The original 2026-10-24 report stopped at an unapproved connector request. On 2026-10-27, Passport reports memory open, GitHub (private repos) linked, and an existing permanent pass for this app to read github-private / projects.items. Successful reads verify that access now works. No new grant, reconnect or settings change was required; the time the pass was approved is unknown.
The 14 conversation entries, archive flags, conclusions, next actions and local checkout snapshots below retain the original 2026-10-24 baseline. They were not reread for 2026-10-27. Use the separate Passport refresh for returned issue/PR states; reconcile historical next actions before resuming work.
These are bounded keyword-search results (up to 50 rows per query), filtered to the six report repositories and deduplicated by source URL. Some searches returned cross-repository matches and two repo-qualified searches returned no matches. Coverage is not exhaustive. Only titles, source URLs and open/closed states were returned: closed does not establish merged, and draft status, exact head, CI, reviews, releases and tags remain unverified by this refresh.
This is a local configuration work stream with no GitHub repository inventory in scope.
Mission
Keep local agent delegation explicit about model, effort and bounded recovery from stalls.
Current milestone
The conversation updated ~/.codex/AGENTS.md with explicit model/effort selection and bounded stall-recovery rules. This was local configuration work with no GitHub repository or branch.
Next slice
Apply the recorded delegation policy when an authorized task calls for agents. No further implementation was left in the closing response.

Scope and definitions. This report covers 2026-10-17 through 2026-10-24 in America/New_York (EDT). The overall report contains 14 root user-facing threads; subagent and review threads are folded into their parents. ACTIVE / ARCHIVED describes thread-store state, not project status. A thread is marked concluded according to its last assistant response; a review or blocker handoff may conclude without completing the project.
Local branch, head and worktree details are a point-in-time snapshot. Conversation evidence, local state and live GitHub status are separate; this page does not infer one from another.
