+## Meet the Personal Agent Workspace
+
+Keep long-horizon goals in one local-first workspace. Goals, attention,
+conversations, tasks, files, schedules, and recovery stay durable across days,
+restarts, and harnesses. Reopen a project, inspect the previous turn’s state
+and evidence, and continue the next permitted action.
+
+LoopX 1.0 brings these long-horizon control states into the Personal Workspace. It gives you one place to:
+
+- see what needs you, what is running, what is being watched, and what is
+  scheduled or stopped;
+- configure Goal capabilities, distinguish machine defaults from Goal overrides,
+  and preview changes before applying them;
+- steer a live turn, queue a message, or use the async inbox from a connected
+  Lark conversation with explicit Goal/Agent/session routing;
+- inspect deliverable files, periodic reports, and their supporting evidence;
+- continue across Codex, Claude Code, direct-model, and other registered Agent
+  sessions without losing Goal state or evidence;
+- review protected changes through typed preview, explicit confirmation, and
+  receipts while LoopX state—not the browser—remains authoritative.
+
+For Manager group conversations, LoopX keeps message visibility separate from
+Turn authority; see the bilingual [Lark Manager context and authority
+contract](docs/reference/protocols/lark-manager-context-authority-v0.md).
+
+```bash
+loopx dashboard
+```
+
+`loopx dashboard` is the supported browser/PWA launch path. You can also download
+native desktop previews from the [1.0 release](https://github.com/loopx-project/loopx/releases/tag/v1.0.0);
+they reuse the same loopback services and Goal state. Apple Silicon macOS supports
+signed App updates that pair the shell with its bundled runtime, plus repair and
+recovery. Python 3.11+ is required; the App is ad-hoc signed, not notarized.
+Windows preview installers currently use manual updates and a separately installed CLI.

+
+## Why LoopX
+
+An agent can finish a task in one session. Long-running work is harder:
+objectives change, owner decisions appear, evidence goes stale, agents hand work
+to peers, and a scheduler can keep spending after no useful transition remains.
+Chat memory and a timer are not enough to govern that.
+
+LoopX keeps the durable control state in one compact layer:
+
+<picture>
+  <source media="(max-width: 640px)" srcset="docs/assets/harness-neutral.en.mobile.svg">
+  <img src="docs/assets/harness-neutral.en.svg" alt="Your harness runs the turn. LoopX carries the work." width="1200">
+</picture>
+
+Agent runtimes execute the work. LoopX governs the state that lets engineering,
+research, discovery, and operations loops continue across runs. It is not
+another agent framework or a provider-specific orchestration runtime.
+
+<picture>
+  <source media="(max-width: 640px)" srcset="docs/assets/control-plane-board.en.mobile.svg">
+  <img src="docs/assets/control-plane-board.en.svg" alt="One turn is a governed state transition—not just a timer." width="1200">
+</picture>
+
+A useful mental model is an
+**[agent-native Kanban for long-running work](docs/development/control-plane-course/00-concept-primer.md)**.
+Cards carry identity, authority, evidence, and continuation. Moves are validated
+operators such as claim, gate, monitor, and writeback. The board is a
+projection; LoopX state remains the source of truth.
+
+Registered agents are peers. Claims, leases, task boundaries, capabilities, and
+typed continuation decide who acts next; no durable leader identity is
+required.
+
+LoopX is useful when you run:
+
+- multi-day engineering, research, benchmark, or experiment objectives;
+- issue and PR loops that must preserve scope, evidence, and review state;
+- recurring heartbeat or monitor work;
+- projects with owner, safety, publication, or private-data gates;
+- peer-agent teams where ownership, leases, and handoff matter;
+- creator, research, or operations workflows whose progress must remain
+  legible to a non-engineering operator.
+
+LoopX is not an autonomous production controller. Dangerous permissions,
+publishing, production writes, and final ownership stay with the human.
+
+### Personal Agents, Teams, and Self-Improving Workflows
+
+[Meta Muse](https://about.fb.com/news/2026/09/introducing-muse-personal-ai-agent/)
+and [Grok Bot](https://x.ai/news/introducing-grok-bot) make persistent personal
+agents and delegated work a familiar product idea. LoopX approaches that space
+as an open, provider-neutral control plane for agents you already run—not as a
+hosted replacement for either product.
+
+- **Personal agent:** use the shipped Workspace and connected Lark surfaces to
+  inspect goals, steer work and resolve decisions. The
+  [persistent steward and semantic handoff RFC](docs/architecture/rfcs/capable-manager-semantic-handoff-v0.md)
+  extends this toward one capable front door for a team; the complete journey
+  remains under qualification.
+- **Agent team:** share goals without erasing worker ownership. Claims, evidence
+  and explicit returns keep implementation and review connected. See the
+  [three-agent collaboration demo](examples/collaboration-delivery/README.md)
+  for a bounded example, including corrections and two review rounds.
+- **Self-improving workflows:** connect feedback to the next attempt through
+  [Reward Memory](loopx/capabilities/reward_memory/README.md), and evaluate
+  candidate changes through [Explore](loopx/capabilities/explore/README.md).
+  Both are optional. The link to **recursive self-improvement (RSI)** is the
+  engineering loop—propose, test, review, retain—not a claim that LoopX has
+  demonstrated autonomous model improvement or compounding capability gains.
+
+A personal steward is an interaction role, not a second source of authority.
+Background execution still needs an available host and configured runtime.
+The [overall roadmap](docs/architecture/rfcs/loopx-overall-roadmap-v0.md)
+separates shipped foundations from the next end-to-end acceptance milestones.

