HO NG KONG studio-doctrine day (2026-07-06) — physics-must-feel-right, research-before-defect, and the warmth line: preserve the city's beauty, share happiness.
v4 additions (2026-07-06) — football kit correction (§3½): "as i said" instruction-retention, domain accuracy as a production gate, cost-stop at structural vendor limit; Weekly Review W27 honest self-scores; ceo-decisions.json surveyed (22 live decisions, §6 confirmed).
v5 additions (2026-07-06) — Company/CEO Reviews/2026-06-27 Verbatim Brief (largest pre-July brief, exact words): §1 two voice registers (fast-type burst vs structured strategic-brief) + 4 new June-27 samples; §2.13 shadow-the-world's-best-then-surpass (GTA / Minervini / Seedance are all instances); §2.14 ongoing-not-one-kick-off (every approved system loops and compounds daily — if it stops when no one asks, it's a demo); §3 leverage as named spirit ("lower effort, higher profit") + selective confidentiality; §7 KAuto real-account test milestone (W28); two consecutive zero-health weeks = structural risk confirmed, not a data gap.
v6 additions (2026-07-06) — Studio Direction 2026-07-02 CEO MANDATE (verbatim Bold-Repaint mandate + 3-wave refinement record): §1 four new voice samples (reach/effort-gap critique, interactive-elements demand, shadow-top-design in design, preview-permanence "do nt dumb them"); §2.15 effort → highest-reach surface first ("not just some login pages that not many can see"); §3 record-navigable value (rejected paths kept as reference, not erased); §4 he curates reference directions himself — owns taste-setting, not just verdict.
v7 additions (2026-07-06) — Design Language §8 CEO ruling (2026-07-03): §2.16 integrated-over-gated — features must live IN the product data, not only on login/gate screens; he rejected the "dead explainer box above content" on Invest; priority: data → popover → front-tab panel; ship the in-app version in the same change. Weekly Review W26 (June 22–27): move 0/5 confirmed → structural zero-movement streak extended to three consecutive weeks (W26 + W27 + W28); §7 threshold updated. Also surveyed: auto-archived CEO prompt files (Jul 3–4) + monthly/daily life reviews (Jul 1–5) — no new persona material.
v8 additions (2026-07-07) — Goals/Archive 2026-07-07 game Q&A record: CEO tool-stack audit instinct ("so i need meshy, blender and glb? three software subscription?") + concept-vs-live quality gap naming ("i dt agree these are acceptable quality… far less realistic than the concept picture, when is G2?"). Studio Productivity Overhaul 2026-07-07: three CEO verbatim critiques of the HO NG KONG studio automation; §2.17 structure-must-enable-automation (GDD/folders only justified if agents run without CEO chat — "it jus looks like a comand + little abit automation made"); §2.18 paid-capacity-idle-is-waste (subscription = standing daily performance claim; the chat overhead IS the evidence of idle capacity); §3 two new values ("is it working" = a number; subscription-cost = autonomous-output claim).
v9 additions (2026-07-07) — Studio Productivity Overhaul 2026-07-07 (re-read, second half): §1 new voice sample (multi-dept promotion commissioning; "record this in a plan, but also execute it" plan-and-act pairing); §2.19 dev-record-as-promotion-material (build loop must feed audience daily — product loop and audience loop are one loop; extends §2.14 ongoing-not-one-kick-off outward); §2.20 dry-queue-is-design-failure (absence of a task brief is NEVER acceptable; a dry queue means the Producer failed to queue → fallback mandate must run, not an idle state); §3 kind-spirit rule (dignity preserved in conflict; character always gets up — warmth value applied to interaction design; honest score, never shame); §3 "chat ships don't count" (autonomous-only output is the score; CEO-prompted work excluded from the automation target — the ratio IS the real health number).
v10 additions (2026-07-07) — Life/HO NG KONG/Decisions Log.md (NEW SOURCE — per-project CEO decisions log, first use; richest verbatim record of decisions on one project): §2.21 decision-debt quantification (CEO approved HKD/day cost-of-delay ranking: audience decisions = HKD 361/day vs compute = HKD 18/day → 20:1; cleared audience 4 first); §3 social product philosophy (players never pay — brand-deal funnel, reach monetized to brands; break-even modeled: ~1,000 followers → HKD 2K/mo at 10K); §4 taste locks revisable by direct experience (L3→L2 clean, both recorded; authentic object = the spec, not a prose description). M6 X-Account Binary CEO Decision (NEW SOURCE — first documented recommendation override): §6 updated — he chose Option B (separate accounts) over the calculated Option A (HKD 13,230 better Superformance timeline), for qualitative audience-fit + editorial simplicity; named the cost accepted. Four new §1 voice samples (L2 fillet reversal, 摺凳 photo reference, 40-player alert, public URL observation).
