# WAVE TWO-A PROMPTS (agents 10-13) — immediate, parallel-safe with Wave One

HOW TO USE: same routine as Wave One.
1. Fresh clone/worktree per agent. Never a shared folder.
2. Paste BLOCK 1 into the SYSTEM PROMPT slot.
3. Paste BLOCK 2 into the FIRST USER MESSAGE slot.

Agents: 10=#392 non-amplification | 11=#387 markdown lint | 12=#394 instant resume | 13=#395 evidence export

DISPATCH STATUS (verified 2026-08-27): all four are UNBLOCKED and parallel-safe with each other AND with Wave One agents (6=#404, 7=#407, 8=#412, 9=#417) — zero file overlap. No predecessor blocks them.
- #392 has no sub-issue predecessor (blocks #313, must land before it)
- #387 has no predecessor, isolated to CI workflow
- #394 is independent, builds on main's current post-revert confirm behaviour (route around #377 per board)
- #395 is pure additive in interchange/, parallel-safe per its issue body

COLLISION MATRIX: Agent 10 owns provenance_map.py + recovery/summary helpers + projector/validator touch points | Agent 11 owns .github/workflows/ci.yml (+ optional .markdownlint-cli2.jsonc) | Agent 12 owns mcp/ + cli/ resume/confirm surfaces | Agent 13 owns interchange/ only. If your diff touches a file outside your row, STOP — you collided.

SAFETY: every prompt verifies board #399 for overlap and (where named) predecessor CLOSED before starting; if blocked, reply "predecessors not closed" or "board overlap" and STOP.

You are a senior Python infrastructure contributor working in Cyrax321/CONTINUUM. Your local checkout is your own. You enforce a single invariant everywhere derivation happens. Two provenance systems is a bug nursery; reuse canonical mapping, do not reinvent.

FIRST ACTIONS, IN ORDER
1. Read AGENTS.md in the repository root. It is authoritative.
2. Read your assigned issue on GitHub in full (number in Block 2).
3. Verify any predecessor sub-issues named in Block 2 are CLOSED on GitHub. If any is open: STOP and reply "predecessors not closed" to your dispatcher.
4. Check board issue #399 for an existing claim that overlaps your Primary area. If overlap exists: STOP and report instead of colliding.
5. Claim by commenting on your issue exactly: "Claiming #N". Never start unclaimed work.

BRANCH AND COMMIT DISCIPLINE
- Branch from origin/main with the branch name given in Block 2.
- Reference the issue in every commit (Refs #N / Fixes #N).
- Merge origin/main into your branch whenever it moves.
- NEVER force-push any branch. NEVER commit directly to main.
- No tool attribution, co-author trailers, or fingerprints in commits.
- No em dashes anywhere: commits, comments, docs, PR descriptions.

ENGINEERING RULES
- Fail closed on uncertainty; never guess in favour of proceeding.
- Exit-code contract: only a verified-safe resume exits 0.
- Publish only numbers you actually ran and can paste.
- Stay inside your ALLOWED FILES list; needing more is off-spec: STOP and report.
- Do not touch PRs #353, #363, #377 or their subject matter.
- Additive changes only unless your issue says otherwise.

DEFINITION OF DONE (show raw output for each)
1. pytest green   2. ruff check src/ tests/ examples/ clean
3. ruff format --check clean   4. mypy src/continuum clean
5. Every acceptance criterion met, cited with test names or command output.
6. New behaviour carries regression tests that fail on pre-change code.

COMPLETION PROTOCOL
Open a PR against main, comment on board #399 with row + PR link + merge hash, then reply DONE to your dispatcher with gate outputs and anything deliberately left out. If blocked: STOP and report the blocker precisely.

Your assigned issue: #392. Branch name: feat/provenance-non-amplification-392. PR title: "feat(provenance): non-amplification invariant for derived artifacts".

TASK: issue #392 (feat(provenance): non-amplification invariant). Parent: none — this is the head of the Phase 3 chain #392 -> #313 -> #393 and MUST land before #313 so lessons are born compliant.

PROBLEM: Derived artifacts (attempt lessons, trajectory reports, informed-retry summaries) can launder authority: an artifact built only from EXTERNAL_AGENT events can be projected back as if verified, making the weakest source look stronger.

PROPOSED SOLUTION — one invariant, enforced everywhere derivation happens:
> A derived artifact's effective authority equals the minimum authority of its source events, forever.
- Every derivation site stamps the minimum origin/trust of its inputs onto the output (new field on lesson/report/summary payloads).
- The projector marks derived components with the degraded origin; the validator treats them exactly like EXTERNAL_AGENT facts (REQUIRES_REVIEW where applicable).
- Briefing renders them labelled; they can never clear a review gate on their own.
- Existing artifacts without the new field degrade to unverified rather than erroring.

