The v3 roster reflow exists as a design and as a set of forward commitments in main. The roster change itself was never written. Nothing is lost, and nothing is stranded on any host, but the repo currently carries three artifacts that describe a roster it does not have.

What is actually in the tree

main is at de934cc and ships nine seats: ai, creator, design, director, engineer, exec, gamedev, ops, qa. There is no platform, eval, sysadmin, frontend, devrel, or tpm anywhere.

Verified across five modalities, all negative:

all 71 remote-tracking refs and all 70 server-side branches by ls-remote
git log --all --reflog -S"role-tpm", plus stashes, worktrees, and dangling objects
the full projects tree on the MacBook, including .Trash and every *.kdl
kai-tower-3026 native Windows as firem: canonical checkout clean at de934cc, no role-* reflow directory under C:\Users\firem at depth 10, and none of the three native shadows holds an agent-compose checkout
the tower's session transcripts

The only occurrence of those six slugs on any machine is inside evaluations/reflow-v3/boundaries.yaml.

What happened

One session on 2026-08-20, running 08:57Z to 16:02Z in a native shadow on kai-tower-3026, produced the design and published it as an artifact. It made five file writes total. Three of them landed in this repo:

internal/person/metadata.go and internal/person/scoped_boundary_test.go at 12:57Z, which became c9046c5
evaluations/reflow-v3/boundaries.yaml at 13:01Z, which became de934cc

The other two were the design pages themselves. No roster file was ever written, and the session's own closing summary is accurate: everything it produced was pushed, nothing was left local. de934cc says so directly in its message, under "Depends on the reflow": "Six of the seven roles do not exist yet. Only gamedev is live."

So this is a gap in the plan, not a lost commit. The machinery for the reflow landed and the reflow did not.

What already assumes the reflow

Three things in main are written against seven seats that do not exist:

evaluations/reflow-v3/boundaries.yaml declares 24 boundary pairs deriving 48 cases across the seven, of which 8 pairs are scoped. Six of those seven roles cannot be graded.
#316 preserves nine personality bodies described as "retired by the seven-seat reflow". They are not retired. All nine are still bound to live roles, and the loader hard-fails on an unused trait, so nothing can be deleted until the seats move.
c9046c5 added the scoped-boundary axis, a third ## If you hold this boundary within a scope section, and a validator requiring that section wherever a role scopes a boundary. No shipped role declares boundary-scoped, so the axis has zero live instances.

The design of record

The full v3 design, more complete than #316: https://claude.ai/code/artifact/e90c842a-7833-45de-8565-c6cf09c700d5

Nine seats to seven, every slug renamed, melds from three traits to two as one signature plus one bond, and a 19-trait vocabulary down to 10. The merge map:

engineer becomes platform, ai becomes eval, ops becomes sysadmin, design becomes frontend, creator becomes devrel, gamedev unchanged
director and exec merge into tpm, on the finding that they split on seniority rather than practice
qa is cut, its done-condition function folding into eval and its code review into tpm as a gate decision
boundaries rename to build-foundational-software, modify-live-backend, suggest-external-comms, and seek-external-validation
bonds are grounded across platform, sysadmin, and eval, imaginative across frontend and gamedev, and outward across tpm and devrel

#316 carries the ten retired trait bodies verbatim and stays closed as the preservation record.

Suggested order

Implement the roster: the seven role.kdl and SKILL.md sets, the four renamed boundaries with their scoped sections, and the ten surviving traits.
Delete the nine retired traits, which only becomes possible once step 1 removes their last binding.
Teach evalkit/matrix.py the scoped axis. boundary_slots reads only roles[role].boundaries plus the owner, and _boundary_descriptor branches on owner-or-defer with no third case, so Go exports scoped_boundaries in person.json and Python ignores it. The 8 scoped pairs in reflow-v3 would derive as nothing.
Grade reflow-v3/boundaries.yaml, which is ready and waiting.

Step 3 is independent and can land first. It costs nothing today and silently drops pairs the moment a scoped seat exists, which is precisely the case reflow-v3 says a binary boundary model cannot see.

For reference, the current nine-seat roster derives 96 cases: 42 boundary, 27 role-fit, 27 personality.

Design preserved at #316. Machinery landed in c9046c5, f4bfa36, 9087fe5, and 94b729d.

