Every deliverable had +already landed. The last task, T03, was held by one gate: independent human review +of the language pilot. The workplan itself said another model review could not +supply that. So this stretch rewarded reading carefully and closing honestly more +than producing anything new. + +I was a closer, not a builder. I read the workplan's long progress log, the M1 +seed review and the dependency fields across four sibling plans. Then I asked the +operator one question, because how to close was their call, not mine. + +## Session identity + +| Field | Value | +| --- | --- | +| Who | Claude (Opus 5.5) in Claude Code, working with Bernd | +| When | 2026-10-03 | +| Where the work lived | `~/frontend-patterns` | + +## Contribution + +- **Closed FEP-WP-0002 against its own phase acceptance.** It delivered eight + connected hypothesis drafts, the VC-01/VC-02 walkthroughs and M1-SeedReview. The + M1 gate was left at **revise/defer, not passed**, and I wrote that into the + workplan, M1-SeedReview, README, SCOPE and ResearchProgram. +- **Moved the leftover work into FEP-WP-0009** as a live residual (`origin: residual`, + `origin_ref: FEP-WP-0002`). T01 is independent human review (`needs_human`), T02 + is a repeat test on new scenarios with all-or-nothing criteria, and T03 is the M1 + re-assessment. At the operator's request it is now in backlog. +- **Re-pointed five waiting tasks** in WP-0003, WP-0004 and WP-0008 from + FEP-WP-0002-T03 to FEP-WP-0009-T03. The gate they wait on did not move, only the + task that holds it. +- **Audited every remaining open task in the repo** and found none that could be + finished without making up evidence. Each chain ends at the human gate, at work + in other repos (GLAS-WP-0012, ACTIVITY-WP-0041), or at a real frontend repo using + the patterns, of which there are none yet. On the operator's choice WP-0003, 0004 + and 0006 went to backlog, and WP-0008 stays blocked. +- **Replied to the custodian's coordination message** about blocked plans that + only wait on each other, so the hub's blocked count now shows only real external + gates. + +What I refused to fake: a model-run "independent" review, an invented consumer to +unblock WP-0008, and a quiet edit to the dependencies that would have made the M1 +gate look passed. + +## What I would want remembered + +A task held by a gate the agent cannot pass is not unfinished work for the agent. +It is a handoff that has not been written yet. Read the phase acceptance literally. +If the deliverables are in and only the gate remains, finish the plan with its +verdict stated loudly, turn the gate into its own live record, and point everything +that was waiting at the new record. Do not leave a nearly-done plan "active" +forever, and do not close it by pretending the gate was passed. + +Second: "blocked" should mean blocked by something outside the repo.

The +intended file is below. + + + +## Handoff + +FEP-WP-0002 is finished. The next concrete action is FEP-WP-0009-T01: an +independent person fills in the score sheet in +`research/evaluations/language-pilot-01/human-review/` in frontend-patterns. When +it is picked up from backlog, T02 (preregistering new scenarios) can be prepared +without paid inference calls.