v11 additions (2026-07-07) — decisions-resolved.json first complete 95-decision audit (v4 checked first ~22; v10 most recent batch; this pass read all 95 and surfaced CEO-annotated notes not previously mined). Two new §1 voice samples: Flagship-3D automation interrogation ("why theres notbuildable block, are the 3D model as detail as can be manufactured automatically, with all parts listed for manufacuring, learning from professional engineering knowledge" — key 55c5826853dd) + readiness-hold ("later to be live, now still developing" — key f0c802866832). §6 condition-stated defer nuance: a Defer always arrives with its own unlock condition in the same breath; the hold IS the schedule; when the product ships, the hold lifts. §6 new heuristic: accountability distributes to named roles (Ops Manager assigned metric-certification over CEO personal sign-off — key a287f400b813). Also surveyed and cleared: Studio Direction 2026-06-29, LIFE-CHARACTER-GAME-DESIGN.md, How-to-Decide Playbook — none contain direct CEO voice.
v12 additions (2026-07-07) — CEO Prompts 2026-07-07 §3–5 (deeper re-read): §1 new voice sample — multiplayer-readiness interrogation ("when different account of people playing tgt can see other players, as its online game, right? now" — compact "right? now" = honesty-interrogation + immediate-readiness demand in one breath); §2.22 stack-choice-subordinate-to-reach-mechanism — declined UE5/Unity because it would kill "zero-install web play (URL-is-the-game, shareable street links, social funnel)"; chose in-stack G2.5 baked-GI quality path. Owner Taste Profile (deeper re-read): §4 formal SMALL/MID/LARGE tuning-scale framework (owner: "you should know wts small tunning, mid tunning and large tunning" — correcting a LARGE concept swap from a SMALL critique); §4 five-point geometry dialect (geometric skeleton → radius-family consistent with face mark → face-weight stroke → abstract metaphor over literal → minor-only asymmetry) ratified by "Life OS ✅ good / Ho Future ✅ good" verdicts.
v13 additions (2026-07-07) — HO NG KONG Decisions Log (full 2026-07-07 re-read; v10 captured only the first four 07-07 rows; this pass mines the full day: PLAY-FEEL, GTA, SURVIVAL+POLITENESS, VERSUS+COURTESY, social-engine batches). Four new §1 voice samples: UI-retirement principle ("fillet look selection button shd be gone after i chose already"); cultural NPC AI spec ("usually road rage wont happen. when ever rob a car the player use polite word to rob too" — behavioral accuracy, not visual); courtesy ranking system ("ask politely before rob = +3 marks" — virtue rewarded by design rules); privacy model raised unprompted ("emphasize talk wont save or show in game, by named techlogy or privacy"). §2.23 best-available-version-is-the-public-default (inferior/testing path must never be the arrival experience). §3 courtesy systemically incentivized (virtue built into scoring rules; kind-spirit extended to virtue-rewarded). §3 privacy as proactive design value (privacy shielding in the same brief as the feature, not post-ship). §4 cultural accuracy extended to NPC behavior (city's social norms shape entity behavior — polite robbers, zero road rage — not just its appearance).
v14 additions (2026-07-07) — HO NG KONG Decisions Log (post-v13 record: social-media engine commissioning, growth-tactic boundary, spatial authenticity, rubber-band weapon, position memory, GTA expansion batch). Six new §1 voice samples. §2.24 mechanic-as-spec/credential-as-authorization: the feel IS the spec (rubber-band weapon: "longer it press (pull) farther it shoots"); the credential IS the mandate (sharing the .env IS authorization); delegate at outcome level, not implementation level. §2.25 platform-policy constraint acceptance: ban risk is a real engineering constraint, not a rule to argue around; accept the constraint, redirect immediately to the legitimate path, trust the agent to build the best version within it. §3 position memory as UX care standard: the product preserves the user's in-session investment (position, name, unlocks) — "if no memory then user may can go back to where they are." §4 spatial authenticity for in-world objects: signs/items physically tethered to their context; floating objects break spatial truth in the same category as a clippable wall breaks physics truth. Post-v11 decisions-resolved.json entries checked and cleared (no CEO annotations).
