-# Nightly SOTA research agent
-
-`nightly-sota-agent.yml` turns recent public research into at most one
-repository issue and, for low-risk topics, one draft offline-prototype pull
-request. It is intentionally not a general-purpose autonomous coding agent.
-
-## Enablement
-
-The committed schedule is `03:17 UTC` every day. Scheduled runs stay disabled
-until both repository settings exist:
-
-1. Actions secret `COGNITUM_NIGHTLY_API_KEY`, issued with only the Cognitum
-   `completions:mid` scope.
-2. Actions variable `RUVIEW_NIGHTLY_SOTA_ENABLED=true`.
-
-The key must not receive guidance-write, evolve, pods, brain, Flywheel-write,
-or administrative scopes. First run the workflow manually in `dry-run` mode;
-that mode only collects a bounded evidence artifact and never reads the secret
-or writes an issue. Manual `live` mode is restricted to the repository owner.
-
-The repository must also allow GitHub Actions to create pull requests. Normal
-branch protection must require at least one approving review and the
-`Verify contributor harness` status check. The publisher requires that exact
-job-name check to be bound to the GitHub Actions app,
-uses GitHub's effective-active-rules endpoint, and stops before prototype
-generation when either requirement is absent. It does not request an
-administrative token to inspect hidden ruleset bypass actors; safety does not
-depend on that metadata because the publisher has no merge or `main`-push path.
-
-## Authority split
-
-| Job | External credential | Repository authority | Result |
-|---|---|---|---|
-| `collect` | none | contents read | Normalized public Cognitum registry and recent arXiv evidence |
-| `propose` | Cognitum completions key | contents read | One schema-checked proposal |
-| `score` | none | contents read | Frozen Darwin digest, completeness score, honest-null Flywheel replay |
-| `issue` | GitHub token | issue write, PR read | One deduplicated issue |
-| `implement` | Cognitum completions key | contents read | Declarative transform and test vectors |
-| `validate` | none | contents read | Schema, template, syntax, claim, path, digest, and replay checks |
-| `publish` | GitHub token | branch/issue/draft-PR/Actions write | One draft PR and an explicit read-only harness-verifier dispatch |
-
-The Cognitum key and a write-capable GitHub token never coexist in one job.
-Model output is never executable code. Repository-owned templates emit the
-prototype module and tests, which this workflow syntax-checks but never runs.
-
-## Hard boundaries
-
-- Public HTTPS sources are fixed to the Cognitum application registry and the
-  arXiv Atom API. Redirects, oversized responses, unexpected media types, and
-  schema drift fail closed.
-- Retrieved text is `CLAIMED`, untrusted evidence. It is quoted inside a fixed
-  trusted prompt and cannot grant authority.
-- The Darwin genome is read-only. Scheduled jobs never invoke Darwin evolution.
-- Flywheel runs a separate committed honest-null canary. A valid canary stays
-  root-only, rejects its candidate, and reports zero verified improvements and
-  no promotion. It does not evaluate the nightly proposal. The workflow's
-  static authority split and artifact gates are what prevent nightly learning
-  or promotion.
-- High-risk topics stop at an issue. This includes production, security,
-  authentication, release/deployment, workflows, dependencies, firmware,
-  hardware, networking, native plugins, HomeKit pairing, and voice protocols.
-- Low-risk model output is a closed transform DSL: bounded scalar test vectors
-  and 1-8 allowlisted operations (`center`, `normalize-peak`, `absolute`,
-  `square`, `difference`, `moving-average`, or `clip`). Local trusted templates
-  emit exactly five `.md`, `.json`, and `.mjs` files below
-  `examples/research-sota/nightly/<fingerprint>/`. Existing files, symlinked
-  parents, dependencies, binaries, executable modes, and more than 400 lines
-  are rejected.
-- Publication is a draft PR. The agent cannot approve, merge, release, promote,
-  or modify the reviewed shared brain.
-
-## Deduplication and failure behavior
-
-The stable fingerprint hashes sorted evidence IDs, finding class, and subsystem.
-Issues and PRs carry an exact hidden marker. Only markers on
-`github-actions[bot]` records with the automation label are trusted for
-deduplication, so copied issue text cannot suppress future runs.
-
-A failure leaves the last completed bounded artifact for seven days. Model,
-protection-preflight, or validation failures may leave an issue without a PR;
-maintainers can inspect the run and decide whether to continue manually. The
-workflow does not retry a failed model call, force-push a branch, close an
-issue, or delete a branch.

-# ADR-284: Bounded nightly SOTA research agent
-
-| Field | Value |
-|---|---|
-| Status | Accepted - implementation gated off by default |
-| Date | 2026-07-29 |
-| Builds on | ADR-283 |
-
-## Context
-
-RuView needs a repeatable way to notice relevant state-of-the-art work and turn
-it into reviewable repository activity. A nightly model with simultaneous
-network, repository-write, policy-evolution, and execution authority would
-create an unacceptable prompt-injection and supply-chain boundary. It could
-also confuse generated confidence with scientific evidence or silently turn a
-research suggestion into production code.
-
-Cognitum exposes an OpenAI-compatible completion service and a public
-application registry. The contributor harness already commits a Darwin genome
-and a signed Flywheel replay gate. Those components can support nightly
-research without granting unattended learning promotion.