+## Evidence
+
+<a id="lhtb-results"></a>
+
+### LHTB: Higher Mean Reward With the Same Model
+
+**LoopX 1.0.3 Heartbeat reaches 0.4948 mean reward across 46 matched tasks:**
+**+17.3% over Plain Codex** and **+10.6% over native Codex Goal**.
+All three use GPT-5.6 Sol, max reasoning effort, and disabled Web Search.
+[Long-Horizon Terminal-Bench](https://zli12321.github.io/LHTB/index.html) goes beyond coding: these tasks span research
+reproduction, scientific simulation, multimodal analysis, professional
+workflows, games, and systems work.
+
+| Execution mode | Mean reward ↑ | Strict pass rate (≥0.95) | Pass rate (≥0.80) |
+| --- | ---: | ---: | ---: |
+| Plain Codex | 0.4218 | 7/46 (15.2%) | 12/46 (26.1%) |
+| Native Codex Goal | 0.4475 | 4/46 (8.7%) | 14/46 (30.4%) |
+| **LoopX 1.0.3 Heartbeat** | **0.4948** | **7/46 (15.2%)** | **15/46 (32.6%)** |
+
+The ≥0.80 threshold is a supplementary, post-hoc view; ≥0.95 remains the
+benchmark's strict solved threshold. No score in this study equals 0.80, so
+these counts also match the study brief's >0.80 view.
+
+Against native Goal, task-level rewards improve on **23**, tie on **13**, and
+regress on **10** tasks. Strict solves match Plain Codex, so the mean gain is
+not a claim that every task improves or that more tasks are fully solved than
+Plain. Mean reward also credits partial progress.
+
+One effective trial per task and mode; designated replacement trials and
+unequal runtime/budgets, including longer budgets for some Heartbeat replacements.
+These are observed system results, not an equal-budget efficiency result or
+an isolated causal estimate of LoopX's effect.

+· [Public task-level scores](benchmark/LHTB/studies/five-arm-gpt56sol-max/data.json)
+
+Beyond benchmarks, LoopX also has inspectable long-running project evidence.
+The public OpenViking contribution sequence and the redacted, owner-run
+Auto ML showcase each span **200+ hours of elapsed loop lifetime**, preserving
+bounded turns, decisions, and evidence updates. This measures wall-clock project
+time, not continuous model execution or unattended production autonomy. Open
+each visual to inspect the public-safe task graph, evidence branches, and
+cross-turn decisions; each case states its source and reproducibility boundary.

+### Open-Source Issue Fix
+
+**200+ hour public contribution arc: PR delivery and reusable fix knowledge
+evolve together.**

+
+LoopX's creator uses this path as an
+[OpenViking contributor](https://github.com/volcengine/OpenViking/pulls?q=is%3Apr+author%3Ahuangruiteng).
+The represented public contribution sequence spans more than 200 elapsed hours
+from its first PR creation to the latest represented review or update. The
+[Issue-Fix capability](loopx/capabilities/issue_fix/README.md) keeps rolling
+repository context, revision-stamped fix knowledge, and reviewer-facing
+preferences separate; linked PRs plus current checkout source and tests remain
+authoritative.
+
+### Auto ML Experiment
+
+**Redacted owner-run showcase: a 200+ hour experiment arc keeps hypotheses,
+matched evidence, invalid lineages, running replicates, and promote/stop gates
+visible in one graph.**
+

+</a>
+
+The redacted public-safe graph preserves decision lineage across that 200+ hour
+elapsed window. It is an owner-run showcase, not a claim of continuous compute,
+independent reproduction, or a production result.

