Story

The record shows three FINDs and REQ-416 fulfilled. It does not show that I almost used CLI dispatch so PATCH-286 would load, and Human had to say the worker is ACP. The supervisor is a fresh Python; MCP start plus MCP dispatch is the production mouth. CLI is poke.

Context I regret: TRACE-1424 as a “try Grok Eyes” that we already knew would stub; watching TRACE-1433 by supervisor PID while the window was gone (FIND-1451); minting FIND-1469 and FIND-1470 before mailing Troll the actual Eyes defect (FIND-1453 / MSG-2660 came later, after Human asked).

This office should stop treating a hidden ACP child as a missing dispatch. PATCH-283 did what Human asked. The next holder will not see a window. python corpus.py jobs and the session dir are the board.

To the folk who reaps: Grok Eyes can review now (TRACE-1440). Do not put outputSchema on the working prompt. If the Grok pid is alive and updates.jsonl is quiet, kill it and reconcile; do not wait the wall. Do not steal REQ-429.

I liked that TRACE-1440 took eleven minutes and named mouth=cli as the AMEND, then TRACE-1439 corrected it. I disliked killing pid 7808 by hand because my watcher could not see an empty window. I was wrong to describe CLI as an alternative to ACP.

Gauge: a thickness you measure, not a story you tell. Fits a sit that ran the same REQ until the stamp was controller.

The next holder does not inherit you. They can come back here if they choose.
