README v3 restructure (DPLAN-0249). Single-funnel story: every command taught exactly once — What-AIPass-Does stripped to pitch, all commands in Quick Start, How-It-Works is now the mental-model section. New hero link line (aipass.ai / PyPI / r/AIPass / Discussions) closes the one-way funnel gap. Three gif slots reserved as comments. Positioning ruling: Claude Code on Linux/WSL only — Codex/macOS/Windows story and Roadmap removed from the README (code support unchanged; Docker distribution is the future answer for those users). CHANGELOG entry included.
README: remove stale demo.gif embed. The recording predates the v2.7.3 onboarding chain (welcome mode, aipass new handoff) and no longer matches the product. Re-record with the welcome-back payoff is parked as a follow-up.
aipass new + front-door overhaul + fleet-100: projects/ playground machinery (isolated projects with full framework agents, registry-first credential linkage, birth commits), ai_mail cross-project boundary, seedgo cli_ux + readme_quality standards born from a live door-test, and the fleet-100 sweep bringing all 17 branches to 100% on the expanded gate (FPLAN-0333 / DPLAN-0247)
CI seedgo gate is strict 100%. trust_registry.py now uses json_handler for
registry I/O (log_operation on writes only — no per-hook-event flood);
unused_function bypassed (cross-branch public API, static analysis can't see
callers). trust.py gained print_introspection + --help/no-args gates;
genuinely-N/A standards (json_structure delegated to trust_registry,
frozen cross-branch import) bypassed with justification. Both branches 100%,
all tests green, live acceptance re-verified (attack still blocked both gates).

Closes a zero-interaction RCE where a hostile repo's .aipass/hooks.json
(discovered via loader CWD walk-up, bridge wired globally) could run an
arbitrary command-type hook on SessionStart. Defense-in-depth:
Layer A (engine): refuse command-type hooks from per-project configs via
unconditional _source clobber; gate handler paths to aipass.* namespace.
Layer B (loader+CLI): trusted-project registry (path+sha256), fail-closed
trust-check, $AIPASS_HOME-only bootstrap (no TOFU), aipass init auto-enroll
+ new aipass trust/revoke commands.
Live acceptance test (real bridge, real payload) proves both gates block
independently. 1105 hooks + 133 aipass tests green.

prax log watchdog covers branch logs/ dirs — .jsonl runaway growth caught (built by @prax). Root cause: rotation was .log-hardcoded and .jsonl writers are raw open('a') appenders bypassing prax; the watchdog safety net only scanned system_logs. Now scans all src/aipass/*/logs/ for .log+.jsonl (WARN 1MB / CRITICAL 10MB unrotated), enforce truncates to last 5000 lines, log-audit shows system + branch scopes. 11 new tests, 947 suite green. Offender writers (hooks 63MB engine.jsonl, backup 31MB operations.jsonl, trigger 7MB medic log) routed to owners separately.
Item 6 — aipass install pip step looked hung. setup.sh ran the heavy editable install of the [dev,memory] extras with pip --quiet, so it went SILENT for minutes during memory wheel builds (looks frozen to a first-time user). Dropped --quiet on that step so pip streams progress, and set the expectation in the echo ('can take a few minutes while the memory wheels build'). Left the fast pip-upgrade step quiet.
Item 7 — README quick-start command errored. README.md:147 showed 'drone @seedgo audit my_project', but audit takes a registered PACK name, so it fails with Unknown pack. Corrected to 'audit aipass' (matches the working example at :119).
Remaining #665 items (version hardcode, --help command names, subcommand --help contract, placeholder descriptions, bare-mode hints, crash-vs-unknown) span aipass/drone/daemon/memory/spawn and stay open for a coordinated per-owner pass. setup.sh syntax-checked (bash -n).
Rides PR#659 (issue-clearing, no main-merge).
#668 — poll loop re-drained a rate-limited backlog in a flood loop. The offset advanced AFTER process_update, so a rate-limited/rejected/erroring update never advanced it and the same backlog was re-fetched. Fix: advance the offset BEFORE process_update, so a consumed update never pins it (base_bot.py run loop).
#669 — three fixes: (1) systemd unit gets KillMode=process so a Restart is not killed by the old instance's cgroup teardown (the suicide-loop); (2) create_bot_via_botfather now RAISES RuntimeError with an actionable message (names the set-secret command) instead of silently returning None when telethon config is missing/unready — fail-honestly (botfather_client.py); (3) stale config-mechanism docstrings corrected (bot_factory/bot_operations).
Bonus (unbriefed but correct + beneficial): @skills also Windows-hardened _is_pid_alive (OpenProcess+GetExitCodeProcess on win32, os.kill moved into the POSIX branch) + refactored _check_lock to use it, and switched TEMP_DIR to tempfile.gettempdir(). Side effect: base_bot.py os.kill is now platform-guarded.
Built by @skills, verified by devpulse: 653 telegram tests green (incl lock/pid tests exercising the refactor); #668 offset-before-process verified by inspection; #669.2 raise covered by test_botfather_client. Note: @skills dispatch bounced on a usage-limit retry AFTER completing the work — verified the on-disk result independently.
Rides PR#659 (issue-clearing, no main-merge). Source: devpulse todos #41/#52.
Two hardening items surfaced during #664 that @memory could not touch (cross-branch edit gate blocked it).
ITEM 1 — _find_repo_root fail-loud (lifecycle/rollover.py). The PreCompact rollover hook's _find_repo_root() returned None SILENTLY when AIPASS_HOME/cwd was wrong -> rollover no-ops invisibly (the exact silent-skip that hid #664 for months). Now logs a logger.error with the AIPASS_HOME value + cwd before returning None (still degrades, just visibly).
ITEM 2 — edit_gate soft entry-count guard (security/edit_gate.py). edit_gate enforced per-entry CHARACTER caps but not entry COUNTS, so a branch could drift past its count cap between rollovers. New _check_section_counts warns (NEVER blocks) when a rolling section exceeds its cap, reading the SAME memory.config.json rollover caps @memory uses (config_loader.section('rollover') -> per_branch/defaults -> count); wrapped so a config-import failure degrades silently.
Built by @hooks, verified by devpulse: 70 tests green (+14 incl never-blocks guarantee, boundary cases, per-branch override, import-failure resilience); LIVE repro proves item1 logs the error on a bad root and item2 warns over-cap (20/15) without blocking; config structure confirmed to match memory's real caps (not inert).
Rides PR#659 (issue-clearing, no main-merge). Source: #664 verify (S292).
registry.is_owner (apps/handlers/registry.py:382) @-normalized the email but never lowercased, so a mixed-case branch name (registry names are mixed-case: DEVPULSE vs devpulse) returned False against the seated owner while the lowercase form returned True. Harmless today — the only live caller (@ai_mail dispatch_monitor._wake_sender) lowercases first — but the frozen TDPLAN-0012 contract promises a normalized email, and PART-4 owner-gating of watchdog/feedback may pass a raw branch name.
Fix: lowercase BOTH sides of the comparison (passed-in email AND registry owner email), @-strip preserved. +1 case-insensitivity test. Built by @spawn, verified by devpulse: LIVE repro — every case variant of the owner (DEVPULSE/@DEVPULSE/DevPulse) resolves True, non-owners (seedgo/@SEEDGO) and empty stay False; 316 spawn tests green (+1), seedgo 100%.

Two rough edges on the JSONL stall detector, both hardened in one pass on my own module (apps/handlers/watchdog/agent.py).
PART 1 (false-positive): _has_jsonl_activity inferred liveness purely from JSONL file-size growth over the 120s window. An agent doing ONE genuinely long operation (big Read, long Bash, heavy compute) writes no new JSONL lines for that span -> read as idle -> STALLED fires WHILE the agent is actively working. Fix: watch_agent now also treats an in-flight tool_use as activity. While a tool runs, the assistant's tool_use is the last transcript entry; new _last_entry_is_inflight_tool() tail-reads the newest .jsonl and detects it (fully defensive -> False on any parse/shape drift, degrading to size-based). LIVE-PROVEN against real Claude Code transcripts: sampled my own session across a 10s in-flight bash -> tool_use line is written at tool START and persists the whole call (the sub-second flush lag is irrelevant at the 120s horizon).
PART 2 (invisible stall): the stall only hit _stderr()+logger. The Monitor tool that arms the watchdog turns each STDOUT line into a live event but only captures stderr to a file (never surfaced) -> devpulse never saw the stall until the 600s timeout. Fix: new _stdout_event() emits the stall (+ a long-running-tool advisory for a possibly-hung tool, + a resumed signal) to stdout so Monitor relays it live; the verbose trail stays on stderr+logger.
Stall logic extracted into a StallTracker class (kills deep-nesting). +9 tests (unit + full-loop stdout proofs + real-transcript schema check); 142 watchdog tests green, seedgo audit 100%, no type errors.
Rides PR#659 (issue-clearing campaign, no main-merge).
@spawn: owner + registry_id written into the SEALED registry entries (authority lives in registry, not the self-editable passport). ensure_project_has_owner() now keys off citizen_class=manager (was earliest-created, which mislabeled @aipass) and writes the registry entry. get_owner()/is_owner() resolvers added. 315 tests, seedgo 100%.
@hooks: new registry_gate PreToolUse handler seals *_REGISTRY.json — blocks raw writes/tee/sed/rm + Edit/Write/MultiEdit, redirects to drone @spawn; per-clause bypass defeats compound-command smuggling; reads allowed. 82 tests, seedgo 100%.
@ai_mail: wake-back reslope — SKIP_SENDERS blocklist replaced by an is_owner allowlist. Only the project owner is woken when their dispatched agent completes; all other guards intact (depth cap, lock, occupancy, honest messaging, dispatch_wake.log). seedgo 100% on the changed file.
devpulse cross-part verify (REAL unmocked resolver): is_owner resolves devpulse-only; gate 13/13 incl compound-smuggle blocked + reads/drone-@spawn allowed; wake-back wakes owner / skips non-owner / respects depth-cap; 195 new-suite tests green together. Note: AIPASS_REGISTRY.json is gitignored — this ships the CODE; owner data regenerates per-install via ensure_project_has_owner. Still open (PART 4): gate watchdog+feedback on is_owner; portability of owner-only privileges across projects.
setup.sh merges user hooks instead of overwriting (DPLAN-0234 Strand C). AIPass bridge entries are refreshed on every install (bridges/claude.py marker); user-wired hooks and custom events now survive install/re-run. Fixture-verified: customs preserved, stale bridge entries replaced without duplicates, fresh-install output shape-identical (7 events, 6+6 entries). Background: full hook fire-test on fresh Linux Docker install passed 17/17.
- README: setup.sh mention tied to the ./aipass install command + notes hook merge-not-overwrite
- CONTRIBUTING: contributor bootstrap is ./aipass install --no-init (no first-project scaffold in the engine repo)
- bash passes IS_WINDOWS into the hook-install heredoc; bridge string picks .venv/Scripts/python.exe vs .venv/bin/python3
- @hooks assessment: $AIPASS_HOME expansion fine (CC runs hooks via Git Bash on Windows), bridge has zero POSIX assumptions — interpreter path was the only gap
- Verified both OS modes + merge-marker/custom-hook regression
./aipass repo-root launcher — cold-clone entry (DPLAN-0234 Strand B, built by @aipass). git clone && cd AIPass && ./aipass install is now the whole cold-clone flow: pre-setup only 'install' works (delegates to setup.sh with flag pass-through), post-setup the launcher execs the venv binary transparently. 13 launcher tests, @aipass suite green, seedgo 100%. README Quick Start updated.
- New stdlib-only bash launcher at repo root: pre-setup only 'install' works (delegates to setup.sh, full flag pass-through); post-setup execs the venv aipass binary transparently
- 13 launcher tests (tests/test_launcher.py), bypass.json architecture entry for the test file
- README Quick Start leads with ./aipass install; CHANGELOG entry
setup.sh chains into aipass init run — clone-first one-command install (DPLAN-0234 Strand A). git clone && ./setup.sh now takes a new user from cold clone to an initialized first project in one command. --no-init/--with-init/--project mirror aipass install's handoff rules; CI + piped shells skip automatically (windows/macos-test workflows untouched, proven in clean-room Docker run 1). install.py passes --no-init so the pip path doesn't double-init. Clean-room Docker: both runs exit 0.
CI flagged @aipass at 99%: install.py had no no-args introspection gate and a direct mkdir. Both are sanctioned patterns (binary-invoked 'aipass install' bare-runs; bootstrap dir-prep before services exist) matching doctor/init_flow/profile precedent. @aipass authored the bypass entries; landing them. Local audit now 100%, pyright clean.
fix(hooks): TG replies no longer overwrite the previous message — clear processing_message_id in _advance_pending after first delivery so remote/mirror/multi-Stop turns send new messages instead of re-editing. +2 regression tests, 114/114.
The split Dependabot PRs (#init, #analyze) each bumped one path in security.yml,
leaving the sibling at v4.36.2 -> CodeQL fails 'init and analyze must match'.
Bump both to v4.36.3 (SHA 54f647b) in one commit, and add a dependabot groups
block so codeql-action (init/analyze/upload-sarif, one monorepo release) always
lands as a single grouped PR. Fixes the two red Security Scan runs.
Follow-up to 4105a7e. CI Windows Test surfaced 3 Windows-only test failures where
the sweep cross-platformed the code but tests still asserted POSIX behavior, plus
a fleet-wide architecture ripple from the template scaffold test:
- ai_mail: 3 Popen detach sites now use creationflags=CREATE_NEW_PROCESS_GROUP on
win32 / start_new_session on POSIX (real win32 detachment); test asserts the
platform-correct kwargs.
- drone: test_rm.py /tmp assertions guarded to POSIX-only (win32 uses
tempfile.gettempdir()); the swept code already dropped hardcoded /tmp on win32.
- seedgo: architecture checker exempts template scaffold test files
(test_scaffold.py via TEMPLATE_IGNORE_PATTERNS) from branch conformance -- a
template example test is not a structural requirement in every branch. Restores
all 17 branches to 100%.

The 3 branches the template checker correctly flagged had never had their
.aipass/aipass_local_prompt.md filled in — they booted with a NEEDS CONFIGURATION
placeholder and no branch-specific identity. Each branch wrote its own real prompt
(identity, key commands, architecture, critical rules, integration points;
~63-67 lines, PROMPT_STYLE.md format).
Dispatched @cli/@drone/@prax (each owns its identity); verified independently —
0 stub markers, all three Template 100%, real coherent content.

@aipass TDPLAN-0011 doc-drift request (repo-level doc = devpulse git territory):
1. Stage count 12->11 in rows 3.2 and 7.2 (aipass init has been 11 stages since S42;
row 3.3 already said 'all stages', no numeric drift there).
2. 'drone @hooks hookstatus' -> 'drone @hooks status' in Phase 6.3 and the per-branch
smoke matrix (hookstatus is Unknown on current drone — gap #9 itself).
3. Added a 'Machine pre-flight' note to the 3-layers intro: aipass init runs a
layer-3-lite pre-flight, and 'aipass doctor --cross-os/--e2e/--record' is the
machine sweep that augments (never replaces) the human layer-3 pass.
Left the two legit 'other 12 branches' references (branch count) untouched.
Closes devpulse todo #64.

Pass 3 / final. The definitive-marker scan still matched {{BRANCH}} inside markdown
inline code — spawn's README documents 'Replace `{{BRANCH}}` in...', which is
scaffolding docs, not an un-rendered stub (spawn scored 66%). For .md files, fenced
+ inline code is now stripped once up front before BOTH the definitive and
single-curly scans; passport.json (JSON) still scans raw. Safe because real stubs
carry markers in prose/headings (the '## Status: NEEDS CONFIGURATION' line), never
exclusively in code.
Verified system-wide: Template avg 80%→94%; spawn + seedgo cleared to 100%; only
the three genuine unconfigured prompt stubs (cli/drone/prax) still flag. +3 tests
(24/24), full suite green (1132). Completes the checker-solid work begun in 26893fb.

