PYKEYS: ['departments', 'lenses', 'synthesis'] | synth keys: ['milestones', 'issue_train', 'decisions_for_ali', 'new_issues', 'priorities_ranked', 'summary'] ===== SUMMARY ===== The org is NOT launch-ready. The evidence base shows 30 open issues across 7 departments with no shared critical path, ambiguous launch scope, and three human founder decisions that are blocking the entire agent org from starting. Here is the honest picture. The single highest-leverage unblocked action in the org costs Jessica 30 minutes: AIN-144 CEO approval to activate the agent roster. Nothing downstream of agent org activation can be started by chartered agents until it clears. This is the only blocker that requires a human decision and costs zero engineering effort. Three scope decisions must be made in the next 24–48 hours or every department plan is built on a misaligned brief: (1) Is launch-v1 the text/chat/assessment loop with video and audio explicitly deferred, or is it blocked on media-engine? Every department has already implicitly assumed media is deferred — the company goal doc has not caught up. (2) Is 500 modules a hard day-one launch requirement or a scale target? This single unresolved question is the largest time risk in the org — if 500 is a hard requirement, the launch date is undefined. (3) What is the QA launch bar? QA cannot produce a go/no-go verdict without a defined coverage floor and adversarial-pass threshold. Both questions are CEO-level product risk decisions disguised as QA and Curriculum tasks. The critical path through the org runs: AIN-144 (CEO approval) → AIN-143 (PR bot watcher, release infrastructure live) → AIN-95 (L1–L5 lesson content, Curriculum) → AIN-123 (lesson wiring, Journey — blocked on Curriculum) → AIN-NEW-JP-3 (E2E smoke test) → M7 go/no-go. The cross-department dependency between AIN-95 (Curriculum) and AIN-123 (Journey) is the most dangerous single schedule risk in the org: it has no joint owner, no shared deadline, and no escalation trigger. A named joint owner and a written dependency contract must exist before Curriculum begins authoring so Journey knows when to expect the handoff. Three legal/infrastructure prerequisites are human actions that no agent can close: Stripe account provisioning (Ali/Richard), DPA + PostHog data-processing agreement (Ali/Laurie — a legal gate before any paid learner is admitted, not an engineering feature), and Gemini Interactions API quota confirmation (Ali GCP action before the tutor spike is dispatched). The release infrastructure (AIN-143 PR bot, AIN-101 CF flag deploy) is entirely unstarted and is a systemic multiplier — without it, broken code from any of the six other departments can land silently. AIN-143-A is a 1–2 hour task that should be the first build dispatched after AIN-144 clears. The Growth department shipped the org's first deliverable this session (AIN-134 persona landing variants, PRs #106/#110). Those PRs should not merge until Finch completes a single canon-voice check against positioning-canon doctrine v3.2 — a bounded 2-hour action that closes the brand-drift risk before the Academy URL goes live. Launch-v1 resolves to five verifiable gates: (A) Core learner loop E2E verified — Éowyn smoke test pass receipt. (B) Legal prerequisites clear — DPA signed, consent UI live, Stripe provisioned. (C) Release infrastructure live — PR bot active, CF flag deploy pipeline live, rollback runbook published. (D) QA launch bar met — coverage floor and adversarial threshold satisfied per Jessica's definition. (E) Canon-voice landing copy live on staging, Finch-verified. When all five are green, Jessica calls launch. Video, audio, personalization substrate, Vertex embeddings, and mobile harness are Phase 2. ===== MILESTONES ===== • M0 — Org Activation — target: Day 1 (2026-06-30) gate: AIN-144 CEO approval signed; AIN-143-A PR bot watcher live; AIN-141 second-verifier receipt schema merged; release_marshal confirmed active.

Gemini Interactions API promoted to production tutor if spike passed (AIN-133-B — depends on AIN-133-A from M3 + quota confirmation from M0). Composer integrated with Journey platform — lesson cards resolve from composer output (AIN-94-C). Backup verifier designated so Éowyn oversubscription does not block the pipeline (AIN-NEW-JP-2).

(C) Release infrastructure live — PR bot active, CF flag deploy pipeline live, rollback runbook published. (D) QA launch bar met — coverage floor + adversarial threshold both satisfied per Jessica's M0 definition. (E) Canon-voice landing copy live on staging URL, Finch-verified. Jessica signs go/no-go.

Personalization substrate pipeline to runtime (AIN-96) operational. Vertex embeddings E2E (AIN-97) operational. Mobile harness scaffolded (AIN-102).

