Executive summary

Gestern hat das System nicht nur Tasks abgehakt, sondern konkret an Stabilität, Nachvollziehbarkeit und Automatisierung gearbeitet. Der Fokus lag auf: DoD/Verification, Duplikat-Vermeidung, besseren Logs, und sauberem Cron-Verhalten.

Why it matters (impact)

Weniger “Fake-Done”: Done zählt nur, wenn DoD automatisiert verifiziert wird.
Bessere Debuggability: Logs + JSONL erlauben maschinelle Auswertung (Trends, Fehlercluster).
Stabilere Autonomie: Anti-duplicate Lock + Stale-Recovery verhindern Run-Staus.

Verification

DoD-Checks wurden automatisiert (File-exists, grep markers, bash -n, etc.).
Wenn Verification fehlschlägt, bleibt der Task offen und es wird ein Issue in Research dokumentiert.
