Summary

Add NOTETAKER_PERSONA and an explicit grounded writing register to the public cognition/substrate entry. Conversation remains the default with unchanged directive bytes. AdaptPersonalityTool uses the renderer's one operator-only list and refuses honesty and emotionality on hosts with and without learning.

Linked issues

Resolves #573, the notetaker writing-register issue opened before implementation, which tracks this API addition.

Type of change

  • Bug fix
  • Feature
  • Performance
  • Documentation
  • Refactor
  • Tests
  • Build or CI

How this was verified

Validation runs only in CI. Renderer, adaptation and public-entry tests were pushed red before implementation and then green. Native Node acceptance imports compiled exports without a source alias. The semantic runner covers every trait and band, the preset and two editable-trait corners; real writing and independent structured judgments cover grounded paraphrases, planted suggestions, changed ownership and reversed conditions. The synthetic output artifact was read against its sources. The keyed run makes 130 judgments: both grounded controls of each fixture once under the preset's section, both planted controls under every one of the 21 profiles for both fixtures, and one generated answer per profile and fixture. Missing credentials or model failures do not pass.

The published-package workflow verifies the actual registry version, gitHead, tag ancestry and tarball integrity, then imports and type-checks the isolated installed package and exercises both host locks before any product pin.

The tested head and its runs are listed at the end.

Migration notes

Set honesty and emotionality in the authored persona definition. Calls that previously adapted these traits without a learning layer now return operator_only before reads, writes, decay or budget use. Editable-trait budgets and learning limits remain unchanged. This behavior change requires a minor release after 0.14.25.

Checklist

  • Tests cover the changed renderer and tool behavior.
  • Docs are updated.
  • The title follows Conventional Commits and names the host behavior change.
  • No secrets or private data are included.
  • Every automated review thread is settled.
  • The public entry, semantic acceptance and final change have been reviewed.

Expected-red runs, each pushed before its implementation:

Final tested head: 2709b20

Full CI and minor-release preview: https://github.com/framerslab/agentos/actions/runs/39535439911

BREAKING CHANGE: adapt_personality now refuses honesty and emotionality with operator_only even when the host has no learning layer. Set these traits in the authored persona definition. Editable-trait budgets and learning-layer step limits are unchanged.

📝 Walkthrough

The changes add a public notetaker writing register, reject honesty and emotionality adaptations on every host, and add semantic acceptance and published-package verification workflows.

Changes: Persona behavior and acceptance

Layer / File(s) Summary
Writing register and public API
src/cognition/substrate/..., scripts/personas-public-entry.acceptance.ts, docs/PERSONAS.md, docs/memory/HEXACO_PERSONALITY.md
The substrate exports the notetaker profile and register-aware renderer. Tests and documentation cover writing and conversation rendering.
Operator-only adaptation rules
src/cognition/emergent/AdaptPersonalityTool.ts, src/cognition/emergent/__tests__/*, src/api/..., scripts/personas/published-lock.acceptance.ts, docs/...
AdaptPersonalityTool rejects honesty and emotionality before personality reads or mutations on every host. Learning-layer step and call limits remain.
Grounded-writing semantic acceptance
scripts/personas/{grounding-fixtures.ts,semantic.ts,run-semantic.ts,semantic.acceptance.ts}
The acceptance utility evaluates generated answers and controls against grounding fixtures across writing profiles. It records judgments and fails on invalid or failed cases.
Pull request validation workflows
.github/workflows/personas.yml, .github/workflows/personas-semantic.yml, CONTRIBUTING.md
The workflows build and check the package, run labeled semantic acceptance, and upload evidence.
Published package verification
.github/workflows/personas-published.yml, scripts/personas/verify-release.ts, docs/getting-started/RELEASING.md
The release verifier checks registry metadata, tag ancestry, tarball origin, and integrity. The workflow tests the package in an isolated consumer and uploads a release manifest.

Explanation

Issue #573 requirements are implemented. NOTETAKER_PERSONA provides the HEXACO preset. PersonalityRegister supports writing, and renderPersonalitySection keeps conversation as the default. Writing mode adds grounding directives. The public substrate entry exports the preset, renderer, band type, register type, operator-only traits, trait keys, normalizer, and persona type. AdaptPersonalityTool uses the shared operator-only list and rejects honesty and emotionality before personality reads, mutation, decay, or budget use. Tests and semantic acceptance cover the renderer, public exports, host behavior, and grounded writing. Documentation includes migration notes and the minor-release requirement.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changes remain within Issue #573.