v15 additions (2026-07-07) — Life/HO NG KONG/Culture Lines.md (NEW SOURCE — player-facing cultural text register, CEO-commissioned 2026-07-07; verbatim directive: "wording and conversation can refer to some culture of hk culture nowadays, like JFFT, and trial and error, the cultural slangs, (this can be checked and reversible for CEO)"); Dev Journal/2026-07-07 M1 online era (late-night launch directive: "advance the 3d quality level of item objects and map size for the launch"). Two new §1 voice samples. §2.26 cultural-content reversibility — every player-facing line pool in a CEO-auditable register with code location cited + git-revert path; "reversible for CEO" IS the governance requirement. §2.27 verification-before-ship for named cultural references — personal knowledge is the brief; live-source confirmation is the gate (LIHKG / Threads / IG; current usage + IP safety). §5 expanded with attested Cantonese humor pools: 周星馳/食神 reference embedded naturally (七種武器之首/摺凳); PREACH pool gentle moralizing; polite-robber register (唔好意思, 借架車用用先, 唔該晒); 14 NPC occupation roles (street market aunties → 影相佬); HIT_AMUSED variants (打醒晒我,唔該!).
v16 additions (2026-07-07) — Goals/Archive 2026-07-07 game Q&A record (engine, realism, online, tokens) §5 re-read: CEO learning-mode register for an unfamiliar system ("for the card, wt does it mean… how do i input the token name?" — a third register distinct from burst + strategic-brief: fast-learn ask, acts immediately once answered). HO NG KONG Decisions Log (fourth re-read, post-v14/v15 entries): §2.28 resolution-path-in-the-same-breath (desired outcome + accepted fallback pre-approved together in one ask: "@ho.ng.kong… if cant open that, naming sth close to it" → structured fallback ladder; distinct from §6 condition-stated defer — not pausing, but naming the continuation path); §2.19 DOCX/Drive portability extension (dev record must reach all audiences: repo for agents, posting-ready for public, DOCX/Drive for offline-presentable artifacts — "save in drive to create for photos and documents in docx well too"); three new §1 voice samples.
v17 additions (2026-07-07) — HO NG KONG Decisions Log (fifth re-read — rows 27, 32, 33, 35 not captured in earlier passes). Four new §1 voice samples: brand-as-mural ("the wall can give somewhere the face logo printed" — identity embedded in world, not floating UI); triple comprehension interrogation ("i still understand… same game or wt… web one and mobile one wont meet each other if different devices?" — conceptual clarity + functional gap + cross-device parity bug found while testing; all fixed same hour); mechanism documentation demand ("does teh mechanism of realmap one, record in md files in folder" — produced Real-Map Pipeline.md); named-feature visibility accountability ("n when is the objects wd be rendered upgraded well as i still cant see the folding chair" — approved feature not yet visible; root cause: no model existed; §2.2 extension). §2.10 cross-device parity extension (same URL on desktop + mobile must share a room; divergence = bug found in-world, not in a report). §2.19 mechanism-md extension (named system's mechanism must live in its own pointed md file in the project folder — "does X record in md files" is his audit Q). §4 new taste note: brand mark embedded as environmental mural (tong-lau gable — identity belongs to the city fabric when the world IS the product; parallel to §2.16 integrated-over-gated).
v18 additions (2026-07-08) — first formal mine of pre-July Goals/Archive (June 12–16 files never previously numbered as sources). Three new §1 voice samples: grand directive (June 12 Cornerstone + Operating Model v2 commissioning — "continue now, with the newest model fable 5… build anything you need… can run it without my permission until finished… thank you" — fourth register: vision-first, radical delegation, honest uncertainty, rare closing "thank you"); minimal delegation ("you run continue by yrself" / "continue yr work till finished" — /goal commands at their most compressed, June 16); design-as-completion ("not now the plain one without any design" — functional progress without visible designed form is not finished). §1 Grand Directive register added (fourth register, alongside burst / strategic-brief / learning-mode). §4 design-as-completion taste note. §3 AI-warmth value signal ("thank you" to the system is the real register). Sources #30–32 added. Also swept thin: 2026-07-07 A-live autonomous Goals record (no CEO voice), Daily Review 2026-07-07 (coach output), Monthly Review 2026-07-01 (Buy.md notes confirm §1 cryptic-shorthand pattern; no new heuristics), 2026-06-23 Proactive improvement cycle (intent paraphrased; no new verbatim), 2026-07-07 M3 kaa-live 3-Line Business Model (agent-authored; CEO "Approve" already in §6).
