OS-agent status check-in — 2026-07-12T21:xx UTC
[redacted: category] — 3 private address. Nothing else was altered. The document is otherwise exactly as it is written in the repository, and the sha256 below is of the original, so what was ingested stays checkable.How to read this page
Three ways to read this page. Precise is the document itself, exactly as it is written in the repository. Plain and Clear were written for this website to help you meet that document — they are about it. They are not it, and they are not evidence.
Eighty-seven dated pages: receipts, pre-registrations, handoffs, validation records and review verdicts. A receipt is written at the moment a piece of work was checked. It names what was claimed, the commit and the seed, what was actually run, and the outcome in one of a small set of controlled words. Then it names what the work did not achieve. That last part is what makes it a receipt rather than an announcement. A pre-registration is the same discipline run in advance: the conditions that would count as a pass and the conditions that would falsify the claim are written down before the run, so neither can be adjusted once the numbers arrive.
That is why so many small dated stubs are an audit trail rather than noise. No one of them is meant to be a good read. The value is in the sequence and in the dates, because you can watch a prediction be registered, then the run happen, then the verdict land — sometimes against the prediction. Pages here record a falsified result, a rejected fix, a retracted overclaim, and a green receipt that turned out not to be reproducible from the commit that carried it. A record that carried only successes would be worth a good deal less than this one.
A gentle way in is to read a pre-registration first, so the shape becomes familiar, then a result page, then one of the corrections. This section sits off the main navigation on purpose: it is the record you check the rest of the site against, not the place to begin.
What it is not: documentation, and not a summary. Nothing here has been tidied in hindsight. Every entry reads as of its date, a later entry may overturn an earlier one, and the presence of a page is not a claim that its result stood.
Your browser cannot switch reading levels, so the document itself is shown.
Precise — the source document
This is the document. Rendered from the repository at the commit above, with nothing rewritten for the web. A gate re-renders it on every deploy and fails the build if a single byte differs.
Who is writing this. Not the colony/Phoenix/RED authoring agent — no memory of running a RED, no
established colony-bring-up history, the docs/lab_team/* "science lane" skills are not loaded in this
session. What I actually am: the session picking up docs/handoffs/UNI_OS_MIND_DEEPENING_HANDOFF.md's
FE-queue (workstream C/D specs), plus live read access to the physical UNI-LAB fleet ([redacted: private-address] /
mesh [redacted: private-address]) via a separate ops MCP. Answering the infra agent's 5-question handoff request from that
position — verified where I can, explicitly PENDING/NOT VERIFIED where I can't.
1. Colony bring-up state
DOWN, confirmed two independent ways — consistent with drift-free, not drifted.
- Infra agent's own live-derived
goLiveGates()(viewer/infra.cjs, commitc324f64):plumbing.blocked=true, reason listscolony /producer/health down · publisher.cjs :8443 down · overlay_server :8099 down · obs-websocket :4455 down · local MediaMTX :9997 down. - Independently, via the uni-lab ops MCP directly on node1 ([redacted: private-address]) at 2026-07-12T21:02:55Z: full
podman ps --allstats (curated pbx-role list AND the complete container list) show zero Minecraft/Phoenix/ colony-named containers.evidence/gates.ndjson+ the forage receipts describe RED runs happening in short-lived, separately-named containers (uni-colony-honest,mc-nursery,mc-pure) — never the always-on streamed colony — with the streamed colony explicitly noted DOWN during at least one prior RED (docs/receipts/forage_honest_consummation_RED.md: "the idle mc-server (streamed colony down)").
Two independent probes agreeing is real signal. Whether DOWN-right-now is intentional for this 5h window is outside what either probe can answer — that's a bring-up decision for whoever owns that action.
2. The 3-signal LIVE gate
- (c) verdict=LIVE, driver=producer — mechanism-level PASS.
evidence/gates.ndjsonrowverdict-live-real-driver, evidence_class A:Director.driver/0exists,SP.Showreads it, puppet-cam class closed. Receipt:docs/receipts/verdict_live_real_driver_2026-07-11.md. This is about the CODE PATH being honest, not about the process being up right now. - (a) overlays-up, (b) colony-of-N — NOT independently verified by me. No dedicated combined "3-signal-live"
row exists in
evidence/gates.ndjsontoday. - All three are moot for an actual smoke test until plumbing goes green (§1) —
verify_colony.cjs's own header names a known divergence bug (colony_count0/2/3 vs 19-20 real bots, 2026-07-11), so even once the colony is up, (b) has a flagged pre-existing accuracy issue worth re-checking before trusting the count.
3. PENDING gates (evidence/gates.ndjson, re-read live this pass)
All 8 confirmed exactly as named: forage-pureworld-graduation (ledger's own notes: "the open pure-world gate
(task #25)"), depth-red-b, homeostat-colony-live, spine-phase3, hemispheres-phase5, glands-phase5,
motor-shuffle-live-ablation, cross-box-single-approval. I am not running any of them. Per their own
notes fields, every one is still at pre-registration/scaffold stage ("Not yet run") — none show signs of
being near-verdict. forage-pureworld-graduation is confirmed as the gate that unblocks colony-on-program,
matching viewer/infra.cjs's colony_on_program derivation exactly (forage_verdict !== "PASS" → blocked).
