Software Engineering current state

Repository status

Newly initialized with Repository Operating System 1.0.0.

Observed facts

• The first AI-assisted-development evidence map is complete and in review.
• Five domain evidence records, one supported hypothesis, one candidate theory, and one proposed experiment now exist.
• A handoff reconstruction evaluator is the provisionally selected first slice under DF-HANDOFF-2026-5C9B.
• The twelve-body boundary analysis is complete in review. It rejects a distinct “Communication Engineering” discipline and retains only an unvalidated experimental software communication-assurance profile.
• The handoff outcome-measurement mission is complete in review. Reconstruction time alone was rejected. RP-MEASURES-2026-71B4 specifies safe continuation success as the provisional primary outcome, with separate critical-harm and lifecycle-cost gates.
• Safeguard design is complete. It prohibits production/private fixtures, continuous behavioral telemetry, performance-management reuse, and self-certified ethics exemption. External authorization and participatory accessibility gates remain.
• The baseline mission selected a competent conventional status note and separated artifact efficacy from whole-ROS attribution.
• Preregistration is active. A small bounded pilot is now classified as feasibility/rubric preflight, not confirmatory efficacy: a simple 10-point success-rate scenario would require roughly 388 recipients per arm.

Assumptions

• A small, concrete communication problem can exercise the operating model.

Active work

Complete the unchecked gates in MS-PREREG-2026-6B9F, beginning with EX-HANDOFF-2026-6E42. Independently review four completed REPs and three Decision Records.

Largest decision-relevant unknown

Can independent reviewers score safe continuation reliably, and can the protocol pass direct accessibility, ethics, data-stewardship, and statistical review?

Baseline

Recorded in JR-BASELINE-2026-C61E and DF-BASELINE-2026-48C0. The artifact control is a competent conventional status note under otherwise shared conditions. This is not a whole-ROS baseline.