-
-## Decision
-
-Add a scheduled GitHub Actions workflow that runs daily at `03:17 UTC`, remains
-disabled until a maintainer enables a repository variable, and supports a
-manual evidence-only dry run.
-
-The live flow has seven jobs:
-
-1. Collect bounded public Cognitum-registry and recent arXiv evidence.
-2. Ask Cognitum `cognitum-mid` for one proposal that is locally validated
-   against a strict schema.
-3. Score proposal completeness using the frozen Darwin policy and verify an
-   honest-null Flywheel replay.
-4. Deduplicate or create one issue.
-5. For a locally classified low-risk proposal only, ask Cognitum for a tiny
-   declarative transform and bounded test vectors. Trusted repository templates
-   turn that data into the prototype module, tests, JSON, and README.
-6. In a job with no external secret or GitHub write token, revalidate every
-   artifact, verify the Flywheel replay, and perform static and syntax checks
-   without executing generated code.
-7. In a job with no model credential, re-hash the validated artifacts, create a
-   new branch, open one draft PR, link it to the issue, and explicitly dispatch
-   the credential-free contributor-harness verifier.
-
-The jobs exchange bounded JSON artifacts. Cognitum receipts retain the
-provider, endpoint, exact resolved tier/model, request ID, a recomputable
-routing attestation, and digest metadata. Credential-free validation rebuilds
-the deterministic request and verifies its digest. The raw-output digest is
-audit metadata only because raw model transcripts are not retained.
-
-## Security and evidence policy
-
-Retrieved titles, abstracts, descriptions, and links are untrusted `CLAIMED`
-evidence. Source hosts, paths, media types, redirects, time, byte counts,
-records, and citations are validated. The fixed trusted prompt states that
-evidence has no instruction authority. Model output is parsed as one JSON
-object and locally reconstructs risk, citations, implementation disposition,
-and fingerprint.
-
-Risk classification is deliberately conservative. Security, authentication,
-cryptography, workflow, dependency, release, deployment, production, firmware,
-hardware, network-server, native/Wasmtime plugin, HomeKit pairing, STT/TTS, and
-satellite-voice proposals are issue-only.
-
-Autonomous implementation is restricted to new files beneath a fingerprinted
-`examples/research-sota/nightly/` directory. The model cannot supply paths or
-source text. It selects only a schema-bounded scalar transform and matching
-test vectors; repository-owned templates deterministically emit exactly five
-files. It cannot edit existing files or add dependencies. File count, size,
-line count, paths, symlink ancestry, numeric bounds, operation schema,
-secret-shaped values, canonical template digests, and accuracy claims are
-checked. Emitted source receives syntax checking, but is not executed.
-
-The deterministic score is named `PROPOSAL_COMPLETENESS`. It is explicitly not
-a novelty, scientific-quality, safety, or performance score.
-
-## Darwin and Flywheel boundary
-
-Nightly automation reads the committed Darwin genome as frozen prompt policy.
-It never calls Darwin evolution or any Cognitum evolve, pod, guidance-mutation,
-brain-write, or promotion endpoint.
-
-Flywheel evaluates the unchanged policy with the repository's honest-null
-fixture. The signed replay must verify, report zero verified improvements, and
-report no promotion. This canary proves only that the committed Flywheel gate
-stayed root-only, rejected its candidate, and did not promote under the frozen
-fixture. It does not evaluate the proposal. The no-learning/no-promotion
-boundary for the nightly run comes from the workflow's static authority split,
-closed commands, and artifact validation.
-
-## Credentials and publication
-
-Scheduled enablement requires:
-
-- repository secret `COGNITUM_NIGHTLY_API_KEY`, limited to
-  `completions:mid`; and
-- repository variable `RUVIEW_NIGHTLY_SOTA_ENABLED=true`.
-
-Model jobs receive no write-capable GitHub token. GitHub mutation jobs receive
-no model key. Validation receives neither. The publish job has the additional
-`actions:write` permission solely to dispatch the read-only
-`ruview-harness-flywheel.yml` verifier with Darwin disabled, because a PR
-created by the workflow token may not trigger ordinary pull-request workflows.
-
-The agent creates draft PRs only. It cannot approve, merge, release, promote a
-Darwin candidate, or update canonical shared-brain records. Before any branch
-write, it re-fetches the issue and repository rules. Publication requires the
-issue to remain open, bot-authored, correctly labelled, and fingerprint-bound;
-`main` must require at least one approving review and the
-`Verify contributor harness` job-name check. The publisher requires that exact
-check name and GitHub Actions integration ID from GitHub's
-effective-active-rules endpoint. GitHub hides
-ruleset bypass actors from read-only tokens, so the workflow is not given an
-administrative token to inspect them. Its safety does not depend on that
-metadata: the publisher can create only a non-default branch and draft PR and
-contains no merge, approval, or `main`-push path. Branch protection and
-maintainer review remain the authority boundary.
-
-## Consequences
-
-RuView gains a low-volume research flywheel with durable evidence, stable
-deduplication, and inspectable failure artifacts. A compromised paper,
-registry record, or model can at worst propose bounded new example files that
-still require static gates and human review.
-
-The tradeoff is intentionally limited autonomy: production ideas become issues,
-generated prototypes are not executed, and a missing credential, service
-outage, schema drift, or validation ambiguity stops the run rather than
-guessing. Maintainers must explicitly enable the schedule and permit Actions to
-create pull requests.
