+# R156 — loop pacing and privileged Epoch routing
+
+Status: DEVELOPMENT / TESTED FOCUSED / NOT PUBLISHED. Predecessor is the
+R155 isolated candidate. The live 0.15.61 release, configured grants,
+foreground session, R89 ACL rules, R70 owner admission, registry, and
+production pointers are intentionally unchanged.
+
+## What was wrong
+
+1. The outer autonomous supervisor counted backoff-blocked goals as
+   runnable. Its 25 ms hot-scan path could therefore run when no provider
+   dispatch was eligible, wasting cycles on status scans and filesystem work.
+2. The supervisor host provisions a trusted `codex_app_server` planner, and
+   the R24 runtime supports it, but the scheduler excluded the backend from
+   its provider-backed dispatch list. A running supervisor was not proof a
+   Codex goal would actually advance.
+3. The normal npm release is installed under the owner's writable
+   `.deadbyte-mcp\releases` directory. Its controller launches
+   `authority-epoch-cli-r65.mjs` from that path. R89 correctly refuses
+   loading the native epoch lock with `UNTRUSTED_WRITE_ACE`. It is *not*
+   appropriate to weaken R89 or chmod the user release.
+
+## Change: same engine, better outer loop
+
+- Count only dispatched goals as runnable. A backoff-blocked goal now
+  permits the idle interval instead of triggering the 25 ms hot path.
+- Include `codex_app_server` among the supervisor's provider-backed
+  planners. Leave `client_sampling` excluded: it requires a live model
+  through a client and must never be mistaken for unattended planning.
+- Keep standing authority, task policy, Native Diff, approvals,
+  cancellation, journal replay and per-goal stop conditions unchanged.
+- Add four isolated behavioral tests for provider backoff, Codex dispatch,
+  client sampling and paused owner-approval goals.
+
+## Change: R89 exact protected root selection
+
+The controller accepts an *optional generation-config-only*
+`AuthorityEpochRoot`. When set, before invoking the epoch CLI it checks:
+- `MANIFEST.SHA256` matches the active release
+- exact SHA-256 equivalence for the Epoch CLI and its 11 supporting native/
+  JS trust files
+- Windows R89 OS ACL verification still executes inside the selected native
+  Epoch Lock, denying untrusted write access to any checked ancestor
+
+There is no CLI/env override and no automatic selection of an unverified
+Program Files directory. The generation renderer preserves an existing
+`AuthorityEpochRoot` only when supplied by the trusted deployment process.
+If missing, the old fail-closed path remains and npm arm commands still
+cannot work from a writable package alone.
+
+**Important:** shipping the R156 source is not sufficient to fix new
+installations. The release/activation workflow must provision an exact
+manifest-matched, OS-owned native installation via owner-authorized Windows
+privilege escalation, bind that absolute path to the generation config,
+and verify the byte identity and ACL before issuing any grant.
+R70 independent Autonomous owner enrollment is still required.
+
+## Observed evidence
+
+- R156 supervisor pacing TDD: first 1 RED / 1 PASS, then 2/2 PASS
+- R156 Codex dispatch TDD: first 1 RED / 3 PASS, then 4/4 PASS
+- R156 autonomous focused suite: 32 PASS / 0 FAIL
+- R156 generation and native ACL guard suite: 16 PASS / 0 FAIL
+- R156 PowerShell verifier:
+  - identical trusted stage accepted before a deliberately invalid plane
+  - unrelated root rejected with manifest mismatch
+  - protected Epoch module source SHA-256 equality PASS
+  - NO lease issued / process started / grant altered
+- Two earlier Windows native integration tests remain RED when executed
+  directly under the user-writable development tree. This is expected
+  under R89 and is **not** counted as release readiness.
+
+## Release gate
+
+Must still be proven for the exact repackaged 0.15.62 candidate:
+1. UAC-owned protected Epoch installation, exact artifact/manifest and
+   recovery proof, and generation-config path binding
+2. protected Windows full regression (not user-writable dev tree)
+3. clean install and `remote armprocess`, `armcoding`, `armdesktop`,
+   `armhost` with explicit local authorization, and successful revoke
+4. Autonomous R70 owner enrollment and independent project-scope isolation
+5. LiveLogs default START/DONE/FAIL plus audit continuity regression
+6. npm tarball verification, release metadata, rollback, registry identity
+
+No npm publish or production activation has been attempted by this R156
+development pass.

+- R89 protected source routing is candidate-only. Actual install provision / owner consent / revoke remains unverified.
+- R155 default LiveLogs focused checks pass, but full Windows regression and startup reconciliation are not closed.
+- R156/R157 autonomous supervisor is test-backed; release identity has not changed.
+- A code source import does not prove an IPC, host process, or cloud boundary. Prove via isolated end-to-end test.
