All 7 gap-fill methods (G1-G7) confirmed cross-host compatible via the
executor abstraction. Resolved two caveats: G3 visual evaluator (Codex
confirmed multimodal), G7 unifies on --max-turns (drop codex-only
token_budget as primary). G1 standardizes on exec/headless one-shot
per task to avoid nesting limits.

Spawn granularity in AEP is the story (one worker per story per round);
deliberately not subdividing into per-task fresh contexts. G1 moved to a
"Rejected" record with rationale; scorecard, gap buckets, priority, and
compatibility tables updated. Gaps now G2-G7 (6 methods).

Post-deploy staging/prod validation with host-aware method selection:
Claude Code auto-detects agent-browser; Codex uses native in-app
browser+computer-use (desktop) or Playwright scripts (headless codex-exec,
since computer-use is desktop-only). URL resolution = config first,
CI fallback. Integration: upgrade Phase 6 + new post-deploy step.
Issues auto-create stories via reflect classifier (links G6).

…ood, telemetry reflect, self-feeding watch, visual eval, full-auto switch

Implements the retained loop-engineering gaps (G2–G7) plus the A1 full-auto
master switch, all defaulting to human-in-the-loop (opt-in only).

- G2 recovery ladder: gen-eval/references/recovery-ladder.md; build Phase 5 and
  autopilot tick ④ climb same-fix → re-ground → fresh native-bg-subagent →
  decompose before the eval_not_converging human gate.
- G4 host-aware dogfood + post-merge guard: executor/references/dogfood-validation.md
  (dogfood_method()/target_url(), Claude=agent-browser, Codex=native/Playwright),
  autopilot/references/post-merge-guard.md + tick Step ③.5; build Phase 6 host-aware;
  on-issue → reflect story; hard regression → conservative auto_revert (default off).
- G5 telemetry reflect: reflect/references/telemetry-ingestion.md; reflect Step 1
  auto-ingestion + Step 2.75 quantitative outcome auto-eval; tick layer-completion.
- G6 self-feeding discovery: new /aep-watch skill (registered in marketplace.json).
- G3 visual evaluator: Visual Design dimension in gen-eval scoring + evaluator contract.
- G7 loop hygiene: unified --max-turns budget; cap = possibly-unsolvable.
- A1 full_auto master switch (default false) gates strategic pauses; config keys
  added to product-context schema (all 3 templates). Quick-reference updated.

- B1: author telemetry-ingestion.md in canonical _shared/references/ (was created
  in a build-generated dir and wiped by build-skills.sh); rebuild materializes it
  into reflect/ + watch/ — G5 + watch ingestion now resolve.
- S1: add guard_state entry to autopilot state-schema (post-merge-guard idempotency).
- S3: register post_merge_regression in the escalation type enum.
- S2: document recovery_rung in eval-protocol status.json fields.
- S4: schema health_signals example ci → ci_status (matches the guard's key).
- S5: skill count 16 → 17 in README + orientation; add /aep-watch to orientation table.
- N1: brief Codex dogfood recipe pointer in codex-native.md.
- oxfmt markdown reformatting.

…coverage guard)

Closes the v2 telemetry gap: consumers shipped without a way to decide/wire sources.

- Coverage rule + coverage_check() helper in telemetry-ingestion.md (canonical
  _shared/references): a source is needed iff a quantitative success_metric or
  health_signal requires it.
- /aep-map gains a Telemetry Binding step (the decision owner): bind each needed
  signal to a detected/declared source via metric_map; flag the unmeasurable.
- /aep-scaffold audit detects the observability stack (Sentry/Datadog/PostHog/
  OTel/health endpoint) → candidate telemetry_sources.
- /aep-watch (Step 0 precondition), /aep-reflect Step 2.75, and post-merge guard
  run coverage_check() and BLOCK the auto path when the map binding is incomplete
  ("run /aep-map observability step") — never silently no-op.
- schema documents telemetry_sources[].metric_map + the coverage rule.

Folded into the unreleased v2.0.0 (PR #11). oxfmt + build-skills in sync.
