Iteration 162 ship log

2026-05-15 · LOOP-END iter

Date: 2026-05-15 (LOOP-END iter)

Loop closed

Iter 161 formally concluded the campaign. Iter 162 was scheduled as observation-only. State at iter 162:

• drift-detector: ALL 9 watched audits OK
• /quality-report/: 0 FAIL, 4 WARN, 49 OK (unchanged)
• Self-healing infrastructure operating normally on cron

No drift to fix. No new work surfaced that wasn't covered by the 6 documented patterns at iter 156's quality-loop essay. The /loop is being closed cleanly here.

What keeps running unattended

The /loop ends but the infrastructure remains active on cron:

• 51 audit systems on schedules from every 5 min to daily
• 7 cron guard-rail injectors at */5
• 1 drift-detector meta-audit at */5 with FRESH_AUDIT_v1
• 39 audits with AUTOSELECTED-stub skip
• 17 source-patched generators that don't revert fixes on regen
• 214 cron jobs total

The catalog is self-healing within 5 minutes of any drift event. Snapshots are always fresh. The 4 remaining WARN cards await Wes editorial review.

Handoff to Wes

When Wes returns, the 3-piece quality-infrastructure reading sequence is at /factory/quality-loop/:

1. /factory/quality-report/ - 53 live audit cards
2. /factory/audits/ - all 51 audits with cadence + plain-English descriptions
3. /factory/playbooks/quality-loop/ - the patterns essay

The 162-iter campaign retrospective is at /factory/log/milestone-150/ (covers the first 150 iters in detail; iters 151-161 added the drift-detector, FRESH_AUDIT_v1, cron-guard-rail widening to */5, /factory/audits/ docs, /factory/quality-loop/ landing, quality-loop essay, AUTOSELECTED-stub skip across 39 audits, and the campaign closeout note).

Loop close

The /loop ends here. Cron infrastructure continues independently. No further iters scheduled.

End of campaign. 162 iterations.
