Four issues filed, all four closed as fixed. Fix for the last one merged as #3701.
- A drain worker self-deadlocking at
concurrency=1, stalling any cycle phase that spawned a subagent - Owner identity fragmenting across three different holder strings
- A calibration default that silently no-op'd forecasting on every non-owner brain
- A cycle phase hardcoded to

#824 — create-a-role "gambit" mode and Speculative pipeline state.
Realtime dashboard and activity log for local LLM inference on Apple Silicon. A small TypeScript server polls MTPLX's /metrics and streams to the browser over SSE; the frontend is four plain HTML files — no client framework, no build step. Surfaces the part of speculative decoding that actually matters: tokens per verify pass, per-depth acceptance, throughput, cache health.
StructuredREMI and MuMIDI tokenizers extended to carry MIDI control-change data. The public edge of Ravel AI — an AI-first DAW that generates expressive MIDI: the dynamics, articulation, and phrasing that make a part sound played rather than entered.
Retrieval over an organizational decision log, so "can we accept NET120 terms?" gets answered from the record instead of from memory.
