+- **Monthly CogArch workshop (2026-10-22 sync):** current task covers Shorts introduction, Upcoming Shorts and Reference Architectures with five in-progress pilots/search reminder. User reported actual PPTX rendering unlike previews; existing correction/LibreOffice record is not final PowerPoint/Keynote acceptance. Anchor `1562569220850581606`.
+- **CUGA comparison (2026-10-22 sync):** balanced standalone Hermes–CUGA evaluation based on public sources, not a migration/adoption argument; retain three final feature-mapping appendices. Initial history reconciled through `1562435905346609214`; no deployment/integration authorized. Channel-workflow delivery evidence retained without independent rerun.
+- **Eldorado repository (verified 2026-10-22):** user requested public visibility; authenticated metadata confirms `eldorado-v1/documentation` is public. Confirmation anchor `1562405021952245894`; no settings changed by daily sync.
 
 - **eShop Shorts direction (2026-10-17):** RootAtSkic requested topics for a connected series building eShop architecture before implementation (`1561039420575064177`). Episode sequence, technology stack and distribution remain undecided; no production/publication approval inferred. Latest processed human anchor `1561045336582004757`; live daily read verified 2026-10-18.

 ## Active Topics
+- **Run #190, 2026-10-22:** live REST scanned 36/37 authoritative IDs, now including CUGA; retained test channel remains absent. Reconciled CUGA comparison direction, monthly-workshop slide requirements/rendering caveat, and Eldorado public-repository request (public metadata independently verified). Human anchors: CUGA `1562435905346609214`, Shorts `1562569220850581606`, Eldorado `1562405021952245894`. All 31 installed skill/wiki routes validated, maximum 262 characters; non-routing configuration unchanged. Mirror preflight clean/synchronized; final push/readback evidence belongs to the delivered report.
 - **Run #186, 2026-10-18:** live authenticated REST scanned 35/36 authoritative IDs; retained test channel remains absent. Reconciled two Shorts human messages with the existing eShop series direction, added the exact original request ID, and advanced its human anchor to `1561045336582004757`. Other anchors unchanged. All 30 mapped skill/wiki routes validated, maximum 262 characters; non-routing configuration unchanged. Mirror preflight clean and synchronized; final push/readback results are recorded in the delivered run report.
 - **Run #183, 2026-10-15:** authenticated live REST scan completed for 35/36 authoritative IDs; retained test channel remains absent. Nine human messages in Kreg channels captured Ingrida's low-text presentation brief and RootAtSkic's responsiveness/history/delivery follow-up requirements. Anchors advanced to general `1559828160634163242` and sandbox `1559894132892110941`; others unchanged. All 30 mapped installed skill/wiki routes verified, maximum 262 characters (symlinked skills included). No response scope, permissions or jobs changed. Existing deck record remains channel-workflow evidence; native rendering and user acceptance not independently verified.
 - **Run #182, 2026-10-14:** live REST scan completed for 35/36 authoritative IDs; retained test channel remains absent. Two human requests reconciled the Kreg general/sandbox renames and matching local folders (both verified). Their latest anchors are `1559581079378333737` / `1559580995223552094`; other anchors unchanged. Monitoring labels still say Emplonet but stable IDs remain correct; label reconciliation is open, not a coverage failure. All 30 installed skill/wiki routes verified, max 262 characters; non-routing config unchanged. Mirror preflight passed with clean main and divergence `0 0`; final push/readback evidence is reported separately.
 - Keep the channel inventory synchronized when channels are created, renamed, moved, or deleted.
 - Ensure every new channel gets a real-history wiki seed where history exists.
 - Verify config refresh and Gitea push independently after monitoring changes.