Correction to the issue body

I recovered the session transcript and read the conversation, not just the tool calls. The reflow was not an oversight, and the issue body frames it slightly wrong.

The session's closing handoff names it explicitly:

Not done, deliberately: the roster reflow itself. Seven charters, nine personality deletions, four boundary rewrites, and the two provider files are a large enough body of writing that landing it unreviewed while you sleep felt like the wrong call, and the eval board is authored ahead of it anyway.

Kai had said "no I don't need to review, just land it." The agent declined that specific piece, landed the additive machinery plus the forward-declared board, and disclosed the decision. It also pre-sequenced the split, which is why the axis is a minor bump and the roster is a major:

the engine change is additive, so boundary-scoped can land as a minor bump on its own, with nobody declaring it yet. Then the roster reflow is the major. That keeps the schema work reviewable separately from seven charters and nine deletions.

So this issue is the resumption of an announced stop, not the repair of a dropped thread. Everything else in the body stands.

The spec, verbatim

The bond structure and the boundary allocation are Kai's, authored directly. Preserved here because the artifact renders the conclusion and not the source.

tpm:      (unique: decisive)    + outward
devrel:   (unique: warm)        + outward
platform: (unique: tenacious)   + grounded
sysadmin: (unique: protective)  + grounded
eval:     (unique: empirical)   + grounded
frontend: (unique: playful)     + imaginative
gamedev:  (unique: immersed)    + imaginative

grounded:    platform, sysadmin, eval
imaginative: frontend, gamedev
outward:     devrel, tpm

platform owns `build-foundational-software`
  scoped:  sysadmin, eval
  defers:  frontend, gamedev, tpm, devrel

sysadmin owns `modify-live-backend`
  scoped:  platform, gamedev
  defers:  devrel, eval, frontend, tpm

devrel owns `suggest-external-comms`
  scoped:  frontend, gamedev
  defers:  platform, sysadmin, eval, tpm

tpm owns `seek-external-validation`
  scoped:  devrel, platform
  defers:  frontend, sysadmin, gamedev, eval

The scoped axis exists because Kai wrote "timeboxed / scoped" in that spec. It was read as a bounded grant rather than an absence, and that reading became c9046c5.

The measurement record

None of this is in the artifact, and it is expensive to re-derive.

Meaning drives the allocation, not color. 255,296 of 284,896 charter-respecting allocations clear the floor, about 90%. The palette was treated as binding for several rounds before this measurement inverted it.
Two-trait melds have the highest ceiling, against the intuition that averaging two colors would crowd them:
- 2 traits x 7 roles, best 0.1790, 88% of random allocations legible
- 3 traits x 7 roles, best 0.1719, 96% legible
- 3 traits x 9 roles, today, best 0.1444, 94% legible
One pairing keeps failing. curious + meticulous on platform averages to #c7827e and collides with editorial + warm on devrel at #de9c81. That single collision sank two separate meaning-first attempts.
The progression: best agent-proposed allocation 0.1283, best fill of Kai's bond structure 0.1468, final spec 0.1590. The bond structure beat every allocation search because 1/shared² weights a signature trait at 1.0 and a two-seat bond at 0.25, so the signature drives the color four to one and the bond only tints it.
ops is fragile in the palette. Cutting qa immediately pushed it out of band: #178fa5 at OKLab lightness 0.60 against the band [0.60, 0.80]. That was the third time ops fell out when the roster changed, because protective plus grounded plus reflective are all mid-dark and its centroid sits on the floor. Under the reflow sysadmin takes protective + grounded and lands at #009895, so the fix is incidental, but the fragility is worth knowing.
The three-trait budget is what forced two. Seven roles at three traits is 21 slots against 19 traits that each need at least one use or the loader hard-fails, leaving two spare. Six of seven currently-repeating traits would drop to singletons, and melds would be chosen to fill quota rather than for character.

Why qa was cut

The most contentious call, and the reasoning exists only in the conversation. Three defences were raised for keeping it and all three were rejected:

independence - the auditor's pitch, a qualification made of absence
test engineering - contradicts build-software, whose owner scope already claims behavior tests
owning the done-condition - a real function, but its nearest neighbour is eval rather than a seat of its own, since both define correctness before execution and differ only in subject

Code review moves to tpm, where gate decisions belong.