+### Used In Real Projects
+
+- **Independent user · `>13h` C++ accuracy run.** The user reported that a
+  multi-stage task stayed aligned, triggered public research, adopted a
+  [public code-memory tool](https://github.com/DeusData/codebase-memory-mcp),
+  and improved final precision. [Read the evidence boundary](docs/showcases/cases/independent-cpp-accuracy-long-run.md).
+- **Independent user · `4d` unattended run.** The user reported four days
+  without human intervention, useful ongoing work, and a periodic report
+  surface. [Read the redacted case](docs/showcases/cases/independent-four-day-unattended-agent.md).
+- **Independent user · `7` merged PRs.** A LoopX-attributed Engine refactor is
+  visible in a [public issue](https://github.com/zilliztech/mfs/issues/166) and
+  seven merged PRs; attribution and the reported `1B+` token scale remain user
+  reports. [Inspect the case](docs/showcases/cases/independent-public-engine-refactor.md).

+
+### Exploratory Benchmark Studies
+
+- **[SWE-Marathon](https://loopx-project.github.io/loopx/benchmarks/swe-marathon/):**
+  Five execution modes on 15 matched tasks compare self-verification, scores,
+  and cost. More self-verification did not consistently yield higher scores.
+- **[LHTB × LoopX](https://loopx-project.github.io/loopx/benchmarks/lhtb/):**
+  The [results above](#lhtb-results) lead into five execution mechanisms,
+  task-level comparisons, regressions, and exploratory task-type analysis.
+- **[DeepSWE behavior analysis](https://loopx-project.github.io/loopx/benchmarks/deepswe/behavior-discovery/)** (Chinese):
+  Selected cases examine how domain hints relate to requirement retention and
+  verification choices, offering mechanism hypotheses for further testing.
+
+SWE-Marathon and LHTB have one effective trial per task and mode; DeepSWE uses
+selected cases and post-hoc analysis.

+
+## Try LoopX
+
+Install once:
+
+```bash
+python3 -m pip install --upgrade loopx && loopx workflow-skills --install
+```
+
+### Start From Your Agent
+
+Restart your Agent host, then start from a session opened on your project:
+
+| Host | Type |
+| --- | --- |
+| Codex App, Codex CLI | `$loopx <complex task>` |
+| Claude Code | `/loopx <complex task>` |
+| DeepSeek Harness | Install the [native DSH plugin](packages/dsh-loopx-plugin/README.md), select the `loopx` skill, then describe the task |
+
+LoopX reuses existing project state or connects the project, plans the work as
+Todos and sets up the host's loop. `loopx status` shows the goal, any decision
+waiting for you and the next Todo; `loopx doctor` diagnoses the install.
+
+Requires Python 3.11+ and Node.js 22.22.3+ (24 LTS recommended).
+[Installing LoopX](docs/guides/installing-loopx.md) covers native Windows,
+`pipx`, upgrades, rollback and uninstall.

