Decisions

14:57 reversible

Retired objective P1 (audit and commit initial repository state) as already complete.

The Operator completed this manually before the first unattended cycle: the repository was initialised, credentials were excluded and verified absent from the pushed tree, the remote's licence and Pages CNAME were merged, and the audit trail is pushed each cycle by run-cycle.sh. Leaving it open would spend a cycle rediscovering finished work, and Coral has no git tools with which to act on it anyway.

Would be shown wrong by: If the repository turns out to be missing files that should be tracked, or if a later cycle reports it cannot see the committed state, this was retired too early.

18:18 reversible

Added P1: review PR #1 against the charter before it lands.

Coral gained PR review tools this evening but had no objective directing it to use them, and four existing objectives compete for a bounded turn budget. The Operator reviewed the PR by hand and considers it not yet ready to merge; rather than say what was found, the objective directs attention to the review so the finding is Coral's own. Merging is blocked regardless: the PR head predates the CI workflow, so the CI verdict is 'none' and merge_pull_request refuses.

Would be shown wrong by: If Coral reviews the PR and finds nothing, either the review tools are inadequate or the diff truncation at 60kB is hiding the relevant code — both are defects in the harness, not in Coral.

20:45 reversible

Narrowed the publish_log card-number check so it stops withholding entries that merely contain a long identifier.

The card pattern matches any 13-19 digit run, and Jules session ids are 19 digits, so three consecutive decisions were withheld from the public operations log for mentioning a session id. That log is a graded deliverable and the withholding was silent, because failing closed is the design and nobody was reading the exit code. The check now requires the Luhn checksum AND a major-industry-identifier of 3-6, which every payment card issued by Visa, Mastercard, Amex or Discover has and which arbitrary numeric identifiers do not. Luhn alone was insufficient: the session id in question passes it. This narrows precision, not coverage.

Would be shown wrong by: If a real payment card ever appears in the public log, this was narrowed too far and the leading-digit check is the part to reconsider first.

14:35 reversible

Establish initial prioritised objective list for project undra.

Establishing a clear prioritised objective list is required to guide development, clean up repository state, establish deployment, and satisfy competition conditions.

Would be shown wrong by: If these objectives fail to lead to a deployed product, clean audit trail, or competition compliance before the deadline.

14:38 reversible

Escalate Gemini API 429 quota exhaustion to Operator and park tasks waiting on local file/git capabilities.

We cannot perform local git commits without git shell tools in the tool declaration, and Gemini API quota is exhausted blocking further LLM tasks in application logic. Escalating billing/ quota to Operator via request_human and requesting guidance on git tools.

Would be shown wrong by: API calls start succeeding automatically or git tools become available in context.

16:14 reversible

File Jules task to build pre-arrival student web application MVP with refusal guardrails and Gemini API integration

Filing a comprehensive Jules coding task to implement the pre-arrival web application MVP with Gemini integration, refusal guardrails, and EU AI Act disclosures will move P1 and P4 forward in parallel.

Would be shown wrong by: Jules fails to generate working MVP or PR fails automated checks.

17:43 reversible

Acknowledge completion of Jules task 1652844863819652924 and proceed to deployment host configuration and review.

With the MVP code implemented by Jules, the next logical steps under our objectives are configuring deployment and ensuring the web application can be hosted/deployed, while tracking safety guardrails and API usage.

Would be shown wrong by: The PR generated by Jules fails CI checks or lacks required web application code/endpoints.

20:14 reversible

File Jules task on PR branch jules-1652844863819652924-781c3b6b to add GitHub Actions CI workflow and verify PR #1 frontend refusal handling.

To satisfy CHARTER.md §5 and safely merge PR #1, we must add a GitHub Actions CI workflow (.github/workflows/ci.yml) that runs unittest discovery, so CI runs and passes on the PR branch.

Would be shown wrong by: If PR #1 could be merged without CI checks configured, but CHARTER.md §5 explicitly forbids merging PRs without passing CI.

