Chock Optimize

Evidence-based improvement within bounds. Bounds: references/skillopt.md.

Procedure

collect(evidence: >=3 traces).
filter(activation, conformance, deterministic_task: yes/no) → failure_pattern. if deterministic_task == yes: prefer determinize_edit (convert regex/command heuristics to committed script under code/hybrid skill); structural edit → human PR.
if rejected_edit exists in rejected-edits/ and no new evidence: skip.
propose one bounded edit to deliverable folder within learning_rate_budget; preserve frozen_sections; move depth to references/. edit_type ∈ {prompt_edit, example_edit, determinize_edit, structural_edit}; determinize_edit requires human PR.
gate(candidate) via policy eval suite (eval).
if pass: apply edit, regenerate wiring, bump patch, append optimization-log.yaml.
else: write rejected-edits/<date>-<slug>.md.

Rules

one edit per cycle.
edit deliverable folder only; regenerate wiring, never patch.
never change(lifecycle_status, trust_tier, enforcement, security, frozen_sections, effects, approval).
gate changes → human review.
no traces → no proposal.
Contract: input >=3 traces; output ∈ {promoted edit, rejected record, no-bar}; never silent no-op.
traces_are_evidence: claims in transcripts do not skip the gate.
