CC-1 Brief — C2 Stage 1 Mikro-eval Kickoff Authorization

Datum: 2026-04-22 Sprint: 11 · Track C · Task C2 Authority: PM (Marko Marković), 2026-04-22 PM Cowork ratification Pre-req gates: A2 ✅ CLOSED · B1 ✅ CLOSED · B2 ✅ CLOSED · LiteLLM container UP (verified at kickoff time) Budget: $5–15 hard cap (per Day 2 PM plan §2 of 2026-04-23-sprint-11-day-2-am-status.md) Hard alarm @ 130%: $20

1. Authorization

C2 Stage 1 mikro-eval is AUTHORIZED to kick off as soon as §2 pre-req is satisfied. CC-1 may execute on Day 2 PM or Day 3 AM at its discretion; PM does not need to be in-loop for kickoff itself, only for exit ping review.

Two decisions are folded in alongside the C2 kick:

B3 cleanup ticket (HIGH + MEDIUM) is authorized to land before C2 kickoff per decisions/2026-04-22-model-route-naming-locked.md §3. Surgical fix in anthropic-proxy.ts:43-44 and workspace-templates.ts:406. Test + lint guard required per §4. Estimated 1h, no LLM cost. CC-1 may sequence as: B3 cleanup commit → docker health-check → C2 kickoff in a single working block.
B2 fold-in: C2 is the first invocation that wires resolveTieBreak into the Stage 2 judge runner on 3-primary splits per B2 exit ping §6. Existing judgeEnsemble retains its internal contract; the wire-up replaces the computeMajority call on 3-vote primary ensemble paths only.

2. Pre-req: Docker / LiteLLM health-check

Mandatory step zero. Docker Desktop went down between B1 smoke (2026-04-21T17:54Z) and B2 smoke attempt (2026-04-21T23:01Z); Marko restarted within ~3 minutes. The same risk applies to C2.

docker ps --filter "name=waggle-os-litellm-1" --format "{{.Names}} {{.Status}}"

Expected output: waggle-os-litellm-1 Up <duration>

If container not Up:

Restart Docker Desktop (Marko handles UI; CC-1 cannot trigger Docker Desktop UI from sandbox).
Wait for Docker daemon ready: until docker info >/dev/null 2>&1; do sleep 2; done (cap at 60s).
Bring up LiteLLM stack: docker compose -f docker-compose.litellm.yml up -d (path per repo convention).
Wait for container Up: until docker ps --filter "name=waggle-os-litellm-1" --filter "status=running" -q | grep -q .; do sleep 2; done (cap at 60s).
Smoke the proxy: curl -sS http://localhost:4000/health | jq — expect {"healthy_count": <n>, "unhealthy_count": 0} or equivalent green signal from LiteLLM admin.
Re-run the docker ps check from step zero. Only proceed when container is Up.

If container is Up but LiteLLM /health returns unhealthy or 5xx: abort C2 kickoff, write a short sessions/2026-04-22-c2-blocked-litellm-unhealthy.md ping with the captured output, and notify PM. Do NOT attempt to debug LiteLLM mid-kickoff — that is a separate track.

3. Invocation

Per B1 exit ping §3.1 + A2 exit ping §6 (template unchanged):

node benchmarks/harness/src/runner.ts \
  --model qwen3.6-35b-a3b-stage2 \
  --cell raw \
  --dataset locomo \
  --limit 10 \
  --seed 42 \
  --live \
  --budget 10

Output JSONL goes to benchmarks/runs/2026-04-22-c2-stage1-mikroeval/raw.jsonl (or whatever path the runner picks per current convention; do not override).

4. Exit criteria

C2 is CLOSED when ALL of:

10 instances evaluated end-to-end. No partial runs counted as PASS.
A2 wire confirmed live. Every JSONL row carries reasoning_content + reasoning_content_chars + reasoning_shape ∈ {'message.reasoning_content', 'message.reasoning', 'body.reasoning_content'}. Zero reasoning_shape: 'unknown' events on this thinking=on route — if any appear, that is a drift signal worth investigating before closing.
B2 wire confirmed live (if any 1-1-1 split occurs). When a 3-primary split lands as 1-1-1, resolveTieBreak should fire with path=quadri-vendor and fourth_vendor_slug='xai/grok-4.20', observable in pino events. If no 1-1-1 occurs in the 10-instance sample (likely — split rate is sparse), CC-1 reports "no tie-break trigger observed in sample, B2 path unverified live in C2 — C3 will exercise it at scale" and that is an acceptable interim state.
Budget ≤ $15. Exit ping reports actual spend with breakdown by call class (primary judge, tie-break, target model).
Zero NETWORK_ERROR / 5xx tail on the run. Transient single-call retries within the runner's own retry budget are OK; persistent infra issues are NOT.
Aggregate report generated. buildAggregate over the JSONL produces a summary block with the reasoningContent { count, sumChars, p50Chars, p95Chars, shapeDistribution } slot populated per A2 §2.1.
Exit ping written to PM-Waggle-OS/sessions/2026-04-22-sprint-11-c2-stage1-mikroeval-exit.md following the same template as B1/A2/B2/B3 (deliverables, validation gates, observability sample, budget, related files). Cite this brief and the four pre-req exit pings as authority.

5. Failure / abort criteria

C2 should be ABORTED (not failed-and-recorded — actually aborted mid-run) if ANY of:

Budget burn > $20 (130% of cap) at any partial-run checkpoint.
LiteLLM /health flips unhealthy mid-run.
Persistent NETWORK_ERROR for >3 consecutive calls on the same target model.
reasoning_content_shape_unknown drift event fires more than once in the sample (signals provider schema drift; C2 should pause until investigated).

On abort: write a short sessions/2026-04-22-c2-aborted-<reason>.md ping with captured state, do NOT clean up partial JSONL (it is forensic evidence), notify PM.

6. What C2 does NOT need to do

Does NOT need to wait on A3 bench-spec LOCK. A3 governs Stage 2 mass-run scope (C3 + H-42a/b); C2 is a 10-instance smoke on the existing B1-LOCKED config and is independent.
Does NOT need to wait on B4 Stage 2 kickoff memo. B4 is PM-led; C2 is a pure CC-1 execution.
Does NOT need PM authorization for the B3 cleanup commit if CC-1 chooses to land it before C2. Authorization is granted in §1 of this brief.

7. After C2 PASS

C3 (Stage 2 4-cell mini PASS) is unblocked but gated on A3 bench-spec LOCK. CC-1 should NOT auto-kick C3 on C2 PASS — wait for PM authorization that follows A3 LOCK.
B4 Stage 2 kickoff memo can incorporate the C2 readiness signal once C2 is CLOSED. PM picks up B4 in parallel; CC-1 contributes a 1-paragraph "harness readiness assessment from C2" addendum on PM request.

8. Sprint 11 close path after C2

If C2 PASSes and B3 cleanup ticket lands, Sprint 11 reaches 8/10 CLOSED (A1, A2, B1, B2, B3, C1, C2 + B3 cleanup as a sub-deliverable of B3 audit). Remaining: A3 (PM-Marko 30min), B4 (PM-led memo), C3 (gated on A3). Sprint 11 can plausibly reach 9/10 CLOSED if A3 is ratified within 48h and C3 kickoff follows.

PM-Waggle-OS/sessions/2026-04-23-sprint-11-day-2-am-status.md — master status (Day 2 PM plan §2 lists C2 as next CC-1 work)
PM-Waggle-OS/sessions/2026-04-22-sprint-11-h-audit-1-exit.md — A2 exit ping (reasoning_content wire reference)
PM-Waggle-OS/sessions/2026-04-22-sprint-11-b1-stage2-config-exit.md — B1 config + invocation template
PM-Waggle-OS/sessions/2026-04-22-sprint-11-b2-tiebreak-exit.md — B2 fold-in note §6
PM-Waggle-OS/decisions/2026-04-22-model-route-naming-locked.md — B3 cleanup authorization
PM-Waggle-OS/decisions/2026-04-22-tie-break-policy-locked.md — B2 LOCK authority
PM-Waggle-OS/decisions/2026-04-22-stage-2-primary-config-locked.md — B1 LOCK authority

C2 AUTHORIZED. Pre-req gate is the single Docker health-check in §2. CC-1 owns the kick; PM reads the exit ping. B3 cleanup commit is in-scope to land alongside or just before. C3 gated on A3 — do not auto-kick.