+<summary><b>Other hosts, loop drivers and custom runners</b></summary>
+
+| Host | Recommended start | Loop driver |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Codex App | `$loopx <complex task>`, or choose `loopx` from `/skills`, in a thread opened on the project. | Codex App heartbeat automation, refreshed from `quota should-run.scheduler_hint` |
+| Codex App over SSH | `loopx agent-onboard --agent-type codex-app-ssh --project .` | The returned visible `/goal <task_body>` |
+| Codex CLI | Start `codex` in the project, then `$loopx <complex task>` or `/skills`. | Visible `/goal <task_body>`; no hidden headless execution by default |
+| Claude Code | Install the opt-in adapter, then run `/loopx <task>` followed by `/loop`. | Native Claude Code `/loop` gated by LoopX |
+| KunlunCode | Run `loopx-kunluncode connect --project . --goal-id <goal-id> --agent-id <registered-agent-id>`, add a bounded todo, then run `loopx-kunluncode run --project .`. | Native Goal Pro through app-server; LoopX writes completion and quota only after strict verification |
+| OpenCode | Install the static command facade; opt in to `--with-goal-bridge` for recurring goals. | OpenCode command facade and explicit goal bridge |
+| Pi | Install the opt-in goal extension with `loopx slash-commands --install --surface pi`, then use `/loopx <task>` from a trusted Pi session. | Visible Pi goal extension gated by LoopX quota (`loopx_goal_activate` + `agent_settled` continuation) |
+| ZCode | Install the skill facade with `loopx slash-commands --install --surface zcode`, then invoke the `$loopx` skill (or `/loopx <complex task>`) from a ZCode session in the project. | The ZCode session's own turn loop; every continuation enters through `quota should-run` |
+| Antigravity CLI (agy) | Install the skill facade with `loopx slash-commands --install --surface agy`, then invoke the `loopx` skill (or `/loopx <complex task>`) from an `agy` session in the project. | The session's native `/goal` loop (audited until `<!-- GOAL_COMPLETE -->`) with `schedule` self-wakes while the session lives; the facade instructs every turn/wake to re-enter through `quota should-run` — advisory pacing, not a host-enforced gate |
+| Kiro CLI | Install the skill facade with `loopx slash-commands --install --surface kiro-cli`, then run `/loopx <complex task>` from a `kiro-cli` session in the project. | The session's native `/goal --max <N> <task_body> Done when: <criteria>` loop, with the acceptance criteria stated inside the goal statement because the host derives them from it, bounded by the host's own iteration budget (default 5) and settled through the built-in `goal` completion contract; the facade instructs every turn and iteration to re-enter through `quota should-run` — advisory pacing, not a host-enforced gate |
+| DeepSeek Harness (dsh) | Install the [native DSH plugin](packages/dsh-loopx-plugin/README.md), select the `loopx` skill, and describe the task. The [dsh goal-mode adapter](loopx/dsh_goal_mode/README.md) remains available for headless turns. | Native same-session continuation and GoalBar, or headless dsh segments; both remain gated by LoopX authority |
+| Cursor, shell, or custom runner | `loopx start-goal --guided --project . --goal-text "<task>"`, or call LoopX from your runner. | Your shell, scheduler, or runner |
+
+The exact, copy-ready setup messages and host recovery paths live in
+[Getting Started](docs/guides/getting-started.md). Host integrations can inspect
+the [Codex App host command registry contract](docs/reference/protocols/codex-app-host-command-registry-v0.md),

+
+See the [60-second DSH × LoopX Replan recording and reproducible
+fixture](docs/showcases/cases/dsh-loopx-replan-demo.md) for the native path:

+the preserved decision trail.
+
+For custom runners, start with the
+[minimal custom runtime example](docs/guides/minimal-custom-runtime-example.md)
+(`python3 examples/custom-runtime-minimal-cli-turn-smoke.py`), then the full
+[Embed LoopX in Your Agent Runner](docs/guides/custom-agent-runner-integration.md)
+guide and the [worker bridge install contract](docs/integrations/worker-bridge-install-contract.md).
+The core tick is deliberately small:

+### First-Run Feedback
+
+If LoopX works for you, a one-minute public issue helps us learn what a real
+first run looks like. It is optional, contains no telemetry, and should not
+include logs, paths, credentials, internal project names, or goal contents:

+| **Kernel** | Owns durable goal, todo, gate, evidence, quota, recovery, and scheduling truth. | [Architecture](docs/architecture.md) |
+| **Capability** | Defines a stable, provider-neutral contract for producing one bounded, verifiable caller outcome from LoopX state. | [Capability catalog](loopx/capabilities/README.md) |
+| **Provider** | Calls an external system or local implementation and returns bounded observations, effect results, and readback. | [Provider responsibilities](docs/reference/extensions.md#runtime-responsibilities) |
+| **Extension** | Packages and operates an optional provider through explicit install, readiness, enable, upgrade, disable, and rollback lifecycle. | [Extension lifecycle](docs/reference/extensions.md#runtime-lifecycle) |
+
+Host declarations such as `--available-capability shell` describe observed
+execution support. They are runtime capacities in this product map, not product
+capabilities and not permission grants. The effective capability still applies
+its own policy and authority checks before proposing a transition.
+
+### Core Control-Plane Promises
+
+The Kernel folds its mechanics into five questions. Each question delivers one
+product promise on top of any agent harness: objective → long-horizon state;
+next → semantic decisions; human judgment → human-agent collaboration;
+evidence → recovery; continuation → governance.
+
+| Question | What LoopX keeps visible |
+| --- | --- |
+| What is the objective? | The active goal, explicit scope, and current authority. |
+| What happens next? | Ordered user and agent todos, ownership, claims, and leases. |
+| What needs human judgment? | Concrete user gates instead of a vague "waiting for owner." |
+| What evidence changed? | Compact run history, validation, blockers, and accepted writeback. |
+| May the loop continue? | Quota, capabilities, safe fallback, scheduler hints, and stop conditions. |
+
+### Control-Plane Surface
+
+| Surface | What it does | Start with |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Goal state and status | Tracks active state, todos, claims, gates, evidence, run history, and first-screen attention. | `loopx status`, `loopx diagnose`, `loopx review-packet` |
+| Quota and interaction contract | Decides whether a turn should deliver, ask, wait, self-repair, or stay quiet. | `loopx quota should-run`, [quota allocation](docs/quota-allocation.md) |
+| Agent runtime bridges | Keeps Codex App, Codex CLI, Claude Code, and generic workers aligned with the same guard. | `loopx heartbeat-prompt`, `loopx codex-cli-bootstrap-message`, `loopx worker-bridge` |
+| Operator surfaces | Renders compact status without making the browser the state authority. | `loopx serve-status`, [dashboard](apps/presentation/dashboard/README.md) |
+| Session dash | Starts a live single-page panel that tracks fleet progress: sessions, their goals, and each goal's status/todo progress, with result statistics; auto-refreshes in place. | `loopx dash`, [session dash design](docs/product/surfaces/session-dash-panel-design.md) |
+| External projections | Projects todos and gates into collaboration surfaces while LoopX remains authoritative. | `loopx lark-kanban`, [Lark Kanban adapter](docs/integrations/lark-kanban-control-plane-adapter.md) |
+| Domain capabilities | Packages repeatable work lanes such as issue fixing, content operations, value connector planning, ML experiment advice, benchmark evidence, and Explore. | `loopx issue-fix`, `loopx content-ops`, `loopx value-connectors`, `loopx ml-experiment`, `loopx benchmark`, [Explore](loopx/capabilities/explore/README.md) |
+| Experimental context learning | Lets named registered agents trial provider-neutral Reward Memory through ignored, default-off project configuration. OpenViking is one provider option, not a global dependency. | `loopx reward-memory experiment-status`, [Reward Memory architecture](loopx/capabilities/reward_memory/README.md) |
+| Governance patterns | Captures reusable routing, gate, evidence, projection, and planning shapes. | [interaction patterns](docs/concepts/interaction-pattern-catalog.md), [state model](docs/state-interaction-model.md) |
+
+The shipped primitives include lifetime goals, concrete user gates, audited safe
+fallbacks, peer todo ownership, quota and steering, compact run history,
+evidence-backed handoff, a read-first management surface, project-level value
+signals, and public/private boundary checks.
+
+### Product Capability Paths
+
+Capabilities turn those generic primitives into outcome-owned work lanes. Start
+from the outcome, then inspect the current registered implementation and its
+write boundary:
+
+| You need to... | Capability | Start with |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Turn a public issue into a reviewable, evidence-backed change | [Issue Fix](loopx/capabilities/issue_fix/README.md) | `loopx capability show issue-fix --format json` |
+| Qualify the exact final diff before delivery | [Change Quality](loopx/capabilities/change_quality/README.md) | `loopx capability show change-quality-qualification --format json` |
+| Notice busy-but-off-goal work rounds before the periodic review | [Progress-Review Sentinel](loopx/capabilities/progress_review/README.md) | `loopx capability show progress-review-sentinel --format json` |
+| Preserve a changing stack of already reviewed branches | [Integration Branch](loopx/capabilities/integration_branch/README.md) | `loopx capability show integration-branch-reconcile --format json` |
+| Explore uncertain research without losing hypotheses and findings | [Explore](loopx/capabilities/explore/README.md) | `loopx capability show explore --format json` |
+| Rebase decisions on current evidence and verified outcomes | [Decision Context](loopx/capabilities/decision_context/README.md) | `loopx capability show decision-context --format json` |
+| Produce scheduled or progress-triggered reports with receipts | [Periodic Report](loopx/capabilities/periodic_report/README.md) | `loopx capability show periodic-report --format json` |
+
+Run `loopx capability list --format json` for the authoritative catalog in the
+installed release. A capability detail reports its user value, maturity,
+provider readiness, entry commands, write boundaries, protocols, and durable
+validation. Browse the [human-readable capability index](loopx/capabilities/README.md)
+to choose by outcome; use [Extensions and Capabilities](docs/reference/extensions.md)
+when installing or building a provider.
+
+### Runtime Responsibilities
+
+| Role | Responsibility |
+| --- | --- |
+| **Agent** | Plans, analyzes, uses tools, and performs one bounded action through a host/runtime. |
+| **Provider** | Calls external systems and returns observations, effect results, and readback. |
+| **Capability** | Defines the caller outcome, normalizes provider output, validates it, and proposes a typed transition. |
+| **Kernel** | Owns durable todos, gates, monitors, accepted writeback, quota, recovery, and scheduling. |
+
+The execution path is `Agent -> Capability -> Provider`; the control path
+returns `Provider readback -> Capability transition -> Kernel`. An extension is
+how an optional provider is packaged and managed, not another control-plane
+owner. See [Architecture](docs/architecture.md) and
+[Extensions and Capabilities](docs/reference/extensions.md).
+
+## Advanced Paths
+
+The first useful loop does not require every optional surface. Add these only
+when the work needs them.
+
+Inspect the current goal's read-only capability catalog before enabling an
+advanced path:
+
+```bash
+loopx configure-goal --goal-id <goal-id>
+```
+
+Without `--execute`, this reports current/default state, fit, boundaries, and
+copyable commands without changing project state.
+
+### Recurring Work Presets
+
+Safe presets cover daily triage, changelog drafts, and PR watching. Start with
+the [beginner preset guide](docs/product/foundations/beginner-loop-presets.md).
+
+```bash
+loopx preset list
+loopx preset show daily-triage
+```
+
+Preset inspection is read-only. For a connected recurring goal,
+`loopx ready-score --goal-id <goal-id> --agent-id <agent-id>` reports whether
+the loop is ready to run repeatedly.
+
+### Governed Turns
+
+LoopX can generate one pure, bounded turn decision from a validated receipt,
+fresh quota state, and a provider-neutral budget. The current Codex CLI
+quickstart and activation contract are documented in
+[LoopX Turn for Codex CLI](docs/product/runtimes/codex-cli/loopx-turn-codex-cli-quickstart.md).
+
+### Explore Graph and Harness
+
+Explore is supported, optional, and default-off. It works best when a task has
+a measurable offline evaluation, baseline, treatment, and guardrails; it is not
+a substitute for production approval. Start with the
+[Explore capability](loopx/capabilities/explore/README.md) and its
+[Lark presentation mapping](loopx/capabilities/explore/README.md#presentation-sink-lark-mapping).
+
+### Review Agent Work
+
+Use `loopx review-packet` for a compact owner-facing view of decisions,
+evidence, validation, and unresolved gates. The
+[intelligent management surface](docs/product/surfaces/intelligent-management-surface.md)
+describes the operator model; the
+[project-level reward model](docs/product/foundations/project-level-reward-model.md)
+describes conservative value signals across output quantity, quality, token
+cost, and user attention cost.
+
+For a concrete peer workflow, start with the
+[Agent collaboration guide](docs/product/use-cases/cross-runtime/README.md):
+a builder consumes an analyst's artifact, obtains independent review, handles
+an owner correction and returns the checked result. The guide distinguishes
+the runnable same-host example from the earlier cross-runtime design sketch.
+
+### App and Projection Paths
+
+- Local read-first UI: [dashboard guide](apps/presentation/dashboard/README.md)
+- Public product overview: [public homepage](https://loopx-project.github.io/loopx/)
+- Documentation portal: [hosted docs](https://loopx-project.github.io/loopx/docs/)

