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: The task states that the `scratch_pad` is missing updates for cycles 21-25. According to the 'Scratch_pad protocol' in the operating principles, the `scratch_pad` must be updated at every cycle to include: 'Current step and a brief summary of the result', 'Remaining goals', 'Notes and assumptions', and a 'Progress counter'.

To rectify this immediately before proceeding, I need to retroactively update the `scratch_pad` with the details of what occurred during cycles 21, 22, 23, and 24, as well as the current state for cycle 25, based on the provided trajectory.

Specifically, I would record:
- **Cycle 21**: The drafting of the initial Markdown review and saving it to `draft_review_351`.
- **Cycle 22**: The uncertainty regarding architectural sign-off and the action of triggering `request_user_input` for guidance.
- **Cycle 23**: The state of waiting for user input.
- **Cycle 24**: The receipt of the lead's answer granting approval with a condition.
- **Cycle 25**: The current state, which is being ready to finalise and publish the review, incorporating the lead's feedback.

Response: Immediately update the `scratch_pad` to reflect the activities, results, and state for cycles 21 through 25, adhering to the 'Scratch_pad protocol' by including the current step, a brief summary of the result, remaining goals, notes, assumptions, and a progress counter for each of those cycles based on the provided trajectory.
