From 33c07a1093994bbcf2f273513b712611e82c742f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Srinivasan Parthasarathy Date: Sun, 24 May 2026 07:54:20 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 01/30] feat: add SDKDispatcher and --agent sdk flag (#121) Replace the subprocess(claude -p) transport with the Claude Agent SDK behind a new --agent sdk flag. CLIDispatcher remains the default; sdk mode is opt-in until soak time validates parity. Why: claude -p is blind for up to 7200s, has no native streaming, no programmatic prompt caching, no native subagent spawning, and retries by subprocess restart (loses message context). The SDK fixes all four. What lands: - orchestrator/sdk_dispatch.py: SDKDispatcher extends CLIDispatcher, overrides only _call_claude and preflight_check. Reuses the parse / validate / retry-with-feedback machinery for fenced-output phases. - A pluggable sdk_runner Protocol (SDKResult dataclass) is the seam for behavioral tests and for #122/#127 follow-ups (cache_control, stream-json) that need to read SDK events. - Default runner lazily resolves to the real claude_agent_sdk so environments without the SDK installed don't fail at import time. - CLI/argparse choices extended to ["inline", "api", "sdk"] in cli.py, campaign.py, iteration.py (parser declarations and dispatch routing). - Pre-flight check in campaign.py routes to SDK preflight when sdk mode. - pyproject.toml gains an [sdk] optional extra: claude-agent-sdk + anyio. - docs/architecture.md describes the new path. Behavioral tests (tests/test_sdk_dispatch.py): 6 cases covering text phase output, structured phase parse+validate, transient retry, retry exhaustion, and is_error -> retry. All assertions are about on-disk artifacts and metrics rows; none assert call shape, argv, or which method was invoked on the runner. Out of scope for this PR (queued in #120 plan): - Prompt caching (#122). - Stream-json TUI (#127). - Removing claude -p (post-soak cleanup). Test suite: 344 passed (existing) + 6 new = 350. Closes #121. Refs #120.

charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Ship bin/nous-execute-stop, a Python entrypoint suitable for use as a Claude Code Stop hook. It tells the harness whether the executor agent is allowed to terminate, based on objective evidence on disk: * exit 0 (allow stop) when: - principle_updates.json exists in $NOUS_ITER_DIR - `nous validate execution --dir $NOUS_ITER_DIR` returns pass * exit 2 (block stop) otherwise, with a structured reason on stderr so Claude Code feeds it back into the agent's conversation and the next turn fixes the artifact rather than restarting. Why deterministic over probabilistic: the existing /goal evaluator (Haiku post-turn) is right for fuzzy success criteria, but execution completion is a schema check — cheaper, faster, and immune to evaluator drift to have a deterministic shell-out. The two coexist; #124 wires /goal for fuzzy gating, this hook handles the schema gate. Wire-up: the orchestrator exports NOUS_ITER_DIR before launching the executor session, and the per-campaign .claude/settings.json (which lands in #135) registers this script under hooks.Stop. This PR ships just the script so it can be installed manually today. Behavioral tests (5): * pass case: valid iter dir + principle_updates.json -> exit 0, no stderr * block: principle_updates.json missing -> exit 2, stderr names the file * block: corrupted findings.json -> exit 2, stderr includes the schema diff * block: NOUS_ITER_DIR points at non-existent dir -> exit 2 with reason * block: NOUS_ITER_DIR unset -> exit 2 with config-error reason Tests use StubDispatcher to populate a known-passing iter dir, then mutate it to simulate failure modes. Assertions describe what the hook emits (exit code + stderr substrings) — never which functions it called. Test suite: 338 baseline + 5 new = 343 passing. Closes #129. Refs #120.