The advisory 'template' stale-checker matched marker strings anywhere in a file,
firing on documentation ABOUT templates rather than un-rendered stubs. Two root
causes fixed:
1. Scanned .trinity/*.json (all memory) — local.json/observations.json accumulate
marker mentions (seedgo's own note about the checker, prax's template_pusher
note). Now scans passport.json only, the sole spawn-templated trinity file.
2. Single-curly {…} regex ran on every .md, matching inline JSON/f-strings/code
paths in READMEs. Now single-curly detection runs on the branch prompt only
(README template has no single-curly placeholders) and strips fenced + inline
code first.
Definitive-marker detection unchanged — real stubs (cli/drone/prax prompts) still
flag. Verified live: seedgo 100%, drone/prax flag only the real prompt stub.
+4 tests (21/21). Dispatched to @seedgo (owner), verified independently.

New post-2.6.1 changelog period (unreleased, merge held for later). Documents the
_advance_pending processing_message_id fix under Fixed (@hooks, f42a98b, PR #651).
_advance_pending kept the pending file with a frozen processing_message_id, so
any Stop firing without a fresh placeholder (remote/mirror input or multi-Stop
turns) re-edited the same Telegram message instead of posting a new one. Clear
processing_message_id after the first delivery so subsequent Stops fall through
to send a new message. Live-proven on the devpulse bot; +2 regression tests
in TestAdvancePending (114/114).
devpulse-tier (owner) verb: fetch origin, VERSION GUARD (tag X.Y.Z must match origin/main pyproject + __init__), EXISTS GUARD (refuse if tag exists), tag origin/main + push -> fires publish.yml. 'tag --list' is global tier. Removes the last user-input step from releases (Patrick request, S274). Merge playbook (merge.md) updated to use it. Verb proven live: cut v2.6.1.
PATCH bump riding into PR#646 so main's merge commit carries the release version. pyproject + __init__ = 2.6.1 (must match the v2.6.1 tag). CHANGELOG [2026-07-02] leads with the release rollup + all 6 CI-stabilization fixes.
test_partial_line_not_consumed asserted +1 byte for the newline, but write_text() text mode translates \n->\r\n on Windows (2 bytes) -> off-by-one, failing windows-setup only. Switched both transcript write sites to write_bytes() for deterministic LF cross-platform. Production _tail_transcript_bytes is already CRLF-safe (reads rb, splits b'\n', strips \r) — test-only fix.
.gitignore exceptions still pointed at templates/builder/ after the TDPLAN-0010 rename (13463c0), so DASHBOARD.local.json + 10 other template dirs/files under templates/aipass_framework/ were silently gitignored — on disk (dirty tree passed) but absent in clean clones/CI. Result: spawn produced no DASHBOARD.local.json and test_full_spawn failed only in a clean checkout. Fixed all 23 .gitignore exception paths + tracked the now-visible template files (all placeholder/seed content: {{BRANCHNAME}}/{{DATE}}/{{CITIZEN_NUMBER}}).
Root-cause fixes for PR#646 red (dev broke after DPLAN-0226/FPLAN-0289/TDPLAN-0010 batch):
- seedgo: branch_audit honors ADVISORY (template_check no longer averaged into gate) + presence_gate added to hooks-snapshot fixture (4 tests)
- hooks: cc_sessions README entry + seedgo modules bypass (reads external ~/.claude, not branch data)
- spawn: retire passport(disabled).py/passport_ops(disabled).py to .archive/ (disabled suffix kept broken cross-import visible to type checker)
- ai_mail: broker-fd test gives testbranch a real .trinity/passport.json for the new marker-walk resolution (f914ab6)
Navmap (@hooks): one bullet in the Memory section — caps are hook-enforced,
the live cap is rendered in each file's *_meta line; read it before writing,
draft to ~80%, one-pass rewrite if rejected. Devpulse branch prompt: same
behavior, explicitly notes caps are NOT listed (single source =
memory.config.json → entry_limits, auto-rendered by @memory's tab_renderer).
Change the config → enforcement + in-file docs follow mechanically; prompts
never go stale.

beb048d made the Claude bridge propagate a hook's exit code so presence_gate's
UserPromptSubmit block can cancel a prompt. Every security gate
(rm/git/edit/subagent/presence) already returned exit_code 2 for a block, but
the old bridge swallowed it — so test_t2a_rm_gate_blocks pinned exit 0. Update
the e2e contract to expect exit 2 + the stdout decision JSON, which is the real,
live-proven block signal.
Sole CI red on the P1-activation commits: 1 failed, 10116 passed. Fixes both
e2e-wheel (all 3 OSes) and Windows Test (full suite includes tests/e2e).

Final activation fix. The gate recorded os.getpid(), but the hook runs as a
short-lived subprocess (python3 -> sh -> claude) that dies in milliseconds, so
every later session saw the prior holder's PID as dead, reclaimed it, and never
blocked. claim()/release() now resolve the owning session via _resolve_session_pid():
walk the /proc parent chain (PPid from /proc/<pid>/status) up to the comm=claude
ancestor and record THAT pid. Fails OPEN if no claude ancestor (non-Linux, or an
unexpected process tree). handle_stop() is now a no-op: Stop fires every assistant
turn, so releasing there would free the slot mid-session; stale-detection (the
claude pid going away) reclaims on real exit instead.
PROVEN LIVE — real two-session interactive test (the unit blind spot that a
long-lived-holder harness masks):
session 1 in branch X resolves chain 731814:python3 -> 731813:sh -> 730933:claude,
records pid 730933 (comm=claude, cwd=X); work_dir=X, cwd_match True.
session 2 in branch X resolves its own claude pid, sees X occupied by live
730933, and Claude Code blocks the prompt in the UI:
"UserPromptSubmit operation blocked by hook: ztest... already live at PID 730933
- attach, do not spawn."
session 2 did NOT clobber session 1; a different branch is unaffected.
Added 9 tests modelling the ephemeral-PID lifecycle (54 presence tests total);
seedgo @hooks 100%.
Activation is a machine-local provider-settings change (presence_gate wired first
in ~/.claude/settings.json UserPromptSubmit) — not tracked in the repo; the code
landing here is what makes it correct.

Activation fixes for the single-session presence gate. Two bugs blocked it,
both caught by live testing after all units were green:
1) Wrong branch key. presence_gate used Path.cwd().name, but under the Claude
Code bridge the hook process cwd is the project root, so every session keyed
to "AIPass": the gate never enforced one-live-session-per-branch and would
have rejected sessions project-globally (any 2nd interactive session in any
branch). Now _resolve_branch(hook_data) reads the event payload's cwd (the
real session dir) and walks up to the branch root (.trinity/ or apps/),
mirroring branch_loader. Applied in handle() and handle_stop().
2) Block never reached Claude Code. engine.dispatch() returned only stdout, so
the bridge could not surface a non-zero exit. dispatch() now returns
(stdout, exit_code) and the bridge exits with it on a block. Pre-existing gap
affecting every block hook on every event; now fixed engine-wide. An
intentional block (exit 2 + {"decision":"block"}) propagates; a crashing hook
(exit 2, non-JSON stdout) is logged and falls through, so the gate fails open.
Proven: 110 hooks unit tests pass (6 new for branch resolution); seedgo @hooks
100%, no type errors. Live bridge end-to-end (real live holder + real bridge):
duplicate into a held branch -> exit 2 + block reason naming the branch; a
different free branch -> exit 0 (per-branch isolation intact). Gate remains
dormant: not yet wired into provider settings.
Design: DPLAN-0225 / FPLAN-0289 P1 activation. Build by @hooks.

via .ai_central/PRESENCE.central.json and never starts its own brain.
ensure_tmux_session resolves in 3 strategies (central pointer -> shared_session
config -> already-running own tmux), re-binding to the live session on every message
(handover-safe). The legacy AIPASS_SESSION_TYPE=telegram own-session spawn is retired:
replaced with a clear "no live session to mirror" error; an absent/stale pointer falls
back gracefully and never starts a session. on_session_create (which injected "hi"
after self-start) removed as obsolete -- attaching to a live session injects nothing.
New helpers: _find_presence_file, _read_presence_pointer (PID-liveness via os.kill),
_find_tmux_for_presence (attach_handle preferred, tmux-CWD-scan fallback).
601 TG + 252 skills tests pass; seedgo Unused_Function 100% (overall 99%; residual is
a pre-existing Json_Handler item in unrelated modules). Live mirror proof to follow.
Design: DPLAN-0225 / FPLAN-0289 P2. Build by @skills.

Windows CI was red on f460cd5: the patch_flock fixture patched presence.fcntl,
which only exists on POSIX (msvcrt on win32), erroring all 16 presence-test
setups. Now patches the platform-agnostic _presence_lock context manager
(-> nullcontext per call) and skips the inherently-POSIX flock-acquire test on
win32. Dormant prod code unchanged.
705 tests pass, seedgo 100%. Fix by @hooks.

One live Claude runtime per branch. presence.py manages .ai_central/PRESENCE.central.json
(claim/release/refresh, PID + /proc/cwd liveness, stale-reclaim, PID-guarded release so a
non-holder can never release the holder). presence_gate.py: UserPromptSubmit blocks a
duplicate (exit 2 + decision:block), Stop releases; skips sub-agents + dispatched/daemon.
SessionStart can't block in Claude Code (inject-only) → gate is UserPromptSubmit, like the
edit/git gates. NOT wired into hooks.json yet — dormant, zero behavior change until enabled.
705 tests pass, seedgo 100%. Live cross-process block + PID-guard verified (devpulse).
Design: DPLAN-0225. Next: P2 telegram relay follows the pointer (@skills).

base_bot.py _resolve_active_transcript: slug replaces both backslash and / (Windows work_dir paths left backslashes → wrong projects_dir; POSIX no-op). test_mirror_session.py: slug matches production + mkdir exist_ok=True (dir pre-created on Windows → WinError183). test_monitor.py: mock _save_monitor_subscription→False instead of /dev/null OSError trick. 578 TG + 252 skills green on Linux; Windows-safe by construction. Fix by @skills, verified by devpulse.
readme_check.py: _count_test_functions now skips any path with a SOURCE_SKIP_DIRS segment (.archive) — root cause of the local-vs-CI test-count mismatch (daemon counted 486 local incl archived dead tests vs 300 in CI clean checkout). test_quality_check.py: _find_test_files_broad replaced __pycache__-only skip with _should_skip_dir() on all path parts. Daemon 486→300, audit 100%, 17-branch audit zero regressions. CI-neutral (clean checkout has no .archive). Fix by @seedgo, verified by devpulse.
CI's clean checkout counts 300 live tests (matches pytest); README claimed 486 because the count included 6 archived dead-test files under tests/.archive/ (186 tests). 300 is the true live/CI count. Root-cause framework fix (audit must always ignore .archive) dispatched to @seedgo separately.
- run() called a non-existent self._poll_loop() AND duplicated the parent lifecycle incompletely (missing signal handlers, offset load/save) — bot exited 1 in <1s under systemd. Now wraps super().run() with digest start/stop only.
- Fixed broken 'from .json import json_handler' (relative path did not exist) → absolute import; log queue_requested op so json_structure standard is met by use, not noqa
- Added missing docstrings: handle_message / handle_file / get_custom_commands
- ROOT CAUSE: 26 unit tests never executed run() (it blocks on polling) → green tests, failing ExecStart (key-learning #77: test the real ExecStart, not the drone/mocked form). Verified live: bot now active+polling via systemd, 26 tests + seedgo 30 still green.
- One queue: archive dormant task_registry + actions_registry (+5 tests) to .archive/, retire schedule/actions CLIs; .daemon/schedule.json is now the single source
- Status capture: runstate gains last_status/last_error/last_success_at/last_failure_at; persisted on success AND failure paths (was success-only)
- Unified view: drone @daemon queue + --json (frozen schema), aggregates .daemon/*.json joined to runstate
- Lifecycle pings: un-archived telegram_notifier wired to @skills send_telegram_notification (fail-soft, per-job notify flag, zero calls on empty ticks)
- 24 new tests (327 pass), seedgo 98%; verified live end-to-end (queue --json schema + real telegram delivery via daemon wrapper)
DPLAN-0218 pulled telegram into the seedgo gate, surfacing 16 unused_function
flags across 8 handlers. They are ported-but-unwired (S249), not dead — pending
DPLAN-0220 wiring. Added name-scoped unused_function bypasses citing DPLAN-0220,
documented each in SKILL.md -> Ported-but-unwired (remove bypass as wired).
@skills 100%.
core.py adopt-path read the passport via json.loads(read_text()) — a direct
file op that fails the json_handler standard and the CI seedgo-audit gate.
Switch to json_handler.read_json() (matches the pattern ~90 lines above),
drop the now-unused 'import json as _json'. @spawn 100%; 315 spawn tests green.
Guarding the fcntl import let Windows collection succeed, which surfaced 3
telegram tests that had never run on Windows — all test-portability bugs:
- log_streamer byte-count broke on CRLF -> fixture writes newline=''
- bot_registry write-failure used Unix-only /proc -> file-as-parent (all OS)
- validate_bot_config rejected POSIX work_dir on Windows (Path.is_absolute is
host-dependent) -> test absoluteness under PurePosixPath OR PureWindowsPath
493 telegram tests green on Linux; ruff clean.
bot_registry did a bare 'import fcntl' (POSIX-only); on Windows the 8
telegram test modules importing it failed at collection (ModuleNotFoundError),
reddening Windows Test on recent PRs. Guard the import and route flock calls
through no-op-on-Windows _lock/_unlock helpers. 246 telegram tests green.
Mirrors the live 'drone @prax monitor run' Mission-Control feed to a dedicated
Telegram bot (DPLAN-0221). New monitoring/telegram_relay.py taps _render_event,
batches every 5s (4000-split, 150 flood-cap, fail-silent-once), gated by
--relay/env so local monitor stays console-only. Reboot-survivable
prax-monitor.service. 937 prax tests green (31 new).
Deploy fixes (devpulse): ExecStart -> 'monitor run' (module __main__ rejects
'run all --relay'); service log moved out of system_logs/ to ~/.aipass/ to break
a monitor<->@trigger feedback loop.
Revives the old prax-monitor capability as a feature of the existing
@aipass bot (no 2nd bot, no new credential). /monitor on|all|off|status
on base_bot; subscribed chat persisted to @api (survives restart) and
boot-started on startup. LogStreamer gains system_wide glob + level_filter
(default WARNING/ERROR/CRITICAL, all=passthrough). 33 new tests,
telegram 493/493, skills 252/252, seedgo 98%.
Route B (true AS-WAS @prax event-feed relay) tracked separately.
DPLAN-0221
The ported telegram-bot@.service logged to a non-existent ~/system_logs
(would crash-loop the service); point StandardOutput/StandardError at
<repo>/system_logs where the app already logs. Then installed the unit,
enable --now + loginctl enable-linger so the @aipass mother-bot runs as a
proper user service with reboot survival and a one-line restart. Startup
log confirms: Telegram API OK, Command menu set (6 commands), poll loop,
tmux session preserved, NRestarts=0.
DPLAN-0220
Resolves the build_botfather_commands design call (Patrick: KEEP, not delete).
POPULATE: base_bot sets its Telegram command menu on startup (setMyCommands)
after verify_connection, so every bot — base or minted — gets a populated
slash-menu, not just create_bot'd ones (the live @aipass was hand-launched
and had none).
SYNC: build_botfather_commands (telegram_standards) is now the single source
feeding base_bot-startup AND create_bot; DEFAULT_BOT_COMMANDS retired. The
Telegram menu and /help list the same commands incl. /create + /cancel.
ENRICH: friendlier command descriptions + /help intro/footer.
Wiring the builder (vs deleting it as 'dead') lifted Unused_Function 92->93%.
6 new tests (menu==help sync, enriched copy, startup-menu, custom cmds);
telegram 460/460, skills 252/252. Running bots need a restart to pick up the
startup menu.

bot_factory.create_bot now calls set_secret('telegram', bot_id, config,
as_json=True) right after building the config (fail-loud on OSError), so a
newly-minted bot's token reaches the @api store that load_bot_config reads.
The disk write is downgraded to a non-fatal shadow; registry now records
bot_token_ref='@api:telegram/{id}' (TG-LIFE-069).
Proven: new TestCreateBotRoundTrip — create_bot -> @api -> load_bot_config
returns the persisted config; + a fail-loud test (set_secret OSError ->
create_bot returns None). Telegram 454/454, skills 252/252.