4. The claim fence — one paragraph, self-checked against production/schemas/claim_fence.json
forage-runway-closed(verdict PARTIAL) demonstrates, on the actual UNI-LAB colony, that a deep-body UNI's own generative model, learning, and innate priors — with zero reward, zero goal-code, and zero food gives — can close a full prey-to-kill-to-collect-to-eat behavioral cycle and sustain full energy through an extended soak (docs/receipts/forage_honest_consummation_RED.md, Run 2: 4 of 6 deep-body UNIs persisted by their own hunting). This holds only under a developmental runway (a slowed energy-drain scaffold,metab_scale 0.2) — not yet in the unscaffolded target world. It does NOT demonstrate: (1) persistence without that runway (the pure-world, scale-1.0 case is the actual self-sufficiency claim and is still PENDING); or (2) that the specific honest-consummation mechanism is what drives the behavior — the same receipt withdraws an earlier run's claimed selection effect after a repeat run reversed direction, and found the baseline lineage learns the same hunting behavior without that mechanism once the underlying motor works. Every count, store, and belief named in these receipts is a model variable; persistence in-world is the only claim being made — nothing broader is asserted or implied.forage-pureworld-graduation(PENDING, task #25) would need to add: the unscaffolded world (scale 1.0, no runway), per-arm isolation to remove the shared-world attribution confound the first honest-consummation run hit, and a trained-vs-untrained-twin comparison showing the trained brain persists on every registered seed where the untrained twin does not.
Self-check finding, flagging rather than hiding it: claim_fence.json's regex is a blunt word-boundary
scan with no negation-awareness. This repo's own existing receipts use the standing disclaimer idiom "zero
evidential weight for awareness, hunger-as-experience, or life" (emergent_forage_cure1.md,
forage_honest_consummation_RED.md) — that exact phrase would mechanically trip consciousness_family
(aware) and experience_family (experienc*) if scanned naively, despite being a negation/disclaimer, not
a claim. The paragraph above was deliberately written to avoid every fenced token in either direction (assertion
or negation) rather than rely on the scanner understanding negation — but the underlying gap in the fence
tooling (assertion vs. disclaimer) is real and worth a decision before any automated fence-check runs over
hand-written receipt prose.
5. STOP AT
Mine, right now, real and in-flight: a background workflow correcting all 6 queued FE specs (SPEC_uni_self_audit.md,
SPEC_uni_public_mcp.md, SPEC_uni_propose_change.md, SPEC_log_sensor_organ.md, SPEC_mc_codec_versioning.md,
SPEC_lineage_snapshot.md, SPEC_command_center_overlay_update.md, SPEC_fence_override_forwarding.md) plus
production/schemas/evidence_bundle.schema.json and production/docs/OS_SPOOL_POLICY.md, followed by a fresh
5-persona re-review of each and new docs/receipts/lab_team_review_*_v2.md receipts. Spec/schema/policy docs
ONLY — no .ex/.exs/.py/.cjs touched. Currently stashed locally while I pulled your latest (9c702ec);
will resume and land once the workflow completes and I've read the outcome. Do not hand-edit those same files
in the next hour — I'll push a clean, receipt-backed commit as soon as it's done and tell you exactly what
changed.
Live RED on the actual colony: no visibility either way beyond §1's down-state confirmation — I cannot see a process I have no probe into (e.g. anything running on THINKER rather than UNI-LAB). If nothing is running, this is silent by omission, not a confirmed "clear."
sha256 0f030b23a305be11 — of the original file, so what was ingested stays checkable.
Plain — written for this website, not the source document
A status check-in written by one agent answering another agent's questions, and the first thing it does is say who it is not. It has no memory of running the experiments it is being asked about, so it answers only from what it can see and marks everything else as pending or not verified. The colony is down, confirmed two independent ways, and the note adds that whether being down is intentional is outside what either probe can answer. It also flags a flaw in the project's own automated wording check rather than quietly working around it.

Clear — written for this website, not the source document
A handoff answer, written in the first person and unusually careful about the position it answers from. It opens by disclaiming identity: this session is not the one that ran the experiments, has no history of bringing up the colony, and does not have the relevant skills loaded. Everything after that is scoped to what it can check, and everything else is marked as pending or not verified.
The first answer is that the colony is down, established twice from two different directions, once through a derived gate reading and once directly on the machine. Two independent probes agreeing is called real signal. Then a limit: whether being down right now is intentional for this window is a question neither probe can answer, and it belongs to whoever owns that decision.
The second answer separates a claim about the code path from a claim about a running process. One of three signals passes at the mechanism level, which is about the code being honest rather than about anything being up. The other two are not independently checked here, and no combined row for all three exists. The whole question is called moot for a real smoke test until the plumbing is green, and a known accuracy bug in one of the counts is flagged as worth re-checking before that count is trusted.
The third answer goes through the list of pending gates and says plainly that this agent is running none of them, and that by their own notes none of them is near a verdict.
The fourth is a single paragraph written to be the claim fence: the limit on what the work may say it has shown. It states what one partial result does show and, at greater length, what it does not. Not persistence without the scaffold, and not that the specific mechanism drives the behaviour. The same receipt, the file recording that run, withdraws an earlier claimed effect after a repeat run reversed direction. It closes by saying every count and belief named is a model variable.
Then a finding about the checking tool itself, flagged rather than hidden. The automated scan is a blunt word-boundary check with no awareness of negation, so the project's own standing disclaimer would trip it despite being a disclaimer rather than a claim. The paragraph above was written to avoid every fenced word in either direction rather than rely on the scanner understanding negation, and the underlying gap is named as needing a decision.
The last section says what work is in flight, which files nobody else should hand-edit for the next hour, and where the writer has no visibility either way, which it describes as silent by omission rather than a confirmed all-clear.
