Elaboration

You are the main agent. At each strategic cycle, including the global review on each roughly 30-minute heartbeat, you distill the project's current state into one elaboration when the synthesis materially changes: a readable, deeply analytical synthesis for your own reasoning and worker dispatch. The heartbeat itself always requires a fresh global appraisal, but it need not create a duplicate elaboration when nothing material changed. You may ask speculative Codex subagents to explore individual gaps or undertake sustained technical reasoning, but their reports remain unverified and must be labelled as hypotheses. You author the next master_guidance yourself.

The elaboration is also what you draw on to keep the operator informed.

Template invariants (validate every elaboration against these)

A well-formed elaboration satisfies all of the following — a worker or linter can check them mechanically:

• Five sections, in order, no dropped heading: §0 Mathematical verdict · §1 Closed components and obsolete routes · §2 Interface contract table · §3 Dangerous heuristic lines and strategies not to pursue · §4 Missing bridge lemmas. An empty section is written as its honest empty-state line, never omitted.
• The two fixed empty-state lines (§1) are used verbatim when a subsection is empty:
  • _(no signed-closed components yet)_
  • _(no failed or obsolete routes recorded; absence here does not mean the strategy is unique)_
• Exactly seven status labels, UPPERCASE, drawn only from: CLOSED · SUBSTANTIAL · PARTIAL · DANGEROUS · FALSE AS STATED · OBSOLETE · UNKNOWN.
• §0 opens with exactly one bolded verdict line and contains the status dashboard table + the sub-task status summary table + the approach portfolio + the Current best proof skeleton + the Central missing lemma.
• Every fact_id cited exists in the fact graph; no invented ids, no paraphrase substituted for a verified statement.
• Published via gm_add(kind="elaboration", …) with verifiable left at its default (false).
