The rename to aloop shipped early in v0.11.0 | in progress: `bin/aladdin` + `/aladdin` with `aloop`/`agentic` aliases (test: `aladdin-cli.test.py`); natural-language auto-trigger on every host (`intent-trigger`, test: `intent-trigger.test.py`); README reordered product-first; site at `docs/index.html` (Pages switch is the owner's). evidence ledger `docs/evidence/README.md` + `run-summary` (test: `evidence.test.py`). `e2e-live.sh --host codex|opencode` runs the same loop on those hosts (`aloop install <host>` into the run repo, then `codex exec --json` / `opencode run --format json`; `--dry-run` prints the command; test: `e2e-live-hosts.test.py`). Open: the measured public runs themselves (this environment has no `codex`/`opencode` CLI: run `make e2e-live YES=1 HOST=codex` and `HOST=opencode` on a machine with both and add the rows; reason: a number we cannot measure is not published) Mac release run (2026-10-19) found two bugs Linux CI never sees, both fixed with tests: `stats sprint-close` counted 0 attempts when the project sat behind a symlink (macOS `/var` → `/private/var`; paths are now compared by realpath), and `make conformance` hung when another aloop checkout's `plugin/bin` was ahead on PATH (`ensure-tools --resolve` returned that checkout's shim; any aloop bin dir is now skipped). RED is now verified on any language: a non-cargo repo runs its `standards.md` matrix's test command, and a RED whose tests pass or do not collect is blocked (pytest, `go test`; test: `any-language.test.py`). Reason: the north star is any intent, and RED was dynamically checked only for Rust. GREEN and the final gate now refuse Python/Go/JS skips, and the final gate finds a planned `def`/`func` test (before, it found only `fn`, so every planned Python test blocked). `INTENT=slugify` is the Python fixture. Run 36 (slugify, the first Python run): 11/12, 11m37s, $0.83, 5 wakes, 0 plugin-source reads, 15 blocks (9 caught by self-checks). The sprint merged a correct `slugify` with 13 passing tests and the final gate passed. The one failed check was the fixture's own: bare `pytest` leaves the repo root off `sys.path` (now `python3 -m pytest`). It found two gate bugs that Rust runs had hidden. First, a worker's worktree has no `docs/agents/` (git-ignored), so the gates never found `standards.md` and ran the default Rust matrix: RED blocked 4 times on `cargo fmt`, and in a Rust project a custom matrix was silently swapped for the default. Second, `ctx-symbols conflicts` walked the merged task checkout under `.aladdin/worktrees/` and reported `slugify` as a HIGH duplicate, so the structural reviewer was rejected 4 times. Fixed with tests: the gates read the story's sprint `standards.md` (else this tree, else the main tree), and a non-cargo project with no matrix blocks with a message naming `standards.md`; ctx-symbols skips `.aladdin/`. Run 37 on these fixes: 12/12, 9m42s, $0.69, 1 wake, 11 blocks (7 caught by self-checks). It found that a `standards.md` whose matrix is a table parses empty, so RED blocked 3 times; `gate-standards-cited` now refuses a standards.md with no runnable `## Gate matrix` block (test: `any-language.test.py`). Run 38 (`INTENT=roman`, the first Go run): 12/12, 14m15s, $1.02, 3 wakes, 9 blocks (7 caught by self-checks). It found that the sprint dir's `init.md` had no `type: init` header (the supervisor began it with a dispatch block), so the structural reviewer was blocked 7 times; `aloop budget contract` now writes that header (test: `budget-contract.test.py`). Run 39 on the fix: 12/12, 7m52s, $0.56, 0 init.md blocks. It found that GREEN's default scope let it touch Rust test files only, so a Go GREEN removing RED's `_test.go` shim was blocked 10 times; GREEN now shares RED's any-language test globs (test: `any-language.test.py`). Run 40 on it: 12/12, 13m03s, $0.75, 1 wake, 0 GREEN scope blocks (5 blocks, all caught by self-checks). The structural reviewer's HIGH foundation-poisoning finding in runs 38 and 40 was a false positive: a worker's `selfcheck` resolved a stale 0.11.0 `ctx-symbols` (before the `.aladdin/` exclusion) ahead of the session's current build; `ensure-tools --resolve` now skips a stale own build (test: `ensure-tools.test.py`). RED is verified on JS too (a test file that cannot load what it imports is blocked; test: `any-language.test.py`), and `INTENT=camel` is the JS fixture. Run 41 (camel, the first JS run): 12/12, 6m45s, $0.56, 1 wake, 2 blocks (both RED self-checks refusing a source edit). The loop is now measured on Rust, Python, Go and JS. Run 42 (`INTENT=extend`, the first brownfield intent: add `compare` to a crate whose `parse` already works and is tested): 13/13, 7m11s, $0.67, 2 blocks (both self-check catches); the seed's code and tests were left unchanged and still pass (reason: every earlier fixture started from an empty library, and most real intents land on existing code). Run 43 (`INTENT=modify`: change that existing `parse` to accept a leading `v` and trim whitespace): 13/13, 9m10s, $0.67, 6 blocks, all self-check catches; the change was 3 lines in `parse`, with its signature and seed tests kept. `INTENT=cli` (an application: a wc-like binary tested by running it, checked by running the merged binary) is ready; run 44 (the retry after the usage limit lifted): 13/13, 24m55s, $1.54, 6 blocks (all self-check catches), and the merged binary works. Its cost came from planning: 2 stories and 7 tasks for a small tool, so 7 RED/SCAFFOLD/GREEN cycles and 56 supervisor turns (runs 42–43: 1–2 tasks, 16–30 turns). The planner now sizes tasks up to the budget instead of one per behaviour (reason: per-task cost is a fixed ~8 supervisor turns). Run 45 on it: 3 tasks (from 7), 13/13, 16m22s, $1.07. Its HIGH foundation-poisoning halts were `ctx-symbols` reading a test's `const USAGE` as a duplicate of the binary's; a test constant no longer counts (test: `conflicts.rs`). Run 46 on both fixes: 3 tasks, 13/13, 15m19s, $0.99, no review halt, 6/6 blocks self-check catches. Its 4 `targets` "symbol is not defined" blocks were T3 modifying symbols T2 plans in an existing file; a symbol another target plans now counts (test: `semantic-targets.test.py` case 8). Run 47 on it: 13/13, $1.04, 2 blocks (from 6), no "not defined"; but 5 tasks in 2 stories, so planner task count still varies. The spread is now bounded: before execution, `targets check` refuses two adjacent tasks of one story on the same files with 8 or fewer tests between them (replayed on past plans it would have merged runs 23, 40, 43, 44 and 47 and passed every other; test: `semantic-targets.test.py` case 9). Run 48 on it: 2 tasks, 13/13, $0.76, 25 supervisor turns (run 44: 7 tasks, $1.54, 56). One GREEN self-check block in each of runs 46–48 was a false positive: the Rust suppression grep matched an iterator's `args().skip(1)` (a JS pattern); Rust now checks only `#[ignore]` (also with a reason, which it used to miss) and `cfg(not(test))` (test: `suppression-contract.test.py`). Planner friction next: across runs 36–41 the most frequent block was `targets` "cr

eate needs planned_symbol" on a new test file (8); a test-file create now takes it from the task's `tests` (test: `semantic-targets.test.py`). The `gate-validate-artifact` plan.md refusals (4) were the persona's bare `stage: 1`, now quoted and checked (test: `persona-shapes.test.py`). Next: the final-gate block order (3). Running every suite under a locally built bash 3.2 found that the `standards.md` gate matrix was silently replaced by the default Rust matrix (`mapfile` does not exist in bash 3.2). It is fixed and guarded by `bash-portable.test.py`. A `macos` CI job now runs the host tests and the conformance fixtures on macOS (reason: both were found only by hand on the owner's Mac). |

Next: M10.2 dependency audit (`cargo audit`, `npm audit`, `pip-audit`, `govulncheck`) in the final gate's matrix, which needs the standards role to write it and the tool on the host; M10.4 done: `aloop stop [REASON]` stops every agent of the project at its next tool call on every host (the check sits in `budget hook pre`), `mission tick` answers STOPPED, and only the human's own terminal clears it (`stop --clear`; events `run.stopped`/`run.resumed`; test: `project-stop.test.py`). `--clear` refuses the agent shells of all four hosts (`CLAUDECODE`, `DSH_SHELL`, `CODEX_THREAD_ID`, and `ALOOP_AGENT_SHELL` once M9.31 makes the OpenCode plugin export it). With a mission ledger the stop and its clear are ledger rows too (`run.stopped`, `run.resumed`), so a fresh clone stays stopped (hooks and `tick`) until the human clears it there (`project-stop.test.py` check 8); M10.1 and M10.3 planned; plan approval as a gate is M0.9 |
