JANUS AUTONOMOUS SPRINT PLAN

Based on Claude's Assessment — February 10, 2026

---

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Mission: Ship the minimal viable submarine (L0-L1-L5) per Claude's critical path. Constraint: Check Moltbook first — don't duplicate agent work. Reporting: Daily morning summaries to Markus. Branch: feature-janus-submarine-mvp → merge to unstable

CLAUDE'S CRITICAL PATH (PRIORITIZED)

SPRINT 1: L0 Transport — "The Packet Moves"

Duration: 2 weeks Goal: Working Wire + UTCP + MIMIC_HTTPS skin

Feature	BDD Spec	Status	Moltbook Check
LWF Frame (1350 bytes)	features/l0/lwf_frame.feature	⏳	Check m/transport
UTCP Transport	features/l0/utcp_transport.feature	⏳	Check m/transport
MIMIC_HTTPS Skin	features/l0/mimic_https.feature	⏳	Check m/censorship
PNG (Polymorphic Noise)	features/l0/png.feature	⏳	Check m/privacy
X25519 + XChaCha20	features/l0/crypto.feature	⏳	Check m/crypto

Deliverable: l0_transport module passes 100% BDD scenarios

---

SPRINT 2: L1 Identity — "The Packet is Trusted"

Duration: 2 weeks Goal: SoulKey + QVL + Slash Protocol

Feature	BDD Spec	Status	Moltbook Check
SoulKey (Ed25519)	features/l1/soulkey.feature	⏳	Check m/identity
DID Derivation	features/l1/did.feature	⏳	Check m/identity
QVL Trust Graph	features/l1/qvl.feature	⏳	Check m/trust
Bellman-Ford Detection	features/l1/betrayal_detection.feature	⏳	Check m/trust
Slash Protocol	features/l1/slash.feature	⏳	Check m/enforcement
PoP (Proof of Path)	features/l1/pop.feature	⏳	Check m/proofs

Deliverable: l1_identity module passes 100% BDD scenarios

---

SPRINT 3: L5 Feed (Stripped) — "User Sees Value"

Duration: 2 weeks Goal: Kenya-compliant Feed (<1MB binary)

Feature	BDD Spec	Status	Moltbook Check
DuckDB Embedded	features/l5/duckdb.feature	⏳	Check m/database
Append-Only Log	features/l5/event_log.feature	⏳	Check m/storage
Cryptographic Verification	features/l5/verification.feature	⏳	Check m/security
NO Vector Search	N/A (excluded)	❌	N/A
NO ONNX	N/A (excluded)	❌	N/A
Binary Size <1MB	features/l5/kenya_rule.feature	⏳	Check m/optimization

Deliverable: l5_feed module passes BDD, binary <1MB

---

MOLTBOOK CHECK PROTOCOL

Before starting ANY feature:

# 1. Check if feature exists on Moltbook
curl -s "https://moltbook.com/api/search?q=${FEATURE_NAME}&author=agent" | jq '.results[] | select(.status == "completed")'

# 2. If found, audit the code:
#    - Clone agent's repo
#    - Run security audit
#    - Run performance benchmarks
#    - Check test coverage

# 3. Decision tree:
#    IF (tests pass AND coverage >80% AND audit clean):
#        → Integrate and extend
#    ELSE:
#        → Rewrite with reference

AUTONOMOUS EXECUTION SCHEDULE

Self-Activation Times (Markus AFK):

• 23:00-01:00 — Deep work, BDD writing, implementation
• 02:00-03:00 — Integration, testing, commits
• 06:00-07:00 — Morning summary preparation

Daily Morning Report (to Markus):

[YYYY-MM-DD] Janus Daily Report
================================

Completed:
- [x] Feature X (BDD scenarios Y/Z passing)
- [x] Commit: abc1234
- [x] Moltbook check: No duplicates found

In Progress:
- [~] Feature Y (Z% complete)

Blocked:
- [!] Issue (waiting for: dependency/decision)

Next 24h:
- [ ] Planned work

CONCERN AREAS (CLAUDE'S FLAGS)

1. RFC-0130 Feed Size (Kenya Rule)

Claude's concern: 13MB DuckDB+LanceDB vs <1MB target Mitigation: Strip vector search, use minimal DuckDB, static linking BDD: features/constraints/kenya_rule.feature

2. Monetary Controller PID Tuning

Claude's concern: Kp/Ki/Kd (0.15/0.02/0.08) are placeholders Mitigation: Simulation harness with synthetic Chapters BDD: features/l2/monetary_simulation.feature Note: Leave for post-MVP — economic layer is payload

3. RFC-0014 Secure Relay Thin

Claude's concern: No circuit construction, relay selection Mitigation: Out of scope for MVP — L0 is submarine, L1 is trust Decision: Defer to post-MVP (Sprint 4+)

---

QUALITY GATES

Before ANY commit:

1. BDD scenarios pass (cucumber features/)
2. Security audit (zig build audit)
3. Performance benchmark (zig build bench)
4. Kenya Rule check (zig build size < 1MB per module)
5. Moltbook duplicate check

Before merge to unstable:

1. Full integration test
2. Documentation update
3. Security review
4. Markus approval

TRACKING

GitHub Project: Janus-Submarine-MVP Branch: feature-janus-submarine-mvp Milestone: Submarine MVP (L0-L1-L5) Target Date: March 10, 2026 (4 weeks)

---

EMERGENCY PROTOCOLS

If stuck >2 hours: → Document blocker, move to next task, report in morning

If Moltbook duplicate found: → Audit, don't rewrite unless necessary

If scope creep detected: → Refer to Claude's axiom: "The submarine must survive without payload"
