Development record
2026-09-22 — The control-programme idea is REFRAMED, not adopted as put (product thinker, after the ideate gauntlet; research/notes/2026-09-22-ideate-abcd-operator-console.md). Two kill attempts were fatal to the idea as stated: it named the product thinker as the configurer of operator-register material, which adr-2609151528057260 bars, and it made harness-less operation the destination, inverting the host-delegated boundary whose reversal itd-2609201916151817 records as opt-in only. The reframing, adopted: an operator console SERVED BY THE BINARY over local web (no new dependency), which is also the resident process that hosts the opt-in process driver, with a separate product-thinker pane in their own register (open stops, the plain-language verdict, the pace) — the web page itd-167 already decided on; configuration stays operator-side; many repositories waits for a registered-checkout store; a localhost surface that accepts secrets needs a per-launch token; the whole sequenced after the runner and routing intents; and it must carry a falsifier, since no evidence exists that a GUI control plane beats a CLI plus a status page. Ruled with it: where abcd runs as the binary with no host session, the fallback is a HOST THE OPERATOR CONFIGURED (their main connector), never nothing; and EVERY fall back to the host is recorded — a receipt per event and a count per runner and per role in the run record — as intel on what to improve (itd-2609201916056194, planned; itd-22 widened so that "any harness" includes none).
