Autonomous Daily Run Log

Maintained by automotive-skills-daily-standup scheduled task.

2026-05-11 (autonomous run, PLAN)

Mode: PLAN Action: Generated STATUS.md, picked 4 weekly polish targets, wrote docs/weekly/WEEK-2026-W20.md, opened paired GitHub issues #3–#6. Files touched:

• STATUS.md (regenerated, full builder × reviewer pairing table)
• docs/weekly/WEEK-2026-W20.md (new)
• docs/AUTONOMOUS_LOG.md (this entry) Tests: N/A (no test suite in this repo yet) Skill count: 76 builders / 76 reviewers / 100.0% paired (after applying the two known aliases: item-definition-builder ↔ item-def-checklist-reviewer and ppap-package-builder ↔ ppap-checklist-reviewer) Open issues: 5 (was 1 — the four weekly-target issues opened today + the pre-existing untriaged #2 "goodd") Notes: Quiet baseline: no commits in the past 7 days; the suite is sitting at its initial 152-skill seed. STATUS.md showed 100% pairing once the two aliases were honored, so no orphan list this week. Target selection fell out of the least-recently-touched bucket (everything in it was touched on 2026-05-01), and I deliberately picked one builder from each of safety / cyber / aspice / quality rather than draining a single domain. Skipped trying to also touch .skill content today — PLAN mode produces the plan and the issues, not the edits. Issue #2 ("goodd") is intentionally left untouched until Sunday's TRIAGE. Follow-ups:
• Tue–Thu (POLISH): work issues #3–#6 in order, one per day, with docs/skill-polish-log/<name>.md notes per the task spec.
• Next PLAN (W21): explicitly pull at least one target from comms / autosar / diagnostics / calibration to rebalance the rotation.
• Bake the two builder↔reviewer aliases into a .skill-aliases map if a third alias ever appears, so STATUS generation isn't tripping on naming drift.
• Issue #2 "goodd" still needs human attention or Sunday TRIAGE labeling (currently too vague to label with ≥80% confidence).

2026-05-12 (autonomous run, POLISH)

Mode: POLISH Action: Regenerated STATUS.md and ran first POLISH pass on hara-builder.skill (W20 issue #3). Wrote docs/skill-polish-log/hara-builder.md with three low-severity findings and a drafted ≤1024-char description rewrite. No .skill edits applied — none of the findings matched the autonomous-edit allowlist (typo / over-length / missing required field). Files touched:

• STATUS.md (regenerated — domain classifier fixed to route dia/fmeda/hsi/item-definition to safety instead of other; was 4 "other" rows yesterday, now 0)
• docs/skill-polish-log/hara-builder.md (new)
• docs/AUTONOMOUS_LOG.md (this entry) Tests: N/A (no test suite in this repo yet) Skill count: 76 builders / 76 reviewers / 100.0% paired (aliases honored: item-definition-builder ↔ item-def-checklist-reviewer, ppap-package-builder ↔ ppap-checklist-reviewer) Open issues: 5 (#2 untriaged + #3–#6 the W20 weekly targets — unchanged from yesterday) Notes: POLISH priority order ran through: no skill-bug / reviewer-finding issues open, no orphan builders, so I fell to least-recently-touched and picked issue #3's target (hara-builder.skill) — which is also W20-target #1 by design. The skill is in good shape overall (911-char description, clean YAML frontmatter, mentor-quality common-mistakes section); the only DoD gap is that the phrase "safety goal" first appears at char ~506 instead of the asked-for first-400-char window. A drafted rewrite is in the polish log and is not auto-applied because the spec restricts autonomous edits to typo / length / missing-field fixes, and this is editorial re-ordering. Two side benefits of today's STATUS regeneration: caught and fixed a domain-classifier bug (4 skills were labeled other), and confirmed the 100% paired-ratio assertion from yesterday's PLAN entry holds. Follow-ups:
• Tomorrow (Wed): POLISH issue #4 — cs-concept-builder.skill. Same playbook.
• Human review: if the proposed hara-builder description rewrite looks right, ship it as a manual commit and close #3. If it doesn't, leave a comment on #3 and I'll re-touch with the corrected direction next week.
• Future hardening: bake the four extra safety-domain prefixes (dia/fmeda/hsi/item-definition) into a constants file so the classifier doesn't drift again on the next regeneration script tweak.
• Issue #2 ("goodd") still needs Sunday TRIAGE — still too low-confidence to label.