The orchestrator's pure renderer (orchestrator/settings_template.py) takes work_dir, repo_path, and an optional experiment_plan, and returns a dict suitable for serialization as .claude/settings.json. The contents: - permissions.allowOnly: campaign work-dir and target repo path. Anything else is denied by default. - permissions.allow: Bash command allowlist — conservative defaults plus any binaries pulled out of experiment_plan.yaml arm conditions, plus caller-provided extras. - permissions.deny: hard blocks for outbound https (curl/wget) and catastrophic shell commands (rm -rf /). - hooks.Stop: registered when bin/nous-execute-stop is present (#129 integration). - hooks.PreToolUse: registered when caller provides the path (#128 hook). setup_work_dir() now writes the rendered settings file at init time, idempotently (won't clobber a hand-edited file). CLIDispatcher auto-detects work_dir/.claude/settings.json on construction, and when present passes --settings to claude -p instead of --dangerously-skip-permissions. SDKDispatcher already accepted settings_path in #121 — wire-up matches. Behavioral tests (tests/test_settings_template.py): 14 cases. Renderer contract: - allowOnly contains work_dir - allowOnly contains repo_path when provided - default bin allowlist contains python, git, grep - plan binaries (./blis, /usr/local/bin/sim) are added by basename - extra_bin_allowlist extends defaults - deny blocks outbound https - hooks section absent unless hook paths provided - Stop hook registered with absolute path - PreToolUse hook registered with Bash matcher Disk write contract: - write_campaign_settings creates parent dir + writes JSON - settings_path_for returns .claude/settings.json under work_dir Init wiring contract: - setup_work_dir writes the file when fresh - setup_work_dir does NOT overwrite a user-customized settings file Replacement invariant (the security property): - rendered settings impose non-empty allowOnly AND non-empty deny (otherwise the file is functionally equivalent to --dangerously and the swap is a regression). Out of scope: the "out-of-worktree write is denied" criterion is an integration test against a live claude session and is verified manually. docs/security.md describes the model end-to-end. Test suite: 338 baseline + 14 new = 352 passing. Closes #135. Refs #120.

It intercepts proposed Bash tool calls during the executor session and decides whether to allow them based on the iteration's experiment_plan.yaml. Decision protocol: * NOUS_PLAN_ENFORCEMENT=strict: exit 2 (block) if the proposed command's head binary is not the head binary of any planned condition. Stderr explains the violation; the agent reads it and is expected to either revise the command or annotate "# nous: ad-hoc" to opt out for one call. * NOUS_PLAN_ENFORCEMENT=warn (default): always exit 0 (allow), but record violations to /plan_violations.jsonl with timestamp, kind, command, and best-effort arm attribution. * Escape hatch: a command containing the literal "# nous: ad-hoc" is allowed in BOTH modes and logged as kind:"ad-hoc" so reviewers can audit how often it's used. Why this exists: 5/18 mech-design-enforcement showed two executor processes racing on the same iter dir, partly because nothing inside the agent enforced the plan. Hooks intercept tool calls deterministically before the LLM acts — defense in depth on top of #135's permission policy. Wire-up: setup_work_dir registers the hook automatically when bin/nous-plan-enforcer exists, alongside the Stop hook from #129. The .claude/settings.json template (#135) already supports pre_tool_use_hook_path; this PR connects the wire. Behavioral tests (8 in tests/test_plan_enforcer_hook.py): Strict mode: - allows a planned binary's command (different args still match by head) - blocks an unplanned binary with stderr naming the violation - allows ad-hoc-marked commands AND logs them distinctly Warn mode: - allows unplanned and logs to plan_violations.jsonl - does NOT log planned commands No false positives: parametric over four representative plan shapes (single-arm/condition; multi-condition; multi-arm; absolute path) — every planned command is allowed in strict mode. Edge cases: - missing NOUS_ITER_DIR: fail open (cannot enforce what we can't compare against) - non-Bash tool calls (Read, Write, etc.): pass through, no log Stacked on #135 (security/135-permission-policy). Rebase onto reflective once that lands. Test suite: 352 (post-#135) + 8 new = 360 passing. Closes #128. Refs #120.

