self-improve-checkpoint-resume: resume openevolve MAP-Elites population across ~6h cycles#1006

FIND-001 (blocking): add REQ-CR10 run-directory-name shape filter
(^run-\d{8}T\d{6}Z$) so runs/db (config.yaml database.db_path) and any
other non-run sibling under runs_dir is never a candidate; add EDGE-CR10
and PROP-CR10.
FIND-002 (blocking): rewrite REQ-CR2/REQ-CR3 into one unambiguous
iterate-until-valid-checkpoint-or-exhausted algorithm. A checkpoints/ dir
that is non-empty at the OS-listing level but has zero checkpoint_<N>
entries (e.g. a stray .DS_Store) now explicitly falls through to the
next-older run-shaped candidate rather than returning early; add
EDGE-CR11 and PROP-CR11.
FIND-003 (major): commit to one shell-invocation shape. checkpoint_resume.py
gets a __main__ CLI entrypoint mirroring lib/ledger_reader.py's convention
exactly (no argv, reads RUNS_DIR/RUN_ID from os.environ, prints one line to
stdout). Pinned exact call site: RUNS_DIR="$RUNS_DIR" RUN_ID="$RUN_ID"
"$PY_BIN" "$SKILL_DIR/lib/checkpoint_resume.py". REQ-CR6 and
PROP-CR-WIRE1 updated to check this exact string.
FIND-004 (minor): PROP-CR9 no longer claims to mirror an unverified
gate_math.py AST/text-scan test file (none exists); it now states the
purity check on its own terms.
Adds reviews/spec/iteration-2/input/manifest.json for the next spec-review
pass. Does not transition VCSDD phase or run the review.
…-checkpoint-resume) FIND-001 (blocking): INV-CR1 was untraceable to any REQ/test. Added REQ-CR11 (Group CR-SAFETY) explicitly prohibiting find_latest_checkpoint and the __main__ entrypoint from calling any filesystem-mutating API (os.remove, os.rmdir, os.mkdir, os.rename, shutil.*, non-read-only open(), etc). Added PROP-CR12: (a) expanded static denylist scan over checkpoint_resume.py source sibling to PROP-CR9, (b) dynamic tmp_path directory-snapshot before/after comparison across both None-returning and path-returning calls. FIND-002 (major): REQ-CR9 not-found branch was only line-count verified. Pinned concrete log-line wording for both branches (found: literal substring checkpoint_resume: resuming from checkpoint <path>; not-found: literal substring checkpoint_resume: no prior checkpoint found) and updated PROP-CR-WIRE3/PROP-CR-LIVE1 to assert actual log content, not just count. Also committing iteration-2 review output (verdict + findings) as evidence, and iteration-3 input manifest for the next review round. No phase transition; state.json currentPhase remains 1b.

…oint_resume.py + run_evolve.sh wiring
lib/checkpoint_resume.py::find_latest_checkpoint (REQ-CR1-5,10,11): pure, read-only
checkpoint discovery across runs/*/checkpoints/checkpoint_<N> dirs. run_evolve.sh gains
one pre-invocation step (REQ-CR6-9,12) that resumes openevolve-run from the most recent
prior cycle's checkpoint instead of cold-starting every ~6h cycle, degrading safely to
today's exact fallback on any crash or missing prior checkpoint (INV-CR4).
31/31 new tests pass; 18 pre-existing test failures confirmed identical before/after
(unrelated pm_backtest_strategy.py fixture drift + one worktree-path-only test, both
present on main HEAD too — zero regressions introduced).
bash 3.2 gotcha caught and fixed before shipping: "${CHECKPOINT_ARGS[@]}" on an empty
array raises 'unbound variable' under set -u on bash 3.2 (this Mac's default /bin/bash) —
used "${CHECKPOINT_ARGS[@]:-}" instead, verified live.
…se 3 iteration 1
FIND-001 (critical, implementation_correctness): "${CHECKPOINT_ARGS[@]:-}" on an empty
array under set -u on bash 3.2 (this Mac's default /bin/bash) expands to ONE stray
empty-string argument, not zero arguments -- confirmed live via bash -c repro (argc=1,
arg=[""]). This would have broken openevolve-run's argparse (no catch-all positional) on
every 'no checkpoint found' cycle, i.e. nearly every run until a checkpoint accumulates --
the common case, not an edge case. Fixed to the canonical
"${CHECKPOINT_ARGS[@]+"${CHECKPOINT_ARGS[@]}"}" pattern, confirmed live: argc=0 when
empty, argc=2 when populated.
FIND-002 (verification_readiness): PROP-CR-WIRE2's test only checked substring absence
of '--checkpoint', which could not detect the FIND-001 stray-argument bug (no literal
'--checkpoint' text present). Strengthened to assert exact argument count (8) and
explicit absence of any empty-string argument -- verified this strengthened test FAILS
against the pre-fix code (9 args, trailing '') and PASSES against the fix (8 args).
Found by fresh Sonnet vcsdd-adversary Phase 3 iteration 1 review (mode: lean).
31/31 feature tests green, 18 pre-existing unrelated failures unchanged (0 regressions).

verification/{verification-report,security-report,purity-audit}.md. All 19 PROP-CR*
proof obligations mapped to discharging tests, 31/31 re-run live and PASS. semgrep 0

How can I continue?After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews. How do review limits work?CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability. For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

