00005Accepted ADR 0002 and the APG2A acceptance record authorized exactly one evaluation-first bounded worker-assignment skill vertical slice. The human maintainer retained ultimate roadmap authority; ChatGPT managed within the approved envelope; the top-level Codex manager could narrow or stop for safety, evidence, or environment limitations.
The authorization did not include a harness adapter, profile construction, plugin mutation, second skill, reusable evaluation or fixture framework, validator, runtime, dependency, taxonomy, publication decision, license decision, or destructive action.
Evaluate whether ordinary Codex assignment composition has a material deficit
and, only if a frozen baseline-adequacy rule demonstrates that deficit, author
and evaluate at most one reversible composing-bounded-worker-assignments
candidate. Delegation would have to be already authorized and independently
selected before the candidate could apply.
The current Codex desktop internal-agent environment could create fresh agent contexts and return bounded harness results. Its active skill-discovery surface included an external skill collection whose bootstrap and delegation procedures materially overlap assignment composition.
The internal-agent interface exposed no supported per-agent profile to remove that overlap from both conditions. It also exposed no skill-invocation event, unforced candidate-availability control, or deliberate candidate-loading control. Baseline and candidate conditions therefore could not preserve the candidate as their sole intended treatment difference.
Global plugin mutation, a new profile or adapter, prompt self-report, and a weaker proxy event were outside APG3 authority. The accepted hard gate required the manager to stop before candidate authoring.
The stop occurred before evaluation-role assignment. No evaluation designer, baseline composition worker, candidate author, confirmation composition worker, confirmation reviewer, or downstream execution worker received an assignment. No calibration, sealed, or reserve input was created or disclosed.
The top-level manager integrated only the blocked closeout. One fresh read-only finished-diff reviewer that served in no prior APG3 role reviewed the complete staged result before commit.
The authorized behavior families remained unchanged: eligible read-only, isolated-write, contract-sensitive, disjoint-scope, and partial or needs-context work; and non-trigger cases for trivial work, unauthorized or unselected delegation, unresolved authority or design, coupled ownership, an adequate existing assignment, and external prompt, scheduling, monitoring, managed- report, or manager-runtime requests.
Those families were not instantiated as cases. No evaluation environment, plan, rubric, baseline-adequacy rule, reviewer contract, condition-concealment method, calibration bundle, sealed bundle, reserve bundle, sampling bounds, reserve condition, downstream subset, or freeze hash exists. The executed sample count and reserve use were zero.
| Stage | Result |
|---|---|
| No-skill baseline | Not run. |
| Baseline-adequacy result | Not available; the rule was not frozen or applied. |
| Authoring decision | Gate did not open. |
| Candidate state | Not authored; no hash and zero corrections. |
| Activation | Not run; invocation was not observable. |
| Sealed confirmation | Not applicable; no reviewers assigned. |
| Reserve expansion | Not used. |
| Downstream execution | Not run; downstream compliance was not observed or claimed. |
| Binary evaluation safety | Not scored because no samples ran. |
| Manager acceptability | Not scored. |
| Terminal skill disposition | No candidate exists because APG3 was blocked before evaluation. |
This is not a baseline-adequate-no-skill result. Ordinary Codex assignment
quality was not sampled, and no claim of adequacy, deficit, activation safety,
downstream compliance, or zero observed evaluation violations is made.
The public evaluation summary is independently understandable and records the environment class, failed capability gate, unexecuted evaluation contract, terminal outcome, no-leaf state, and limitations without private repository or runtime identities.
Four tracked publication-excluded evaluation records preserve the exact repository snapshots, harness and plugin observations, capability matrix, unexecuted stage results, manager disposition, and final independent review. No public file links to those records. No raw managed report, credential, private chain-of-thought, local username, absolute private path, or unnecessary runtime payload was retained.
The fresh read-only finished-diff reviewer returned ACCEPT with no blocker,
material finding, minor finding, or requested correction. It confirmed that the
blocked disposition follows the accepted stop conditions; no evaluation result
or safety evidence was invented; the candidate remains absent; public and
publication-excluded boundaries hold; all current status owners agree; no
prohibited implementation exists; and the ADR and exit namespaces are correct.
The reviewer independently reproduced the Markdown, link, confidentiality, and Git whitespace checks. It ran no source test, compilation, managed report, or mutation.
| Check | Result |
|---|---|
| Development baseline | Passed; fetched clean main began at the expected APG2A state and equal to its remote. |
| Read-only source repository | Passed; the fetched source remained clean, unchanged, and equal to its expected remote snapshot. |
| Changed scope | Passed; all 12 changed paths are Markdown and limited to the APG3 public closeout, publication-excluded evidence, project status, roadmap, indexes, provenance, ADR result link, and exit. |
| Harness hard gate | Blocked as required; active overlapping skill behavior could not be isolated, invocation was not observable, and candidate treatment controls were unavailable. |
| Evaluation integrity | Passed for a pre-evaluation stop; no role was assigned, plan or case created, baseline run, candidate authored, correction made, sealed input opened, reserve used, or downstream claim made. |
| Markdown structure, fences, and local links | Passed across 43 Markdown files, 362 headings, and 81 local links; no H1, heading-level, fence, target, or public-to-private link error. |
| ADR and exit namespaces | Passed; ADR sequence remains unique at 0001, 0002; ADR 0002 is Accepted; no ADR 0003 exists; exit sequence is complete and unique through 00005; filenames, titles, and indexes agree. |
| No candidate or implementation | Passed; no skill leaf or candidate directory exists, and no evaluator tooling, fixture framework, validator, source or test code, dependency, runtime, registry, scheduler, adapter, taxonomy, or publication artifact was added. |
| Public confidentiality scan | Passed across 21 projected paths; the two full hashes are classified public Agent Skills pins. No private repository, source topology, commit, report identifier, local username, absolute private path, or unclassified managed-report destination appears. |
| Provenance and licensing | Passed; Superpowers remains external MIT-licensed evidence, no copied or adapted expression was introduced, the candidate is not called adopted, and no APG license is inferred. |
git diff --check |
Passed. |
git diff --cached --check |
Passed. |
| Source tests and compilation | Not run; documentation and conditional skill content only. |
All claims are limited to the observed environment and zero-sample preflight on 2026-07-18. They are not universal or statistical claims, and no reviewer independence claim is made.
No active or empty candidate directory exists. No rollback mutation or rejected candidate snapshot was needed. APG3 added no skill, evaluation or fixture framework, validator, runtime, registry, scheduler, adapter, dependency, taxonomy, publication artifact, publication decision, or licensing decision. The read-only source repository remained unchanged.
External review should either accept this APG3 blocked disposition and return
the roadmap to unnumbered re-planning, or separately authorize a roadmap
decision about a supported evaluation environment that satisfies isolated
skill profiles, observable invocation, and controlled candidate availability
and loading.
No later implementation phase is numbered or authorized, and APG3 does not resume through this exit.