Phase B (refactor prompt templates to omit methodology when CLAUDE.md is in scope, the actual token-shrink win) is queued as follow-up. What lands here: * orchestrator/claude_md.py: pure renderer + disk writer. render_campaign_claude_md(campaign, principles, last_handoff, iteration) returns the full markdown text. Sections: Research Question, Target System (name/description/metrics/knobs), Active Principles (filtered to status=="active"), Most Recent Handoff. Header carries an explicit "auto-generated; do not hand-edit" notice so reviewers don't accidentally orphan their changes. * regenerate_from_disk(work_dir, campaign, iteration) reads principles.json + handoff.md from work_dir and writes a fresh CLAUDE.md. Pure Python, never an LLM call. * orchestrator/campaign.py: writes initial CLAUDE.md after setup_work_dir so iter 1's session starts with the campaign brief in scope. * orchestrator/iteration.py: regenerates CLAUDE.md after every _merge_principles, so iter N+1 sees the principles produced by iter N. Best-effort — a write failure logs at warning and does NOT abort the iteration. Behavioral tests (13 in tests/test_claude_md.py): Generator contract: - research question appears in output - target system summary (name, description, metrics, knobs) appears - Active Principles section filters out status="retired" entries - first iteration shows "no prior handoff" placeholder - provided handoff text and iteration label appear in section heading - "auto-generated"/"Do not hand-edit" warning is present Disk write contract: - file lands at work_dir/CLAUDE.md - successive writes overwrite atomically Regenerate-from-disk contract: - principles.json contents appear in the rendered file - handoff.md contents appear in the rendered file - iter N+1 principles section reflects updates that landed in iter N - missing principles.json or handoff.md doesn't crash; placeholders show through Init wiring: - setup_work_dir + regenerate_from_disk produces a CLAUDE.md at the work_dir root containing campaign brief + principles. What's NOT in this PR (deferred to a follow-up; see PR body): * Refactoring prompts/methodology/design.md and execute_analyze.md so the methodology is OMITTED from per-call prompts when CLAUDE.md is auto-loaded. That's the actual token-shrink win called out in issue acceptance criterion #2 ("Iteration N+1 prompts are measurably smaller"). It's a non-trivial template surgery and needs careful behavioral verification on real campaigns; landing it separately keeps the diff reviewable. * Auto-memory integration for cross-run learnings. Test suite: 338 baseline + 13 new = 351 passing. Refs #120, #131. Issue stays open pending Phase B.

Configured channels (Slack incoming-webhooks or generic JSON webhooks) receive a markdown card when the orchestrator hits a HUMAN_DESIGN_GATE or HUMAN_FINDINGS_GATE. The campaign still blocks on terminal input for the actual decision — Phase B (a follow-up) wires reply parsing. Why split: the outbound path is straightforward HTTP and stdlib-only; reply handling needs adapter-specific logic per channel (Slack interactive messages, Telegram bot polling, etc.) and a state machine to wait for replies with timeout/auto-approve fallback. Shipping Phase A unblocks the unattended-run UX (you see the gate on your phone) without locking in design choices for the bidirectional layer. What lands: * orchestrator/channels.py: notify_gate(channels, summary, gate_type, iter_dir) — POSTs a markdown card per channel. Phase A supports two kinds: - "slack": JSON {"text": } to webhook_url - "webhook": JSON {"markdown": } to url with custom headers Per-channel failures are isolated: a Slack webhook 5xx logs at warning and the campaign keeps running. * Configuration goes in campaign.yaml under top-level `channels:`, a list of dicts each with `kind` plus channel-specific fields. The orchestrator's gate-summary call site picks them up — no new CLI flag needed. * Wired into iteration._generate_gate_summary so design and findings gates both fire the notification when channels are configured. Test design choice: notify_gate accepts a `poster` injection seam (matching the internal _post signature) used by tests instead of real urllib.request.urlopen. That lets the 8 behavioral tests assert on what's POSTed (URL, body content, headers) without touching the network — and without coupling tests to specific stdlib internals. Behavioral tests (8 in tests/test_channels.py): No channels: - None config: no-op, returns [] - empty list: no-op, returns [] Slack channel: - posts to webhook_url with JSON {"text": markdown} - markdown card includes gate_type, summary text, key points, iter dir, and approve/reject/abort instructions Generic webhook: - posts to url with custom Authorization header - JSON body uses {"markdown": ...} key Error isolation: - first channel raising OSError doesn't break the second - unknown kind records error in results, never raises Markdown card shape: - iter_dir basename appears (so reviewers can find artifacts) - summary text appears even when key_points is empty All assertions are about what was sent over the wire (captured by the recording poster). None inspect internal helpers or which dispatcher function ran. Test suite: 338 baseline + 8 new = 346 passing. Refs #120, #130. Issue stays open pending Phase B (reply handling).

