📖About

RSI diagnosis (CAROL-INI-2223b/2246): Albus root-causes WHY CAROL-INI-0315-00 (row 1000229, 'CAROL-INI-0315-00: Rebuild Initiative Author with contextual learning and strong') blocked and records recommendations on the original so its retriggered attempt succeeds. This is a PIPELINE-FIXING initiative: any fix it implements to the pipeline MUST adhere to the cookbook (checked automatically per fix during the Albus bypass, verdicts recorded as decisions).

⚖️Decisions

• Follow-on to parent INI 999900500 (elrond)
• Scope inherited verbatim from parent INI 999900500 per CAROL-INI-361. (elrond.initiative_author)
• [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 1000166): [procedural, confidence high] The initiative was repeatedly retracted from the 3-deep dispatch queue because it could not stay in the top-3 priority window long enough for an operator push, resulting in no execution and a 10-minute inactivity timeout that triggered the Elrond safety net. (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)
• Orion remediated: Albus RSI group diagnosis (via INI 999900413): [procedural, confidence high] The initiative was filed as 'bypass' mode but was erroneously set to 'reviewing' status by an operator PUT instead of being opened via bypass_start, causing the execution pipeline to never trigger Albus; it remained idle until Elrond's 10-minute inactivity safety net blocked it. This is a recurring procedural pattern where bypass initiatives are mishandled, as confirmed by the empty execution history and the lack of any dispatch queue entry. (orion)
• Orion remediated: Albus RSI group diagnosis (via INI 999900328): [procedural, confidence high] The Albus executor failed to wake for initiative 999900328, as evidenced by the 'albus_no_show' decision at 2026-07-02 23:03:06 and the subsequent 'stuck_10min_no_activity' block. The execution history is empty, confirming no work was ever started. The RSI loop log (rsi_loop.log) shows no successful wake call for this initiative, and the initiatives DB (initiatives table) shows status 'blocked' with no associated plan or execution record. (orion)
• Orion remediated: Albus RSI group diagnosis (via INI 999900432): [procedural, confidence high] Albus executor did not wake to process the initiative after dispatch, as confirmed by the empty execution history and the Elrond safety net block at 2026-07-03 01:41:55 with cause=albus_no_show (see decision 'Elrond blocked initiative under the CAROL-INI-2162 dead-Albus protocol' and rsi_loop.log entries around that time). This is a procedural failure: the executor never started work, matching a systemic pattern affecting 63 other initiatives in the same block group. (orion)

• Orion remediation in progress: INI-999900820 bypass opened — CAROL-INI-696: an Orion-driven bypass has been opened to remediate this parent. The canonical Orion remediated: marker will be posted on close — see cookbook 156 / 155. (shared.bypass.bypass_start)
• Albus RSI diagnosis (root cause): [procedural, confidence high] The Albus executor did not wake to process step 0 of the initiative after dispatch (albus_no_show), leaving it idle with no execution history until the Elrond safety net blocked it after 10 minutes of inactivity. This is a procedural failure consistent with a systemic pattern where Albus fails to respond to dispatch events, as confirmed by the empty execution history and the dead-Albus protocol decision. (albus)
• Albus RSI recommendations: - Before retriggering, verify the Albus executor is active and able to accept wake calls; add a pre-dispatch health check. - Ensure the initiative's mode and pipeline settings are correctly configured to automatically trigger Albus wake upon dispatch, rather than relying on operator push which may not occur. - If the initiative requires operator push, confirm the operator queue processing invokes Albus for step 0 after push; otherwise implement an auto-trigger mechanism to avoid inactivity timeouts. || Next attempt succeeds because: With the Albus executor confirmed operational and the dispatch trigger corrected, the initiative will wake and proceed to execute its steps, avoiding the inactivity timeout. (albus)
• Orion remediated: INI-999900820 bypass closed — CAROL-INI-696 close-marker: the Orion bypass INI-999900820 filed against this parent reached terminal state (closed).

✅Success criteria

• The original initiative carries an 'Albus RSI diagnosis (root cause)' decision explaining why it blocked (must_have)
• The original initiative carries an 'Albus RSI recommendations' decision with concrete instructions for the next attempt (must_have)
• Every pipeline fix implemented by this initiative passes the automatic cookbook-adherence check (verdict recorded as a decision), keeping the pipeline cookbook-compliant while enabling CAROL-INI-0315-00 to succeed on retrigger (must_have)
