+## [7.0.0] - 2026-06-22 - Closed loop: a biosecurity-gated, Level-3 self-driving-lab engine
+
+The capstone. Turns the in-silico closed loop into a genome-writing-specific, biosecurity-gated, autonomy-honest
+(Level 3) self-driving-lab engine: a cloud-lab connector, a benchmark of the experiment designer against the
+public optimizers, and a validation-campaign engine that points active learning at the measurements which would
+earn the program's first outcome-validated axis. It consumes the WriteSpec and pairs with the biosecurity gate.
+Full autonomy is not claimed; the wet run is the named bottleneck.
+
+### Added
+- **Cloud-lab connector** (`pen_stack/build/cloudlab.py`). `submit_gated` bridges the build interface to a cloud
+  lab. The biosecurity gate runs BEFORE any submission: a flagged or illegal design raises and emits no protocol
+  (a ricin design is refused), returning a structured refusal an agent can branch on; a cleared design returns a
+  mock / dry-run job receipt. A returned readout is admitted only through an explicit human-in-control gate.
+- **SDL-brain benchmark** (`pen_stack/active/brains.py`). Benchmarks the EIG/VOI experiment designer against the
+  public self-driving-lab optimizers BayBE (Apache-2.0) and Atlas on a shared acquisition task, reported verbatim
+  with both cited. The designer shows a positive mean information-gain advantage over random whose bootstrap CI is
+  rep-sensitive and includes 0 at higher rep counts; reported as not-CI-significant, not hidden.
+- **Validation-campaign engine** (`pen_stack/active/campaign.py`). Orders the candidate
+  (cassette x locus x cell type) expression measurements by expected information gain, names the
+  `validate.calibrate_axis` gate they would flip, and emits an executable, cloud-lab-submittable campaign spec.
+  The campaign measures independent data, never the model's own outputs.
+- **Loop-Bench** (`benchmarks/loop/`) reporting the three gates, and surfaces: REST `GET /api/campaign`,
+  `POST /api/cloudlab`, `GET /api/brains`; MCP `validation_campaign`, `cloudlab_submit`; `docs/closed_loop.md`.
+
+### Notes
+- The loop is Level 3 (human in control); Level 4-5 is not claimed. The biosecurity gate is necessary, not
+  sufficient (the full sequence screen is the downstream BioFirewall).
+- A real wet run, and thus the first outcome-validated axis, needs a cloud-lab partner and budget; the connector
+  and the executable campaign are the mechanism, the partner is the bottleneck, surfaced not hidden.
+
+## [6.14.0] - 2026-06-22 - WriteSpec: a typed, ontology-backed intent layer with a grounded extractor and a feasibility check
+
+Replaces the keyword parser with a typed, machine-checkable genome-writing request (an SBOL3 profile), a grounded
+prose-to-spec extractor that labels every inference and never fabricates intent, and a feasibility check. This is
+the agentic front-end: one contract the whole stack consumes. A WriteSpec is a request, not a claim.
+
+### Added
+- **The WriteRequest type** (`pen_stack/spec/writespec.py`, `schemas/writespec.json`). A typed model carrying the
+  write semantics (write-type, cargo with Sequence-Ontology roles, target gene/locus/att-site/phenotype, cell
+  type, constraints) plus a per-field provenance map (explicit / inferred / user / unresolved). Lossless JSON
+  round-trip; SBOL3 round-trip via the real `sbol3` library (the `[spec]` extra; native Components + SO roles for
+  interoperability); GenBank export for a cargo with a sequence; and `to_legacy_design`, the adapter that lets
+  every existing stage consume a WriteRequest without a rewrite.
+- **Vocabulary resolvers** (`pen_stack/spec/resolvers/`). Free text to canonical id: HGNC genes (atlas-grounded),
+  Cellosaurus / Cell Ontology cell types, Sequence Ontology feature roles, MONDO phenotypes, ChEBI molecules,
+  GRCh38 coordinates. Every curated id was verified against the live ontology services before commit; an
+  unresolved term stays null, never invented.