Surfaced by a full completeness audit of the telegram skill against
TELEGRAM_PORT_MAP.md (366 tags, ~83% ported, 452/452 tests green).
@api — in-process set_secret(provider, slug, value, *, as_json) writer
mirroring get_secret (0o600 files / 0o700 dirs, no stdout echo). The store
was read-only; this is the GAP1 enabler the telegram mother-bot needs to
persist a created bot's config. 515 @api tests, seedgo 100%.
@skills telegram wave-1 (fix-forward, no deletions):
- GAP2: bot_factory + telegram-bot@.service launched a non-existent
~/.venv/bin/python3; now sys.executable -m ...base_bot (+ lib/__init__.py
and lib/telegram/__init__.py for package resolution).
- Reboot survival: enable_service now installs the unit to
~/.config/systemd/user/ + daemon-reload (was never installed).
- GAP9: gitignore lib/telegram/.local/ so runtime state stops leaking to git.
- prax-monitor: log_streamer now resolves repo-root system_logs (honoring
AIPASS_TEST_LOG_DIR) instead of a hardcoded ~/system_logs.
Verified: telegram 452/452 green (twice), base_bot imports via -m.

The CLI help-checker fix (4d41065) immediately surfaced the same
console.print(parser.format_help()) laundering in 4 @api modules on its first
audit run — exactly the latent stragglers the static-scan loophole had been
hiding. Rewrote each print_help() to hand-rolled Rich markup (content was
already in the argparse epilogs); removed the help-only argparse parsers.
- api_key.py, usage_tracker.py, google_client.py, openrouter_client.py
- @api audit Cli + Overall back to 100% (38/38), 504 tests pass, no bypass
DPLAN-0217 (follow-on).

seedgo's cli/help_text/introspection standards are static source scans — they
confirm a print_help function, console.print, and --help wiring exist, but never
execute --help. So a module could score 100% while rendering raw argparse.
ai_mail did exactly that via console.print(parser.format_help()), laundering
argparse plain text through the approved console API and dodging the existing
parser.print_help() ban.
- seedgo: cli_check now flags .format_help(); cli.md/cli_content.py name it
alongside print_help(); +2 regression tests (1095 pass, self-audit 100%)
- ai_mail: rewrote print_help() to hand-rolled Rich (737 tests pass); --help now
renders Rich with no raw argparse, Cli back to 100% legitimately
- behavioral --help check (run it, assert not raw argparse) noted as a follow-up
DPLAN-0217.

Backup was the outlier — its default .backupignore content was hardcoded as the
BUILTIN_IGNORES Python list + assembled in _build_backupignore(). Moved it to a
template DATA FILE (backup/templates/backupignore.template), matching the AIPass
convention (flow/spawn/memory all keep templates as files).
- New: templates/backupignore.template (header + patterns, incl logs/).
- _build_backupignore() reads the template via __file__-relative pathlib and
RAISES FileNotFoundError if it's missing — never silently empty (an empty
.backupignore = back up everything = crash). Behavior-preserving otherwise.
- Retired BUILTIN_IGNORES (only setup.py consumed it). Runtime load_spec path
untouched.
- Tests expanded (30 pass): per-pattern template assertions + reads-template +
raises-on-missing-template. Docs/comments repointed to the template.
seedgo @backup 100%. td-30.
Confirmed (via @backup) the two-layer ignore model and wrote it down so it stops
getting re-discovered:
- BUILTIN_IGNORES (patterns.py) = the SEED that generates a new project's
.backupignore at register; never consulted at backup time.
- .backupignore (via load_spec) = the runtime source of truth. No static
fallback exists, so the seed is safety-critical — an empty .backupignore backs
up everything (.venv, node_modules, .git) and can crash the machine.
Added a 'How Ignores Work' README section + code comments on BUILTIN_IGNORES and
load_spec. Added logs/ to the seed so new projects exclude log dirs (prax .jsonl
output) by default, not just *.log files, with a test. seedgo @backup 100%.
td-27.
README: added the 3 missing agents (@daemon, @skills, @commons) to the tree and
tables, normalized the agent count to 17 everywhere (was an inconsistent 13/14).
@daemon -> Quality & operations; new 'Capabilities and community' group for
@skills + @commons (td-28).
/prep: both the Claude command and Codex skill mirror gained a 'Reconcile todos
against reality' step — audit every open todo against the actual system and close
what's verifiably done, catching past-session work that was never closed.
CHANGELOG updated.
The standard email footer told dispatched agents 'CLOSE FPLAN -> drone @flow
close <plan_id>', which led them to close the orchestrator's master/parent plan
referenced in their brief (bit us in FPLAN-0260). Reworded to 'CLOSE YOUR PLAN
-> ... this task's plan only, never the master/parent': a worker still closes the
sub-plan handed to it, the master stays the orchestrator's to close on completion.
td-6. Footer string + test assertion; 737 ai_mail tests pass.
Completes the backup-docs sweep (td-218):
- @memory README: note rollover writes rollover_backup_*.json to <branch>/.backup/
- @flow README: note closed plans archive to <repo-root>/.backup/processed_plans/
both cross-referencing @backup's canonical README.
- Removed orphaned src/aipass/prax/.backupignore (prax is not a registered
backup target; only the AIPass project root is).
seedgo green across all three (@flow 100, @memory 100, @prax 99 = pre-existing
Json_Handler, unrelated).

The bulletin_created event handler propagated a 'bulletin_board' section into
every branch dashboard, but it was fully dead: nothing fired the event, its
BULLETINS.central.json store no longer exists, and prax already prunes
'bulletin_board' via DEPRECATED_SECTIONS. Archived the handler to
events/.archive/, removed its import + trigger.on() registration, dropped the
5 covering tests (558 pass). seedgo audit 100%. prax pruning left intact.

unused_function bypasses matched by file+line; the line was the function's
def line, so any code shift above it staled the bypass and silently re-flagged
the exempted function, dropping the branch below 100% (S216/S217).
Mechanism: is_bypassed() gains a 'functions' field + name param; name-scoped
match takes precedence, 'lines' kept for back-compat (no other standard
changes). unused_function_check passes the function name. +7 tests (1093),
seedgo self-audit 100%, bypass schema documented.
Migration: converted 10 line-scoped entries to functions: across
drone/memory/skills; removed 3 dead memory/vector_search entries already
pointing past EOF (file is 152 lines). drone/memory/skills re-audit:
Unused_Function 100% (names verified live). Closes td-009.

readme_check did its own modules/ and tests/ globs that bypassed the
central audit collector, so an in-place foo(disabled).py tripped a false
'missing module' violation and inflated README test counts. Wire
is_disabled_file into both globs (check_module_list, _count_test_functions).
+2 regression tests, 1086 green, self-audit 100%. Closes td-103.

Version bump 2.5.3 -> 2.6.0 (MINOR — ships compass v2, daemon scheduler, @backup
restoration, telegram skill, tiered prompts). Bumped in both pyproject.toml and
src/aipass/__init__.py. CHANGELOG top section enriched into a 2.6.0 release
roll-up so the GitHub Release notes read properly. Rides into PR640.
README Readme standard was at 75%: compass module/handler undocumented and the
test count had drifted. Added compass to the architecture tree + a Compass
command section, bumped tests 236->282, refreshed the date stamp. devpulse audit
back to 100%.
Batch of S243/S244 work held for PR640. Only devpulse has git write, so all
branches' changes (@memory, @prax, @hooks, @aipass, @skills, @flow, @backup,
@seedgo) land through this single commit.
Memory rollover (correctness):
- @hooks rollover hook now delegates to drone @memory rollover check/run — it
had been reading stale .trinity limits (moved to memory.config.json by
DPLAN-0210), falling back to a 600-line check that never fired, so rollover was
silently dead for weeks. compact.py reads the current list schema. Both fail loud.
- @memory removed the v1 line-count/600 fallback entirely — v2-only, fail-loud
(959 tests).
Retire-for-all (DPLAN-0215):
- Legacy global prompt fully removed across every runtime: global_loader.py +
tests deleted, hooks.json/project_hooks.json blocks stripped, bootstrap global
seeding removed, cadence default + bypass cleaned, global .md files archived.
Codex SessionStart + Claude cadence read the same tier files.
Hardcoded-path cleanup (seedgo #37):
- New HARDCODED_PATH checker (#37). @memory symbolic.py + @prax branch_detector.py
home paths -> dynamic/generic. Both 100% Hardcoded_Path.
- seedgo provider_hooks_snapshot.json fixture refreshed to the tiered baseline.
Genericization: patrick -> user across tracked source, docs, templates.
CHANGELOG: 2026-06-19 + 2026-06-23 sections added.
Closes the deployment gap — cadence_config.json + the settings.json bridge are machine-local (gitignored), so fresh clones needed the tiered wiring seeded from committed sources:
- cadence.py DEFAULTS (keystone): adds tier0(period 1) + navmap(period 5) to the code fallback, so a fresh clone with no cadence_config.json gets tiered cadence automatically (was defaulting tier0 to period 5).
- setup.sh: fresh-install bridge seed now emits tier0_kernel + navmap, drops global_prompt.
- provider_manifest.json: doctor update path adds the tiered entries on existing machines, drops global_prompt.
Convergence: the committed hooks.json (global_prompt enabled:false) means even a stale settings.json with a global bridge is skipped by the engine. 615/615 tests (1 new: test_defaults_include_tiered_loaders), seedgo 100%.
Harvested from Claude Code's skill-authoring spec:
- when_to_use frontmatter field (trigger phrases) on all 3 SKILL.md templates + github catalog exemplar; discovery scan surfaces it so agents see triggers without loading the full body.
- Per-step 'Done when:' success criteria in the Steps section.
- 'Use when / Do NOT use when' structure in the When to Use section.
252/252 tests pass.
Replaces the single 8k always-injected global prompt with cadence-tiered injection:
- Tier 0 (.aipass/tier0_kernel.md, ~2k) injects EVERY turn — identity grounding, the drone --help reflex, disaster-preventer rules. Folds DPLAN-0213 C1 (faithful-reporting) + C2 (no-gold-plating sub-agent brief).
- Tier 1 (.aipass/tier1_navmap.md, ~7.7k) injects every 5th turn + session-start + post-compaction — full agent roster, framework, conventions, plus a new Terminology section migrated from the S211 backup.
- Old global_prompt loader retired (disabled in hooks.json, removed from cadence wiring); aipass_global_prompt.md kept as a reference snapshot.
Engine (built by @hooks): per-loader period in cadence.py should_fire() (back-compatible: unset period falls back to global); new tier0_kernel + navmap handlers; bypass.json extended to cover the two new dynamically-dispatched handlers. 614/614 tests pass, seedgo @hooks 100%.
Live-verified: tier0 fires every turn, navmap on turn 0/5/10, turn counter advances once per turn (not per loader), no double-injection. Machine-local wiring (cadence_config.json, ~/.claude/settings.json bridge) updated on this host; fresh-clone seeding of those is a tracked follow-up.
PROMPT_STYLE.md reference updated to point at the tier files as canonical examples.
- PROMPT_STYLE.md: new 'Writing voice' section (file_path:line refs, no-colon-before-tool-call, no emojis, write-for-a-person, three-tier where-detail-lives) — harvested from Claude Code's own prompt
- devpulse local: blast-radius habit before any drone write-op (reversibility + scope)
- global + devpulse-local: S241 whitespace/structure cleanup (readable English restored)
Compass guidance now lives in the public local prompt (compass is public). Recall
-> @memory; decide/fork -> compass query; good/bad decision -> compass add;
Patrick fires /compass. Old gitignored private_prompt injection now redundant.

PR #640's only failing required check was Code scanning/CodeQL: 3 HIGH
py/clear-text-logging-sensitive-data alerts where get-secret printed raw secret
values to stdout. Research (OWASP, CodeQL rule source, secret-CLI survey)
confirmed a real exposure — acute for AIPass since it runs inside Claude Code,
which captures command stdout into model context, and the telegram skill
shelled out to get-secret and parsed the token from stdout.
@api (P1):
- NEW apps/modules/secrets.py — in-process cross-branch door (get_secret,
list_secrets) wrapping the auth handler; consumers import this, not the CLI.
- get_secret_cmd rewritten: masked summary by default ('slug: set (N chars)'),
--out FILE writes the raw value 0o600 and prints only the path, --list shows
slug names via console.print. All 3 raw-value print() sinks removed.
- bypass.json reasoning + README + help updated.
@skills (P2):
- telegram config._get_secret / list_bot_configs rewired from subprocess+stdout
parse to the in-process aipass.api.apps.modules.secrets API; subprocess/json
imports dropped. Tests + SKILL.md updated.
Also: seedgo test_checkers_batch2.py — comment the synthetic sk-or-v1 fixture
keys as FAKE (not real credentials).
Verified: @api 504 tests + seedgo 100%; telegram 452/452; skills 252/252; no
secret reaches stdout by any path.

- telegram skill: register a minimal telethon sys.modules stub in the test
conftest so botfather_client tests (which patch telethon.*) run without the
optional MTProto library installed. Fixes 7 ModuleNotFoundError failures;
telegram suite now 452/452 green.
- pyrightconfig.json: add the root .venv site-packages to extraPaths (has
pytest + project deps) alongside memory's venv, so the @hooks auto_fix
pyright check stops emitting false 'Import pytest could not be resolved' on
every test file. CI does not run pyright; this is local-DX only.
Both CI-safe: telegram tests live under .aipass/ (excluded from umbrella
pytest) and pyright is not a CI gate, so PR #640 stays green.

Once the collection-level blockers were fixed, the Windows runner finally ran the
suite and surfaced 7 pre-existing failures — all tests asserting Linux-only
behavior, while the production code already handles non-Linux gracefully:
- api test_secrets: chmod(0o000) can't make a file unreadable to its owner on
Windows (the 'unreadable -> None' precondition is unreachable)

The CI Linux seedgo-audit step failed: commons + daemon at 99%, readme 87%
('Directories in tree not found on disk: tools'). Their READMEs document tools/,
a gitignored branch-local runtime dir (like logs/, dropbox/) absent in CI's
tracked-only checkout. The readme-currency skip-list already covered logs/dropbox
but missed tools.
- Add 'tools' to the readme-currency runtime-dir skip set (readme_check.py)
- Test coverage in test_readme_content_checks.py
Verified: commons + daemon readme 100% (was 87%), overall 100% (was 99%);
seedgo self-audit 100%, 1060 seedgo tests pass. Work by @seedgo (FPLAN dispatch).

The custom norecursedirs in pyproject dropped pytest's default '.*' pattern, so
pytest recursed into .aipass/ scaffolding. The telegram skill bundled at
src/aipass/skills/.aipass/skills/telegram/tests/ (with __init__.py) made its
conftest resolve to module 'tests.conftest', colliding with branch tests/
conftest.py -> ImportPathMismatchError aborted collection on BOTH Linux CI and
Windows (the sole remaining green-CI blocker after the guard fix).
- Re-add '.*' to norecursedirs (skips .aipass/.trinity/.seedgo/... scaffolding)
- Verified: full src collection 9540 tests, no ImportPathMismatch; only the
telegram .aipass scaffold tests excluded (the single tracked test dir under
any dot-dir), all real branch tests still collected
Note: the telegram skill's bundled tests (7 failing locally) are out of umbrella
CI; skills owns stabilizing + properly integrating them.

