# E0007 Handoff Bootstrap — From Passive to Proactive ## What happened Session 2026-04-03 declared E0007. Theme: oddkit tools shift from passive (wait for invocation) to proactive (act as cognitive rhythm). The passive posture was intentional and correct for testing — the pain of success is the graduation signal. ## Key artifacts produced (all in outputs) 1. **encode-persistence-gap.md** — Cornerstone governance article. Ready for push to `docs/oddkit/encode-persistence-gap.md` 2. **e0007-implementation-plan.md** — Full plan: 5 phases, 16 files, 4 oddkit code changes, A/B testing via `canon_url` branch override 3. **oldc-h-2026-04-03-the-gauntlet-should-run-itself.md** — Session ledger with full OLDC+H ## Where we stopped Plan is complete but no files have been pushed yet. Phase 0 (branch creation) is the next step. ## Forcing fault "A system that requires its user to remember its features has delegated its cognition to the wrong party." ## Invariant "The system acts, the operator reviews." ## Key decisions - "Project journal" = user-facing term, "epistemic ledger" = canon term - Continuous OLDC+H encoding at every turn, not session-end batch - Proactive usage of ALL oddkit tools, not just encode - Proactive Identity of Integrity resurfacing corrects hallucinations (observed) - Handoff to new conversation = proactive CST detection + curated bootstrap - Don't separate journal entries by type — erases narrative - A/B test uses `canon_url` param pointing to feature branch ## Active constraints - Governance articles BEFORE oddkit code changes (truth in canon first) - BM25 requires many small, pointed files — single article won't surface - Passive posture overwritten but not erased - ODD is protocol layer, not storage layer ## Next actions 1. Phase 0: Create branch `e0007-proactive-posture` from main 2. Phase 1: Push epoch declaration files (epoch-7.md, epochs.md update, cornerstone article) 3. Phase 2: Write spin-off governance articles (see plan for full list of 13 files) 4. Phase 4: A/B test with `canon_url` branch override before oddkit code changes ## Branch Test Results (2026-04-03) **Branch:** `e0007-proactive-posture` — pushed and live on GitHub **oddkit canon_url test:** `https://raw.githubusercontent.com/klappy/klappy.dev/e0007-proactive-posture` **Results:** - `docs_considered: 429` (vs 411 on main) — branch files ARE indexed - Cornerstone article does NOT surface in top-5 BM25 for any query tested — confirms spin-off articles are essential for relevance - `oddkit_get` by URI (`https://klappy.dev/page/docs/oddkit/encode-persistence-gap`) returned "document not found" — possible URI resolution issue with branch files, needs investigation - A/B testing mechanism via `canon_url` works — branch content is loaded and searchable **Implication:** Phase 2 (spin-off articles) is critical. A single cornerstone article will not surface through BM25 search. Small, pointed articles with specific titles and tags are required for the proactive posture to be discoverable.
