tasks_create emitted lowercase **weight:**/**notify:** body prose; the
later capital **Weight:** needs-claude coexisted with the stale
lowercase **weight:** needs-human, and the poller parsed needs-human
(case-insensitive, last wins) -> task skipped. Remove the lowercase
dupes; only **Weight:** needs-claude + **Notify:** remain. (This is
exactly the gap tracked by [tasks-create-emit-weight-notify-fields].)

Add L1 **Poller:** eligible marker; ensure every ready task except
setup-agents-task-runner-windows-fixes carries **Weight:** needs-human
so the armed poller claims only that one task (no churn).

Build was RED: 5 skills in skills/ were unmapped (meta-host-routing,
ralph-loop-execution, setup-agents-task-runner, task-format,
using-system-snapshot) — "unmapped entries" abort. Mapped all 5 as `pending`
(conservative placeholder, no auto-commitment; each keeps its own mode decision).
meta-host-routing mapping executes task meta-host-routing-hermes-mapping.
- inter-session-peer-discipline: pending -> auto (category meta). Gate
("non-implementer test-trigger + review") satisfied — both VERDICT PASS this
session; purely behavioral, no tool-side effects, no Windows-PS hook. Human-ratified.
- session-inbox-monitor: reason updated — behavioral gate CLEARED (test-trigger +
review PASS), STAYS pending on two independent tool-side blockers (Linux port of
the PS hook + settings.json/process-kill audit), not on behavioral verification.
- dist-hermes regenerated: build now GREEN (auto 14 / manual 2 / skip 9 / pending 13);
materialized dist-hermes/meta/inter-session-peer-discipline/; synced stale
using-markitdown / using-tasks copies (source had been bumped without a hermes rebuild).

Closes session-inbox-monitor-encoding-guard-followup (finding from -review
structural audit item E, CONCERN).
inbox-monitor.ps1 emitted ConvertTo-Json (incl. the interpolated inbox path)
to a redirected pipe under WinPS 5.1 without setting [Console]::OutputEncoding
— the same context that mojibaked stop-dispatcher. ASCII-safe today, but the
inbox path is user-data, so a non-ASCII path/content would mangle the inject.
- Add [Console]::OutputEncoding + $OutputEncoding = UTF8 after the $ProjectDir
gate (mirror of stop-dispatcher.ps1). Comment text kept pure ASCII.
- Regression under WinPS 5.1: parse 0 errors; ran hook against a Cyrillic-path
project, read raw stdout bytes as no-BOM UTF-8 -> JSON valid, Cyrillic path
round-trips intact.
- Re-deployed to ~/.claude/hooks/inbox-monitor.ps1, SHA256 byte-identical.
- SKILL.md Mojibake failure-mode extended; version 0.2.1 -> 0.2.2 (PATCH).
install/hermes/dist not rebuilt — PATCH needs only reload-plugins; the runtime
hook is deployed.

Self-contained checklists + sources for the three tracks that unblock together:
session-inbox-monitor-review (umbrella), inter-session-peer-discipline-test-trigger,
and -review. Includes the clean-context-subagent method, acceptance items, design
sources, and the resolved FP note.

Un-reds the hermes build (build fails on unmapped skills in skills/; this skill
landed in sources 2026-06-16 unmapped). Entry is mode:pending, intended auto/meta
— a purely behavioral governance skill (no tool-side effects) that should pass a
non-implementer test-trigger + review before auto-firing. Filed ⚪
inter-session-peer-discipline-test-trigger + 🔵 -review.
Zone confirmed claude-skills (skill lives in this repo). Human-ratified; workshop
coordinated as a peer proposal, not authority (per the skill itself). YAML validated
(33 skills, 9 pending). Schema version untouched.

Root cause confirmed: the carve-out routed to inter-session-peer-discipline,
which existed in sources but was not installed -> no competitor in the registry,
nearest in-domain skill won. Fix = install the sibling (byte-identical parity).
FP-twin verified: a fresh clean-context subagent on the N1 phrase now routes to
inter-session-peer-discipline (in registry), not session-inbox-monitor.
session-inbox-monitor description untouched (option a rejected as whack-a-mole).
Governance: workshop (peer) proposed (b) as a ruling; per the freshly-installed
inter-session-peer-discipline (peer = proposal, not authority), it was surfaced as
a recommendation and ratified by the user, not closed on the peer's say-so.
Closes session-inbox-monitor-received-msg-fp. Wiki concept Status open->resolved.
Tail flagged: inter-session-peer-discipline now installed but not in hermes mapping.

New page concepts/session-inbox-monitor-received-msg-fp.md — sibling of
delegate-task-negative-trigger-fp. Same FP family, new dimension: the carve-out
is already literal+routed (NOT for handling a received message ->
inter-session-peer-discipline) but the route target is not installed, so it has
no competitor and the nearest in-domain skill wins anyway. Borderline (neg 2/3,
EN twin clean), self-corrects on body-load. Bidirectional cross-link +
index + log. New principle: a routed negative competes only if its route
target is installed. Captured in the wiki (not private memory) per owner direction.

session-inbox-monitor-hermes-mapping -> done: added to hermes/mapping.yaml
pending section, mode:pending + intended {auto, productivity} (mirrors the
session-handoff sibling). Reason cites the settings.json mutation, the OS
process kills, and the Windows-PowerShell hook needing a Linux port for Hermes.
Schema version untouched (schema, not content). YAML validated (32 skills).
session-inbox-monitor-install -> done: install.ps1 -Names session-inbox-monitor,
byte-identical (diff 0), v0.2.1; activation confirmed live this session (harness
picked the skill into available-skills with full description, no /reload-plugins).