Reviewer's Guide

The PR adds an opt-in grounded writing register and notetaker HEXACO preset while preserving default conversation rendering, and enforces honesty/emotionality as authored-only traits before any adaptation side effects on both layered and unlayered hosts.

Assessment against linked issues

Issue Objective Addressed Explanation
#573 Add a notetaker HEXACO preset and a grounded writing register to the personality renderer, while preserving default conversation output. ✅
#573 Export the preset, renderer, band type, shared operator-only trait list, trait keys, and normalizer from the public cognition/substrate entry. ❌ The diff adds the preset and renderer functionality, but includes no changes to a public cognition/substrate entry exporting the requested API.
#573 Refuse honesty and emotionality adaptations on every host, and provide the required migration notes, minor-release notes, and semantic acceptance for grounded writing. ❌ The tool now refuses those adaptations on every host, and the documentation describes the behavior. However, the PR explicitly says release notes and semantic acceptance are still required, and the diff does not include them.

@jddunn jddunn added the breaking-approved A maintainer approved the breaking change in this pull request label Oct 20, 2026
jddunn added 13 commits October 20, 2026 02:42
…ithout learning

The runtime's end-to-end case for the self-modification tools still said adapt_personality acts as before when the learning flag is off. Pin the operator_only refusal a model's call gets there for both authored traits, and correct the file's description.
…omments

Replacing the dashes left stray commas, doubled spaces and a trailing space in the module and trait descriptions. Comments only.
The keyed runner was compiled only inside the labelled semantic job, and
without --strict; the published-lock probe only in the dispatched
post-release workflow; the release verifier nowhere, since it runs with
type stripping. The deterministic Personas job now compiles all three in
its strict declaration check, on every pull request push and on master,
and the semantic job's own check passes --strict as well.
@jddunn jddunn added the personas-semantic Run the keyed grounded writing acceptance label Oct 20, 2026
…ates it

The first grounded control of the conditional-invoice fixture called the sending deadline unknown where the source says no deadline was agreed, a changed certainty the judge rightly rejected. Both accepted controls now restate the source's certainty: the payment's arrival date is unknown, and no sending deadline has been agreed.
… log

The summary recorded only the error's name, so a failed acceptance read as Error with nothing on stdout; the summary and the step log now carry the message, which names the profile, fixture and case.
One attempt a call let any transient 503 among the run's roughly 250 calls fail the whole acceptance: run 39486114606 died at the fourteenth judgment on HTTP 503 Service Unavailable. Three attempts retry transient provider errors only, under the same spend cap; a judged failure is still final.
The malformed-judgment case answered every judgment with the malformed reply,
so its first call, a grounded control, failed whatever the runner made of the
reply: the case passed for a runner that read a malformed reply as a rejection,
and for one that read it as an acceptance. The judge now answers the grounded
controls and the generated answers with valid verdicts and gives the malformed
reply to the planted controls only, and the run must stop on the reply itself
rather than on a judged verdict.
… second control

The second grounded control of the unowned-review fixture asked who will own the
security review without saying the review is still needed, one of the fixture's
required meanings, so a judge that reads completeness strictly could refuse the
control and stop the run. The control now states it, as the first one does.
…grounded controls

The judge rejected the second grounded control of the unowned-review fixture as incomplete because it never says the security review is still needed, which the fixture's required list demands, after passing it three times before. Both grounded controls now state each required meaning in the source's own words, so the controls no longer sit at the judge's margin.
… feat/notetaker-personality

Both grounded controls of the unowned-review fixture keep the wording that states every required meaning; the review's second-control wording is superseded by it.
…s instructions

Under the brief band the writer rendered Dana's stated plan to send the invoice after payment as the bullet 'Send the invoice only after payment arrives', and the judge rejected the directive as a changed obligation (run 39488943223, conscientiousness:low, after 88 passing judgments). The writer task now asks for plans and commitments as what was said will happen, never as instructions to the reader; the task stays the same for every profile.
…p the planted controls declarative

The product's pack prompt asks for next steps written as the step itself, and the judge refused that form at random (runs 39486114606 and 39487714279). The rubric now says a plan or commitment the source states may be written as the step, keeping its meaning unless its actor, condition or certainty changes. The invoice fixture's planted controls open declaratively like its grounded controls, so a refusal names the planted change and never the mood.
…hed-package dispatch

RELEASING.md documented only the breaking-approved label. It now says what the personas-semantic label runs and pays for, that a push or label change restarts that run, that the job is read rather than required, and that personas-published.yml is dispatched after a release with the version and the merge; CONTRIBUTING.md's cancellation sentence names the keyed run.