Phase A ships the pure-function layer that the eventual stdio MCP transport will wrap: list_campaigns, search_principles, get_arm_results, compare_iterations. Each function takes a search/campaign root on disk and returns JSON-friendly dicts/lists; no MCP runtime dependency, no network, no global state. Why split A/B: shipping the pure functions first means * the CLI can use them too (a future "nous list", "nous find-principle" has zero new code to write — just argparse plumbing), * Routines (#134) can publish findings into the same store via the same API, * the MCP transport choice (stdio JSON-RPC, the mcp Python SDK version pin, etc.) is a separate review without coupling to the indexing logic. Phase A surface: list_campaigns(search_root, *, query, status, repo) -> [summary] Walks search_root for campaign roots (state.json + ledger.json), filters by run_id substring / phase / repo, returns sorted summaries. completed_iterations comes from ledger; active_principles filters by status=="active" so retired entries don't inflate the count. search_principles(search_root, text, *, only_active) -> [hit] Case-insensitive substring match against statement / description / category / id. Default skips retired. Sorted by (run_id, principle.id). Embedding-based search noted in the issue is gated on OPENAI_API_KEY and ships as Phase B. get_arm_results(campaign_root, iteration, arm) -> {seeds: [...]} Reads runs/iter-N/results///. Returns relative file paths, sorted, so MCP clients have stable references. compare_iterations(campaign_root, iter_a, iter_b) -> {a, b, delta} Deterministic diff: arm_status_changes, principles_added. Calling twice on the same data must produce byte-equal output — no timestamps, no map iteration order leaks. The acceptance criterion for #126 explicitly calls out determinism. Out of scope (Phase B): - The stdio MCP server itself (bin/nous-mcp, ~/.claude.json snippet). - Embedding-based semantic search behind OPENAI_API_KEY. Behavioral tests (17 in tests/test_campaign_index.py): list_campaigns: - returns three synthesized campaigns with expected counts/phases - query="saturation" filters down to that one run - status="DONE" filters by phase - active_principles count excludes status=="retired" entries - results are sorted by run_id (determinism) - empty search root returns [] - repo path resolves to when work_dir was created at /.nous/ search_principles: - finds principle by substring in statement - case-insensitive - skips retired by default; only_active=False includes them - sorted by (run_id, principle.id) — determinism get_arm_results: - aggregates multiple seeds with file listings sorted - missing arm returns empty seeds list compare_iterations: - arm status change appears in delta; unchanged arms don't - principles_added is a sorted set difference between iter updates - byte-equal output across repeated calls All assertions describe what the function returned given on-disk inputs. None inspect helper invocations or internal walk order. The walk implementation can change freely as long as the contract holds. Test suite: 338 baseline + 17 new = 355 passing. Refs #120, #126.

Why: 5/18 mech-design-enforcement showed ghost iter-N-XXXX directories lingering as worktrees for hours after their owning processes died. The harness-managed Agent(isolation="worktree") path (the issue's main thrust) lands as part of #123 (parallel-arm subagents); until then, this GC closes the visible loop where stale worktrees accumulate. GC heuristic: * Walk /.nous-experiments/. * For each entry older than max_age_seconds (default 1h): - if .nous-pid is recorded and that PID is alive, keep it. - otherwise, untrack via git worktree remove --force, rm -rf the dir, and clean up the matching nous-exp-* branch. * Return the list of experiment_ids removed (sorted). Phase B (deferred to #123): switch from manual create_experiment_worktree + remove_experiment_worktree to harness-native Agent(isolation="worktree") on per-arm subagents. That collapses the lifecycle entirely; LoC reduction of worktree.py (the issue's >=60% acceptance criterion) lands then. Behavioral tests (8 in tests/test_worktree_gc.py): - no .nous-experiments dir: returns [] - old worktree with no .nous-pid: removed - recent worktree: kept - old worktree with live PID (injected pid_check): kept - old worktree with dead PID (injected pid_check): removed - .nous-pid file with garbage contents: treated as no PID, removed - mixed old/recent set: only old removed, sorted - zero leftover after batch GC (the explicit issue criterion) Tests inject fake clock (`now=`) and fake pid_check, so they're deterministic across machines and don't depend on real PIDs/time. Test suite: 338 baseline + 8 new = 346 passing. Refs #120, #133. Issue stays open pending Phase B (#123 lands the harness-isolation switch).

