Pull request overview
Updates docs/BACKLOG.md to refine the Otto-86 backlog entry by defining a 4-stage peer-harness progression (adding a multi-Claude-Code intermediate stage), making “test-mode bounding” (timeout/process-kill) a hard requirement during testing, and capturing Windows support as the concrete stage-(d) workload, gated by Otto’s explicit readiness signal.
Changes:
- Adds an Otto-86 refinement section with verbatim source messages plus a 4-stage progression (a–d).
- Documents test-mode bounding as a hard requirement for stages (b) and (c) tests.
- Introduces Windows support as the motivating real-workload use case for stage (d) and ties it to FACTORY-HYGIENE audit surfaces.

…age peer-harness progression refinement Split-attention tick after 6 straight bounded-deliverable ticks. Primary PR #254 Muratori corrected-table research doc; mid-tick 2-message Aaron directive drove PR #255 Codex-parallel refinement (4-stage progression + test-mode bounding + Windows-support use case + Otto-signals-readiness gate). Key observations: 1. Split-attention pattern back in use; proportionate; not default. 2. Readiness-signal gate is new 4th Aaron-signoff category (inverse direction: Otto signals, Aaron acts). 3. Test-mode bounding generalises beyond peer-harness; BP-NN promotion candidate when exercised on second experiment class. 4. "Telephone line" imagery = retractability-by-design at transfer-learning layer; Claude→Claude→Codex→Windows survives-with-fidelity is the portability claim to validate. Stacked on #253 (Otto-85 history).

…t-mode bounding, Windows-support use case
Aaron Otto-86 two-message refinement of the Otto-78
Codex-parallel row:
Message 1 (progression + use case): extends Otto-79's 3-stage
progression (a single-today / b bounded-experiment /
c peer-harness) into a 4-stage arc with a new intermediate:
- (a) single coordinator today
- (b) NEW multi-Claude-Code peer-harness experiment before Codex
- (c) multi-harness with Codex (gated on (b) + Codex ready)
- (d) full peer-harness with Windows-support real workload
(possibly Codex, end-to-end "telephone line" test)
Otto is the readiness-signaller; Aaron waits. Stage (c) launch
is a specifically-asked-for design review per Otto-82
authority-calibration — Otto's readiness signal is the gate.
Message 2 (test-mode bounding, hard requirement): "make sure
when in peer-harness mode you give the other one time limits
or process kill them either way, just while we are testing we
don't want the other peer harness to run forever during tests
only when in real use." Time-limits / process-kill on the
non-primary during testing; removed once the peer-harness
moves from test-mode to real use.
Concrete bounding options named (Otto designs the specific
mechanism in a test-plan doc):
- wall-clock timeout per experiment
- explicit process-kill target at end
- test-mode flag capping async-dispatch budget
- wall-time instrumentation
Scope limits:
- No second Claude session without experiment design + dry-run
- No skipping multi-Claude stage (b) to jump to Codex (c)
- No unbounded test runs — time-limits load-bearing
- No premature readiness-signals
- Otto-78 primary-switch clause unchanged; this refines stages
around it, not the primary-determination model
Lands within-standing-authority per Otto-82 calibration
(BACKLOG-row refinement on a row that was already refinement-
friendly; no signoff gate triggered).

…CTORY-HYGIENE format) Three P1/nit review threads on the Otto-86 4-stage peer-harness progression refinement, fixed in-row (same-row body edits, no cross-row reshuffling): 1. PRRT_kwDOSF9kNM59R5L8 (line 2638): dropped the incorrect "Otto-79's 3-stage arc" parenthetical. Otto-79 in BACKLOG is the agent-email-password-storage row, not a 3-stage arc; the 4-stage progression stands on its own description. 2. PRRT_kwDOSF9kNM59R5Ly (line 2645): rephrased the readiness- signal paragraph to name the Otto-82 design-review discipline directly instead of pointing at an in-repo memory path (memory/ paths are generally out-of-repo per drain convention applied to earlier review threads of this shape). 3. PRRT_kwDOSF9kNM59R5MD (line 2656): normalised "FACTORY-HYGIENE #51 + #55" → "FACTORY-HYGIENE row #51 and row #55" to match the common "row #NN" format used elsewhere in the file. No new semantics; pure review-thread drain edits inside the same BACKLOG row body (append-only-within-section discipline preserved — no row added, no row reordered).

Summary
4-stage progression
Test-mode bounding (hard requirement)
Aaron: "make sure when in peer-harness mode you give the other one time limits or process kill them either way, just while we are testing we don't want the other peer harness to run forever during tests only when in real use."
Otto is the readiness-signaller
Aaron: "i wont do it until you tell me we are ready" — stage (c) launch is gated on Otto's explicit readiness signal, per Otto-82 authority-calibration.
Scope limits
Authority
Within standing authority per Otto-82 calibration — BACKLOG-row refinement on an already-refinement-friendly row.