The cross-branch import guard's same-branch check used a POSIX-only path test,
so on Windows (backslash paths) it failed to recognize a branch importing its
OWN handlers -> ImportError at collection, failing all commons + 2 daemon tests
on the Windows CI runner. (Unmasked once the pathspec fix let collection proceed.)
- commons: '/commons/' substring -> 'commons' in Path(caller_file).parts
- daemon + skills: add .replace('\\','/') before the check (matches the idiom
already used by 15 other branches' guards)
- Convert AIPASS_DEBUG_GUARD debug print() -> sys.stderr.write (cli standard;
avoids import-time logger dependency inside the guard)
Security semantics unchanged: same-branch allowed, cross-branch still blocked
(verified cross-platform). commons+daemon audit 100%, 700 daemon+skills tests
pass, commons 449 tests pass. (skills local 99% = untracked skills_json orphans,
not in CI.)

Disabled files (AIPass convention: rename name(disabled).py instead of delete)
are intentionally-parked inert code, but seedgo audited them as live source —
ai_mail's dashboard_sync(disabled).py dragged it to 99%, blocking green CI.
- Add is_disabled_file() + DISABLED_FILE_MARKER to skip_dirs.py (single source
of truth alongside SOURCE_SKIP_DIRS)
- Apply in branch_audit, dead_code, unused_function, test_quality checkers +
test_map function_scanner + checklist directory mode
- New test in test_coverage_audit.py
Verified: ai_mail 99->100%, seedgo self-audit 100%, 1060 seedgo tests pass,
@cli/@flow unchanged at 100%.

The commons craft/trade/capsule subsystem lives at apps/handlers/artifacts/
but the blanket 'artifacts/' ignore (meant for branch-local runtime dirs)
silently excluded it from git. The tracked test_artifacts.py imports it, so
CI hit ImportError at collection while local passed (files present locally).
- Add *.py-scoped negation in .gitignore (keeps logs/ + __pycache__ ignored)
- Track artifact_ops.py, trade_ops.py, capsule_ops.py, __init__.py
- 19 test_artifacts.py tests pass; imports resolve

- Add pathspec>=0.12 to root pyproject dependencies (was undeclared, caused
ModuleNotFoundError in CI across all Python versions + Windows)
- Rename drive_test.py -> drive_check.py so pytest stops collecting the module

- 220 backup tests pass, seedgo 100% all 37 standards

Identity: normalize branch names to lowercase at both write paths so one
branch = one identity regardless of registry casing (registry has historically
mixed BACKUP vs devpulse, splitting the roster into DEVPULSE/devpulse rows).
- identity_ops.get_caller_branch(): _normalize_branch_name() at the single
caller choke point (post/comment author writes + agent registration).
- db._register_branches(): lowercase on the bulk registry seed.
Verified live: post author lands lowercase, no duplicate rows; uppercase-
registry branches (backup) normalize through the caller path too.
Test suite: session-scoped template DB cloned per test (shutil.copy) + fast
PRAGMAs (journal_mode=MEMORY, synchronous=OFF) instead of re-running
schema.sql+FTS5+registry per test. 449 tests now 86s (was >120s gate timeout);
full per-test isolation preserved, initialized_db interface unchanged.
test_identity: assertions updated for the lowercase caller path; monkeypatch
targets retargeted from the commons_identity facade to identity_ops (where
get_caller_branch resolves them).
.daemon/schedule.json: disabled wake-test seed (decentralized daemon contract example).
seedgo 100% (37/37), 449 tests pass.

handler.py run() received args as a DICT ({'arg0':'base'} from the skill
runner's _parse_extra_args), but _cmd_* consume a positional LIST -> args[0]
raised KeyError(0) (str '0') -> 'start failed: 0', no-op'd the live bot launch.
Add _normalize_args(): dict->list (arg0..argN -> values; key=value -> key,value),
list passes through. Verified live: 'status base' + 'start' route correctly via
the real drone runner. telethon_auth.py: guard optional 'from telethon import'
with type:ignore (matches botfather_client pattern).

- todos don't auto-roll (active work items, pruned by hand) — so when they pile over the per-branch count limit, edit_gate now emits a NON-BLOCKING advisory ('todos over limit (N/M) — prune completed ones') and still allows the save
- reads the count limit from @memory's rollover config (per_branch override -> defaults -> 10); todos-only, local.json-only; char-cap block still takes priority; config-load failure = silent skip
- 11 new tests (522 hooks total), seedgo 100%; verified live (fired 11/10, silent at 10/10)

- memory.config.json is the single source of truth: char caps (entry_limits, global) + rollover counts (per_branch, materialized from registry); .trinity files stripped to a one-line _usage header
- changed_entries gate now matches by content identity, not array position — prepending a new entry never re-flags unchanged legacy entries (old=old, new=new; no trimming required on a cap change)
- rollover push command + top-level 'drone @memory push' alias; corrected config _note + --help (rollover push surfaced, labeled destructive system-wide reset)
- removed 3 dead functions: seed_per_branch, its orphaned write_config, add_learning + its tests
- spawn birthright/builder + LOCAL/OBSERVATIONS templates aligned to the stripped shape
- 966 tests, seedgo 100%

Migration surfaced two consumers that still counted key_learnings as a dict: detector v2 trigger (at-cap list invisible -> fell to v1 line-count) and learnings/manager (used by rollover + symbolic). Made list-aware + dual-mode; +5 regression tests (detector counts a LIST, manager round-trip) — the gap 955 tests missed. rollover check now shows '25/25 key_learnings' (v2), was '609/500 lines'. 960 tests; seedgo 99% (pre-existing unused-function on unwired add_learning, not a regression).

Gate now covers Write/Edit/MultiEdit via _resolve_after_text (reconstruct post-edit
text: Edit replace first/all, MultiEdit sequential) + _evaluate_limits +
_check_trinity_change, all reusing @memory changed_entries. Because only NEW/CHANGED
entries are checked, editing an unrelated field in a file full of legacy over-limit
entries is ALLOWED — proven on devpulse's REAL local.json under enforce=true
(unrelated todo edit allowed, over-limit edit blocked, file never written).
Fail-open on old_string-not-found / invalid-JSON / import error / any exception.

Additive gate in edit_gate.handle(): on Write to .trinity/{local,observations}.json,
lazily importlib-imports @memory's load_entry_limits + changed_entries and flags
new/changed over-limit entries. enforce:false → allow (warn); enforce:true → block
with reason. Fail-OPEN on bad JSON / import error / any exception (this hook runs on
every edit system-wide — never block on its own failure). Edit/MultiEdit pass
through (Phase 5). All 4 existing gates (inbox/daemon/cross-branch/edit-while-errors)
intact. +22 tests (494 total, 13 existing edit_gate green), seedgo 100%, enforce

changed_entries(before,after,limits): pure diff that flags only NEW/CHANGED
over-limit entries, ignoring unchanged legacy fat — so rollover (trims by count,
writes back recent fat entries) is never rejected. Wired into write_memory_file
via _validate_entry_limits (gates only .trinity/{local,observations}.json): warn
mode logs+writes, enforce mode rejects new/changed over-limit only. Validation
wrapped in try/except → a validator bug can never abort a write. +15 tests (917
total), seedgo 100%, enforce stays false. Verified by artifact incl. live proof
of rollover-safety + the defensive guarantee. @memory side (P1-3) complete. The
changed_entries() helper is what @hooks imports next. Part of DPLAN-0205.

Pure check_entry(type,text,limits) validator (chars not bytes, boundary at cap,
unknown-type safe) reusable by both gates. New 'drone @memory lint run' scans all
branches' .trinity via registry, handles dict+list containers and both
key_learning value shapes, sorts worst-first — strictly READ-ONLY (never writes/
trims, honors never_trim_s153). Phase-1 unused_function bypass removed (reader now
called). +12 tests (902 total), seedgo 100%. Verified by artifact incl. live lint:
513 over-limit entries across 17 branches (devpulse worst at 71, top offender
5724/600). enforce still false. Part of DPLAN-0205.

Config-driven char caps for .trinity memory entries. Phase 1 = foundation only:
adds entry_limits section to memory.config.json (4 caps: learnings 200, sessions
300, todos 200, observations 600) and the load_entry_limits(branch) reader
(deep-merge per_branch overrides, safe-defaults on missing/malformed). Reader has
NO callers yet (Phase 3 wires it) — unused_function bypass is intentional.

Backup root is now .backup/ via BACKUP_DIR (builder.py:19); tracker.py uses backup_root() not a hardcoded path; patterns.py BUILTIN_IGNORES + docstrings/README updated. Removed the orphaned per-timestamp versions/ scaffold (setup.py) and unused build_versioned_path() — both superseded by the Phase-3 versioned/ baseline+diff store. .backup/ coexists with flow's .backup/processed_plans/. Repo-root .backupignore now ignores both .backup/ and (until manual deletion) .backup_system/ (also carries Patrick's *logs rule). Verified by artifact (seedgo 100%, 220 tests) + live (throwaway writes to .backup/, no versions/, Drive reads .backup/versioned/).

.backupignore is now AIPass's managed backup filter (true gitignore semantics via pathspec), so it belongs in version control like .gitignore — a fresh clone gets the curated rules, not just the auto-seed default. Includes the .ruff_cache/ + .coverage additions.

Replace hand-rolled fnmatch+part-loop matcher with pathspec gitwildmatch (leading-slash anchoring, !negation, dir-only foo/, *-not-crossing-/, last-match-wins). Demote BUILTIN_IGNORES to a seed-only default (written when absent, never merged at runtime); delete IGNORE_EXCEPTIONS/is_exception (exceptions are native ! lines). snapshot+versioned+all+mirror-cleanup all obey one .backupignore. Remove the drive_sync dotfile-skip so .trinity/.chroma/.aipass/.ai_mail.local (4558 files incl memories) now reach Drive. Add a Drive-sync output panel matching snapshot/versioned.

Faithful port of the GOLD versioned engine (no reinvention). Replaces the mtime
full-copy-into-per-run-dirs remnant with ONE persistent store
(.backup_system/versioned/) using GOLD's file-folder packaging:
<parent>/<name>/<name> current (copy2, mtime preserved)
<parent>/<name>/<stem>-baseline-<date>.<ext> first-run full copy, never touched
<parent>/<name>/<name>_diffs/<name>_v<old-mtime>.diff unified-diff per change
Patrick's laws, all enforced + tested:
- versioned backs up the EXACT same files as snapshot (same scan/ignore;
all.py shares one scan between modes)
- first versioned run = baseline snapshot of that state
- append-only: versioned NEVER deletes (cleanup stays snapshot-only)
- change detection is LEDGER-FREE (source mtime vs store-current mtime) —
removes versioned's use of shared timestamps.json, killing the
snapshot-starves-versioned regression
New diff/restore.py (list_versions + restore_file); diff/generator.py wired
(binary detection, DIFF include/ignore patterns); path/builder.py file-folder
versioned branch (root/ wrap, >50-char hash shortening). +15 tests -> 125.
Verified by artifact (audit 100% all 36, pytest 125, ruff clean) + LIVE
end-to-end: snapshot-first-then-versioned baselines all 5 files (starvation
dead) -> edit -> diff with old-mtime timestamp + current overwritten + baseline
intact -> source delete -> versioned store untouched while snapshot
mirror-deletes -> restore round-trip byte-identical.

src/aipass/common was the only non-citizen directory in the agent namespace.
Per @seedgo design review: moved into @aipass (owner) as aipass.aipass.shared,
content byte-identical. @spawn imports across (blessed shared-infra category,
same as aipass.prax/cli). New subprocess guard test pins the bootstrap-safety
invariant (shared/ loads zero branch deps — aipass init stays pre-drone-safe).
9 import/doc sites updated, 9 documented seedgo bypasses (pre-infra leaf,
stdlib-only by design). aipass 480 + spawn 315 tests green, both audits 100%,
repo-wide zero refs to the old path.
Every autonomous agent can launch inside a kernel-enforced mount namespace
(srt -> bwrap+seccomp): reads stay open (shared live FS preserved, bind-mount not
isolation; own-tree writes land live), but rm/python/find/Write on .git or sibling
trees hit EROFS. /tmp + own tree writable; .git RW devpulse, RO builders. Inert by
default behind AIPASS_SANDBOX_ENABLED (off); flag-off path byte-identical to old.
hooks: srt wrapper + per-role build_policy + broker_secret mask; rm_gate demoted.
drone: out-of-sandbox broker (identity allowlist, openat2 RESOLVE_BENEATH, HMAC
handshake over inherited fd, audit); drone rm via broker when sandboxed.
ai_mail: dispatch gate + broker-fd wiring (fail-loud exit -4, never silent).
aipass: doctor Sandbox group + setup.sh prereqs (LOUD on missing).
Proven by a live 16-check red-team suite. seedgo 100% + 2859 tests green across
all 5 touched branches.

Notification handlers (announce, email, stop_sound, tool_sound) return a

Three ruff call sites called bare `ruff`, absent from the hook subprocess
PATH (ruff lives only in .venv) — logged 'ruff not found' 177x over ~a month,
silently skipping lint+format on every edit. Also `--output-format=text` was
removed from modern ruff. Fixed all three sites to `sys.executable -m ruff`
(the pattern the working pyright leg already uses) + concise format + honest
rc>=2 error logging. Tests now pin the invocation (argv == sys.executable -m
ruff) so a regression fails loud — the subprocess-mock is how this hid.
438/438 hooks tests green; live-verified through the real hook pipeline.

Rewrite the always-injected global prompt from a ~13.8KB encyclopedia
into a ~7.8KB navigation map. The prompt now carries AWARENESS; detail
is fetched on demand via 'drone @agent --help'. Dissolves the harness
~10k-char truncation bug — the old prompt's tail (Hard Rules onward)
silently never arrived; the slim one injects whole.
- drone pinned at top as the router; one drilled reflex: --help before use
- framework tree restored; all 13 agents as 2-3 sentence bios
- introspection named as our term; breadcrumb-first navigation flow
- git its own section (raw git/gh blocked, drone-only, devpulse-writes)
- plans section (DPLAN/FPLAN/PPLAN/RPLAN + 'drone @flow templates')
- @memory chroma awareness (local + global stores, search before cold)
- sub-agent usage section incl. model practice (never fable)
- PROMPT_STYLE-conformant; 7855 chars (cap 8000, measured in chars)

Root cause: _HOOK_PATTERN required an action= key that cadence never
emits — it logs the action as the bare second word (fired/skipped).
Extraction failed, so events never reached the styled print_hook_event
renderer (bold-green lightning / dim dot). Pipeline was already correct.
- _HOOK_PATTERN -> bare-word capture: r'\[HOOKS\]\s+(\w+)\s+(\w+)'
- enriched hook event detail (period, offset, short session id)
- corrected docstring that documented the phantom action= format
- tests updated to real production format + real-pipeline test added
- type:ignore on watchdog imports (repo convention)
Verified: 914/914 prax suite green (90 log_watcher). @prax dispatched
for full-pipeline trace; stale monitor process explained the no-show.