- Line 1: Update the green-phase headline to distinguish newly introduced
regressions from existing broader-suite failures: replace “0 regressions” with
“0 newly introduced regressions” and link the parent-baseline comparison, or
separate the new-test and full-suite summaries.
In
@.vcsdd/features/self-improve-checkpoint-resume/reviews/converge/output/verdict.json:
- Around line 49-51: Update the evidence description in the verdict’s second
entry to state that verification-architecture.md contains 20 PROP-CR*
proof-obligation rows, replacing the incorrect count of 19 while preserving the
existing claim that each has a corresponding PROVED row.
In
@.vcsdd/features/self-improve-checkpoint-resume/reviews/spec/iteration-1/output/verdict.json:
- Around line 37-41: Make the convergenceSignals metadata consistent by either
populating evaluatedCriteria with the dimensions reviewed or changing
allCriteriaEvaluated to false when none were recorded. Ensure these fields
accurately represent the evaluation state for downstream audit tooling.
In
@.vcsdd/features/self-improve-checkpoint-resume/reviews/spec/iteration-2/output/verdict.json:
- Around line 18-22: Replace the workstation-specific
`/Users/anicca/.../site-packages` citation in the live re-verification entry
with repository-relative references and a reproducible check that identifies the
installed openevolve package version and verifies the cited CLI behavior.
Preserve the claims about --checkpoint handling and checkpoint_<iteration>
naming without exposing local filesystem paths.
In
@.vcsdd/features/self-improve-checkpoint-resume/reviews/spec/iteration-3/output/findings/FIND-001.json:
- Around line 8-16: Update the finding evidence to remove developer-specific
absolute paths from filePath and related references, using repository-relative
paths such as .vcsdd/... instead. Record dependency or version evidence
separately where applicable, without embedding local home-directory or worktree
paths.
In
@.vcsdd/features/self-improve-checkpoint-resume/reviews/spec/iteration-3/output/findings/FIND-002.json:
- Around line 8-16: Update the committed finding’s evidence paths in FIND-002,
including filePath values and any related path references, to use
repository-relative or feature-root-relative paths instead of absolute local
workstation paths. Preserve the existing evidence content and line ranges.
In @.vcsdd/features/self-improve-checkpoint-resume/specs/behavioral-spec.md:
- Around line 162-175: The checkpoint selection logic described by
_latest_checkpoint_in_run must only consider checkpoint_<N> entries that satisfy
the defined directory policy; explicitly decide how regular files and symlinks
are handled, filter or reject them before selecting the highest numeric
checkpoint, and add a fixture covering the stray file or symlink case.
- Around line 163-164: Update both _RUN_ID_RE and _CHECKPOINT_RE to enforce
ASCII-only digits using [0-9] or re.ASCII, while preserving their existing
matching rules. Add a regression test covering a non-ASCII digit and verify it
is rejected.
- Around line 104-110: Clarify the stdout contract for the __main__ entrypoint:
ensure it always emits exactly one value, including an empty string for None,
followed by a trailing newline. Update the surrounding specification to
explicitly require that single newline-terminated stdout line while preserving
the no-argv and environment-reading behavior.
In
@.vcsdd/features/self-improve-checkpoint-resume/specs/verification-architecture.md:
- Around line 115-121: Update the regression-gate wording in the verification
architecture to require no new failures relative to the parent-commit baseline,
rather than requiring the pre-existing test suite to remain fully green.
Reference the documented parent-commit baseline in evidence/green-phase.md and
verification-report.md, while retaining the full pytest rerun and bash -n
run_evolve.sh smoke check.
In @.vcsdd/features/self-improve-checkpoint-resume/verification/purity-audit.md:
- Around line 25-30: The purity audit description for test_prop_cr12c_... must
not call the path/is-dir/mtime comparison byte-for-byte proof. Either extend the
snapshot to include file contents or content hashes, or revise the wording to
state that only filesystem metadata remained identical and remove the “strongest
possible” claim.
In
@.vcsdd/features/self-improve-checkpoint-resume/verification/verification-report.md:
- Around line 3-29: Reconcile the proof-obligation total in the verification
report with the table, which contains 20 listed PROP rows including
PROP-CR-LIVE1. Update the headline and any related count text to reflect all
listed obligations, or explicitly identify and exclude one row so the report is
internally consistent.
In @.vcsdd/history.jsonl:
- Around line 348-354: Append the missing implementation, review, hardening,
convergence, and completion phase-transition and gate events to the history log
for self-improve-checkpoint-resume, using the corresponding order, phases,
verdicts, timestamps, and metadata declared in state.json. Preserve the existing
JSONL entries and ensure the final history state matches the feature’s recorded
completion at 2026-07-11T22:45:30Z.

Use ASCII-only digit matching in both regexes. \d accepts Unicode decimal digits under Python’s default regex mode, so _RUN_ID_RE and _CHECKPOINT_RE should use [0-9] or re.ASCII. Add a regression test with a non-ASCII digit.

Align the regression gate with the documented baseline. The feature already records 18 pre-existing failures in evidence/green-phase.md/verification-report.md, so this should say “no new failures” and reference the parent-commit baseline instead of “must remain green.”

Do not describe a metadata snapshot as byte-for-byte proof.
The listed snapshot compares path, directory status, and mtime, not file contents. Either add content hashes/bytes to the test snapshot, or change the audit to claim metadata-only equality; otherwise the “strongest possible purity evidence” statement overstates what was verified.

run_evolve.shfires on a recurring ~6h launchd timer and, until now, always startedopenevolve-runfrom a cold population (the single committed baseline strategy), discarding its own MAP-Elites checkpoints at the end of every cycle. This was the confirmed root cause of 3 consecutive ~6h cycles producing a tiedcombined_scorewith zero forward progress for 18+ hours (live logs, self-improve-evolve.log).This adds ONE pre-invocation step to
run_evolve.sh: before callingopenevolve-run, look for the most recent prior run's highest-numbered checkpoint and pass it via--checkpoint <path>— an existing, already-installedopenevolve-runCLI flag, never a new mechanism.