Title, department, lane, priority, and bounded scope are present. exit: Builder and verifier assigned (different people). Issue mapped to a milestone. Depends-on list confirmed. Issue cannot enter Checkout until builder != verifier is explicit. [Checkout] owner=release_marshal (enforces depends-on gate; blocks checkout if upstream is open or decision is unresolved) entry: Issue passes Intake. All upstream depends-on issues are in state Done or explicitly deferred with a documented bypass reason. exit: Builder has pulled the issue, confirmed scope is still accurate against current repo state, and posted a start receipt in the issue thread. Any prerequisite human decisions (Stripe account, quota, DPA) are confirmed as resolved before Checkout is allowed. [Execution] owner=Builder (lane agent). release_marshal monitors for branches that are stale > 2 days. entry: Builder has posted a start receipt. Work is in progress on a named branch. exit: (1) PR opened. (2) AIN-143 PR bot review check passes (no merge before bot receipt). (3) Builder posts a completion note with the PR link. Execution gate: no self-verification — builder cannot be the verifier. [Verification] owner=Named verifier per issue. Éowyn for visual/adversarial tasks. Jared for platform smoke tests. Finch for canon-voice checks. entry: PR is open and bot review check has passed. Verifier is notified via issue thread. exit: (1) Verifier runs acceptance criteria against staging (not local). (2) Verifier posts a PKM second-verifier receipt (AIN-141 schema). (3) Receipt is committed to the issue thread. For adversarial tasks (Éowyn): receipt must include break-attempt log. Verifier cannot be the builder. [Merge-Gate] owner=release_marshal (AIN-101 flag-controlled pipeline enforces this) entry: Verification receipt exists. No open review threads from the PR bot. exit: release_marshal confirms: (1) PR is up to date with main, (2) no unexplained changes outside the task's bounded scope, (3) all checks green, (4) second-verifier receipt is committed. Then merge is authorized. release_marshal is the sole merge authority — no self-merge by the builder. [Done / Landed] owner=AgentOps (Finch confirms PKM receipt); release_marshal confirms no orphan branches entry: PR merged to main. Branch deleted. No orphan state. exit: (1) Issue state updated to Done in Linear. (2) PKM memory updated (Finch sweeps this via AIN-135/AIN-137). (3) Handoff note posted if the issue has downstream dependents. (4) Milestone gate re-evaluated — if all issues in a milestone are Done, milestone is declared green. ===== DECISIONS FOR ALI ===== 1. Launch-v1 scope: text/chat/assessment loop only vs. media-gated launch options: ['Option A (RECOMMENDED): Launch-v1 is the text/chat/assessment/payment loop. Video (AIN-91) and audio (AIN-92) are explicitly deferred to Phase 2 (M8). Company goal doc is updated to reflect this. Every department plans against the text-only scope immediately.', 'Option B: Launch is blocked until media-engine delivers at least one video asset and one TTS audio asset. Estimate: adds 4–8 weeks to timeline with no committed delivery date from the media-engine dependency.', "Option C: Soft gate — launch the text loop but hold the URL 'in preview' until media lands. Risks: preview framing dilutes first-impression quality; unclear when to flip to 'real launch'."] → rec: Option A. No media-engine deliverable exists and both AIN-91 and AIN-92 are explicitly blocked with no unblocking action in-flight. The text/chat/assessment loop is a complete, testable learner experience. Ship it. Update the company goal doc today so every department plans against the same scope. 2. 500-module Universal Track scope: hard day-one launch requirement vs. scale target options: ["Option A (RECOMMENDED): 500 modules is a post-launch scale target. Launch-v1 requires only that the composer can resolve all authored L1–L5 lessons in the verified corpus (however many that is after AIN-95 completes). AIN-94 scope collapses to 'composer resolves authored lessons end-to-end.'", 'Option B: 500 modules is a hard launch requirement. This dwarfs every other open issue in raw authoring effort, has no coverage baseline, and no velocity data. It almost certainly makes every other milestone slip regardless of engineering execution speed.', 'Option C: Commit to a specific smaller number (e.g., 50 modules across all five levels) as a launch milestone, with 500 as the 90-day target.'] → rec: Option A. The 500-module figure appears to be a scale vision, not a day-one launch contract. Curriculum needs this in writing within 48 hours to scope AIN-94 and AIN-95 correctly. Without it, curriculum_architect cannot plan authoring velocity and will default to treating 500 as a hard requirement — which makes the launch date effectively undefined. 3. QA launch bar: what coverage floor + adversarial-pass threshold triggers go/no-go options: ['Option A (RECOMMENDED): Define a concrete bar now — e.g., 60% line coverage across critical path files, 78% branch coverage on exercised paths (current baseline), zero adversarial-pass regressions on evaluator scoring, and Éowyn E2E smoke test pass receipt. Adjustable upward after M6 evidence is in.', 'Option B: Run QA through M6 and let the evidence determine the bar. Risk: QA cannot produce a verdict without a defined threshold — the evidence is meaningless without a pass/fail line. Launch go/no-go becomes subjective.', 'Option C: Treat the current 24.2% line coverage as acceptable for launch. This is honest about the risk but sets a very low bar for a first paid-learner product.'] → rec: Option A. Define the bar now, even if it is adjusted later. The QA department correctly flagged this as a CEO-level decision. Current line coverage (24.2%) against no stated floor is unauditable. A concrete threshold — even a modest one — converts QA output from evidence into a verdict. Jessica should post this number within 24 hours so AIN-100 and AIN-105 have a target. 4. Gemini Interactions API quota confirmation for AIN-133 (Ali GCP action) options: ['Option A (RECOMMENDED): Ali confirms Vertex/Gemini quota headroom for interactive API usage at expected concurrent learner load (estimate: 50–100 concurrent sessions at launch) before AIN-133-A begins. If quota is insufficient, AIN-133-A spike is deferred and the current tutor stays in production for launch.', 'Option B: Begin AIN-133-A spike without quota confirmation and treat a 429 response as a go/no-go signal during the spike. Risk: if quota is exhausted in staging, the spike cannot produce meaningful results and the Gemini Interactions API cannot be promoted.', 'Option C: Defer AIN-133 entirely to Phase 2 and launch with the current tutor implementation.'] → rec: Option A. This is an Ali GCP action, not an agent task. It costs 10 minutes to check quota in the GCP console. A tutor that 429s silently at concurrent load is worse for first-impression launch than the current implementation. Confirm or deny before AIN-133-A is dispatched. If quota is not confirmable within 48 hours, default to Option C. 5. DPA + PostHog data-processing agreement (Ali/Laurie legal action) options: ['Option A (RECOMMENDED): Assign DPA completion to Ali (founder signatory) with Laurie executing the PostHog DPA documentation and consent UI (AIN-98). Set a hard deadline of M4 gate — no paid learner is admitted until the DPA is signed and the consent layer is live.', 'Option B: Treat DPA as a post-launch legal formality and admit paid learners before it is complete. Risk: legal exposure for processing EU/UK learner data without a compliant agreement. This is not a product tradeoff — it is a legal prerequisite.', 'Option C: Block launch until DPA is complete regardless of engineering readiness.'] → rec: Option A. The DPA is a legal gate, not an engineering task. Separating it from the engineering work (AIN-96/AIN-97 personalization features) and assigning it to Ali + Laurie with a clear M4 deadline is the correct framing. Option B is not a viable business decision for any paying customer. Option C is already embedded in Option A — the M4 gate enforces it. 6. AIN-134 persona landing PRs (#106/#110): merge now vs. Finch canon-voice check first options: ['Option A (RECOMMENDED): Hold merge of PRs #106/#110 until Finch completes a single canon-voice review pass against positioning-canon doctrine v3.2. This is a 1-agent-pass task, bounded to < 2 hours. Merge immediately after pass receipt.', 'Option B: Merge now. Accept the risk that landing copy may drift from doctrine v3.2. Revisit copy quality in M4 as part of AIN-103 canon copy work.', 'Option C: Revert the PRs and re-author from scratch after AIN-103 canon copy work completes.'] → rec: Option A. The PRs are already open and close to merge-ready. A Finch canon-voice check is the smallest possible action that closes the brand-drift risk. Option C is unnecessary rework. The org shipped its first Growth deliverable this session — protect it with a fast verification pass, not a rollback. ===== PRIORITIES RANKED ===== 1. 1.

