+  tracking issue for each increment and dispatches Codex there, so every run gets

+  a `CODEX_TRIGGER_TOKEN` repo secret from a user account Codex responds to;
  without that secret the workflow deliberately no-ops to avoid ignored bot
-  comments. See `.github/workflows/continuous-improvement.yml` and the mechanics
-  below.
-
-## How the durable loop works (mechanics)
-
-Hard-won wiring — change any one piece and the loop silently stops producing
-merged PRs. Each scheduled run:
-
-1. **Opens a fresh issue per increment** (`Continuous improvement increment #N`)
-   and posts the `@codex` instruction on it. *Why a fresh issue:* Codex derives
-   its branch name from the triggering issue's context, so re-using one tracker
-   issue collapses every run onto one branch name and only the first PR opens —
-   the rest collide and silently fail.
-2. **Posts as a user, not the Actions bot.** Codex ignores `@codex` comments
-   authored by `github-actions[bot]`, so the dispatch uses `CODEX_TRIGGER_TOKEN`
-   (a PAT for a user account Codex follows). No token → the step no-ops.
-3. **Codex opens the PR itself with `gh` — never `make_pr`.** In the Codex Cloud
-   sandbox the `make_pr` tool is a **no-op stub**: it records the PR title/body
-   for the manual "Create PR" button and never pushes a branch or calls the API.
-   So the dispatch and [`AGENTS.md`](../../AGENTS.md) tell Codex to do it by hand:
-
-   ```sh
-   git switch -c codex/increment-<issue>     # unique branch, codex/ prefix
-   git push -u origin codex/increment-<issue>
-   gh pr create --base master --label codex --title "…" --body "… Closes #<issue>"
-   gh pr merge  --squash --auto --delete-branch
-   ```
-
-   This requires the Codex setup script to install `gh` and run `gh auth
-   setup-git` (so `git push` is authenticated) with a write-scoped token.
-4. **Merges via GitHub native auto-merge, gated by branch protection.** `master`
-   requires the CI status checks (build, tests, golangci-lint) and **0 approving
-   reviews**. `gh pr merge --auto` enables auto-merge; GitHub lands the PR the
-   moment checks pass and deletes the branch. `Closes #<issue>` auto-closes the
-   tracking issue. There is **no merge sweep workflow** — branch protection is
-   the gate.
-
-### Do-not-break list
-
- **Don't re-add required approvals** to `master` — it blocks every autonomous
-  merge. The intended gate is **green CI only**.
- **Don't point the dispatch at one standing tracker issue** — one issue per run.
- **Don't tell Codex to use `make_pr`** (or imply a token "isn't a substitute"):
-  it cannot open a PR. `gh` is the only path.
- **Don't manually re-implement a Codex increment during the summary→PR lag**
-  (Codex posts an optimistic "opened a PR" comment ~30–45 min before the PR
-  actually appears). Re-doing it creates duplicate PRs and stale branches that
-  then block the next run. Wait for the PR, or let it ride.

-## Overseer passes (DevRel + Architect)
-
-The hourly loop ships increments; two periodic passes keep the *whole* heading in
-the right direction. Both use the same mechanism (fresh issue → `@codex` →
-output) but produce direction and coherence, not just code.
-
- **DevRel — daily** (`.github/workflows/devrel-review.yml`). Audits the public
-  surface (README, website landing + docs, blog) for coherence with the North
-  Star, README crispness, and blog-worthy material. **Autonomy boundary:** safe
-  factual-alignment and crispness fixes auto-merge like any increment;
-  brand/positioning copy and blog drafts are *surfaced in a report* for the
-  human, never auto-merged.
- **Architect — every few days** (`.github/workflows/architecture-review.yml`).
-  Reviews the framework/harness against the thesis: API coherence, lifecycle
-  gaps, drift/sprawl. **Its output is an assessment plus scoped follow-up
-  issues** that feed the hourly increment loop — it does **not** make breaking or
-  architectural changes itself (those stay with the human).
-
-Together they close the loop: the architect decides *what* should change and files
-issues, the increment loop *builds* them, and DevRel keeps the public story
-honest. Cadence is tunable in each workflow's `cron`. Codex is serial, so these
-passes queue behind any in-flight increment rather than running concurrently.

