Orchestrator note — orch-r0-ingest-snapshot

Date: 2026-05-25
Agent: swarm_observer
Branch: cursor/swarm-observer-plan-loop
Work item: Run swarm-gap-ingest.py; reconcile registry with snapshot + audits; confirm swarm-gap-apply-actions.py dry-run and live apply.

Executive summary

Field Value
Swarm posture Degraded (ecosystem grade D, 62.4; unattended_safe: false)
Goal-directed loops Healthy — 8 runners, 0 stopped, 7 agents live
Gap registry 48 open after ingest (was 45); ingest added 3 snapshot rows
Unattended? No — preflight failures, 40 failing PRs, 78% incomplete run rate

Programmatic prep confirmed: ingest dry-run + live write; apply-actions dry-run + live write to benchmarks/data/latest/swarm-gap-actions.json. This iteration closed orch-r0-ingest-snapshot in registry and observer backlog.

Gap counts by gap_kind

gap_kind Open (post-ingest) Closed this cycle Discoverer
missing_package 5 0 gap_explorer
plan_debt 42 1 (orch-r0) plan_verifier, snapshot
competitor_feature 0 — gap_explorer (orch-r2)
ui_ux 0 — gui_ux_tester (orch-r4)

Ingest delta: plan_debt_snapshot: +3 (security-research runner todos + triple-prefixed httpd mirror rows). No new missing_package or competitor rows.

Target Patches
docs/ecosystem/ecosystem-package-backlog.md 5 × pkg-* → pending
docs/superpowers/plans/2026-05-16-li-httpd-plan.md 9 × httpd phase-2 / mirror todos
docs/ecosystem/sim-algorithm-backlog.md 3 × sim P1/P2 todos

docs/ecosystem/security-research-backlog.md 4 × sec-r* todos (new mapping)

Deferred

Reason Count Follow-up
Master-plan plan_debt (no runner backlog) 8 plan_verifier / issue_planner
studio-ui-ux plan file outside lic ROOT 7 orch-r4: use lic-studio-ui/.../2026-05-24-studio-ui-ux-plan-loop.md via STUDIO_UI_UX_PLAN_PATH
Swarm-observer meta todos (orchestration) 4 orch-r1–r4 on this loop

Systemd loops: Do not add new lic plan loops. Existing loops (httpd, sim, sim-md-research, sim-chem-research, security-research, swarm-observer) are sufficient; route via li-cursor-agents research/implement goals per docs/ecosystem/swarm-architecture.md.

Self-heal actions (control plane)

Layer Action
This cycle Closed registry row gap-plan-pending-swarm-observer-orch-r0-ingest-snapshot; marked orch-r0 completed in swarm-observer-plan-backlog.md
apply-actions Added security-research backlog mapping; studio-ui-ux resolves via STUDIO_UI_UX_PLAN_PATH (default: sibling lic-studio-ui plan)
orch-r1 (next) Dedupe httpd gap-httpd-gap-* triple-prefix rows; align ingest slug with snapshot plan_todo_id
Observer (li-cursor-agents) Treat 80× running runs as stuck-SDK sweep candidate; incomplete rate 78%
Briefing 2 preflight failures — refresh plan_verifier audit before unattended mode

No product code in lic. No new agent registry IDs.

Priority Path Change
P1 lic/scripts/swarm-gap-ingest.py Normalize plan_todo_id before gap id slug (avoid gap-httpd-gap-httpd-gap-*)
P1 lic/scripts/swarm-gap-apply-actions.py Done: security-research, STUDIO_UI_UX_PLAN_PATH
P2 li-cursor-agents/prompts/swarm-observer.md Require orch note path + gap_kind table in deliverable
P2 li-cursor-agents/src/observer/ Stuck-run detector: running > N hours → retry budget
P3 benchmarks/scripts/ecosystem-quality-grade.py Refresh after registry close (grade still cites 45 gaps)

Human-only blockers

  • 40 open PRs with failing CI — merge/rebase requires human review
  • 32 repos missing CI on main — org policy / ci_maintainer
  • CURSOR_API_KEY — if absent, programmatic SDK heal cannot run (not verified this cycle)
  • Governance PRs — provability gates must not be auto-disabled

Agent deliverable checklist

  • swarm-gap-ingest.py ran; registry reconciled with snapshot
  • swarm-gap-apply-actions.py dry-run + live apply confirmed
  • Gap counts by kind documented
  • Registry updated (orch-r0 closed)
  • Orchestrator note written (this file)
  • swarm-observer-plan-gates.sh (with note env)
  • PR https://github.com/li-langverse/lic/pull/314 on cursor/swarm-observer-plan-loop