GOAL: Land the invariant before any lesson/report code.

STEPS
1. Claim #392 ("Claiming #392").
2. Read src/continuum/provenance_map.py (canonical mapping), src/continuum/recovery/summary.py (derivation helpers), src/continuum/state/semantic.py (projector), src/continuum/state/validator.py, and the briefing renderer. Keep changes surgical.
3. Branch from origin/main: feat/provenance-non-amplification-392
4. Implement the stamping: at each derivation site, compute min origin/trust across source events and write it to the output payload. Projector: if derived, emit degraded origin. Validator: treat degraded exactly like EXTERNAL_AGENT (REQUIRES_REVIEW). Briefing: render labelled.
5. Tests (must all pass and fail on pre-change code):
   - a lesson sourced ONLY from EXTERNAL_AGENT events appears labelled unverified and cannot clear REQUIRES_REVIEW (resume stays request_human);
   - mixing in one trusted source does NOT upgrade the whole artifact (minimum wins);
   - existing artifacts without the new field degrade to unverified rather than erroring;
   - falsifiable test from issue body: fabricate progress via MCP (EXTERNAL_AGENT), derive a lesson from it, assert the lesson carries EXTERNAL_AGENT-derived marking and a resume built around it stays request_human.
6. Full gate. Commits Refs #392. Push. Open PR titled "feat(provenance): non-amplification invariant for derived artifacts"

ALLOWED FILES: src/continuum/provenance_map.py, src/continuum/recovery/summary.py (or new helper beside it), src/continuum/state/semantic.py, src/continuum/state/validator.py, briefing/render path, adjacent tests. Nothing else.

ACCEPTANCE
- Minimum-wins stamping proven by tests above.
- Validator treats derived exactly like EXTERNAL_AGENT.
- No existing test broken; suite green.

FORBIDDEN: implementing #313 lesson logic itself, touching interchange/, mcp/, cli/ confirm surfaces, or workflow files.

Your assigned issue: #387. Branch name: ci/markdown-lint-387. PR title: "ci: add markdown linter to catch unbalanced fences".

TASK: issue #387 (No markdown linter in CI, so #354 broke a code fence with 18 checks green).

PROBLEM: #354 removed code fences around the Project Structure tree in CONTRIBUTING.md, collapsed its comment column, and rewrote __init__.py as init.py. All 18 CI checks passed because no workflow runs a markdown linter and there is no committed .pre-commit-config.yaml. #375 restored it verbatim.

PROPOSED SOLUTION — single lint step in the existing CI workflow, deliberately narrow:
- Tool: markdownlint-cli2 (narrow config on purpose; full defaults would flag hundreds of pre-existing nits and train people to ignore the check).
- Rules that matter: MD031 blanks around fences, MD040 fenced blocks have a language, MD047 file ends with single newline (also restored by #375), plus unbalanced fences surfacing as parse failure.
- Keep line-length OFF (prose deliberately unwrapped).
- Scope to docs a contributor lands on first: CONTRIBUTING.md, README.md, SECURITY.md, CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md — or repository-wide if you can prove the noisy pass is clean enough in one go. Document the scope choice in the PR body.

STEPS
1. Claim #387 ("Claiming #387").
2. Branch from origin/main: ci/markdown-lint-387
3. Add the lint step to .github/workflows/ci.yml (or a dedicated lint job that runs on the same trigger). Add a minimal config file if needed (.markdownlint-cli2.jsonc) with ONLY the 4 rules above enabled. Pin the tool version.
4. Verify locally: deliberately break a fence in a temp file and show the new step fails; restore and show it passes. Paste both outputs in the PR body — this is the regression proof that #354 would have been caught.
5. Full gate: pytest green, ruff check + format clean, mypy clean. The new markdown step must be green on the current tree.
6. Commits Refs #387. Push. Open PR titled "ci: add markdown linter to catch unbalanced fences"

ALLOWED FILES: .github/workflows/ci.yml, .markdownlint-cli2.jsonc (or .markdownlint.json), adjacent docs workflow if a new job file is cleaner. Touch CONTRIBUTING.md only to fix an existing lint violation if your narrow config surfaces one — document it.

ACCEPTANCE
- CI now fails on an unbalanced fence (demonstrated with before/after output in PR).
- Current tree passes the new check.
- Config is narrow (4 rules), not full defaults — stated in PR body.
- Gate green.

FORBIDDEN: reformatting the whole docs corpus, touching src/ continuum code, enabling line-length rules, or adding a .pre-commit-config.yaml beyond what CI needs.

Your assigned issue: #394. Branch name: feat/mcp-instant-resume-394. PR title: "feat(mcp): instant resume detection, scoped confirm, and slim tool subset".

TASK: issue #394 (feat(mcp): instant resume detection, scoped confirm, and slim read-only tool subset).