-# How Go Micro Builds Itself
-
-*June 25, 2026 • By the Go Micro Team*
-
-Go Micro is an agent harness. The most honest test of that claim is to use agents to build it — so increasingly, we do. A scheduled loop of two AI agents now opens issues, writes increments, and merges its own pull requests against this repo, on a cadence, with a human setting direction rather than typing the code.
-
-This isn't a stunt. If a harness is good enough to operate a loop that builds itself, that's evidence it's good enough to operate the loop that builds *your* software. So we pointed the thesis at itself and wired up the loop. This post is how it actually works — including the parts that didn't, because the failure modes are the interesting part.
-
-## Two agents and a human
-
-The work splits across three roles:
-
- **Codex** is the serial builder. It takes one scoped task at a time, implements it, runs the build, tests, and linter, and opens a pull request.
- **Claude Code** is the orchestrator: it sets up the machinery, reviews, integrates, and handles the judgment calls Codex shouldn't make alone.
- **The human** sets direction and owns taste — brand and positioning copy, breaking public API changes, architectural decisions. Those never merge autonomously.
-
-Everything else is automated.
-
-## The mechanism
-
-Each cycle is deliberately boring, which is the point:
-
-1. A scheduled workflow opens a **fresh tracking issue** and dispatches Codex on it with a single instruction: pick the highest-value improvement that advances the [North Star](/docs/guides/agent-harness.html), implement it, verify it builds and passes tests and lint, and open a PR.
-2. Codex does the work on its own branch and opens the PR.
-3. GitHub **native auto-merge** lands it the moment the required CI checks go green — build, tests, golangci-lint. There is no human approval step. **CI is the only gate**, and that's not an approval, it's just a refusal to ship broken code.
-
-Every increment is small, single-concern, and reversible. Nothing clever survives that can't pass the same checks a human contributor's PR would.
-
-## Three altitudes
-
-One loop only produces increments; it doesn't know whether they're adding up to anything. So there are three passes at different altitudes:
-
- An **architect** pass reviews the whole framework against the thesis every few days — API coherence, gaps in the services → agents → workflows lifecycle, drift — and files scoped issues. It decides *what* to build.
- The **hourly increment loop** builds those issues.
- A **DevRel** pass audits the README, website, docs, and blog each day for coherence, and surfaces things worth writing about. (This post is the kind of thing it's meant to catch.)
-
-The architect points, the loop builds, DevRel keeps the story honest. Direction flows down; code flows up.
-
-## The parts that broke
-
-Wiring an autonomous loop is mostly plumbing and failure modes, which is exactly why it's a good test of a harness. A few we hit:
-
- The agent's "open a pull request" tool turned out to be a **stub** — it recorded the PR's title and body and returned them for a downstream step, but never pushed a branch or called the API. The agent cheerfully reported "opened a PR" every time, and no PR ever appeared. The fix was to stop trusting the tool and have the agent push and open the PR itself.
- Dispatching every run from a single tracking issue made the agent derive the **same branch name** each time, so the first increment opened a PR and the rest silently collided. One fresh issue per run fixed it.
- At one point an increment helpfully rewrote the repo's own agent instructions to point *back* at the broken tool. An autonomous loop will faithfully encode its own mistakes, so the guardrails have to be explicit.
-
-None of these are exotic. They're the ordinary reality of operating an agent loop: tools that lie, state that collides, instructions that drift. The things the harness ships — observability, durable runs, resilience, guardrails — are the things you reach for the moment you try to run a loop like this in earnest.
-
-## What it produces
-
-The increments are unglamorous and real. Recent ones hardened the agent run loop with **OpenTelemetry run timelines** and a `micro runs` command to inspect them, correlated those timelines with trace spans, added **retry backoff** to durable flows, and made flow steps **cancellation-safe** so a canceled run stops retrying instead of burning its budget. Each one landed as a small PR that passed CI on its own.
-
-That's the texture of the work: not a model writing a framework in one shot, but a loop making it a little better, continuously, under a gate that keeps it honest.
-
-## The loop is the proof
-
-We think the future of agentic software is scheduled, looping, work-performing agents — not chat. Go Micro is built by exactly that, against its own repo. The human still sets direction and owns the calls that need taste; CI is the gate; everything is reversible. Within those bounds, the harness builds itself.
