Approve pending local project actions from 2026-08-26

Approved and durably routed the three verified, still-pending, non-destructive project gates from 2026-08-26; preserved completed, superseded, already-approved, destructive, and hard-stopped work without silently resuming it.

Scope

• Host: rdmsm4x
• Review date: 2026-08-27 America/New_York
• Pending-action date: 2026-08-26 America/New_York
• Scope reviewed: open local Codex project tasks associated with /Users/richh/dev

Approvals recorded

1. LiteLLM, task 01a04062-ed77-75a1-86a0-3962ecd97a74
   • Approved the recommended reversible, loopback-only design/specification and canary path.
   • Included metadata-only reporting, stated budget caps, and the recommended 90-day key-rotation policy.
   • Did not authorize credential use, key creation or rotation on the owner's behalf, public exposure, purchases or subscription changes, destructive/security-gate bypasses, or external communications.
2. Buzz, task 01a04066-b41e-7a80-ba4c-e6eb8e266d5d
   • Approved only the bounded private/Tailscale-only design specification and its commit-for-review gate.
   • Preserved Tyrell, RD Workbench, and agent_msg; retained the five-reachable-host scope with rdmpw3265m pending; kept cloud ACP agents disabled.
   • Did not authorize deployment, identity/key creation, persistent access, network/security changes, spending, public exposure, raw-history ingestion, or external communications.
3. Arista Stencils, task 01a040d8-7388-7373-b191-3bec1be9345f
   • Approved the proposed bounded initialization in an isolated branch/worktree, including documented stale-path repairs, project state files, and the full validation gate.
   • Required PLAN (1).md to remain physically unchanged while its BNY provenance is recorded and routed, and required the old Documents recovery copy to remain intact.
   • Did not authorize pushing, publishing, deleting recovery material, modifying immutable source artifacts, or moving cross-project material. A local-main fast-forward remains conditional on all stated validation passing.

Exclusions preserved

• Mem0 and _nocontext already had owner approvals recorded; no duplicate approval was sent.
• Mem0, Ollama, and OpenRouter had later explicit hard-stop or stop receipts; approval was not treated as authority to resume them.
• ScanRoo consolidation was already completed by its owning task.
• Older _nocontext, Buzz, and Amagansett prompts were stale, superseded, or contained a separate destructive/security-sensitive gate; they were not reactivated.
• No deletion, credential use, purchase, public launch, network exposure, third-party communication, or security-policy change was approved.

Exact local state and files touched

• No project source file, configuration, service, deployment, identity, key, or repository ref was changed by this approval sweep.
• Codex recorded the approval follow-ups in these destination rollout files:
  • /Users/richh/.codex/sessions/2026/08/26/rollout-2026-08-26T19-23-40-01a04062-ed77-75a1-86a0-3962ecd97a74.jsonl
  • /Users/richh/.codex/sessions/2026/08/26/rollout-2026-08-26T19-27-47-01a04066-b41e-7a80-ba4c-e6eb8e266d5d.jsonl
  • /Users/richh/.codex/sessions/2026/08/26/rollout-2026-08-26T21-32-02-01a040d8-7388-7373-b191-3bec1be9345f.jsonl
• This durable changelog was added:
  • /Users/richh/dev/LLM/Claude/changelogs/rdmsm4x-changelog-20260827-0432-approve-pending-project-actions.md

Commands and task operations

• Resolved the executing host with scutil --get ComputerName.
• Read the fleet coordination policy and fleet inventory before acting.
• Inventoried open local project tasks and read the relevant destination histories.
• Sent one bounded approval follow-up to each of the three destination task IDs above.
• Used exact fixed-string searches against each destination rollout to verify that each approval text was written to the destination task's own durable history.
• Took a bounded status snapshot of all three destination tasks.
• Filed this changelog through /Users/richh/scripts/notes_changelog.zsh when Apple Notes was available in the Aqua session.

Verification evidence

• Host resolved as rdmsm4x.
• All three destination tasks accepted the follow-up dispatch and are active.
• Exact approval text was found in all three destination rollout files.
• Destination task state at the end of the sweep is approved and received; implementation in progress, not completed.
• No secret value was copied into this record.

Backups and undo

• No backup was required because this sweep did not edit project files or mutate services.
• To withdraw an approval before its destination task completes, send that task an explicit superseding stop/withdrawal message. Any implementation changes already made by a destination task must be rolled back using that project's own recorded before/after evidence and acceptance gates.

Outstanding owner actions

• The exposed OpenRouter credential remains invalid for use and must be revoked/replaced through the provider's secure interface before LiteLLM can use it. No value is recorded here.
• Buzz deployment and all identity, key, network, fleet-rollout, or spending decisions remain separate approval gates.
• The destination tasks must complete their own implementation, validation, project-record updates, and per-change changelogs before claiming completion.
