# 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
