INI-029 attempt 8 (exec 363) failed because Merlin's escalate_albus path invoked the legacy enablement droid (al-en-01) which doesn't have the new structured verdicts from CAROL-I\u2026

Currently Albus is only woken by Merlin's step reviewer when an execution fails. If the dispatcher is broken (breaker tripped, not running), no execs are created, no reviewer fire\u2026

A seeing-stone for the build pipeline. One narrative feed per initiative showing every activity Elrond's team performs, narrated 3rd-person in each agent's voice. SCOPE: Only bui\u2026