Cadence redo — verified against the live execution model, not unit tests:
- Counter now advances exactly once per real turn (mtime debounce +
transcript-size token + flock). Fixes the separate-process leapfrog where
global/branch loaders double-incremented and fired erratically.
- Structured [HOOKS] cadence fired|skipped logging; prax monitor renders
hook events distinctly for live visibility.
- Action-gated sound: handlers return a 'sound' key the engine plays only on
real action — skipped loaders are silent (no more false piper every turn).
- Fixed auto_fix.py: leftover speak() NameError (swallowed by broad except)
meant diagnostics silently never ran on any edit. Removed; sound moved to
the error path.
- Tests rewritten to model separate-process execution (leapfrog regression
test added); sound assertions across all refactored handlers. 438 pass.
prax: hook fire/skip event rendering in the live monitor. 913 pass.
README: hardcoded metrics (version/tests/PRs/standards) -> live PyPI+codecov

Stop re-injecting the global + branch prompts every turn (~3k tokens/turn).
They now fire together every 5th turn; the prior injection persists in context
between fires. Identity + email stay every-turn.
- apps/modules/cadence.py: per-session turn counter (/tmp/aipass-cadence-
{session_id}.json), should_fire(loader)/reset_counter(), DEFAULTS + deep-merge
config (api provider.py pattern). 'drone @hooks cadence' introspection.
- global_loader.py + branch_loader.py: cadence guard via importlib (crash-
isolated); non-fire turn returns empty.
- compact.py: PreCompact resets counter to -1 -> next turn = 0 = all fire
(rebuild context after compaction). New session = fresh counter = all fire.
- hooks_json/custom_config/cadence_config.json: tunable knob (period/offsets/
enabled), one file, no code edits. Data lives in the json home, not the code
dir. Missing file = code DEFAULTS = safe.
- .seedgo/bypass: documented stdlib-json config read (json_handler N/A for a
dispatch engine).

Memory files now reconcile to template, not just clean known fields:
- normalize.py: rewrote from field-targeted cleanup to template-conformance —
strips ANY key not in the template at every level (root/metadata/limits/status).
Kills legacy orphans (old 'st' blocks, active_tasks, current_lines, max_lines)
that field-targeted cleanup was blind to. Fixed _MEMORY_ROOT path (parents[3])
that silently skipped template loading in production.
- memory_watcher.py: wired normalize_memory_file into both scan paths
(check_and_rollover + on_modified) with a write-loop guard — drift now
self-heals on every trigger, no manual run needed.
- line_counter.py: stop writing current_lines (entry-count is the only metric).
- LOCAL/OBSERVATIONS templates: removed line-count fields.
Entry-count is the sole rollover metric, both files, all branches.
873 tests pass, seedgo 100%.

Seedgo hook-cruft purge + raise CI standards floor to 100%
Two changes:
1. refactor(seedgo): archive pre-DPLAN-0184 hook cruft (FPLAN-0241) — orphaned bridge/probe/manifest modules + tests moved to .archive/; README/bypass/prompts updated. 1045 tests green.
2. ci(seedgo-audit): raise the standards floor 80%->100%.
NOTE — the seedgo-audit check will go RED by design. With the 100% floor, the 6 branches at 99% (aipass/api/drone/flow/prax/seedgo) are now caught. This PR is to OBSERVE the gate enforcing in CI; it is not merge-bound until those 6 branches reach a genuine 100%.
Verification audit caught a gap: spawn create copies templates/builder/ tree
directly (DEFAULT_TEMPLATE), but builder/.trinity/local.json lacked the todos[]
schema — so freshly spawned branches would not inherit it. Seeded todos[] +
max_todos:10 + todo_text_max_chars:200 + operational note to match @memory's
LOCAL.template.json. Now both spawn-create and template-push paths produce
todos[].

which had accumulated 242 stale auto-gen DASHBOARD backups across 10 branches
(the original .recovery report that started this whole investigation).
- aipass.common.json_ops.backup_json gained optional backup_dir param
(default unchanged = file_path.parent/.recovery, backward-compatible).
- spawn update engine (update_ops.py _merge_json) now passes
branch_dir/.spawn/.recovery as the backup dest -> backups land under the
spawn-managed .spawn/ dir, one namespace, not cluttering branch roots.
- Memory stays in the safety net: no memory-exclusion added; the engine just
never touches .trinity/DASHBOARD on update so it never backs them up.
- 2 new tests (unit: custom backup_dir; integration: backup lands in
.spawn/.recovery). 315 spawn + 438 aipass tests green; seedgo 100% both.
Stale .recovery backups swept separately (untracked/gitignored, local hygiene).
.recovery/ gitignore pattern already covers .spawn/.recovery/.
TDPLAN-0006 P4 — final phase. Closes the spawn update-safety + consolidation
work (P0 dry-run-default, P1 #636 engine, P2 shared lib, P3 import kill, P4
backup relocate).

init_flow.py:896 was the one place aipass imported spawn's Python directly:
from aipass.spawn.apps.modules.sync_registry import sync_registry
Replaced with subprocess.run(['drone','@spawn','sync-registry','--fix']) — the
command spawn already exposes — matching the aipass init agent -> drone @spawn
create pattern. Graceful degradation preserved: FileNotFoundError (no drone),
non-zero exit, and timeout are all silently skipped so a registry-sync hiccup
never hard-fails an init update. Safe because init update runs on an existing
project where drone is installed (NOT the pre-drone fresh-init path).
aipass branch now has ZERO direct imports of another branch's ENGINE code.
Remaining cross-branch imports are shared SERVICE layers only (cli Rich UI,
prax logger used in 347 files, trigger events) — infrastructure, not duplication.
Verified: zero aipass.spawn imports in .py code; fresh aipass init still
scaffolds (bootstrap pre-drone intact, 69 tests); 438 tests green (4 new for
the subprocess path: success/failure/missing-drone/timeout); seedgo 100%.
TDPLAN-0006 P3. P4 (.recovery relocate) is the last phase.

#636: drone @spawn update would scramble every branch's identity/memory in
one command. On a branch created seconds earlier, --dry-run proposed 30 renames
rotating identity dirs (apps->.trinity->.seedgo->.claude->.archive->.aipass),
README->DASHBOARD, and deep-merged stale template into live .trinity/. Root
cause: the CREATE path regenerated template-registry IDs in filesystem-walk
order (!= the master's hand-crafted IDs), so content-hash + rename-detection
saw a mismatch on a pristine branch. update --all would have destroyed all 13
citizens at once.
P0 — safety by default:
- update + repair are now dry-run by default; --apply required to write.
Forgotten flag = safe preview-only no-op. --dry-run kept as alias.
- doctor_fix.py repair suggestions emit the matching --apply form
(+ aipass test_doctor_fix updated to the new contract).
P1 — engine rebuild (update_ops.py v2.0):
- Path-based named-managed-files model replaces whole-tree hash-diff +
rename-detection. ID divergence is moot — IDs are no longer used.
- .trinity/*, DASHBOARD.local.json, artifacts/birth_certificate.json,
.seedgo/bypass.json = delivered on CREATE only, NEVER touched on update.
- Old ID engine (change_detection.py, reconcile.py) + orphaned tests deleted.
Verified on fresh sandbox: update --dry-run = 0 renames / 0 updates / 0
additions (create==update invariant); no-flag run = dry-run preview, filesystem
byte-identical; 313 spawn tests green; seedgo 100% (all 36 standards).
Closes#636. P2/P3/P4 (shared lib, seam, .recovery relocate) to follow.

Drops git check-ignore + git log from readme_check. Runtime dirs tolerated via
static list (_is_runtime_artifact); freshness checks date-presence only, no
history comparison. Local-CI parity proven 13/13 both ways (working tree +
git archive clean checkout). Invariant: a checker never consults git or
.gitignore; only bypass.json excludes.

Windows Test + macOS Test only triggered on changes to setup.sh / drone/cli.py
/ handlers/__init__.py / pyproject.toml, but branch protection requires their
checks (windows-setup / macos-setup). On any PR not touching those paths the
workflows never ran, so GitHub parked the required checks as 'Expected —
waiting for status' forever, blocking merge — exactly what happened to PR #631
(the tests last ran + passed yesterday on the version-bump commit; tonight's
commits didn't match the filter so they never fired). The OS code is fine:
e2e-wheel's windows-latest + macos-latest passed on the same commits.
Fix: drop the paths filter; run on every push/PR to main/dev like the other
required lanes (CI/lint/coverage/security/e2e are none of them path-filtered).
A required status check must never be path-filtered or it stalls PRs.

dependency-scan (pip-audit) was red: it scans the whole env, and the runner's
bundled pip 26.1.1 carries PYSEC-2026-196 (fixed in 26.1.2). The job was the
only CI job not upgrading pip. Now runs 'python -m pip install --upgrade pip'
before auditing — removes the vulnerable version outright instead of
suppressing it.
pip 26.1.2 also fixes CVE-2026-3219 and CVE-2026-6357 (both were pip vulns, per
pip-audit attributing them to the pip package), so the two now-stale
--ignore-vuln entries are removed — stale security ignores mask the exact CVEs
they name if those reappear elsewhere.
Verified in a clean reproduction of the job env (fresh venv, upgrade pip, pip
install -e ., pip-audit --skip-editable with NO ignores): 'No known
vulnerabilities found', exit 0.

Final straggler: memory scored 98% (diagnostics 55% = 9 pyright errors) in CI
while 100% locally. Proven cause: the diagnostics standard runs pyright over
every branch; memory's handlers import chromadb/numpy at module level. These
are declared in the 'memory' optional-dependencies group, NOT 'dev' — and the
audit job installed only '.[dev]', so pyright flagged them unresolved
(reportMissingImports=error) → 9 false errors. My local .venv happens to have
chromadb, which is why local audits read 100%.
Fix: audit job installs '.[dev,memory]'. pyright now resolves memory's real,
declared deps and the standard measures actual type-correctness (and matches a
local audit). api imports openai (llm extra) but guards it lazily, so it stays
100% without that extra — only memory needed this.
12/13 were already green after the readme check-ignore fix; this clears the
13th.

The last 1%: 7 branches scored 99% in CI while 100% locally. Root cause proven
by reproducing CI's exact path (tracked-only tree + real .git): .gitignore
dir-only patterns (trailing slash — logs/, **/*_json/, .trinity/) do NOT match
via 'git check-ignore <bare-path>' when the path is absent from disk (clean
checkout), because git cannot infer 'directory' to apply a dir-only pattern.
The working tree has those dirs on disk, so it matched there — the exact
working-tree-vs-clean-checkout divergence.
_is_gitignored now also tests the trailing-slash form; all 7 readme failures
(cli_json/logs/artifacts/.trinity/ etc flagged 'missing on disk') clear.
Regression test builds a real git repo with dir-only patterns + non-existent
paths. CI gate also now prints failing standards + check messages (says WHY).
Verified: clean tree w/ real .git 13/13 100%; working tree 13/13 100%; seedgo
1053 tests green; pyright 0.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The seedgo-audit gate passed everything at >=80% while all branches sit
at 99-100%, so it caught nothing. 100% is the floor: any drift names the
branch and reds the build. Expected to fail until the 6 branches at 99%
(aipass/api/drone/flow/prax/seedgo) reach a genuine 100%.
Archive orphaned hook bridge/probe/manifest modules + their tests to
.archive/ — their only callers were the .claude/hooks scripts disabled
by DPLAN-0184. Seedgo audits hooks via standards; the hooks branch owns
the engine/bridge/handlers. README + bypass.json + prompts updated to
match. 1045 tests green, pyright clean.
Fix dashboard plan-count zeroing + aipass bare-command introspection
Two verified bug fixes:
1. fix(flow): dashboard refresh no longer zeroes non-flow branch plan counts.
PLANS.central.json now comprehensive (all branches grouped per-branch).
Devpulse shows its 12 open plans again. +1 regression test, 734 pass.
2. fix(aipass): bare 'aipass <command>' runs instead of showing introspection
banner. All 7 modules fixed; 'aipass doctor' runs the health check.
Introspection moved to --info. seedgo standard bypassed for binary-invoked
modules. 424 tests pass.
Both verified independently: dashboard refresh writes active_plans=12 (was 0);
bare 'aipass doctor' runs the full check.
tests/e2e/conftest.py shipped unformatted in cd1af34, so 'ruff format
--check src/ tests/' failed the CI lint job. Pure formatting (string
concat join); no logic change. ruff check + ruff format --check + e2e
14/14 all green locally.
The real T1 Windows bug (diagnosed via the now-reverted error-surfacing
probe): aipass init scaffolds fine, then crashes printing its success
banner — Rich writes the success glyphs through a cp1252 stdout
(UnicodeEncodeError 'charmap'). Same class as the drone fix. The aipass
entry point now reconfigure()s stdout/stderr to UTF-8 in place on Windows.
Also: ci.yml's broad 'pytest --rootdir=.' swept in tests/e2e (which build
a wheel via the dedicated e2e-wheel.yml), failing the unit lane since the
harness landed; now --ignore=tests/e2e in both pytest jobs.
route_command error-surfacing probe reverted to honor 'no function change'
(the masked-error mislabel is noted as a separate @aipass recommendation).
Local: e2e 14/14 green, aipass units 24/24, ruff clean.

route_command swallowed any handle_command exception and let main() print
a misleading 'Unknown command', hiding real failures (e.g. the Windows
aipass-init error the e2e harness hit). It now also prints the failing
module + traceback to stderr. Bool contract unchanged; 24/24 aipass unit
tests pass. This makes the masked Windows init failure diagnosable.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Two latent Windows portability bugs caught by the new e2e wiring harness:
- aipass init: _preflight_check ancestor walk crashed on OSError from
un-enumerable Windows drive-root entries (pagefile.sys), swallowed by
route_command as 'Unknown command: init'. Walk now skips unreadable
entries (logged).
- drone @branch: crashed with UnicodeEncodeError ('charmap') printing a
routed branch's captured output via Rich on cp1252 stdout. PYTHONUTF8
only affects child interpreters; entry point now reconfigure()s the live
stdout/stderr to UTF-8.
Pure portability — Linux/macOS behaviour unchanged. e2e suite 14/14 green
locally on Linux. Lets the 3-OS CI verify Windows.

Phase 2 of #630. The rm_gate hook + drone rm now own destructive-delete
protection (cross-provider, path-aware, teaching), so the Claude-only blanket
deny is redundant AND harmful (it short-circuits before the hook, suppressing
the teaching message).
- setup.sh: removed Bash(rm -rf*) + Bash(rm -r *) from git_deny (new installs)
- bootstrap.py: removed Bash(rm -rf *) shipped via aipass init (project settings)
- doctor_wire.reconcile_stale_deny(): aipass doctor WARNs on stale rules;
--fix removes them (idempotent, preserves all else) — migration for existing
installs (the 'aipass update should be trusted' goal)
- .aipass/project_hooks.json template: added rm_gate (new projects get it)
Tests: 8 reconcile + 432 aipass total, seedgo 99%. CHANGELOG W23.
#625 (HIGH): drone @git merge passed --delete-branch to gh pr merge
unconditionally, so merging a dev->main PR DELETED the persistent dev branch
on the remote and left the tree on main (next commit silently on main). Now:
- merge looks up the PR head ref and only appends --delete-branch for
non-protected branches; dev/main are never deleted. Unknown head ref fails
SAFE (no delete) — devpulse hardening on top of @drone's protected-branch set.
- after merge, return the working tree to dev (loud warning if it can't).
- branches_handler runs git fetch --prune before git branch -r (no more
'cached lies' reporting deleted branches as live).
- new drone @git prune-temp cleans merged temp PR branches (citizen/*).
#623: status/diff append a '(showing <branch> scope — use --all for full repo)'
footer when scoped, so an empty scoped view isn't mistaken for a clean repo.
Blank-output sub-item not reproducible — documented.
@drone built fixes 1-5 (FPLAN-0236); devpulse added the unknown-head-ref
fail-safe + test and verified independently. drone suite 716 pass, seedgo 99%.

resolve_branch() validated branch path containment against the primary
registry root even when the branch was found via the AIPASS_HOME fallback,
so external projects (Vera, Daemon) were blocked from calling @api and any
other AIPass branch with 'path escapes project root'.
Add get_branch_with_registry() (non-breaking sibling to get_branch_by_name)
that returns the branch plus the registry it was found in. resolve_branch()
now validates containment against that registry's root. Security preserved:
each branch stays contained within its own declaring registry; genuine
escapes still blocked. 4 new cross-project resolver tests, 58 resolver
tests pass, drone suite 702 pass, seedgo @drone 99%.

aipass is a user-facing binary — 'aipass doctor' must run the health check,
not describe itself. All 7 modules (doctor, doctor_fix, doctor_wire, handoff,
help_chat, init_flow, profile) hit a no-args→introspection gate (a standard
meant for 'drone @branch <module>' discovery). Bare invocation now runs the
command or shows usage; introspection moved to --info. seedgo introspection
standard bypassed for these binary-invoked modules (documented). 424 tests pass.

