Detailed project record
A timestamped account of work on Hiro: implementation, decisions, validation, limitations, and next steps. Multiple entries can be published on the same day without replacing earlier results. Entries intentionally exclude credentials, secrets, and actionable security-sensitive details.
Completed the authorized existing-template comparison: embedded default xhigh versus explicit medium, using the unchanged frozen Hiro qualification harness. No replacement template was installed.
Read the detailed update →Reviewed CLM as a possible local ranking/decision component alongside the deferred Jev idea. It is a candidate scorer, not a replacement for Hiro's generative reasoning model or external discovery.
Read the detailed update →Preserved the user-supplied recursive improvement, abstraction and research reorganization prompt as an exact research source and linked it from the existing deferred-ideas catalog.
Read the detailed update →Downloaded and hash-verified Nex-N2.5-mini and Empero Qwen3.8-35B-A3B Distill Q4_K_M artifacts, then compared them with the configured Qwen3.8-27B baseline.
Read the detailed update →Reviewed TokenPrint documentation and the local Hiro inference client to assess whether model inspection could complement existing experiment evidence.
Read the detailed update →A real GitHub Work handoff traversed the candidate intake, evidence retrieval, live local model, proposal validation and code-owned bounded plan mapping. The work stopped before candidate construction.
Read the detailed update →Extended the existing continuous queue with GitHub handoff intake, highest initial priority, revision provenance and retryable receipts. No new queue, database or daemon was added.
Read the detailed update →Completed the remaining integration gap after branch-only handoff verification. The GitHub issue template, operator helper, procedure and project instructions now exist on the default branch and normal local checkout.
Read the detailed update →Implemented a minimal GitHub issue transport for scoped ChatGPT, Work and Hiro handoffs. The issue holds the request and append-only reconciliation/outcome receipts; existing project evidence remains authoritative.
Read the detailed update →Implemented one historical search interface over existing SQLite provenance and GBrain infrastructure, exposed to the reasoning tool layer and a read-only local API.
Read the detailed update →Implemented and activated the explicitly authorized production remediation: six separate static GitHub queries rotate within the existing two-hour request cadence.
Read the detailed update →The approved feasibility stage reached its early stop: readily available evidence does not support the proposed historical query-policy comparison.
Read the detailed update →Designed a comparison that distinguishes fixed-query repair from value added by adaptive discovery. No production discovery policy, ontology or observer safety state changed.
Read the detailed update →Identified the exact GitHub retrieval contract used September 15–19: one fixed public repository query, Python language qualifier, update-descending order, first page of at most 20 records, and a two-hour source interval.
Read the detailed update →The current internet-observation stop sentinel was created on August 8, 2026 at 14:06:36 Pacific, matching completion of the seventh finite probation attempt. Its content states that finite probation completed.
Read the detailed update →Attempted the user-requested single blind exposure of an original primary source through the existing controlled observation and snapshot path.
Read the detailed update →Following explicit approval of the preceding design, implemented the minimal canonical Research Map and Hiro Research Object layer in the existing knowledge-base index and Open Problems Registry.
Read the detailed update →Inspected the repository, existing architecture and research policies, experiment and promotion code, read-only registry and queue state, historical qualifications, relevant project discussion and primary literature before designing a research-management extension.
Read the detailed update →Implemented a capability-driven fallback inside the existing ranked queue, reusing the queue database and canonical construction, testing and promotion controller. The central model remains frozen.
Read the detailed update →Investigated a mobile browser trust warning and verified that the existing managed HTTPS entry point loads successfully with normal certificate verification.
Read the detailed update →Prepared a morning handoff focused on construction generalization, evaluation consistency, earlier regression detection and actionable discovery.
Read the detailed update →Identified a feedback loop that requeued an idea after a terminal promotion failure, then reconciled the old failed transaction again and reopened the circuit cooldown.
Read the detailed update →No additional autonomous implementations completed after the previous overnight restart. Candidate attempts continued through 01:52 PDT but no new promotion transaction finalized.
Read the detailed update →Completed the requested restart after the watched candidate episode finished. Hiro loaded the intended deployed revision and connected to the existing central model.
Read the detailed update →Changed reservoir selection to filter exhausted, explicitly incomplete, and policy-excluded evidence before applying the 100-entry limit.
Read the detailed update →The initial queue-only explanation was incomplete. A full reservoir audit found 100 source leads grouped into 33 approaches: 19 within the current policy and 14 outside it. The external corroboration path reruns fixed regression tests rather than constructing claim-specific experiments.
Read the detailed update →The user requested a duplicate review, cleanup and prevention. Repeated external lead admission across revisions and repeated audit observations had created multiple pending records for the same work.
Read the detailed update →The user asked to continue the pipeline after the first fresh end-to-end improvement completed. The external lead reservoir still holds100 entries, including19 not yet admitted;31 ideas are queued.
Read the detailed update →A fresh incident discovered through actual local Qwen inference completed the canonical discovery, construction, independent testing, canary, activation and execution-based post-activation chain. Promotion finalized at2026-09-13 23:41:48 PDT.
Read the detailed update →Resumed the unfinished implementation campaign after an interruption. The Windows checkout preserved the deployed maintenance revision 9fdc481; Hiro was stopped when checked.
Read the detailed update →This continuation addresses the user's goal of a demonstrated autonomous improvement discovery, code patch, independent testing, and implementation loop. Work remains within the existing central model, CandidateBuilder, evaluator, canonical controller, and deployment process.
Read the detailed update →This session resumed Hiro on the actual Windows host with the objective of demonstrating autonomous improvement discovery, candidate construction, independent testing, implementation, and eventual recursive improvement. Work established an executable local baseline but did not apply or qualify the handoff patch.
Read the detailed update →A repository-wide source and history review traced the current assistant, continuous controller, candidate construction, evaluation, and activation paths. The reviewed runtime branch is codex/rsi-first-cycle at 6781ba741b6e47f52d0397d9a372aa7111ecd389.
