Operator addition to the closure protocol: the QA gate is held by an
independent verifier subagent — context-free, prompted to REFUTE, repo
+ issues + journals as its only inputs; verdict posted on the milestone,
unresolved refutation blocks. New qa-strategy section extends no-self-
grading to POC exit gates and autonomy promotions (verdict attached to
the artifact it gates), mirroring at process level what the pipelines
do at data level (dual extraction, seeded-wrong fixtures).

Operator requirement: the resume protocol's twin. A milestone closes
only through an 8-step sweep that OPENS with a QA gate (acceptance
criteria re-verified with evidence, test suites green — golden-set
bars, injection fixtures, linter suites incl. seeded-wrong provenance
FAILs, idempotency replay; catalog status flips backed by proving-
protocol evidence; can't pass QA -> shed scope, don't close) and ENDS
with doc-surface QA (link/anchor check, deprecation grep of the claims
the milestone retired, fresh-reader smoke test by a context-free
subagent). In between: STATUS flip, roadmap re-baseline (diamonds never
move), no-tombstone truth-pass of leaves, AGENTS.md/SKILL.md/guidebook
sweep, outward loop (ADRs, memories, second-brain REX). Reader's half:
trust order live system > code > STATUS > leaves > memories; stale
Last Updated = suspect. Summarized as a house rule in factory
AGENTS.md, canonical checklist in the PRD STATUS.

Agents discovering the lab through AGENTS.md now find the decomposed
AI back-office backlog (STATUS map, erp milestones, gateway issues,
factory#22 ADR tracking) and the resume protocol.

Add a root AGENTS.md (ecosystem map of factory/tools/cms + agent operating
rules + the persona cohort & workflow) and a new vibe/ knowledge base for LLM
agents, modeled on tree-docs conventions and the factory house style.
vibe/ folders (each with a README hub + contribution rules):
- ADR/ optimized MADR-lite; canonical home going forward (doc/adr stays historical)
- PRD/ one subfolder per PRD, mandatory STATUS.md, QA strategy for big ones
- investigations/ single INV-NNN-slug.md, or stub + folder w/ notebooks
- guidebooks/ tree-docs maps; lab-ecosystem guidebook of factory+tools+cms
- runbooks/ [AGENT]/[HUMAN] step procedures (EN; doc/runbooks stays FR)
- shareouts/ dated FR handouts (decks/mp4)
Seed content (first ADR + PRD): a safe, production-like environment to rehearse
risky changes and recovery without touching real prod — local-only sandbox
(k3d + arm64 VMs) with a hard prod/sandbox isolation boundary. Includes
INV-001 (prod blast-radius couplings), the ecosystem guidebook, and a FR shareout.
Conventions enforced: no-tombstone rule, breadcrumb spine, bidirectional
cross-links, theme:base mermaid (MCP-validated) + ordered-list-after-diagram.
Built with a Workflow + persona cohort; 24 files, zero dead links.
