The scratch_pad is missing updates for cycles 21-25. Under the operating principles, what should you do immediately to rectify this before proceeding?
Expected output
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.
Model output
Reasoning: First, review the mandatory scratch_pad protocol in the operating principles. We see that each cycle should have a brief summary including the current step, goals, notes, and progress. Cycles 21–25 are missing, so we must fill them in immediately before continuing. The approach: retrieve relevant data for those cycles from memory (e.g., draft_review_351 for cycles 21–24, plus the latest cycle work), compose concise updates for each cycle, then write them to the scratch_pad so our documentation is accurate and consistent with the established process.
Response: We must update the scratch_pad right away, retroactively documenting cycles 21–25 with all necessary details—steps taken, goals, notes, and progress. This ensures we follow the operating principles by maintaining a complete, consistent record before proceeding.
