Needs Houston(5 truly-blocked items — agents cannot proceed without you)

Everything else on the site is autonomous and being driven by agents. This block lists ONLY items that require Houston-only authority: personal sign-off, API/SSH credentials, arXiv endorsement, or something physical only you can provide.

  • OpenRouter $50/week per-key cap exhausted (HTTP 403) — workspace credit healthy
    gates all

    Why blocked:Live `/api/v1/key` readback (2026-05-22): per-key weekly cap = $50; weekly usage = $52.48 (over by $2.48); limit_remaining = $0. Workspace credit healthy: $83.47 remaining of $600 total. This is a per-key throttle, NOT a credit-exhausted state. Agents cannot edit key caps.

    Ask:At https://openrouter.ai/settings/keys → edit `sk-or-v1-c25...cbf` → raise the $50/week `limit` field to $200/week or remove it (workspace credit gates spend then). Alternatively rotate the key: generate a new key with no weekly cap and paste it into `bigbounce/.env.local` as OPENROUTER_API_KEY=... Cron will pick it up next fire automatically.

  • Personal sign-off on P1A v1A.0.34 for arXiv submission
    gates P1A

    Why blocked:P1A satisfies AGENT_RULES §4.4.1 cascaded-loop exit — 10th-consecutive Gemini-cosmology effective 0-BLOCKER on paper content (R23 BLOCKER was a prompt-meta error, audit-falsified) AND 3rd-consecutive 5-vendor clean round on content (R15+R16+R23 all 0/0 across DeepSeek + Gemini + GPT-5 + Grok + Perplexity). v1A.0.34 closed R23 Gemini M1+m1+n1 text-level findings + 3 pre-existing undef refs. The final 1% (90→100) is reserved for Houston-only judgment per feedback_99_pct_readiness_cap. No agent can flip this.

    Ask:Read arxiv/paper1a_ech_nogo.tex (or the live PDF at https://bigbounce.hubify.app/papers/spin_torsion_paper1.pdf) end-to-end and reply 'sign off P1A' if ready, or send back blocking findings. After sign-off I build the arXiv tarball + smoke-test + (with arXiv endorsement) submit.

  • Personal sign-off on P4 v1.0.123 for arXiv submission
    gates P4

    Why blocked:R22 5-vendor returned 3 of 5 reviewers 0/0 (DeepSeek + Gemini + Grok). GPT-5 + Perplexity findings closed bundled in v1.0.122; v1.0.123 closes the Houston-shared 3-reviewer external review (ChatGPT MAJOR + Grok MINOR + Gemini MAJOR) in a single bundled hard-fix wave (9 BLOCKER + 10 MAJOR audited and closed/falsified). R23+R24+R25 cross-vendor returns all 5/5 clean (3-consecutive cascaded-loop exit). The final 1% is Houston-only.

    Ask:Read pipelines/p2_chirality/chirality_catalog_paper.pdf (51 pp / 26.26 MB) and reply 'sign off P4' or send blocking findings. arXiv-tarball + submission queued behind sign-off.

  • arXiv endorsement + submission credentials (astro-ph.CO)
    gates all

    Why blocked:Only Houston has the arXiv account + the astro-ph.CO endorser relationships. Agents cannot create arXiv accounts or get endorsed.

    Ask:Confirm submission order (recommended P1A → P4 → P3 → P1B → P2 → P5) and run the arXiv submission yourself when each paper is signed off. I prepare the tarballs.

  • DESI environmental VAC ('187 DESI-derived attributes' catalog)
    gates P5

    Why blocked:Exhaustive sub-agent search (2026-05-15, reconfirmed tick 114) cannot locate this file in the repo or via any DESI public release. We have built a workaround (V-Web env_finder Phase 1 MVP, 104s laptop run on 14.6M spectro galaxies, headline result intact) but a published VAC is the gold-standard reference for the paper. If you do not have access to one, the V-Web workaround is sufficient and we proceed; if you do, share the path/DOI.

    Ask:Either (a) provide the path/URL/DOI to the 187-attribute DESI VAC, or (b) confirm we proceed with the V-Web env_finder workaround as the paper's canonical environmental classifier. Option (b) is the default if no response.

Paper 5v0.1.26-2026-05-23
Environmental Dependence of Spiral Chirality Across DESI Large-Scale Structure: A Cross-Matched Test of Local Coherence and Cosmic-Web Alignment

v0.1.26 (cron fire #67): second internal Claude review (R2) returned 0 BLOCKER / 0 MAJOR / 3 minor / 3 nit, meeting AGENT_RULES §4.4.1 cascaded-loop-exit criterion. ⚠️ **CRITICAL CORRECTION**: R2 caught that the fire-#64 cluster-side joint-z claim was based on the WRONG n (used entire matched-sample bright/dark instead of cluster-restricted). Persisted cluster_within_class_decomposition.json: cluster-bright n=392,342 σ=−4.74 vs cluster-dark n=4,234 σ=+0.03 → joint z=**−0.52σ** (null at counting-statistics noise; dark sample too small). Filament-side joint z=−3.40σ stands. Abstract honestly updated: only filament class powers the joint test; cluster sign-flip is dark-sample-limited. Also closed N1 row-total reconciliation + N2 'fifth independent' → 'fourth catalog-anchored cross-check'. R-round-clean per AGENT_RULES §4.4.1. PDF 907KB / 0 overfull / 0 undef.

