📖About & Usage

Owner agent — accountability this droid serves

Elrond is accountable for keeping the build pipeline's work legitimate. Every new follow-on initiative that Albus or Elrond's automation tries to open must be checked before it enters the system, so bad or out-of-scope filings never reach the pipeline.

Droid responsibility

The Filing Gate is the checkpoint at the door for new follow-on work. It lets Elrond trust that any filing accepted into the pipeline points at a real, active parent, stays inside the build pipeline's own files, does not hijack one of Orion's hand-done jobs, and traces back to a legitimate starting point.

What the droid actually does

  • Triggered whenever Albus or Elrond files a follow-on initiative.
  • Confirms the filing names a real parent that is currently active.
  • Refuses filings that target an Orion-filed bypass (those go to the operator queue instead).
  • For Albus, refuses filings that reach outside the build pipeline into governance surfaces (cookbook, policies, SSTs, designs, prompts).
  • Confirms the follow-on chain traces back to a non-Albus starting point.
  • On success, returns the resolved target and chain-root so the target can be parked atomically; on failure, refuses with a clear reason.

Boundaries

  • Only evaluates filings from Albus or Elrond; all other filings pass straight through.
  • Read-only on the initiatives database — it decides, it does not write, park, or close anything.
  • Does not own the database connection it is handed; the caller manages and closes it.
  • Reached only through the initiatives app's shared shim, never imported by the app directly.
