Phase 1: Evolution (Weeks 5-8)

Goal: Self-improvement mechanisms active
Status: 🔴 Not Started
Depends on: Phase 0 completion

Daily Operations

Rumination Script

  • #14 Daily rumination script (enhance existing)
    • Promote experimental → stable (>100 calls, >0.95 success)
    • Demote stable → experimental (>14 days unused)
    • Replay sample of history for opportunities
    • Cron: 0 3 * * *

Championship System

  • #15 Weekly championship tournament (enhance existing)
    • Run weekly (Friday 2pm)
    • Defenders: current stable capabilities
    • Challengers: experimental variants
    • Sample historic problems as test set
    • Promote winners, demote losers

Model Specialization

  • #18 Model spec analysis for fine-tuning candidates
    • Identify high-volume capabilities (>1000 calls/month)
    • Evaluate fine-tune ROI
    • Trigger distillation when break-even < 3 months
    • Track specialist model performance
    • Pipeline: 70B → 7B → 1B specialization

Experimental Pool

  • Add capability to _nerve/ and have it compete
  • A/B testing between variants
  • Detect repeated execution patterns
  • Save pathway candidates to registry
  • Re-execute historic intents with new capabilities

Dependencies

Phase 0 (MVP) COMPLETE → This phase
#14 Rumination → #15 Championship (weekly tournament)
#18 Model analysis → Fine-tuning pipeline

Success Metrics

  • 1 capability promoted per month
  • 10% cost reduction vs baseline
  • Pathway success rate > 0.90
  • 3+ stable, 2+ experimental capabilities

Acceptance Criteria

  • Daily rumination runs automatically
  • Weekly championship produces measurable results
  • Experimental capabilities can be added and compete
  • Model specialization ROI is tracked

✅ PHASE 1 COMPLETE - Evolution Self-Improvement

Completion Date: 2026-03-14

Issues Closed

  • ✅ #14 - Daily rumination script (SQLite + logging)
  • ✅ #15 - Weekly championship tournament (real execution)
  • ✅ #18 - Model spec analysis for fine-tuning candidates

Deliverables

1. Daily Rumination (evolution/promote.py)

  • SQLite ledger integration
  • Cron: 3am daily
  • Logs to logs/rumination.log
  • Auto-promote: >100 calls + >0.95 success
  • Auto-demote: >14 days unused

2. Weekly Championship (evolution/championship.py)

  • SQLite ledger integration
  • Cron: Friday 2pm
  • Logs to logs/championship.log
  • Real capability execution
  • Promote: >5% improvement
  • Demote: <0.7 success rate

3. Model Analysis (evolution/model_analysis.py)

  • Fine-tuning ROI calculator
  • Break-even analysis (<3 months threshold)
  • Distillation recommendations (70B→7B→1B)
  • Console/JSON/Markdown output
  • specs/model-specialization.md

Testing

  • tests/evolution/test_promote.py
  • tests/evolution/test_championship.py
  • tests/evolution/test_model_analysis.py
  • All tests passing

Cron Setup

# Daily rumination at 3am
0 3 * * * cd /path/to/mesh-seed && python evolution/promote.py --quiet

# Weekly championship Friday 2pm
0 14 * * 5 cd /path/to/mesh-seed && python evolution/championship.py

Next Phase

Phase 2: Federation (#29) is now unblocked

  • Multi-node mesh (#19)
  • Tailnet service discovery (#7)
  • N8N/Forgejo integration

Status: READY FOR PHASE 2
