Acting as EngineerC3Accept
Governed continual learning
Repeated corrections in the audit trail, clustered into candidate lessons, reviewed by a person, and canonised into a rule that changes future engineering. The observer proposes; it never decides.
Master prompt sections 55 to 58
Candidate lessons
0
Raised at L1. A pattern needs 2 occurrences to qualify.
SME validated
0
L3. Validated, but not yet changing anything.
Active rules
0
L4. The only form in which learning affects future work.
Rejected
0
Never re-raised: deduplication is against every lesson, including declined ones.
What the observer may do
Its authority ceiling is C1, the draft class, which the authority matrix enforces rather than merely documents.
- Read the audit trail and the check history.
- Cluster repeated corrections by attribute and by checker.
- Count occurrences and list the projects they came from.
- Propose a candidate lesson with its evidence attached.
- Classify the proposal into one of the eleven learning types.
What it may never do
Master prompt section 57, the self-learning boundary.
- Change an engineering rule, a checker or the ontology.
- Alter a canonical value or any approved compatibility.
- Create a rule that blocks a release.
- Promote its own candidate lesson to any higher trust state.
- Act at any risk class above C1, which the authority matrix enforces.
The pipeline is deliberately three decisions long, not one. The observer raises a candidate at L1. An Engineer Lead validates it to L3 with a recorded reason, which changes nothing on its own. Only a Manager can deploy it as a rule at L4, and the Manager who deploys it is not the person who validated it, because a rule affects every future project rather than one record on this one.
Canonised rules
Versioned, and reversible. Section 90 requires rollback, so a rule that turns out to be wrong is deactivated rather than argued with.
No lesson has been canonised. Learning changes nothing until one is.