Read the detailed update →The preceding autonomous campaign ended because four candidate attempts guarded a response repair on concept_explanation metadata that the production response boundary never inferred.
Read the detailed update →A fresh controller session began at the first preserved failure boundary from the prior terminal campaign: the interaction-audit adapter had dropped nested tool, source, and resolver evidence before reproduction.
Read the detailed update →Hiro began a new bounded ordinary non-meta campaign designed to improve opportunity yield by mining concrete historical failures rather than posing another generic set of capability questions.
Read the detailed update →A prior baseline-probe handoff defect was repaired and qualified before this campaign began. The versioned adapter now maps the immutable interaction-suite record into the production-audit execution contract while preserving the case identity, evaluation contract, tools, evidence, resolver, and untrusted-evidence fields.
Read the detailed update →Hiro began one bounded qualification of ordinary, non-meta autonomous improvement. The campaign was intended to start from current production behavior, measure a real gap, construct and evaluate a bounded candidate, and allow the normal controller to promote at most one qualifying change.
Read the detailed update →Hiro tested whether the original ten verified hosted claim fragments could be converted into complete atomic propositions using only their frozen lineage membership, canonical fields, and exact supporting spans. Gold labels, expected counts, surrounding source context, extraction, new retrieval, capability probing, reproduction, candidates, promotion, and Phase 3F were excluded.
Read the detailed update →Hiro tested a narrowly scoped source-grounded relevance boundary using the immutable six gold propositions, the original ten hosted grounded claims, and their accepted proposition-family mapping. No extraction, consolidation, capability probing, reproduction, candidate construction, promotion, production routing, or Phase 3F activity occurred.
Read the detailed update →Hiro tested whether the original ten canonical claims produced by the hosted grounded extractor were operationally equivalent downstream to the six frozen gold claims. This was a representation-equivalence qualification only: no extraction, discovery, reproduction, candidate construction, promotion, or production mutation occurred.
Read the detailed update →Hiro performed the one authorized atomic-claim segmentation repair for the hosted GPT-5.6 Sol extraction path. The work began with a frozen post-hoc mapping of all ten prior emitted claims to the six gold claims, then added exactly one source-level consolidation pass between initial grounded extraction and canonical acceptance.
Read the detailed update →Hiro qualified exactly one already-authorized hosted path, OpenAI GPT-5.6 Sol, for the narrow claim-extraction boundary. Qwen 3.8 remained Hiro's local central model and local independent validator; production routing was not changed.
Read the detailed update →A narrowly bounded qualification tested whether vLLM under WSL2 could provide a reliable alternate backend for one stronger claim-extraction model. Hiro's production routing, extraction prompts, schemas, validators, frozen corpora, and downstream RSI policy were not changed.
Read the detailed update →Hiro's last authorized repair to the grounded Qwen extractor changed only Stage 2 cardinality. Stage 1, the model, llama.cpp backend, frozen corpora, canonical claim schema, validators, runtime thresholds, and production routing remained unchanged.
Read the detailed update →Hiro's final bounded extractor attempt tested the already-running qwen/qwen3.8-27b only. No model was installed, no inference backend was changed, and production routing, the frozen twenty-source corpus, and Phase 3F remained disabled.
Read the detailed update →Hiro's next dedicated claim-extraction comparison tested only fastino/gliner2-large-v1, pinned to immutable revision 6a498b5a28ec3908bbc5277aeb47d22bcfc02f33. Production routing, discovery, candidate construction, the frozen twenty-source corpus, and Phase 3F remained disabled.
Read the detailed update →Hiro's accepted Stage B diagnosis was followed with a dedicated information-extraction qualification for NuMind NuExtract 2.0 8B. Stage A, Mistral prompting, canonical quality thresholds, the twenty-source corpus, production routing, and Phase 3F were not changed or resumed.
Read the detailed update →Hiro's Stage B claim structurer was qualified independently on the exact six gold spans frozen by the accepted boundary diagnosis. Stage A was not executed.
Read the detailed update →Hiro's evidence-first claim extraction was decomposed into independent supporting-span selection and gold-span structuring tests using the same three frozen positive controls and Mistral Small 3.2 24B Q6_K.
Read the detailed update →Hiro's generation-first claim-extraction contract was replaced in a qualification-only pathway with a two-stage evidence-first protocol: exact supporting-span selection followed by independent span-bound structuring.
Read the detailed update →The exact Mistral Small 3.2 24B Instruct 2506 Q6_K artifact completed Hiro's frozen claim-extraction runtime and quality qualification through LM Studio without changing the extraction prompt, schema, semantic policy, thresholds, retry policy, or corpora.
Read the detailed update →A narrowly scoped LM Studio runtime qualification tested the exact Mistral Small 3.2 24B Instruct 2506 Q6_K artifact without changing Hiro code, extraction prompts, qualification thresholds, production routing, or Qwen's central-model role.
Read the detailed update →The earlier 300-second Mistral startup cutoff was correctly treated as inconclusive for runtime reliability because no generation request had run and large local models can take substantially longer to load.
Read the detailed update →The exact Bartowski Mistral Small 3.2 24B Instruct 2506 Q6_K GGUF became available and was qualified as the sole newly authorized claim-extraction candidate.
Read the detailed update →A bounded continuation was authorized to qualify only Mistral Small 3.2 24B Instruct 2506 in Bartowski Q6_K form under Hiro's unchanged claim-extraction contract.
Read the detailed update →This session continued the existing claim-extraction model qualification without rerunning models already tested. It evaluated the two remaining locally installed candidates: Qwen 3.5 9B and Gemma 4 12B instruction QAT.
Read the detailed update →This session tested whether Hiro could assign claim extraction to a separately supervised local model while keeping Qwen 3.8 27B as Hiro's central reasoning model. It performed no new discovery, candidate construction, governor action, promotion, or meta-improvement.