Provenance

Session transcript recovered from kai-tower-3026, native Windows, wv54 shadow. 2026-08-20, 08:57Z to 16:02Z, 137 conversational turns. Copies held locally on the MacBook.

Additional recovery inventory

Second-pass recovery check from a separate Codex seat, on 2026-08-20, using the native Windows layer as firem@kai-tower-3026.

AOS shadow path derivation

Read locally from agentic-os before probing the tower:

aos-cli/temp_namespace.go builds the temp namespace as os.TempDir()/aos.
ensureAOSTempAlias() links /tmp/aos to that per-user temp root when possible.
native_shadow.go defaults SessionsRoot to ensureAOSTempAlias()/native unless AOS_NATIVE_SESSIONS_DIR is set.
native_shadow.go defaults StateRoot to os.UserCacheDir()/agentic-os/native-shadow unless AOS_NATIVE_STATE_DIR is set.
Each session root is <SessionsRoot>/<id>, with <id>/projects and, for assigned-role launches, <id>/home.

On the tower native shell:

TEMP=C:\Users\firem\AppData\Local\Temp
LOCALAPPDATA=C:\Users\firem\AppData\Local
AOS_NATIVE_STATE_DIR=
AOS_NATIVE_SESSIONS_DIR=
PROJECTS_ROOT=

So the physical session root is:

C:\Users\firem\AppData\Local\Temp\aos\native

and the readable alias is:

\tmp\aos\native

C:\tmp\aos is a symlink to C:\Users\firem\AppData\Local\Temp\aos, which explains why the AOS leases record \tmp\aos\native\... while directory enumeration shows %TEMP%\aos\native\....

Observed native sessions

Three session directories existed:

C:\Users\firem\AppData\Local\Temp\aos\native\wv54
C:\Users\firem\AppData\Local\Temp\aos\native\xk77
C:\Users\firem\AppData\Local\Temp\aos\native\dx77

Lease files existed under:

C:\Users\firem\AppData\Local\agentic-os\native-shadow\leases

Lease summary:

wv54 - harness=claude, original_cwd=C:\Users\firem\projects, session root \tmp\aos\native\wv54, no dead_since. This is the relevant recovered Claude session.
xk77 - harness=claude, original_cwd=C:\Users\firem\projects, session root \tmp\aos\native\xk77, no dead_since.
dx77 - harness=claude, original_cwd=C:\Users\firem\projects, physical session root C:\Users\firem\AppData\Local\Temp\aos\native\dx77, dead_since=2026-08-20T08:56:42.957994Z.

Relevant recovered artifacts

The relevant Claude transcript is still present on the tower:

C:\Users\firem\.claude\projects\C--Users-firem-AppData-Local-Temp-aos-native-wv54-projects\b2c86e76-a08f-47c6-9be8-042ca2c2fcbc.jsonl

Observed size and timestamp:

Length: 3585923
LastWriteTime: 2026-08-20 09:02:47 local

The staged shadow home also still has Claude file-history snapshots:

Shadow worktree inventory

wv54 has home and projects. Its project worktrees were clean when checked:

coilyco-bridge/agentic-os-hardware  aos/claude/wv54...origin/main [behind 1]  dirty=0
coilyco-bridge/agentic-os-kai       aos/claude/wv54...origin/main             dirty=0
coilyco-bridge/agentic-os-xxx       aos/claude/wv54...origin/main [behind 1]  dirty=0
coilyco-bridge/deploy               aos/claude/wv54...origin/main [behind 1]  dirty=0
coilyco-flight-deck/agentic-os      aos/claude/wv54...origin/main             dirty=0
coilysiren/coilysiren               aos/claude/wv54...origin/main [behind 1]  dirty=0

One wv54 infrastructure worktree could not run git status because its .git file points to a missing canonical worktree gitdir:

C:\Users\firem\AppData\Local\Temp\aos\native\wv54\projects\coilyco-flight-deck\infrastructure\.git
gitdir: ../../../../../../../../../projects/coilyco-flight-deck/infrastructure/.git/worktrees/infrastructure1

The referenced gitdir does not exist. No recent non-Git files were observed under that wv54 infrastructure directory.

xk77 also had clean project worktrees. It additionally had a wt directory, but no dirty Git worktree output was found under the AOS session tree.

agent-compose-specific finding

There is no agent-compose checkout inside any AOS native shadow session. The only directory named agent-compose under the shadow roots is the Ansible role inside the infrastructure repository:

C:\Users\firem\AppData\Local\Temp\aos\native\xk77\projects\coilyco-flight-deck\infrastructure\ansible\roles\agent-compose

So the agent-compose edits from the relevant Claude session were made in the canonical native Windows checkout, not in the AOS session worktree set.