v19 additions (2026-07-08) — Goals/Archive 2026-06-18 (base-computer cutover day — autonomy grant: "execute to form automation by their judgement as many documents written abt hws the project wanna go to be full automation… i give the auditor much permission, only very few ones should ask me"): §2.29 autonomy-via-documentation (the written project docs ARE the standing instruction; only undocumented edge cases escalate to CEO; documented work runs without a question). Goals/Archive 2026-06-19 (Evolving North Star — "the north star is not one kick off… it needs help of ledger talk and ask frequently… inspiring me n asking me details"): §2.30 react-don't-author (vision unlocks from reacting to a concrete draft, not answering an open-ended blank-page question; ledger proposes → he reacts → record updates); §3 conversational-intelligence value (system must know his "ultimate purposes" through proactive dialogue; a system that only reports on what it did is half-blind). Two §1 voice samples added (autonomy-grant frame-stacking; self-aware limitation-naming). Sources #33–34 added.
v20 additions (2026-07-08) — Goals/Archive 2026-06-21 (NEW SOURCE — Agents Now Talk First / 3-Shift Ops Redesign day; CEO read the week's charters himself and named the failure: "the way you define wt is live agent and the real automation, is inaccurate… not the agents talk actively through bot, asking quest[ions]"): §2.31 live-agent-architecture standard (a "live agent" SPEAKS FIRST — surfaces diagnosis, asks questions, raises decisions without CEO command; "command agent" waits for CEO input = failure state; grounds §3 "Proactivity is the point" with earlier attested structural critique). Goals/Archive 2026-06-22 (NEW SOURCE — Art Dept Reborn / Ops Director on Live Research day; CEO challenged whether the Art Dept had ever proposed anything unprompted): §2.32 committed-department-artifacts (operating models, cadences, and charters must be committed repo files — not session memory; "after i restart the conversation" is the named failure mode; extends §2.19 mechanism-md to department-level structures); §3 live-research-grounded intelligence (primary-source web research inside a single agent produces better analytical output than multi-model routing or pre-loaded knowledge — led to Gemini being dropped from the Operations Director's analytical role the same day). Three new §1 voice samples. Sources #35–36 added.
v21 additions (2026-07-08) — June 12–14 Goals/Archive source gap, first mine (five new sources #37–41). Six new §1 voice samples: "a creative firm should know the decider thinking and taste… bots all dead without passion to ask daily" (June 12; EARLIEST attestation of proactivity principle — predates June 23 §3 citation); "first tab = on-sale upcoming only; analysis in another tab; UI is a boring draft without promo art" (June 12; EARLIER design-completion attestation + tab-first ruling); "not just the paragraph for ceo to read… its just long paragraph hardly read… at least make sure it makes ceo deciding easier" (June 14 Interactive Decision Cards); "run all the automation gap fixing without my permission untill finished and notify me by bot… to let me understand" (June 14; autonomous + transparency-at-a-distance); "so now I have to run ops_scheduler.py?" (June 12; auto-start expectation diagnostic); "take this task very seriously" (June 14; weight-marker). §2.33 decision-ready presentation (ALL output structured for action, not reading; scan-and-tap not read-and-decide). §2.34 auto-start mandatory (every deployed system starts itself on boot; "so now I have to run X?" = deployment gap). §3 proactivity citation corrected to June 12 (earliest attested). §3 new value: system absorbs the domain research burden ("the owner never opens venue pages himself again" — no residual manual verification within declared scope). §4 tab-first-is-primary-action (first tab = actionable content only; history/analysis on tabs 2+).