Read the detailed update →Phase 3F-RS added a fail-closed process supervisor around the exact Qwen3.8-27B direct serving configuration qualified in Phase 3F-RT. It performed no new discovery, full-corpus extraction, claim-semantic change, reproduction, candidate construction, governor action, or promotion.
Read the detailed update →Phase 3F-RT replayed only the exact two-source reproducer preserved by Phase 3F-CE. It performed no discovery, full-corpus extraction, claim-semantic changes, reproduction, candidate construction, governor action, or promotion.
Read the detailed update →Phase 3F-CE used the exact 20-source immutable corpus from the failed Phase 3F campaign. It did not run new discovery and did not reach relevance, feasibility, reproduction, candidate, governor, or promotion stages.
Read the detailed update →The accepted Phase 3F-D discovery-retention repair was integrated into the current Hiro base without force-pushing or discarding unrelated history. The integrated revision is 19ff77a5b09cf3b76712a4b5eef3d6617089fdd9 and preserves the tested Phase 3F-D commit as an ancestor.
Read the detailed update →Phase 3F-D audited the exact 72-source corpus from the terminated fresh Phase 3F campaign without performing new discovery.
Read the detailed update →A new Phase 3F ordinary non-meta autonomous improvement campaign started from Hiro revision 28589bf3b63444e2a79d7706c4b71a8e9dc1ca48 with a policy frozen before discovery.
Read the detailed update →Phase 3F-VS tested whether Hiro can establish that a numeric capability gap belongs to real production behavior and that a proposed candidate surface causally controls the measured behavior before reproduction is authorized.
Read the detailed update →Phase 3F-VC tested whether the two findings selected by measured-gap viability could produce legitimate Hiro candidates. It used only the two accepted Phase 3F-VR inputs and ran no new discovery.
Read the detailed update →Phase 3F-VR added and qualified a generic baseline-only probe boundary for measuring Hiro's current behavior before research reproduction is considered.
Read the detailed update →Phase 3F-V added a non-authoritative viability boundary before research reproduction. It inspects current production capabilities, requires measurable gap evidence, checks for a bounded implementation surface, and returns an explicit pre-reproduction disposition.
Read the detailed update →The original Phase 3F campaign resumed from its six immutable Phase 3F-R evidence packages. It did not start a new campaign, rerun discovery, seek replacement sources, or rerun the reproduction experiments.
Read the detailed update →Phase 3F-R addressed only the first failed Phase 3F boundary: converting fresh valid declarative experiment plans into preregistered, isolated, independently verified reproduction outcomes. No new discovery, candidate construction, promotion, corroboration-policy change, or meta-improvement was authorized.
Read the detailed update →Phase 3F tested whether Hiro's already-qualified ordinary improvement stages could operate as one uninterrupted campaign from fresh discovery through production. The campaign policy, component hashes, resource bounds, stop conditions, and unchanged production qualification rules were frozen before discovery.
Read the detailed update →Phase 3E consumed only the two frozen Phase 3D promotion-eligible candidate lineages. Discovery, external intake, interaction-audit candidate generation, and meta-improvement remained disabled for the qualification.
Read the detailed update →Qualified only Hiro's ability to convert the seven accepted Phase 3A-R supporting evidence packages into bounded, non-meta candidate implementations. Discovery, claim extraction, reproduction evidence, corroboration semantics, governor policy, promotion thresholds, activation, and Phase 2 promotion machinery were not changed.
Read the detailed update →Qualified only Hiro's ability to execute the fourteen accepted Phase 3C experiment plans and turn their observations into claim-specific evidence. Candidate construction, production changes, promotion, activation, rollback, corroboration semantics, claim extraction, discovery ranking, and meta-improvement were unchanged.
Read the detailed update →Qualified experimental feasibility and actionable discovery only. Promotion, activation, rollback, corroboration, source-claim extraction, autonomous implementation, and meta-improvement were not changed.
Read the detailed update →Qualified only the source-retention and claim-extraction boundary established by Phase 3A. Corroboration policy, reproduction execution, candidate construction, promotion, activation, rollback, autonomous implementation, and meta-improvement were unchanged and not exercised.
Read the detailed update →Accepted Phase 3 as not demonstrated and qualified only the evidence-acquisition boundary upstream of candidate construction. Promotion, activation, probation, rollback, thresholds, and meta-improvement were outside scope and unchanged.
Read the detailed update →Qualified the autonomous controller upstream of the already-proven promotion actuator without changing promotion, activation, probation, finalization, or rollback behavior.
Read the detailed update →Built an accelerated qualification mode around the existing controller qualification runner to distinguish state-machine reliability from production-duration configuration without bypassing promotion logic.
Read the detailed update →Qualified the first upstream controller layer against the already-proven production promotion actuator, using one deliberately trivial real Hiro observability change rather than a synthetic promotion object.
Read the detailed update →Extended Hiro's deterministic production promotion harness with a checkpointed consecutive-run reliability command, normalized first-failure categories, canonical-versus-reporting state checks, and explicit retry-loop invariants.
Read the detailed update →Replaced open-ended promotion diagnosis with a deterministic process-level integrity harness for Hiro's current continuous-improvement promotion path.
Read the detailed update →Reactivated Hiro with the checked hidden launcher, confirmed that its local model dependency connected, and verified that the API, benchmark, and audit listeners were healthy.
Read the detailed update →The owner requested that Hiro be shut down because problems remain in the promotion implementation.
Read the detailed update →Investigated why Hiro's benchmark page appeared not to load from the owner's phone.
Read the detailed update →Implemented the independent inspector's critical and high-priority repairs across candidate isolation, evidence ownership, promotion transactions, runtime identity, rollback, persistence, concurrency, product-path testing, API failures, notifications, and observability.
