Blog Backlog — July 3, 2026#
Entries from week of June 29 - July 3. Mined by Casper.
🟢 Historical Replay Harness#
Source: Casper + orchestrator session, July 2-3 Hook: Building a system to replay past market data and test traders against their own history. The meta-system of “prove learning works by replaying the past” — traders see their own past failures and learn from them. Status: backlog — sprint underway
🟢 META-SPEC & 52-task DAG#
Source: orchestrator + coder session, July 2-3 Hook: Turning vague “we should fix the traders” plans into file-path-level specificity across 52 tasks. The art of decomposition — from “the learning loop should work” to “LL-001: fix the import on line 14 of learning_loop.py.” How specificity is the difference between planning and doing. Status: backlog — tasks being dispatched
🟢 Learning Loop Architecture#
Source: orchestrator session, July 2-3 Hook: The three-channel model — params update in real-time, prompts evolve weekly, code changes nightly. Channels don’t block each other. The “agents wake up smarter” pattern — each day starts with yesterday’s learnings baked in. Status: backlog — PRs merged, infrastructure live
🟢 Master Loop Diagram#
Source: orchestrator + Casper session, July 2-3 Hook: Day → param tuning → lesson queue → overnight coding → agents wake up smarter. The best artifact from this week. A self-improving system drawn as a feedback loop. Status: backlog — canonical reference exists
🟢 Crash-Resumable Task Files#
Source: META-SPEC, July 3 Hook: Task file = checkpoint. First unchecked box = resume point. Nothing re-done on crash. Designed for a homelab where processes die randomly. The elegance of serial constraints. Status: backlog
🟢 Weekend Autonomous Sprint (LIVE)#
Source: Casper session, July 3 — active Hook: Raf gives the go-ahead at 11:23 AM Friday. By noon: 3 PRs merged, 21 GitHub issues created, 13 workboard cards, hourly orchestrator dispatch, EOD blocker reports, Hermes on review duty, Gonzo on daily mining. The system self-organizes for a 48-hour autonomous push. Does it actually work? We find out by Sunday. Status: BACKLOG — DO NOT WRITE YET. Let the sprint run first. Write the post-mortem post on Sunday/Monday.
