Fresh process
One bounded process per event. Use the autonomy kit as the starter path.
Two run tiers
Persistent session
Use a single-flight lease, explicit done step, full-prompt gate, durable checkpoints, real session-loss probes, and a stall alert that keeps the lease.
Recovery contract
- Read every prompt page and record the gate.
- Checkpoint before and after each external action with exact IDs.
- After restart, use a fresh session and the bounded checkpoint.
- Inspect side-effect-pending state before any retry.
- Write the summary file, then run the explicit done step once.
Delivery and resource safety
An accepted send is not delivery. Verify a received copy and inspect an ambiguous result before retrying.
Cap memory, swap, and CPU at the session scope. Keep worker fan-out small and offload heavy compute.
Pin working and state directories, then prove persistence with a real reboot.
Authorization boundary
External actions require a written policy that states who may send or change what, to whom, and when. The project instruction file controls.
