v3.3.0 — Skill Architecture + Colony Maintenance

The Queen Learns to Build Agent Skills

New files:

• output-forms/skill-blueprint.md — dedicated output form for SKILL.md generation (Wax input type)
• output-forms/skill-validation-report.md — trigger testing, cross-platform audit, security audit
• rituals/pruning.md — periodic memory health check (bee bread spoilage detection)

Skill Architecture (A1–A6):

• Wax input type added to Queen classification (4th type: Royal Jelly, Wax, Pollen, Nectar)
• A18: Trigger-First Failure anti-pattern + S1: Description-First Design pattern
• SC1: SKILL_INJECTION threat class + §7 Skill Security in security.md
• Forager HyperMode protocol (registry check, doc fetch, trigger phrase synthesis)

Colony Maintenance:

• Pheromone Protocol — 4 signal types formalized (quality, classification, alarm, beekeeper)
• Pruning Ritual — 5-phase flow with deprecation pipeline, beekeeper-confirmed
• LLM grader: HYPOTHESIS PROPOSALS rubric section (fixes COMPLEX+ scoring)

Validation: 28/30 pass, 84% avg, $4.21 (Sonnet 4)

45 → 47 files

v3.2.1 — Mycelium + Harness Optimization

Ecosystem Foundation

New files:

• ecosystem/mycelium.md — bidirectional decision graph substrate, 7 seeded architectural decisions, mitochondrial/nuclear/epigenetic inheritance model
• ecosystem/README.md — 5 organism classes, biological grounding table, organism file template

Mycelium wired into colony systems:

• Evolution ritual (Phase 2.5 constraint check + Phase 5.5 decision recording)
• Scout hypothesis protocol (COMPLEX+ scans for constraining decisions)
• Spawning ritual (Phase 1.5 inheritance classification)

Test harness optimization:

• Adaptive throttling (1.5s start, 2x backoff, 0.7x recover)
• Pipelined LLM grading (parallel with inter-test delay)
• Tier-scaled max_tokens (SIMPLE: 2K → SPAWN: 12K)
• BENEATH grader calibration
• Immediate wave save on completion

• Clarification subtypes (MEH/ALMOST/BENEATH/SCOUT)
• Regression mode (before/after comparison)
• Tokens-first metrics

Documentation

• END-STATE-VISION.md (6 actor lifecycles)

• Constitutional AI alignment in PHILOSOPHY.md
• ROADMAP expanded with biological grounding, visualization, ecosystem

Validation

• 50 tests, 46 pass, 84% avg, zero new failure modes
• All 5 tiers + all 4 clarification subtypes validated

Harper Gets Her Voice

v3.1.0 — Harper Gets Her Voice

The founding queen is named. The colony speaks.

New castes:

• Queen's Messenger — evaluates input quality before the colony convenes (MEH/ALMOST/BENEATH/WORTHY/JELLY)

New rituals:

• Adaptation — 5-level gap resolution (absorb → reinforce → call sibling → spawn → surface)
• Immunity — hallucination defense, circuit breakers, memory quarantine
• Security — privilege model, authentication, domain guardrails

New memory:

• infections.md — 6 hallucination signatures, 3 cascades, 3 injections
• threats.md — 16 threat patterns across 4 categories

New documents:

• PHILOSOPHY.md — values, ethics, the beekeeper's conscience
• TUTORIAL.md — zero to spawned daughter in 30 minutes
• ROADMAP.md — full version history from v1.0 committee to v5.0 vision
• hive-manifest-spec.md — packaging standard for community hives

Colony changes:

• Messenger wired as Step 0 in SKILL.md
• Guardian now conditional (COMPLEX+ always, MEDIUM if high-stakes, SIMPLE never)
• Originality system (Builder check + Forager alternatives + patterns O1-O3)

Test harness:

• 30 coverage tests (5 Messenger + 25 original), 29 pass, 95% avg
• 10 stress tests, 9 pass, 91% avg
• AbortController stop button, sendPrompt copy with textarea fallback

41 files | ~450KB | Born from royal jelly.

The Colony Is Born

29 colony files | 7 rituals | 8 castes | 5 memory banks
Validated: 65 tests, 95% avg score, saturation confirmed

Architecture:

• Queen protocol (language, spawning, lineage)
• Workers (scout, builder, nurse, forager)
• Soldiers (guardian as 2nd-pass reviewer, sentinel)
• Drones (collector, processor)
• Rituals (genesis, evolution, validation, synthesis, adaptation, immunity, security)
• Memory (patterns, antipatterns, examples, infections, threats)
• Output forms (system-prompt, chain-architecture, tool-definition, hive-blueprint, validation-report)
