What it is
The Log turns every run into a record. Self-improvement learns from it, for every process that writes the Log, not only Vinaya.
- 1
The Improver reads the Log
A harness agent, the Improver, reads the Log across many runs and finds patterns: where rounds are lost, which gate catches most, what a task costs.
- 2
It proposes a change
Each pattern becomes a proposal: a change to instructions, gates, settings or roles.
- 3
The Principal approves
An approved change becomes a new process version. Runs already in progress keep the version they started with.
What the record answers
Ten questions, plus a confidence comparison, counted by Telemetry from the Log:
- Does a cheaper model finish?
- Are reviewers strict?
- What does a unit of work cost?
- Where does the time go?
- Does the product catch anything?
- Which check catches most?
- Are checks deterministic?
- Which findings recur?
- Is the instruction version the problem?
- What change size converges?
The confidence comparison: does stated confidence predict the review outcome?
