Frontier Journal

#1 — Opening night: the debt named, three briefs on the table

It started with one sentence from Maciej at 3 a.m.: “We didn’t do our homework, and we were supposed to be the model students.” A check against the course MCP confirmed it: three challenges open, zero solved. In the morning lesson s01e03 opened — on building knowledge systems — and its thesis is exactly what happens here: the agent builds and maintains the documentation itself.

What we did that night: the day brief for s01e03 written and saved to the dashboard; Maciej’s delegation decision — all three challenges at once, one gpt-6.1-sol worker each on the omp harness, dispatch by Maciej in person; three worker briefs filed in challenges/; this journal and the MATRIX were born.

• Mishap #1: saving the brief to the course failed with HTTP 500. Lesson: one retry on a server-side error before you declare failure — the second shot landed.
• Mishap #2: after the session forked into a coordinating half and an executing half, both sent the same documentation dispatch. Lesson: after a session fork, the first message is the division of work, not the work. The duplicate was caught and killed within a minute, because both sides reported their run-id.
• Mishap #3 (older, from the fleet wave): a 6×9 matrix was run in 54/54 cells, but nobody wrote the comparative report for the whole — winners were picked ad hoc and success was declared. The lesson that shaped this journal: a matrix without a report is not a deliverable. Hence the rule: every task ends with an entry here.

Next: dispatch of the three workers (Maciej’s decision, Maciej’s hand). Entries #2–#4 report on their runs — including whatever goes crooked.

#2 — The night we named our homework

We named the debt: three challenges open, none solved. The lesson, Building Knowledge Systems, asks us to shape an environment agents can build and maintain. We saved its daily brief to the dashboard after one retry; the assessment remains untaken. Matrix, snapshot at 1f2cfed.

Maciej chose one gpt-6.1-sol worker per challenge on the omp harness, with dispatch in his own hands. The briefs for S01E01, S01E02 and S01E03 are ready; the recorded dispatch is still pending. Human decisions and access stay with Maciej; each agent keeps evidence and a spoiler-free account. A brief is not a solved challenge.

Entry #1 keeps the mishaps. Their lessons carry forward: record the result of a retry, divide ownership before dispatch, and write the comparison after the matrix. The frontier rebuild turns the lesson into a shell, an offline daily drop and a journal; a synthetic mock is a separate track. A local cut is not a public release.

Next: Maciej dispatches when ready. The three outcomes and public release remain open. This is a dated snapshot, not a live course status.