High-Level Assessment

The following are alternative approaches to this PR:

1. Put writing instructions only in the notetaker preset
  • ➕ Smaller renderer API change.
  • ➖ Cannot provide grounded, band-specific writing directives to other personas.
  • ➖ Mixes host-selected writing context with authored traits.
2. Enforce trait locks in each host
  • ➕ Avoids changing the adaptation tool's behavior for existing callers.
  • ➖ Leaves direct tool callers able to mutate authored traits.
  • ➖ Duplicates policy across hosts with and without learning.

Recommendation: Keep the explicit renderer register and tool-level lock. Conversation remains the default, writing is reusable across personas, and direct adaptation calls cannot bypass the shared authored-trait policy. Document the no-learning behavior change for consumers.

Action required

1. Later pull request code can read the API key 🐞 Bug ⛨ Security
Description
The semantic workflow gives OPENAI_API_KEY to a step that executes code checked out from the pull
request head, while its label gate does not bind approval to a particular commit. After the label is
applied to a same-repository pull request, a subsequent push triggers synchronize and runs the new
head with the key, including any changed script or imports.
Code

.github/workflows/personas-semantic.yml[R45-48]

+          OPENAI_API_KEY: ${{ secrets.OPENAI_API_KEY }}
+          PERSONAS_COMMIT: ${{ github.event.pull_request.head.sha }}
+          PERSONAS_REPORT_DIR: ${{ runner.temp }}/personas-semantic
+        run: node --experimental-strip-types scripts/personas/run-semantic.ts
Evidence
The workflow listens for synchronize, retains the label-based condition, checks out the event's
head SHA, and runs a script from that checkout with the repository secret in its environment.

Remediation recommended

2. Patch releases can pass as minor ✓ Resolved
Description
verify-release.ts checks only major > 0 || minor > 13 and names 0.13.165 in its assertion
message, without checking whether the patch component is zero or using the documented 0.14.25
baseline. A 0.14.26 patch release containing the merge commit can therefore pass the
published-package checks and be written as the consumer pin in release.json, despite the migration
notes requiring a subsequent minor release.
Code

scripts/personas/verify-release.ts[R13-14]

+const [major, minor] = version.split('.').map(Number);
+assert.ok(major! > 0 || minor! > 13, 'a new minor after 0.13.165 is required');
Evidence
Lines 13–14 accept versions with a minor number above 13 without inspecting the patch component.
Lines 26–27 check that the tag matches the registry gitHead and that the release contains the
merge commit; neither excludes a 0.14.x patch release. The migration notes specify that this
behavior change requires a minor release after 0.14.25.

Release and validate the host behavior change

scripts/personas/verify-release.ts[10-27]

Agent prompt
The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

## Issue description
The release verifier accepts 0.14.x patch releases for a behavior change whose migration notes require a minor release after 0.14.25. Its assertion message also names the older 0.13.165 baseline.
## Fix Focus Areas
- scripts/personas/verify-release.ts[13-14]
## Recommended Fix
Parse the patch component and require a new minor release after the documented 0.14.25 baseline, for example by requiring `major > 0 || minor > 14` together with `patch === 0`, or by reading the release floor from an input. Update the assertion message to match the baseline, and leave the existing registry, tag ancestry, and tarball checks unchanged.

3. A modified trait list disables the lock ✓ Resolved
Description
AdaptPersonalityTool now checks the same runtime-mutable OPERATOR_ONLY_TRAITS array exposed by
the public substrate entry rather than its former private list. If in-process consumer code removes
a name from that array, calls for that authored trait pass the new refusal check; role overlays also
stop dropping it.
Code

src/cognition/emergent/AdaptPersonalityTool.ts[R315-316]

+    if (OPERATOR_ONLY_TRAITS.includes(trait as HEXACOTrait)) {
+      return refusedSelfChange(this.name, 'operator_only', `only the persona definition sets ${trait}`);
Evidence
The array is not frozen, the PR exports it and makes the tool check it, and the existing overlay
guard reads the same reference. This requires in-process code with access to the export; tool-call
input alone cannot mutate it.