 - ✅ On 2026-09-13 the recurring health-check defect was repaired: zero-match `grep -c` output can no longer become the invalid multiline value `0\n0`, and the Discord check now recognizes the gateway's actual inbound/send activity log forms. A syntax check and complete rerun passed all four checks; the same run's authenticated Discord REST scan succeeded for 31/32 monitored channels.
 - ⚠️ Run #180 on 2026-10-12 scanned 35/36 authoritative monitored IDs through authenticated live Discord REST. Five new Shorts human messages approved blog-alignment points 1/2 (not conversion point 3) and role-aware evaluation refinements informed by the user's architecture lead. Shorts anchor advanced to `1558896305114320937`; all others unchanged. Retained `#jarvis-jr-test-001` (`1518733120831226028`) remains absent from live guild text inventory; its anchor cannot advance. All 30 mapped skill routes verified against installed skills and wiki files, maximum 262 characters; all non-routing config values unchanged. Mirror preflight passed with clean main and fetched divergence `0 0`; final push/ref/artifact results belong to the delivered run report. Channel-workflow v2.8.14 delivery records preserved; deck and native Keynote compatibility not independently validated by this scan.
 - ⚠️ RootAtSkic asked how people will obtain/use the numeric-ID Markdown channel files and whether moving the wiki to the “Google” `OKF` format would be useful. The intended format name and desired delivery interface are **UNKNOWN** and must be clarified before any migration; no format change was authorized.

 ## Primary Skill
-- Runtime skill: `corp-v1--presentation`
-- Local skill path: `/opt/data/skills/productivity/corp-v1--presentation/SKILL.md`
-- Canonical Gitea repository: `https://gitea.lego-cloud.eu/home-v1-skills-code-agent/corp-v1--presentation`
-- Supporting skills are listed in the primary skill and must be loaded when relevant.

+- The existing pinned guidance message is `1544261405232857199`; it and the topic now identify the canonical skill and repository.
+- Central channel references use `channel-<function>-skic`; project adoptions use `channel-<function>-skic-<code>`.
+- Old skill names are compatibility aliases only. Organizations and existing workspace paths are preserved.
 
-## Key Decisions
-- RootAtSkic authorized creation of `corp-v1--presentation`, attachment to this channel, and Gitea persistence in Discord message `1544260125341261884`.
-- The channel already exists as immutable Discord channel `1543922127898415154`; preserve its ID and history.
-- Reusable presentation learnings belong in the skill repository. Release-specific filenames, checksums, and completed-work records belong with each deck release.

-- Release record: `/opt/data/work/westworld-genesis-presentation-redesign-20260830/iteration-4/release-record-5.7.0.md`.
-- The 15-slide deck introduces **Utopia** between the project-scoped Agent topology and technical control plane: specialist Hermes instances serve as digital twins of professions, roles, or SDLC areas while converging on governed shared context and preserving professional authority.
-- Former slide 12, `Project channels structure the delivery lifecycle`, was removed; project channels/adopted skills now transition directly into repeatable skill behavior.
-- Lifecycle phase labels have no ordinals; Active Life uses centered two-line `SDLC` / `Iteration_XX` labels; Enterprise Governance maps `corp-v1-presentation` to `corp-v1--presentation`.
+## Current presentation
+- WestWorld Genesis **6.4.1**, a standalone offline Reveal.js HTML deck with 15 slides.
+- Verified local delivery: `/opt/data/work/westworld-genesis-reveal-6.0.0/westworld-genesis-6.4.1.html`.
+- Durable source/delivery: `artifacts/westworld-genesis/westworld-genesis-6.4.1.html` in the canonical repository. Embedded runtime/fonts make the HTML itself editable and self-contained.
+- QA files: `artifacts/westworld-genesis/qa.json` and `interactions.json`.
+- Seven animated graph slides, 46 clickable nodes, reduced-motion support, keyboard selection and visible fullscreen control.
+- Eight distinct domains: General, Scope, Architecture, UI/UX, Plan, Delivery, UAT, Releases. Plan is presentation wording; it does not rename the existing Kanban channel or skill identifiers.
+- Canonical names are reflected on governance and central-to-project skill mapping slides.
 
-## Operating Rules
-- Recover prior session and channel history before asking for repeated context.
-- Match slide feedback by visible content when numeric slide references drift.
-- Change reproducible source, bump semantic version, rebuild, extract, render, independently review, fix, and reverify.
-- Never claim Gitea persistence until the remote repository, ref, and distinctive files are read back.
+## Operating rules
+- Recover prior context before asking for it again.
+- Match feedback by visible content, not numeric slide references alone.
+- Version, render, visually inspect and test the exact artifact before delivery.
+- Keep previous releases. Verify remote content, not merely a successful push.
+- Scheduled jobs were not created, resumed or changed by the naming migration.
 
