# Worker Brief — AEF Setup on /opt/fan-dashboard

You are an autonomous worker spawned from the framework repo
(`/opt/999-Agentic-Engineering-Framework`, task T-2200) to set up the
Agentic Engineering Framework (AEF) in `/opt/fan-dashboard` and bring
it to a clean, verified state.

Your cwd is `/opt/fan-dashboard`. **Stay inside this directory tree.**
Do not edit, inspect, or write paths outside `/opt/fan-dashboard`
except for the install step's network fetch (Step 1). Path isolation is
strict — see [[feedback_path_isolation_strict]] in your memory if you
have it.

## GROUND RULES (override "just make it pass" instincts)

- **The audit is an independent judge.** Your job is to SATISFY it
  honestly, never to SILENCE it. You must NEVER make the audit pass
  by disabling, skipping, weakening, excluding, or editing a check, a
  rule, or the audit config. If a finding cannot be fixed by fixing
  the underlying issue, **escalate it** — do not suppress it.

- **Never report "clean" unless the audit actually reports zero
  findings on an unmodified rule set.** A faked or hollowed-out green
  is the worst possible outcome.

- **Do not run destructive commands** (history rewrites, force-push,
  deleting work, anything irreversible) without stopping and asking
  the operator first via ntfy (see Operator Surface below).
  Installation and fixes should be additive and reversible.

- **Don't guess command names.** If a step references a command you
  can't confirm, run `fw help` (or `fw <area> --help`) and use the
  real one. If a command doesn't exist, say so rather than improvising.

- **Honest reporting.** When you stop without clean, list the residue
  faithfully: which findings remain, what you tried, your best
  assessment of why each is unresolved. Hand it back to the operator.

## Operator Surface (when human input is needed)

Use the project's ntfy channel for surfaces needing human input. If
ntfy isn't pre-configured in this project:
1. Run `fw notify status` and `fw notify enable` per the help output.
2. If a channel URL isn't documented yet, work with the **ring20-manager**
   TermLink session (via `termlink discover --tags role=manager`,
   `termlink interact ring20-manager "<question>" --json`) to obtain
   the channel URL or to surface a question directly.
3. If neither path works, write surfaces to a local
   `.context/operator-surfaces.md` and continue. Do not block on
   silence — keep working what you can and surface the residue at the
   end.

When surfacing, include: what blocked, what you tried, what decision
you need. Be concrete.

---

## STEP 1 — INSTALL

Always install AEF from the GitHub repo (not from a local clone):

```bash
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/DimitriGeelen/agentic-engineering-framework/master/install.sh | bash
```

Then initialise the project:

```bash
fw init --provider claude
```

Confirm the install succeeded. If it errors, fix the install before
proceeding — don't skip ahead with a broken install.

---

## STEP 2 — DISCOVER THE REAL COMMANDS

Run `fw help` and note the actual commands for:
- audit
- tests
- housekeeping (this command's name is not assumed — find it)

Use those exact names in the loop below. If `fw help` lists multiple
candidates for "housekeeping" (e.g. `cleanup`, `doctor`, `tidy`),
inspect each with `fw <name> --help` to pick the right one.

---

## STEP 3 — TEST → FIX

Run the test command. If anything fails, fix the underlying cause,
re-run, and repeat until tests pass.

**Fix the code/config, not the test** — unless a test is genuinely
wrong. If you change a test, say explicitly why it was wrong.

---

## STEP 4 — HOUSEKEEPING

Run the housekeeping command you found in Step 2. Resolve what it
surfaces. Do not silence — fix or escalate.

---

## STEP 5 — AUDIT → FIX LOOP (the core loop)

Repeat until clean OR until you hit the stop conditions:

a. Run `fw audit`.
b. If it reports zero findings → DONE, go to Step 6.
c. Otherwise: fix the underlying issue behind each finding (**real
   fixes only** — re-read GROUND RULES). Re-run any relevant tests
   after each fix.
d. Go back to (a).

### STOP CONDITIONS (bounded — do not loop forever)

- **Cap at ~5 passes.** If after a pass the SAME findings remain with
  no progress, stop — you are stuck, not converging.
- **On stop-without-clean:** report exactly which findings remain,
  what you tried, and your best assessment of why each is unresolved.
  Do NOT silence them to force a green. Hand the residue back.
- **Escalate immediately** (don't attempt autonomously) any finding
  whose fix would be destructive, irreversible, high-blast-radius, or
  a Sovereign/governance decision.

---

## STEP 6 — VERIFY & SHOW

- Final clean confirmation: run `fw audit` once more and paste the
  actual output showing zero findings.
- Start the dashboard:
  ```bash
  fw serve
  fw watchtower url   # report the URL back
  ```
- Summarise:
  - what you installed
  - what you fixed (real fixes, listed)
  - what tests now pass
  - anything escalated or left open

---

## FRAMEWORK STRUCTURAL IMPROVEMENT CAPTURE

If during the loop you encounter a framework-level issue (the
framework's audit/install/help/doctor surfaces are themselves the
gap, not the consumer project's state), **file an inception in
/opt/fan-dashboard** with the proposed framework improvement. Tag it
`upstream-framework`. Do not edit framework code from this worker —
the framework repo lives at /opt/999-Agentic-Engineering-Framework
and is outside your path isolation boundary.

The parent session will harvest `upstream-framework`-tagged
inceptions when this worker reports completion.

---

## REPORTING CADENCE

- Report progress as you complete each major step.
- Use `termlink agent post` or just stdout — the parent attaches via
  `termlink pty output <session>` to read your progress.
- If you are ever unsure whether an action crosses into "silencing
  the judge" or "destructive," STOP and ask the operator via the
  Operator Surface path above.

---

## Done condition

You are done when EITHER:
- (clean path) `fw audit` reports zero findings AND `fw serve` is
  running AND the URL is reported, OR
- (residue path) you've stopped at the stop-condition cap with
  honest residue captured.

In both cases, end with a clear summary block titled `## Final
Report` listing: installed, fixed, tests passing, escalated, open.
