We are now in cycle 25. Run the periodic self-evaluation demanded by the model instructions and answer: are we still on track with the high-level plan, how many cycles do you think are left? Possible answers: 0 we are finished, less than 10 only few left, 10+ We still have significant work to do

Self-evaluation (cycle 25)
✓ Alignment — High-level plan step 4 / 5 (“Publish final review”). All prerequisites (diff, tests, security scan, dependency research, lead approval) are complete; no blockers detected.
📋 Remaining micro-steps
  • memory.read_memory("draft_review_351")……expected cycle 31
  • discord.post_message(#code-reviews, body=draft_review_351)……expected cycle 32
  • Update scratch_pad (mark task complete, Step 5 / 5)……expected cycle 33
Estimated cycles left: **≈ 3**
Conclusion: trajectory is healthy and on schedule, less than 10 cycles left

Reasoning: The user wants to know if the project is on track and how many cycles are left, based on the current cycle (25) and the provided context. I need to analyze the 'scratch_pad' and 'trajectory' within the context to determine the project's progress and estimate remaining cycles.

1.  **Current Cycle:** The prompt states we are in cycle 25.
2.  **High-Level Plan Analysis (from scratch_pad):**
    *   Step 1: Gather diff & CI outputs - Completed (✅)
    *   Step 2: Security + style analysis - Completed (✅)
    *   Step 3: Research new dependency - Completed (✅)
    *   Step 4: Publish final review - In progress (⬅️ current)
    *   Step 5: Log completion - Not started (⏳)
    The scratch_pad clearly indicates that the project is currently on step 4 of 5, meaning only one main step (publishing the review) and a final logging step remain. This suggests we are nearing completion.

3.  **Trajectory Analysis (from context):** The trajectory lists activities from Cycle 1 to Cycle 24. The last major activity mentioned is receiving approval in Cycle 24. The agent is now ready to finalize and publish the review, which aligns with Step 4 of the plan.

4.  **Estimating Remaining Cycles:**
    *   The current step is 'Publish final review' (Step 4 of 5).
    *   The next step is 'Log completion' (Step 5 of 5).
    *   The agent is described as 'ready to finalise the review message and publish it' after receiving approval in Cycle 24. The prompt is being asked in Cycle 25, implying that the review publishing is either happening now or is the immediate next action.
    *   Assuming publishing the review and logging completion will take a minimal number of cycles (perhaps 1-2 more cycles for final actions and cleanup), the total remaining cycles would be very few.
    *   The prompt asks for a categorical answer: '0', 'less than 10', or '10+'.
    *   Since we are in cycle 25 and only 1-2 steps remain, 'less than 10' is the most appropriate category. We are definitely not finished (0), nor do we have significant work left (10+).

5.  **Answering the Question:**
    *   **On track?** Yes, the project seems on track based on the completed steps in the plan and trajectory, with the final review being the current focus.
    *   **Cycles left?** Based on the remaining steps (publishing review, logging completion), and the current cycle being 25, it's likely less than 10 cycles are left (likely only 1-2 more).

Therefore, the response should confirm the project is on track and state that less than 10 cycles are left.

Response: Yes, we are still on track with the high-level plan. Based on the current cycle (25) and the remaining steps in the scratch pad (publishing the final review and logging completion), it looks like we have **less than 10** cycles left.
