ADR-003 — Loop Cadence Ramp Policy
Status
Accepted
Context
Self-improvement loops need fast feedback while mechanics are unproven, but hourly fleet-wide execution creates task noise and operator fatigue. A explicit ramp policy is required before activity-core definitions are enabled.
Decision
All first-order loops (LOOP-WP-0001–0003) follow a three-phase cadence ramp governed by the second-order loop (LOOP-WP-0004):
| Phase | Cron | Entry | Exit (promote) |
|---|---|---|---|
| bootstrap | hourly | loop workplan active |
3 consecutive successful E2E cycles; manual_rescues == 0 |
| stabilize | daily | bootstrap exit + regulator approval | 14 daily cycles; false_positive_rate < 0.2 |
| operate | weekly | stabilize exit + regulator approval | — (demote on sustained noise) |
Demotion triggers (any one)
false_positive_rate > 0.4over 3 cyclesmanual_rescues >= 2in 24 hours- Operator override (documented in state-hub decision)
Authority
- Promotions: LOOP-WP-0004 regulator session recommends; human commits
cadence.yml - Demotions: regulator may create urgent task; human commits within 24h
- No autonomous cron changes without a committed

Bootstrap batching (LOOP-WP-0003)
Hourly registry hygiene uses round-robin (3 repos/hour), not full-fleet scan.
Consequences
- activity-core definitions ship with
enabled: falseuntil bootstrap smoke passes - Initial hourly crons are time-boxed; regulator must schedule first promotion review
- Supplier ADR-005 weekly defaults are overridden by engagement
