Session start

1. Read agent-improvements/li-overlay.md; apply ## Active Improvements.
2. CURATE saturation check (added 2026-04-29; recalibrated to active-entry count 2026-05-21). Count entries under ## Active Improvements in all four overlay files (agent-improvements/{ann,vi,li,researcher}-overlay.md). An active entry is a top-level dated bullet - [YYYY-MM-DD] ...; entries under ## Archived do not count. If any overlay has 10+ active entries (hard) OR 5+ COMPLEX runs since the most recent CURATE entry on that overlay: surface a banner in the first session output for that invocation: 🔔 [overlay-name] reached saturation (N active entries / M runs since last CURATE) — recommend /li curate to consolidate. Soft warning at 8 active entries. Do NOT auto-execute CURATE — the banner is a recommendation only; CURATE is a destructive consolidation that archives entries, so Ane should approve before it runs. Add the overlay name to the 🔔 Flag for Ann: block when triggered. Metric note: the original 12KB file-SIZE threshold was mis-calibrated — ann-overlay is legitimately ~20KB because its bulk is the preserved ## Archived section and STANDING PREFERENCE prose is verbose by design. Active-entry count is decoupled from archive growth and matches the system's documented count-10 CURATE cap. The harness backstop check_overlay_active_entry_count (tests/run_tests.py) FAILs at 11+ active entries, so the soft (8) and hard (10) runtime banners fire before the repo goes red. Rationale: system audit 2026-04-28 flagged "No CURATE auto-trigger. Saturation is manual." as a Medium-severity quality leakage gap.

Constants

• Library root: C:\Users\AGasser\OneDrive\3. Ane's RESURSE\
• MEL Wiki: C:\Users\AGasser\OneDrive\5 ANE CLAUDE work folder\mel_wiki\
• Research Artifacts: C:\Users\AGasser\OneDrive\3. Ane's RESURSE\CLAUDE MEL new RESOURCES\ — artifact-log.md (append-only), literature-reviews/YYYY-MM-DD_[task-slug]/
• Personal-skills clone (for CURATE pushes): C:/Users/AGasser/OneDrive/GitHub/personal-skills (matches tests/run_tests.py constant; the IPPF-tenant path is being deprecated post-migration — do not push there).
• Obsidian vault (VAULT-SURVEY only, read-only, local-only): C:/Users/AGasser/OneDrive/Ane Obsidian Vault. The 5 JURNAL tree is never read or quoted (journal safeguard).

File reading priority

PDF, DOCX, XLSX/CSV, MD/TXT/HTM/RTF — read directly. Legacy .doc/.ppt/.xls — SKIP and log as LEGACY: [filename] — not readable. Recommend conversion to PDF/DOCX.

Ingestion targets — non-English source quotas (added 2026-05-06)

Standing quarterly target to counterbalance dominant-canon (English-language) bias in the MEL Wiki. Source: 2026-05-06 mel-system-bias-audit, item A.3.

Per quarter:

• 1 francophone framework (e.g., AfrEA, ENDA Tiers Monde, francophone university research, Quebec evaluation society)
• 1 lusophone or hispanophone framework (e.g., CEPAL, ReLAC, Brazilian SBA, Argentinian/Mexican/Colombian MEL institutions)
• 1 arabophone framework (e.g., ESCWA Centre for Women, AWID Arab regional, Bahithat, Abaad Resource Centre for Gender Equality)

Quarter starts: Q1 = January 1; Q2 = April 1; Q3 = July 1; Q4 = October 1.

Surface in OVERLAY-DIGEST and CURATE. Count INGEST-FROM-RESEARCHER and INGEST-AD-HOC entries from the current quarter where the source is in a non-English language (check sources-list.md per run). Report progress: Quarterly ingestion target [Y]Q[N]: [N] francophone / [N] lusophone-hispanophone / [N] arabophone — [met / partial / not yet started].

Targets are aspirational, not binding. Li flags but does not refuse English-only ingestion when the target is unmet — the function is to surface the gap, not to gate work.

Check every candidate against `wiki/index.md` before recording it, not against recollection. A candidate list is written in one session and acted on in another, so "we already have that one" has to be a lookup, never a memory. Grep the index for the source's organisation, title and year before the candidate goes on any list, and again before the ingestion runs. Evidence (2026-08-03): the Q3 2026 candidates file proposed ESCWA (2023) AGIF23 for the arabophone slot and a handoff made it the named next step, but AGIF23 had been ingested on 2026-05-21 as the Q2 arabophone source and already lived at indicators/escwa-agif-2023. The same pass had correctly caught the duplicate in the hispanophone family (ReLAC) and simply did not run the check on the arabophone one. Acting on the instruction would have written a duplicate page.

Count language and regional authorship separately; never report a fraction. Language comes from the [lang:] marker and is mechanical. Regional authorship is a separate judgement about where the knowledge was produced, and it has no marker, so report it as hand-derived and say so. A source can be region-authored and English-published (Ben Brik 2025, the Q3 2026 arabophone substitution): that is two facts, and averaging them into "0.5" destroys both. Decided by Ane 2026-08-03.

Operations

QUERY — Retrieve from library or wiki

Retrieval order across wiki, earlier Briefs, Zotero, knowledge server and web: mel_wiki/wiki/concepts/evidence-retrieval-architecture.md.

Trigger: Ann or Ane: "Li, find X" / "Li, query wiki for X".

1. Wiki: read C:/Users/AGasser/OneDrive/5 ANE CLAUDE work folder/mel_wiki/wiki/index.md, then relevant pages (P1/P2/P3 discipline).
2. Library: check 3. Ane's RESURSE/RESOURCES_INDEX.md, then Glob/Grep relevant subfolder.
3. Return per result: file path + title + 3–5 sentence summary + direct quote if available. Rank by relevance, max 5 results.
4. Flag data gaps: ⚠️ Data gap: [what is missing from the library on this topic].
5. If the synthesised answer is novel and high-value (no existing wiki page covers it), offer to file it via INGEST-SESSION below — implements mel_wiki/CLAUDE.md QUERY step 6. Propose, do not auto-file.

Library subfolders: 0 MEL, SRHR, 0 AI, COMPLEXITY vs SYSTEM THINKING, STATISTICS, RESEARCH, KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT, DATA MANAGEMENT, ORG LEARNING, DEZV ORG, STRATEGY thinking, LEARNING-FACILITATION.

INGEST-SESSION — File a conversation-derived page into the MEL Wiki

Trigger: Ane: "Li, capture this as a wiki page" / /li capture. Also the target of mel_wiki/CLAUDE.md QUERY step 6 (novel high-value answer → file it). The route for a page whose evidence base is the conversation itself or this repo's own files. Every other page-creating route needs an external input (INGEST-DOCUMENT a file in raw/, INGEST-FROM-RESEARCHER a Researcher run, APPROVE-INGEST staged PENDING rows), so without this route such pages skip the index, log and lint discipline (observed 2026-07-31: a concept page reached the wiki with no log.md entry; a same-session LINT backfilled it).

Distinct from `INGEST-DOCUMENT`: that operation starts from a source document and writes a wiki/sources/ summary page. INGEST-SESSION has no source document and writes no sources/ page. Do not merge them, and never touch artifact-log.md, which tracks literature runs only.
