01
Start with the task
The task names the objective, current decision, current job, closure state, and next recommendation.
Operations explainer
Director Decisions And AgentJob Lifecycle
The lifecycle makes controlled work inspectable. A task narrows into a Director decision, an AgentJob, role execution evidence, completion, and handoff or registry rows when needed.
Lifecycle comprehension
The record chain narrows authority step by step.
A task row, Director decision, AgentJob, execution-role evidence, validation, completion, and handoff each answer a smaller operational question.
The diagram is a static reader aid. It does not replace the source files, route dossiers, or claim-status records that govern the topic.
Mechanism
How to read this surface.
02
Read the decision
The Director decision records selected route, rejected alternatives, claim boundary, and checks.
03
Inspect the AgentJob
The job is the executable scope for one transaction.
Terms
Define the loaded words before using them.
- Task row
- The tracked problem statement and state pointer for a piece of work.Not permission to act outside its current route.
- Execution-role evidence
- The record binding role semantics to one job.Not a reusable authority grant.
Boundaries
What this page must not imply.
- No mutation
- Correct by supersessionRepair work should create a new bounded packet rather than silently rewriting activated history.
- No protected gate bypass
- Gates remain separateOntology adoption, benchmark promotion, and Gate Chair decisions require their own authority path.
Safe reading
A useful summary also names the unsafe one.
- Safe summary
- Supported readingThe lifecycle page explains how one bounded task becomes a decision, an AgentJob, evidence, completion, and possibly a handoff.
- Unsafe summary
- Forbidden shortcutA lifecycle diagram expands authority, rewrites activated records, bypasses protected gates, or changes physics status.

Lifecycle map
Each record narrows the next record.
The durable chain answers what was authorized, what was allowed, what was checked, and what remains blocked or next.
- Task
- Names the objectiveThe task records status, parentage, current decision, current job, closure, and the next recommendation.
- Decision
- Selects the routeThe Director decision records role selection, rejected alternatives, claim boundary, and required checks.
- AgentJob
- Defines executable scopeThe job sets allowed reads and writes, generated outputs, forbidden paths, validators, and stop conditions.
- Completion
- Records evidenceThe completion captures outputs, command results, verdict, uncertainty, and next recommendation for one transaction.
Immutable evidence
Correct by supersession, not silent mutation.
A failed or obsolete record can be followed by a repair packet. The old record stays interpretable because history is not edited into a cleaner story.
- Repair
- New packetA repair or changed route should produce a new bounded packet rather than rewriting activated authority.
- Stop
- Protected authority remains protectedGate Chair verdicts, benchmark promotion, ontology adoption, and source edits require their own authority paths.
- Limit
- Completion evidence stays transaction-localA completion can close or hand off one job, but it cannot make the checked operation a scientific result.
