<!-- Revised 2026-08-07 — outside-adopter references anonymized ahead of open-sourcing;
     substance, dates, and numbers unchanged. -->

## Wins

- alex: Got started with running okrdev in a real outside repo with at least 1 other person.

## KR confidence

| KR | DRI | Prev | Now | Δ | Evidence/note |
|----|-----|------|-----|---|---------------|
| KR1.1 | alex | 0.8 | 0.8 | → | plan → PR → active on schedule; first check-in filed (1 of ≥6 for the 0.7 anchor) |
| KR1.2 | alex | 0.5 | 0.6 | ↑ | Outside project Level 0 installed + merged; ≥2-weeks-of-use clock started ~2026-07-30 |
| KR1.3 | alex | 0.5 | 0.5 | → | 3 real chafe points found in week one, 0 fixes merged — pipeline exists, output doesn't yet |
| KR2.1 | alex | 0.5 | 0.6 | ↑ | first datapoint: author's outside-project install = 9 min curiosity→merged (scribe's bump — DRI may correct) |
| KR2.2 | alex | 0.5 | 0.5 | → | untouched this week, by design (week one went to activation + the outside install) |

## What moved

Covers cycle activation (2026-07-23) → 2026-W31. 6 commits on main, PR #1 merged, all
substantive work tagged `KR: 1.1`.

- **KR1.1** — cycle planned, pressure-tested, PR'd, signed off, activated (ids frozen).
  Parking lot in live use: 4 captures across 2 sessions this week.
- **KR1.2** — okrdev Level 0 installed into the outside project via PR, merged by
  its DRI. Install verified clean: footprint exactly `okrdev/` + the marked CLAUDE.md block,
  appended without touching the host repo's extensive working agreement.
- **KR2.1** (non-code ledger) — first time-to-value datapoint: the outside install took
  **9 minutes** end-to-end. Caveat for the baseline: that's the framework's author installing;
  a naive-user measurement is still needed.
- Dogfooding also surfaced 3 method chafe points (state-writes vs protected main, issues-native
  capture, okrdev's own main unprotected) — parked, triaged below, now KR1.3 work.

## What's blocked

Nothing blocked.

## Health metrics

| Metric | Red line | Now | OK? |
|--------|----------|-----|-----|
| docs/skills cross-file coherence | reviewer-class contradiction on main >1 week | none known shipped | OK |
| Install footprint | anything beyond `okrdev/` + marked CLAUDE.md block | verified exact on the outside install | OK |
| Coach nag rate | interrupts obviously-maintenance work even once | zero interruptions observed | OK |

## Drift check

Clean. Every substantive change in the window carries `KR: 1.1`; remaining commits are
state writes (parks) and the install itself (maintenance-shaped). No orphans, no
`emergency`-tagged work, maintenance share ~0% — no taxonomy flags.

## Judgment calls

- 2026-07-30 — alex — scribe set KR2.1 Now to 0.6 on the 9-minute datapoint (arrived after
  the pre-draft's "hold 0.5" suggestion); DRI to correct next week if too generous — main
- 2026-07-30 — alex — 7 monorepo-guidance items in Promoted tagged `→ next-cycle candidate`
  per coach recommendation, not itemized rulings — say the word to re-open any — main

## Parking lot triage

All 7 Captured items decided (DRI approved coach recommendations 7/7); Captured is empty.

- Template-validation CI → **promoted → KR1.3** (defends the coherence health metric)
- Native quick-capture app → **archived** (superseded by issues-as-capture-inbox)
- `/okrdev:uninstall` skill → **promoted → next-cycle candidate**
- Web dashboard → **archived** (explicit v0 non-goal)
- Issues-as-capture-inbox → **promoted → KR1.3** (flagship dogfood fix)
- Protected-main guidance → **promoted → KR1.3** (bundled with ↓)
- No-commits-to-main for okrdev + best practice → **promoted → KR1.3** (sequence: redesign
  state writes first, then protect main — protecting first would make every park a CI run)

Side quests: none open. Box-hours this week: 0 of 4 — no budget concerns.

## Focus for next week

- alex: Ship the state-writes-on-protected-main bundle (issues-inbox + batched writes +
  protect okrdev's main) → KR1.3
- alex: Keep the outside project alive — park real ideas there, first triage with its
  other collaborator → KR1.2
- alex: Time one clean naive-user install end-to-end → KR2.1