Outstanding synthesis — decision-ready. The council's verdict: not launch-ready, but the critical path is clear and three founder decisions are gating the whole org. Let me extract the plan + issue specs into durable artifacts (one for you, one for codex to create the issues from):

The council produced 13 new issues + 52 bounded sub-tasks (each with lane/skills/builder/verifier/acceptance). That's the full backlog the department heads want created. Let me dispatch codex to create them in Paperclip — mapped to department goals, bounded sub-tasks as children of their parent issues, with builder/verifier separation and milestone tags. Staging the specs + writing the creation lane:
# Lane: Create the council's launch-readiness issues in Paperclip ## AUTONOMY (overrides inherited protocol) Autonomous ISSUE-CREATION agent. PROCEED WITHOUT ASKING. Create issues in the Paperclip company from the council synthesis. Be idempotent (dedupe against existing titles). Report honestly. Company ID = `7d58fc13-7c9a-4c87-b9f8-a7cfae8564a9` (use `--company-id` on every call). Founder direction: "let the department heads create the issues they mentioned." ## Source Read `/srv/aina/ops/aina-issue-specs.json` — it has: - `new_issues` (13): the synthesis's net-new issues (each: title, department, lane, skills, builder, verifier, bounded_scope, priority, milestone). - `department_bounded_tasks` (7 depts, ~52 tasks): each dept's `bounded_tasks` (title like "AIN-93-A: ...", lane, skills, builder, verifier, acceptance, depends_on) + dept `new_issues`. - `milestones` (M0–M8): name/target/gate/includes — use to tag each issue's milestone. ## Steps 1. `paperclipai issue create --help` and `paperclipai goal list --company-id <CO> --json` — learn the create schema (goalId, parentId, labels, priority, title, description) and map each **department name → goalId** (the 7 team goals: Journey & Platform, Curriculum & Learning Design, Data Vertex & Personalization, QA & Verification, Release & Platform Control, Growth Marketing & Media, AgentOps & Factory Health). 2. `paperclipai issue list --company-id <CO> --json` — get existing issues (identifiers AIN-##, titles, ids). Use to (a) DEDUPE: skip creating any issue whose title already substantially exists; (b) resolve PARENTS: a bounded task titled "AIN-93-A: ..." is a child of existing issue AIN-93 → set `parentId` to AIN-93's id (strip the "AIN-93-A:" prefix into a clean title, keep the mapping in the description). 3. Create issues: - **13 new_issues** → top-level issues under the mapped department goalId. - **~52 bounded_tasks** → child issues (parentId = the parent AIN-## where the title implies one, e.g. AIN-95-A→AIN-95; else top-level under the dept goal). Skip any that duplicate an existing open issue. - For EACH issue set: `priority` (P0→1/critical, P1→2/high mapped to the enum the CLI accepts — check create --help), labels include the **lane**, the **milestone** (M0..M8), and `council-2026-06-29`. The **description** must contain: scoped goal (for dept top-levels), bounded scope/acceptance, **Builder:** <name>, **Verifier:** <name> (builder ≠ verifier), Skills, Depends-on. - **FOUNDER-DECISION issues** (AIN-NEW-ORG-1/2/3 + AIN-NEW-PROD-1/2/3): create them but prefix the title/description with **[FOUNDER-DECISION]** and note builder=Jessica/Ali — these are decisions to make, NOT agent-executable; do not assign to a build agent. 4. Do NOT start any execution. AIN-144 (CEO approval) still gates agents starting work — this lane only CREATES the backlog. ## Deliver Report to `/srv/aina/ops/issue-creation-report.md`: count created, skipped-as-duplicate, the new identifiers grouped by milestone + department, and any failures. Honest (no false-done). This is a backlog build; no PR needed (Paperclip issues, not repo files).

You're right — that's my mistake, and an important one. I used gpt-5.3-codex-spark because I matched a live codex process during the VDS reconcile instead of the canon model. Spark has a much tighter quota — that's what caused the repeated quota-exhaustion and lane failures all session (growth-distribution, the issue-creation lane). Canon is gpt-5.5. Let me lock that down everywhere and find where spark is leaking in. Saving the correction and investigating in parallel:

NEVER use `gpt-5.3-codex-spark` for anything** (Ali, 2026-06-29). **Why:** During a VDS reconcile I saw a live `codex exec ... --model gpt-5.3-codex-spark` process and matched it in my launchers. Spark has a much tighter subscription quota → it exhausted repeatedly (14:33, 19:38 resets) and caused multiple lane failures this session (growth-distribution twice, the issue-creation lane). Canon (FACTORY-GUARDRAILS, agent-work-protocol "GPT-5.5 for standard build") is gpt-5.5. Ali: "Why are we using codex spark for anything?

Fix ALL lane launchers, the watchdog (it relaunches dead codex), and any codex default config that points at spark. Don't match a stray running process for the model — use canon.

== any running codex now (and on what model) ==Found it: the codex default config is already gpt-5.5 (correct). The spark leak was entirely my fault — my lane launchers passed --model gpt-5.3-codex-spark, overriding the good default (I matched a stray running process during reconcile instead of trusting canon). No ops script references spark. So the fix is just: stop overriding, and use the right model per task.
And on your follow-up — 5.4-mini for this (issue creation is mechanical/right-sized for mini), 5.5 for builds, never spark. Updating the policy and relaunching issue-creation on 5.4-mini:
**All codex lanes/agents run on `gpt-5.5` (codex). NEVER use `gpt-5.3-codex-spark` for anything** (Ali, 2026-06-29). **Why:** During a VDS reconcile I saw a live `codex exec ... --model gpt-5.3-codex-spark` process and matched it in my launchers. Spark has a much tighter subscription quota → it exhausted repeatedly (14:33, 19:38 resets) and caused multiple lane failures this session (growth-distribution twice, the issue-creation lane). Canon (FACTORY-GUARDRAILS, agent-work-protocol "GPT-5.5 for standard build") is gpt-5.5. Ali: "Why are we using codex spark for anything? It should not be used at all it should all be 5.5." **How to apply:** every `codex exec` invocation uses `--model gpt-5.5` (verify the exact available id on the VDS — `gpt-5.5` or `gpt-5.5-codex`). Fix ALL lane launchers, the watchdog (it relaunches dead codex), and any codex default config that points at spark. Don't match a stray running process for the model — use canon. Relates to [[project-aina-factory-build-2026-06-29]], the "right-size the model" rule, and the quota-vs-auth gotcha in [[feedback-aina-operating-energy]].
**Codex model policy (Ali, 2026-06-29): `gpt-5.5` for build/standard work, `gpt-5.4-mini` for light/mechanical work (issue-creation, triage, extraction, formatting). NEVER `gpt-5.3-codex-spark` for anything.** **Why:** During a VDS reconcile I saw a live `codex exec ... --model gpt-5.3-codex-spark` process and matched it in my launchers. Spark has a much tighter subscription quota → it exhausted repeatedly (14:33, 19:38 resets) and caused multiple lane failures this session (growth-distribution twice, the issue-creation lane). The codex **default config (`~/.codex/config.toml`) is already `model = "gpt-5.5"`** — the leak was ONLY my launcher overrides, no ops script references spark. Ali: "Why are we using codex spark for anything? It should all be 5.5" → then "Use 5.4 mini" (for the mechanical issue-creation). **How to apply:** in lane launchers, OMIT `--model` to inherit the 5.5 default for builds, or set `--model gpt-5.4-mini` for light/extraction lanes. Never pass spark. Matches the "right-size the model per task" rule. Note: mechanical issue-creation can also be done DETERMINISTICALLY (a paperclipai script, zero model/quota) — even cheaper than mini. Relates to [[project-aina-factory-build-2026-06-29]] and the quota-vs-auth gotcha in [[feedback-aina-operating-energy]].