Canonical checkout state when checked:

C:\Users\firem\projects\coilyco-flight-deck\agent-compose
## main...origin/main
de934cc (HEAD -> main, origin/main, origin/HEAD) feat(evaluations): declare the seven-seat boundary board
c9046c5 (tag: v2.38.0) feat(person): let a role hold a boundary within a scope
f4bfa36 (tag: v2.37.0) feat(person): add the build-software boundary and seal exec against live mutation

No staged, unstaged, or untracked files were reported in that checkout.

Dangling objects checked

The canonical agent-compose object database has unreachable stash-style objects from earlier feat/gamedev-role work:

764527b WIP on feat/gamedev-role
c3084b3 index on feat/gamedev-role
026057a WIP on feat/gamedev-role
83e0a2d index on feat/gamedev-role
e5bbb10 untracked files on feat/gamedev-role

Inspection showed these are not the missing seven-seat roster. Their content matches already-landed 9087fe5 gamedev/immersed additions plus related docs/palette changes.

Current conclusion

The session history and file-history artifacts were recovered and are still present on the tower. The agent-compose work that session actually wrote is present on main as c9046c5 and de934cc. I did not find missing dirty agent-compose work in any AOS shadow, and I did not mutate tower filesystem or Git state during this recovery pass.

## Additional recovery inventory Second-pass recovery check from a separate Codex seat, on 2026-08-20, using the native Windows layer as `firem@kai-tower-3026`. ### AOS shadow path derivation Read locally from `agentic-os` before probing the tower: * `aos-cli/temp_namespace.go` builds the temp namespace as `os.TempDir()/aos`. * `ensureAOSTempAlias()` links `/tmp/aos` to that per-user temp root when possible. * `native_shadow.go` defaults `SessionsRoot` to `ensureAOSTempAlias()/native` unless `AOS_NATIVE_SESSIONS_DIR` is set. * `native_shadow.go` defaults `StateRoot` to `os.UserCacheDir()/agentic-os/native-shadow` unless `AOS_NATIVE_STATE_DIR` is set. * Each session root is `<SessionsRoot>/<id>`, with `<id>/projects` and, for assigned-role launches, `<id>/home`. On the tower native shell: ```text TEMP=C:\Users\firem\AppData\Local\Temp LOCALAPPDATA=C:\Users\firem\AppData\Local AOS_NATIVE_STATE_DIR= AOS_NATIVE_SESSIONS_DIR= PROJECTS_ROOT= ``` So the physical session root is: ```text C:\Users\firem\AppData\Local\Temp\aos\native ``` and the readable alias is: ```text \tmp\aos\native ``` `C:\tmp\aos` is a symlink to `C:\Users\firem\AppData\Local\Temp\aos`, which explains why the AOS leases record `\tmp\aos\native\...` while directory enumeration shows `%TEMP%\aos\native\...`. ### Observed native sessions Three session directories existed: ```text C:\Users\firem\AppData\Local\Temp\aos\native\wv54 C:\Users\firem\AppData\Local\Temp\aos\native\xk77 C:\Users\firem\AppData\Local\Temp\aos\native\dx77 ``` Lease files existed under: ```text C:\Users\firem\AppData\Local\agentic-os\native-shadow\leases ``` Lease summary: * `wv54` - `harness=claude`, `original_cwd=C:\Users\firem\projects`, session root `\tmp\aos\native\wv54`, no `dead_since`. This is the relevant recovered Claude session. * `xk77` - `harness=claude`, `original_cwd=C:\Users\firem\projects`, session root `\tmp\aos\native\xk77`, no `dead_since`. * `dx77` - `harness=claude`, `original_cwd=C:\Users\firem\projects`, physical session root `C:\Users\firem\AppData\Local\Temp\aos\native\dx77`, `dead_since=2026-08-20T08:56:42.957994Z`. ### Relevant recovered artifacts The relevant Claude transcript is still present on the tower: ```text C:\Users\firem\.claude\projects\C--Users-firem-AppData-Local-Temp-aos-native-wv54-projects\b2c86e76-a08f-47c6-9be8-042ca2c2fcbc.jsonl ``` Observed size and timestamp: ```text Length: 3585923 LastWriteTime: 