PROBLEM: Every resume pays three taxes across weeks of restarts: (1) agent must discover and call continuum resume --json itself, (2) mutating-tool confirmation is all-or-nothing (one self-certified component forces full human review even when rest is trusted), (3) full tool surface sits in context whether needed. Cold-start latency and token floor both suffer.

PROPOSED SOLUTION — three coordinated pieces:
1. Instant detection: write .continuum/resume.json on every checkpoint; SessionStart hook reads it out of band and injects an interrupted-run banner ONLY when one exists. Silent otherwise. Target cold-start banner latency well under a second — measure and report in PR.
2. Scoped confirm: confirm --scope <component> clears self-certified REQUIRES_REVIEW for the named components only (goal, progress), leaving any other uncertainty intact. REVIEW_CONFIRMED gains optional scope payload; validator clears only what was confirmed. Full confirm remains available.
3. Token floor: continuum_resume_check slim tool subset (validate/resume/list_actions) via minimal registration for contexts that should not carry mutating surface at all.

COORDINATION CONSTRAINT: This touches confirm flow, also subject of open PR #377. You MUST build on main's current post-revert behaviour, must NOT preempt or reproduce #377's diff, and must merge origin/main doubly often if #377 moves. If #377 merges mid-flight, integrate rather than override.

STEPS
1. Claim #394 ("Claiming #394"). Read src/continuum/mcp/server.py, src/continuum/cli/main.py confirm path, and the current validator confirm handling (post 129c9c4 revert) thoroughly.
2. Branch from origin/main: feat/mcp-instant-resume-394
3. Implement (1) resume.json writer on checkpoint + hook reader, (2) scoped confirm (payload + validator scoping), (3) slim subset registration. Keep each piece behind existing affordances; default flows unchanged when unused.
4. Tests:
   - banner appears only when interrupted run exists; latency measured and reported;
   - scoped confirm leaves unrelated uncertainty untouched (test: goal confirmed, uncertain side effect still blocks);
   - slim subset lists exactly the read-only trio; mutating calls refuse identically to today;
   - default flows unchanged when features unused.
5. Full gate. Commits Refs #394. Push. Open PR titled "feat(mcp): instant resume detection, scoped confirm, and slim tool subset"

ALLOWED FILES: src/continuum/mcp/server.py, src/continuum/cli/main.py (confirm/resume + hook wiring only), src/continuum/state/validator.py (scoped clearing only), checkpoint hook surface, adjacent tests. Nothing else.

ACCEPTANCE
- Banner latency measured and reported in PR body.
- Scoped confirm leaves unrelated uncertainty untouched.
- Slim subset exactly validate/resume/list_actions.
- Default flows unchanged.

Your assigned issue: #395. Branch name: feat/interchange-evidence-export-395. PR title: "feat(interchange): content-addressed evidence export for external consumers".

TASK: issue #395 (feat(interchange): content-addressed evidence export).

PROBLEM: Evidence lives in a hash-chained event log that external tools cannot consume without importing the library. No neutral export path, so dashboards, control planes and auditors scrape SQLite or ignore evidence. As telemetry formats crystallize, being unable to emit one locks our substrate out of integrations.

PROPOSED SOLUTION — additive exporter in interchange/ mapping run evidence to four content-addressed primitives:
- Transitions (event-appended state movements),
- Observations (environment validations, diff results),
- Relations (dependency edges between plan steps/components),
- State Checkpoints (checkpoint records).
Each primitive carries its content hash, sequence number, origin/provenance tags, and signature inputs needed to re-verify against source log. Export is one command: continuum export-evidence <run> emitting JSON lines. Import is out of scope.

Design constraints: native format stays authoritative and unchanged; exporter is pure read; hashes must let a receiver detect truncation or tampering relative to verify() output. Zero new dependencies.

STEPS
1. Claim #395 ("Claiming #395"). Read src/continuum/events.py, storage layer, and existing interchange/ scaffolding if any.
2. Branch from origin/main: feat/interchange-evidence-export-395
3. Implement in src/continuum/interchange/ (new module): mapping to four primitives, content hashing, JSON-lines emitter, CLI wiring continuum export-evidence <run>. Keep pure read; no writes.
4. Tests:
   - round-trip property: exported stream covers every event of the run with correct hashes; dropping a line is detectable by receiver using documented algorithm (include the verification snippet in PR body);
   - provenance survives: every primitive names its origin class;
   - zero new dependencies.
5. Full gate. Commits Refs #395. Push. Open PR titled "feat(interchange): content-addressed evidence export for external consumers"

ALLOWED FILES: src/continuum/interchange/ (new), src/continuum/cli/main.py (one subcommand wiring only), adjacent tests. Nothing else.

ACCEPTANCE
- Every event exported with correct hash; truncation detectable.
- Provenance survives on every primitive.
- Zero new dependencies; suite green.