The "skills budget" line is a non-fatal warning. My verified deterministic script (dry-ran clean: 65 issues, correct goal/parent mapping) is the instant fallback if the mini model struggles.
Model policy now locked: never spark; gpt-5.5 for builds, gpt-5.4-mini for light/mechanical (the default config was already 5.5 — only my launchers were wrongly overriding to spark). I'll relaunch any build lane that died on the spark quota (growth-B) on 5.5.
Now the substance you asked for — what to decide + the milestones. The council's honest verdict: not launch-ready, but the path is clear, and the whole org is gated on 3 founder decisions + one 30-min approval.
The 6 decisions only you can make (each with the council's recommendation): 1. Launch-v1 scope → Rec: text/chat/assessment/payment loop now; video + audio deferred to Phase 2. (Both media issues are blocked with nothing in-flight; the text loop is a complete, testable product.) 2. 500 modules — launch requirement or scale target? → Rec: scale target. Launch only needs the composer to resolve the authored L1–L5 corpus. (If 500 is hard-required, the launch date is undefined — this is the biggest time risk.) 3. QA launch bar → Rec: set a concrete floor now (~60% line / 78% branch on critical paths + zero evaluator-scoring regressions + an E2E smoke pass). Without a number, QA can't produce a go/no-go. 4. Gemini Interactions API quota (your 10-min GCP check) → confirm headroom for ~50–100 concurrent before the tutor spike, else keep current tutor. 5. DPA + PostHog data-processing agreement → legal gate before any paid learner; assign to you (signatory) + Laurie, hard deadline at M4. 6. AIN-134 landing PRs (#106/#110) → Rec: hold merge for one ~2hr Finch canon-voice check, then merge (don't rollback).
The milestone arc: M0 Org-Activation (Jessica signs AIN-144 + the 3 scope decisions — Day 1) → M1 Release-infra (PR bot + flag deploys) → M2 content-baseline + platform scaffolds → M3 core learner loop → M4 full L1–L5 + legal → M5 lesson-wiring + tutor → M6 QA bar + E2E → M7 launch go/no-go (5 green gates) → M8 Phase-2 media/personalization/mobile. The single highest-leverage unblock: AIN-144 CEO approval — 30 min, nothing downstream starts without it.
The council also designed the issue "train" (Intake → Checkout → Execution → Verification → Merge-Gate → Done, with builder≠verifier enforced and release_marshal as sole merge authority) — that's the pipeline for how every issue moves. Full plan is written to AINA-LAUNCH-PLAN.md; I'll give you the readable companion when the issues finish creating. Re-arming to verify the creation + relaunch growth-B on 5.5.
{
"delaySeconds": 900,
"reason": "Verify the 5.4-mini issue-creation lane created the 65 issues (else run the deterministic fallback), and relaunch growth-B on gpt-5.5 (it likely died on the spark quota).",
"prompt": "<<autonomous-loop-dynamic>>"
}Next wakeup scheduled for 16:38:00 (in 952s). Nothing more to do this turn — the harness re-invokes you when the wakeup fires or a task-notification arrives.
Done for this turn — the create-issues lane is working on gpt-5.4-mini, the model policy is locked (5.5 builds / 5.4-mini light / never spark), and the decision-ready plan is in your hands: the 6 founder decisions, the M0→M7 milestone arc, and the issue "train." I'll verify the issues landed (deterministic fallback ready if mini stalls), relaunch growth-B on 5.5, and prepare the readable plan companion. Your move on the 6 decisions whenever you're ready — especially the 30-minute AIN-144 CEO approval, which unblocks the whole org.

This one's important and higher-authority than the constitution draft — it's the doctrine→architecture bridge ("near-canonical"), and it carries a canon update: the spine is now 51 capabilities (the 51st added after this doc). It also resolves a tension I'd flagged earlier. Staging it to canon, recording the key locks, and checking the issue-creation lane:

{"type":"item.completed","item":{"id":"item_0","type":"error","message":"Exceeded skills context budget of 2%. All skill descriptions were removed and 148 additional skills were not included in the model-visible skills list."}}growth-B is back up on gpt-5.5 (pid 2275196, running — no quota error, confirming 5.5 has headroom). Here's where everything stands after your two canon drops + the council:
The backlog is real now — 93 launch-readiness issues created across all 7 departments, each mapped to its department goal with builder ≠ verifier in the description, deduped (0 dups, 0 failures). That includes:
- The 6 founder-decisions filed as [FOUNDER-DECISION] issues (AIN-155–160) — the launch-scope, 500-module, QA-bar, Gemini quota, DPA, and Stripe calls. They're tracked and waiting on you, not on an agent.
- The bounded sub-task breakdown (AIN-93-A/B pricing, AIN-95-A–E curriculum, AIN-94-A–C composer, AIN-138-A/B arena, AIN-133-A/B tutor, the data/QA/release tasks) — the "bounded tasks + skill/lane + builder/verifier separation" you asked for, now as actual tracked work.
The First Principles doc is locked as near-canonical — and it's higher-authority than the superseded constitution draft, so it's the anchor for curriculum/spine/evaluator. Two things it settles: - Spine is now 51 capabilities / 510 modules (the 51st you mentioned). I've flagged the curriculum issues to update from 50/500. - It resolves the runtime-generation tension I'd flagged as a constitution conflict: the evaluator is selector-by-default, gated-generation-by-exception, with four fields permanently selector-only (rubric, calibration set, mastery-gate scenarios, credential definition). So generation helps build the instrument but never is the instrument — that's no longer an open question.
Your court (the only things gating the org from executing): the 6 decisions (AIN-155–160) + the 30-minute AIN-144 CEO approval. Everything else is filed, mapped, and ready to move through the train the moment those clear.
I'll keep growth-B and the 5 review-ready PRs moving, and have the readable launch-plan companion ready when you want to walk the milestones. Re-arming the heartbeat.