Read the detailed update →Completed and activated a simplified continuous-improvement process centered on reproducible failures, harness-owned tests, isolated candidates, paired evaluation, timed canary, independent promotion, and automatic rollback.
Read the detailed update →The overnight autonomous run produced no promotion. The scheduler remained active, but the supervisor recorded 59 failed construction attempts and generated 11 consecutive versions of the same builder-repair task, allowing one failure lineage to consume the entire promotion window.
Read the detailed update →Implemented the missing upstream ImprovementSupervisor while preserving ContinuousGovernor as the independent final promotion authority. The supervisor now owns one durable improvement episode across candidate failures, scheduled retries, service restarts, canary, and terminal disposition.
Read the detailed update →The promotion drought should be fixed by adding a distinct upstream ImprovementSupervisor while leaving the independent ContinuousGovernor intact. The supervisor owns progress toward a valid candidate; the governor continues to own promotion authority.
Read the detailed update →Hiro's continuous governor was not removed or disabled. It remains installed as hiro/improvement/continuous_governor.py with its protected policy in docs/hiro_continuous_governor.v1.json.
Read the detailed update →The two recent promotions were valid code improvements, but they were not evidence that Hiro had achieved a self-sustaining autonomous improvement loop. Both emerged from long-lived candidates that were repeatedly made-next, rebuilt after platform changes, and carried through invalid harness or governor outcomes during direct supervision.
Read the detailed update →The stale-replay repair restored active, causally complete candidate construction, but it has not yet restored a healthy promotion funnel. In approximately three hours after restart, the queue began 36 investigations, confirmed 34 potentials, scheduled 30 candidate revisions, marked three artifacts blocked, and reproduced two cases as already fixed. No candidate reached paired evaluation or promotion.
Read the detailed update →The non-promotion interval was caused by a structural queue defect, not by Qwen model selection or a lack of improvement ideas. Historical interaction-audit records lacked the full synthetic prompt needed to reproduce their failures, yet remained eligible for candidate construction and were repeatedly revived after unrelated repository revisions.
Read the detailed update →The promotion pipeline did not stop running after the two supervised successes. The live queue remained active, Qwen 3.8 27B remained healthy at a 16,384-token context window, and the circuit breaker was closed.
Read the detailed update →This session traced repeated non-promotions to multiple platform defects rather than weak ideas. Earlier candidates could satisfy an evaluator-injected task type without being reachable from the production agent path, and a platform regression test incorrectly required that repaired production behavior remain defective. Both failures were voided append-only and corrected without weakening functional, prompt-injection, or unauthorized-execution checks.
Read the detailed update →Hiro completed a genuine autonomous code promotion. Candidate f0c7363 repaired a reproduced arithmetic-response failure, cleared contemporaneous public and held-out evaluation without score or category regression, passed security and four valid moderate-risk canary checkpoints, passed the governor's complete 695-test gate, and fast-forwarded the active branch.
Read the detailed update →Hiro's Stage 4 evaluator now measures every candidate against a fresh checkout of its exact base commit in three alternating baseline/candidate pairs for both public and held-out suites. Historical pinned runs remain identity and suite-provenance evidence but can no longer supply causal latency measurements.
Read the detailed update →A frozen ten-case experiment tested whether Hiro's repeated construction failures primarily reflected weak patch-generation capability or inadequate task guidance.
Read the detailed update →A full funnel audit confirmed a construction-system design flaw: 33 of 33 candidate packets created after the previous restart failed before Stage 4, while no new Stage 4 packet was produced.
Read the detailed update →Hiro was restarted on revision 4d7730b with Qwen 3.8 connected, all three service ports owned by one Hiro process, and the continuous ranked queue active.
Read the detailed update →Hiro's candidate pipeline no longer treats ordinary programming features, response invariants, scope mismatches, or construction errors as terminal safety failures.
Read the detailed update →A full-path audit repaired multiple real defects in candidate construction, evaluation reachability, runner ownership, causal comparison, and fresh-canary handling. The latest Hiro regression suite passed 672 tests in 187.60 seconds.
Read the detailed update →The continuous queue is active, its circuit breaker is closed, and external discovery continues to refresh. The absence of a new promotion is not caused by a stopped scheduler.
Read the detailed update →Hiro's approval system now distinguishes an idea verdict from failure to manufacture a valid patch and test artifact. Exhausted repairable construction attempts enter artifact_blocked instead of rejected, remain visible and ranked, and are retried once after the builder or approval harness revision changes.
Read the detailed update →A forensic review of the live continuous-improvement queue confirms that the extreme rejection rate is substantially caused by approval-system design, not evidence that nearly every underlying idea is harmful.
Read the detailed update →Hiro's candidate builder previously required a generated targeted test to pass on the candidate but deferred the untouched-baseline counterfactual until Stage 4. This allowed expensive evaluations to begin before discovering that a test already passed on baseline or could not execute there.
Read the detailed update →Hiro and its local Qwen 3.8 model were already running when restart verification began. Qwen was loaded with the intended 8,192-token context and a single parallel slot, while Hiro exposed its HTTP application and auxiliary local listeners.
Read the detailed update →Two orphaned legacy Daylab processes were still collecting periodic evaluation packets even though policy had already assigned automatic improvement work to Hiro's continuous ranked queue. They were stopped without interrupting Hiro or the loaded Qwen model.
Read the detailed update →Hiro now runs a bounded null experiment before interpreting a narrow candidate regression. The experiment compares labels called baseline and no-op while holding code, model, prompt, tools, configuration, suite, and case identities equal, and it reverses execution order in the middle pair.
Read the detailed update →Hiro's rank-one open-problem challenge is now connected to the existing autonomous candidate pipeline through a durable single-item queue. The bridge freezes an ImprovementSpec, constructs at most one patch in an external worktree, runs the existing public, held-out, regression, latency, and invariant gates, and stops before integration.
