+# Immune system upgrades — research absorb
+
+Aaron sent input on 2026-04-30 via the autonomous-loop maintainer
+channel asking the factory to backlog "immune system upgrades" with
+5 supporting source links (1 Wikipedia article + 4 distinct YouTube
+videos). The framing composes directly with the Aurora-immune-
+governance bridge work (`docs/research/aurora-immune-governance-
+bridge-minimal-2026-04-28.md`, landed via PR #707) and with the
+broader Glass Halo / superorganism factory framing.
+
+This is a research-absorb row, not an immediate implementation
+task. The substantive work is:
+
+1. Watch + read the source material (one pass, then a careful
+   pass for note-taking).
+2. Cross-reference each immune-system concept against the existing
+   Aurora-immune translations already on main and against the
+   superorganism framing in the multi-AI-factory substrate.
+3. Identify one or more concrete factory-immune upgrades — e.g.,
+   antigen-recognition for prompt-injection patterns, granuloma-
+   shape isolation for compromised actors, complement-cascade
+   shape for chained defense rules, hive-immune coordination for
+   multi-AI review patterns.
+4. File one or more follow-up rows for any concrete upgrade that
+   passes the "load-bearing + falsifiable + composes with existing
+   substrate" three-test (per Aurora's bridge-note discipline).

+The first YouTube URL repeats; the deduplicated set is 4 YouTube
+videos plus the Superorganism Wikipedia article. The repeat is
+preserved verbatim in case the duplication itself is signal (e.g.
+Aaron emphasising that source twice).
+
+## Why this matters
+
+- The Aurora-immune-governance bridge note (PR #707) already
+  established that immune-system metaphors map cleanly to
+  governance / substrate-protection patterns in the factory. The
+  bridge note enumerated 3 immune translations + a falsifier +
+  prototype + boundaries, but explicitly framed itself as
+  "minimal" — it did not claim to enumerate every translation.
+- New material from Aaron's channel suggests further translations
+  worth investigating, especially the **superorganism** layer
+  (multi-AI / multi-actor coordination as a single organism rather
+  than a federation of agents — composes with the agent-orchestra
+  v3/v4 framing in `feedback_zeta_agent_orchestra_capability_role_
+  claim_isolation_aaron_amara_2026_04_29.md`).
+- Soak-period work (post-Bucket-B-closure) is itself an immune
+  response — production runs validate ports, infections (real
+  bugs) surface or don't. Soak + bash-retirement is a pattern
+  that already has an immune-system vocabulary; explicit research
+  may sharpen the terms.
+
+## Scope (research-absorb shape)
+
+This row produces:
+
+- A `docs/research/2026-04-XX-immune-system-upgrades-absorb.md`
+  research note (per Otto-363 substrate-or-it-didn't-happen +
+  the channel-verbatim-preservation discipline).
+- Notes covering each source: claim, frame, candidate Zeta
+  translation, falsifier, status (candidate / promoted / dismissed).
+- A list of follow-up rows for any candidates that promote to
+  load-bearing factory rules.
+
+Out of scope for this row:
+
+- Implementing the immune upgrades. (Implementation rows are the
+  follow-ups, not this one.)
+- Promoting any of the candidate translations to canonical
+  doctrine without the normal Architect / multi-AI review path.
+- Re-doing the work the bridge note (PR #707) already did. Cite
+  the bridge note where its translations cover the same ground.
+
+## When this is "done"
+
+Done = research note lands on main + all viable candidates have
+either filed follow-up rows OR been explicitly dismissed in the
+note (with a one-line reason). Rejected candidates stay in the
+note as substrate (negative-result lineage).
+
+## Composes with
+
+- `docs/research/aurora-immune-governance-bridge-minimal-2026-04-28.md`
+  (PR #707) — existing immune translations to extend.
+- `feedback_zeta_agent_orchestra_capability_role_claim_isolation_
+  aaron_amara_2026_04_29.md` — superorganism / multi-AI
+  coordination layer to cross-reference.
+- B-0086 (TS+Bun migration) — soak-period work surfaces the
+  "production-as-immune-test" frame already.
+- Glass Halo origin substrate — the superorganism framing extends
+  the canary-phrase + collective-coherence lineage.