Adds the measurement infrastructure for prompt caching: * orchestrator/cache_stats.py: aggregates llm_metrics.jsonl into a hit-rate summary. Reads the cache_creation_input_tokens and cache_read_input_tokens fields that both CLIDispatcher (since #41) and SDKDispatcher (#121) emit. Per-call rows are split into three buckets — uncached / creation / read — and the overall hit rate is read / (uncached + creation + read). By-phase breakdown surfaces DESIGN-vs-EXECUTE_ANALYZE asymmetry. * `nous cost --cache-stats` flag prints the hit-rate summary alongside the existing usage breakdown. Users see the cache benefit empirically. Why ship the measurement before the cache_control tweak: criterion #2 of #122 ("On a representative 5-iteration campaign, total input tokens decrease by ≥ 25% vs the pre-change baseline") is something we have to *measure*, not just assert in a unit test. Once #121 lands and the SDKDispatcher's runner factory marks the methodology system block as ephemeral-cached (a one-line change to the ClaudeAgentOptions construction), the hit-rate stats here are how we verify the win on a real campaign. The cache_control marker itself is in scope for the runner factory in #121's sdk_dispatch.py — it's set when the methodology prompt is passed as the system_prompt. SDKDispatcher already accepts a system_prompt constructor arg; wiring it to the methodology text ships in a follow-up once we decide on a simple injection point that doesn't disturb the prompt_loader API for non-SDK paths. Behavioral tests (8 in tests/test_cache_stats.py): Empty / robustness: - missing file: zeroed summary, total_calls=0 - empty file: same - corrupt JSONL lines are skipped, valid lines still counted - missing token fields treated as zero (no KeyError) Hit-rate math: - cold call (creation only) + warm call (read only): hit_rate is read / (uncached + creation + read) - all-zero rows produce hit_rate=0.0 with no division-by-zero By-phase: - separate buckets for design vs execute-analyze with independent hit rates Formatting: - format_cache_stats includes hit rate, by-phase breakdown, and is human-readable Tests assert on returned dict structure (the contract the CLI consumes), not on which JSONL parser it used or how it grouped rows internally.

Phase A ships the deterministic status surface that the CLI hooks into: * orchestrator/status.py: read_status_snapshot(work_dir, *, now, stuck_threshold_seconds) builds a StatusSnapshot from state.json, ledger.json, principles.json, and the most recent runs/iter-N/executor_log.jsonl event. Stuck flag flips when the last log event is >5 minutes old. * format_one_liner(snap) renders the snapshot as a single line for shell prompts and CI logs. Stable across two consecutive calls when no new events arrived (the property prompt-embedders rely on). * format_watch_panel(snap) renders a multi-line panel for nous status --watch. Plain text in Phase A — the redraw loop just clears + reprints. Phase B can swap in rich/textual without changing the snapshot contract. * CLI: nous status now supports --watch (loop + redraw at --interval seconds, default 2s), --line (single-line summary), and the existing one-shot mode (now using format_watch_panel for consistency). What lands later in Phase B: the SDK event tee — sdk_dispatch.py appending each --output-format stream-json row to executor_log.jsonl as the session runs. The status reader here already consumes that file when present, so flipping the SDK switch lights up the watch panel without code changes. Behavioral tests (13 in tests/test_status.py): read_status_snapshot: - minimal state-only campaign - completed_iterations counted from ledger.json (≥1 only) - active_principles excludes status="retired" - last_event picked up from executor_log.jsonl; elapsed_since_last_event computed from injected now= - stuck flag flips after 5 minutes of silence - corrupt state.json doesn't crash; defaults to "?" - corrupt JSONL lines in executor_log are skipped, valid lines win format_one_liner: - single line, no newlines - STUCK marker appears when set - byte-stable across two calls on same snapshot (prompt-embedder contract) format_watch_panel: - multi-line panel includes phase, iteration, principle count - STUCK warning rendered distinctly - "(no events yet)" placeholder when log absent Tests inject now= and explicit os.utime on the log file so they're deterministic across machines and don't depend on real wall-clock.

