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.

What got done (selected)

  • (Keine archivierten Done-Tasks für 2026-02-15 gefunden)

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.