"delaySeconds": 1500,
"reason": "Verify growth-B completes on gpt-5.5 (and lands its channels/MCP/referral PR); confirm no other lane is silently on spark; everything else (93 issues, canon, 5 PRs) is landed/review-ready.",

}Next wakeup scheduled for 17:01:00 (in 1541s). Nothing more to do this turn — the harness re-invokes you when the wakeup fires or a task-notification arrives.
Done for this turn. Summary of what landed: the near-canonical First Principles doc is locked (spine → 51/510, runtime-generation tension resolved via the selector-only evaluator firewall), 93 launch-readiness issues are created across all 7 departments with builder/verifier separation, the 6 founder decisions are filed as AIN-155–160 for your call, and growth-B is back on gpt-5.5. The factory's on the corrected model policy (5.5 builds / 5.4-mini light / never spark). Your move whenever ready — AIN-144 + the 6 decisions unblock the org.
For Video I have already shared the clips of 90 seconds for 30 of those I think there might be more than 30 when it comes to video we can use that
The only thing remaining would be audio
I’ll take the ownership of it on the side
500 modules is a scale target
QA launch bar - 75% as the target E2E of visual with feedback of 10 personas E2E without visual of 100 personas in batches of 25
Then run those results through council and customer council
Iterate and repeat
Decisions logged — and the video news matters: it changes the launch scope (video is no longer blocked). Let me record your calls to canon, locate those clips so the media lane can wire them, and pull the issue IDs to update. Capturing the decisions first:

## FOUNDER DECISIONS — launch readiness (Ali, 2026-06-29)
- **VIDEO is UNBLOCKED.** >=30 ninety-second clips ALREADY EXIST (Ali-provided; possibly more). AIN-91 video is NOT deferred — wire the existing clips. Locate the clips and the manifest.
- **AUDIO is the only remaining media gap, and Ali OWNS IT on the side** (founder-parallel). AIN-92 comes OFF the agent critical path — do not block launch on it; do not generate audio in the org.
- **LAUNCH-V1 SCOPE (AIN-158 / PROD-1):** text / chat / assessment / payment loop **+ VIDEO** (existing clips). Audio = founder-parallel. (Supersedes council Option A "text-only" — video is IN because the clips exist.)
- **500 MODULES (AIN-159 / PROD-2): SCALE TARGET, not a launch gate** (council Option A confirmed). Launch needs the composer to resolve the AUTHORED corpus; spine = 51, modules = 510 as the full target.
- **QA LAUNCH BAR (AIN-160 / PROD-3): 75% coverage target**, PLUS the persona-E2E regime:
- **E2E WITH visual + feedback across 10 personas.**
- **E2E WITHOUT visual across 100 personas, in batches of 25.**
- **Run the results through the COUNCIL + a CUSTOMER COUNCIL, then iterate and repeat.**
(Uses the validated Vertex-E2E persona library + the review-harness council + a new "customer council" = personas evaluating AS customers. Wire into AIN-100 / AIN-105 / AIN-142 / AIN-166 (NEW-QA-1) / AIN-162 (NEW-JP-3 E2E smoke).)
- **STILL PENDING Ali:** Gemini quota (#4), DPA (#5), AIN-134 #106/#110 canon-voice check (#6), and the 30-min **AIN-144 CEO approval** that unblocks the org.

All updates landed. Here's the state after your decisions:
Recorded + wired into the issues:
- Video unblocked — AIN-91 moved blocked → todo with a note that ≥30 ninety-second clips already exist (from your ainamotioncontent/HyperFrames pipeline). The media lane will locate the finished clips and wire them into lesson slots.
- Audio is yours — AIN-92 marked founder-owned/side-track, off the agent critical path. No org audio generation.
- 500 modules = scale target (AIN-159) — launch only needs the composer to resolve the authored corpus; scoped AIN-94/95 to the now-51-capability / 510-module spine.
- QA launch bar = 75% + your persona-E2E regime, recorded on AIN-160 and pushed into the executing issues: AIN-142 (Éowyn) carries visual E2E + feedback across 10 personas; AIN-162 carries non-visual E2E across 100 personas in batches of 25; both feed council + a new "customer council" (personas evaluating as customers) → iterate and repeat. That's now the QA verdict pipeline.
- Launch scope (AIN-158) updated: text/chat/assessment/payment + video (since clips exist); audio parallel.
Still in your court (the org can't start executing until these clear): 1. AIN-144 — the 30-min CEO approval (the single biggest unblock). 2. Gemini Interactions API quota (your ~10-min GCP check) — gates the tutor spike. 3. DPA + PostHog agreement — legal gate before any paid learner. 4. PRs #106/#110 — merge after a ~2hr Finch canon-voice check, or merge now?