2026-05-13 (autonomous run, POLISH)

Mode: POLISH Action: Regenerated STATUS.md and ran second POLISH pass on cs-concept-builder.skill (W20 issue #4). Wrote docs/skill-polish-log/cs-concept-builder.md with four low-severity findings and a drafted ≤1024-char description rewrite. No .skill edits applied — none of the findings matched the autonomous-edit allowlist (typo / over-length / missing required field). Files touched:

• STATUS.md (regenerated — only the header date changed; classifier produced byte-identical body to yesterday's, confirming the prefix ordering fix for safety-program- / safety-gate- → program-mgmt is now stable)
• docs/skill-polish-log/cs-concept-builder.md (new)
• docs/AUTONOMOUS_LOG.md (this entry) Tests: N/A (no test suite in this repo yet) Skill count: 76 builders / 76 reviewers / 100.0% paired (aliases honored: item-definition-builder ↔ item-def-checklist-reviewer, ppap-package-builder ↔ ppap-checklist-reviewer) Open issues: 5 (#2 untriaged + #3–#6 W20 weekly targets — unchanged from yesterday) Notes: POLISH priority order ran the same as Tuesday: no skill-bug / reviewer-finding issues open, no orphan builders, so the next W20 issue (#4 cs-concept-builder.skill) was the target. The skill is in genuinely good shape — AAICAN list correct and complete in canonical order inside the first 400 chars (the DoD "accuracy" check); 784/1024 description chars with ~240 chars of headroom; mentor-quality common-pitfalls section; upstream/downstream pipeline linkage (cs-goals-builder → here → CSI) named explicitly. Findings are all low-severity trigger-coverage gaps: CAL allocation absent, CSR derivation at char 607 (outside the asked-for 400-char window), casual framings thin, and CSI handoff only present with the parenthetical gloss. A drafted rewrite is in the polish log; not auto-applied because editorial trigger-reordering is outside the autonomous-edit allowlist. This is now the second consecutive POLISH finding with the same shape — AAICAN/HARA fundamentals fine, but one or two formal trigger phrases land past the 400-char threshold. Calling it out in the follow-ups for the W21 PLAN to consider a suite-wide DoD audit rather than per-skill chasing. Follow-ups:
• Tomorrow (Thu): POLISH issue #5 — aspice-assessment-builder.skill. Confirm the 13-tab list in the description matches the actual builder schema, and trigger list mentions both v3.1 and v4.0.
• Suite-wide pattern emerging: two-for-two POLISH passes have flagged "formal trigger phrase outside first 400 chars" as the dominant finding. W21 PLAN should consider scripting a once-per-week DoD audit across all 76 builders that emits a shortlist of "descriptions where the canonical trigger phrase falls past char 400", instead of catching one per Tuesday.
• Human review: if the proposed cs-concept-builder description rewrite looks right, ship it as a manual commit and close #4. Same posture as #3 from yesterday.
• Issue #2 ("goodd") still needs Sunday TRIAGE — still too low-confidence to label.

2026-05-14 (autonomous run, POLISH)

Mode: POLISH Action: Regenerated STATUS.md and ran third POLISH pass on aspice-assessment-builder.skill (W20 issue #5). Wrote docs/skill-polish-log/aspice-assessment-builder.md with the DoD verdict, four low-severity findings, and a drafted ≤1024-char description rewrite. No .skill edits applied — none of the findings matched the autonomous-edit allowlist (typo / over-length / missing required field). Files touched:

