Tasks · NovelForge 7.1 Adaptive Runtime

Historical status: 7.1 was completed and passed release verification. The empty checkboxes were ledger drift left behind after implementation; this file now records historical completion only and does not re-execute the stopped consumer project.

Phase 1 · Capability Contract

• T101 Add harness/runtime_capabilities.py + self-test.
• T102 Add bilingual Runtime Capability docs.
• T103 Integrate capability requirements with Runtime Routing.

Phase 2 · Corpus Discovery Runtime

• T201 Upgrade corpus_scout.py to capability-aware discovery request v2.
• T202 Add corpus/discovery_runtime.py + typed provenance/result validation.
• T203 Enforce rights/storage gate, dedupe and diversity accounting.

Phase 3 · Durable Learning Cycle

• T301 Add learning/learning_cycle.py with SQLite lifecycle/state/versioning.
• T302 Add logical consume-once for discovery/analysis/eval results.
• T303 Add resume/idempotency/illegal-transition self-tests.

Phase 4 · Semantic Learning Work

• T401 Add learning/learning_eval.py for corpus analysis and learning eval jobs.
• T402 Reuse semantic fingerprint contract and exclude execution lineage.
• T403 Add blind packet / answer-key leakage regression tests.

Phase 5 · Promotion Gate

• T501 Add learning/promotion_gate.py.
• T502 Enforce scope-specific evidence thresholds.
• T503 Require cross-work + counterexample + eval + rollback + CI for General Craft.

Phase 6 · Immutable Bundle

• T601 Add release/build_framework_bundle.py build/verify/self-test.
• T602 Add bilingual bundle policy docs.
• T603 Add optional release-bundle GitHub workflow.
• T604 Produce deterministic 7.1 bundle fingerprint.

Phase 7 · CLI / CI / Maintenance

• T701 Upgrade novelforge.py routers/version/self-test.
• T702 Upgrade reusable CI with all 7.1 deterministic contracts.
• T703 Upgrade weekly maintenance to capability-aware learning queues.
• T704 Assert normal CI and weekly maintenance execute no model and auto-promote nothing.

Phase 8 · Docs / Manifest / Version

• T801 Update HARNESS_MANIFEST.yaml to 7.1.0 and declare new modules/contracts.
• T802 Update Skill/Harness/Self-Improvement/Adaptive-Learning/Corpus/Integration docs in EN + zh-CN.
• T803 Update README/CHANGELOG/Project SDK docs and default framework version.
• T804 Record external mechanism evidence/provenance from official framework docs.

Phase 9 · Framework Verification

• T901 Final NovelForge CI green on the exact 7.1 commit.
• T902 Bundle build/verify green and fingerprint recorded.
• T903 No consumer-project leakage in Framework source.

Phase 10 · Historical Consumer Upgrade

• T1001 The consumer project minimum Framework version was updated to 7.1.0 at the time.
• T1002 Its lock recorded the exact commit + bundle fingerprint.
• T1003 Framework attestation + 7.1 project validator contract were updated.
• T1004 The consumer Project CI was green at the time.
• T1005 Canon / active-story state was verified unchanged by the dependency migration.

That consumer repository has since been stopped by the user; the 7.2 work does not read, modify, or migrate it.

Non-blocking follow-up

• F001 Physically remove/archive historical embedded Generic OS source only if a maintained consumer needs that cleanup later.
• F002 Original repository hero binary + provenance (not a runtime blocker).