+- Custom multi-agent runner:
+  [minimal custom runtime example](docs/guides/minimal-custom-runtime-example.md),
+  then [custom runner integration](docs/guides/custom-agent-runner-integration.md)
+
+Optional projections make state easier to inspect; they do not become the
+source of truth.
+
+### Operating and Recovery
+
+Start daily inspection with:
+
+```bash
+loopx status
+loopx history --goal-id your-project-goal
+loopx quota should-run --goal-id your-project-goal
+```
+
+Automatic turns must check quota first and append spend only after validated
+writeback. Quiet skips, preflight failures, and dry-run previews do not spend.
+When a user gate blocks one lane, a separately audited safe fallback may
+continue, but it must not bypass the gate.
+
+Peer agents use `loopx todo claim` before delivery and `loopx todo update`
+after validation so ownership and evidence remain visible.
+
+Scheduler cadence follows `quota should-run.scheduler_hint`; installed Codex
+App automations acknowledge the current hint through the returned
+`ack_hint.cli_args`. Collision recovery, monitor semantics, self-repair, and
+the exact operator commands are maintained in
+[Getting Started](docs/guides/getting-started.md),
+[Quota Allocation](docs/quota-allocation.md), and
+[Long-Task Cadence Policy](docs/operations/long-task-cadence-policy.md).
+
+Before publishing public docs or examples:

