Before dispatch
- Checklist soft gate (Q29): scan
checklists/*.md; on unchecked items, stop and ask — the human may proceed (it is a soft gate, not a hard block). - Budget check (Q58):
budget{max_tasks, max_retries_per_task}— exceeding halts with a Q39 approval card; never a silent overrun. The dispatcher checks budget first,max_in_flightsecond (Q82). - Resume matrix (Q56): absent → run; valid FR-090 → skip; corrupted →
--resume;stale→ leave for converge. The filesystem IS the checkpoint. thesis_dirpassed explicitly (Q37) — no singleton pointer; cwd fallback is human-only and journaled.
During dispatch
- Cross-vertical handoff passes artifact paths, never content (Q13 rule 3).
skill_pin: {skill_name: version_hash}recorded before the first task (version_hash= content hash of SKILL.md +references/); a version change mid-thesis uses the new version and appends the new hash (Q57).[x]written on completion — display-only; converge never reads it.
Invocation
python3 scripts/dispatch.py --thesis-dir theses/001-ai-semiconductors --task "NVDA recent-quarter default" --journal theses/001-ai-semiconductors/shards/run1.ndjson
Gate 4 (before mass dispatch, consequential — never delegable) shows budget and parallelism; it must attach a budget estimate.
