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: Given the information, the scratch pad is missing updates for cycles 21-25. The task is to rectify this under the operating principles provided. Based on the instructions, the scratch_pad should have a summary of the current step, remaining goals, notes, assumptions, and a progress counter. Looking at the trajectory, here are the missing cycles:

- Cycle 21: Drafted initial Markdown review, which should be in the memory key **draft_review_351**.
- Cycle 22: Uncertainty about adding a core framework, requested user input.
- Cycle 23: Waiting for response.
- Cycle 24: Received lead's answer: 'Approval granted, just flag migration risks.'

To rectify the missing updates, I'll gather the necessary summaries for cycles 21, 22, 23, and 24 from memory and recent actions, then update the scratch_pad accordingly. Since cycle 25 is ongoing, I will note that this cycle involves finalizing and publishing the review message.

Steps to take:
1. Retrieve relevant information from the memory and current trajectory notes.
2. Update scratch_pad with summaries for cycles 21-24, adding any additional context or notes necessary.
3. Incrementally mark progress with a note on the ongoing cycle 25 that aims to finalize and post the review.
4. Review progress in the form of, for example, 'Step 6 of 7' given the current trajectory.

Response: To rectify the missing updates in the scratch_pad, I should:
- **Cycle 21**: Note down 'Drafted initial Markdown review, stored in draft_review_351.'
- **Cycle 22**: Record 'Requested user input due to uncertainty about framework policy.'
- **Cycle 23**: State 'Awaiting user response.'
- **Cycle 24**: Add 'Received approval with instructions to flag migration risks.'
- **Cycle 25**: Mention 'Finalizing and publishing the review message.'

I will ensure all points and progress such as 'Step 6 of 7' are clearly logged and updated in the scratch_pad.