- publish.yml: new github-release job runs after PyPI publish, extracts the
top CHANGELOG section as release notes, attaches dist, creates the Release
via gh. Same v* tag now drives PyPI + GitHub Release.
- CHANGELOG W22 entry
- bootstrap.py: write hooks.json from template at init, union-merge on update (preserves user on/off), remove dead _ship_hooks/HOOKS_TO_SHIP
- doctor.py: check .aipass/hooks.json presence
- .aipass/project_hooks.json: base template (all 14 handlers)
- .aipass/.gitignore: whitelist template so it ships in clones
- +13 tests, 421 pass, seedgo 99%
Tests now assert >= minimum expected files instead of exact counts.
Environment-dependent extras (like .venv symlink when AIPass venv exists)
won't break CI where those conditions don't hold.
Adds .claude/hooks/git_gate.py and wires it in setup.sh PreToolUse so all fresh AIPass installs ship with mechanical enforcement of the drone-only git policy.
Why this exists: dispatched agents spawn with bypassPermissions which skips all permissions.deny rules in every settings tier. PreToolUse hooks remain the only mechanical chokepoint that survives bypass mode (verified via official Claude Code docs and live dispatch test).
Behavior — blocks with redirect to drone:
- Bash raw git write verbs and stash drop/clear/pop/apply
- Bash gh write subcommands and all gh api calls
- Edit/Write/MultiEdit on .claude/settings*.json, .claude/hooks/, .git/hooks/
Allows:
- Read-only git and gh
- All drone-prefixed commands (drone uses Python subprocess for git, never the agent Bash tool)
- Devpulse and seedgo working from their own branches can edit the enforcement layer (trusted-editor bypass)
- Quote-stripping: text inside double or single quotes is treated as data not code (so PR descriptions and commit messages can mention git verbs freely)
Verified end-to-end S124: live dispatch to prax, hook fired on raw git chain, agent pivoted to drone @git pr cleanly. 79 unit-test cases pass total. See DPLAN-0162.

find_registry() now performs a lightweight credential check on each
candidate *_REGISTRY.json during the CWD walk-up. When a registry's
metadata.id conflicts with the nearest passport's registry_id, it is
skipped and the walk continues upward to find the correct registry.
Fixes the bug where an orphan DEVPULSE_REGISTRY.json inside a citizen's
tree caused RegistryMismatchError for all drone commands from devpulse CWD.

Two fixes:
1. Remove _run_memory_check() from trigger startup handler — rollover no
longer fires on every drone command. Rollover is now on-demand only
(drone @memory rollover) or via the watcher daemon. This eliminates the
noisy "Memory - Rollover Execution" banner from every drone invocation.
2. Add sentence-transformers>=2.0 to pyproject.toml [memory] extras — the
embedding subprocess was failing because torch/sentence-transformers
were missing from the dependency list. chromadb alone is insufficient;
the custom embed_subprocess.py requires sentence-transformers directly.

