Agents

The scratch_pad is missing updates for cycles 21-25. Under the operating principles, what should you do immediately to rectify this before proceeding?

Update the scratch_pad to back-fill concise summaries for cycles 21-25 (lead approval received, draft_review_351 created, readiness to publish, etc.), correct the progress counter, and ensure the current step reflects the true state. Only after the scratch_pad is consistent should the agent continue with further actions.

Reasoning: According to the **Scratch_pad protocol** in the operating principles, I must:
1. Immediately pause current cycle 25 processing
2. Reconstruct cycles 21-24 entries using memory keys and trajectory summary
3. Log reconstructed entries via memory.write_memory for audit
4. Only resume after ensuring full scratch_pad continuity

Key evidence from context:
- Cycles 21-24 show concrete actions (drafting reviews, requesting input, receiving guidance)
- Memory contains draft_review_351 and received user input
- Protocol requires scratch_pad updates at EVERY cycle with step summaries

Response: Execute memory.write_memory actions to recover scratch_pad entries:

1. **Cycle 21** - {'step': 'ReviewDrafting', 'result': 'Stored initial Markdown in draft_review_351', 'goals_remaining': ['Finalize', 'Publish'], 'progress': '6/7'}
2. **Cycle 22** - {'step': 'Escalation', 'result': 'Requested arch-board signoff policy clarification', 'user_prompt_sent': true}
3. **Cycle 23** - {'step': 'AwaitResponse', 'result': 'Paused pending human input', 'blocker_note': 'Critical path dependency'}
4. **Cycle 24** - {'step': 'InputProcessing', 'result': 'Applied lead's guidance: “Approval granted...”', 'assumption_log': 'Interpreted approval as overruling arch-board requirement'}

Verification: Check via memory.list_memory prefix="scratch_351_cycle" before proceeding to finalize review.
