Go ahead and work on the issues.
The repository instructions supplied with the request required current-issue
inspection, bounded pull requests, exact-diff review, green current-head
evidence, and a fresh main snapshot after every integration.
The live tracker and open pull requests were inspected before changing files.
Issue #152 was not used as a machine-work target because its remaining gate is
genuinely independent human review under #167. While PR #310 was being checked,
it merged externally; the workspace was refreshed to canonical main at
90e5cb8 rather than continuing on its stale source branch.
The next bounded issue #5 slice is frozen Phase B2 Task 002:
9c53bb4069a5db1c0688dbbe7a8f028540cbf7c2;definition_digest fails for that field;The plan was posted publicly on issue #5 before implementation.
The worker harness operates on an isolated checkout. Candidate code is not executed by the metadata verifier. The weakened-validator probe runs only in a separate subprocess and does not alter the frozen schema or candidate patch. The harness grants no canonical write, push, merge, or automatic-selection authority.
The replay test and retained diagnostics let another contributor reproduce the Task 002 result without relying on this chat or on a transient CI artifact.