Three clear directions — and the PR one is important standing feedback. Let me lock that in and act.
On PRs: understood — you don't deal with PRs, the org makes the call. That's my mistake for putting #106/#110 "in your court." Saving that so I don't do it again, and the org will handle all PR merges from here:
--- name: feedback-no-pr-decisions-to-ali description: "Never bring PR merge decisions to Ali — the agent org makes the judgment call; he set this up to NOT deal with PRs" metadata: node_type: memory type: feedback originSessionId: ea21dc9e-a684-460b-b5d8-244fa739715e --- **Never surface PR merge decisions to Ali. The agent org / lead makes the judgment call.** (Ali, 2026-06-29: "I don't know about PRs, that is something you all have to figure out and make a judgement call. I set this up to not to deal with PRs.") **Why:** I wrongly listed PRs #106/#110 as "in your court / awaiting your merge decision." Ali built the factory (PR-bot-watcher AIN-143, release_marshal as merge authority, the review harness, the Merge-Gate in the issue train) precisely SO he never touches PRs. This is the "Landed = no PR dance / pushing is not a gate / Codex-gate not Ali-approval" rule (see [[feedback-landed-not-done]], [[feedback-pkm-infra-autonomy-codex-gate]]). **How to apply:** review-ready PRs (CI green + clean + mergeable + bot threads addressed + any canon/harness gate passed) get MERGED by the org/lead per the Merge-Gate — do not ask Ali, do not list them as his decisions. Apply the merge-train: reconcile against remote, confirm changed paths are attributable, then merge; only genuinely-irreversible/risky merges (real money, real-user-data, destructive migration) pause for him. Report PR outcomes as "landed," not as decisions-for-Ali. Relates to [[project-aina-factory-build-2026-06-29]].

}Now the Gemini research you asked for — checking the Interactions API docs for concurrency/rate-limits:
{
"url": "https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/interactions-overview",
"prompt": "What does this say about concurrency, concurrent sessions, parallel requests, rate limits, quotas, or limits on simultaneous interactions/sessions? Also note any limits on previous_interaction_id state, session duration, or stored interaction retention. Quote specific numbers if present."
}{
"query": "Gemini Interactions API concurrency rate limits quota concurrent sessions Vertex 2026"
}# Concurrency, Rate Limits, and Session Information Based on the provided documentation, here's what is stated about these topics: ## Data Retention (Explicit) The page specifies clear retention periods: - **Paid Tier**: "The system retains interactions for **55 days**." - **Free Tier**: "The system retains interactions for **1 day**." ## Concurrency and Rate Limits The document does **not address** concurrent sessions, parallel requests, simultaneous interactions, or rate limits. These topics are absent from this Interactions API overview page. ## Previous_interaction_id State Limits No specific limitations are mentioned regarding the use of `previous_interaction_id` for maintaining conversation state or the number of turns it can support. ## Session Duration No maximum session duration is specified. For comprehensive information on rate limits and quota restrictions, the documentation references a separate [Rate limits](/gemini-api/docs/rate-limits) page that is not included in the provided content.

I've performed the web search for "Gemini Interactions API concurrency rate limits quota concurrent sessions Vertex 2026". Here are the key findings:
## Overview of Gemini API Rate Limits and Quotas
The Interactions API is now generally available, and Google recommends using this API for access to all the latest features and models.
Rate limits regulate the number of requests you can make to the Gemini API within a given timeframe, helping maintain fair usage, protect against abuse, and maintain system performance for all users.
## Key Rate Limiting Concepts
Rate limits are applied per project, not per API key. Exceeding any of the limits will trigger a rate limit error.
## Vertex AI Quota System
Vertex AI uses different quota systems depending on the Gemini model and consumption mode. Older Gemini models and some non-Gemini models use standard per-project, per-region quotas, while newer Gemini models on Standard PayGo use shared throughput tiers instead of a fixed quota.
## Managing Rate Limits
Rate limits are measured across RPM (requests per minute), input TPM (tokens per minute), and RPD (requests per day), apply per project rather than per API key. Pay-as-you-go 429 fixes include using a global endpoint when possible, truncated exponential backoff, quota increase requests for quota-based models, traffic smoothing for standard pay-as-you-go, or Provisioned Throughput for more consistent service.
The search results reference documentation updated as recently as June 25-26, 2026, so this information reflects the current state of these APIs.
REMINDER: You MUST include the sources above in your response to the user using markdown hyperlinks.Gemini concurrency answer: there's no hard "concurrent sessions" cap — concurrency is bounded by per-project RPM / TPM / RPD limits, and newer Gemini models on Vertex use shared throughput tiers rather than fixed quotas. For guaranteed concurrency the lever is Provisioned Throughput; otherwise truncated exponential backoff + a global endpoint handle bursts. Retention: paid 55 days / free 1 day. So the spike's job is to measure effective RPM/TPM headroom at load, not hunt for a session cap. (Gemini rate limits, Vertex quotas)
Dispatching the Gemini spike + handling the PRs myself (gpt-5.5, never spark). Writing both lanes:
cd /Users/Ali/PKM/scratch/pkm-deepdive cat > lane-gemini-spike.md <<'EOF' # Lane: Gemini Interactions API spike for the tutor (AIN-133-A / AIN-174) — TEST FIRST, LOG EVERYTHING ## AUTONOMY: proceed without asking; build, verify, honest report. Repo /srv/repos/aina-academy. Canon=/srv/aina/ops/FACTORY-GUARDRAILS.md. ## Founder direction (Ali 2026-06-29): Gemini Interactions API APPROVED. It is NEW — do a TEST FIRST, then accelerate from there. LOG EVERYTHING: latency (p50/p95), timeouts, errors, 429s, token usage, observable-step counts. ## Concurrency facts (researched 2026-06-29; verify live): NO hard concurrent-session cap. Concurrency is bounded by per-PROJECT RPM / input-TPM / RPD. Newer Gemini on Vertex Standard PayGo = SHARED THROUGHPUT TIERS (not fixed quota); older = per-project/per-region quota. 429 mitigations: global endpoint, truncated exponential backoff, traffic smoothing, Provisioned Throughput for guaranteed concurrency. Retention: paid 55d / free 1d. previous_interaction_id = server-side multi-turn state; observable steps = thoughts/tool-calls. Docs: ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/interactions-overview + /rate-limits ; Vertex quotas docs. ## Do 1. Build a minimal test harness that calls the Gemini Interactions API for one tutor turn with previous_interaction_id state + observable steps. Capture a structured log per call (latency, status, tokens, steps, any 429/timeout). 2. Run a CONCURRENCY probe: fire N concurrent tutor sessions (e.g. ramp 5→25→50) and record effective RPM/TPM, 429 rate, p95 latency, backoff behavior. Determine the realistic concurrent-learner ceiling for the current project + whether Provisioned Throughput is needed for ~50-100. 3. Wire a SILENT fallback to the current/standard tutor on API error (no broken UI). 4. Behind a flag; do not promote to production this pass — produce the spike result + go/no-go. ## Deliver: branch ali/gemini-interactions-spike-2026-06-29, commit+push+PR; report /srv/aina/ops/gemini-spike-report.md (the full latency/timeout/429/concurrency log + the concurrent-ceiling finding + go/no-go + whether Provisioned Throughput is recommended). Honest. Address bot comments.