+- **Grounded extractor + clarifying-question planner** (`pen_stack/spec/extract.py`, `clarify.py`). A
+  deterministic backbone (so the benchmark is reproducible) that labels every inferred field, asks a clarifying
+  question for anything underspecified or ambiguous, and keeps unresolved terms null.
+- **Feasibility check** (`pen_stack/spec/satisfy.py`). Wraps reachability (the atlas), deliverability (the
+  delivery recommender), and legality (the verification proof object) into feasible / infeasible plus named
+  blocking constraints and repair hints; feasibility is necessary, not sufficient (not efficacy).
+- **WriteSpec-Bench** (`benchmarks/writespec/`). The first prose-to-write-spec corpus, grounded in real
+  experiments, with an ambiguity subset and a sealed held-out. Reported verbatim: sealed-test structural fidelity
+  1.0 and value accuracy 0.96 versus a 0.46 keyword-dict baseline; inferred-field labelling recall 1.0.
+- **Surfaces**: REST `POST /api/writespec`, MCP `writespec_parse`, the manifest tool, the web "Describe a Write"
+  builder page, and `docs/writespec_profile.md` + `docs/writespec_bench.md`.
+
+### Notes
+- Feasibility rules out unreachable / undeliverable / illegal, not whether the write will work.
+- The extractor backbone is deterministic; an LLM pass is optional and adds no ground truth (it may only propose
+  values that still pass the resolvers).
+

+# WriteSpec-Bench (Stage A)
+
+WriteSpec-Bench is the first prose-to-write-spec benchmark for genome writing: paired
+`(plain-language request -> gold WriteSpec)`, grounded in real, well-documented genome-writing experiments
+(cited per row). It is `benchmarks/writespec/` (corpus, splits, harness, metrics).
+
+## Construction
+
+- Each gold WriteSpec is the structured value a careful curator extracts: write-type, target kind, the gene
+  (HGNC) or phenotype (MONDO) id, the cell (Cellosaurus / Cell Ontology) id, the cargo Sequence-Ontology role
+  set, and the key constraints. Every ontology id was verified against the live services before commit.
+- The **standard** subset is fully specified. The **ambiguity** subset is deliberately underspecified or
+  ambiguous, to test that the extractor surfaces assumptions and asks clarifying questions rather than guessing.
+- **Leakage control**: the test split is sealed and disjoint from train (`splits.json`); paraphrases do not
+  co-occur across splits.
+
+## Scoring (SO-Bench-style)
+
+- **schema adherence**: the output validates as a typed `WriteRequest`.
+- **structural fidelity**: write_type and target_kind match the gold.
+- **value accuracy**: canonical-id match for gene / phenotype / cell, the cargo role set, and the listed
+  constraints.
+- **grounding**: on the ambiguity subset, clarifying questions fire and the inferred write_type is labelled;
+  inferred-field labelling recall must be 100% (no field is set without provenance).
+
+The baseline is the legacy keyword dictionary (`web.tools.parse_goal`), which emits raw tokens, not canonical
+ids.
+
+## Results (reported verbatim, deterministic extractor, not tuned to the sealed test)
+
+- Sealed test: schema adherence 1.0, structural fidelity 1.0, value accuracy 0.964; baseline value accuracy
+  0.464.
+- Train: structural fidelity 1.0, value accuracy 0.988; baseline 0.407.
+- Ambiguity subset: clarifying questions fire, inferred write_type labelled.
+- Inferred-field labelling recall: 1.0.
+
+The extractor beats the keyword-dict baseline because it resolves terms to verified ontology ids; the baseline
+keeps raw tokens. The corpus is small and curated, grounded in real experiments; its value is bounded by curation
+quality, reported verbatim. Two structural mismatches found during development were genuine extractor bugs (a
+cell-line token mis-read as a gene; a disease prioritized over a named gene target), fixed in the extractor, not
+papered over in the gold.
