Owner agent — accountability this droid serves

Elrond is accountable for the build pipelines close machinery. When an initiatives status is committed, the post-commit close-event hooks must be performed by a named, accountable droid rather than loose logic inside the initiatives app (Design #146 / #173, cookbook 272).

Droid responsibility

The Initiative Closer runs the four post-commit close-event hooks after the PUT handler commits a status change: flips the orion.bypass dispatch_queue lock on terminal status (INI-446), rolls component actuals into running averages on close (INI-682), runs quality scoring plus the rolling-average regression check on close (INI-322), and runs the per-initiative audit plus follow-on filer on any terminal state (INI-465/623/636) - exactly as they ran inside the app before phase 3. Carries the write-side quality scoring engine so the scoring hook is self-contained.

What the droid actually does

• Triggered whenever an initiative status is committed through the initiatives app PUT handler.
• Runs each of the four close-event hooks as a separate best-effort step; one failing never blocks the others.
• On terminal status, flips the bypass dispatch lock and runs the audit plus follow-on filer.
• On close, rolls up component actuals and computes and persists the quality score.
• Records a session_event and a Palantir post on every close.

Boundaries

• Owns and closes its own database connections; never relies on a callers connection.
• Behavior is preserved exactly from the app (phase 3 is a relocation, not a refactor).
• Does NOT hold the close gate (status guard, terminal-reopen guard, closure review-must-pass guard) - those stay in the app endpoint before the UPDATE.
• Reached only through the initiatives apps shared shim, never imported by the app directly.
• Does not touch the bypass book, cookbook, or initiative status rows beyond what the original hooks did.