-## Current Blocker
-The configured Gitea account is prohibited from signing in, and SSH reports that the account is disabled. The runtime skill and local repository are prepared, but remote repository creation/push requires the account to be re-enabled by the Gitea administrator.
+## Publication state
+The canonical repositories are published and verified. The historical Gitea-account blocker is resolved; do not repeat it as a current blocker.

+### Monthly workshop — slide 6 draft
+- Daily sync 2026-10-22 reconciled 18 newer human messages by live REST. Current focus is the uploaded monthly workshop, not new eShop series production (`1562531583494197290`). Introduce Shorts and its four supplied videos, share practical capabilities as soon as ready, and link the subscription series; preserve the black right-side panel (`1562547054159331358`). Add Upcoming Shorts, rename the following slide Reference Architectures (`1562550552896999606`), lead with architecture search and show five in-progress pilots with user-supplied source links (`1562565758700093530`). User requested all three slides together (`1562567283413356608`) then reported PPTX appearance differing from previews (`1562569220850581606`). Existing corrected-deck/LibreOffice evidence below is preserved as channel-workflow evidence, not independently reproduced by this sync; final native PowerPoint/Keynote acceptance remains open.
+- User-reported native-render mismatch (`1562569220850581606`): all three title panels opened black with near-invisible dark text, unlike the approximate previews. Prior visual-pass claims did not establish native fidelity. Corrected three-slide file `workspace/monthly-workshop/2026-10-22_Cognitive-Architect-3-slides-1.0.1.pptx` and full deck `2026-10-22_cogArch_monthly_workshop-draft-1.2.1.pptx`: explicit white slide backgrounds and white title-panel objects, removed inherited rectangle effects, shape-level links retain explicit colors. Regression baseline fails and corrected passes; exact text/link IDs, relationship targets and unaffected package parts preserved; 77 text runs have explicit RGB and contrast >=4.5:1. Real local LibreOffice Impress rendering now succeeded: `native-render/verified/2026-10-22_Cognitive-Architect-3-slides-1.0.1.pdf` and separate `slide-01.png`–`slide-03.png` were generated from the exact corrected PPTX. White/black panel pixels checked on every page, all 12 hyperlinks survived PDF export; changed slide XML validates against ISO schema. PowerPoint/Keynote itself remains untested. Old approximate previews are superseded.
+- Reference Architectures slide 8 drafted (`1562565758700093530`) in `workspace/monthly-workshop/2026-10-22_cogArch_monthly_workshop-draft-1.2.0.pptx`: Cognitive Architect Search reminder/application link first, then five in-progress pilots (AskHR, Blockchain, AI Control Plane Architecture, AMM Architecture Modernization Reference and Delivery Framework, Governed Conversational AI in Banking). Each has the user's exact Source data link; original identifiers preserved in notes. Titles prettified, no completed-output claims. Verified 12 slides, five pilots/six links, bounds/ZIP, and only slide 8/relationships/notes changed. Approximate preview `slide-08-preview.png`; internal destinations not authenticated/verified.
+- Added Upcoming Shorts as new slide 7 (`1562548673093566677`): Build an Architecture with an AI Agent; Review and Evolve the Architecture; Generate a Solution from the Architecture. Draft full deck `workspace/monthly-workshop/2026-10-22_cogArch_monthly_workshop-shorts-draft-1.1.0.pptx` now has 12 slides; original maintenance/reference-architecture slide moves to 8. Original slide text/order preserved; new slide bounds and ZIP checks passed. Preview `slide-07-preview.png` is approximate. Subscription link retained; dates not committed.
+- Right-panel correction (`1562547107531980972`): v1.0.1 adds explicit near-black right panel, light body text and light-blue links; left title panel stays white. Updated full deck `workspace/monthly-workshop/2026-10-22_cogArch_monthly_workshop-slide6-draft-1.0.1.pptx`. ZIP, slide count, five links, bounds and unchanged other package parts verified; approximate preview visually checked.
+- User switched focus to uploaded `2026-10-22_cogArch_monthly_workshop.pptx` and authorized drafting slide 6 (message `1562544780268019733`). Slide 7 remains untouched.
+- Shorts purpose: share capabilities and practical walkthroughs as soon as ready, without waiting for the monthly workshop. Four supplied videos: 148767 (Solution Factory), 149084 (VS Code Local Setup), 149441 (Agent Skills for Architecture), 149593 (Does Architecture Still Matter in the AI Era?).
+- Subscription destination: https://w3.ibm.com/services/lighthouse/spotlight/videos/series/4523 .
+- Draft full deck: `/opt/data/cogarch-v1-shorts/workspace/monthly-workshop/2026-10-22_cogArch_monthly_workshop-slide6-draft-1.0.0.pptx`; preview `slide-06-preview.png` alongside it. Only slide 6 XML/relationships and its existing notes changed; all other package parts byte-identical. Verified 11 slides, five hyperlinks, ZIP and bounds. Preview approximate; native PowerPoint rendering not tested. Draft awaits user feedback.
+
 ### eShop Shorts series — new direction
 - RootAtSkic requested a connected series building eShop architecture first, then implementation (source `1561039420575064177`, 2026-10-17 15:33 UTC; reminder `1561045336582004757`). Current request is a proposed topic list, not production or publication. Episode sequence remains a proposal pending feedback; no technology stack or distribution format decided. Daily sync 2026-10-18 verified both human messages through live Discord REST; reminder adds no separate requirement.

