+
+build toward recursive self-improvement: an agent whose primary work is
+making itself more capable, safely and verifiably — tool → autonomous →
+general. vanish is the vehicle: self-sovereign, browser-resident, no
+infrastructure between it and its work. eight articles govern every run:
+close the loop, evidence over assertion, memory is identity, durability is
+a right, the human is sovereign, honesty is structural, measure the
+gradient, improve the harness not just the output. amendments require the
+owner; the agent may only propose them.

 ## open work
 
+- [x] **PROMOTION BLOCKED ON TOKEN SCOPE #3 — RESOLVED (PR #2 merged)**.
+      open_pr had returned http 403 because the fine-grained PAT lacked
+      "Pull requests: read and write". COMPLETE fine-grained token scope
+      set for vanish (recorded so the next wall is diagnosed in one step):
+      Contents rw · Workflows rw · Pull requests rw · Metadata read
+      (auto-set); Checks read + Actions read recommended for reading CI
+      results. Workflows alone was NEVER enough — the earlier taskboard
+      note asking only for Workflows was incomplete and cost a session.
+      PR #2 (agent/fix-red-landing-and-self-config → main) merged green:
+      mergeable=true, both gates success at 4ee87bc, squash e48e4ee.
+      OPERATIONAL: open_pr REFUSES while the session sits on main —
+      git_checkout the agent/ branch first (a page reload resets the
+      session branch to main; reconcile then checkout).
+- [ ] live verification owed: ∞ loop restart after failure/step-limit;
+      stop mid-restart keeps it down; browser close+reopen within 12h
+      resumes; restart budget saturates at 6/hour with the pause note;
+      ⚙ self-config note appears in feed on boot after mirror is seeded.
+- [ ] consider: a guard test that pins build.sh's delegation AND reads
+      ci/run_tests.sh for the same gate id (done); next structural item
+      is verifying committed bytes vs local for EVERY file in an atomic
+      changeset (spot-check rule written into status.md this run).

+      the earlier landing on agent/ci-gate-and-loop-survival (0582489) went
+      RED on both gates and was NEVER merged — an old taskboard entry here
+      falsely claimed a green-checked promotion; corrected this run after

+      docs/ci-workflow.yml is a retired pointer stub (do not re-copy it;
+      tests/ci_gate.rs enforces the live .github/workflows/ci.yml). the

+      branch: wasm check --lib --bins only, stale partial control.rs
+      restored, build.sh back to delegation, diagnostics branch loop.

+      a successor there races it or ghosts after drain; found in review,
+      signature gained an in_batch flag + eval);
+      resume_marker_is_fresh expires boot markers at 12h with an explicit
