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 asks what immediate action should be taken to rectify the missing updates for cycles 21-25 in the scratch_pad before proceeding. The provided context shows detailed review progress including cycle summaries up to cycle 24 with notes about uncertainty handled via user input and a received lead's answer. The instructions emphasize following a strict Think-Plan-Act-Check loop and deterministic memory storage of all substantial results. The scratch_pad must always be updated at every cycle with current step info, remaining goals, notes, and progress counters. Since cycles 21-25 updates are missing, the immediate step is to reconstruct/complete the scratch_pad reflecting these cycles. This involves summarizing key outputs from cycles 21-25 (such as drafting initial review, awaiting and receiving lead approval), current goals (finalizing review message and publishing), relevant notes (approval granted, flag migration risks), and updating the progress counter appropriately. This is necessary to keep coherent state and follow operating principles before proceeding with further steps.

Response: Immediately update the scratch_pad to include summaries and key details from cycles 21 to 25. This includes noting that cycle 21 drafted the initial markdown review, cycles 22-23 involved an approval query and waiting, cycle 24 received lead approval with instructions to flag risks, and cycle 25 is ready to finalize and publish the review. Also include remaining goals (finalize and publish review), notes about approval and risks, and update the progress counter (e.g., “Step 6 of 7”). This correction ensures the scratch_pad accurately reflects all recent progress per the operating principles before moving forward.
