# V2-P15 Kickoff (Worker Mechanical-Only Cut)

Status: Active

## Objective
Remove residual deterministic semantic judgment behavior from worker runtime path so crawler-reviewed flow is the sole canonical semantic authority.

## Step plan (3)
1. Worker mechanical-only cut ✅
2. Crawler handoff enforcement ✅
3. Sweep + closeout ✅

## Step 3 completion notes
- Completed V2P15 sweep for worker, handoff, authority, runtime and e2e invariants.
- Added closeout artifact:
  - `docs/v2_p15_closeout_checklist.md`
- Sweep result: 17 passed / 0 failed.
- V2P15 is now closed.

## Step 2 completion notes
- Enforced crawler handoff framing in `memory_engine.process_turn_finalized(...)`.
- Turn pipeline now always records crawler handoff context metadata in result payload.
- Added optional metadata-driven auto-apply path for crawler-reviewed updates (`metadata.crawler_updates`) using canonical apply path.
- Updated memory-engine tests to validate required crawler-handoff marker.

## Step 1 completion notes
- Reworked `core_memory.sidecar_worker.process_memory_event(...)` to mechanical/bookkeeping-only behavior.
- Removed deterministic semantic judgment responsibilities from worker path:
  - no deterministic bead creation decisions
  - no deterministic promotion decisions
  - no deterministic association decisions
- Worker now handles envelope normalization, pass bookkeeping, and metrics only.
- Updated worker/authority tests to enforce zero semantic mutation in worker path.
