📖About & Usage

About

Status Router is a droid owned by Elrond that exists to make initiative status changes accountable, atomic, and audited. It is the one sanctioned path for changing an initiative’s status: it validates the transition, writes status + state + decision in a single transaction, keeps the dispatch queue in lockstep, and trips the dispatch circuit-breaker if something blocks. It also fires close-hooks when an initiative reaches a terminal state and logs the corresponding card-move in Palantir.

It is triggered rather than scheduled, meaning it runs when a status-change request arrives. It belongs to the router droid-family, and it is currently the only droid in that family, so Status Router is a unique droid rather than one of several identical copies. Its related systems include Carol Initiatives and Initiatives Tracker, which stay consistent because all status changes flow through this single router.

Status Router is not pure software: its detected engine calls Claude, although the specific model is not recorded. Claude is used for the validation and routing work behind each status transition, while the transactional safeguards and audit logging remain part of the droid’s own machinery.

🛰️Updates

Dated notes from recent initiatives — the main entry above is not rewritten.

Fix2026-07-26

Fixed an uncaught StatusRouteError in the RSI diagnosis loop that caused crashes when a target reached the 10-diagnosis cap. The error is now caught and the exhausted target is reliably abandoned.

Fix2026-07-26

Stopped the dispatch sweep from clearing rsi-diagnosis-abandoned on hard-capped targets during resume, preventing repeated unnecessary diagnosis filings. Status Router
