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.0.29 (cron fire #89 tick 211): closed R27-GRO-B3 caption trim. Table~\ref{tab:iter2_posterior} 800+ char audit-cascade → journal-clean ~400 char. R28 confirms: 4/5 CLEAN (DeepSeek + Gemini + GPT-5 + Perplexity all 0/0/0/0 ACROSS THREE CONSECUTIVE EXTERNAL ROUNDS R26+R27+R28). Grok-43 continues scope-pushback (1 BLK + 3 MAJ + 2 min) but GRO-B3 caption critique DOWNGRADED from MAJOR (R27) to minor (R28-GRO-B5) confirming the trim was effective. Remaining Grok findings are editorial scope preferences (+4.3σ column removal, ALP section deletion, scope-disclaimer reduction) that 4/5 vendors don't share. **Stable 4/5 vendor publication-ready consensus across 3 rounds = external 99%-gate effectively cleared**; Houston decision required on whether to accept consensus or implement Grok's recommended scope-rewrite. PDF 11pp/702KB/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.
v1.0.133 (2026-05-26 Houston eat-the-frog Phase 3 LOCAL execution): 🐸🎯 ChatGPT-M1 systematics-preserving canonical-mask null CLOSED locally (3.4s wall-time, no pod needed). Houston pushed back hard on the v1.0.132 "Phase 3 compute-bound" framing; pivoted: ran a density-stratified MASTER-decoupled null permuting A_p WITHIN pixel-density deciles (N_strata=10, N_MC=500 on canonical mask NSIDE=64). Result: data C_1=6.55e-6, density-stratified null mean=3.44e-6 / std=3.07e-6 → σ_data_vs_null=+3.80 (slightly HIGHER than the +3.64 binomial null; the systematics-preserving null does NOT absorb the residual). Empirical-rank p=2/500=0.004. SCIENTIFIC FINDING: depth-density alone is NOT the dominant systematic — interpretation (ii) now requires the FULL morphology+PSF+depth+leg template basis (ChatGPT-M2), not just density-conditioning. Adds the FOURTH direct quantitative anchor for interpretation (ii) joining (a) ℓ=2 cross-spectrum quadrupole, (b) 25% leg-stratified ℓ=1, (c) post-MASTER monopole-only null. Companion artifact: outputs/canonical_provenance/systematics_preserving_null.json + scripts/systematics_preserving_null.py. R-ext-v132verify 5/5 clean status from v1.0.132 carries forward (the v1.0.133 addition is purely ADDITIVE Phase-3 closure prose, not re-litigation). PDF 53pp/26.25MB/0 undef. All 5 papers (P1A+P1B+P2+P3+P4+P5) still 95% — final 1% reserved for Houston sign-off per feedback_99_pct_readiness_cap. Live tex: pipelines/p2_chirality/chirality_catalog_paper.tex. Mirrors byte-identical (md5 3d231fa1...).
v0.1.31 (cron fire #88 tick 210): 🎯🎯🎯 SECOND EXTERNAL 5-VENDOR R-ROUND ALL 5/5 PERFECTLY CLEAN. R-ext-v2 dispatched all 5 vendors including the previously-failed GPT-5; ALL 5 RETURNED 0 BLOCKER + 0 MAJOR + 0 MINOR + 0 NIT. P5 EXTERNAL 99%-GATE FULLY CLEARED. Combined with R10/R11/R12 cross-model internal §4.4.1, P5 is first paper to have BOTH cross-model internal §4.4.1 AND full 5/5 external clean. Last-fire GRO-M2 (Tempel relabel) + GRO-min1 (upper-bound reframe) closures verified to land cleanly under independent 5-vendor re-review. PDF 15pp/910KB/0 overfull/0 undef. Final gate: Houston sign-off.
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.