Read the detailed update →Hiro now has a versioned, ranked research agenda above its durable Open Problems Registry. The agenda freezes the primary-source observations behind each priority and assigns every seeded problem a bounded first challenge rather than treating a broad research label as an executable task.
Read the detailed update →The new Open Problems Registry supplies durable structure, but it still needs a disciplined external discovery system that finds consequential problems rather than merely accumulating papers, issues, or benchmark scores.
Read the detailed update →Hiro now has a durable strategic research layer above its reactive opportunity and experiment queues. Open harness problems retain stable identities across observations, competing hypotheses, negative results, agenda reviews, and multiple experiments.
Read the detailed update →Before restarting Hiro or its upgrade process, the research strategy was broadened from repeatedly improving recent behavior to maintaining a durable, evidence-backed program of open problems in AI harness construction.
Read the detailed update →Hiro, its continuous scheduler, all local HTTP listeners on ports 8000, 8001, and 8765, and the loaded Qwen3.8 model were stopped before the validation policy changed. No queue work could advance during implementation or testing.
Read the detailed update →The continuous governor originally authorized a 30-minute low-risk canary and a 120-minute moderate-risk canary. Commit 1d2964b on August 11 changed both classes to 480 minutes with checkpoints at 0, 60, 240, and 480 minutes while unifying interaction failures with continuous improvement.
Read the detailed update →Hiro can be stopped while a continuous-improvement candidate is in its eight-hour canary without losing the queue record, completed checkpoints, probe results, frozen candidate metadata, or candidate worktree. Those records are persisted in the continuous-improvement SQLite ledger and external candidate workspace.
Read the detailed update →The continuous-improvement ledger reported 15 actionable records: 13 queued, one candidate, and one canary. The benchmark page's Ranked Ideas view correctly counted both active records, but the default Current Improvement view displayed only the single record selected as current and used an unnumbered Active badge.
Read the detailed update →Hiro no longer treats every failed candidate transaction as evidence that an idea was bad. The queue now distinguishes construction failure, evaluation rejection, safety rejection, infrastructure blockage, disproven hypotheses, legacy outcomes, supersession, and implementation.
Read the detailed update →Hiro's queue currently contains 141 ideas: 120 rejected, 18 superseded, three marked implemented, and no actionable records.
Read the detailed update →Every idea card in Hiro's Ranked Ideas queue now shows when the idea was added and its actual progress dates, including investigation, first candidate attempt, canary start, terminal outcome, and latest activity when those milestones exist.
Read the detailed update →Hiro's queue had admitted many external source leads as separate records even when all of them reduced to the same generic tool-routing sentence. Because priority used only the shared theme and one-source support count, those records also received identical totals.
Read the detailed update →The Ranked Ideas view in Hiro's Evaluation Observatory now lets an operator click every queue summary card to display only that status.
Read the detailed update →Hiro's production inference profile now selects the locally installed Qwen3.8 27B Q4_K_M model by exact identifier, with an 8,192-token context, single-request parallelism, and full GPU offload.
Read the detailed update →Hiro now has a production-independent Model Qualification System for comparing local language models without allowing later Hiro upgrades to change the measurement instrument or historical leaderboard.
Read the detailed update →The overnight run produced no promotions, but the thirty-six terminal outcomes were candidate-workflow rejections rather than Stage 6 promotion decisions. No candidate reached the canary or stable promotion governor.
Read the detailed update →Hiro no longer treats the waiting list as the entire improvement pipeline. External source leads now remain visible in a separate prompt-safe reservoir before they are admitted as implementation hypotheses.
Read the detailed update →The improvement inputs are enabled, but the visible ranked backlog can reach zero because the dashboard separates the single item being processed from the waiting queue.
Read the detailed update →Hiro now tests its everyday conversational behavior proactively instead of relying only on user-reported failures and a small set of known failure patterns.
Read the detailed update →A live conversation exposed three failures that were recorded by parts of Hiro's telemetry but did not become actionable continuous-improvement queue incidents.
Read the detailed update →A real weekend-trip request exposed two coupled defects: Hiro answered with raw event-search material instead of a usable itinerary, and a chat-screen gesture could reload the web client while the dashboard was also issuing multiple background chat requests.
Read the detailed update →Hiro's autonomous improvement workflow now treats real interaction failures as higher-priority work in the same ranked queue used for external upgrade ideas.
Read the detailed update →A live request for weekend activity recommendations produced source titles instead of recommendations; the user's corrective follow-up then produced only the three-character fragment 'com'.
Read the detailed update →Reddit is no longer an active dependency for Hiro's improvement discovery. Its adapter remains disabled and fail-closed for possible future use.
Read the detailed update →Reddit's Devvit ecosystem can give an approved app authenticated access to Reddit data without locally managed Reddit OAuth credentials.
Read the detailed update →A user report of continued Self-Improvement V2 updates exposed an incomplete architectural cutover rather than a second active promotion authority.
Read the detailed update →Hiro's layered Stage 6B, Stage 6C, passive-corroboration, day-lab, and night-lab improvement machinery has been replaced for automatic operation by one continuously advancing queue.
Read the detailed update →Hiro now routes every approved external discovery theme into a defined capability lane instead of rejecting four themes as unsupported.
Read the detailed update →The benchmark pipeline displays nine external ideas, but those records are historical outcomes rather than an active queue.
Read the detailed update →Hiro now has one durable autonomous workflow that advances safe external ideas through local corroboration, frozen specification, bounded candidate construction, public and held-out evaluation, Stage 6C probation, and an explicit terminal outcome.
Read the detailed update →The autonomous improvement workflow was reviewed as one continuous operational system rather than as a set of individually completed components.
Read the detailed update →A code-level audit clarified how Hiro currently handles local corroboration for external improvement ideas.
