Autopilot

Autopilot

$deep-interview -> $ralplan -> $ultragoal

The chain is not a list of optional hints and Autopilot is not an alias for direct execution. Autopilot supervises each child stage in one recoverable session, carries durable artifacts forward, and continues through implementation verification until the requested outcome is complete or a genuine blocker is recorded.

1. deep-interview — clarify intent, scope, non-goals, constraints, acceptance criteria, and unresolved decisions. Produce a durable requirements/specification handoff. Deep Interview is a real stage; do not replace it with a one-question check or skip it merely because the task looks actionable.
2. ralplan — turn the clarified requirements into an execution-ready consensus plan with architecture, sequencing, test, and verification guidance. Preserve review evidence as lifecycle evidence, not host-issued security authority.
3. ultragoal — execute the approved plan through durable goals and ledger receipts, implementation, focused verification, cleanup, review, and terminal evidence.

$team, $code-review, and $ultraqa may be used inside the supervised execution when the active Ultragoal plan or verification boundary requires them. They do not replace or weaken the defining three-stage chain.

When review or QA proves the requirements or plan wrong, keep Autopilot active, return its supervised phase to ralplan, attach the findings, and continue through ultragoal again. Implementation-only review fixes may remain within Ultragoal's blocker/review loop.

Start or update state only through the CLI-first state surface:

omx state write --input '{"mode":"autopilot","active":true,"current_phase":"deep-interview","state":{"phase_cycle":["deep-interview","ralplan","ultragoal"],"handoff_artifacts":{"deep_interview":null,"ralplan":null,"ultragoal":null},"return_to_ralplan_reason":null}}' --json

Stage transitions:

• deep-interview -> ralplan: require a durable clarified requirements/specification artifact and a non-empty completion rationale. Preserve same-session question evidence when a question surface was used.
• ralplan -> ultragoal: require durable planning artifacts, sequential Architect then Critic approvals, and a session/review-cycle-bound ralplan_execution_handoff. For supervised Autopilot, the explicit Autopilot request is the source of that bound handoff. Ordinary progression MUST NOT depend on a host-issued consensus receipt; missing host provenance is not a blocker.
• ultragoal -> complete: require durable goal/ledger completion receipts and fresh verification evidence matching the requested outcome.
• review/QA loopback: keep Autopilot active, set current_phase:"ralplan", and persist return_to_ralplan_reason plus the findings.
• cancellation: run $cancel; preserve handoff artifacts for inspection or resume and mark the exact session terminal without deleting unrelated state.
• clear/recovery: exact-session clear may remove corrupt or stale Autopilot state. It must not require forward-progression evidence and must not clear other skills or sessions.

• deep-interview: resume clarification and produce the requirements handoff.
• ralplan: resume consensus planning from the deep-interview artifact and any loopback findings.
• ultragoal: resume durable execution from the approved plan and ledger.
• complete: report the terminal evidence; do not restart.
• cancelled, cleared, or failed: report preserved artifacts and start a new run only on a new explicit Autopilot request.

Never discard valid handoff artifacts or restart discovery merely because the conversation resumed.

• A stale, malformed, cancelled, cleared, complete, or foreign-session state must not keep Stop blocked.
• $cancel, exact-session state clear, and setup hook disable/uninstall paths must remain executable while Autopilot is active or damaged.
• Continuation must be bounded and session-scoped; never recreate an unconditional hook lock.