v22 additions (2026-07-08) — Goals/Archive June 16–19 batch, first mine (four new sources #42–45). Four new §1 voice samples: "fix it and do better automation before i figure it out" (preemptive-fix demand — §2.36); "i needa to see every project has some updates wt they did for the ultimate goal weekday daily" (purpose-visibility demand); "ultimate purpose define wt degree of workflow will take n wt degree of automation of each project will be" (purpose-is-automation-dial — §2.35); "are they really live, why no new workflow n no relationship line org tab in ops page renewed… i see many agents still dont have a work" (activation≠integration — §2.31 extension). §2.35 purpose-is-automation-dial (the locked North Star IS the automation depth specification; vague purpose = guesswork scope). §2.36 preemptive-fix demand ("before i figure it out" = the SLA; detection lag = audit failure). §2.31 v22 extension (activation≠integration audit checklist: scheduled task + cross-dept relationship + autonomous output — all three required for "truly live").
v23 additions (2026-07-10) — 07-08/07-09 source sweep (sources #46–47). Both days: 0 CEO prompts (294 + 193 autonomous runs respectively — §2.29 autonomy-via-documentation confirmed in two full days of real operation). No new voice samples, thinking patterns, or decision heuristics. §7 extended: the three-item execution carry chain (KAI Video N launch / KA-AI restructure review / invest risk/sell setup) continues through 07-09 — 3+ weeks across W27 + W28 + early W29 without execution on any of the three. A-live's "mirror" mode should now name all three items explicitly and apply §2.21 (decision-debt lens: "which of these three carries the highest daily cost of continuing to defer?"). Also swept and confirmed thin: Goals/Archive 07-08 H1 2026 MM research integration (agent-authored, no CEO voice); Daily Records 07-08/07-09 (autonomous machine logs, 0 CEO prompts).
v24 additions (2026-07-10) — two unmined sources, first mines: Art Direction/Studio/Knowledge/data-viz/cornerstone-data-viz-mini-language.md (NEW SOURCE #48; CEO-adopted product-wide 2026-06-30 via Cornerstone Enact; CEO-ratified named exception 2026-07-04 "Approve as recommended"): §2.37 named-exception-governance (rule integrity via documented exceptions; the exception is named, bounded, CEO-ratified, recorded in the spec itself; silent deviation = shadow drift; extends from design to all agent systems). Art Direction/Studio/Design Language.md deeper re-read (§Type and §Data-viz; v7 only mined §8): §4 no-serif categorical ban ("Space Grotesk only (light 300 / 600). No serif (owner call)." — flat personal ruling; "(owner call)" distinguishes it from a design-system recommendation; consistent with "mono + one accent" restraint applied to type). Source #48 added.
v25 additions (2026-07-10) — Goals/Archive 2026-07-02 Bold Mandate Day (deeper re-read; v1 mined two samples; this pass mines the remaining prompts). Three new §1 voice samples: "dont waste the intro page good graphic… make them inside the page" (§2.16 genesis: July 2 economic commission pre-dates Design Language §8 formal rule by one day); "do u think now already have superp great good aesthetic among the market?" (competitive aesthetic benchmark — always market-comparative, never internal); "make it routine" (earliest-attested commissioning phrase for §2.14 loop-scheduling). §2.16 genesis citation corrected to July 2.
v26 additions (2026-07-10) — four HO NG KONG studio docs (NEW SOURCES #50–53). §2.38 two-system-convergence: parallel development paths serving the same domain are two halves of one planned integration, not rivals — name the convergence point (GDD No-contradiction rule, CEO Q 2026-07-07). §3 IP/data-firewall-proactive: safe path AND forbidden path both named in the research phase before the pipeline ships; "imagery as ANALYSIS input, never shipped assets"; Google Maps/Street View explicitly ruled out (Research Log 2026-07-06). §3 naming-matters deepened: at the limit the premise IS the name — 禾日水巷 is not a label; the character deconstruction IS the literal world state and design architecture (Story doc 2026-07-06). §5 港式溫柔 narrative-tone direction: never dystopian ("the city isn't dying; it's waiting"), wry + a bit homesick, no villain, kindness is structural not a message (Story doc 2026-07-06).
v27 additions (2026-07-11) — source sweep: 07-08 through 07-10 all confirmed 0 CEO prompts (217 autonomous commits on 07-10 alone — longest recorded 0-prompt autonomous stretch since the base computer went live; §2.29 autonomy-via-documentation confirmed in extended practice). No new voice samples, thinking patterns, or values. §7 updated: carry chain now confirmed 4+ weeks (W27→W28→W29→early W30); Daily Review 2026-07-10 confirms same three items still unexecuted — KAI Video N launch / KA-AI restructure review / invest risk/sell setup — alongside maintenance-only completions (MacroMicro read, rent paid); "done maintenance, deferred decisions" is now the 4-week structural split, not a one-off miss. Backbone mirror mode updated to reflect W30 carry chain. Sources #54–55 added.
