Subject: [PATCH] Complete LOOP-WP-0005: DEC-008 weekly operate promotion
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Operator override per ADR-003 closes the stabilize observation window
early (day 2/14) and promotes all four loops to weekly Mon crons.
Activity definitions renamed coulomb-daily-* → coulomb-weekly-*;
cadence.yml, dashboard, SCOPE, and health records updated.
activity-core definition sync still required on operator side.

+# DEC-008 — Operate Phase Promotion (Operator Override)
+
+**Status:** accepted
+**Date:** 2026-06-19
+**Owner:** Bernd (Coulomb operator)
+**Workplan:** LOOP-WP-0005 T07
+
+---
+
+## Decision
+
+Promote all four Coulomb loops from **stabilize (daily)** to **operate (weekly)**,
+invoking ADR-003 **operator override** to close the observation window early
+(planned `review_at: 2026-07-02`; actual review `2026-06-19`, day 2/14).
+
+## Operator override rationale
+
+- Bootstrap sprint (LOOP-WP-0000–0004) closed with 3/3 E2E cycles on pilot roster
+- Daily definitions live since 2026-06-18; event path and R2 shell resolver proven
+- All recorded health snapshots: `manual_rescues == 0`, `false_positive_rate < 0.2`
+- `min_daily_cycles: 14` not met (2 days observed) — override to complete
+  operate-phase setup and reduce task noise per ADR-003 intent
+- Regulator recommends **promote** on available evidence; operator accepts
+
+## Per-loop promotion
+
+| Loop | From | To | Mechanism |
+|------|------|-----|-----------|
+| kaizen-improvement-stack | stabilize daily | operate weekly Mon 08–10 | metrics → coach → optimization chain |
+| quality-escalation | stabilize daily | operate weekly | event `low-success-rate-review` primary; Mon 06:00 backup sweep (disabled) |
+| registry-hygiene | stabilize daily 07:00 | operate weekly Mon 09:00 | batch 2, weekly domain rotation |
+| loop-regulator | stabilize daily 11:00 | operate weekly Mon 11:00 | collector aligns with regulator session |
+
+## New cadence (Europe/Berlin)
+
+| Definition | Cron | Enabled |
+|------------|------|---------|
+| `coulomb-weekly-metrics-optimize` | `0 8 * * 1` | yes |
+| `coulomb-weekly-coach-orientation` | `0 9 * * 1` | yes |
+| `coulomb-weekly-optimization-review` | `0 10 * * 1` | yes |
+| `coulomb-low-success-rate-review` | event | yes |
+| `coulomb-weekly-metrics-health-sweep` | `0 6 * * 1` | no (backup) |
+| `coulomb-weekly-registry-hygiene-sweep` | `0 9 * * 1` | yes |
+| `coulomb-weekly-loop-health-collector` | `0 11 * * 1` | no (executor pending) |
+
+Retired `coulomb-daily-*` ids disabled on next activity-core sync.
+
+## Evidence
+
+- `loops/*/health.jsonl` — 0 manual rescues, FPR 0.0 where measured
+- `loops/kaizen-stack/bootstrap-log.md` — 3/3 fleet E2E cycles
+- `loops/registry-hygiene/health.jsonl` — R2 sweep live (ACTIVITY-WP-0013)
+- `loops/regulator/stabilize-observation.yml` — override recorded
+- `loops/*/cadence.yml` — `operate_target` drafts applied
+
+## Deferred (not in scope)
+
+- `reuse-surface` hygiene batch promotion — still gated on 7 daily stabilize
+  cycles per `expansion-reuse-surface.yml` (separate from cadence ramp)
+- Loop health collector automation — still blocked on activity-core instruction executor
+
+## Related
+
+- ADR-003 cadence ramp policy (operator override authority)
+- LOOP-WP-0005 T07 regulator review gate
+- `loops/regulator/dashboard.md`