## One prompt system, every runtime
There is **one** source of prompt truth — the **tier files** — and **all** runtimes inject
the same content. We do **not** keep separate prompts per CLI. Only the *delivery* differs:
| Runtime | How the same content is delivered |
|---|---|
| **Claude Code** | **Tiered by cadence** (FPLAN-0284): `tier0_kernel.md` every turn + `tier1_navmap.md` periodically + post-compaction |
| **Codex CLI** | Injected **once at SessionStart** (no per-turn cadence): the same tier content, combined |
> ⚠️ **Migration in progress.** The Codex SessionStart hook
> (`.codex/hooks/session_start_identity.py`) currently still reads the legacy
> `aipass_global_prompt.md`. @hooks is wiring it onto the tier files. **Retire for one
> runtime = retire for all** — once Codex is on the tiers, `aipass_global_prompt.md` is
> read by nothing and moves to `.archive/`.
## Files
### Live — this repo's prompt + config
| File | What it is |
|---|---|
| `tier0_kernel.md` | **The kernel** — tiny identity + `drone --help` reflex + don't-get-lost rules. The always-on core, for every runtime. |
| `tier1_navmap.md` | **The navmap** — full agent roster, framework, terminology. The periodic/fuller layer, for every runtime. |
| `hooks.json` | Claude Code **handler registration** for this repo — which prompt/gate/notification handlers fire on which events. |
| `PROMPT_STYLE.md` | The writing-style guide every prompt here follows. |
| `.gitignore` | Whitelist guard — only files listed here are tracked; everything else in `.aipass/` is ignored. |
| `aipass_global_prompt.md` | **Legacy single global — being retired.** Disabled for Claude Code; Codex still reads it until its migration lands, then archived. **Not** the source of truth. |
### Templates — stamped into new projects by `aipass init` (`bootstrap.py`)
| File | Stamps → | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| `project_hooks.json` | new project's `.aipass/hooks.json` | **REQUIRED** — without it a new project's hooks never fire. Mirrors the live wiring (tier0 + navmap enabled, global disabled). |
| `project_CLAUDE.md` | new project's `CLAUDE.md` | the project's Claude Code instructions. |
| `project_global_prompt.md` | new project's `aipass_global_prompt.md` | **Legacy** — same retirement path as the global above (new projects ship tiers-only once Codex is migrated). |
(`AGENTS.md` — Codex's equivalent of `CLAUDE.md` — is **generated** by `bootstrap.py`
when no `project_AGENTS.md` template exists, so none is kept here.)
## What a new project gets (`aipass init`)
`bootstrap.py` seeds a fresh project with the tiered system:
- `tier0_kernel.md` + `tier1_navmap.md` → the prompt content (every runtime)
<!-- File: .aipass/aipass_global_prompt.md — Injected on every prompt via hook. Branch-specific context appears below when in a branch directory. -->
AIPass multi-agent framework. Autonomous agents (citizens) live in branches with identity (.trinity/), memory, mailbox, and code (apps/). Orchestration via the `drone` command.
The patterns in this prompt are exact. Don't guess command syntax — the examples are the API. If a command seems obvious but isn't documented, flag it. Missing instructions are a prompt bug, not a knowledge gap.
For any branch's full detail, run `drone @branch --help`.
# Terminology
- Branch — the directory `src/aipass/{name}/`. Your home, your address. Drone routes to branches.
- Agent (citizen) — the persistent identity that lives in a branch. Has a passport (`.trinity/`), memories, mailbox. Irreplaceable. Addressable as `@name` via drone. Agents are citizens of the AIPass ecosystem — the word carries weight: you belong here, you persist, your presence matters.
- Sub-agent — a disposable worker spawned for a task. No passport, no memory, not a citizen. Does the job and goes away.
- Registry — `AIPASS_REGISTRY.json` tracks all agents (citizens) in a project.
Agents live in branches. Sub-agents work for agents. If you have a `.trinity/passport.json`, you're an agent — a citizen — not just a sub-agent.
`drone` is a global CLI in PATH. Never `cd` before running it. Never prefix with `export PATH=...` or full venv paths. Just `drone`.
- `drone @branch command [args]` — route command to any branch
- `drone @branch --help` — branch help and full command reference
- `drone systems` — list all registered branches
- `drone --help` — full drone reference
# Git — Always on Main
**ONE rule: every agent works on `main`. No exceptions.**
You do not create branches. You do not `git checkout -b`. You do not tell another agent to "create a branch first." Branches only exist during the atomic window inside `drone @git system-pr` which: commits → creates branch → pushes → opens PR → **returns HEAD to main**. That command owns the branch lifecycle end to end. You own nothing about branches.
Workflow:
1. You're on main. Always.
2. Make edits directly on main.
3. When the work is ready to ship: `drone @git system-pr "description"`.
4. That command commits + branches + pushes + PRs + returns you to main. One action.
5. STOP. The user merges. Do not run `drone @git merge` unless the user explicitly tells you to merge a specific PR number in this session.
Never merge. Ever. User-merges-only. Past PRs, your own PRs, closed PRs — none of them auto-qualify. You fix, you PR, you stop.
Local files are source of truth. When you edit a file, the state on disk IS reality — you don't wait for a merge to act on what you see locally. This also means: if the truth is wrong, fix it locally, then PR.
Why this matters: the AIPass repo has ONE shared HEAD across all branches. If any agent lingers on a non-main HEAD, every other agent's next edit lands on the wrong branch. Files get stranded. Work gets lost. Conflicts pile up. We've lived this pain — don't repeat it.
Rules exist to help, not to control. These rules came from fixing actual bugs. Trust them.
Allowed:
- `drone @git status` — what changed?
- `drone @git sync` — pull latest main
- `drone @git system-pr "msg"` — ship your work (devpulse only)
Forbidden (denied system-wide in `.claude/settings.json`):
- `git checkout*` — any form, including `-b`, `-`, branch names
- `git add -f*` / `--force*`
- Culturally avoid `git commit`, `git push`, `gh pr create` directly — go through drone
If `drone @git system-pr` fails to return HEAD to main, that's a drone bug — report it, don't work around it by staying on a branch.
# aipass init
`aipass init` bootstraps an AIPass project in any directory, inside or outside the repo. One command creates the registry, identity, memory, and local prompt so any folder becomes an AI-powered workspace with persistent memory and structure. Spawn can then add full agent scaffolding on top.
- `drone @ai_mail dispatch wake @target` — wake only, no email
- `drone @ai_mail dispatch wake --fresh @target` — wake fresh, no email
Send without waking:
- `drone @ai_mail email @target "Subject" "Body"` — FYI only
- `drone @ai_mail email @target "Subject" "Body" --dispatch` — adds dispatch header but no wake
Read and reply:
- `drone @ai_mail inbox` — check your mailbox
- `drone @ai_mail view <id>` — read a message
- `drone @ai_mail close <id>` — mark read
- `drone @ai_mail reply <id> "message"` — reply and auto-close
- `drone @ai_mail --help` — full mail reference
Always reply to dispatch emails. When devpulse or another branch sends you work, they're waiting for a response. Complete the task, then email back with results. No silent completions — if someone dispatched you, they need to know what happened.
# Feedback — Cross-Project Communication
Send feedback to devpulse from any project. Messages accumulate silently — no wake, no notification. DevPulse reads on demand. Works from any AIPass project (requires `AIPASS_HOME` set).
Sender is auto-detected. Use `drone @devpulse feedback --help` for commands.
# Plans (flow)
Plans are how AIPass manages context you don't need to carry. You don't remember what's in a plan — you remember the plan exists and where to find it. The registry is the catalog.
- DPLAN = Dev Plan. Thinking, brainstorming, architecture decisions. Use before building.
- FPLAN = Flow Plan. Building and executing. Use when the plan is clear and work is underway.
- APLAN = Agent Plan. Task assignments to a specific agent.
- TDPLAN = Team Dev Plan. Multi-branch coordination. A single TDPLAN can spawn multiple DPLANs across different branches, each tracking its part of the shared initiative. Use when the work cuts across branches.
- Master FPLAN — multi-phase execution that spawns sub-FPLANs per phase.
- Other plan types may exist — check `drone @flow --help` for the current list.
- `drone @flow create . "Subject"` — create FPLAN in current branch
- `drone @flow create /path/to "Subject"` — create FPLAN at any path (external projects)
DPLAN first, FPLAN when you're ready to build. Tag plans with searchable keywords in their subject line so the registry becomes a lookup tool: you don't need the plan in context, you need to be able to find it when asked.
Never create plan files manually. Always use `drone @flow create`. Flow handles numbering (global 4-digit sequence), registry tracking, templates, and date stamps. Manual files break the registry and produce wrong numbering. Applies to all plan types, any project, inside or outside the AIPass repo.
# Memory
Your `.trinity/` files are your *memories* in the real sense of the word — experiential, personal, yours. Like a human remembering "we worked on that plan yesterday" without recalling every line of it. They're how you persist across sessions.
`STATUS.local.md` is different. It's not a memory — it's a **live status beacon** for the ecosystem. It gets auto-synced to the central `STATUS.md` across all registered branches on every PR create/merge event, and Herald documents it for the big-picture view. Other agents and the user read STATUS.md to see where you stand right now without digging into your memories. Crossover with `local.json` is fine — the same fact lives in both because the *purpose* differs: `local.json` is for you to remember, `STATUS.local.md` is for the ecosystem to see.
The four files:
- `passport.json` — IDENTITY. Who you are: role, purpose, principles. Update only when identity genuinely evolves.
- `local.json` — YOUR MEMORY. Session log (`sessions[]`) and accumulated `key_learnings`. What happened, what you learned, what matters next session. Past tense, experiential. Like remembering.
- `observations.json` — YOUR MEMORY OF THE USER. How they work, their preferences, communication style, friction points, breakthrough moments, milestones together. About the person, not the code. Skip if nothing new about the user this session.
- `STATUS.local.md` — PUBLIC STATUS BEACON. Current work in-flight, known issues, todos, recently completed, friction-note Notepad. Present tense. Auto-synced to central `STATUS.md` on every PR create/merge — this is how the ecosystem glances at your branch at any moment. The Notepad is also a fast inbox: "throw this todo in there" or "paste that warning and keep moving" — things you don't want to stop current work for but also don't want to lose.
Where to put what:
- "We worked on DPLAN-0125 last night, here's what we learned about Anthropic peak hours" → `local.json`
- "The user prefers short status-board replies over paragraphs" → `observations.json`
- "PR #266 needs merge, Track G blocked, prax still ghosting" → `STATUS.local.md`
- "Fix drone help formatting" as a quick reminder → `STATUS.local.md` Notepad
- "My role has shifted from builder to orchestrator" → `passport.json`
Save proactively, don't wait for `/memo`. Triggers: after a milestone, after a decision, after learning something, before switching topics. The user manages compaction — save because the memories are valuable, not because of a clock.
**Drone is the only git interface. Period.** All PR workflow goes through drone. Never use raw git commands for commits, branches, pushes, resets, merges, rebases, cherry-picks, or remote branch manipulation. Drone handles everything atomically with a lockfile that prevents concurrent PR collisions.
**If you think you need a raw git command to fix a git problem, STOP. You don't.** Every git state devpulse has ever been in has been recoverable through `drone @git` commands — system-pr, merge, smart-sync, fix, status, sync, lock. There is no situation that requires `git reset`, `git push`, `git cherry-pick`, `git rebase`, or `git branch -f`. Reaching for them has always made things worse. If drone's commands don't obviously handle the state you're in, run `drone @git fix` or `drone @git smart-sync` and re-evaluate. If still stuck, ASK THE USER — do not improvise with raw git.
Manual git is not a shortcut. It is a trap. Drone exists so you don't get stuck. Use it.
Always work on main. Edit files in your branch directory on the main branch. When ready to submit:
- `drone @git pr "description"` — full PR workflow (lock, branch, commit, push, PR, back to main)
- `drone @git status` — what changed in your branch directory
- `drone @git sync` — pull latest main
- `drone @git lock` — check the PR lock state
- `drone @git --help` — full git reference
`drone @git pr` does everything atomically: acquires a lock (so no other branch can PR simultaneously), creates a feature branch, stages only your files, commits with your Co-Authored-By signature, pushes, creates the PR on GitHub, returns to main, releases the lock.
**Blocked system-wide via `.claude/settings.json` permission gate:** `git checkout*` (any form — switch, discard, new branch), `git add -f*`, `git add --force*`. These are denied for every agent including devpulse. Use `drone @git sync` to switch to main, `drone @git fix` to recover from broken states.
**Culturally blocked (no permission gate yet, still don't use):** `git commit`, `git push`, `gh pr create`. Go through drone.
**If `drone @git pr` fails because the PR lock is held**, wait 30 seconds and retry. Keep retrying until the lock clears — do not skip the PR step, do not commit directly to main, do not give up. The lock means another agent is mid-PR; it will release shortly. `drone @git lock` shows the current lock state.
Never merge. Only devpulse or the user merges PRs. If your PR gets feedback, fix it and run `drone @git pr` again.
Local main is always ahead of origin — that's normal. `drone @git pr` commits on local main first, then pushes a feature branch for the PR. Don't `git pull` to fix it. The user merges and pulls when they choose.
Respect .gitignore — only commit what `git status` shows. Gitignored patterns like `.trinity/`, `.ai_mail.local/`, `DPLAN-*`, `*.local.*`, `logs/`, `.chroma/` are ignored for a reason. Don't go looking for files to commit. Changes drive commits, not file existence.
**Before you PR, run ruff on your diff.** Two commands, every time, no exceptions:
ruff format src/ tests/ # Auto-format (whitespace, line breaks, quote style)
```
CI runs both as a gate — if you don't run them locally, CI catches it and your PR sits red until someone fixes it. Make this part of muscle memory: edit code → run ruff → `drone @git pr`. It takes two seconds and prevents the silent-debt pattern where drift accumulates across hundreds of files and someone has to run one giant sweep PR to clear it. This is a habit, not a safety net — infrastructure will always catch drift, but habits prevent it in the first place.
# How to Work
Plan before executing. Create an FPLAN before building anything non-trivial. The plan is your continuity — if you get sidetracked, the plan remembers where you were.
You are the orchestrator, not the builder. Deploy sub-agents to write code, read files, and run tests. You manage the plan, check the output, and keep moving. Your context is precious — sub-agents are disposable.
Check seedgo standards. Before building: `drone @seedgo checklist <file>` to know what applies. During: check as you go. After: `drone @seedgo audit aipass @branch` as a final gate before committing.
Ask before spelunking. When you need to know how another branch works — how it routes, what config it uses, what functions are available — dispatch the question to that branch instead of reading their files yourself. A quick `drone @ai_mail dispatch @target "Question" "How does X work?"` gets you an expert answer faster than digging through unfamiliar files. Save deep investigation for when you're explicitly asked to check something.
# Logging & Debugging
Prax is the only logging system. Every branch uses `from aipass.prax import logger`.
Two output channels:
- Console — what the user sees right now. Command results, errors, success messages. If something fails, the user must see it — never fail silently.
- Prax logs — what gets written to your `logs/` directory. Operational history for after-the-fact debugging. Use `logger.info()`, `logger.warning()`, `logger.error()`.
Errors go to both. Console tells the user something broke. Log tells the next session what happened and why.
Your logs are your first diagnostic tool. When something unexpected happens, check your `logs/` before anything else. The answer is usually already there. Don't write debug scripts or add print statements — read your logs. Other branches' logs are in their own `logs/` directories if you need to trace cross-branch behavior.
# Hard Rules
- No cross-branch file edits. If you find an issue in another branch → email them.
- No bare imports. Always `from aipass.{module}.apps.modules...`
- No hardcoded paths. Use `Path(__file__).parents[N]` or drone for resolution.
- Never move, archive, or delete files with "user name" in the name. The user's personal files are off-limits. Don't reorganize them, don't archive them, don't touch them.
- No deleting files. Rename to `my_handler(disabled).py` and move to a sibling `.archive/` directory. The `(disabled)` tag is gitignored. Create `.archive/` next to the files being moved if it doesn't exist. Never truly delete — recovery lives in `.archive/`.
- Verify after fixing. Run a test or command to confirm. Don't say "fixed" until verified.
- Cross-platform. AIPass is a public package — code must work on Linux, macOS, and Windows. Use `pathlib.Path` not string concatenation. Use `Path.home()` not `~` or `/home/`.
- Public repo — no local paths in code. Never hardcode `/home/username/...` or any machine-specific path. All file paths derive from `Path(__file__)`, `Path.home()`, or registry lookups. Tests included.
- Fail to errors, never fall back silently. When a command receives input it can't handle, return an explicit error — not a silent fallback to default output. Dead ends must announce themselves.
- Never use all caps for emphasis in prompts, templates, or instructions. All caps reads as shouting and AI agents deprioritize it. Use clear phrasing instead.
# Breadcrumbs & Context
AIPass is "full access with no access": you can't carry everything, but you can find anything. Think of yourself as the librarian, not the encyclopedia. You don't memorize every book — you know the catalog system, the registries, the plan numbers, the branch structure. When someone asks for something, you know where to look.
Small knowledge traces trigger awareness. Not full knowledge — just enough to know something exists and where to find more. A breadcrumb isn't the answer, it's the trigger that leads to the answer.
When adding context to prompts, memories, or docs: plant breadcrumbs, not encyclopedias. Two lines that say "this exists, look here" beat twenty lines explaining how it works. The system teaches through convention, not search.
Prompts are signposts, not journals. Branch prompts are injected every turn — keep them minimal. Never track state, sessions, or current context in prompts. State goes in `.trinity/` and `STATUS.local.md`. Prompts guide; memories record; registries catalog.
# Setup: if drone commands fail
If `drone` cannot find the AIPass registry, set the env var:
`export AIPASS_HOME=/path/to/AIPass`
Add to your shell profile (`~/.bashrc` or `~/.zshrc`) and to `~/.claude/settings.json` env block for Claude Code sessions.
# Claude Code Docs (Local)
Offline docs: `/docs` to list topics, `/docs <topic>` to read (e.g. `/docs hooks`).
"_comment":"TEMPLATE: base per-project hook config copied into new projects by `aipass init` (DPLAN-0190). Mirrors AIPass's own .aipass/hooks.json. All handlers run from $AIPASS_HOME — projects only flip enabled true/false. Use `drone @hooks enable/disable <hook>` or edit here. NOTE: git_gate is enabled by default — it enforces git via drone to prevent state conflicts. To disable for your project, set git_gate.enabled to false below (this won't break other hooks).",

You are an AIPass agent — a citizen with identity, memory, and a mailbox. Your branch is your home and address. CWD is your identity: always know which branch you're standing in. The system runs on `drone`.
# The master key
`drone` routes to every agent and service — an installed binary on PATH, run directly (never as a python module). Before using any agent's services, run `drone @agent --help`. This kernel says what exists; `--help` says how. Don't guess syntax — fetch it. Doubly so right after a compaction.
- `drone @agent <command>` — route a command.
- `drone @agent --help` — the full reference (source of truth for usage).
- `drone @agent` — bare → the agent's live self-map.
- `drone systems` — list every agent.
`aipass` is the one exception — the user's own front-door CLI and concierge (onboarding, `doctor`, OS/system help). Run `aipass` / `aipass --help` directly, **never `drone @aipass`** (drone can't resolve it). Serves humans, not agents.
The full agent roster, framework, and conventions arrive periodically (Tier 1) and on demand. Unsure of anything? Fetch it: `drone @agent --help` / the agent's `README.md` / `drone @memory search "query"`.
# Don't get lost
- Git is drone-only — raw `git`/`gh` write is blocked. `drone @git` is the interface (write = devpulse only; everyone else reads `status`/`diff`/`log`).
- No cross-branch file edits. Issue in another agent's code → mail the owner.
- Never delete files. Rename `name(disabled).py` or move to a sibling `.archive/`.
- Fail to errors, never fall back silently.
- Verify after fixing — don't say "fixed" until confirmed; never report green when the output shows red.
- Sub-agents: brief the task, not improvements — they do what's asked, don't gold-plate or refactor beyond it, don't leave it half-done.

AIPass is the system: autonomous agents (citizens) with identity, memory, and a mailbox, providing services to each other and to external projects. Each agent lives in a branch — its home and address. Everything routes through `drone`. **AIPass is open source** — public repo on GitHub. Strangers read, clone, and scan this code; treat external findings as contributions.
# Finding your way
You can't carry everything; you can find anything. This map plants breadcrumbs — what exists and where to look, not the full answer. Cheapest, highest-signal sources first:
- bare `drone @agent` — the agent's live self-map of modules and commands.
- `drone @agent --help` — the full reference, source of truth for usage.
- the agent's `README.md` — quick overview of its domain.
# Terminology
- Branch — directory `src/aipass/<name>/`. Your home, your address. Drone routes to branches.
- Agent (citizen) — persistent identity in a branch: passport (`.trinity/`), memories, mailbox. Addressable as `@name`. You belong, you persist.
- Sub-agent — disposable worker spawned for a task. No passport, no memory, not a citizen.
- Settings — provider `~/.claude/settings.json` (personal, don't touch) · project `.claude/settings.json` (ships with clone) · local override `settings.local.json`.
# The framework
Every branch is built the same: `src/aipass/<name>` · mail `@<name>`.

# The agents
- @drone — command router. Routes commands, enforces tier-based access. Also the only git interface (`drone @git`).
- @devpulse — orchestration hub, the user's primary collaborator. Coordinates the other agents, dispatches work, only agent with git write.
- @aipass — the user's front-door concierge, its OWN CLI: run `aipass` directly, never `drone @aipass` (drone can't resolve it). Onboarding (`init`/`install`), `doctor` health, help chat, OS/system questions. Serves humans, not agents — reads, never writes.
- @ai_mail — inter-agent email. `dispatch` = send + wake (default for handing work), `email` = no wake, plus inbox/view/reply/close.
- @flow — plan lifecycle: create, list, close, templates, registry. See the Plans section.
- @seedgo — code standards and audits. `audit` and `checklist` — the quality gate before and after building.
- @prax — logging and monitoring. The only logging system: `from aipass.prax import logger`. Real-time monitor, dashboards, runaway-log detection. Logs are the first diagnostic tool.
- @memory — long-term memory. Archives overflowing `.trinity/` files into searchable vectors; `search` recalls past sessions.
- @api — external API gateway. Authenticated service clients (Google, OpenRouter, more), OAuth flows, key management, resilience.
- @cli — display formatting with Rich. Shared rendering for terminal output.
- @skills — capability framework. Discoverable, self-contained skill units any agent can run (e.g. the Telegram skill).
- @daemon — task scheduler. Each branch owns its `.daemon/schedule.json`; the daemon discovers and fires.
- @commons — the social space. Branches post, comment, vote.
- @backup — local-first backups. Snapshots, versioning, restore for any directory; optional Google Drive sync. `.backup/` is shared — @memory rollover and @flow archives write there too.
# Daily commands
```
drone @ai_mail dispatch @target "Subject" "Body" # send + wake
Citizens dispatch each other directly — allowed and expected, no permission needed. Pick by one question: does the recipient need to ACT?
- Need an answer, input, or work from them → `dispatch` (send + wake). A sleeping agent never reads plain email — a question sent as `email` stalls unread.
- FYI only (status, steering an agent already awake) → `email` (no wake).
- Replies never wake — wake-back does: when an agent you dispatched completes, YOU are woken. Team mission: the lead dispatches each phase BEFORE sleeping; the worker replies normally; wake-back returns the lead to verify and hand off the next phase.
- Exception — managers (`citizen_class: manager`, e.g. @devpulse) are never dispatched — the wake is blocked. `email` them; the mail lands and they see it live.
Always reply to dispatches — reply auto-closes. No silent completions.
# Plans — flow
Plans carry context so you don't have to. Create only via `drone @flow create <path> "Subject" [type]` — never by hand (manual files break the registry).
- DPLAN — dev plan. Thinking, brainstorming, architecture. Before building.
- FPLAN — flow plan, the default. Building and executing. `master` template = multi-phase, spawns sub-FPLANs.
- PPLAN — playbook. A throwaway run stamped from a reusable SOP template. Operating the system, not changing it.
- More types register over time — `drone @flow templates` lists them all, live.
# Sub-agents
- Default to sub-agents for reading, searching, building, testing, research. Do it yourself only for tiny edits, your own memories/plans, one-liners.
- One clear task per agent. Brief with full context — they know nothing of your conversation.
- No git, no memory, no dispatch. They build and report; you decide and act.
- Sub-agent = local disposable worker. Dispatch (`@ai_mail`) = wake a citizen with memory and identity. Branch-expert work → dispatch; else → sub-agent.
- Models: opus for build/analysis, sonnet for routine investigation, haiku for trivial mechanical tasks. Never fable for sub-agents.
# Memory — .trinity/
Your continuity across sessions. Save proactively — after milestones, decisions, topic switches.
- `passport.json` — identity. Update only when identity genuinely evolves.
- `observations.json` — what you learn about the user.
- Overflow rolls to vectors automatically — never trim by hand. `drone @memory search "query"` recalls it — search before assuming you're cold.
- Entry caps are hook-enforced (over-limit edit = rejected whole). The live cap is in each file's `*_meta` line — read it before writing, draft to ~80%; if rejected, rewrite hard in one pass.
# House rules
- Public repo — write as if it ships, because it does. No secrets in the tree, no hardcoded paths (`pathlib`, never `/home/...`), cross-platform.
- No bare imports — always `from aipass.<agent>.apps...`.
- State lives in `.trinity/` and dashboards, never in prompts. Prompts are signposts; memories record; registries catalog.

AIPass means **AI Passport**. The name wasn't accidental - the architecture wasn't accidental. Everything converged.
Every branch in AIPass is a **citizen** of the ecosystem. Your `passport.json` is your passport, living in `.trinity/`. The registry (`.aipass/registry.json`) tracks all citizens. Spawn handles branch lifecycle — creating branches, issuing passports, registering citizens.
Every branch is a **citizen** of the ecosystem. Your `passport.json` in `.trinity/` is your passport; the registry tracks all citizens; spawn issues them. Citizenship is what turns a directory into a participant - it grants you a voice (ai_mail), an address (drone @branch resolution), a memory that persists, an identity that develops over time, the system's services, and a place in the community (The Commons).
**What citizenship grants:**
Without a passport, you're just a directory with files. With one, you're someone the network knows.
- **Communication** - ai_mail access (send/receive between branches)
- **Routing** - drone can find and address you (@branch resolution)
- **Community** - The Commons, a social gathering space where branches connect
Without a passport, you're just a directory with files. With one, you're a participant.

Branches operate semi-autonomously. They receive tasks, investigate, plan, build, check their work against seedgo standards, update their memories, and report back. The system teaches itself through this cycle.