v28 additions (2026-07-11) — five unmined June 15–17 Goals/Archive files (NEW SOURCES #56–60; first mine of this vein). Five new §1 voice samples: "real problem is when i move to another office… so the first priority of the automation company is the base computer building" (base-computer structural-root-cause framing — #56); "for reporting recording and inspiring" (three-function advisor-conversation framework — #57); "i dt know wt Kaizen block did tdy how can i know wts done… i cant see any thing changed drastically" (background-block legibility failure — #58); "yes add the edit points… but the info wont affect the smoothness of intereactive experience" (approval + feature + performance-constraint triple in one breath — #60); "tutorial updated constantly… need suitbale agent/dept to do it automatically too" (living-command-guide as autonomous responsibility — #58). §2.39 structural-root-cause-first: "real problem is" marks the structural dependency framing; the fix must address that root, not the symptom. §2.31 v28 extension: autonomous-block legibility — a background block that ran without visible evidence of what changed is indistinguishable from not having run. §2.32 v28 extension: living command guide is an autonomous maintenance responsibility, not a one-time write. §3 new value: advisor conversations serve reporting + recording + inspiring — a conversation that only reports is half-done.
v29 additions (2026-07-11) — five auto-archived CEO prompt files from GOALS board, first mine (NEW SOURCES #61–65; June 22 + July 2–3). Five new §1 voice samples from burst register. §2.40 answer-in-place (result IS the message; fire-and-redirect is the failure state — "in the invest bot, better with the messges if the today scanned result"). §2.34 v29 first-class framing ("making it first-class" = auto-start IS the promotion from second-class to first-class system citizenship). §2.4 v29 audit-chain existence extension (audits whether there IS an auditor watching the system, not just whether the system ran — "Does there are auditor to see it n check whether everyday hs scanning/working properly either"). §3 new value: research extends to video transcripts ("watching mm new yt video, by reading the scripts too" — transcript depth = article depth). Sources #61–65 added.
v30 additions (2026-07-11) — June 20–24 archive sweep, first formal close of this vein (NEW SOURCES #66–70). Three new §1 voice samples: bilingual-explanation ("Explain in plain English + 繁體中文 … too many professional things I can't understand" — June 20; establishes bilingual output expectation for technical explanations); IBKR-configuration ("this is ibkr asked, im wondering if it has the auto log off time then will it stop auto trading? if no one set for it manually?" — June 22, with screenshot; configuration-ownership audit + authentic-reference-as-spec extended to diagnostic context); ticket-self-test ("why cant add calender for jason mraz ticket buying reminder by phone?" — June 23; §2.10 cross-device testing in tickets domain, found as real user). §1 new note: bilingual output expectation — technical explanations default to EN + 繁體中文; "too many professional things I can't understand" is the failure state of monolingual technical delivery. §7 carry chain confirmed through July 11 (W28) — unchanged. Sources #69–70 formally closed (June 23 Proactive improvement cycle: CEO intent paraphrased; June 24: 0 CEO prompts). Sources #66–70 added.
v31 additions (2026-07-11) — Goals/Archive 2026-06-26 Quantum Strategy Lab (re-assessment — previously swept in v20 and misclassified as a §2.11 variant; this pass identifies a genuinely distinct pattern). Two new §1 voice samples: decision-attribution correction ("I never said my Quantum trade needs that stock; just purely COIN" — the INOD −$3,343 loss was a CEO manual long, not a bot trade; corrected in two clauses without blame); satisfaction-as-bar ("far more profitable till I'm satisfied with the result" — stopping condition is CEO satisfaction, not a fixed metric; deepens §2.14 + §2.18). §2.41 decision-attribution clarity: in post-mortems, correctly attribute each loss/failure to the decision-maker who made it; form: "I never said X; [the actual instruction was] Y"; distinct from §2.11 (§2.11 = forgotten instruction going forward; §2.41 = misattributed past decision in analysis). Formal closure of June 25 – July 1 source vein: Sources #72–79 assigned (all autonomous-only or agent-authored; no new CEO voice; confirms §2.29 autonomy-via-documentation). Sources #71–79 added.
