COMMON DEVELOPMENT QUEUE · RP07

Work on what makes later work trustworthy.

38 linked questions translate every DEV-001 through DEV-084 backlog item into a productive starting point. Priority follows dependency—not popularity or novelty.

PROFESSIONAL ACUMEN IN PRACTICE

Useful contribution is observable behavior.

Challenge precisely. Name the claim, evidence, assumption, or method you dispute. Criticism becomes useful when another person can test it.

Make work recoverable. Record sources, decisions, failures, conflicts, and the smallest next action. Do not hide uncertainty to appear certain.

Repair destructive behavior. If an action would erase evidence, attack a person, manipulate results, or create harm, stop it and convert the energy into a safe replication, null test, contradiction record, or restoration task.

Recognize without patronizing. Credit the specific improvement and why it matters. Avoid exaggerated praise; offer the next level of responsibility when the work supports it.

01

STAGE 01

Protect recoverability first

Make later findings auditable before creating more of them.

4 questions

Gate: Do not advance an evidence-dependent task when its source, lineage, or status cannot be recovered.

1.01Critical

RQ-001 · covers DEV-001, DEV-004, DEV-005, DEV-010

Can every current result be recovered from exact parent archives without silently changing prior evidence?

A conclusion that cannot be traced to the exact material that produced it cannot safely guide the common model.

Useful output
A recovery audit listing exact, external-required, and summary-only evidence, with missing items and repair actions.
Boundary

Load guided prompt
1.02Critical

RQ-002 · covers DEV-002, DEV-003

Is the external raw 1995 archive still available, byte-identical, and sufficient to reproduce the seven-file Atlas?

The reconstructed pipeline is useful only while its registered source identity and reproduction conditions remain verifiable.

Useful output
A read-only asset check and a reproduction plan that distinguishes recovered behavior from unrecovered original source behavior.
Boundary
Do not substitute a similar archive or claim that reconstructed code is the lost original code.
Load guided prompt
1.03Critical

RQ-003 · covers DEV-007, DEV-008, DEV-009

Can citation, completeness, and change-impact checks be made machine-enforceable without erasing legitimate disagreement?

Manual continuity records exist, but future growth increases the chance that a claim, conflict, or unfinished branch disappears.

Useful output
A schema and dry-run audit that flags unresolved citations, vanished work, unpropagated impacts, and incompatible status labels.
Boundary
Automation may identify inconsistencies; it may not force agreement by overwriting source evidence.
Load guided prompt
1.04Critical

RQ-004 · covers DEV-006

Does the hardened Pre-Crypto laboratory remain deterministic, portable, and interruption-safe outside its fixture environment?

RP07 passed 27 fixture tests, but production authorization, alternate environments, and the blocked Parquet path remain separate questions.

10 questions

Gate: 1996 remains unopened until scorer behavior, commitments, nulls, multiplicity, and authorization are frozen.

2.01Critical

RQ-005 · covers DEV-011

Boundary
Use synthetic fixtures only; do not inspect, summarize, or infer from 1996 data.
Load guided prompt
2.02Critical

RQ-006 · covers DEV-012, DEV-013

Once opened, a year can never again count as blind evidence.

Useful output
A production unlock protocol for 1996–2005 with commitment binding, intent/state/commit reconciliation, and abort behavior.
Boundary
A fixture transition is not authorization to unlock real data.
Load guided prompt
2.03Critical

RQ-007 · covers DEV-014, DEV-015, DEV-016

Load guided prompt
2.06Critical

RQ-010 · covers DEV-020, DEV-021, DEV-028

What escalation rule should determine whether a candidate survives progressively less-destructive null worlds?

Rejecting a destructive permutation null does not distinguish recurrence from ordinary temporal or structural dependence.

Useful output
An ordered null ladder beginning with preserved frozen nulls and adding block-preserving and within-day alternatives.
Boundary
Failure under a stronger null is a result, not a reason to redefine the candidate.
Load guided prompt
2.07Critical

RQ-011 · covers DEV-022 through DEV-027

Which structural properties must each new null preserve to test ordinary explanations fairly?

Actor frequency, country frequency, event category, source order, intensity, missingness topology, network degree, clustering, and autocorrelation can all create apparent organization.

RQ-013 · covers DEV-031

How should the pooled-entropy and mean-side-entropy branches be compared without retrospectively selecting the better result?

Both deterministic branches run on 1995, but the historical intent does not uniquely choose between them.

Load guided prompt
2.10High

RQ-014 · covers DEV-034, DEV-035

How should the incomplete 524-event segment and representation-loss ledgers be preserved without contaminating frozen scoring?

Load guided prompt
4.04High

RQ-026 · covers DEV-064, DEV-065

How can distinct dependency types and unresolved multiplicity remain explicit mathematical content?

Different formulas or labels do not establish independence, and forced singular answers can erase valid alternatives.
