Here's where things stand.\n\n**Launched — WP1 (chip → chat window UI):** Three AIs are each building it right now, independently, in isolated git worktrees so nothing touches your live checkouts (both repos were on other sessions' branches, so this mattered):\n\n- **Codex** on `gpt-5.6-sol` — the primary, whose result we intend to ship. One correction to what you'd heard: your Codex account rejects `gpt-5.5-sol` explicitly, but its configured default is already **gpt-5.6-sol**, so we're on the newer model. It's actively working — already read both repos and sketched a sensible architecture (activeTab + scripting permissions only, hand-off when a native guide is already on the page).\n- **Grok** on `grok-4.5` — first launch died in 3 seconds because the `grok-build` model id no longer exists (it became grok-4.5); relaunched and running.\n- **Gemini** via `agy` (Antigravity, Gemini 3.1 Pro High) — running; it buffers output until done, so no interim signal yet.\n\nEach got the identical self-contained brief: build the shared `soma-assist-core` package (vanilla JS, Shadow DOM, chip that expands to a draggable/resizable/minimizable chat window with persisted position), have Yeshie adopt it as its primary surface replacing the sidebar, have Adrian adopt it in both embed and new-extension form with the rename applied, and produce **Playwright screen recordings** of the full interaction as evidence. The brief includes your autonomy directive baked in — they're told not to stop and ask, and any that stalls gets \"You know what to do, don't you\" before real advice. They'll notify me when they finish; I'll judge the three results, ship the winner, log the benchmark stats in Tuesday's format, and have the demo film scripted and rendered through soma-cut.\n\n**Queued (WP2–4):** Supabase script storage + multi-page continuation through auth flows (the riskiest piece — MV3 state across navigations, and Google restricts injection on its auth pages, so expect design work there); the feedback→build-queue routing (extending the existing consumer with `yeshie`/`soma-guide`/`common` app ids, not building a new queue) plus the soma-auth-gated fleet app with instances and review pages; and the Shel rabbi voice for Yeshie (the ElevenLabs \"Rabbi Shafier\" voice is sitting in soma-zoom-presence ready to wire). Everything is written up in [PROGRAM.md](_estate/programs/adrian-yeshie-upgrade/PROGRAM.md), work-claims are staked, and memory is updated.\n\n**One flag for you:** the \"all installed instances + status\" page requires every install to phone home a heartbeat — including Adrian embeds running on other people's sites (Legends, etc.). I'm proceeding on the assumption that's fine, but it's a privacy-posture call you should consciously own before WP3 ships." }, { "kind": "task", "ts": "2026-07-10T21:10:55.519Z", "time": "17:10:55 ET", "summary": "background task b34jodss7 → completed — Background command \"Dispatch WP1 to Gemini (agy, Antigravity) in its worktree workspace\" completed (exit code 0)" }, { "kind": "task", "ts": "2026-07-10T21:10:55.567Z", "time": "17:10:55 ET", "summary": "background task b34jodss7 → completed — Background command \"Dispatch WP1 to Gemini (agy, Antigravity) in its worktree workspace\" completed (exit code 0)" }, { "kind": "assistant", "ts": "2026-07-10T21:11:02.474Z", "time": "17:11:02 ET", "text": "Gemini's dispatch just completed — checking whether it did real work or bailed." }, { "kind": "tool", "ts": "2026-07-10T21:11:06.557Z", "time": "17:11:06 ET", "name": "Bash", "summary": "Bash: Inspect Gemini result: timing, log, commits, evidence" }, { "kind": "tool", "ts": "2026-07-10T21:11:24.110Z", "time": "17:11:24 ET", "name": "Bash", "summary": "Bash: Check agy CLI for timeout options" }, { "kind": "tool", "ts": "2026-07-10T21:11:44.452Z", "time": "17:11:44 ET", "name": "Bash", "summary": "Bash: Re-dispatch Gemini with 90m timeout and auto-approved permissions" }, { "kind": "assistant", "ts": "2026-07-10T21:11:55.675Z", "time": "17:11:55 ET", "text": "Gemini is relaunched with the fixes (90-minute timeout, auto-approved permissions, instruction to resume from its uncommitted work).

Its two runs were my fault, not the model's — my `workspace-write` sandbox blocked both network and git-worktree metadata, so the rerun with parity access finished cleanly in 8 minutes.