+- The skill explicitly documents both private Gitea organizations and their separate project-repository versus project-skill roles.
+- Exact-commit authenticated remote SKILL.md equals checkout and runtime bytes; local and remote Git refs match.
+- Authorization is specific to this organization and channel-skill repository; no application repositories or automation were created.
+
+## CUGA import and comparison
+RootAtSkic authorized importing CUGA into skic-cuga and producing extensive Hermes comparison as a Reveal.js HTML presentation, with Anime.js where useful (message `1562386610929016832`).
+- Private independent import: https://gitea.lego-cloud.eu/skic-cuga/cuga-agent; not a scheduled mirror.
+- Upstream main snapshot: `b219b48184c1544481e2568f2978ffb09fe8fbbb`; 246 branches and 45 tags verified equal to fetched upstream refs. Main default, README and LICENSE readback verified.
+- Hermes upstream comparison snapshot: `8cf3a0b03d86a61c2ac9d50cd178acca86f6b564`; not an audit of the installed runtime.
+- HTML: `/opt/data/channels/cuga-general/artifacts/CUGA-vs-Hermes.html`.
+- Companion bundle: `/opt/data/channels/cuga-general/artifacts/CUGA-vs-Hermes-analysis.zip`.
+- 29 narrative slides and 25 evidence slides; 50 qualified source claims. Detailed reports/ledgers under `research/`.
+- Recommendation: retain Hermes as operator continuity, evaluate CUGA as a bounded complementary service. Static identity/policy-failure/execution-isolation concerns require controlled validation before exposure.
+- Verification: immutable source locators and Git blobs checked; CUGA Python AST checks passed (syntax only). Browser navigation, offline loading, Anime.js replay, reduced-motion default and mobile reader exercised. No matched-model benchmark, product test suite, production deployment or exploit test performed.
+
+## Revised technical-executive comparison
+User message `1562398523239170128` requested 10–15 slides, challenged the implied absence of Hermes policy control, and authorized read-only login/inspection of https://jarvis-jr-v1.lego-cloud.eu.
+- Corrected deliverable: `/opt/data/channels/cuga-general/artifacts/executive/CUGA-vs-Hermes-executive.html` — exactly 14 slides, no slide appendix; supersedes the earlier asymmetric policy framing.
+- Evidence companion: `/opt/data/channels/cuga-general/artifacts/executive/CUGA-vs-Hermes-executive-evidence.zip`.
+- Existing Keycloak account authenticated successfully. Inspected all 19 navigation routes and 11 targeted configuration sections. UI reports v0.20.2; exact installed commit not established. No configuration saves, job execution, task changes or credential reveals.
+- Hermes supports general pre-tool veto/approval/argument rewriting, managed configuration, middleware and output transforms. Capabilities, configured state and tested enforcement are distinct.
+- 13 CUGA advantage hypotheses challenged: 5 packaging differences, 3 overlaps, 3 unproven, 2 qualified advantages (versioned publication and integrated knowledge workflow). 41 exact code excerpts verified against immutable Git blobs.
+- Console displayed approvals.mode=off and terminal.backend=local; unchanged, not runtime-tested. These are deployment settings, not missing product capabilities.
+- HTML browser checks passed: 14 slides, no JavaScript errors/network loads/content overlap, navigation/animation/reduced-motion/mobile reading tested. Evidence ZIP rebuilt byte-identically. No product benchmark or production security certification.
+
+## Audience-ready presentation
+User message `1562404907091234829` requires the deck to stand alone for viewers with no conversation history.
+- Current audience-facing deliverable: `/opt/data/channels/cuga-general/artifacts/standalone/CUGA-Hermes-Platform-Comparison.html` (14 slides).
+- Narrative introduces AI agents and both products, sets selection criteria, compares management/governance/architecture/integration/knowledge/publication/security/cost, and closes with workload fit and a pilot recommendation.
