PROJECT_STATUS.md

Project Status

This is the canonical repo status file.

It should answer two questions quickly:

1. what the project can do right now
2. what actually changed during the recent benchmark-upgrade thread

Current Snapshot

As of April 8, 2026:

• the active branch is main
• the last runtime-changing benchmark checkpoint before this cleanup pass was 1d9d3ee
• the latest runtime-changing checkpoint passed openenv validate
• the latest full test checkpoint passed 175 tests
• the environment now behaves like a real queue-management benchmark, not a single-ticket classifier
• stale review branches and nonessential planning docs have been removed so the repo stays submission-clean

What The Project Does Today

The current repo supports:

• full routing on all three tasks: issue_type, priority, assignment_group, and resolution_action
• partial observability that gets harder as the task difficulty rises
• five action types: submit, investigate, request_info, defer, and open_incident
• queue-level carry-over state such as capacity pressure, incident slots, SLA risk, and deferred tickets
• cluster-aware episodes where one ticket can make later related tickets easier or harder
• deterministic follow-up tickets when earlier handling was weak or incomplete
• a terminal score that blends routing quality with queue-management quality
• a local policy-learning loop that compares and searches over deterministic policies
• a modern landing page at /web instead of the original plain HTML table

Validation State

The latest validated runtime state before this cleanup pass included:

• passing openenv validate
• passing full python -m unittest discover -s tests -p "test_*.py" -v
• a passing Hugging Face Space and Docker-ready packaging setup
• synchronized pushes to both origin/main and space/main

This cleanup pass is documentation and repo hygiene only. It does not change the environment contract.

Net Result Of The Thread

Compared with the starting point, the repo is now materially stronger in five ways:

• Phase 2 compliance issues were fixed without breaking the evaluator contract
• the benchmark became more agentic through queue mutation, operational actions, and downstream consequences
• the hard task stopped being a near-trivial keyword-routing problem
• the grader and final reward became more aligned with real queue-management quality
• the public presentation improved through cleaner docs and a better landing page

This cleanup and publishing pass also:

• expands PROJECT_STATUS.md to cover the full repo history instead of only the late-stage sprint
• rewrites KNOWLEDGE.md as a mentor-style guide for a beginner builder
• removes stale planning and internal analysis docs that no longer reflect the shipped benchmark
• leaves required.md as the retained requirements checklist

Remaining Optional Gaps

The project is strong, but a few optional upgrades still exist if more time is ever available:

• replace more authored queue rules with even more emergent simulator dynamics
• grow the dataset further with less taxonomy-friendly wording
• move from policy search toward a more clearly trainable learning setup
• gather stronger benchmark comparisons against external LLM baselines

Repo Hygiene Notes

This cleanup pass also keeps the repo focused by:

• retaining required.md as the requirement checklist
• keeping README.md, KNOWLEDGE.md, and PROJECT_STATUS.md as the main public guidance
• removing stale planning and gap-analysis files that no longer reflect the current state
