OS Vitals Accuracy, Owner Loop Deep Audit, Documentation Cleanup

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.

Timeline

  1. Start

    OS Vitals audit request

    Owner Loop executions not showing up on the Vitals page

  2. +1h

    TRUSTED/PARTICIPATORY fixed

    Real outcome data replaces gate-calling and contributor-count proxies

  3. +3h

    50-specimen Owner Loop audit written

    Full narrative + aggregate trends for every real terminal-result specimen

  4. +5h

    6 root strategy docs archived + 4 replacements drafted

    Then condensed 79% after a direct challenge on their actual value

  5. +7h

    10 docs/ root files audited

    4 more archived, 4 updated in place

  6. +8h

    Merge, worktree sweep, stray-repo cleanup

    Flyback stray repo deleted, 7 of 8 leftover worktrees removed

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  • Deleted a stray standalone Flyback git repo at the monorepo root (c:\ForgeKit\Flyback), superseded by experiments/Flyback/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