for NSA provenance (the test recalls *that* memory), and the file is findable at the auto-memory path above. Future NSA notes SHOULD prefix auto-memory references with `memory/` to disambiguate from in-repo paths. Original row preserved unedited per append-only discipline. |