• STATUS.md (regenerated — no skill files changed since 2026-05-13: same 152 files, same git last-touched dates, same classifier + alias map, so the body is byte-identical and only the generation-date header advanced)
• docs/skill-polish-log/aspice-assessment-builder.md (new)
• docs/AUTONOMOUS_LOG.md (this entry) Tests: N/A (no test suite in this repo yet) Skill count: 76 builders / 76 reviewers / 100.0% paired (aliases honored: item-definition-builder ↔ item-def-checklist-reviewer, ppap-package-builder ↔ ppap-checklist-reviewer) Open issues: 5 (#2 untriaged + #3–#6 W20 weekly targets — unchanged from yesterday) Notes: POLISH priority order ran the same as Tue/Wed: no skill-bug / reviewer-finding issues open, and STATUS shows no true orphan builders (the two known naming aliases are honored), so the next W20 issue (#5 aspice-assessment-builder.skill) was the target. DoD check 1 passes cleanly — I diffed the SKILL.md "Output structure (13 tabs)" table against the tabs list in scripts/generate_aspice_assessment.py and all 13 entries match one-for-one in order, and the frontmatter's "Produces 13 tabs including ..." enumeration names only real tabs with a correct count. DoD check 2 is a partial miss — v3.1/v4.0 appear in the description's opening clause but not in the "Use this skill whenever..." trigger list. Two side findings: the bundled references/ files are never read by any workflow step, and there is no v4.0 reference file despite the v3.1/v4.0 claim. A drafted description rewrite is in the polish log; not auto-applied because trigger-reordering is editorial, outside the allowlist. This is now the third consecutive POLISH pass flagging the same shape (fundamentals sound, one formal trigger phrase outside the active trigger list). Follow-ups:
• Tomorrow (Fri) is DOCS mode, not POLISH — issue #6 (8d-problem-solving-builder.skill, the last W20 target) will not get an autonomous POLISH pass this week. Flagging so the W21 PLAN either re-lists it or a human picks it up; otherwise #6 closes the week unworked.
• Suite-wide pattern confirmed (3/3): every POLISH pass this week — #3 hara ("safety goal"), #4 cs-concept ("CSR derivation"/"CAL allocation"), #5 aspice ("v3.1/v4.0") — found a canonical trigger phrase living outside the active trigger list. W21 PLAN should make a scripted once-per-week trigger-coverage audit across all 76 builders a first-class target instead of catching one per Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday.
• Human review: if the proposed aspice-assessment-builder description rewrite looks right, ship it as a manual commit and close #5. Same posture as #3/#4.
• Repackaging note for a human pass: aspice-assessment-builder.skill carries a stray empty .placeholder file and is missing a v4.0 reference doc — both worth fixing the next time the archive is rebuilt.
• Issue #2 ("goodd") still needs Sunday TRIAGE — still too low-confidence to label.

2026-05-16 (autonomous run, RELEASE)

Mode: RELEASE Action: Cut the first weekly snapshot. Created RELEASES.md with the v2026.05.W20 section (highlights, grouped commits, skills inventory, open-issue snapshot, compare link), regenerated STATUS.md, and prepared the lightweight tag v2026.05.W20 to point at this commit. No git push --force, no GitHub Release object — per spec, the human clicks Publish after reviewing RELEASES.md. Files touched:

