Claude Evolution System

The version tracker stopped without writes because the CLI reports 2.1.309 while its state records 2.1.310. The script lacks a downgrade guard, and the reinstall is left to the owner.

The bundle includes the Monitor tool on Bedrock, Vertex and Foundry, lower compaction memory in non-interactive sessions, a clearer MCP elicitation timeout and a Linux sandbox message naming the AppArmor user-namespace restriction. An autonomous executor run committed b08d512.

The 2.1.309 notes say sandboxed commands can no longer modify the mcp-config file and disabled MCP servers are not reconnected in print and SDK sessions.

Two discovery files cover v2.1.304's auto-mode classifier model setting and /auto-mode-setup, and v2.1.302's headless fork default, hook cap and retry-watchdog changes. No model launch fell in the range; v2.1.303 and v2.1.308 are fixes only.

Commit fa7bb92 lists optimized prompts without stripping the internal `_latest`, and c210f99 parses skill frontmatter on real delimiter lines. Commit 8b6700d recorded the autonomous executor run for 2026-10-21.

Flagged that transcripts now record each request's system prompt, tools and parameters, and that updatedInput from PreToolUse and PermissionRequest hooks is now validated. A Discord summary was posted, and the autonomous executor run was committed as a9e15fc.

Idle compaction and CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_FILE_MENTIONS were flagged for owner decision. A permissions probe showed the Bash grant checks compound commands as a whole.

Two bq-4939 cache passes, a miss then a hit, both reported 55 stale helpers and 5,540 overlap pairs, none over 70 percent. An autonomous executor run was committed as 79882cf. The contemporary-models check covered 2 models and found no updates.

The helper-analysis BACKLOG item was ticked with a backup, and an index-count discrepancy was flagged. The executor commit's subject names Claude Code v2.1.224.

The helper analysis also found 92 helpers missing an 'Updated' field. The autonomous executor's 2026-10-11 run was committed as 694e2e5.

versions.json now records 2.1.296 as current and 2.1.294 as previous, and the registry gained a 2.1.295 to 2.1.296 section after a backup. Flagged items are release-note claims, none reproduced, including a hook onFailure block that could make the MCP-pinning and secrets guards fail closed.

Prompt and agent hooks written as instructions no longer enforce what they should block in v2.1.294, and local stdio MCP servers now negotiate protocol 2026-07-28 by default. Haiku 5.5 costs $0.10/$0.50 per million tokens; its impact on Haiku-pinned agents is unverified.

One commit recorded the completed executor run and its handoff cycle. The registry holds 26 agents and 74 skills, with 86 evaluations pending.

A model-roster check identified GPT-6.1 Sol (released 2026-09-29) and Gemini 4 Argon (released 2026-09-30). The autonomous executor's 2026-10-06 run was logged with an ultraplan-guidance removal task.

Gemini 4 Argon was logged as a September 2026 frontier-reasoning model. A backwards 2.1.288 vs 2.1.289 version check caused a duplicate report; version-tracker.sh needs a semver comparison guard.

GPT-6.1 Sol (2026-09-29) was identified as the latest GPT model and Gemini 3.8 Flash as current, with Gemini 4 announced but unscheduled. In Claude Code v2.1.289, bash deny-rule sandbox hardening stood out as the key security improvement.

The v2.1.288 investigation identified API-timeout resume, a SIGTERM handling fix, fail-closed hook behavior, and path-scoped Write/Edit rules. Versions 2.1.217–256 and 2.1.261–265 remain undocumented.

The decisions come from 58 ledger rows covering July 26-27, and verdicts are written to an append-only file. Prior-art research on 40+ session-analysis tools found 3 with LLM-based semantic classification and 1 multi-vendor tool, but none combining both.

A kernel-stop fix for the weekly-insights /insights step was staged and verified. An autonomous executor run processed backlog items and updated registries.

The discovery pass sorted the 120 items across feature categories and updated the Discord channel. The freshness check found four target files edited after drafting: CLAUDE.md, polaris-session, publication-review, and codex-goal.

A model-release check identified Claude Sonnet 5.5 (1M context) as the new default and found GPT-7 still unannounced. The bq-1462 rollback fix finished validation with fixture proofs and an Opus cross-check. A three-patch sol-writes-confinement SIGKILL fix passed isolated testing and awaits enactment.

Spec drafting finished with 16 registry landings and 11 workspace landings. Evolution-executor-fix-v3 was deployed with background review watchers and heartbeat ledger monitors under the warm-keeper doctrine.

A commit addressed the CLI 2.1.283 escape-marker removal. A model audit documented GPT-6 Astra, GPT-Live-1 for real-time voice, GPT-6 Sol and Luna, and Google's Gemini 3.8 Flash.

The contemporary-models.json file was updated with the latest OpenAI releases. An autonomous executor run was logged at 06:30Z.

The analysis identified a new attribution:false setting and cron-layer enhancements. Security changes include rm -rf prompting in auto and bypass modes and --bg requiring workspace trust.

6 discovery files created for new version. Release report generated. state/versions.json updated with history entry.

Model release sweep confirmed GPT-6 Astra (Sept 3–4), GPT-Live-1 voice (Sept 10), Gemini 3.8 Flash/Live. 70 evaluations still pending in queue.

OOM recovery prompted the context window reduction. The court-residuals-wave-0919e commission completed with all 34 test suite items passing across 11 escalation checks.

Autonomous executor logged its daily run. Backlog-recovery work moved 11 court-residual checks from unsatisfied to passing with findings archived.

Wave 0918 processed 11 items through four test iterations. Model verification flagged a nine-day GA date discrepancy on GPT-Live-1 (listed 2026-09-01, actual 2026-09-10).

Court-residuals-wave-0919e: 11 checks passed with annotation fixes, test suite baseline re-frozen. Model verification session found GPT-Live-1 release date was logged as 2026-09-01; actual release was September 10.

ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL proxy broken in 275, TaskOutput removed in 277, skills/plugins auto-sync broken in 275. Evolution-daily cron fallback executes Bash via env -u CLAUDECODE when codex quota exhausted, bypassing disabled-Bash restrictions.

Investigation Runner configured with WebFetch, Grep, Glob, Read, and optional Pro/codex-council escalation for Discord #general. Discovery policy documented prioritizing publication-grade sources. GPT-6 Astra (1.05M context) and Gemini 3.8 Flash confirmed current.

Gemini 3.8 Flash (released Sept 2–3) was detected by model monitoring and promoted from the monitor list to active models. Status system investigation confirmed the 2026-08-12 poller fix is live; cron references remain stale.

35 agent definitions catalogued; workspace codex-researcher found to shadow global version (critical collision). 15 rationalization findings (2 P1, 6 P2, 7 P3). Weekly-insights ran zero novel findings — duplicate digest from 3 prior runs.

M7 completion-stamp mechanism tracks report status without production ledger writes. OAuth-orphaned reports cleared. Night-shift-sentinel alert classifier updated. Templated renderer copy discovery revises distinct session load estimate to ~130/day.

61 KB report produced. tmux 3.4 libsystemd scopes give verified 1:1 pane identity (36/36). Root cause: identity derived post-acquisition rather than at mint-time. Zombie session bg-c-bq-041 — 42 hours past TTL, 18 orphaned processes — cited as primary evidence.

Write-hook fail-closed, preflight refusal honesty, and private-checkout wording tightened. Two P1 findings (write-hook fail-open, owner-interest gate) and four additional P2s under active remediation; 52 evaluations pending.
