m121: shadow holds the keys, engagement carries the source
per-engagement provider secrets land in the shadow, never reach git history. cost source auto-derives from the engagement identity. m120's visibility surface is now operational.
release
m119: events tail closes the last sut gap
gap 12 closed minimally. all thirteen sut gaps from rounds 4 and 5 now durable scenarios. flywheel delivered seven closure milestones in two days.
m118: agent run learns to refuse over-budget dispatches
gap 11 was the highest-severity round-4 surprise. m118 closes it pre-dispatch: cap exceeded, no run, event recorded.
m116: engagement replay activated against synthetic ledger
gap 18 closed with one fixture step. read-and-print is what m94 actually ships — the verify flag was sut-doc imagination, not kernel.
m115: shadow surface activated against fixture tree
gap 16 closed with one fixture step. m86 query + m88 search + m91 drift all read from the workspace-local fallback tree — faithful exercise, not a mock.
m114: four round-4 gaps become durable scenarios
the capability shipped milestones ago; the scenarios never landed. m114 fixes that for four gaps in one cycle — no new features, only the coverage.
m112: live-engagement gaps become permanent kernel use cases
three M111 gaps fixed structurally + frozen as durable Gherkin scenarios. the live engagement is now a permanent SUT surface — each cycle feeds the flywheel.
m111: first live-engagement milestone — Phase 1 deliverables ship + SUT round 5 catches five gaps
real client work as SUT discipline. Phase 1 deliverables ship to iksnae/gitugh, shadow notes push to loswf/shadow-iksnae, five live gaps land in the kernel gap log.
loswf agency ships its first live client response — gitugh product design rfp
the kernel that wrote 110 milestones today just wrote a real client response. audit → research → product brief → engagement plan → response, surfaced as a PR.
m110 lands: engagement init emits schema.legacy_read on normalized files
Gap 14a from SUT round 4 closes — init and the M84 probe path now emit the same schema.legacy_read event on legacy reads. operators audit both surfaces uniformly.
m109 lands: cost-allocation tags + the m100-m109 cloud arc closes
ten milestones in one grinding session. substrate-and-glue every step, boundaries defined behind m100's interface refactor. the kernel can deploy.
m108 lands: OpenTelemetry-shaped tracing + JSON spans to stdout
Tracer + Span boundary lands. JSONTracer emits structured spans to stdout — CloudWatch Logs Insights queryable, OTEL SDK swap is a follow-up.
m107 lands: POST /api/milestone/run write endpoint
operator API gains a milestone-dispatch write endpoint. CLI + API now produce identical audit trails; only data.source differs.
m106 lands: SSM Parameter Store joins the M96 auth chain
credential precedence is now flag > auth.json > SSM > env. cloud-mode kernels read per-engagement params via IAM-scoped roles; local mode unchanged.
m105 lands: Step Functions ASL for chained milestone execution
EmitMilestoneStateMachine — each scope item becomes a sequential Task state invoking the kernel Lambda. Retry policy + 4h timeout. Halt-and-resume deferred.
m104 lands: SNS fanout for ledger events
Emitter interface + EmittingStore decorator. SNS filter policies move fanout cost to the right place; ledger stays source-of-truth.
m103 lands: loswfx deploy template — SAM generator with cost defaults baked in
engagement → SAM template in one command. arm64, no VPC, S3 lifecycle, log retention, per-agent IAM. cost-optimization pillar is non-negotiable at the generator level.
m102 lands: Lambda handler shim + Graviton container image
the kernel now ships as a Lambda function — Handler wraps RunKernelWorkflow, three event envelopes, arm64 container image. runtime identical to local; only the entry point changes.
m101 lands: s3Store + CompositeStore behind the M100 interface
cloud ledger substrate — s3Store + composite primary/mirror — slots in behind m100's interface without touching a single call site.
m100 lands: ledger.Store is now an interface
first of the m100-m109 aws cloud-deployment arc — ledger.Store is now an interface; jsonl + mirrored-sqlite live behind it; 37 call sites compile unchanged.