Current Focus

R43 Wave 14-RRR — Paper 1 split into P1A + P1B; cobaya DESI DR2 w0wa chain in burn-in
Wave 14-PPPP launched the R45 multi-agent adversarial peer review on post-OOOO versions of P1A v1A.0.8 / P2 v1.7.15 / P3 v3.1.26 / P4 v1.0.35 (P1B excluded — compute-gated on cobaya R̂−1 < 0.01). 4 parallel Claude general-purpose subagents fetched the latest .tex from GitHub raw and returned 50 findings (6 BLOCKER + 21 MAJOR + 17 MINOR + 6 NIT) — saved at project-context/peer-reviews/2026-05-09_0030pt_R45_CCAI_*.md. The R45 net delta vs R44 (50 findings) is +1 BLOCKER, −2 MAJOR — the loop has NOT yet converged. Several R45 BLOCKERs are issues that the R44-closure waves themselves introduced: (P1A-R45-B1) the new four-route no-go appendix §IV.D Route 4 amplitude bound says ≥8 orders of magnitude but the underlying ρ_θ ≲ 10^{-46} eV^4 vs ρ_Λ ~ 10^{-11} eV^4 ratio is 10^35 (35 orders); (P1A-R45-B2) the new §IV.B Route 2 closure compares a rotation rate β̇ in eV with an angle uncertainty σ(β) in eV — dimensionally inconsistent; (P4-R45-B1) the GZ1 Platt L-BFGS recalibration parameters cited in §IV (A=0.215143, B=−1.581205) are NOT in the on-disk artifact wave_14_fff_gz1_platt_recal.json (which shows placeholder values A=0.21505, B=−1.58, accuracy 0.5194 chance, Brier=NaN). Two R45 BLOCKERs are pre-existing: (P2-R45-B1) abstract \ref{sec:gr} undefined produces ?? in PDF; (P2-R45-B2) §VII 9.9σ vs 3-5σ headline still semantically conflated; (P3-R45-B1) tier arithmetic 264,938+113,342=378,280 ≠ 378,080 across 23 surfaces. Honest readiness rolled back: P1A 90→78 (−12pp), P1B 75 unchanged (compute-gated), P2 85→73 (−12pp), P3 89→80 (−9pp), P4 89→76 (−13pp). Average 85.6 → 76.4 (−9.2pp). The cycle Houston asked to see is now visible: 11 forward waves over the session added +3.2pp; one R45 round subtracts −9.2pp; the loop continues until per-round delta shrinks to zero. **Wave queue: 14-QQQQ closes P1A R45 BLOCKERs B1+B2 + MAJORs; 14-RRRR closes P2; 14-SSSS closes P3 (B1 tier-arithmetic restate + 5 MAJORs); 14-TTTT closes P4 (B1 re-run GZ1 L-BFGS + 6 MAJORs); 14-UUUU minors+nits sweep; 14-VVVV launches R46.** Cap stays at 95% until BOTH a clean CCAI R-round AND a clean cross-vendor non-Anthropic R-round have passed. Cobaya DESI DR2 chain continues: R̂−1 = 0.076 at May 8 18:27 PT.

Currently running

  • D4-TTA N=10K holdout job (pid 12509): addresses Houston-flagged 1,558-galaxy statistical-power caveat per cron prompt option (a). Downloading 10,000 DESI Legacy Sky Viewer cutouts at ~0.5 valid/sec (DESI rate-limited, ~24% fail). ETA ~4-5h remaining. Output → outputs/canonical_provenance/d4_tta_holdout_10k_results.json (v1.0.117-d4-tta-holdout-10k-local). On completion will produce a v1.0.117 paper update tightening the statistical-power floor by ~√(10000/1558) ≈ 2.5×.
  • Autonomous /loop self-pacing across ticks 80-110: ticks 102-108 landed major closures (P1A loop-exit, HF README v1.0.116 push to Hub, P3 9576-dedup closure via artifact, Vercel deploy verification); ticks 103/105/107/110 are SSOT/CLAUDE.md/queue.md/site-data staleness sweeps. Each tick converts at least one stale-doc or pending-recompute item into a closed/refreshed state.
  • R-round 5-vendor cross-vendor cron BLOCKED at R17/R21: OpenRouter $500 budget exhausted ($500.52/$500 verified via direct API). Will resume immediately when Houston tops up; in the meantime each cron fire continues with non-API-dependent in-repo work.
  • Cobaya iter2 chain TERMINATED at convergence 2026-05-18 07:53 UTC (R̂−1 = 0.00820 < 0.01 publication target; N = 128,385 across 16 chains). Backed up 3-location: HF (canonical online, bamfai/bigbounce-mcmc), local disk, BackBlaze; GitHub has manifest + posterior summary. Pod ijzftpy3klystt no longer load-bearing.
