g4borg e51520723c 🤖 Rewrite implementation skill and Athanor for lean building
The implementation skill now states the lean loop: attack the plan
against the code before building, build phases in blocks with a cheap
gate between them, test and review once per phase, one fix pass, stop.
Harness mechanics, model observations and the run-log template move to
references with dated, sourced claims.

The Athanor becomes a build furnace pinned to claude-opus-5-5: one phase
per turn, no planning, no plan attack, no self-review. It no longer
preloads superpowers; those skills stay available as tools.

Run log and handoff notes

The run log is the record of a build: one file per build plan, in the workpad's reports/ folder (name it per the workpad skill, e.g. <YYYY-MM-DD-hh>-<slug>-run.md). Each phase appends to it. The phase reviewer reads it; a successor Athanor starts from it.

Rules:

  • Take every time from date when you write it. Never estimate or count forward by feel.
  • Durations in summaries come from git commit times.
  • Stamp the exact model id from your system prompt. If you dispatched an agent and its id is unknown, write "unknown", not a guess.
  • Totals stay provisional until the phase review, fix pass and re-check have closed.

Header

# Run log — <plan title>

- Plan: <path>  ·  Build plan: <path>
- Branch: <branch>  ·  Start commit: <hash>
- Trunk notes: <path or "none">
- Athanor: <model id>  ·  Session journal: <path>

Per phase

## Phase <N> — <title>

| Block | Owner (model id) | Start | End | Commit | Tokens (if known) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|

Handoff note (one per block, written by the block's owner)

### Block <N.M> — <title>

- Model: <exact id>
- Start / end: <`date` output> / <`date` output>
- Done: <what changed, in a few lines>
- Deviations from plan: <what, and why> — or "none"
- Flagged for review: <anything the reviewer should look at, e.g. a semantic you were unsure of>
- Left for later: <work deferred to a later block or phase>
- Expected broken: <areas that do not build or pass yet, and which block fixes them>
- Commits: <hashes>

Phase close (written by the Athanor)

### Phase <N> close

- Gate: <command> — <result>
- Tests: <command> — <result> (fallout fixed in block <N.M>)
- Flags for the reviewer: every deviation and every "flagged for review" line above, one per bullet, with its block.
- Not run / untested: <anything the tests do not cover>
- Status: provisional until review, fix pass and re-check close.

After the review, Igor (or the fixer) appends the review report path, the fix-pass commits, the re-check result, and the minors logged as follow-ups.

Trunk notes (optional, written at intake)

Short, for the next agent that has not read the code: key files and seams, invariants the phase touches, every consumer of a changed semantic, the gate command, known traps. A page, not a design document.