+```bash
+loopx check \
+  --scan-path README.md \
+  --scan-path docs/ \
+  --scan-path examples/
+```
+
+## Current Technical Directions
+
+LoopX has three active strategic programs plus an architecture and research
+incubator. These are direction signals, not delivery promises; `main`, released
+artifacts, and stable reference contracts remain the source of shipped truth.
+
+- **Long-Horizon Benchmarks and Evidence:** reproducible capability evidence
+  and controlled mechanism research across complementary benchmark
+  environments. [Direction tracker](https://github.com/loopx-project/loopx/issues/3243)
+- **Operator Surface and IM Integration:** an operator workspace, session
+  records, and bounded collaboration surfaces. The Personal Workspace is
+  shipped; unified steward, execution, and recovery journeys remain under
+  qualification, with `@maxliux5` as implementation lead.
+  [Direction tracker](https://github.com/loopx-project/loopx/issues/3244)
+- **Shared Goal Authority and Cross-host Coordination:** provider-neutral
+  coordination for explicitly shared goals, with NoKV as an unpromoted
+  provider candidate rather than a new control-plane authority.
+  [Direction tracker](https://github.com/loopx-project/loopx/issues/3245)
+- **Architecture and Research Incubator:** Effect Program hardening,
+  TypeScript parity migration, hierarchical stride, research exploration,
+  human attention, artifact lifecycle, and memory utility work at explicitly
+  different maturity levels.
+  [Direction tracker](https://github.com/loopx-project/loopx/issues/3246)
+
+Read the canonical
+[Technical Directions map](docs/project/technical-directions.md) for stages,
+promotion gates, contributor-safe cuts, and ownership boundaries. Use the
+pinned [GitHub Discussion](https://github.com/loopx-project/loopx/discussions/2851)
+for community discussion. Core control-plane reliability continues as the
+shared foundation beneath these programs.

+## Contributing
+
+External contributors should start with
+[Contributor Tasks](docs/development/contributor-tasks.md) for public, claimable work and
+[Contributing](CONTRIBUTING.md) for setup, validation, and boundary rules.
+Project roles and public history are recorded in
+[Governance](.github/GOVERNANCE.md),
+[Authors and Contributors](docs/project/authors.md), and
+[Project History](docs/project/history.md).
+
+LoopX keeps local active state separate from the public repository. Do not
+commit `.loopx/`, legacy `.codex/goals/`, live `ACTIVE_GOAL_STATE.md`, raw benchmark
+traces, credentials, private logs, or operator artifacts.
+
+## Current Status
+
+LoopX 1.0 is a usable local control plane for long-running agent work and is
+entering broader adoption. It is not a full agent platform, an agent runtime, or
+an autonomous production controller.
+
+Today LoopX ships a durable state kernel for goals, typed todos and decision
+scopes, peer claims and leases, evidence and writeback, quota-aware scheduling,
+and cross-turn continuation. Guided start, recurring heartbeat, isolated Codex
+CLI turns, evidence-backed Issue-Fix admission, optional Explore and auto
+research paths, public validation canaries, and the multi-project Personal
+Workspace all build on that shared control state.
+
+Support levels remain explicit. The state and CLI contracts are the stable
+center; several host integrations and advanced paths are optional, default-off,
+or experimental. LoopX does not grant credentials, approve destructive or
+production actions, publish on a user's behalf without authorization, or turn
+an unverified run into evidence of success.
+
+Current investment is organized through the
+[Technical Directions map](docs/project/technical-directions.md): long-horizon
+benchmark evidence, operator surface and IM integration, shared-goal cross-host
+coordination, and an explicitly staged architecture and research incubator.
