DEC-004 — Supplier Playbook Delivery Priority

Status: accepted Date: 2026-06-18 Owner: Bernd Blocks: KAIZEN-WP-0008 sequencing


Question

What should kaizen-agentic (supplier) prioritize before vs after first hourly loop smoke test?

Context

KAIZEN-WP-0008 bundles supplier obligations: customer-repo template, event emitter, engagement CLI, playbook. Full delivery before smoke test delays customer value; minimal delivery risks rework.

Options

Before smoke test (KAIZEN-WP-0008 Part 1):

  • Document customer-repo layout (reference: coulomb-loop)
  • Support pilot schedule init on target repos (docs only; CLI exists)

After smoke test (KAIZEN-WP-0008 Part 2):

  • metrics record --emit-event
  • schedule init --engagement scaffold
  • Playbook v1 in supplier repo
Pros Cons
Fastest proof of LOOP-WP-0001 Playbook incomplete until smoke passes
Playbook informed by real friction

B — Playbook-first

Complete customer-repo template and engagement CLI before any activity-core enable.

Pros Cons
Second customer ready sooner Delays all loop automation
Speculative without smoke data

C — Automation-first

Prioritize activity-core resolver + event emitter; defer playbook to LOOP-WP-0004 T07.

Pros Cons
Unblocks LOOP-WP-0002 events Customer repo conventions undocumented
Cross-repo focus Harder for humans to operate engagement

Recommendation

Option A. Record friction in loops/*/supplier-notes.md during smoke test; feed into playbook draft at LOOP-WP-0004 T07 / KAIZEN-WP-0008 Part 2.
