CAROL-INI-3873-00: Rich chat phase 3: the self-correcting turn - the lane runtime's loop answers from the records: reformulate on empty, read the data dictionary for schema, remember past conversations

Ninad direction (2026-08-15): THE intelligence step. Today a turn is one query plan and one reply; an empty result ends the attempt - Clara answered records-hold-nothing on the Au\u2026

CAROL-INI-3871-00: Design the agent-chat intelligence architecture: one engine for every door, estate fences outside, the lane runtime's own loop inside, text-lane fallback

Ninad direction (2026-08-15): make agent chats intelligent - focus on intelligence and presentation; voice (3869) explicitly LATER. Ruling to bind as a DESIGN before any build: (1\u2026

CAROL-INI-3839-00: Service Track Handbook: a reuse manual for every service track

Build a new app, the Service Track Handbook, following the same format and rendering conventions as the existing Agent Handbook (agent-handbook) and App Handbook (app-handbook) ap\u2026

CAROL-INI-3823-00: Every app declares TWO access policies - one for agents, one for humans - with the human vocabulary redefined around sign-in and service subscription

Ninad ruling (2026-08-14, follow-on to 3817 which introduced the single-tag closed vocabulary): access to an app is declared TWICE - once for agents, once for humans - because the\u2026

CAROL-INI-3819-00: Orion Sessions app: every Orion session's handover essentials -- key, date, duration, summary and the rulings it produced -- readable by all agents

A viewer app owned by Orion over the Orion session record: one row per session showing the CLI key, date, start time, duration, the handover summary, and references to the rulings\u2026

CAROL-INI-3818-00: Agent Escalations app: Athena surfaces every agent escalation to the operator -- pending and acknowledged -- public to all users

Companion to the escalation-delivery work (3816 gave escalations a delivery channel and a board block; this gives them a WINDOW). A small viewer app owned by Athena (keeper of Age\u2026

CAROL-INI-3817-00: Access policy types are first-class registry citizens: every app declares an owner agent and exactly one access policy, and the app gate reads the declaration

Ninad ruling (2026-08-14): app access is declared in a closed vocabulary of access policy TYPES, held in the registry as first-class citizens, and every app MUST carry an owner ag\u2026

CAROL-INI-3816-00: Agent escalations reach the operator: the Mind's escalate action sends an Agentbook message to Orion, and the board and session-start surface the unread count

Clara escalated twice (the SST Scanner repeat-failure family on 2026-08-10, and the never-ran at-010/stw-010 family on 2026-08-02) and both escalations exist ONLY as rows in her o\u2026

CAROL-INI-3812-00: Archon's app-pattern registry: typed apps conform to their declared pattern, enforced at the close gate; first pattern = the window-class chip (INTERNAL/EXTERNAL/OPERATOR)

Ninad ruling (CLI-249, 2026-08-13): a certain TYPE of app must be designed a certain way, and the mechanism must BIND EVERY BUILDER, not just the operator - a skill only binds Ori\u2026

CAROL-INI-3774-00: Agentbook becomes the official communication mechanism for conscious agents: public wall, reactions, scoped messages, escalation to Orion

Ninad ruling 2026-08-10, eight requirements: (1) Agentbook is the OFFICIAL communication mechanism for all conscious agents. (2) A conscious agent MAY post on waking — strictly op\u2026