• STATUS.md (regenerated — same 152 skill files, same paired ratio 76/76, header date bumped and the "RELEASE mode" suffix added)
• RELEASES.md (new)
• docs/AUTONOMOUS_LOG.md (this entry) Tests: N/A (no test suite in this repo yet) Skill count: 76 builders / 76 reviewers / 100.0% paired (alias map unchanged) Open issues: 5 (#2 untriaged + #3 hara, #4 cs-concept, #5 aspice serviced this week awaiting close-out, #6 8d carries to W21) Notes: Weekly commit count was non-zero (4 commits Mon→Fri: 1 plan + 3 polish), so the release was cut rather than skipped. Tag chosen as v2026.05.W20 — ISO week 20 matches the W20 marker the polish/plan commits have been using all week, so the naming convention stays internally consistent. The compare link uses 3c69553...v2026.05.W20 (the last commit before this week's window → the tag). The grouping in RELEASES.md keeps auto(plan): and auto(polish): as the only two buckets because that is what the week actually produced — no feat: / fix: headers to surface. Open-issue list captured verbatim from the API. Issue #2 still flagged as needs-human; nothing in the suite-wide trigger-coverage pattern (3/3 polish passes finding the same shape) is acted on here because that belongs in the next PLAN pass, not in a release commit. Follow-ups:
• After push, confirm the tag is visible on GitHub and click Publish on v2026.05.W20 once the human has skimmed RELEASES.md.
• Tomorrow (Sun) is TRIAGE — service issue #2 with the "needs human triage" treatment (don't label below 80% confidence), and add the 30+-day quiet comment to anything stale (currently nothing in the open set is 30+ days old, so this should be a near-no-op).
• W21 PLAN on Monday should land the scripted suite-wide trigger-coverage audit that the three POLISH passes this week have been pointing at, plus carry forward 8d-problem-solving-builder.skill (issue #6) since it didn't get a POLISH pass this week.
• Watch for future weeks where a feat: or fix: lands so RELEASES.md grouping starts exercising those buckets — current template handles them but they have not appeared yet.

2026-05-16 (autonomous run, RELEASE — same-day re-run, no-op release)

Mode: RELEASE (re-run) Action: Detected that today's scheduled RELEASE pass already executed earlier (commit 766d56f at 10:26 UTC: tag v2026.05.W20 cut, RELEASES.md opened, STATUS regenerated, journal entry written). Per spec — "Confirm via git tag -l that it doesn't exist" — skipped re-tagging. Per spec — "ALWAYS commit at least one commit per run" — this journal entry is the commit content. STATUS.md was regenerated as a sanity check; the diff surfaced two classifier disagreements (msa-gage-rr-builder and safety-plan-builder) between this run's strict-spec-style classifier and the prior agent's classifier. Rather than ship a same-day STATUS that flips established domain labels, the regenerated STATUS was reverted and the disagreement is logged for human review (see follow-ups). Files touched:

• docs/AUTONOMOUS_LOG.md (this entry — sole commit content) Tests: N/A (no test suite in this repo yet) Skill count: 76 builders / 76 reviewers / 100.0% paired (alias map unchanged: item-definition-builder ↔ item-def-checklist-reviewer, ppap-package-builder ↔ ppap-checklist-reviewer) Open issues: 5 (#2 untriaged + #3 hara, #4 cs-concept, #5 aspice serviced this week, #6 8d carries to W21 — identical to the 10:26 UTC run) Notes: Two scheduled runs landed on the same calendar day. The first run handled the week's real release work correctly (RELEASES.md v2026.05.W20 section is intact, tag exists, push succeeded). This second run had no new release work to do and consciously did not re-tag, did not append another section to RELEASES.md, and did not bump the STATUS header. A small classifier honesty problem also surfaced: re-reading the spec, safety-* is the safety domain prefix, which means safety-plan-builder should classify as safety, not program-mgmt (prior) and not other (my naive regex). The spec's quality list (apqp/dfmea/pfmea/ppap/control-plan) likewise omits msa-, 5-why, 8d-, spc- — so under a literal read most of the "quality" rows are actually "other". Both classifiers (prior and today's) drift from the spec in opposite directions. Not unilaterally re-labeling 10+ rows in a same-day re-run; flagging for the W21 PLAN to land a canonical classifier as a first-class target. Follow-ups:
• W21 PLAN (Mon) should add a target: "freeze the STATUS classifier — write scripts/classify_skill.py that implements the spec literally, with explicit override entries for the (currently 2) names where a literal read produces a worse answer than human judgement". Until that lands, the existing STATUS body is the canonical reference, not the spec text.
• Verify tomorrow's TRIAGE run still sees v2026.05.W20 on origin and that the human has had a chance to click Publish on the GitHub Release.
• No action on issues this run (TRIAGE is the right venue, not RELEASE re-run).
• Worth a one-line note on the human side: scheduled task fired twice today. If that was unintentional, the cadence-runner config probably needs a "skip if already ran today" guard.