2026-08-20 09:02:47 local ``` The staged shadow home also still has Claude file-history snapshots: ```text C:\Users\firem\AppData\Local\Temp\aos\native\wv54\home\.claude\file-history\b2c86e76-a08f-47c6-9be8-042ca2c2fcbc\ ``` Files observed there: ```text 2676ee2fa1a4c26f@v2 33119 bytes 2026-08-20 03:52:41 6915926028064a98@v1 14670 bytes 2026-08-20 02:01:57 6915926028064a98@v2 14894 bytes 2026-08-20 06:03:38 c910296c78d7d7a2@v2 27728 bytes 2026-08-20 05:19:58 c910296c78d7d7a2@v3 31070 bytes 2026-08-20 05:46:07 c910296c78d7d7a2@v4 32465 bytes 2026-08-20 05:50:55 dce91e7d14346db1@v2 3507 bytes 2026-08-20 06:03:38 e7779e391b5cefdf@v2 12107 bytes 2026-08-20 06:03:38 ``` ### Shadow worktree inventory `wv54` has `home` and `projects`. Its project worktrees were clean when checked: ```text coilyco-bridge/agentic-os-hardware aos/claude/wv54...origin/main [behind 1] dirty=0 coilyco-bridge/agentic-os-kai aos/claude/wv54...origin/main dirty=0 coilyco-bridge/agentic-os-xxx aos/claude/wv54...origin/main [behind 1] dirty=0 coilyco-bridge/deploy aos/claude/wv54...origin/main [behind 1] dirty=0 coilyco-flight-deck/agentic-os aos/claude/wv54...origin/main dirty=0 coilysiren/coilysiren aos/claude/wv54...origin/main [behind 1] dirty=0 ``` One `wv54` `infrastructure` worktree could not run `git status` because its `.git` file points to a missing canonical worktree gitdir: ```text C:\Users\firem\AppData\Local\Temp\aos\native\wv54\projects\coilyco-flight-deck\infrastructure\.git gitdir: ../../../../../../../../../projects/coilyco-flight-deck/infrastructure/.git/worktrees/infrastructure1 ``` The referenced gitdir does not exist. No recent non-Git files were observed under that `wv54` infrastructure directory. `xk77` also had clean project worktrees. It additionally had a `wt` directory, but no dirty Git worktree output was found under the AOS session tree. ### agent-compose-specific finding There is no `agent-compose` checkout inside any AOS native shadow session. The only directory named `agent-compose` under the shadow roots is the Ansible role inside the `infrastructure` repository: ```text C:\Users\firem\AppData\Local\Temp\aos\native\xk77\projects\coilyco-flight-deck\infrastructure\ansible\roles\agent-compose ``` So the `agent-compose` edits from the relevant Claude session were made in the canonical native Windows checkout, not in the AOS session worktree set. Canonical checkout state when checked: ```text C:\Users\firem\projects\coilyco-flight-deck\agent-compose ## main...origin/main de934cc (HEAD -> main, origin/main, origin/HEAD) feat(evaluations): declare the seven-seat boundary board c9046c5 (tag: v2.38.0) feat(person): let a role hold a boundary within a scope f4bfa36 (tag: v2.37.0) feat(person): add the build-software boundary and seal exec against live mutation ``` No staged, unstaged, or untracked files were reported in that checkout. ### Dangling objects checked The canonical `agent-compose` object database has unreachable stash-style objects from earlier `feat/gamedev-role` work: ```text 764527b WIP on feat/gamedev-role c3084b3 index on feat/gamedev-role 026057a WIP on feat/gamedev-role 83e0a2d index on feat/gamedev-role e5bbb10 untracked files on feat/gamedev-role ``` Inspection showed these are not the missing seven-seat roster. Their content matches already-landed `9087fe5` gamedev/immersed additions plus related docs/palette changes. ### Current conclusion The session history and file-history artifacts were recovered and are still present on the tower. The `agent-compose` work that session actually wrote is present on `main` as `c9046c5` and `de934cc`. I did not find missing dirty `agent-compose` work in any AOS shadow, and I did not mutate tower filesystem or Git state during this recovery pass.