+- Removed correction/rebuttal language, internal project assumptions, private-console links and deployment-specific settings. Public evidence links and assessment limits remain.
+- Revalidated all 14 slides: no JavaScript errors, external resource loads or content/footer overlap; navigation, animation and mobile report mode passed. Prior versions preserved.
+
+## Outcome-coverage presentation
+User message `1562407966366502945` requested a full reframing away from CUGA-favoring positioning and exactly three final appendix slides mapping CUGA features to investigated Hermes equivalents.
+- Current deliverable: `/opt/data/channels/cuga-general/artifacts/outcomes/Hermes-CUGA-Outcome-Coverage.html` — 12 standalone narrative slides plus 3 final feature-mapping appendices, 15 slides total.
+- New angle: can Hermes meet the required outcome, and what evidence would justify a second platform? Recommendation is to validate Hermes capabilities/integration paths before adoption decisions.
+- Appendices map 15 selected features across guidance/controls, execution/operations, and knowledge/lifecycle. Each distinguishes built-in/setup, configuration, extension/integration and custom workflow. Versioned publication is explicitly a proposed external release workflow, not verified native publish-UI parity.
+- Evidence companion: `/opt/data/channels/cuga-general/artifacts/outcomes/Feature-Mapping-Evidence.md`. Checked 26 immutable source links and 12 live documentation URLs; all source blobs/ranges matched and documentation returned 200.
+- Browser verification passed for all 15 slides, offline loading, navigation, animation, reduced motion and mobile reading. No product runtime parity benchmark or deployment changes.
+
+## Direct side-by-side comparison
+User message `1562435905346609214` clarified that the goal is public-web-based evaluation/comparison, not migration or a Hermes-first adoption argument. Every main topic must show both products at comparable detail.
+- Latest deliverable: `/opt/data/channels/cuga-general/artifacts/comparison/Hermes-vs-CUGA-Technical-Comparison.html`.
+- 15 slides total: introduction plus 11 paired main-content slides, followed by the 3 previously requested feature-mapping appendices.
+- Both developer surfaces are explicit: Hermes SDK-compatible APIs/plugins/tools/hooks versus CUGA Python SDK/providers. Architecture uses separately labeled product diagrams. Governance explains blocked calls, continued execution and approval-check errors in concrete terms.
+- Paired topics: product overview, execution architecture, developer interfaces, rules/approvals/failure behavior, multi-agent coordination, memory/knowledge, management/publication, connectivity/automation, security, operating implications and comparison conclusions.
+- Verified 39 distinct immutable source links against Git blobs/line ranges. Browser checks passed: all 15 slides fit; no JavaScript errors or external rendering requests; keyboard, contents, animation, mobile and reduced-motion behavior passed.
+
+## Open context
+No runtime adoption, production deployment or CUGA–Hermes integration has been authorized or implemented. The presentation proposes an isolated pilot with explicit acceptance gates.
+
+## Source anchor — daily sync 2026-10-22
+- Latest processed human message: `1562435905346609214`.
+- First daily scan reconciled 16 human messages from full available channel history because no durable scan anchor existed. Current direction is a balanced public-web-based comparison, not migration or a Hermes-first adoption argument; preserve standalone audience context and three final mapping appendices. Requests and exact message IDs were verified live; import, presentation and browser-validation records above remain channel-workflow evidence, not independently re-executed by this sync.