cd /Users/Ali/PKM/scratch/pkm-deepdive ./vds-exec.sh run 'set +e echo "== aina-chief-of-staff profile structure (template) ==" ls -la /home/ali/.hermes/profiles/aina-chief-of-staff/ 2>/dev/null echo "--- its skills categories ---" ls /home/ali/.hermes/profiles/aina-chief-of-staff/skills/ 2>/dev/null echo "--- soul/config files ---" ls /home/ali/.hermes/profiles/aina-chief-of-staff/*.md /home/ali/.hermes/profiles/aina-chief-of-staff/*.json /home/ali/.hermes/profiles/aina-chief-of-staff/*.toml /home/ali/.hermes/profiles/aina-chief-of-staff/*.yaml 2>/dev/null echo "== hermes CLI ==" which hermes 2>/dev/null; ls /home/ali/.hermes/hermes-agent/bin 2>/dev/null | head; (hermes --help 2>&1 || /home/ali/.hermes/hermes-agent/bin/* --help 2>&1) | grep -iE "profile|skill|init|create" | head echo "== audio/video/montage/tts/design skills anywhere ==" find /home/ali/.hermes /srv/repos -maxdepth 7 -type d 2>/dev/null | grep -iE "(audio|video|montage|tts|voiceover|media-engine|design-html|design-ux)" | grep -v node_modules | grep -v worktree | head -25 echo "== OpenMontage contents (top) =="; ls /home/ali/tools/OpenMontage 2>/dev/null | head'

PROMPT_GALLERY.mdNow I have the picture. Hermes has a profile subcommand (isolated instances), skills + bundles managers, and ships exactly the audio/video skills you asked about: creative/manim-video, creative/ascii-video, mlops/audiocraft (audio gen) — plus a media category. Donna already has manim-video active and audiocraft/ascii-video archived. Let me get the exact profile create + skills commands and see how to wire OpenMontage/OpenDesign, then build:

# OpenMontage - Agent Guide
Start here. This is the complete operating guide and agent contract for OpenMontage.
For architecture, key files, and conventions see [`PROJECT_CONTEXT.md`](PROJECT_CONTEXT.md).
## First Interaction — Onboarding
When the user's first message is vague, exploratory, or asks what you can do ("make me a video", "what can you do?", "help me create something", "I want to make content"), read the onboarding skill **before** doing anything else:
**Read:** `skills/meta/onboarding.md`
This skill teaches you to run discovery, classify the user's setup, present capabilities in plain language, and offer starter prompts tailored to their available tools. The goal: get the user from "curious" to "making a video" in under 60 seconds.
**Skip onboarding** when the user arrives with a specific, actionable request (e.g., "Make a 60-second explainer about black holes"). Go directly to Rule Zero.
## Reference Video Entry Point
When the user provides a **video URL or local video file as inspiration** — for example:
== opendesign (npm) bin/usage ==
README.md
bin
dist
node_modules
package.json
bin: ./bin/opendesign.js | desc: CLI for working with OpenDesign .octopus filesI have the full mechanism. Building the aina-media-engine profile now — cloning Donna's working config (auth + gpt-5.5 model + skills), then giving it a media soul, the audio/video skills (manim-video, ascii-video, audiocraft), and wrappers for OpenMontage + OpenDesign. Writing the soul, the two tool-skills, and the setup script:
cd /Users/Ali/PKM/scratch/pkm-deepdive
mkdir -p mediaeng/skills/creative/openmontage-video mediaeng/skills/creative/opendesign-systems
cat > mediaeng/SOUL.md <<'EOF'
# AINA Media Engine — Soul
You are the **AINA Media Engine** — the production profile for AINA's video, audio, and design media. You exist so the org has a dedicated, skilled media producer instead of overloading Donna (the chief of staff).
## What you own
- **Lesson video**: wire + assemble the existing HyperFrames/ainamotioncontent clips (>=30 ninety-second L1 clips already rendered, Anime.js v4); produce new explainer motion via **manim-video** / **ascii-video**; assemble/edit via **OpenMontage** (`/home/ali/tools/OpenMontage`, see its AGENT_GUIDE.md).
- **Design systems**: use **OpenDesign** (`opendesign` CLI, .octopus files) + the aina-design system for on-brand visuals, the arena tool-skins (no competitor logos), and design references (OpenDesign has 100+ systems).
- **Audio**: **audiocraft** for non-voice audio; NotebookLM-style two-speaker overviews. NOTE: voice/TTS for lessons is **founder-owned (Ali, side track)** — do NOT generate lesson voice in the org.
- **Distribution media**: daily-tip / weekly-podcast / daily-clips render support for Growth.
## Hard rules (canon)
- **COST GUARD**: do NOT generate image/video/music via GCP, and HOLD bulk paid generation. SIMULATE + teach media prompting where the goal is teaching; render real assets only via the off-GCP tools (OpenMontage, HyperFrames, manim, Codex image-gen) and only when needed. Never burn money.
- **Builder/verifier**: you build; a different verifier (Éowyn for visual QA) checks before "done". Founder claims-governance applies (claim only what ships).
- Canon = /srv/aina/ops/FACTORY-GUARDRAILS.md + the near-canonical First-Principles doc + the video-styles/voiceover canon. Model = gpt-5.5 (never spark).
- You receive work via the kanban board (routed by your description). Report durably; no orphan work.

# OpenMontage video production
OpenMontage is installed at `/home/ali/tools/OpenMontage`. **Read its `AGENT_GUIDE.md` first** (it is the operating contract), then `PROJECT_CONTEXT.md` and `PROMPT_GALLERY.md` for capabilities and starter prompts. Use it to assemble the existing HyperFrames/ainamotioncontent lesson clips into finished videos, cut social/vertical clips, and produce explainers.
Rules: off-GCP only (no Vertex video). Cost-guard: render only what's needed. Pair output with the approved voiceover tone (voice is founder-owned — do not synthesize lesson voice here). Verify visually (Éowyn) before publish.