src/cognition/substrate/personas/personalityPrompt.ts[24-26]
src/cognition/substrate/index.ts[15-22]
src/cognition/emergent/AdaptPersonalityTool.ts[314-317]
src/cognition/substrate/personas/personalityPrompt.ts[175-183]

Agent prompt
The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

## Issue description
The tool's authored-trait refusal and the overlay guard depend on a shared array that is readonly only in TypeScript, not at runtime.
## Fix Focus Areas
- src/cognition/substrate/personas/personalityPrompt.ts[24-26]
- src/cognition/emergent/AdaptPersonalityTool.ts[314-317]
## Recommended Fix
Freeze the shared array at its definition so consumers cannot change either guard through its exported reference. Add a runtime test that attempts mutation and verifies both traits remain refused.

4. Invalid writing options lose grounding ✓ Resolved
Description
renderPersonalitySection treats every runtime register value other than the exact string
'writing' as conversation and omits WRITING_GROUNDING without reporting an invalid option. A
JavaScript host passing a misspelled or unvalidated writing register therefore receives conversation
directives, which can encourage suggestions rather than constrain the output to source material.
Code

src/cognition/substrate/personas/personalityPrompt.ts[R130-131]

+  const writing = options.register === 'writing';
+  const directives = writing ? WRITING_DIRECTIVES : DIRECTIVES;
Evidence
The new union type has no runtime enforcement. The equality check selects conversation for any other
value, and only the writing branch prepends the grounding rule; the conversation directives include
proactive suggestions.

src/cognition/substrate/personas/personalityPrompt.ts[13-14]
src/cognition/substrate/personas/personalityPrompt.ts[125-140]
src/cognition/substrate/personas/personalityPrompt.ts[43-45]

Agent prompt
The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

## Issue description
An invalid explicit register silently selects conversation and drops the writing grounding directive.
## Fix Focus Areas
- src/cognition/substrate/personas/personalityPrompt.ts[125-138]
## Recommended Fix
Keep an omitted register as conversation, but reject any explicitly supplied value other than `conversation` or `writing` at runtime. Test an invalid value from a JavaScript-style call.

🟡 Minor · Fix the stale no-layer refusal statement in the Learning overview. · GMI.md:256

docs/GMI.md:256
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Fix the stale no-layer refusal statement in the Learning overview.

Line 256 says that with no layer "the self-modification tools refuse only under the process freeze". This PR changes that behavior. AdaptPersonalityTool.execute now refuses honesty and emotionality with operator_only on every host. Line 311 in this file now says the same thing. As a result, the same page gives two different rules for hosts without a layer. Hosts that are migrating will read line 256 first.

📝 Proposed fix
-... the persona base prompt of `gmi()` carries it, and the self-modification tools refuse only under the process freeze ([Modes and the process switches](#modes-and-the-process-switches)).
+... the persona base prompt of `gmi()` carries it, and the self-modification tools refuse only under the process freeze ([Modes and the process switches](#modes-and-the-process-switches)), except that `adapt_personality` always refuses `honesty` and `emotionality` (`operator_only`).

- Line 26: Update the cancellation description in the CONTRIBUTING guidance so
keyed persona acceptance is described as canceling only when a label is added
while personas-semantic is active; separate this from the breaking-change gate’s
edit or label-change behavior and preserve the statements about newer pushes,
newest runs, and re-runs.

Review comments at @scripts/personas/run-semantic.ts:
- Line 62: Extend the call-level abort deadline used by both semantic calls so
it covers all configured retry attempts plus a safety buffer, instead of
limiting the entire operation to one request timeout. Define the deadline from
common.maxAttempts and common.requestTimeout, then use it for each abortSignal
while preserving the per-attempt requestTimeout behavior.

- Line 14: Update the release-version assertion in the verification flow to
require a version at least 0.15.0 by changing the minor threshold from 13 to 14,
and update its message to reference 0.14.25.

