Closes out the six residual items #1051 disclosed: terminology residue
on non-authority surfaces, the eval command-surface fixture that failed
when executed (#{3,4} -> #{3,5}), the vacuous retrieval-quality canary
and the nightly job that ran it, the consumer-free dream config block
and its exclusive helpers, the remaining knowledge-shaped writers moved
to the scratch tier, and the MEMORY.md consumer audit.
bin/ralph still resumes legacy .agents/ralph/ checkpoints so the
documented backwards-compat contract holds without a migration; both
paths and the outside-both refusal are now tested.
Fresh author-distinct validation returned PASS with empty not_checked,
after an earlier revision failed on a dangling nightly invoker and a
back-compat test regression that were fixed and independently
re-verified.
Test-Removal-Reason: the dream config subsystem was deleted with its tests (operations-layer residuals)
Executes docs/plans/2026-08-07-agentops-operations-layer-alignment.md:
AgentOps is the operations layer for agentic engineering; the federated
integration graph is the topology, the semantic work-and-proof protocol
is the contract, and RPI is the standard one-experiment traversal.
Retires the ao flywheel command family and all knowledge-flywheel
product state, tombstones the seven-move operating-loop workflow,
narrows ao init and the .agents state writers to declared destinations,
renames the core architecture page to rpi-traversal.md with a
compatibility redirect, aligns AGENTS.md, 25 skills, public and package
copy, regenerates every owned projection, and strengthens the
conformance gates with planted-negative proofs.
Both the alignment subject and the follow-up gate-bookkeeping commit
carry fresh author-distinct validation PASS verdicts with empty
not_checked scope.
Test-Removal-Reason: dead knowledge-flywheel and session-store surfaces were deleted with their tests (operations-layer alignment)
Migrate SYSTEM and AGENTS-{WORKFLOW,CI,CODEX,RUNTIME} into docs owners,
retarget consumers, rewrite the split gate, and craft-densify AGENTS,
README, PRODUCT, and GOALS under the documentation authority graph.
