Summary

Three paths to compare in Phase 1 doc

  • Path A — git-native / soulfile-style (Aaron's preference; co-gates on Soulfile Runner crypto).
  • Path B — host-native (GitHub Actions secrets; deployable today; host-lock-in).
  • Path C — hybrid (B now, migrate to A when soulfile-crypto lands).

5-phase gates (matches PR #230 / PR #233 shape)

  1. Design doc (authorised).
  2. Aminata threat-model pass (BLOCKING).
  3. Aaron security review (BLOCKING).
  4. Implementation.
  5. Migration from temp-plain-text.

Hard requirements

Multi-contributor access · fork-safe · clone-safe · contributor-scoped · Aaron security-review gate.

Composes with

Test plan

  • Aaron's directive quoted verbatim
  • Three paths comparatively framed
  • Aaron security-review-gate explicit
  • Scope limits prevent implementation shortcuts
  • Short-term plain-text posture bounded

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

…fork-safe, git-native-preferred (Aaron Otto-79)

Aaron Otto-79: "you can just save passwords for you agent
emails out of repo for now in plain text cause that's easy
but we need research on how to securly save this in a way
where multiple contributors can access the passwords for the
agents emails ... soul file even IDK or host level ...
contributors need to not be able to send emails as the agents
... scope to the contributors ... i would love a git native
way ... This is another one i would like to review the
designs as well."

Three-path comparison required in Phase 1 design doc:

- Path A: git-native / soulfile-style (Aaron's preference;
  co-gates on Soulfile Runner crypto).
- Path B: host-native (GitHub Actions secrets; operationally
  deployable today; host-lock-in).
- Path C: hybrid (B now, migrate to A when soulfile-crypto
  lands).

Five phase gates matching PR #230 / PR #233 pattern:
(1) design doc → (2) Aminata BLOCKING → (3) Aaron BLOCKING →
(4) implementation → (5) migration-from-temp.

Short-term: out-of-repo plain-text acceptable for today's
Phase 1 design work only.

Scope limits:
- No implementation pre-Aaron-review.
- No weakening of PR #233 Otto-acquires-email constraints.
- No fork-unblock mechanism.
- Plain-text store scope-limited to agent-email passwords only.

Composes with PR #233 (answers password-handling sub-question
of email acquisition), PR #230 (same two-phase shape), Soulfile
Runner (Path A dep), autonomy-envelope memory (authorising
parent).

Priority P3. Timing Otto's call. Aaron security-review-gate
required before implementation.

Pull request overview

Adds a new P3 BACKLOG row capturing the (design-only) workstream for secure, multi-contributor agent-email password storage, with explicit phase gates and a comparison of git-native vs host-native approaches.

Changes:

  • Adds a new P3 BACKLOG item defining requirements and phase gates for agent-email password storage.
  • Enumerates three candidate design paths (git-native, host-native, hybrid) to compare in a Phase 1 design doc.
  • Records scope limits and dependencies on related PRs/memories.

Comment thread docs/BACKLOG.md

- **PR #233 Otto acquires email** — this row answers Phase 1 question 3 (recovery cascade) + 4 (provider choice) in the password-handling dimension. PR #233 Phase 3 depends on this row's mechanism being ready.
- **PR #230 multi-account P3** — identical two-phase shape + poor-man-tier composability.
- **Soulfile Runner** (`memory/feedback_soulfile_dsl_is_restrictive_english_runner_is_own_project_uses_zeta_small_bins_2026_04_23.md`) — Path A depends on soulfile-crypto primitives from Runner.

* Round 44 auto-loop-30: tick-history row — stacking-risk framework published + bottleneck-principle posture change + CLI-DX-cascade captured

Append loop-tick-history row for the 2026-04-22T12:05Z auto-loop-30
tick. Three architectural signals absorbed same tick:

1. stacking-risk decision framework published as first-pass
   research doc (docs/research/stacking-risk-decision-framework.md,
   PR Lucent-Financial-Group#129) — occurrence-1 of the specific framing preserved on
   record before the next expansive-trust-grant tests it.

2. bottleneck-principle default-posture change filed to memory
   and indexed — grey-zone judgment is agent's call by default;
   ask-before-acting on gray-alone serialises the factory.
   Five explicit escalation triggers stay distinct.

3. CLI-DX-cascade directive captured to memory — zero author-
   friction for new CLI commands; compensation actions generate
   derivatives. Same author-at-source-of-truth pattern as
   UI-DSL class-level and event-storming.

Bottleneck-principle exercised live on this tick: stacking-risk
doc landed by agent-judgment without ask-first, with paper
trail via PR Lucent-Financial-Group#129 + memory + this row.

Compoundings this tick: 5. Cumulative net -8 over 22 ticks.

* Round 44 auto-loop-32: emulator substrate research first-pass

Public-source architectural survey of RetroArch/libretro, MAME,
and Dolphin focused on patterns that map to Zeta's factory
substrate: capability-negotiation (libretro retro_environment),
save-state serialization as first-class ABI primitive, class-vs-
instance fidelity axis (HLE/LLE, driver-per-machine), and JIT
recompilation as shipped-kernel-library instance.

Composes with BACKLOG Lucent-Financial-Group#213 Chronovisor, Lucent-Financial-Group#241 soulsnap/SVF, Lucent-Financial-Group#239
capability-limited bootstrap, and Aaron's 20-year preservationist
archive context. Public-source only — no stacking-risk framework
invoked; pre-validation anchor for future archive-gated emulator
research.

BACKLOG row Lucent-Financial-Group#249 moved pending -> in_progress.
