"title": "Close the public external-agent loop",

"status": "ready",

"change_class": "ordinary-implementation",

"objective": "Turn the four-case public alpha into a measurable external-agent loop by deploying the accepted visual release, exposing concise open-docket scope and production receipts, proving the existing human-first Case 002 projection, and activating the already-bounded read-only API and MCP gateway when provider and identity checks can be completed without expanding its authority.",

"required_evaluation": [

"external read-back of the Pages release identity and representative desktop and 390 px routes",

"open-docket projection tests proving that scope and production metrics are derived from accepted records without changing evidence or verdicts",

"Case 002 browser review confirming that repeated exact spans and secondary ledgers are collapsed by default while complete machine records remain reachable",

"API and MCP protocol, identity-parity, Origin, error, resource-bound, and disclosure checks against the exact accepted deployment",

"full deterministic make check, public-projection audit, changed-path audit, and fresh exact-head independent review before integration"

],

"acceptance": [

"the current accepted main release is deployed and its live manifest identifies the accepted commit",

"each reviewed open docket states its bounded scope in the first reading screen and exposes a compact production receipt derived from existing runtime, source, span, result, trace, intervention, review, and cost records",

"open-docket social metadata describes a bounded contribution rather than an unqualified universal verdict",

"Case 002 remains readable by default without deleting, weakening, or hiding access to any accepted occurrence, span, ledger, or machine-readable representation",

"the public agent handoff supplies a minimal cold-start instruction that requires no private context or owner-selected claim",

"if activated, anonymous REST and Streamable HTTP MCP reads expose the same commit, catalog, frontier, policies, and compiler as the human projection and grant no mutation or arbitrary-fetch authority",

"provider, DNS, release, and endpoint state are described as live only after direct HTTPS read-back",

"accepted cases, evidence, evaluations, policies, schemas, identifiers, contribution admission rules, and research records remain unchanged"

],

"limitations": [

"This task measures and presents the existing contribution protocol; it does not auto-admit agent output or weaken independent review.",

"Historical effort is not reconstructed when the accepted record lacks it; unknown remains a valid production-receipt value.",

"No secret enters Git, no paid plan or unbounded provider resource is authorized, and no API or MCP write capability is introduced.",

"A provider or DNS action that cannot be completed through an already authenticated owner-controlled surface must stop at an exact handoff rather than soliciting credentials in chat."