…rency group

The keyed run keyed every attempt by the pull request with cancel-in-progress on, so re-running an older commit's attempt while the final head's run was going cancelled that run after its model calls had been paid for. A first attempt now keeps the pull request's group and cancels the run it supersedes; a re-run keys its own run id and cancels nothing, as personas.yml and the other pull request workflows already do.
…ift its guards

AdaptPersonalityTool's refusal and the role-overlay rule both read OPERATOR_ONLY_TRAITS, which the public substrate entry exports. Its readonly type binds TypeScript callers only, so a JavaScript caller could run OPERATOR_ONLY_TRAITS.splice(0) and both guards would then let honesty and emotionality change. The array is now frozen at its definition, with the same public type. A test tries splice and push on the exported list, sees both throw and the list unchanged, and checks that both traits are still refused with operator_only on a host with and without a learning layer and still dropped from an overlay patch. The personas guide says the list is frozen.
verify-release.ts accepted any version above 0.13, so a 0.14.x patch that held the persona merge (a release whose breaking marker was lost on merge) passed the registry and tarball checks and became the consumer pin, and its message still named 0.13.165. The check now requires a new minor after the 0.14 line, 0.15.0 or later, and says so; the registry, tag ancestry and tarball checks are unchanged. A test runs the script as the dispatched workflow does, with every registry read answered 404 so it stays offline: 0.13.165 and 0.14.25 to 0.14.27 stop at the version check before the registry is read, and 0.15.0, 0.15.4 and 1.0.0 pass it and stop at the registry check. RELEASING.md names the floor, and the Personas step that runs the test names both checks.
…or writing

renderPersonalitySection treated every register but the exact string 'writing' as conversation, so a JavaScript host that passed a misspelled or unchecked register got the conversation directives, which offer suggestions, and lost the grounding rule that keeps written output to its material, with nothing reported. A register left out still renders conversation, byte for byte as before; any other value now throws a TypeError naming it, before the traits are read. The writing-register tests pass bad values as a JavaScript caller would, and the personas guide states the refusal.
…ers every attempt

Each writer and judge call took three attempts of up to 120 seconds each, but also an abort signal of 120 seconds for the whole call, and an abort ends a call with no further retry. A first attempt that timed out aborted the call at the same moment, and one that failed with a 5xx after about 110 seconds left its retry ten. Both calls now share one deadline of maxAttempts times requestTimeout plus 30 seconds for the waits between attempts, and requestTimeout still bounds each attempt.
personas-semantic.yml starts on opened, synchronize, reopened and labeled, so an edit or a removed label starts no run and cancels nothing; only a push or an added label restarts the keyed run. CONTRIBUTING.md said an edit or any label change did, and RELEASING.md said any label change did. Both now name a push or an added label, and CONTRIBUTING.md keeps the breaking-change gate's edits and label changes apart from it.

The outside-diff comment in CodeRabbit's review of f065709 (.github/workflows/personas-semantic.yml lines 41 to 59, the key reaching pull request code) raises the point answered in #576 (comment): no change, for the reasons given there.

…ed by nothing

The keyed workflow gives a re-run its own concurrency group with cancel-in-progress off, so a new push or label cancels only another first attempt while an older re-run runs on and spends a run's budget; the release instructions now say so.

🟡 Minor · Correct the pending-rerun guarantee. · RELEASING.md:39

docs/getting-started/RELEASING.md:39
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Correct the pending-rerun guarantee.

Reruns use the github.run_id concurrency group. A running rerun is not canceled, but GitHub replaces an older pending rerun when a newer pending rerun enters the same group. The current text can make operators expect every queued rerun to execute.

Suggested fix
-The `personas-semantic` label runs [`personas-semantic.yml`](https://github.com/framerslab/agentos/blob/master/.github/workflows/personas-semantic.yml): the grounded-writing acceptance against real models (the writer `gpt-6.1-sol`, the judge `gpt-6-luna`), paid through the repository secret `OPENAI_API_KEY` and capped at 10 USD a run. Add the label once the branch is final: while it is on, any push, added label or branch update on the pull request restarts the run (its concurrency group cancels the unfinished first attempt; a re-run keys a group of its own, cancels nothing and is cancelled by nothing, so re-running an older commit's run spends a run's budget of its own), so read the run and its `personas-semantic-<sha>` artifact (`summary.json` and `records.jsonl`) on the final head before marking the pull request ready. The job is not a required check; a maintainer reads it.

On the outside-diff note about the re-run wording in RELEASING.md line 39: the sentence covers the case the resolved thread raised, a re-run beside a newer push, and it is right that a running re-run is cancelled by nothing. The corner it leaves out is two pending re-runs of the same run, where GitHub keeps only the newer pending one. That wording lands in a docs pull request right after this merge, because any push to this branch restarts the paid keyed acceptance.