-
-If it can do that, it can build yours.

-providers without API keys by default, so it is safe to run locally, and it fails
-when any configured provider breaks the shared contract.
-
-```sh
-go run ./internal/harness/provider-conformance
-```
-
-For a no-key smoke test of the same harness wiring, run the mock provider:
-
-```sh
-go run ./internal/harness/provider-conformance -providers mock
-```
-
-## Status legend
-
-| Status | Meaning |
-| --- | --- |
-| ✅ Verified | Covered by the provider-conformance harness for configured live providers. |
-| ⚠️ Unverified | Implemented in the public API, but not yet exercised by provider conformance. |
-| — Unsupported | Not exposed by that provider integration today. |
-
-## Harness coverage by capability
-
-These rows describe what the conformance harness verifies today. A provider is
-considered conformant when the configured-key run passes all selected harnesses.
-
-| Capability | Harness coverage | Notes |
-| --- | --- | --- |
-| Simple generation | ✅ Verified | Each harness asks the provider to produce an agent response through `ai.Model`. |
-| Service tool calls | ✅ Verified | Harness services are discovered and invoked as model-selected tools. |
-| Multi-step tool use | ✅ Verified | The `universe` and `plan-delegate` harnesses require more than one service/tool action. |
-| `plan` | ✅ Verified | `plan-delegate` verifies that the conductor agent stores a plan in scoped state. |
-| `delegate` | ✅ Verified | `plan-delegate` verifies agent-to-agent delegation over real RPC. |
-| Guardrail/stop behavior | ✅ Verified | `universe` runs with guardrails enabled and asserts the guarded path completes. |
-| Streaming | ⚠️ Unverified | `ai.Model.Stream` exists on the interface, but end-to-end streaming conformance is a roadmap item. |
-| Structured errors | ⚠️ Unverified | Error handling is covered by normal test suites, but provider conformance does not yet compare structured provider errors. |
-
-## Provider capability matrix
-
-This matrix combines the registered provider interfaces with the conformance
-coverage above. The chat/text column is the harness path: when the provider has a
-configured key, the conformance command exercises the verified rows in the
-previous section.
-
-| Provider | Chat/text agent harness | Image | Video | Streaming | Structured errors |
-| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
-| `anthropic` | ✅ Verified when configured | — Unsupported | — Unsupported | ⚠️ Unverified | ⚠️ Unverified |
-| `openai` | ✅ Verified when configured | ✅ Registered | — Unsupported | ⚠️ Unverified | ⚠️ Unverified |
-| `gemini` | ✅ Verified when configured | — Unsupported | — Unsupported | ⚠️ Unverified | ⚠️ Unverified |
-| `groq` | ✅ Verified when configured | — Unsupported | — Unsupported | ⚠️ Unverified | ⚠️ Unverified |
-| `mistral` | ✅ Verified when configured | — Unsupported | — Unsupported | ⚠️ Unverified | ⚠️ Unverified |
-| `together` | ✅ Verified when configured | — Unsupported | — Unsupported | ⚠️ Unverified | ⚠️ Unverified |
-| `atlascloud` | ✅ Verified when configured | ✅ Registered | ✅ Registered | ⚠️ Unverified | ⚠️ Unverified |
-
-## Running a focused check
-
-Use `-providers` to select a provider and `-harnesses` to narrow the scenario:
-
-```sh
-go run ./internal/harness/provider-conformance \
-  -providers openai,anthropic \
-  -harnesses agent-flow,plan-delegate
-```
-
-By default missing live-provider keys are reported as skips. Add
-`-require-configured` in CI when a selected provider must be present:
-
-```sh
-go run ./internal/harness/provider-conformance \
-  -providers openai \
-  -require-configured
-```
-
-The command also prints the registered model, image, and video provider
-capabilities before running conformance. Disable that with `-capabilities=false`
-when you only want pass/fail output.
-
-For automation, add `-summary-json` to capture the selected providers,
-harnesses, registered capability rows, and pass/skip/fail results in a stable
-machine-readable file:
-
-```sh
-go run ./internal/harness/provider-conformance \
-  -providers mock \
-  -summary-json provider-conformance-summary.json
-```