+
+The full per-run metrics are in `benchmarks/writespec/writespec_bench_metrics.json`; re-run with
+`python -m benchmarks.writespec.harness`.

+# The WriteSpec profile (Stage A)
+
+WriteSpec is a typed, ontology-backed, machine-checkable representation of a genome-writing request. It replaces
+the keyword parser with one contract every downstream stage consumes, and it is an SBOL3 profile, so it is
+interoperable with the genetic-design-automation ecosystem and GenBank from day one. A WriteSpec is a request,
+not a claim.
+
+## The type
+
+`WriteRequest` (`pen_stack/spec/writespec.py`) carries:
+
+- **write_type**: one of insertion, excision, inversion, replacement, regulatory_rewrite, landing_pad_install,
+  multiplex.
+- **cargo**: a list of components, each with a Sequence-Ontology role (promoter `SO:0000167`, CDS `SO:0000316`,
+  polyA signal `SO:0000551`, insulator `SO:0000627`, ...) and an optional sequence and length.
+- **target**: the edit site, as a gene (HGNC), a locus (GRCh38 coordinate), an att/landing site, or, when only a
+  disease goal is given, a phenotype (MONDO). A named gene or att site is the target; a disease is attached as the
+  goal.
+- **cell_type**: a Cellosaurus cell line (HEK293T `CVCL_0063`) or a Cell-Ontology cell type (T cell `CL:0000084`),
+  carrying the irreducible subline / karyotype-drift caveat.
+- **constraints**: efficiency floor, scarless, safety-switch-required, copy number, germline guardrail, max cargo
+  bp, delivery limit / vehicle, and a ChEBI small-molecule inducer.
+
+## The grounding discipline
+
+Every field records its provenance in the `provenance` map: `explicit` (stated in the prose), `inferred`
+(defaulted, with the rationale in `assumptions`), `user` (supplied through a structured override), or
+`unresolved`. A required field that is unspecified or ambiguous yields a `clarifications` question rather than a
+guess. A term that cannot be resolved is listed in `unresolved` and its field stays null. Nothing is invented.
+
+All curated ontology ids were verified against the live services (Cellosaurus, EBI OLS for SO / MONDO / CL /
+ChEBI) before they were committed; a resolver degrades to `unresolved`, never a fabricated id.
+
+## Round-trips and the downstream adapter
+
+- **JSON**: always available (`to_json` / `from_json`), lossless.
+- **SBOL3**: `to_sbol3` / `from_sbol3` via the real `sbol3` library (the `[spec]` extra). The export emits native
+  Components with Sequence-Ontology roles for interoperability and carries the full typed spec losslessly in a
+  PROV-O-namespaced annotation.
+- **GenBank**: `to_genbank` exports the cargo as a GenBank record when it carries a DNA sequence (intent-only
+  specs return None).
+- **`to_legacy_design`**: the adapter that emits the dict the existing stages (verify / plan / safety / delivery)
+  already consume, so the whole stack reads one contract without a per-stage rewrite.
+
+## Feasibility
+
+`pen_stack/spec/satisfy.py` tests the necessary conditions a write must meet by wrapping the existing stages:
+reachability (the writable-genome atlas), deliverability (the Stage D recommender), and legality (the Stage F
+rule set, via the repair-oriented proof object). It returns feasible or infeasible plus the named blocking
+constraint(s) and repair hints, so an agent can repair the spec and re-check. Feasibility is necessary, not
+sufficient: it rules out unreachable / undeliverable / illegal, not whether the write will work (that is the
+downstream stages' calibrated prediction).
+
+## Surfaces
+
+- REST `POST /api/writespec` (body `{prose, overrides?, check_feasibility?}`).
+- MCP `writespec_parse`.
+- The web "Describe a Write" builder page.