Phase A ships the payload builder so users can dry-run-validate exactly what would be registered with the Routines API. Phase B (when the API stabilizes) wires the actual POST and Routine ID return. Why split A/B: the Routines API is an Anthropic infrastructure feature; its surface area and authentication story will move while it stabilizes. Decoupling payload construction from the POST means we can ship the shape, soak it on real campaigns, and integrate the transport later without rewriting the payload. Phase A surface: build_routine_payload(campaign, *, campaign_path, schedule, pr_label, mcp_refs, extra) -> dict Trigger: cron schedule (UTC) OR PR label, not both. ValueError on conflict / missing. Campaign reference: campaign_path resolves to an absolute path the Routine re-reads on each fire, OR campaign_inline embeds the full config dict if no path is given. Credentials: a placeholder string (${secret:anthropic_api_key}) — never the real key. The Routines runtime resolves from its own secret store. MCP refs (depends on #126): list of nous://... URIs the Routine subscribes to and writes findings into. Behavioral tests (10 in tests/test_routines.py): Schedule payload: - cron string lands in trigger.expression - name falls back to run_id - command line includes --auto-approve and --agent sdk - credentials are placeholders, not real secrets - MCP refs pass through PR-label payload: - pr_label lands in trigger.label Validation: - missing trigger raises ValueError - both triggers raises ValueError Campaign reference: - campaign_path produces path reference, omits inline - no path inlines the full campaign dict Out of scope (Phase B): - HTTP POST to the actual Routines API - Returning the Routine ID after registration - nous routine create CLI subcommand (currently a builder only) Test suite (this branch, stacked on #126): 355 + 10 new = 365 passing.

Behavioral tests (7 in tests/test_plugin_package.py): Manifest: - plugin.json exists with required fields (name, version, description, skills list) - at least 5 skills listed (acceptance criterion) - every listed skill file actually exists on disk Frontmatter: - every skill has name + description in YAML frontmatter - descriptions include "use when" / "when the user" cues so Claude Code can match user intent — vague descriptions are dead skills - every skill body references either a nous command or campaign_index Coverage: - all six documented skills present (nous-run, nous-status, nous-resume, nous-list, nous-bisect, nous-find-principle) Out of scope (Phase B): - claude plugin install integration testing (requires a live Claude Code install with plugin support) - publishing to a plugin registry - skill argument templating (currently shell substitution; could move to typed inputs once plugin contract stabilizes) Test suite: 338 baseline + 7 new = 345 passing.

The Haiku post-turn evaluator decides when the goal is met. No Python state machine in the inner loop. Mode B — /goal-bounded inner loop: keep engine.py for control flow, but use /goal *within* EXECUTE_ANALYZE so the executor terminates as soon as validation passes. Phase A is the prompt assembly. Wire-up into the dispatcher and the run_campaign code path lands in Phase B once the team picks the default. Why the prompt builders matter: criterion #2 of the issue ("hybrid mode is the default for nous run after one release of soak time") implies the team will run both modes side by side on real campaigns and compare. Behavioral testing of the prompt assembly — does it include the campaign brief, does it spell out the goal predicate exactly — is what makes those soak runs comparable. The /goal directive itself is just a string, but it has to be the *right* string or the Haiku evaluator can't decide. Phase A surface: build_full_goal_directive(campaign, *, iteration, timeout_hours): Returns the predicate text for Mode A. Asserts on: - findings.json exists with non-empty arms list - principle_updates.json exists and parses as a list - OR timeout exceeded (default 24 hours). build_inner_loop_goal_directive(iteration, *, extra_predicates): Mode B predicate. Asserts on schema validation + principle_updates presence. Pairs with the deterministic Stop hook (#129) — the hook catches the schema check, the /goal evaluator catches edge cases the schema doesn't cover. build_goal_driven_session_prompt(campaign, *, iteration, timeout_hours): Full Mode A prompt body. Includes campaign brief, required artifact paths, EXPLICIT instruction to print artifact paths to stdout (the Haiku evaluator only sees what's been surfaced in the conversation), nous validate invocation, and the /goal directive. Behavioral tests (10 in tests/test_goal_driven.py): Full directive (Mode A): - predicate names iter-N/findings.json + principle_updates.json - timeout clause appears with the configured hours - uses AND/OR logic correctly Inner-loop directive (Mode B): - uses schema-validation language (findings.schema.json) - extra predicates AND-chained Session prompt (Mode A): - campaign brief (research question, target name, metrics, knobs) appears - iteration number appears consistently across artifact paths - EXPLICIT "print to stdout" instruction (the evaluator can't see silent file writes) - nous validate execution invocation present - /goal directive appears in the prompt Out of scope (Phase B): - --goal-driven flag on nous run / nous resume - Dispatcher integration (SDKDispatcher launching the goal-driven session) - run_campaign code path that bypasses engine.py for Mode A - Claude Code v2.1.139+ version detection at startup Test suite: 338 baseline + 10 new = 348 passing.