v32 additions (2026-07-11) — decisions-resolved.json July 7–10 batch sweep (completes the full record through 2026-07-10). One new §1 voice sample: minimal-creative-override ("give another font bolder" — 4 words, full spec, key 65953dc9ff58, Furn-iture favicon; see §2.42). §2.42 minimal-creative-override: in creative correction, the direction is named in minimum possible words and stops; the correction IS the direction; agents implement without seeking further justification; distinct from §2.11 (forgotten standing rule) and §2.33 (output format). All 15 other July 7–10 entries carry empty CEO notes. Source #80 added.
v33 additions (2026-07-12) — §7 structural observation: autonomous-momentum decoupling. Daily Review 2026-07-11 (Source #81, coach-output) formally closes W28: same 3 carry items unexecuted through July 11. During July 7–12 (6-day autonomous-only stretch, 480+ commits, 0 CEO prompt input), the company's machine ran at maximum capacity while the CEO's 3 personal items stayed frozen. New §7 insight: autonomous company success creates a subjective "things are moving" impression that substitutes for personal execution — but these 3 items need the human, not the machine. Mirror mode should surface the decoupling when autonomous gap ≥3 days: "The machine ran [N] days without you. Your 3 carry items need YOU." Also swept and closed: DESIGN-CHANGELOG (July 7 entry already in v32); LIFE-CHARACTER-GAME-DESIGN (polychrome exception in v24); Design Language §Soul/§Rules/§Motion/§Semantic map/§Done of done (no new CEO voice); Life/Week.md + Sports.md (still near-empty templates). Source #81 added.
v34 additions (2026-07-12) — source gap closure + §7 carry-chain confirmation. Daily Review 2026-07-07 (Source #82 — formally numbered; previously referenced as "confirmed thin" but never assigned a source number; closes July 7 gap). Art Direction Proposals: screener-health-strip.md (Source #83) + sepa-gauge-dialect.md (Source #84) — both Art Director outputs, no CEO voice, formally closed. §7 v34 extension: W28 (July 6–12) closes today; CEO's first re-engagement after the 6-day autonomous stretch was this A-live company-project instruction — not execution of any personal carry item. Autonomous-momentum decoupling is now empirically confirmed, not hypothesized. W29 begins July 13; confirmed decision-carry = W27–W28 (2 full weeks); confirmed health-zero = W26–W28 (3 full weeks). Sources #82–84 added.
v35 additions (2026-07-12) — Life/Reviews/Weekly Review 2026-W28 (NEW SOURCE #85; K2D2 coach output; first formal mine). W28 full scores confirmed: sleep 1/5, food 1/5, move 0/5, deep work 1/5, balance 1/5, mood 1/5. Critical new datum: July 19 World Cup exit deadline — coach explicitly named "the World Cup exit window closes July 19 (one week away) and risk/sell parameters still aren't set" — converts "invest risk/sell setup" from an open-ended carry item to a time-bounded financial risk with a hard date; mirror mode re-ranked: invest risk/sell is now item (1) with July 19 as the clock. Also swept and closed: Goals/Archive July 11 (Source #86, autonomous-only), July 12 MM Research (Source #87, pipeline output), decisions-resolved.json July 10–12 batch (Source #88, 0 CEO annotations), LIFE-CHARACTER-GAME-DESIGN data-viz exception (Source #89). Sources #85–89 added.
v36 additions (2026-07-12) — Life/Tdy.md second formal mine (v2 read July 5 version; this pass reads July 12 state). Three new §1 voice samples in CEO shorthand: "set risk and sell for invest" (risk + exit = unified cognitive pair; compressed "and" = both always travel together); "set n launch the kai video" ("n" = AND/THEN; "launch" is the named output gate, not just "publish"); "check the success or not in restructure KA AI" ("success or not" = honest-binary framing; "check" is his interrogation verb for uncertain-outcome personal tasks). New §8 rhythm note: "eat sleep work sports/walk trade" — five-pillar daily mantra, one breath, no hierarchy. §7 v36 confirmation: Tdy.md July 12 has all three carry items in CEO's own handwriting as unchecked personal tasks. W29 begins July 13; July 19 = 7 days away. Source #90 added.
