34## Decisions
35 
36```text
37T+00:00 decision: run initialized
38reason: file-based research loop created durable state
39evidence: researcher/runs/20260515-035228-executable-autonomous-research-frameworks
40next: fill source evaluation and skill proposal
41 
42T+05:16 decision: deep research result captured
43reason: Parallel returned implementable framework patterns for deterministic validation, durable scratchpads, novelty gates, pairwise skill evaluation, and auto-PR governance
44evidence: sources/evidence/deep-research-summary.md
45next: implement novelty and pairwise revision gates in a later loop

54## Open Questions
55 
56- None recorded.
57 
58## Handover Summary
59 
60- Best current candidate: deterministic validation plus durable run directories
61- Rejected candidates: none yet
62- Unresolved risks: source evaluation is a draft until rubric fields are completed
63- Files to read first: `THREAD.md`, `sources/evidence/deep-research-summary.md`, `reports/validation-report.md`
64- Next concrete action: implement novelty and pairwise revision gates

672026-05-15T05:19:20+00:00 decision: closed as reference-only
68reason: Seed run captured the deep-research evidence that bootstrapped the harness-engineering skill, the mechanism registry, and the researcher OS. Closed as reference-only: its raw evidence and THREAD.md remain as a worked example of the autonomous-loop lifecycle. The skill change itself was already published; no further PR derives from this run.
