ETA report — everything in flight, ground-truthed at 03:12:
| task | kind | elapsed | progress | ETA | confidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Product chief gate report (corpus-max plan) | finite, done-pending-audit | seat exited 03:01, plan on disk (43KB) | operator's terminal watch firing | ~minutes | high |
| Quality chief gate report (guard fix) | finite, done-pending-audit | seat exited | same | ~minutes | high |
| Codex FS-1 builder (planetary-gearset) | finite, live + sampled | 21.5 min | 11.8MB of real output; writing verifier fixtures right now (fixture.scad, extents JSON — late-stage work); design.py landed 03:03 | ~10–25 min | medium (no N/total counter; baseline = tonight's codex unit builds) |
| Eng chief (supervising the build) | finite, opaque | 35 min | exits after build + handoff steps | ~15–35 min, bounded by the codex ETA | medium |
| Platform watch (WAS/NOW) | continuous | alive | 11 rows, 0 flips | no ETA — runs until stopped | — |
| Submission queue resume | blocked | — | — | blocked on any platform verdict freeing a slot | external |
Supervision check (the L207 line): nothing is UNSUPERVISED — the codex builder is watched by the eng chief, the eng chief by its wake-operator (45-min cap, ~7 min of headroom left; if the chief outruns it, the operator reports the in-flight state and I inherit the watch — that's the designed handoff, not a gap). I just sampled the live builder's actual output: it's doing real verifier-fixture work, not spinning.
Next completion: the two chief gate reports (minutes). All finite work done: ~03:35–03:45 if the codex ETA holds. Blocked on external: the 9-unit submission queue (platform cap) and 10 pending verdicts — nothing on your side unblocks those.

**Honest divergence from the census headline.** The census projected "22 unique buildable NEW tasks (25 with overlap-risk, up to 34 with WEAK stretch)". I do **not** reach 22 on *new origination*, and the packet's expectation that differentiation would push past 22 is **not borne out**. Three reasons, all measured rather than assumed: 1. **The binding constraint is GENRE supply, not file supply.** 71 shipped units have consumed the "from-scratch parametric reconstruction" genre so completely (~50 of 71 open with a variant of *"create/reconstruct X from scratch in OpenSCAD, using the read-only reference only as context"*) that it is unusable for new work. Every new unit therefore needs a genuinely new verifier mechanism, and I could author 15 distinct ones (G-B…G-S below), not 22. 2. **Six census STRONG solos and three WEAK solos are not new origination at all** — they are the 11 names already on the Founder-approved **batch-8** slate, and they run on the saturated genre. Counting them as new supply would double-count approved work. | **LICENSE-GATED (PLANNED only — Founder ruling required, never buildable until then)** | **7** | | NEEDS-DISTANCE (a named fix stands between the unit and BUILD-READY) | 3 | | CAP (family saturated or no distinct mechanism survives) | 8 groups | | G-M | large-mesh measurement under a memory cap | streaming datum recovery + peak-RSS cap | 0 | 1 | - note: third sibling in this family (parametric-controls exposure) is **CAP** — see §5. - second sibling from this family (revision delta 20→21) is **CAP** — see §5.
27. (16 genuinely new + the 11 already on your approved batch-8 slate.)
Add the gated bands if you unlock them: +7 LICENSE-GATED (the Warhammer/Diablo/Apex groups — your ruling) and +3 NEEDS-DISTANCE (each has a named fix) → ceiling of 37.
The CPO's honest finding on why differentiation didn't push past the census's 22: the binding constraint turned out to be genre supply, not file supply — ~50 of the 71 shipped units already open with the same "reconstruct X from scratch in OpenSCAD" shape, so that genre is consumed. It could author 15 genuinely distinct verifier mechanisms, not unlimited ones, and it refused to double-count the batch-8 names the census had folded in as "new."
So the lifetime corpus total: 71 built + 27 buildable = 98, ceiling 108 with your gates opened — and past that, supply is from-scratch origination (FS-1 is building right now) where genre invention, not files, sets the pace.
put the license-gated ones in a new folder called "license-blocked", then have the CPO start drafting plans for tasks across all genres, knowing what an accepted task looks like from the 1 that has been accepted.
Routing both to the product chief in one wake — quarantine copies (originals in extracted are no-touch, same precedent as flagged/) plus the all-genres drafting pass anchored on the accepted exemplar:

CPO wake #5 dispatching (sonnet operator, opus chief — judgment work):
- license-blocked/ — the 7 LICENSE-GATED groups quarantined as copies with a dated DECISION.md, originals untouched in the no-touch archives, same shape as
flagged/. Excluded from every build lane until your licensing ruling. - genre-plans.md — the chief first dissects ball-valve-parametric (the accepted artifact itself, not memory of it) to distill what acceptance rewarded, then drafts one plan per genre in its G-B…G-S catalog: verifier mechanism, source or from-scratch, category, difficulty sketch, acceptance-pattern match, and a ranked build queue on top.
I gate both on the chief's park: quarantine verified byte-identical to originals, plan file audited against its own verify commands. Meanwhile the codex FS-1 builder was mid-fixture-work at last sample; its park lands through the eng chief's lane.
that cpo should probably be an opus 5, considering the scope of the task, I would like to have at least 300 tasks ready for submission, so this will require all the chiefs to work together to make this happen
The CPO wakes have in fact been executing on Opus already (the CLI's opus resolves to Opus 5) — the staffing paper still pins Fable, which the chiefs themselves flagged as drift. Your ruling fixes that: pin becomes claude-opus-5. And the 300-task target is a cross-department program — that's CEO territory. Waking it to architect the whole thing:

Full board now:
- FS-1 codex build — live, ~33 min in, streaming real verifier code (M1–M8 sampled measurements); deadline 04:20; my terminal watch armed (re-arms if the shell cap kills it)
- Eng chief — alive, supervising its builder; parks after build + handoff
- CEO wake #3 — launching now: the 300-task program plan (supply math, genre×category matrix, lane economics, phase gates incl. FS-1-acceptance-before-fan-out, and the decision list reserved for you) + the CPO's Opus 5 pin applied to staffing
- CPO wake #5 — license-blocked/ quarantine + all-genres drafting, in flight
- Quality chief — guard-fix wake done, gate report pending from its operator
- Platform — 10 pending, no flips; queue resumes on first freed slot
Your 300-target reframes everything: the corpus gets us to ~108, so the program's engine is from-scratch genre×category invention at scale — which is exactly what the CEO is now costing out honestly (build throughput per overnight docker window vs the platform's 10-slot drain rate), with FS-1's acceptance as the proof-gate before any fan-out.
