FI-WP-0001 — Lab operating foundation

Goal

Make Freedom Intelligence operable for daily research and model reserve work before automation: pin backup storage, document sources and hardware envelope, ship a daily-brief playbook, and close gaps left after the foundation docs (INTENT.md, SCOPE.md, briefs/, inventory/).

Baseline field survey lives in research/2026-07-24-baseline-field-survey.md and seeds collection candidates under inventory/catalog/.

Depends on

• Foundation docs already present (2026-07-23)
• Baseline research (this session) — source of first collection candidates

Parallel / follow-on

• FI-WP-0002 — activity-core daily cadence (after playbook exists)
• FI-WP-0003 — execute reserve seed under collection policy (after storage pin)

Tasks

T01 — Sources allowlist for daily research

id: FI-WP-0001-T01
status: done
priority: high

Create docs/sources-allowlist.md with standing channels for axes A–D:

• Frontier: provider blogs, pricing pages, LMSYS/Arena notes, major model cards
• Open weights: Hugging Face org watchlist, official GitHub releases
• Methods: arXiv categories (cs.LG, cs.CL, cs.AI, cs.SE), Unsloth/axolotl/TRL notes
• Harness: OpenHands, Aider, SWE-agent, sand-boxer-adjacent ecosystem
• Explicit do not scrape / license caution list

Done when: allowlist exists and is linked from briefs/README.md.

T02 — Daily brief playbook (manual first, automation-ready)

id: FI-WP-0001-T02
status: done
priority: high

Write docs/daily-brief-playbook.md:

• Step sequence: scan allowlist → draft from template → collection candidates → optional hub progress event
• Completion evidence shape: event_type=fi_daily_brief, detail.repo, detail.date
• Idempotence: one brief per calendar day (Europe/Berlin)
• Quality bar aligned with briefs/_template.md and INTENT principles
• Pointer that first automated day starts from baseline survey, not empty memory

Done when: an operator or agent can produce a brief without reading INTENT end-to-end.

---

T03 — Hardware envelope draft

id: FI-WP-0001-T03
status: done
priority: medium

Write docs/hardware-envelope.md with honest TBD for unmeasured hosts, plus working assumptions for “homelab accessible” (consumer GPU tiers, CPU-only floor, multi-GPU lab class). Used by inventory hardware_class fields and axis B/C prioritization.

Done when: envelope doc exists; operator can fill measured VRAM/host rows later without schema changes.

---

T04 — Pin backup storage path and soft quota

id: FI-WP-0001-T04
status: todo
priority: high

Operator task: fill TBD fields in docs/backup-storage-policy.md:

• facility / host
• base path (…/freedom-intelligence/models/)
• soft quota
• access method
• pin log entry

Create empty models/ and staging/ on that facility.

Done when: policy has no critical TBD for path/quota; FI-WP-0003 may download.

---

T05 — Link baseline research into lab navigation

id: FI-WP-0001-T05
status: done
priority: medium

• Point README.md / SCOPE.md at research/2026-07-24-baseline-field-survey.md
• Note that first daily brief is a delta from this baseline, not a second full survey
• Ensure inventory candidates from the survey are present under inventory/catalog/

Done when: navigation and catalog seed are consistent with the survey.

---

Acceptance (workplan-level)

• Sources allowlist + daily playbook + hardware envelope drafted
• Backup storage path and soft quota pinned (T04 — operator)
• Baseline research persisted and linked
• Catalog candidates seeded for recommended models

Out of scope

• Enabling activity-core schedule (FI-WP-0002)
• Bulk model downloads (FI-WP-0003)
• State Hub domain registration for freedom-intelligence as a full domain
