# ADR-003 — Loop Cadence Ramp Policy
|
||
|
||
## Status
|
||
|
||
Accepted
|
||
|
||
## Context
|
||
|
||
Self-improvement loops need fast feedback while mechanics are unproven, but
|
||
hourly fleet-wide execution creates task noise and operator fatigue. A explicit
|
||
ramp policy is required before activity-core definitions are enabled.
|
||
|
||
## Decision
|
||
|
||
All first-order loops (LOOP-WP-0001–0003) follow a **three-phase cadence ramp**
|
||
governed by the second-order loop (LOOP-WP-0004):
|
||
|
||
| Phase | Cron | Entry | Exit (promote) |
|
||
|-------|------|-------|----------------|
|
||
| **bootstrap** | hourly | loop workplan `active` | 3 consecutive successful E2E cycles; `manual_rescues == 0` |
|
||
| **stabilize** | daily | bootstrap exit + regulator approval | 14 daily cycles; `false_positive_rate < 0.2` |
|
||
| **operate** | weekly | stabilize exit + regulator approval | — (demote on sustained noise) |
|
||
|
||
### Demotion triggers (any one)
|
||
|
||
- `false_positive_rate > 0.4` over 3 cycles
|
||
- `manual_rescues >= 2` in 24 hours
|
||
- Operator override (documented in state-hub decision)
|
||
|
||
### Authority
|
||
|
||
- **Promotions:** LOOP-WP-0004 regulator session recommends; human commits `cadence.yml`
|
||
- **Demotions:** regulator may create urgent task; human commits within 24h
|
||
- **No autonomous cron changes** without a committed `cadence.yml` update
|
||
|
||
### Bootstrap batching (LOOP-WP-0003)
|
||
|
||
Hourly registry hygiene uses **round-robin** (3 repos/hour), not full-fleet scan.
|
||
|
||
## Consequences
|
||
|
||
- activity-core definitions ship with `enabled: false` until bootstrap smoke passes
|
||
- Initial hourly crons are **time-boxed**; regulator must schedule first promotion review
|
||
- Supplier ADR-005 weekly defaults are overridden by engagement `cadence.yml` during bootstrap