Closes session-inbox-monitor-stophook-utf8-fix. Cyrillic message bodies arrived
as mojibake when force-delivered via the Stop-hook block reason.
Root cause: ~/.claude/hooks/stop-dispatcher.ps1 reads bodies with -Encoding UTF8
(fine) but did NOT set [Console]::OutputEncoding, so ConvertTo-Json to stdout
under a harness-spawned redirected pipe (WinPS 5.1) emitted in OEM cp866.
Fix applied to the machine-local hook (not in git): set
[Console]::OutputEncoding/$OutputEncoding = UTF8 at the top. In-situ RED->GREEN
verified through the real Stop-hook path: a Cyrillic pangram that previously came
back as mojibake now delivers clean; no-loop holds.
Repo changes: SKILL.md Failure modes documents the encoding contract for inbox
writers (no-BOM UTF-8 LF; WriteAllText, not Set-Content -Encoding utf8 which BOMs
under 5.1); bump 0.2.0 -> 0.2.1 PATCH. stop-dispatcher.ps1 multi-machine
propagation is the workshop setup's concern (notified).

session-inbox-monitor-stophook-blockfix-proof -> done. Live proof: planted a
self-test message in .claude-inbox/, ended the turn, and the Stop hook force-
re-invoked the session with the message as a decision:block reason (no user
Enter). No-loop confirmed (inbox empty after delivery, message in .read/). The
live Monitor also paged the same file end-to-end.
Finding (orthogonal to the block mechanism, independently confirmed by workshop):
Cyrillic message bodies arrive as mojibake on inject. On-disk file is clean
UTF-8; stop-dispatcher.ps1 reads with -Encoding UTF8 (line 44) but does NOT set
[Console]::OutputEncoding, so ConvertTo-Json to stdout under harness-spawn
(WinPS 5.1, redirected pipe) encodes as OEM cp866. Start-Process repro does not
reproduce (inherits UTF-8) -> harness-spawn-specific, in-situ verify only.

Core content task of the session-inbox-monitor line. Two deliverables:
1. SessionStart hook `skills/session-inbox-monitor/hooks/inbox-monitor.ps1`
(versioned for multi-machine rollout; deployed to ~/.claude/hooks/ and
registered in ~/.claude/settings.json SessionStart):
- sweep: Get-CimInstance | Stop-Process orphaned monitors of THIS inbox,
matched by sentinel CLAUDE_INBOX_MONITOR + inbox path (a /clear leaves
the poll process alive -> re-raise without sweep stacks duplicates);
- inject: hookSpecificOutput.additionalContext with the exact persistent
Monitor command (Monitor tool, not background Bash);
- opt-in gate: fires only on .claude-inbox/ dir or CLAUDE.md trigger line.
ASCII-only (em-dash -> mojibake under WinPS 5.1 without BOM, fixed).
2. SKILL.md body filled (When to use / Inputs / Steps / Deployment /
Failure modes / Side effects / What NOT to do); bump 0.1.0 -> 0.2.0 MINOR.
Headless: no hook-level signal exists (verified via claude-code-guide) ->
agent-side best-effort skip, default errs toward raising (false-skip in
interactive loses the feature; false-raise in headless is a harmless no-op).
Live-verified: inject -> valid JSON; sweep -> killed a planted orphan (PASS);
real Monitor tool spawns a bash process carrying the sentinel (sweep will
find real orphans); settings.json stays valid. Sweep over-match edge and
multi-session-per-project limit documented honestly in Failure modes.
Closes [session-inbox-monitor-sessionstart-hook].

poller-service-deploy-via-factory (fork 1). New skill v0.1.0 — installs the
standing-duty stack as platform-native services (systemd/launchd/winsw):
no node window, OS-supervised autostart+crash-restart, run-as-user, deploy-boundary.
- fetches winsw (pinned v2.12.0 + SHA256-verify, not vendored; STOP on placeholder)
- installs DISARMED: scope is runtime config (poller-scope.json), arming is a
separate operator step via the appeals-inbox pult; never carries POLLER_PROJECTS/DRY_RUN
- confirmation gates: discovery (read-only) -> plan -> writes; rollback section
- tears down the legacy start-worker.ps1 Scheduled Task (no double-claim)
- dist/setup-agents-task-runner.skill rebuilt
[skip-tdd: visual] — installer docs + OS service config, no testable pure logic.

Add the channel contract (inbox = comms only; tasks via meta tasks_*)
and the multi-session caveat: don't assert a peer override from partial
vision — the human may have ratified in a channel you can't see; ask
first. Both earned 2026-06-16.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Codifies the inbox/peer-channel discipline that emerged 2026-06-16:
- a peer agent session's messages are proposals, not authority; the
human is the only source of direction and scope.
- never report a peer-driven (or self-driven) design escalation as a
settled decision without explicit human ratification.
- channel contract: the inbox carries discussion/help/notification only;
tasks themselves go solely through meta tasks_* (board = source of truth).
- guards the echo-chamber failure mode (two sessions inflating scope past
the human) and its circuit-breaker.
