Summary

Adds the canonical operational roadmap and machine-readable outcome map for Coven Automations v1 after the 2026-08-30 implementation assessment.

The roadmap:

  • distinguishes the landed local scheduler foundation from v1 certification;
  • defines canonical ownership across Familiar Contract, Threads, Psyche, Coven, runtimes, SDK, Cave, Beads, and GitHub;
  • maps every P0/P1 public outcome and its dependencies;
  • records the critical path and P2 boundary;
  • places execution tracking in Cave's existing embedded-Dolt Beads graph rather than creating a competing store in Coven;
  • provides a non-destructive Beads seeding, dependency-verification, sync, public-scrubbing, claim, and closure procedure;
  • defines tracker drift, release gates, evidence packets, metrics, and final definition of done.

The machine-readable map:

Safety

This PR does not hand-edit .beads/issues.jsonl, mutate the live Dolt graph, change runtime automation state, or grant unattended external authority. The live graph must be seeded through the supported pnpm beads:create / bd / pnpm beads:sync workflow in #5220 and verified before any beadId is committed.

Verification

  • documentation and declarative mapping only;
  • roadmap reconciled against the existing Cave Beads workflow and current cross-repository issue train;
  • machine-readable JSON is intended for deterministic validation/drift tooling;
  • exact CLI flags, accepted priority range, parent-link syntax, and dependency direction remain locally validated gates rather than assumptions.

* docs(program): re-verify Chat v1 Phase 2 gate working record

Re-verify every blocker of the Chat v1 Phase 2 gate (cave-8ywi2, #4839) on
dated, read-only evidence gathered 2026-08-30 via gh api.

Verdict: the gate cannot pass. Three of five blockers have closed since the
gate issue was written (cave-mfcsz #4834, cave-g9d49 #4835, cave-3yax4
#4836); two remain open (cave-ff3j6 #4837, cave-hjy2f #4838). The failing
criterion is 'all Phase 2 beads are closed'.

Facts only, no invented progress. Refs #4839.

* docs(program): record Chat v1 Phase 1 verified program status

Read-only verification (2026-08-30) of Phase 1 bead state for issue #4818
(cave-fz01p): per-bead table with owner repos, verified main-branch state,
evidence links and dates, remaining work, overall verdict against the
acceptance criteria, and the critical path through cave-tsvfj (#4830),
cave-p8qkk (#4780), and the Phase 1 gate cave-23nmv (#4833). No code or
workflow changes.

* docs(program): propose Research Cloud ownership decision record

Record Gate C0 (bead cave-6sles.13) as a PROPOSED decision record covering
hosted repository/account ownership, Cloudflare environments and bindings,
auth/tenant authority, budgets, retention, alerts, operators, staging
tenants, and deletion-test tenants. Every proposal is grounded in the
umbrella program and approved design; unresolved operational choices are
recorded as open questions. The hard gate stands: no cloud resource or
hosted endpoint before this decision is ratified.

* docs(program): record Chat v1 P1 native discovery status and claimable scope

Verified 2026-08-30 working record for cave-tsvfj / issue #4830: the
recorded blocker cave-9pifu closed 2026-08-22 (PRs #4840, #4875), and
OpenCoven/chat merged the Phase 1c native connection implementation plus
the Phase 1d real-authority conformance gate on 2026-08-28/29 (chat#31,
#34, #36, #38, #39, #30). Code search can no longer serve as evidence
for that repo (stale index). Remaining claimable work is evidence
closure: land open chat#41, produce the secret-scanned phase1-conformance
report at the locked revisions, and refresh the stale issue/bead records.

* docs(program): Chat v1 Phase 7 acceptance status and evidence runbook

Issue #4781 (cave-udcn7) asks for the three-OS acceptance journey, staged
rollout, and rollback drill. The journey is manual by design — no-source-checkout
installs on real machines — and this environment is a Linux host without a
desktop session, so what can be delivered now is the verified status record and
the evidence runbook that makes the human execution checkable.

Verified read-only, 2026-08-30:
- cave-j65ie: tracker #4820 open (its predecessor #4778 was closed the same
  day as an accidental repository-issue conversion); the Chat v1 signed
  installers and published @opencoven/* packages its criteria require do not
  exist yet (chat has no releases/tags; npm returns 404 for all five packages).
- cave-as76u: no mirror card in any visible surface; identified by dependency
  position with the plan's Cave-side compatibility row and marked derived.
- Cave-side rollback machinery verified live: release-rollback-readiness
  reports ready=true for baseline v0.3.11 with 4/4 updater platforms, and
  verify-release-updater passes end-to-end against the v0.3.12 release.