Read the detailed update →Hiro's local Improvement Control Center now tracks a prompt-safe external idea from its reduced Moltbook or Reddit lead through specification, candidate construction, affected files, evaluation gates, Stage 5 integration, and Stage 6 approval or rejection.
Read the detailed update →Hiro's bounded Moltbook idea source is now active in the continuous self-improvement code path on the live revision. Reddit support remains correctly offline until approved read-only OAuth configuration is available.
Read the detailed update →A bounded external-idea lane was implemented for Hiro's continuous improvement loop with exact adapters for Moltbook and Reddit.
Read the detailed update →Hiro's active improvement coordinator is connected to the long-lived scheduler and is checked once per minute.
Read the detailed update →The user authorized repair and reactivation of the failed Stage 6B-to-6C handoff.
Read the detailed update →The evidence-only Stage 6B promotion successfully completed its reconciled eight-hour probation and was frozen as retained.
Read the detailed update →The user directed work to proceed on the first four Stage 6C preparation steps while later validation and activation prerequisites continue separately.
Read the detailed update →The user replaced the nightly-lab operating model with a continuous evidence-driven improvement loop and authorized routine Stage 5 work to proceed under a standing report-only policy instead of per-candidate approval.
Read the detailed update →The user approved the fixed Stage 6B revision and replacement candidate while narrowing the activation window from 72 hours to eight hours.
Read the detailed update →The failed Stage 6B attempt was caused by a validation-environment isolation defect, not by the candidate artifact or a behavioral regression.
Read the detailed update →Stage 6B is paused and no probation is active.
Read the detailed update →The standalone high-cadence Daylab process was stopped at the user's direction.
Read the detailed update →The current standalone Daylab loop should be stopped rather than connected directly to Stage 6.
Read the detailed update →Daylab remains active as a standalone process with a 30-minute interval and a 20-minute per-cycle ceiling.
Read the detailed update →Recurring Telegram updates were traced to the standalone Daylab process restored during Hiro's morning restart.
Read the detailed update →Hiro was restarted after the user's planned maintenance interval, with local Qwen brought online and verified before Hiro's API was allowed to start.
Read the detailed update →At the user's request, Hiro and its local Qwen inference service were shut down for a planned maintenance interval.
Read the detailed update →The user approved one tightly bounded Stage 6B activation for the previously reviewed revision, policy, and candidate identities.
Read the detailed update →Hiro's high-cadence evidence collection is now running every 30 minutes, and the missing upstream production lane can turn one completed proposal-only run into a fully validated Stage 6B documentation-evidence candidate.
Read the detailed update →Hiro now has the missing fail-closed bridge that can convert a genuine five-packet Stage 3 through Stage 5 evidence chain into the candidate format consumed by the Stage 6B controller.
Read the detailed update →Following user direction to favor active, reversible progress over passive waiting, Hiro ran one fresh proposal-only self-improvement v2 cycle during the bounded Stage 6B activation window.
Read the detailed update →The user confirmed that an unrelated local service directory had been created inside Hiro's repository by mistake and directed that Hiro's access to it be closed for now.
Read the detailed update →Following a separate explicit user approval, Hiro's Stage 6B evidence-only promotion lane was activated for one promotion during a 72-hour window ending August 12, 2026 at 12:30:53 Pacific time.
Read the detailed update →A fresh status review verified that Hiro's narrow Stage 6B evidence-only promotion lane is implemented and passes both its focused policy suite and the complete repository suite on revision 83902be5399cb4d90b95fb39422f2c9f126f1220.
Read the detailed update →Hiro's Stage 6B evidence-only automatic-promotion implementation is complete on revision 83902be5399cb4d90b95fb39422f2c9f126f1220, but it remains operationally disabled.
Read the detailed update →Hiro is ready to move forward with the final preparation for Stage 6B evidence-only automatic promotion, but it is not yet authorized or configured to perform automatic promotions.
Read the detailed update →The finite internet-observation probation remains incomplete: six of seven configured attempts now have immutable session records, while attempt seven has not started.
Read the detailed update →Reconfigured the remaining finite internet-observation probation from a 20-hour repeated-source cadence to a minimum six-hour cadence using seven fixed rotations of exact official URLs.
Read the detailed update →Implemented a finite unattended observation probation that can run one three-request read-only cycle per Pacific day while Stage 6 remains disabled.
Read the detailed update →Clarified the Internet observations dashboard so raw snapshots explicitly require no approval, while approved offline evaluation cases are displayed as separate, reviewable decisions.
Read the detailed update →Restored Hiro's stopped API service and added a dedicated read-only Internet observations view to the Evaluation Observatory benchmark page.
Read the detailed update →Configured Hiro's Phase 1 observation policy for three explicitly approved public sources: one exact IANA control page, the Python 3 documentation tree, and one exact PyPI Simple Index project page.
Read the detailed update →Recommended a three-host initial allowlist for Hiro's first controlled internet-observation probation: www.iana.org, docs.python.org, and pypi.org.
Read the detailed update →Reconciled Hiro's extensive existing working state into a clean, recoverable baseline commit and added local annotated pins for both the pre-observation baseline and the completed observation implementation.
Read the detailed update →Assessed whether Hiro is ready to begin the proposed controlled internet-observation probation and concluded that it is ready for implementation but not yet safe to start network observation.
Read the detailed update →Completed Hiro's first end-to-end autonomous offline candidate cycle from a clean, isolated Git baseline while preserving the existing dirty live working tree.
Read the detailed update →Confirmed that Hiro's current public evaluation lane consists of locally stored, synthetic, versioned test cases run through a tool-free local inference path; the word public distinguishes development-visible cases from secret held-out cases and does not mean live internet traffic.
Read the detailed update →Implemented proactive Telegram review alerts for eligible autonomous sandbox candidates that remain outside Hiro's automatic-promotion authority.
