AgentOps now describes the selected Context Delivery Lifecycle alongside
standalone RPI: external reviewed memory, native work and runtime
ownership, independent validation, and explicit limits on what the
pilots proved. The active ADRs name which historical prescriptions are
superseded and which invariants remain.
This integrates the BD foundation, including doctor diagnostics that
distinguish BD from BR and protection against private tracker data
entering outgoing Git history. It also fixes skills audit resolution of
explicit relative reference paths. Source-owned projections were
regenerated, and the landed stopping behavior is preserved.
Validation: Go build/vet/test and race/shuffle, 1,325 Bats cases, the
local aggregate, and full AO gates. The gate registry reports 71 passes
and one nonblocking preamble-adoption failure on the existing report
script; that advisory remains disclosed. Historical probe receipts whose
source hashes changed remain historical evidence.
This is foundation adoption. It does not claim that the later memory,
goal, background, privacy-release, or benefit-measurement work is
implemented.
Independent Astra and Fable judgments both PASS over the exact
integrated content. Earlier negative results and their factual
resolution remain preserved in private work evidence.
Completes the staleness epic. 42 P2/P3 files converged to current truth
(bd→br, gascity/gt-sling/mayor→NTM+Agent Mail, daemon→substrate, hooks→hookless,
CI-authoritative→push-to-main local Go gate); GLOSSARY's 18 dead skills/* links
repaired to ../skills/<name>/SKILL.md (19 links, 0 broken); contracts/runbooks
that freeze retired-system nouns bannered RETIRED/HISTORICAL rather than rewritten.
Adds the Arc-7 ratchet — scripts/check-docs-no-retired-tech.sh — which scans all
live docs (260) for retired-subsystem commands/phrases and fails on regression.
A doc opts out by carrying a RETIRED/HISTORICAL/SUPERSEDED banner (or being an
ADR / migration / upgrade / index doc), and lines that describe a removal are not
flagged. Running it caught 12 stale refs the deep-read sweep missed — a
"CI is the authoritative gate" cluster (agentops-brief, primitive-chains,
INCIDENT-RUNBOOK, knowledge-flywheel, philosophy, software-factory), stale
hook-smoke in release-e2e-checklist, and GasCity descriptors in
contracts/index + SCHEMAS + strategic-direction — now fixed. Gate: PASS.

Rescope PRACTICE.md into PRACTICE-REGISTRY.md: it now owns only the
practice-slug lineage registry, not product positioning or CDLC doctrine.
Update all references (schema, validate-practice-citations.sh, bats test,
architecture-terms.md, documentation-index.md, aggregate.go comment).
Introduce the Context Density Rule as a canonical domain concept: every
high-value context token carries intent, boundary, evidence, decision,
constraint, or next action. New domain entry context-density-rule.md (+
codex mirror). Thread the BDD/Gherkin + DDD + Hexagonal + TDD narrow waist
through cdlc.md, README.md, PRODUCT.md, GOALS.md, and the rpi/domain/
post-mortem skills. Sync codex artifacts.