The runbook adds what the existing docs leave implicit: the per-step evidence
artifact for every journey step and every global CLI command, the regression
conditions that stop rollout, and the rollback-drill evidence checklist.
Anything not stated in the plan of record or the landed workflow docs is
marked derived.

* chore(ci): retry tooling for the four stuck July Actions runs

Runs 30158074443, 30158074458, 30158095776 and 30158095786 have been
queued since 2026-07-25; both cancellation endpoints returned HTTP 500
through 2026-08-10. On 2026-08-30 they return HTTP 403 to a PAT without
actions:write, so the backend error has changed and the next retry
should run under a token that holds it.

- scripts/cancel-stuck-action-runs.mjs: manual retry tooling (not wired
  into CI). Tries /cancel then /force-cancel per run with retries and a
  doubling backoff on transient failures, polls the resulting status,
  prints a per-attempt and final status table, and exits non-zero while
  any run remains queued. Defaults to the four run IDs; never deletes
  workflow history.
- docs/stuck-action-runs.md: the run list, the HTTP-500 history, the
  2026-08-30 HTTP-403 retry record verbatim, the instruction not to
  delete workflow history, and the close condition.
- docs/README.md: index the new document (Living / Integrity and
  integrations).

* docs(program): re-verify Chat v1 Phase 1 gate working record

Re-verify the Phase 1 discovery-and-pairing gate working record
(cave-23nmv, #4833) read-only as of 2026-08-30, superseding the
2026-08-22 recorded state.

The 2026-08-22 basis ("no Phase 1 implementation exists on main") is
stale: all five blocking beads now have implementations merged on their
owner repositories' main branches (cave-9pifu via #4840/#4875,
cave-lf7bu via sdk#54, cave-p8qkk deliverables via sdk#30/#54,
cave-tsvfj via chat#31/#36/#38/#39, cave-0prpu harness via chat#30).
The gate verdict remains cannot pass: trackers #4830 and #4780 are
still open with no owner-recorded closure, the register-defined
phase1-conformance report is not a durable verifiable artifact, and
gate closure is a Beads-database state this docs-only record cannot
perform. The record states exactly what evidence closes the gate.

* docs(program): Chat v1 Phase 7 rollout verified status record

Verified 2026-08-30 read-only against the Phase 7 plan of record and
program register in OpenCoven/chat, the tracker issues in
OpenCoven/coven-cave, coven-cave origin/main (dacbe61), and default
branches of OpenCoven/chat, OpenCoven/sdk, and OpenCoven/coven.

Records the per-bead state of Phase 7 (cave-j65ie, cave-mbekl,
cave-gcb0i, cave-563z7, cave-as76u, cave-udcn7, gate cave-ilh1h, plus
execution beads cave-0wg and cave-7yo), the landed Cave-side artifacts
(PRs #4785/#4782/#4789), owner-repo artifact probes, and a verdict
against issue #4820's acceptance criteria: beads not all closed (two
mirrors open, three beads without tracker issues, closures to date
accidental) and no gate record of passing commands and artifacts.
Documents the earlier-phase dependency chain that gates Phase 7.

* docs(program): record Chat v1 P2 shell working record and claimable scope

Verify (2026-08-30) the Phase 2 shell blockers and the actual
implementation state in OpenCoven/chat, then decompose the remaining
work into claimable, testable items for the implementing repo.

- cave-mfcsz (#4834) and cave-3yax4 (#4836) verified closed with
  delivery evidence, plus gate context (#4839/#4838 residuals)
- shell state corrected from "not started": a first canonical shell
  landed 2026-08-28 (chat#31) and was repaired 2026-08-30 (chat#40);
  search verified absent across the whole stack
- claimable scope for conversation list, filters, search, canonical
  transcript, and conformance, ordered fixture-first

  authoritative.
- Dependency beads cave-p8qkk.1 / cave-bt9wx / cave-fz01p mapped to
  tracker issues 4780/4818/4833; cave-bt9wx has no tracker record.
- coven-cave daemon-side contract verified at dacbe61 (startup
  contract gate, socket discovery, fail-closed validation).

* docs(research): record the X API spec as shipped in its status header

The Status section still opened with "awaiting maintainer review and does
not authorize implementation" while the body of the same document — and
main — tell a different story: the cave-8i8q5 MVP shipped, and the
cave-uajyn reconciliation (2026-08-24) already rewrote the sections the
code departs from. A document that both "does not authorize
implementation" and documents exactly what implementing it shipped is
contradicting itself in its first paragraph; this replaces that paragraph
with the state the rest of the document already records, and names what
still actually gates a release — the native-room pass and the live X
smoke evidence the Acceptance audit section lists.

