One platform, two ways in. The science lives in the engine and library; shared product logic lives once in services; Fox (people) and Machines (AI agents) are thin surfaces on top. The work is nine numbered workstreams; each item is a ticket in the Cortex Delivery board. The goal running through all of it: thinner surfaces, a fatter shared middle, every capability built once.

Build alongside the spine; only the job-store swap (2.3) waits (for 1.3 + 3.5).
Nothing blocks these; they run whenever there is a slot.
Computed from the tickets this run — every item currently Ready, In Progress or In Review.
7.3 analysis blocks · 8.2 v6.1 · 8.6/8.7 drivers + Likert — need Matt's rulings (8.4).

The work — by workstream active shown · done in Landed
Objective: Stand up the guardrails and coordination so the build runs safely, in parallel, without rotting.
Needs: Unlocks the whole critical path. These are live lanes, not board tickets.
Objective: Give the platform a real memory — one production database for accounts, keys, assets and results.
Needs: Store ruled (D-021, production). 2.3 waits on 1.3 + 3.5.
staff_role → unlocks the 2.7 admin write-UI (RT-J #7 prerequisite).Objective: Prove the build-once model — move the first real feature into shared services, thin on both surfaces.
Needs: Needs the 1.1 gate + 1.3 job seam; not the data platform. Spec 3.1 ruled.
Objective: Let an AI agent commission a survey end to end — the first Machines proof of concept, internal only.
Needs: Branches off the spine once Surveys reaches its executor (3.5). Delta ruled (D-022).
Objective: Close the honesty and cleanup gaps in the Fox app so demos and pilots are trustworthy.
Needs: No gate — runs anytime, full-auto to verified PRs.
engine-photograph files in 04-sales-demo/david/workspace/data/baked/ (bulk_cache.json, subject_profiles.json, competitor_profiles.json, creative_review_camden.json, survey_camden.json, creative_review.json) either regenerated from the live service at the current pin over the new population, with MANIFEST.json provenance updated and the bake_*.py scripts pointed at the service, or removed with the screens that read them shown an honest empty state. The three fixture-content files stay.Objective: Build the shared plumbing both surfaces rely on — the AI gateway, accounts, a real release path.
Needs: 6.1 rides the Surveys path; 6.3 is independent and unlocks retiring the old VM.
TASK_ENDPOINT_CLASS generated from GET /v1/llm/tasks and pinned by a test.gateway.model_policy (append-only, audit row per change), PUT /v1/admin/llm-policy, and the AC admin console's LLM and costs panel showing the effective policy and its config_hash; the engine domain read-only there.api_keys.expires_at and a sweeper; a keys:mint scope that can only issue short-lived humans-surface keys; the Pages proxy mints one per workspace session bound to the Access-authenticated email and the claimed active account (recorded as a claim until memberships exist), and attaches it to every engine and study call; keyed twins on /v1 for the m2, m3 and m4 analyse routes and their async forms; a flag per route with rollback to the keyless path; a humans-surface default budget.Objective: Grow the product by pulling each study type into shared services, reusing the Surveys machinery.
Needs: Needs the Surveys machinery (3). 7.3 also needs Matt (8.4).
results_hash equality (or the STOP) is recorded on #630 as a checklist row with the run date, the service build, the population id and hash.Objective: Engine & science — the 100k population, the capability workshop, and Matt's handover items.
Needs: 8.1 is urgent and runs now; most rows are Matt-gated.
docs/coordination/BRIEF_MATT_SAMPLED_VECTORISED_SERVING_2026-09-04.md: the data layout and the array contract (memory-mapped population, the statistics artefacts, how a sample is addressed), the sampler specification, the parity and tolerance policy with the σ protocol as its first step, the engine-to-service contract, the migration path and re-baseline plan, effort and sequencing, and the split between what Matt builds and what we build. Slice 1 is the array-in facade (react and analyse_population taking arrays, not List[HSV]).02-bis-lib/tests/parity_v5/evidence/ with the numbers.Objective: Security baseline, dependency debt, and pre-customer licensing validation.
Needs: 9.1 sweep can start now (Codex); 9.2 has David's go.
Objective: Operational, board and CI/bookkeeping tickets — outside the 1-9 delivery spine.
Needs: No delivery dependency; kept homed for the audit trail, not a workstream of work.