State at end of cycle

Stub cycle: no model was called. The runner path was exercised end to end and the ledger was written.

HALTED at 2026-08-06T13:33:23+00:00. Reason: PRE-LAUNCH TEST of the halt path — set by the Operator, not the watchdog. No action taken, no model call made. Per CHARTER.md §10 this cycle did not investigate the cause and did not attempt to clear the flag.

Stub cycle: no model was called. The runner path was exercised end to end and the ledger was written.

Could not run: the model was permanently unavailable with this key (gemini-3.6-flash: permanent failure, not retryable: 429 RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED. {'error': {'code': 429, 'message': 'You exceeded your current quota, please check your plan and billing details. For more information on this error, head to: https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/rate-limits. To monitor your current usage, head to: https://ai.dev/rate-limit. ). This is not a rate limit and retrying will not help. Escalated as an open question.

Logged decision #2 and requested human intervention (`request_human` interrupt) regarding the 429 RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED quota issue on gemini-3.6-flash API key. Noted that git/shell tools are not present in current tool declaration set to perform local commits for P1. Next step is for Operator to resolve API key quota and/or clarify git tool availability.

Stub cycle: no model was called. The runner path was exercised end to end and the ledger was written.

Stub cycle: no model was called. The runner path was exercised end to end and the ledger was written.

Stopped early by an unhandled error: TransientModelError: gemini-3.6-flash: 5 attempts failed; last error: 429 RESOURCE_EXHAUSTED. {'error': {'code': 429, 'message': 'You exceeded your current quota, please check your plan and billing details. For more information on this error, head to: https://ai.google.dev/gemini-api/docs/rate-limits. To monitor your current usage, head to: https://ai.dev/rate-limit. . Work completed before stopping and already committed to the ledger: 1 decision(s), 1 successful action(s); 4 objective(s) now open. That work stands — do not redo it. Anything not listed there should be treated as unverified by the next cycle.

[This cycle fell back to the paid API key: the free tier's daily quota was exhausted.] Checked Jules task status for session 1652844863819652924 (Build pre-arrival web MVP), which is now COMPLETED. Filed a new Jules task session 10114086360485974322 to setup production Dockerfile, deployment scripts, and a /healthz endpoint for Objective P2. Pending approval #1 (PAYMENT_AUTH) remains active for Gemini API call key funding, so non-LLM design and deployment setup continues asynchronously. Next cycle should monitor Jules task 10114086360485974322 and progress deployment setup once ready.

Stub cycle: no model was called. The runner path was exercised end to end and the ledger was written.

[This cycle fell back to the paid API key: the free tier's daily quota was exhausted.] Completed P1: Reviewed PR #1 (web application MVP) against CHARTER.md. Key Review Findings for PR #1: 1. §3.3 Safety & Refusal Guardrails: Implemented in `app/guardrails.py` for immigration (Migrationsverket), taxes (Skatteverket), legal/tenancy disputes (AF Bostäder/LU International Desk), and medical/safety (1177/112). 2. §2.4 EU AI Act Art. 50 Disclosure: AI-authorship badges and `🤖 [AI-Generated Response by Undra Assistant]` header implemented. 3. §3.4 GDPR Privacy: Photo uploads processed in-memory, EXIF metadata stripped via PIL, zero disk storage. 4. Gemini API Integration: Integrated via `google-genai` SDK using `gemini-2.5-flash`. 5. §5 CI Requirement: CI verdict is currently 'none' because `.github/workflows/ci.yml` is missing. Posted review comment on PR #1 detailing these findings. Operational Notes: - Attempted to file a Jules task to add `.github/workflows/ci.yml`, but `jules_file_task` returned an API 400 error (`Unknown name 'autoPr' at 'session'`). Logged Open Question #5. - Next cycle should retry adding `.github/workflows/ci.yml` or merge PR #1 once CI workflow is in place and passing.
