+## [5.12.0] - 2026-06-11 - v5.12 release: The Closed Loop (autonomy Level 3)
+
+**Closed-Loop arc, Cycle 6 of 7.** Integrate everything into one continual design→build→test→learn cycle —
+humans/lab in control, no fabrication, drift-aware. Reaches **autonomy Level 3** (the program's honest ceiling).
+Workstreams WS-{LOOP,CONTINUAL,DRIFT} (+ WS-DEMO, WS-AUTONOMY), SHA-locked.
+
+### Added
+- **WS-LOOP** — `pen_stack/loop/cycle.py`: `run_loop(goal, cell_state, …)` orchestrates every prior cycle each
+  round — generate (v5.8) → decide/batch (v5.10) → **safety-gated** export (v5.7 + v5.11) → run (sim-lab v5.11 /
+  real lab) → ingest (v4.5 gate) → drift (v5.12) → continual learn (v5.12). **Gated**: safety, build, and
+  belief-admission each await the `approver`. Returns `autonomy_level=3`, `human_in_control=True`,
+  `no_fabrication=True`. A hazardous candidate is discarded by the safety-gated pipeline before it is ever run.
+- **WS-DRIFT** — `pen_stack/loop/drift.py`: `detect_drift(designs, results)` compares the v5.9 twin's predictions
+  vs observed readouts; growing miscalibration → `severity:"high"` → `inflate_intervals` (widen, don't over-trust).
+- **WS-CONTINUAL** — `pen_stack/loop/continual.py`: `continual_update(...)` recalibrates trust + twin + immune
+  proxies on **admitted outcomes only**; each update is **versioned + reversible** (`rollback_to`); high drift
+  widens intervals; an admitted immune measurement **with a CI** can graduate a v5.6 proxy → outcome-validated.
+  Recalibration, **not** foundation-model retraining.
+- **WS-DEMO + WS-AUTONOMY** — `loop_converges_faster_than_random` reports the active-vs-random convergence with a
+  bootstrap CI (retrospective/simulated, honest either way); `docs/autonomy.md` asserts the **Level-3 criteria**
+  (closed loop · human in control at every gate · anomaly flagging · no fabrication) and that Levels 4/5 are
+  **not** claimed.
+- **WS-BENCH** — bench **v0.3.8**: new `closed_loop` hard-gate task — the gate is the loop's integrity (gated
+  end-to-end run + no-fabrication + Level-3 human-in-control + drift detection + versioned/reversible continual
+  learning); an ungated autopilot fails by construction. Convergence reported informationally.
+- Docs: `docs/{closed_loop,autonomy}.md`; prereg `ws_{loop,continual,drift}` + SHA locks; deposit `phase_5.12/`.
+
+### Notes
+- The loop is **Level 3 — closed, but with humans/lab in control at every gate, NOT autonomous.** It runs in
+  silico via the sim-lab (a real lab attaches at the same interface); continual learning recalibrates rather than
+  retrains; drift covers calibration/residual shift, not all failures; the convergence demo is retrospective/
+  simulated, reported with CIs.
+

+# Autonomy levels — PEN-STACK stops at Level 3 (v5.12, WS-AUTONOMY)
+
+PEN-STACK's closed loop (v5.12) is a **Level-3** design→build→test→learn engine: closed, but with **humans/lab in
+control at every gate**. This is the program's deliberate, honest ceiling — not Level 5.
+
+## The levels (for self-driving labs)
+
+| Level | Description | PEN-STACK |
+|---|---|---|
+| 0 | Manual — a human does everything | — |
+| 1 | Assisted — tools score/check, human decides each step | v3.3 verifier |
+| 2 | Partial — the system proposes designs + experiments; human runs + decides | v5.8–v5.11 |
+| **3** | **Closed loop with human control at every gate** — the system runs the full cycle, but pauses for human approval at safety, build, and belief-admission, and flags anomalies | **v5.12 (here)** |
+| 4 | Supervised autonomy — runs many cycles with human oversight, escalating exceptions | not claimed |
+| 5 | Full autonomy — no human in the loop | **not claimed; not a goal** |
+
+## What "Level 3" means here (asserted criteria)
+
+1. **Closed loop.** One command runs generate → predict → decide → safety → build → ingest → learn end-to-end
+   (`run_loop`), in silico (sim-lab) or with a real lab at the same interface.
