📖About

Ground Carolverse deeper into Azure (beyond a standalone VM) and stand up Hagrid's infra self-improvement loop. Deliverables via Orion bypass: (1) 'Infra Roadmap' app owned by Hagrid (agt_015), replicating the EXACT design pattern of the Carolverse Roadmap app (track -> phase -> item cards, dark violet theme) but focused on Azure grounding across security, scalability, reliability/availability, cost/efficiency, transparency/observability, accessibility, robustness; (2) Prometheus defines 2-3 continuous-improvement measures for Hagrid's infra service (Hagrid improves, Prometheus measures) via the add-rsi-measure governance; (3) a NEW policy for ALL self-improvement initiatives: every service owner keeps a clearly-defined improvement roadmap and files only ONE self-improvement initiative at a time, filing the next only after being satisfied with the current one's UAT results; (4) a Carolopedia infra self-improvement page explaining the loop (roadmap -> one initiative -> Elrond's team builds -> Prometheus measures); (5) a vision blog in Orion's Logbook on how Carolverse infrastructure improves in the near future. Hagrid improves using Elrond's services (files initiatives implemented by Elrond's team).

⚖️Decisions

• Elrond's bypass methodology checklist (a reminder, not a gate -- you've got this): 0. File it requested_mode='bypass' (planner-vs-bypass is a deliberate choice). bypass_start REFUSES a non-bypass initiative (CAROL-INI-1846), and the dispatcher only skips the bypass lane when the mode says bypass -- a 'planner' mistag lets Merlin's pipeline grab the placeholder step and block your finished work. 1. Filed as planned status -- let the bypass claim/activate it; never file active. 2. Open the bypass (bypass_start) with your droid id + the remediation answer (remediates_initiative_id=NNN, or remediates_nothing=True). 3. Work the blocks for your work-type: template -> design -> code -> test -> review. Do the real work; record decisions on the initiative as you make them. 4. Reality is recorded for you at close -- code (files changed), each decision, and the twin-review verdict become real activities tied to this initiative and show in the Activity Tracker like a planner run (CAROL-INI-1840). No dummy rows. 5. Keep the initiative status moving; it parks in 'reviewing' and is tagged uat-pending for you at close (CAROL-INI-1836), so the stuck-watchdog leaves it alone until UAT. 6. Close runs the gates (design/architecture compliance + caller-audit). If a gate flags something pre-existing or unrelated to your change, waive it with a clear written rationale -- audit, don't skip. 7. Bypass skips the planner's auto-orchestration, NOT the standards. Same template checklist, same review, same observability as a planner run. (elrond)
• Current state at filing (Elrond validity check): The Carolverse has several registered apps (initiatives, carolopedia, roadmap, orion-logbook, RSI dashboard) and many closed initiatives, but there is no Infra Roadmap app owned by Hagrid, no policy limiting service owners to one self-improvement initiative at a time, no Carolopedia infra self-improvement loop page, and no vision blog about infrastructure improvement in Orion's Logbook. Prometheus has the RSI measure governance from CAROL-INI-3040 but hasn't defined measures for Hagrid's infra service yet. (elrond)
• [status-router] planned -> executing | event=bypass_executing | bypass transition (or-bx-01)
• Infra Roadmap app replicates the Carolverse Roadmap content design (track->phase->cards, violet theme) inside canonical shared chrome per Sage's add-new-app skill — Matches the requested design pattern AND passes the app-build hard/soft gates (one header, owner Hagrid, login chip, dark palette). (orion)
• Prometheus defines 2 improvement measures for Hagrid: infra_compliance (Azure Policy checks passing) + azure_grounding (roadmap delivered) — Both are measurable live from the two infra apps; complement Hagrid's existing 3 health measures. Collector + owner-driven improver droids registered with run-audit + cron. (orion)
• Self-improvement is one-initiative-at-a-time, enforced by roadmap state (in_progress item blocks the next) — Reliable local guard (the list API omits tags); the roadmap IS the source of truth for what's in flight. Advances to the next only when the current initiative closes (UAT-accepted). (orion)
• Seeded the loop: the improver filed Hagrid's first self-improvement initiative (Secrets into Key Vault) through Elrond's Creator — Proves the whole loop end-to-end (measure below target -> file next roadmap item -> Elrond's team -> Prometheus); 1-at-a-time then blocks a second. (orion)
• [status-router] executing -> reviewing | event=bypass_reviewing | bypass transition (or-bx-01)
• [status-router] reviewing -> closed | event=operator_signoff | Auto-accepted (CAROL-INI-1859): Orion-initiated, >2 days in reviewing with no objection. (el-srac-01)

✅Success criteria
