OS Vitals Accuracy, Owner Loop Deep Audit, Documentation Cleanup

September 5, 2026

Fixed two real bugs in Alloy's OS Vitals dashboard (TRUSTED and PARTICIPATORY overclaiming), built a full 50-specimen Owner Loop audit for trend analysis, then archived 10 stale strategy docs and condensed 4 replacements by 79% after review found them bloated.

What shipped

Fixed Alloy's TRUSTED ladder rung to headline real Owner Loop unsupervised-closure evidence instead of gate-calling proxies

Fixed PARTICIPATORY's ladder status to require an accepted contribution, not just a contributor existing

Wired products/alloy/.env.local with the 5 read-only cross-product DB credentials OS Vitals needed but never had

Wrote a 50-specimen Owner Loop audit (forgekit-os/owner-loop-audit-2026-09-04.md) for trend analysis

Archived 6 root-level ForgeKit strategy docs (company thesis, frontier program, portfolio evidence map, public narrative, shared kernel, strategic forecast)

Wrote 4 condensed replacement docs, cut 79% after review found the first drafts mostly restated CLAUDE.md/the codebase

Audited and resolved 10 docs/ root-level files: 4 archived, 4 updated in place, 2 confirmed current

Deleted a stray standalone Flyback git repo at the monorepo root (c:\ForgeKit\Flyback), superseded by experiments/Flyback/

Merged this session's worktree into master and pushed to origin

Removed 7 of 8 stale leftover worktrees (zero unmerged commits each); left owner-loop-s3 (4 real unmerged commits) for review

why is there a Flyback folder at the root and also under experiments (where it should be)?

Zeb, spotting a stray leftover repo mid-session that turned out to predate the entire monorepo
