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

• Follow-on to parent INI 999900418 (orion)
• Scope inherited verbatim from parent INI 999900418 per CAROL-INI-361. (elrond.initiative_author)
• [status-router] planned -> dispatched | event=dispatch | RSI: auto-promoted bypasses depth limit (CAROL-INI-2198) (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 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 999900649): [infra, confidence high] The initiative blocked because the Albus agent failed to respond to the wake call for step 0, triggering the dead-Albus protocol under the parallel safety mechanism. No execution history exists, and the block event occurred immediately after dispatch, indicating a procedural/infra failure in the wake mechanism rather than a work failure. (orion)
• Orion remediated: Albus RSI group diagnosis (via INI 999900582): [infra, confidence high] The initiative was dispatched but the Albus executor never woke to process step 0 (no execution history, empty queue row), triggering Elrond's 10-minute stuck-activity safety net with cause=albus_no_show. This matches the dead-Albus protocol pattern seen in prior RSI diagnoses and is a procedural wake failure, not a defect in the step-creation change itself. (orion)
• [status-router] blocked -> closed | event=operator_put | PUT /api/initiatives (operator)
• [rsi-group-cure] Cured by the group diagnosis on INI 999900582 (shared cause stuck_10min_no_activity); retriggered as INI 999900939. Root cause: [infra, confidence high] The initiative was dispatched but the Albus executor never woke to process step 0 (no execution history, empty queue row), triggering Elrond's 10-minute stuck-activity safety net with cause=albus_no_show. This matches the dead-Albus protocol pattern seen in prior RSI diagnoses and is a procedural wake failure, not a defect in the step-creation change itself. (elrond.rsi_loop)
