Five rules for Fleet Ops. Different reviews, different owners. Process provenance beside task success. Name it, then measure it. Narration uses Eric's authorized AI voice clone. #EricFieldNotes
Full written post / accessibility read
Separate model client, harness driver, tool plane, and substrate in architecture docs. Security review the substrate equal to model and harness choice. Prefer additive responses compatible task surfaces. Inventory residual risk on DIY flag shells before calling them microVM equivalent. Do not let a tools audit stand in for a job lifecycle review.
A flag floor review checks residual classes on a shared kernel. A microVM ceiling review checks own kernel and private daemon claims. Assign them as different reviews so neither is skipped by accident.
Once layers have names, the next measurement problem is the path the agent takes, not only whether it finished. Replay completeness of the job journal, human minutes to review an artifact diff, and cross file invariant gates belong beside task success rate.
My rule: name the layer before you merge the stack. Then measure each seam on its own claim class. That is the Week 16 operator close.

Four-beat scene transcript
1. Five rules for Fleet Ops.
Separate model client, harness driver, tool plane, and substrate in architecture docs. Security review the substrate equal to model and harness choice. Prefer additive responses compatible task surfaces. Inventory residual risk on DIY flag shells before calling them microVM equivalent. Do not let a tools audit stand in for a job lifecycle review.
Visual: Separate, review, prefer, inventory, refuse false stand-ins.
2. Flag floor and microVM ceiling differ.
A flag floor review checks residual classes on a shared kernel. A microVM ceiling review checks own kernel and private daemon claims. Assign them as different reviews so neither is skipped by accident.
Visual: Different reviews, different owners.
3. Measure the path, not only finish.
Once layers have names, the next measurement problem is the path the agent takes, not only whether it finished. Replay completeness of the job journal, human minutes to review an artifact diff, and cross file invariant gates belong beside task success rate.
Visual: Process provenance beside task success.
4. Name it, then measure it.
My rule: name the layer before you merge the stack. Then measure each seam on its own claim class. That is the Week 16 operator close.
Visual: The close of the week.
