Step-creation initiative. Mission: research initiative INI-999906 (CAROL-INI-0020-00: Palantír — Facebook-style build-pipeline activity feed (Elrond-owned)) and produce valid plan steps as JSON output. When complete, the close-hook will use these steps to file the actual follow-on.

⚖️Decisions

• [status-router] planned -> dispatched | event=dispatch | Backfilled into the 3-deep dispatch queue (CAROL-INI-1972); queued for operator push, not auto-executed. (spb-01)
• [status-router] dispatched -> blocked | event=stuck_10min_no_activity | Elrond safety net: initiative has had no activity for 10+ minutes. Blocking under the parallel safety mechanism. (el-watchdog)
• Elrond blocked initiative under the CAROL-INI-2162 dead-Albus protocol. Albus was supposed to wake for step 0 (cause=albus_no_show) but did not respond. Cause: albus_no_show. Reason: Elrond safety net: initiative stranded 10+ min. Albus wake failed or produced no useful result. (el-s1)
• Orion remediated: Albus RSI group diagnosis (via INI 999900395): [procedural, confidence high] The initiative was filed as bypass mode but never received a bypass_start activation: the executor Albus never claimed step 0 (albus_no_show), leaving the initiative idle in 'reviewing' status until Elrond's safety net blocked it after 10+ minutes. Examination of the initiatives DB shows no dispatch_queue entry for this initiative, and /tmp/carol_claude_concurrency.log shows no lock acquisitions for Albus around the relevant time, confirming the procedural failure was a missing trigger rather than a work or (orion)
• Orion remediated: Albus RSI group diagnosis (via INI 999900403): [procedural, confidence high] The initiative is blocked because its core requirement—Albuss waking for step 0—fails on itself: the current system cannot execute the fix without a working Albus, and no operator ever performed the code changes (empty execution history). The watchdog timer expired while the initiative sat idle in 'reviewing', triggering the dead-Albus protocol. (orion)
• Orion remediated: Albus RSI group diagnosis (via INI 999900406): [procedural, confidence high] The initiative blocked because it was set to 'reviewing' by an operator at 2026-06-30 03:57:49, but no executor (Albus or operator) ever performed the code changes described in the initiative; the Elrond safety net triggered after 10+ minutes of inactivity, and subsequent attempts to diagnose the block reused Albus-dependent processes that themselves failed to execute, creating a self-reinforcing procedural deadlock. (orion)
• [status-router] blocked -> closed | event=operator_put | PUT /api/initiatives (operator)
• [rsi-group-cure] Cured by the group diagnosis on INI 999900406 (shared cause stuck_10min_no_activity); retriggered as INI 999900675. Root cause: [procedural, confidence high] The initiative blocked because it was set to 'reviewing' by an operator at 2026-06-30 03:57:49, but no executor (Albus or operator) ever performed the code changes described in the initiative; the Elrond safety net triggered after 10+ minutes of inactivity, and subsequent attempts to diagnose the block reused Albus-dependent processes that themselves failed to execute (elrond.rsi_loop)
