What

Nightly sweeps must discover related simple corrections within the section and shared consumers before editing, state the candidate list and shared validation plan, then validate and commit the batch. Splitting known compatible candidates requires a concrete reason in the report; singleton batches state the searched scope. Deferred candidates carry forward across rounds.

The initial goal and continuation prompts reinforce this workflow. Display-ordering guidance requires inspecting each consumer before batching straightforward moves; risk-sensitive changes retain individual scrutiny.

Why

The sweep in #2228 repeatedly ran validation for closely related corrections despite existing general batching instructions. Discovery and explicit batch boundaries make that instruction actionable.

Existing surface checked

Updated the existing daily prompt, ladder, goal/continuation messages, README, and nightly memory atom/index. No new runtime components or public surface.

Validation

• All 44 existing runner tests passed.
• Python compilation and git diff --check passed.
• No .NET code changed; scoped runner verification applies.
• Actual batching compliance must be assessed from the next sweep's candidate plans and split reasons; these are agent instructions, not deterministic enforcement.

Checklist

• Review tier: tier:standard; section: infra.
• Feature branch from origin/main, targeting peterdrier/Humans:main.
• Reuse-first checked; durable rule and INDEX updated together.
• Runner docs and tests apply. No app localization, authorization, GDPR, schema, navigation, or section invariant changes.

Deployment

The scheduled service uses an immutable runner release. This change must be included in its next provisioned release to affect scheduled runs; merging alone does not replace the pinned runner.