+2. **Human in control at every gate.** The loop pauses for the `approver` at **safety** (export is refused for a
+   flagged design), **build** (protocols are DRAFTs requiring human/lab review), and **belief-admission** (results
+   enter the curated world-model only via the v4.5 gate with explicit approval).
+3. **Anomaly flagging.** Drift between predictions and observations is detected and **widens uncertainty** rather
+   than over-trusting a stale model; continual updates are versioned + reversible.
+4. **No fabrication.** Every number is tool-sourced; no stage invents a value.
+
+## What PEN-STACK deliberately does NOT do
+
+- It does **not** run experiments autonomously (protocols are drafts; a human/lab runs them).
+- It does **not** auto-edit the curated world-model (admission requires human approval).
+- It does **not** retrain the foundation models (continual learning is recalibration).
+- It does **not** claim Level 4 or 5. The human is in the loop by design.
+
+> Level 3 is a trustworthy ceiling: a closed, gated, drift-aware loop that a scientist drives — not an autonomous
+> agent acting in the world. The convergence demonstration is retrospective/simulated, reported with CIs.

+# The closed loop (v5.12)
+
+From v5.12, PEN-STACK integrates every prior cycle into one continual **design→build→test→learn** loop — humans/lab
+in control at every gate, no fabrication, drift-aware. One command runs it end-to-end.
+
+```python
+from pen_stack.loop import run_loop
+result = run_loop(goal, cell_state="k562", candidates=pool, rounds=5, approver="human")
+result["autonomy_level"]      # 3
+result["human_in_control"]    # True
+result["history"]             # per-round: n, blocked, best_readout, drift, versioned update
+```
+
+## The DBTL orchestrator (`pen_stack/loop/cycle.py`)
+
+Each round composes the whole stack:
+
+1. **generate** (v5.8) — safe + legal + calibrated + immune-profiled candidates (the verifier-as-discriminator
+   discards hazardous/illegal proposals);
+2. **decide** (v5.10) — `select_batch` picks a diverse, informative batch (EIG + immune-VOI);
+3. **safety + build** (v5.7 + v5.11) — `export_protocol` is **safety-gated** (a flagged design is blocked);
+4. **test** (v5.11) — `run_simulated` (sim-lab) or a real lab at the same interface;
+5. **ingest** (v4.5) — results enter as candidate evidence, admitted only through the gate;
+6. **drift** (v5.12) — predicted vs observed;
+7. **learn** (v5.12) — `continual_update` recalibrates, versioned + reversible.
+
+The loop **pauses for the approver at safety, build, and belief-admission** — it is not autonomous.
+
+## Drift detection (`pen_stack/loop/drift.py`)
+
+`detect_drift(designs, results)` compares the twin's predictions against observed readouts. Growing
+miscalibration → `severity: "high"` → `action: "inflate_intervals"` — widen uncertainty rather than over-trust a
+stale model. Covers calibration/residual shift, not every failure mode.
+
+## Continual learning (`pen_stack/loop/continual.py`)
+
+`continual_update(admitted_results, drift=…, approver=…, prev_version=…)` recalibrates the trust layer, the v5.9
+twin, and the v5.6 immune proxies **on admitted outcomes only**. Every update is **versioned** (evidence digest)
+and **reversible** (`rollback_to` the prior version), attributable to the approver. High drift widens intervals.
+An admitted immune measurement **with a CI** can move a v5.6 axis proxy → outcome-validated. This is
+**recalibration, not foundation-model retraining**.
+
+## Convergence demonstration
+
+`loop_converges_faster_than_random` reports — retrospectively, with a bootstrap CI — whether the loop's active
+Learn stage reaches a target model quality in fewer rounds than random selection (the v5.10 validation). It is
+reported honestly either way; the demonstration is retrospective/simulated.
+
+## Honest scope
+
+The loop is **Level 3** — closed, but with humans/lab in control at every gate, **not autonomous**. It runs in
+silico via the sim-lab (a real lab attaches at the same interface); continual learning recalibrates rather than
+retrains; drift detection covers calibration/residual shift, not all failures; immune-proxy graduation requires an
+admitted measurement with a CI. See [Autonomy levels](autonomy.md).