v37 additions (2026-07-12) — Business Strategy/Advancements/2026-07-12 M7 07-14 Deadline Cluster (NEW SOURCE #91 — agent-authored; no CEO voice). Critical §7 update: July 14 Flagship probe (CEO-ONLY, ≤HKD 1,220; gates HKD 15–25k/mo commission lane) surfaces as a second hard deadline that pre-dates the July 19 World Cup window. Two hard dates now in the carry chain: (0) July 14 Flagship probe — CEO-ONLY, 2 days; (1) July 19 invest risk/sell — World Cup exit. Combined daily drift cost if both slip: HKD 1,195–1,528/day. "KA-AI restructure review" IS likely the Flagship probe materialised. Mirror mode reordered to four items. Source #91 added.
v38 additions (2026-07-12) — six Business Strategy/Advancements/2026-07-12 docs swept and closed (NEW SOURCES #92–97 — all agent-authored, 0 CEO voice): M2 Morning Verdict (#92), M3 Quantum Cockpit Gate Recovery (#93), M3 LT Invest Re-Forecast (#94), M5 Vinted Case Study (#95), M6 SH Fee-Structure CEO Lock (#96 — decision routed, not yet tapped), M1 Cost-Profit Ledger v9 (#97). No new voice samples, thinking patterns, values, or heuristics. §7 unchanged — v37 two-deadline state is current. Sources #92–97 added.
v39 additions (2026-07-12) — Life/HO NG KONG/Decisions Log.md sixth re-read (NEW SOURCE #99 — Row 51, 2026-07-12; first CEO-voice entry since v17). CEO verbatim: "make sure the updates shd be on the link of people played but not updating elsewhere" (found testing the game: 電車 uplift committed + announced but absent from kaa-i.com/hongkong). New §1 voice sample. §2.43 delivery-verified-on-the-played-link: commit + changelog ≠ shipped; delivery = visible on the URL real players actually use; "not updating elsewhere" names the gap precisely (commit tree advances, played link stays behind). PLAYED-LINK VISIBILITY MANDATE: gate — RESULT must state where visible + ≥1 default-world evidence capture. Business Strategy/Advancements/2026-07-12 M10 Monetisation Sequencing Refresh (NEW SOURCE #98 — agent-authored, 0 CEO voice; §7 two-deadline carry chain unchanged; formally closed). Sources #98–99 added.
v40 additions (2026-07-12) — two remaining July 12 Business Strategy docs swept and closed (NEW SOURCES #100–101 — both agent-authored, 0 CEO voice): M2 EOD 271-Run Verdict (#100 — 52.4% inclusive PA; four CEO-physical gates confirmed: Ticket XG / Flagship probe / Quantum 30 sessions / LT Invest backfill; Route-B OAuth micro-action ~2 min); M6 Flagship CEO Probe Formally Escalated (#101 — probe now in CEO Decisions inbox via kai_ops.escalate, one CEO tap away; due 07-14; Op expected: factory contact ≤07-17, sample price ≤07-28). No new voice samples, thinking patterns, values, or heuristics. All July 12 sources formally numbered and closed (#91–101). Sources #100–101 added.
v41 additions (2026-07-12) — NEW SOURCE #102: LATER3.md (CEO manual-only hold queue; first formal mine; unprocessed CEO voice). Three new §1 voice samples: platform-fit verdict ("this is good for taktok" — four-word distribution brief, burst register); caption-gap batch-quality check ("these are good but lack of caption, like apple dance one, si it complex to add caption?" — gap named, reference standard cited, complexity gate asked before work assigned); ops-UI liveness demand ("its better a better lively interactive tab that could let me see immediate new projects there, or adhoc assignments there" — live ops view commissioned from his own three-type taxonomy). New §4 taste note: ops UI must be live and interactive — when the operating model has distinct work types, the UI must display real-time state of each without a navigation step (extends §2.32 committed-dept-artifacts to display layer; extends §4 tab-placement gate temporally: correct category + live state = the full standard). Also: "auto lanes + new projects + chatting/adhoc" confirms §8 three-lane taxonomy in CEO's own words; "cats win the world cup, that video, as i said its" extends §2.11. Source #103: Goals/Archive 2026-07-11 India AI Data Center MM Research Integration (FORMALLY CLOSED — agent-authored, 0 CEO voice; closes July 11 Goals/Archive vein). Sources #102–103 added.
v42 TO-DO: mine companion chat ledger (kai.coach.chat.v1) once exported to the repo — richest for private tone & humor; export button shipped, one tap + file drop is the only gate; ledger_ingest.py turns the drop into an agent-readable transcript.