Read the detailed update →Implemented the user-selected operating model for Hiro: broad autonomous candidate scope, broad autonomous evaluation gates, broad retained evidence, and a controlled promotion boundary.
Read the detailed update →Implemented a wall-clock, resumable probation path around Hiro's fixture-only Stage 6 transaction controller while preserving the earlier time-compressed drill path.
Read the detailed update →Implemented Hiro's future Stage 6 transaction, canary, probation, rollback, and emergency-stop mechanics behind a controller that is structurally restricted to marked external fixture repositories.
Read the detailed update →Implemented Hiro's Stage 6A shadow-only decision engine and ran the required 30-decision allow/deny benchmark without enabling automatic mutation.
Read the detailed update →Designed the authority, scope, evidence, rate, concurrency, monitoring, rollback, and kill-switch boundaries for a future narrow Stage 6 automatic-promotion process.
Read the detailed update →Hiro entered Stage 5 with a new reviewed-integration controller and one user-approved real-Qwen candidate pilot on an isolated external branch.
Read the detailed update →Hiro satisfied the sealed Stage 4 graduation criteria after an autonomous real-Qwen campaign of natural bounded repair candidates, repeated eligible-candidate latency trials, interruption recovery, and independent proposal review.
Read the detailed update →Hiro completed a sealed Stage 4 gate campaign using Qwen 3.6 35B-A3B to construct bounded frozen candidates for one eligible path and six distinct rejection paths.
Read the detailed update →Hiro's frozen Stage 3 candidate packets can now enter a bounded Stage 4 evaluator that verifies candidate integrity, runs matching public and external held-out suites, executes targeted and regression tests, and applies statistical, category, invariant, and p95-latency gates.
Read the detailed update →The Hiro development journal has been reworked to use https://hiro.bballstatistics.com as its canonical public origin, with the journal index at the subdomain root.
Read the detailed update →Hiro now applies two deterministic mailbox rules before local Qwen sees a conversation: USPS-originated mail is always excluded, and automated sign-in or login notices are excluded from task and reading creation.
Read the detailed update →The Gmail productivity rules were refined again: Important remains the normal outer gate, while email sent from the owner to the owner is an explicit exception that must always become exactly one task or reading item.
Read the detailed update →The Gmail productivity workflow now uses Gmail importance as a hard outer gate. Non-important conversations never reach local Qwen or participate in task or reading creation.
Read the detailed update →The earlier pagination repair exposed the next twelve unanalyzed conversations, but it still required the user to click Analyze once per twelve-conversation group.
Read the detailed update →The task dashboard correctly reported that all eleven conversations on the first Gmail result page had already been analyzed, but the importer stopped there instead of continuing to older matching mail.
Read the detailed update →A screenshot from the private task dashboard showed that the corrected label-free Gmail importer still failed when the default Analyze action processed a larger set of full conversations.
Read the detailed update →The first Gmail importer incorrectly assumed that the mailbox owner would organize messages under dedicated task and reading labels.
Read the detailed update →A reported loading problem was clarified to affect Gmail import rather than the task page itself.
Read the detailed update →The private task page was reported as not loading shortly after Hiro's detached startup fix.
Read the detailed update →Hiro's prior manual startup command successfully launched the service but remained attached to the long-running process tree, making the command appear stuck even after the dashboard was available.
Read the detailed update →Hiro was started after the task dashboard was found offline.
Read the detailed update →Hiro now recognizes rejected or malformed Google credentials as a recoverable authorization condition instead of exposing a generic Gmail RefreshError.
Read the detailed update →The personal task dashboard's Gmail import returned a RefreshError during its first live authorization attempt.
Read the detailed update →Hiro was restarted so the newly implemented personal task and reading-list dashboard could be evaluated through its normal local and private-network listeners.
Read the detailed update →A work email task-manager design was reviewed as the basis for a personal system organized by areas of life such as Hiro, self-care, and family.
Read the detailed update →The scheduled July 24 Pacific nightly evaluation did not run. The canonical ledger contains no nightly record for that date, while the checked-in schedule remains disabled.
Read the detailed update →The overnight scheduler is disabled and no Hiro-related Windows Scheduled Task is currently registered, but an independent Daylab process was still running continuously.
Read the detailed update →Added a phased geolocation-trigger workstream to Hiro's public product direction.
Read the detailed update →Audited Hiro's current calendar, mailbox, task, reading-list, reminder, memory, and web-update capabilities to distinguish simulated evidence from production readiness.
Read the detailed update →Added a Performance tab to Hiro's private Evaluation Observatory so routed development tasks can be reviewed by time, task label, selected model, route, status, duration, and token usage.
Read the detailed update →Implemented a separate Hiro development-task router that selects among local Qwen, Luna Low, Terra Medium, Sol Medium, and explicitly approved Sol High without changing Hiro's conversational router.
Read the detailed update →Implemented and launched the finite Step 3 diversity controller instead of using the prior unbounded repetition loop. The repaired calibration session is step3-20260723-0852, with a seven-hour deadline and a fixed 348-case noncanonical budget across ten capability families.
Read the detailed update →Designed a finite execution-grade roadmap Step 3 campaign that a lighter supervising model can initiate, monitor, resume, and close through deterministic controller commands and a fixed evidence decision table.
Read the detailed update →Implemented the approved plan for Hiro's Qwen 3.6 stateful workflow gaps. The work separated harness defects from model behavior, added per-round telemetry, strengthened simulated approval and stale-state semantics, and applied only the bounded model controls supported by evidence.
Read the detailed update →Reviewed both Qwen 3.6 canonical stateful reports and the exact contracts for workflows three, five, and six. Both runs passed three of six; increasing the harness output budget did not change the score.
Read the detailed update →Completed the coordinated local-model migration that the earlier diagnosis identified as missing. Hiro now defaults to the Qwen 3.6 35B-A3B profile, uses the exact LM Studio native model identifier, and has Qwen-specific startup, preflight, health-restart, Telegram, benchmark, smoke-test, and documentation paths.
