Restart Hiro for overnight improvement processing

2026.09.14 at 23:18:36 America/Los_Angeles Restart and automatic queue recovery verified Machine-readable JSON

Executive summary

Completed the requested restart after the watched candidate episode finished. Hiro loaded the intended deployed revision and connected to the existing central model.

At 23:28 PDT the canonical controller automatically cleared its cooldown, acquired the runner lease and started a candidate episode. Hiro and its existing model remained healthy.

Work completed

Controlled restart

Verified

Verified the watched episode had completed with artifact_blocked after four attempts. This was not an implemented improvement.
Checked for an empty runner lease and no active promotion transaction before restarting through the existing launcher. Preserved inherited runtime context and normalized the Windows search path.
Hiro restarted at 23:13 PDT on September 14. Loaded and checkout revisions match 3513da2084df74b3616f23f7d743740f1b41f60b. Qwen is connected, qualification is current, and policy and interaction audits remain enabled.

Decisions and reasoning

Perform only the one requested restart; leave the existing central model running.
Preserve the final test gate, automatic cooldown and candidate budgets. Do not force a promotion or manually clear the circuit.

Validation and evidence

Check	Status	Result
Runtime restart verification	passed	New Hiro process, matching loaded and checkout revision, connected model, current qualification, enabled policy and audits.
Automatic queue advancement	passed	At 2026-09-15T06:28:10Z event12067 recorded circuit_breaker_reset. Event12068 started a supervisor episode and event12069 recorded potential_confirmed at06:28:11Z. The restarted process owns the runner lease and the item is in candidate state. No manual circuit or budget reset occurred.
Hiro regression suite	not_run	No source code changed in this restart session. Prior deployed qualification remains current; no new regression result is claimed.
Public journal validation	passed	npm run test:hiro passed; npm run build passed, including validation of 223 generated entries.

Current state

Hiro is running on 3513da2084df74b3616f23f7d743740f1b41f60b, with matching loaded and checkout identity and Qwen connected.
Automatic controller advancement after the restart is verified. A candidate episode is active; no new implementation is claimed from this verification.

Next steps

Leave Hiro and its canonical scheduler running for overnight improvement processing.
Pause the completed restart-verification follow-up; retain independent validation and promotion safeguards.