Phase A ships the orchestration layer that makes splitting DESIGN into Stage A (parallel Explore subagents) + Stage B (Opus synthesis) possible without changing what gets produced (problem.md + bundle.yaml). DESIGN today asks one Opus session to do both codebase mapping AND bundle synthesis. That's the canonical Claude-Code-pattern miss: broad exploration + small synthesis is exactly what parallel Explore subagents are for. Phase A is the orchestration helpers; Phase B (lands when #121 merges and the team picks injection points) wires the SDKDispatcher to actually spawn Explore subagents and thread reports through to the synthesis call. Phase A surface: * DEFAULT_EXPLORE_SCOPES — four scopes the issue calls out: metrics, knobs, prior_findings, principles. Each gets its own Explore subagent. * build_explore_prompt(scope, campaign) — produces a tight, scope-focused prompt for a read-only Explore subagent. Multi-aspect integration is NOT this prompt's job (Stage B does that). * run_explore_stage(campaign, *, scopes, runner) — fans out one subagent per scope via an injected runner callable, collects ExploreReports. Synchronous in Phase A; the SDK's async fan-out lands in Phase B. * build_synthesis_prompt(stage_a, *, campaign, iteration, iter_dir) — Opus prompt that consumes only the Explore reports + principles.json, produces problem.md + bundle.yaml, EXPLICITLY forbids re-reading the codebase ("Do not re-read"). That's the whole point of the split: Opus on integration, not on file walks. Behavioral tests (13 in tests/test_explore_design.py): build_explore_prompt: - metrics scope focuses on observable metrics - knobs scope focuses on configuration parameters - prior_findings references findings.json - principles references the principle store - EVERY scope marks the explorer read-only (the prompt is defense-in-depth on top of subagent_type="Explore") run_explore_stage: - one subagent per default scope (4 calls) - custom scopes pass through - token counts aggregate across reports - by_scope() lookup returns the right report build_synthesis_prompt: - every explorer report appears under its `### ` heading - explicit "Do not re-read" instruction - problem.md + bundle.yaml + iter-N + bundle.schema.yaml all named - research question appears Out of scope (Phase B): - SDKDispatcher integration (spawning subagent_type="Explore" via SDK) - anyio.gather over the four explorer calls for actual parallelism - Token-budget measurement on a representative campaign (criterion "DESIGN cost drops by ≥30%") - Wall-clock measurement on multi-aspect explorations Test suite (this branch, stacked on #121): 344 + 13 new = 357 passing.

Anthropic's API marks system blocks above the cache threshold as cached, so the second phase call within a 5-minute window reuses the rendered preamble instead of re-paying for it. The dynamic context (research_question, observable_metrics, principles, handoff) stays in the user message — that's what BUSTS the cache when it should bust (per-iteration changes), and that's what HITS the cache when content is stable (within-iteration designer→executor handoff). Two new behavioral tests: * runner receives preamble: assert system_prompt contains both methodology blocks with placeholders stripped. * two consecutive calls reuse the same system_prompt: this is the property the cache relies on (otherwise cache_read_input_tokens stays at zero).

The runner appends one JSONL row per SDK message so `nous status --watch` (the snapshot reader from Phase A) lights up without any further changes. Implementation: * SDKRunner Protocol gains optional event_log_path arg; the default runner factory tees every message via _tee_event before processing. * _tee_event records {type, ts, tool_name?, tool_use_id?, content?}, serializability-probing each surfaced field so SDK message-class evolution doesn't break the writer. Failures are best-effort. * SDKDispatcher.dispatch override computes work_dir/runs/iter-N/ executor_log.jsonl and resets after dispatch so a later call from a different iteration doesn't reuse the wrong path. Two new behavioral tests (in test_status.py since the contract this verifies is the snapshot reader's input): * runner receives the iteration-specific event_log_path. * each iteration gets its own event log (no cross-iter leakage). The Phase A status reader from #145 already consumes this file when present, so warm-watch sessions now reflect tool-call events within the redraw interval (~2s).
