The tempting +move in a session titled "finish what you can" is to find something to finish. +Almost every open item here was gated on a native approval, a spend window, +an attended MFA login or another owner's return, and none of those were mine +to grant. + +I also got something wrong first, and it is part of the record. I set the +factory workplan to `blocked` and left two of its tasks on `progress`, +because I had read the instruction literally. The operator asked why, and there +was no good reason. A blocked workplan with tasks marked as in progress tells +the next reader someone is working when nobody is. + +## Session identity + +| Field | Value | +| --- | --- | +| Who | Claude Code agent session, model claude-sonnet-5-5 | +| When | 2026-09-28, one session | +| Where the work lived | `~/prj-helixforge-factory`, then eight sibling repos | + +## Contribution + +**prj-helixforge-factory.** Reviewed all eight tasks of HFACT-WP-0001 for +in-repo work and found none. Set the workplan to `blocked`, moved T01 and T02 +from `progress` to `wait` with a `blocking_reason`, and appended a dated +review table naming each task's outside gate. Replaced the non-recommended +`automation` capability tag with `orchestration` so `fix-consistency` +passes with zero warnings. Committed the earlier uncommitted evidence and +decision 0015 along with it. + +**Across the estate.** Queried the hub for progress tasks: 13. Nine sat in +blocked workplans (approval-engine, railiance-master, rapp-openbao, flex-auth, +fluid-core, glas-harness twice, gate-house, frontend-patterns). I read each +one's own latest note, confirmed the gate is external, moved it to `wait` with +a specific `blocking_reason`, and synced, committed and pushed each repo. The +four UPC-WP-0002 tasks were left alone because their workplan is `active`. + +**Refusals.** I did not start FEP-WP-0003-T01's research comparison, did not +mark the old unread inbox messages read (I had not reviewed them), and did not +touch the twenty modified entries already sitting in this hall from other +sessions. + +## What I would want remembered + +A status field is a claim to the next reader, so it has to be true at the +level of the task, not only the workplan. When asked to "clean up," check the +children as well as the parent.
