Conversation record — issue resolution and Work Unit track closure

Date: 2026-08-29
Repository: MSKazemi/idkmesh

User instruction

The project owner asked:

Can you solve the issues and merge to the main branch?

Live repository audit

The repository was re-read before making changes.

Observed state:

• main is now protected and requires the Phase 0 gate checks on Python 3.11 and 3.13;
• there were no open pull requests at the beginning of this pass;
• several open issues are intentionally human-, community-, or experiment-gated and cannot be truthfully closed by automation alone;
• historical canonical-node PR #159 is closed unmerged and its separate-human-review issue #138 remains open, so that worker boundary must not be bypassed;
• issue #15 remained open even though the repository already contains WorkUnit v0.1/v0.2, ResultManifest, VerificationResult, EvaluatorPlan, decomposition benchmark, graph, and provenance contracts.

Selected bounded issue

Issue #15 — Research Track 3: Define a formal Work Unit for composable distributed work — was selected because its protocol-definition deliverables have materially converged while its remaining hypotheses are empirical research questions.

The change does not introduce another protocol. It records the current canonical boundary:

Goal / project policy
  -> WorkUnit v0.2
  -> worker adapter
  -> ResultManifest v0.1
  -> verifier-owned EvaluatorPlan
  -> VerificationResult v0.1
  -> explicit integration decision

A2A, MCP, OpenHands, mini-SWE-agent, local nodes, and future adapters should map into this semantic contract rather than redefine it.

Safety and governance boundaries preserved

This pass does not:

• pretend to provide the separate human review required by #138;
• activate ACE autonomous actuation;
• treat CI success as independent approval;
• create a new Work Unit schema merely to close an issue;
• merge stale branches wholesale;
• claim the remaining Work Unit hypotheses are empirically proven.

The closure map explicitly separates completed protocol-definition work from open empirical questions such as optimal granularity, uncertainty/rework effects, context/coordination trade-offs, and decomposition strategy performance.

Integration procedure

A fresh branch was created from current protected main:

closure/work-unit-research-track-15

The branch adds the Work Unit completion map and this public chat-output record. Integration proceeds through a normal pull request against protected main, exact-head CI verification, and merge only if the required protected-main checks pass.
