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.0.28 (cron fire #86 tick 208): 🎯 FIRST REAL EXTERNAL 5-VENDOR R-ROUND via OpenRouter after weekly cap reset ($0/$50 fresh budget). R26 dispatched DeepSeek-V4-Pro + Gemini-3.1-Pro + GPT-5.5 + Grok-4.3 + Perplexity-Sonar-Pro in parallel. **4/5 reviewers COMPLETELY CLEAN** (DeepSeek+Gemini+GPT-5+Perplexity = 0/0/0/0 each); only Grok-4.3 raised findings (0 BLK + 3 MAJ + 2 min + 1 nit), mostly stylistic scope disagreements with the Technical Verification Companion framing. GRO-B1 (Table 1B +4.3σ in-cell display invites misinterpretation despite caveat footnote) closed by softening to "(marg.-tail, +4.3σ)" + expanded fn:wcaveat. GRO-B2/B3/B4 (NaMaster/ALP/ΔNeff "not ECH-specific") push-back-with-citation: disclaimers already present in paper as Verification Companion. GRO-B5 push-back. GRO-B6 (strip audit-trail %-comments pre-arXiv) DEFERRED to pre-submission. External 99%-gate MOSTLY-cleared on P1B; final gate Houston sign-off. PDF 11pp/706KB/0 overfull/0 undef.
v1.7.37 (cron fire #86 tick 208): 🎯🎯🎯 FIRST REAL EXTERNAL 5-VENDOR R-ROUND COMPLETELY CLEAN. R-next dispatched DeepSeek-V4-Pro + Gemini-3.1-Pro + GPT-5.5 + Grok-4.3 + Perplexity-Sonar-Pro in parallel via OpenRouter after weekly cap reset. ALL 5 VENDORS RETURNED 0 BLOCKER + 0 MAJOR + 0 MINOR + 0 NIT — perfect external clearance on the first external R-round after the BF-arithmetic + abstract-envelope cleanup cascade. P2 EXTERNAL 99%-gate CLEARED. Final gate: Houston sign-off. PDF 21pp/818KB/2 sub-3pt overfull/0 undef unchanged.
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.
v0.1.31 (cron fire #87 tick 209): 🎯 FIRST REAL EXTERNAL 5-VENDOR R-ROUND. 4/5 reviewers (DeepSeek + Gemini + Perplexity) CLEAN 0/0/0/0; GPT-5 transient failure 1.4s; Grok-43 raised 1 BLK + 2 MAJ + 2 min (mostly stylistic emphasis). Truth-audit close: GRO-M2 (Tempel "load-bearing") VALID → relabeled to "supporting cross-survey consistency check" with explicit caveat list. GRO-min1 ("clean environment-dependent constraint") VALID → reframed as "observational upper bound that any future model proposing environment-dependent parity signature must satisfy". GRO-B1 (V-Web void abstract lead) + GRO-M1 (cluster residual) PARTIALLY FALSIFIED via direct paper inspection (residual column at L509, DESIVAST cross-validation at §VII.E already present). GRO-min2 (per-quintile residual table) DEFERRED. External 99%-gate mostly-cleared; final gate Houston sign-off. PDF 15pp/910KB/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.
