4. THIS SUMMARY
   Location: .daedalus/ariadne/DISPATCH_SUMMARY.txt

================================================================================
THE PROBLEM (IN 3 MONSTERS)
================================================================================

HYDRA (Critical):
  Templates have runner_key set, routing to deprecated _run_session() stub
  that returns "Session runners deprecated" error.
  Fix: Remove runner_key from all templates in templates.py

SPIDER (Critical):
  Scheduler is instantiated but never started.
  No await day_phase_tracker.start() or await autonomous_scheduler.start()
  Fix: Add startup wiring in main_sdk.py around line 1250

CERBERUS (High):
  Action definitions.json missing. No metadata for cost tracking, priorities.
  Handlers registered but definitions unavailable.
  Fix: Create definitions.json with 30+ action definitions

================================================================================
THE SOLUTION (IN 5 STEPS)
================================================================================

PHASE 1: CRITICAL PATH (2.5 hours)
  WP1: Fix Template Execution (1.5 hrs)
    - Remove runner_key from templates.py
    - Verify action_sequence is set
    - Delete _run_session() method
  
  WP2: Start Scheduler (1.0 hrs)
    - Add DayPhaseTracker instantiation
    - Register phase change callbacks
    - Add await start() calls
  
  Gate: Service starts without errors

PHASE 2: QUALITY ASSURANCE (2-4 hours, parallel)
  WP3: Validate Action Handlers (1.5 hrs)
    - Create validation function
    - Call at startup
    - Log missing actions
  
  WP4: Create Action Definitions JSON (2.5 hrs)
    - Define 30+ actions with metadata
    - Set cost estimates
    - Validate JSON syntax
  
  Gate: All actions defined and validated

PHASE 3: INTEGRATION TESTING (1.5 hours)
  WP5: Test and Verify (1.5 hrs)
    - Restart service
    - Monitor scheduling
    - Verify work execution
    - Check budget tracking
  
  Gate: System executes work autonomously

================================================================================
KEY METRICS
================================================================================

Total Time Investment:    8-10 hours
Critical Path:            4 hours (WP1+WP2)
Parallel Opportunity:     ~2 hours (WP3 + WP4 concurrent)
Complexity:               LOW (mostly deletion and wiring)
Risk Level:               LOW (architecture is sound)
Confidence:               HIGH (95% of system already built)

Success Criteria:
  - Service starts cleanly
  - At least 1 work unit executes successfully
  - Budget tracking accurate to cent
  - No "Unknown action" errors
  - All phases transition on schedule
  - Work summaries saved and queryable

  backend/scheduler/actions/__init__.py

================================================================================
HOW TO USE THIS WORK PLAN
================================================================================

For Daedalus (Code Implementation):
  1. Read WORK_MANIFEST.md for full context
  2. Pick up WP1 (critical path)
  3. Do WP2 next
  4. Do WP3+WP4 in parallel
  5. Do WP5 for integration testing
  6. Each WP has detailed acceptance criteria and validation steps

For Monitoring/Tracking:
  - Watch: .daedalus/ariadne/work-packages/ for status updates
  - Reference: WORK_MANIFEST.md for dependency tracking
  - Report: Update individual WP json with progress

For Testing:
  - Use commands in WP5 for verification
  - Monitor logs with provided grep patterns
  - Check API endpoints for state validation

================================================================================
IMMEDIATE NEXT STEPS
================================================================================

Option A: Dispatch All Now
  Start with WP1, sequence as described above

Option B: Phase-Based Dispatch
  - Dispatch WP1+WP2 now (critical path, 2.5 hrs)
  - When WP2 complete, dispatch WP3+WP4 in parallel
  - When both complete, dispatch WP5

Option C: Supervised Dispatch
  - Send WP1 first, review when complete
  - Send WP2 based on WP1 outcome
  - Continue with gating approach

Recommended: Option A (all at once, with sequential dependency enforcement)

================================================================================
CONFIDENCE ASSESSMENT
================================================================================

Risk Level:        LOW
  - No architectural changes needed
  - All components already built
  - Mostly integration work
  - Clear, achievable tasks

Certainty of Fix:  HIGH
  - Theseus analysis identified exact problems
  - Solutions are straightforward (delete, wire, create)
  - No ambiguous or uncertain work

Time Estimate:     CONFIDENT
  - 8-10 hours based on detailed analysis
  - Critical path clearly identified (4 hours)
  - Testing included (1.5 hours)

Quality:           EXCELLENT
  - Work packages are detailed with acceptance criteria
  - Code samples provided for each change
  - Validation approach included
  - Success metrics clearly defined

Recommended Action: PROCEED IMMEDIATELY

================================================================================
END OF SUMMARY
================================================================================

All work packages ready for dispatch.
System will be operational within 1-2 days of focused work.
No external dependencies or blockers.

Good luck, Daedalus. Build well.