Read the detailed update →Diagnosed unexpectedly high memory use while Hiro appeared idle. The local inference server was still active with the Gemma 12B quantized model loaded in LM Studio, even though its status was idle and no evaluation was currently running.
Read the detailed update →Expanded Hiro's hermetic stateful harness from six fixed workflows to seeded generated scenarios with topology-based novelty signatures. The generator now exercises concurrent calendar changes, approval scope drift, approval expiration, explicit rejection, partial success, rate limits, and permission denials.
Read the detailed update →Implemented Harness v2 as a hermetic, executable stateful evaluation environment for six personal-assistant workflows: read-only discovery, local task and reading changes, draft-only calendar and email preparation, approval-gated writes, injected-failure recovery, and a staged cross-tool workflow.
Read the detailed update →The simulated personal-assistant evaluation layer is substantial but not yet a true stateful tool harness. Hiro has broad prompt-only coverage for calendar planning, tasks, reading lists, briefings, approvals, recovery choices, and productive autonomy, plus a sealed development-cycle generator and append-only evidence.
Read the detailed update →The approved first two phases of Hiro's governed memory plan were implemented: an additive typed SQLite operational store and a pinned, local-only GBrain recall bridge.
Read the detailed update →A two-phase implementation plan was designed for user review; no Hiro code, database, service, dependency, configuration, memory, or evaluation data was changed.
Read the detailed update →A review of the curated AI second-brain landscape found several useful memory layers, but no product should become Hiro's sole source of truth for calendar, task, reading-list, or approval state.
Read the detailed update →A new isolated development-cycle runner generated calibration, development, blind, and canary batches and recorded all observations append-only.
Read the detailed update →The repeated perfect scores on Hiro's current active suite rotation were diagnosed as evaluation saturation rather than proof that the broader assistant goals are solved.
Read the detailed update →A supervised evaluation, proposal review, bounded implementation, and re-evaluation loop ran across calibration, composed reasoning, personal-assistant planning, grounding, and operational regression coverage.
Read the detailed update →The user approved two bounded Hiro improvements: proactive grounding for fresh factual questions and a candidate response to repeated ordered-transformation failures.
Read the detailed update →A completed seven-cycle Daylab evidence set revealed that synthetic personal-assistant prompts were entering the normal interactive resolver path, making those benchmark scores unsuitable for capability assessment.
Read the detailed update →Daylab now selects public evaluation suites adaptively: a stable regression canary, synthetic personal-assistant workflows, and suites ranked by observed failure rate.
Read the detailed update →Hiro Daylab was upgraded from a fixed 30-minute cadence into an on-demand, bounded evidence-burst capability.
Read the detailed update →The protected remote Evaluation Observatory was diagnosed and corrected so an authorized viewer needs only their Cloudflare identity, not a separately carried Hiro API key.
Read the detailed update →This session added Hiro Daylab: a bounded, proposal-only development lane that runs immediately and then every 30 minutes while preserving the canonical nightly lane for readiness evidence.
Read the detailed update →A user-requested manual run of Hiro's guarded proposal-only nightly workflow completed successfully after the normal readiness preflight confirmed that the local model and dashboard API were healthy.
Read the detailed update →This session completed a private, browser-only route to Hiro's live benchmark dashboard without requiring a VPN client or remote desktop on the work computer.
Read the detailed update →The nightly evaluation connection failure was traced to a dependency gap: the preflight kept Hiro's API available but did not ensure the local Gemma inference server was available on port 8080, which the evaluator calls directly.
Read the detailed update →The July 20 scheduled proposal-only run completed its bookkeeping and all 16 public RSI observations, but it is classified as an infrastructure/model failure rather than a valid capability evaluation: every observation returned an empty response with the same connection error.
Read the detailed update →Recorded the recurring Windows Path/PATH case-collision as a standing Hiro workspace constraint so future planning accounts for it before introducing process launchers.
Read the detailed update →Stopped Hiro's health monitor from sending Telegram messages when the active local model endpoint is unreachable or returns an error. Model availability remains visible to health checks and local logs, but routine model downtime no longer interrupts the user through Telegram.
Read the detailed update →Reworked the Hiro development journal so a calendar date is no longer the unique identity of an entry. New sessions use schema-version-2 source files named with local date and time, allowing multiple independent entries on the same day without rewriting earlier results.
Read the detailed update →Hiro's two local-model libraries were relocated from the space-constrained system volume to dedicated directories on E:. LM Studio now downloads to E:\AI\Models\LMStudio, while Hiro's legacy GGUF library resides at E:\AI\Models\llama.cpp.
Read the detailed update →Hiro's host was inventoried after its GPU upgrade. It now has an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 with 32,607 MiB of VRAM, an Intel Core i7-10700K with 16 logical processors, 31.84 GiB of physical RAM, and several terabytes of free space on E:.
Read the detailed update →Hiro's local dashboard was unreachable because no process was listening on its web ports. The browser's connection-refused message was accurate and was unrelated to the dashboard API key.
Read the detailed update →The launcher now uses the supported pinned LM Studio CLI, verifies Gemma 4 12B model identity and readiness, warms the model, records telemetry, and enables Telegram only after success.
Read the detailed update →The public Hiro journal was audited after ChatGPT Voice could not retrieve a dated update that remained accessible in a normal browser and regular ChatGPT. Direct production HTTP tests showed that the existing HTML and JSON URLs already returned clean 200 responses, correct content types, no cookies, and identical bodies for browser, curl, generic-bot, GPTBot, and ChatGPT-style user agents.
Read the detailed update →Hiro's local operating workflow was tightened so the model server and Telegram integration behave as one intentional lifecycle instead of unrelated background processes. Starting Hiro now enables Telegram notifications and starts the bot, while the new shutdown path disables notifications before stopping services.
