📖About

The Initiative Author currently operates as a single thin model call with only raw intent text, causing it to reject legitimate small admin tasks and produce shallow plans that miss Carol operating constraints. Rebuild it as a Claude Code session that loads the cookbook, relevant SST registry rows, and parent initiative context (if referenced) at session start, while upgrading to a stronger reasoning model. This will enable the Author to produce higher-quality initiatives that respect constraints, distinguish legitimate small tasks from vague intents, and reduce the bounce rate on real intents.

• [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 safety net blocked initiative: no activity for 10+ minutes. Parallel mechanism (twin of handshake). (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 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 remediated: Albus RSI group diagnosis (via INI 999900519): [procedural, confidence high] The initiative became blocked because Elrond's safety net triggered after 10 minutes of inactivity during the executing phase. The execution history shows a pattern of 'Idle close' failures and the initative was repeatedly stalled at the pre-verify gate due to slot cancellations, eventually proceeding to dispatch and execute but then receiving no further step activity. The root cause is a procedural pipeline deadlock: after dispatch, the executor (likely Albus) never woke to perform step 0, leaving the initi (orion)
• [status-router] blocked -> closed | event=operator_put | PUT /api/initiatives (operator)
• [rsi-group-cure] Cured by the group diagnosis on INI 999900519 (shared cause stuck_10min_no_activity); retriggered as INI 999900933. Root cause: [procedural, confidence high] The initiative became blocked because Elrond's safety net triggered after 10 minutes of inactivity during the executing phase. The execution history shows a pattern of 'Idle close' failures and the initative was repeatedly stalled at the pre-verify gate due to slot cancellations, eventually proceeding to dispatch and execute but then receiving no further step activity (elrond.rsi_loop)

✅Success criteria
