    "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.",
    "Hiro is healthy on acc8b033effb415f3ab644d18ae86f77da8883ec. The running revision matches the tested promoted revision. The controller has already begun another candidate."

        "Candidate sandbox-20260914050705-ad6506e1-01 changes the existing response boundary to accept a correct numeric addition answer before the generic minimum-length rejection. Timeout handling remains earlier. No new framework, controller or model service was introduced.",
        "The successful construction packet records one local repair attempt. Its source-inspection arrays are empty; the earlier separate live source-inspection fixture supplies that capability evidence. Do not claim this candidate requested source reads.",
        "Independent evaluation returned eligible_for_controlled_integration; isolated Stage5 returned monitoring_passed. The canonical controller then completed0/5/15/60-minute canary checkpoints and promoted revisionacc8b033effb415f3ab644d18ae86f77da8883ec.",
        "All three post-activation executions passed, including fresh actual model inference through the production response boundary. The promotion transaction is finalized and the idea is implemented."

  "decisions": [
    "Paused the bounded Codex follow-up because its fresh-implementation completion criterion is satisfied. Hiro itself remains running and its canonical controller continues autonomously.",

  "limitations": [
    "This demonstrates one fresh end-to-end improvement after pipeline repairs, not reliable arbitrary self-improvement or completed recursive improvement of the builder itself.",