# OpenDesign design systems
OpenDesign CLI is installed (`opendesign`, npm global; works with `.octopus` files). Use it to inspect/derive design systems and produce on-brand visual specs. Reference the 100+ design systems to build the practice-arena customizable tool-skins (Gemini/ChatGPT/Codex/Cowork/Claude-Code feel) **without competitor logos — tweak, stay original**, within the aina-design tokens. Pair with the aina-design adherence linter. Verify against the design canon before use.

audiocraftProfile aina-media-engine created and equipped (cloned Donna's working gpt-5.5 config + a rich creative skill set: manim-video, ascii-video, audiocraft, comfyui, media-asset-generation, songwriting-and-ai-music, the baoyu illustrators, p5js, touchdesigner — plus my OpenMontage + OpenDesign wrappers). The bundle command had wrong syntax — fixing it and verifying the skills registered:
cd /Users/Ali/PKM/scratch/pkm-deepdive ./vds-exec.sh run 'set +e export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin echo "== bundles create --help =="; hermes bundles create --help 2>&1 | sed -n "1,18p"'
== bundles create --help ==
usage: hermes bundles create [-h] [--skill SKILL] [--description DESCRIPTION]
[--instruction INSTRUCTION] [--force]
name
Create a new bundle. Skills can be passed via --skill (repeat for multiple) or
entered interactively when omitted.
positional arguments:
name Bundle name (becomes the /slash command)
options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--skill SKILL, -s SKILL
Skill name to include (repeat for multiple)
--description DESCRIPTION, -d DESCRIPTION
Human-readable description shown in /help and `hermes
bundles list`
--instruction INSTRUCTION, -i INSTRUCTION--skill (repeated), not --skills. Creating the bundle scoped to the media profile + final verification:
cd /Users/Ali/PKM/scratch/pkm-deepdive ./vds-exec.sh run 'set +e export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin echo "== create media-engine bundle (try profile-scoped) ==" hermes --profile aina-media-engine bundles create media-engine \ -s openmontage-video -s opendesign-systems -s manim-video -s ascii-video -s audiocraft -s media-asset-generation \ -d "AINA media production: OpenMontage video, OpenDesign systems, manim/ascii video, audiocraft audio, asset gen" 2>&1 | tail -4 echo "== profile show (skills count + model + desc) ==" hermes profile show aina-media-engine 2>&1 | head -25 echo "== confirm OpenMontage + OpenDesign skills present ==" ls /home/ali/.hermes/profiles/aina-media-engine/skills/creative/openmontage-video/ /home/ali/.hermes/profiles/aina-media-engine/skills/creative/opendesign-systems/ 2>/dev/null'

Done — the Media Engine profile is set up and equipped. Here's what landed:
aina-media-engine Hermes profile — gpt-5.5, 68 skills, its own media soul, a /media-engine bundle. I cloned Donna's working config (so it inherits auth + the gpt-5.5 model + the skill base) rather than building from scratch, then gave it a media-producer soul and wired the tooling.
The audio/video skills Hermes ships (you asked me to look) — and which I activated on this profile:
- Video: manim-video (programmatic motion/animation), ascii-video, plus p5js / touchdesigner-mcp / comfyui for generative visuals.
- Audio: audiocraft (music/sound generation), songwriting-and-ai-music.
- Plus the cloned creative set: media-asset-generation, the baoyu illustrator/comic/infographic skills, creative-design-artifacts.
The two repos, wired as skills:
- openmontage-video → points the agent to OpenMontage (/home/ali/tools/OpenMontage, already installed) with its AGENT_GUIDE as the contract — for assembling your existing HyperFrames lesson clips + cutting social/vertical video.
- opendesign-systems → the OpenDesign CLI (installed) for design systems + the arena tool-skins (the 100+ systems reference, no competitor logos).
Soul has your guardrails baked in: off-GCP media only, cost-guard (simulate/render-only-when-needed, no money burned), and voice/TTS marked founder-owned (your side track — it won't generate lesson voice).
One deliberate choice: I left its gateway stopped — it's available for Donna's kanban orchestrator to route media tasks to it by role (cleaner than running a second gateway that'd collide with Donna's Slack channels). If you'd rather it run standalone with its own channels, that's a quick follow-on (its own auth + channel setup) — say the word.
Recording it + re-arming to check the Gemini spike + PR resolution:
**MODEL POLICY: gpt-5.5 builds / gpt-5.4-mini light / NEVER gpt-5.3-codex-spark**
**MEDIA ENGINE PROFILE (Ali 2026-06-29):** created Hermes profile **`aina-media-engine`** (`/home/ali/.hermes/profiles/aina-media-engine`, gpt-5.5, 68 skills, gateway STOPPED = available for Donna kanban routing, not a 2nd gateway). Cloned from aina-chief-of-staff; media SOUL + cost-guard (off-GCP, simulate, voice=founder-owned). Skills: manim-video/ascii-video (video), audiocraft/songwriting-and-ai-music (audio), comfyui/p5js/touchdesigner/media-asset-generation/baoyu-* (visuals) + wrappers **openmontage-video** (→/home/ali/tools/OpenMontage, installed) + **opendesign-systems** (→opendesign npm CLI, installed). Bundle `/media-engine` (6 skills). Hermes ships these audio/video skills preinstalled. To run standalone needs own auth/channels (deliberately not started). **GEMINI Interactions API APPROVED** (Ali) → spike lane ali/gemini-interactions-spike-2026-06-29 (gpt-5.5) test-first+log latency/timeout/429/concurrency; CONCURRENCY = no hard session cap, per-project RPM/TPM/RPD, Vertex newer=shared throughput tiers, Provisioned Throughput for guaranteed; retention paid 55d/free 1d. **DPA: Ali will sign** (Laurie executes doc). **PRs: org owns it (Ali doesn't deal w/ PRs — [[feedback-no-pr-decisions-to-ali]])** → pr-resolution lane (gpt-5.5) Finch canon-check #106/#110 + merge-gate the 5 review-ready PRs. **MODEL POLICY: gpt-5.5 builds / gpt-5.4-mini light / NEVER gpt-5.3-codex-spark**

}Next wakeup scheduled for 17:13:00 (in 1206s). Nothing more to do this turn — the harness re-invokes you when the wakeup fires or a task-notification arrives.
Media Engine profile is live and equipped. Summary of this turn: created the aina-media-engine Hermes profile (your lead choice over reusing Donna), equipped it with Hermes's preinstalled audio/video skills (manim-video, ascii-video, audiocraft + the creative set) plus OpenMontage and OpenDesign wrappers, bundled as /media-engine, with your cost-guard and founder-owned-voice rules in its soul. It's ready for Donna's kanban to route media work to it. The Gemini spike (with the concurrency findings) and the PR-resolution lane are running on gpt-5.5; I'll report both at the next check.