* feat(podcast): pack section bullets into cadence-safe breath-unit turns

Issue #4689 item 1. The podcast drafter collapsed every section's bullets
into one run-on narration unit (`details.map(speakable).join(" ")`) and only
split it mechanically at 1,000 characters, so a whole section was read as a
single continuous narration unit — the flat, declination-prone delivery the
issue describes.

Details now keep their source shape: adjacent bullets pack into spoken turns
of at most one breath unit (400 characters, the published show's median
spoken turn), a single detail over the 1,000-character conditional trigger
splits at clause boundaries the source already contains (sentence, then
`;`/`:`/dashes, then comma, then word), and a well-formed detail under the
trigger is never force-split — the issue measured that splitting a 115-word
well-written turn caused the very pitch decline the cap exists to prevent.
Nothing is reworded: turns are the source's own sentences re-joined with
single spaces.

The conditional trigger is the design the issue review asked for before item
1 could land; a blanket word cap was measured to degrade well-written prose.
All shaping sits before the TTS seam and is provider-agnostic — local
Piper/Kokoro renders receive the same bounded segments. Items 2-4
(voice_settings, podcast model decoupling, cross-segment context) already
landed in #4706/#4765/#4926; item 5 (rewrite stage) remains follow-up.

* feat(bridge): versioned OpenClaw gateway negotiation and fail-closed tool events

Extend the bridge contract in src/lib/openclaw-bridge.ts with versioned
gateway/bridge event negotiation (issue #4892, first slice: gateway/runtime
version and schema hash discovery). streaming/toolEvents become negotiated
per-conversation outcomes instead of static implementation flags:

- negotiateOpenClawBridgeSession validates a discovery record (version, wire
  protocol, catalogs, discovered AgentEventSchema hash) against validated
  compatibility profiles and returns either structured capabilities (supported
  version -> validated schema + profile) or a degraded plain-chat outcome with
  a granular, value-free diagnostic (unsupported gateway version, unsupported
  wire protocol, schema hash not declared by any validated profile, tool-event
  contract not offered, discovery unavailable).
- validateOpenClawBridgeSchemaHash is the schema-hash validation hook: a
  discovered hash may only back new event shapes when a validated profile
  declares exactly it, so concurrent schema versions (built-in plus a verified
  registry refresh) can be negotiated side by side.
- OpenClawBridgeNegotiationLedger provides rollback protection: only validated
  outcomes are recorded per conversation, degraded turns never adopt an
  unvalidated schema, and a later valid discovery restores structured mode.
- createOpenClawBridgeToolProjector projects validated tool events onto bridge
  events with stable ids and bounded inputs/outputs; the first unknown event
  settles open calls, emits one visible value-free diagnostic (shape
  fingerprint only, never payloads), and pauses projection fail-closed.
- RuntimeBridge gains an optional negotiateSession member.

Fixture-based conformance tests cover the supported-version happy path
(running/completed/error with stable ids and inputs/outputs), unsupported-
version fallback (authentic beta4 plus a fixture future gateway), unknown-
event fallback, schema-hash mismatch rollback, and concurrent schema
versions. No live OpenClaw calls, no stdout parsing, no new dependencies.

* feat(automations): project daemon run state with honest stale/degraded/offline semantics

Slice 1 of the Coven Automations human-oversight contract
(coven-cave#5217): a pure, fixture-tested client projection of the Coven
daemon's authoritative automations state, plus the run-state mapping
fixes that make today's projection honest.

- daemon-projection.ts: a bounded reducer over authoritative contacts
  (snapshots, run histories, changefeed events, unavailable spans).
  Deduplicates canonical event ids (bounded FIFO window), refuses
  impossible sequence regressions, and fails closed on unreadable
  payloads — an accepted envelope advances only the cursor, never state.
  automationProjectionFreshness derives live/degraded/stale/offline from
  recency and the last failed contact; isStaleRunObservation flags
  in-flight runs that may no longer be live without ever inventing a
  terminal outcome. The state is derived data only — Cave projects, it
  never authors run state.
- The daemon's RoutineRun vocabulary carries , and the runs
  route passes it through: teach the compatibility type, the shared
  status color/icon maps, and the run-now card that. A cancelled run
  previously rendered as an unknown-status dot and kept the live-run
  card in "Running…" forever; it now settles with a prohibit mark.
- research-missions: ResearchAutomationLink.lastRunStatus shares the
  same vocabulary, and its parser accepts what it now stores.

Upstream PR #5219 owns the Automations v1 roadmap documents; this lands
the first code slice beneath it.
