full list →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 healthygates 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 submissiongates 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 submissiongates 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.

v1A.0.35: external-review-ready (R15+R16+R24 3-consec 5/5 clean cascaded-loop exit; first fully-clean P1A compile in campaign; 20pp/833KB/0 overfull/0 undef refs/0 undef cites; arXiv tarball pre-built p1a_v1A.0.35_arxiv.tar.gz). Final 1% gates on Houston sign-off + clean R26 (R26 blocked on OpenRouter per-key weekly cap; see NEEDS_HOUSTON.md item 0).
v1B.0.22: external-review-ready (R16 4/5 + R23 5/5 clean; first fully-clean P1B compile in campaign after tab:mcmc_inventory→table* fix; 11pp/694KB/0 overfull/0 undef; arXiv tarball pre-built p1b_v1B.0.22_arxiv.tar.gz). Final 1% gates on Houston sign-off + clean R26 (R26 blocked on OpenRouter per-key weekly cap; see NEEDS_HOUSTON.md item 0).
v1.7.33 (cron fire #20): inline center+tabular → table* eliminated the last 83pt residual. **0 OVERFULLS** — first fully-clean P2 compile in campaign. Cumulative reduction across #18-20: 3508pt → 0pt (100%). R23+R24+R25 cascaded-loop exit. 20pp/816KB / 0 undef refs.
v3.1.62 (cron fire #24): final 4 residual overfulls (55+41+33+34=163pt) ELIMINATED in one sweep. NANOGrav §sec:nanograv likelihood + matter-bounce template equations wrapped in widetext (55pt closed); §pathc_caveats (iv) continuum-dip recovery curves broken into separate paragraph + (v) all_surveys_summary path \allowbreak-injected (74pt closed); Cobaya posterior align block wrapped in widetext (34pt closed). **0 overfull, 0 undef refs — first fully-clean P3 compile in entire campaign**. 47pp/28.4MB.
v1.0.126 — HF model card pushed v1.0.122 → v1.0.125 (closes ChatGPT BL-1 stale-card flag); 78pt overfull on long null_distribution.npy filename eliminated via allowbreak splits. PDF 51pp/26.26MB / 0 undef / 4 minor overfulls.
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
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.