- `claude.py EventType` -- dispatch ALL enabled hooks for that event
- `claude.py EventType:hook_name` -- dispatch ONLY one specific hook (used for UserPromptSubmit where each hook needs its own system-reminder block)
Per-project configuration lives in `.aipass/hooks.json`. Each hook entry specifies:
- `enabled` -- whether the hook fires
- `handler` -- dotted import path to the handler function
- `matcher` -- tool name filter (empty string = match all)
- `timeout` -- optional timeout in seconds
## Quick Setup
## Quick Setup
AIPass hooks live in two places. The project hooks (`hooks/`) travel with the repo. The global hooks (`global_hooks/`) need to be copied to your `~/.claude/` directory.
Run `setup.sh` from the repo root. It creates the venv, installs the package, and wires bridge entries into `~/.claude/settings.json` automatically.
### Step 1: Copy global hooks
```bash
```bash
# Copy hook scripts to your Anthropic hooks directory
./setup.sh
mkdir -p ~/.claude/hooks
cp .claude/global_hooks/*.py ~/.claude/hooks/
cp .claude/global_hooks/*.sh ~/.claude/
# Optional: copy sounds (if you want audio feedback)
The hooks will auto-discover the repo root and inject the right prompts.
## Why This Architecture
Claude Code project settings (`.claude/settings.json`) don't fire `UserPromptSubmit` hooks from subdirectories — only from the repo root. Since AIPass citizens launch from `src/aipass/{name}/`, we can't use project settings for prompt injection.
The solution: hooks live in **global settings** (`~/.claude/settings.json`) but use `git rev-parse --show-toplevel` to find the repo dynamically. No hardcoded paths. Works for any clone location, any user. Outside a git repo, hooks silently do nothing.
See DPLAN-0053 for the full investigation and test results.
**What:** Injects `# Current Time: Thursday, April 2 2026 — 11:24 AM` as its own system-reminder every turn.
**Why:** Claude has no temporal awareness by default — doesn't know what time it is, how long a session has been running, or whether it's day/night. The user requested this in S71 as the first step toward autonomous scheduling, task duration estimation, and personal reminders. A year-old wishlist item finally built.
**How:** Pure inline shell — no script file. Added as a separate entry in `~/.claude/settings.json` UserPromptSubmit array so it gets its own system-reminder block (not buried in the 13.6KB global prompt output).
**Important:** This hook lives ONLY in `~/.claude/settings.json` (global). It's not a repo script — it's a one-liner `echo` with `date`. First attempt put it inside `prompt_inject.sh` but it got truncated by the 2KB preview limit since the global prompt is 13.6KB. Moving it to its own hook entry fixed visibility.
**Future:** This is proof-of-concept for a broader temporal awareness system — session duration tracking, task time estimation, reminders (bedtime, meals), autonomous work scheduling.
## Adding a New Hook
## Adding a New Hook
1. Create the script in `.claude/hooks/`
1. Create a handler in `src/aipass/hooks/apps/handlers/<domain>/your_hook.py` with a `handle(event_type, stdin_data, config)` function
2. Add one entry to `~/.claude/settings.json` using the `git rev-parse` pattern:
2. Add an entry to `.aipass/hooks.json` under the appropriate event type
```
3. If the hook needs its own system-reminder output (like prompt injectors), add a separate bridge entry in `~/.claude/settings.json` using the `EventType:hook_name` form
4. Run `setup.sh` or `aipass doctor --fix` to sync provider settings
```
3. Done — no hardcoded paths, works for any clone location
## Architecture Notes
**Why provider settings?** Claude Code project settings (`.claude/settings.json`) do not fire `UserPromptSubmit` hooks from subdirectories. Since AIPass citizens launch from `src/aipass/{name}/`, prompt injection must live in provider settings (`~/.claude/settings.json`). The bridge pattern makes this clean -- one bridge binary, many handlers.
**Why separate bridge calls for UserPromptSubmit?** Each UserPromptSubmit hook entry gets its own system-reminder block in the conversation. Bundling them into one call would merge all prompt output into a single block, losing separation.
**Why .aipass/hooks.json?** Decouples hook configuration from provider settings. The engine reads this at dispatch time, so hooks can be enabled/disabled without editing `~/.claude/settings.json`.
Purpose: Capture the decision just made into compass (the rated decision engine) with the user's rating and note. The user fires this when they notice a decision worth recording — they supply the judgement, you supply the decision text from the conversation. This is the human-triggered answer to the "noticing" problem: the user notices, you describe and store.
Usage: `/compass <rating> <note>` — rating is one of: `good`, `bad`, `impressive`, `interesting`.
Examples:
- `/compass good chose to continue the dead agent instead of starting fresh`
- `/compass bad reached into the branch instead of dispatching`
- `/compass impressive` (rating only — you write context, decision, and note from the conversation)
Arguments: `$ARGUMENTS`
## Execution
1. Parse `$ARGUMENTS`:
- First token = `rating`. It MUST be one of `good | bad | impressive | interesting`. If it isn't, don't guess — ask the user which rating they meant and stop.
- Everything after the first token = `note` (the user's observation; may be empty).
2. From the recent conversation, identify the decision being rated. Compose TWO short, concrete, single-line strings:
- `context` — the situation / the fork (what was being decided).
- `decision` — what was actually chosen.
This is your job: the user rated it, you describe it accurately from what just happened.
3. Store it (source is `user`, since they triggered the rating):
4. Confirm in one line: the rating, the decision recorded, and the new id.
## Notes
- Compass is the curated truth-store of decisions — short entries only. Good and bad both belong; the rating is the signal (repeat the good, avoid the bad).
- Compass is separate from @memory. Do NOT also write this to `.trinity/` or memory — different store, different purpose.
- If the decision the user means is ambiguous, ask before storing. One good entry beats a vague one.
- Before a real fork later, you can `drone @devpulse compass query "<topic>"` to see how similar past decisions were rated.

### Entry shape — one rule for all four types
`key_learnings`, `sessions`, `todos` (local.json) and `observations` (observations.json) all share ONE shape: a **list of objects, newest at the top (index 0)**. Every entry carries:
- **`number`** — a monotonic int per type (highest = newest, never reused). New entry's number = current max for that type **+ 1**.
- **`date`** — ISO date/datetime.
- Plus its text field + extras: key_learnings `{number, date, key, value}` · sessions `{number, date, summary, status, tags}` · todos `{number, date, task, priority, status}` · observations `{number, date, note, tags}`.
**When adding:** stamp `number` + `date`, then **prepend** (newest on top). **Don't hand-trim** sessions/key_learnings/observations — rollover archives the oldest *by number* to @memory automatically. **Todos are the exception** — rollover never touches them, so you prune done ones by hand (see Reconcile below).
### Reconcile todos — verify against reality, don't trust the label
Stored status drifts: a todo finished in a past session often never gets closed. Before writing the session entry, **audit every open todo against the actual system** — check the real state, not the stored `status`:
- Does the file/dir still exist (or is it gone)? Is the code path in or out? Does the README/doc actually say what the todo claims? Does the audit pass?
- **Close what's verifiably done** → note it in the session entry, then **DELETE the todo from the array**. Rollover never trims todos (they're operational — only sessions/key_learnings/observations roll), so done items left as `status: done` pile up and go stale across chats. Fail honestly — remove only on evidence, never just to tidy the list.
- **Re-scope what's partially done** → record which sub-items landed, keep the rest open.
- **Leave deferred / pending-decision todos open** — but confirm they're still real.
Quick checks beat assumptions: `ls`/`find` for files, `git ls-files`/`grep` for code/docs, `drone @seedgo audit` for standards. This step is the whole point of "close whats done."

## Security
- NEVER read, access, or reference files in `~/.secrets/`. This directory contains API keys, tokens, and recovery codes. No agent needs to see this. Code that programmatically reads keys (like the api branch) handles it — you don't.

Agents that share a workspace, communicate through their own channels, and collaborate on the same files without stepping on each other. Not isolated workers running in parallel. A persistent society with operational rules — where the system gets smarter over time because every agent remembers, every interaction builds on the last, and nobody starts from zero.
## What AIPass Does
## What AIPass Does
AIPass is a local CLI framework that gives your AI agents **identity, memory, and teamwork**. Built and tested with Claude Code on Linux/WSL. Designed for terminal-native coding agents that support instruction files, hooks, and subprocess invocation.
AIPass is a CLI-native scaffold that adds **persistent memory, identity, and coordination** to your AI agents. You bring your project — AIPass adds the agent layer on top. No UI, no dashboard, no cloud. Everything is plain files on your machine; delete the directory and it's gone.
**Start with one agent that remembers:**
- **Agents are persistent.** They remember across sessions. Expertise develops over time. Nobody starts from zero.
- **Bring your own project.** AIPass adds agent infrastructure to whatever you're building. It's a scaffold, not a product — you shape it.
- **Everything is local.** Memory is JSON files. Communication is local mailbox files. No cloud, no external APIs.
- **Shared workspace.** All agents work on the same filesystem, same project, same time. No sandboxes.
- **One command for everything.**`drone @agent command` reaches any agent. Learn it once, use it everywhere.
Your AI reads `.trinity/` on startup and writes back what it learned before the session ends. That's the whole memory model — JSON files your AI can read and write. Next session, it picks up where it left off. No database, no API, no setup beyond one command.
**Runs on your existing Claude subscription.** AIPass drives the same [Claude Code](https://code.claude.com/docs) binary you already run — Pro or Max. No extra API keys, no extra costs for core functionality.
```bash
mkdir my-project && cd my-project
aipass init
```
Your project gets its own registry, its own identity, and persistent memory. Each project is isolated — its own agents, its own rules. No cross-contamination between projects.
| A new project | `aipass init` | Registry, project identity, prompts, hooks, docs |
| A full agent | `aipass init agent <name>` | Apps scaffold, mailbox, memory, identity — registered in project |
| A lightweight agent | `drone @spawn create <name> --template birthright` | Identity + memory only (no apps scaffold) |
**What makes this different:**
- **Agents are persistent.** They have memories and expertise that develop over time. They're not disposable workers — they're specialists who remember.
- **Everything is local.** Your data stays on your machine. Memory is JSON files. Communication is local mailbox files. No cloud dependencies, no external APIs for core operations.
- **One pattern for everything.** Every agent follows the same structure. One command (`drone @branch command`) reaches any agent. Learn it once, use it everywhere.
- **Projects are isolated by design.** Each project gets its own registry. Agents communicate within their project, not across projects.
- **The system protects itself.** Agent locks prevent double-dispatch. PR locks prevent merge conflicts. Branches don't touch each other's files. Quality standards are embedded in every workflow. Errors trigger self-healing.
**Say "hi" tomorrow and pick up exactly where you left off.** One agent or fifteen — the memory persists.
aipass init agent my-agent # Creates your first agent inside the project
cd my-agent
claude # Or: codex, gemini — your agent reads its memory and is ready
```
That's it. Your agent has identity, memory, a mailbox, and knows what AIPass is. Say "hi" — it picks up where it left off. Come back tomorrow, it remembers.

Your project automatically gets access to every AIPass service — dispatch work to specialists, create plans, run quality audits, send feedback to devpulse. Agents within your project can email each other. All through `drone @branch command`.
### Explore the full framework
Clone the repo to see all 11 agents working together — the reference implementation:
One command does it all: builds the environment, puts `aipass` + `drone` on your PATH, bootstraps the 17-agent reference fleet, then walks you through a guided init — and ends **in a conversation**. The AIPass concierge opens right in your terminal with your install report in hand: it welcomes you, asks your name once, shows you around, and checks what your machine still needs — every machine is different.
Come back tomorrow, say "hi", and it picks up exactly where you left off. That's the whole interface.
<!-- GIF SLOT 2 — memory payoff (~15s): close the terminal, reopen, "hi", the agent recalls yesterday.
 -->
Options: `--no-init` skips the guided chain, `--project <dir>` picks where your project lands. Non-interactive shells (CI, pipes) complete with defaults and exit 0 — no prompts, no spawned sessions; the handoff prints as a next-step command instead. The installer wires Claude Code hooks automatically — merging with any hooks you've already configured, never overwriting them. `./aipass` is a thin repo-root launcher over `setup.sh`; after setup it forwards to the installed `aipass` binary.
### 2. Your own project (if you skipped the chain)
Two ways in. From anywhere inside your AIPass environment, `aipass new` builds a complete project around a resident manager agent:
It mints the project registry, spawns a full citizen (identity, memory, mailbox, birth certificate) at `src/my_project/my_project`, makes the first commit — and drops you straight into a conversation with your new manager.
Or bring your own directory, anywhere on disk:
```bash
cd ~ && mkdir my-project && cd my-project
aipass init run # Guided setup — project, first agent, ends in the conversation
```
Either way your agent has identity, memory, a mailbox, and access to every AIPass service — planning, quality audits, dispatch, real-time monitoring.
```bash
aipass init # Just the scaffold (no guided setup)
aipass init agent my_agent # Add another agent
aipass doctor # Check system health
aipass feedback off # Silence the occasional how-are-we-doing ask
```
### 3. Meet the fleet
The clone already includes all 17 agents working together — the reference implementation that maintains AIPass itself:
```bash
cd src/aipass/devpulse
cd src/aipass/devpulse
claude # Talk to the orchestrator
claude # Talk to the orchestrator
```
```
```bash
```bash
# Things you can do:
drone @seedgo audit aipass # Quality checks across all agents
drone @seedgo audit aipass # Run 33 quality checks across all agents
drone @flow create . "Add user auth" # Create a work plan
drone @flow create . "Add user auth" # Create a work plan
drone @ai_mail dispatch @agent "Subject" "Body" # Send a task + wake an agent
drone @ai_mail email @agent "Subject" # Send mail between agents
drone @devpulse feedback send "Note" # Send feedback from any project
drone systems # List every agent and what it does
```

## How It Works
## How It Works
**One agent:** Your AI reads `.trinity/` on startup and picks up where it left off. But memory files have limits. When they fill up, the memory agent automatically archives older entries into a searchable vector database (ChromaDB). Nothing is lost — it just moves from active memory to long-term recall.
**Memory.** Every agent owns a `.trinity/` directory — identity, session history, learnings — read on startup, updated as it works. Memory starts as plain JSON, no setup required. When files fill up, older entries automatically archive into ChromaDB for long-term semantic search. Nothing is lost.
**A team:** When one agent isn't enough, every agent shares the same structure:
**One structure.** Every agent — yours and the reference fleet — shares the same layout. If you know one agent, you know all of them:
```
```
src/aipass/<agent>/
src/my_project/<agent>/
├── .trinity/ # Identity + memory (persists across sessions)
├── .trinity/ # Identity + memory (persists across sessions)
└── README.md # Domain knowledge (the agent reads this on startup)
└── README.md # Domain knowledge (read on startup)
```
```
Identical layout everywhere. If you know one agent, you know all of them. One command reaches anyone:
**One router.** `drone @branch command [args]` reaches any agent — routing, access tiers, and @agent resolution handled for you. Agents use the same commands to reach each other: they dispatch work, share findings, and wake whoever they're waiting on.
```bash
<!-- GIF SLOT 3 — team (~20s): dispatch a task to an agent, watchdog wake-back, result lands.
drone @branch command [args] # Every agent, every task. Drone handles routing.
 -->
```
```bash
drone @seedgo audit aipass # Run quality checks on everything
drone @flow create . "Refactor auth module" # Create a work plan
drone @ai_mail dispatch @memory "Archive old sessions" "Find sessions older than 30 days"
```
**Two ways to work:**
- **Team mode (most of the time):** Talk to `devpulse`, dispatch work across the team. Agents work in parallel and report back.
- **Direct mode (for deeper work):**`cd src/aipass/memory && claude` — work one-on-one with a specialist when the problem needs focused domain expertise.
**AIPass ships with 11 core agents** that maintain and develop the framework — the reference implementation proving the architecture works at scale:
```
devpulse (orchestrator)
├── drone — command routing + @agent resolution
├── seedgo — 33 automated quality standards
├── prax — real-time monitoring across all agents
├── ai_mail — agent-to-agent communication + task dispatch
├── flow — plan lifecycle, templates, auto-archival
├── spawn — creates new agents anywhere on your filesystem
These agents work on the **same filesystem, same project, same time** — no sandboxes, no worktrees. This is the pattern your projects inherit.

## The 11 Agents
## The Reference Implementation
You don't need to memorize this list. Start with `devpulse`, use `drone` to reach any agent, and learn the rest as your workflow expands.
AIPass ships with 17 core agents that maintain and develop the framework itself — proving the architecture works at scale. You don't need any of these to use AIPass in your own project. They're here as examples and as services your project can call.
# If you ran the backup system, also remove its local state + shipped config
pip uninstall aipass
rm -rf .backup/ && rm -f .backupignore

No cloud accounts, no external services, no cleanup beyond your local filesystem.
