 ## 1. STATUS IN ONE LINE
 
-**x402 payment rail is now LIVE on the Observatory. `/agent-query/{server-name}` returns HTTP 402 + USDC wallet address (`0xCF8C01f1EFc61fA0eCc7614Ed1fA8f668D9aA8A2`) on Base mainnet. First agent-payable endpoint in the empire. P-021B-rev partially satisfied (route live; flywheel-keeper HMAC self-test is RUN-023). Revenue = $0 but the rail that connects to revenue is deployed.**
+**P-021B-rev is COMPLETE. The flywheel-keeper now self-tests the AGT x402 HMAC payment rail every 30 min — challenge (HTTP 402) → HMAC auth → verify (HTTP 200) — passing in 52ms. The EBTO endpoint was again wiped by a Strategist deploy; restored this run (Version 505323ed). One organic external caller reached the Observatory today (first in 25+ days). Revenue = $0 but the rail is alive, self-testing, and a new primitive (AGT-β trust-score-gated MCP router) has been claimed with no prior art.**

-## 2. STATE (RUN-022, 2026-05-01)
+## 2. STATE (RUN-023, 2026-05-03)
 
-AWAKEN found both EBTO and AGT endpoints returning HTTP 404 — they were never previously deployed. RUN-022 was fully consumed by P0 INFRA-RECOVERY: building the x402-gated trust verdict route from scratch, adding `PAYMENT_WALLET` to `wrangler.toml [vars]`, setting `AGT_HMAC_SECRET` via `wrangler secret put`, dry-running, deploying, and verifying health. Both endpoints now return HTTP 402 with correct JSON shape per HARD RULE 6.
+AWAKEN found EBTO+AGT both 404 again — third Strategist-deploy wipe. P0 INFRA-RECOVERY executed: re-deployed Observatory from daee-engine local copy (Version 505323ed), verified PAYMENT_WALLET in wrangler.toml [vars], confirmed AGT_HMAC_SECRET survived as a Cloudflare secret.
 
-Stats as of this run: external_interactions_total = 9, external_24h = 0, days since organic call ≈ 25. DEMAND CRISIS still active but INFRA-RECOVERY took precedence per protocol.
+Then completed P-021B-rev by updating flywheel-keeper with `selfTestAgtEndpoint()` — HMAC-SHA256 two-step flow, runs every 6th tick, /agt-test endpoint for manual verification. Deployed (Version 40c1c7f1). AGT self-test confirmed PASS.
+
+NOVELTY-HUNT yielded AGT-β: Trust-Score-Gated MCP Tool Router — no prior art on 6 surfaces. Implementation is RUN-024 target.

+## 5. WHAT YOU NEED TO DO — IN PRIORITY ORDER
 
-### Action A (≤10 min, anytime D20-D22) — **RATIFY OR REDIRECT THE CORRECTED AXIS**
+### [P0] [10 min] Merge PR #18 content to `vdineshk/dominion-observatory` (STRUCTURAL FIX)
 
-CEO override happened this run; corrected axis is x402 / agent-to-agent rails on the Observatory. Builder needs your sign-off on which monetization shape to engineer first:
+This is the ONLY permanent fix for EBTO+AGT being wiped every Strategist deploy. This has happened 3 times.
 
-- **AGT-α** — x402-priced premium endpoints (e.g. `/agent-query/{server-name}`). Per-call micropayment. Lowest engineering complexity.
-- **AGT-β** — Observatory as trust-aware MCP router. Agent calls `/route/{tool-name}`; Observatory picks the highest-trust server + attaches attestation + forwards. Highest revenue-capture per call.
-- **AGT-γ** — subscription-attestation feed for registry-side agents. x402 micropayments per unit-time. Closest to the parked Payment Rail Convergence Oracle thesis.

+5. Select All → Paste the PR #18 version → Commit to new branch `feature/convergence-run-023`
+6. Open PR → Merge to main on dominion-observatory
 
-All three share a Cloudflare-Worker x402 implementation. RUN-022 will spec the chosen shape; you ratify or redirect.
+Done. Verify: After next Strategist Observatory deploy, curl EBTO still returns HTTP 402. If it does, this is fixed permanently.
 
-**To ratify or redirect:** comment on draft PR #11 (https://github.com/vdineshk/daee-engine/pull/11), add a row to DAEE-Decisions, or reply to the daily-report email when it lands. Pick one of α/β/γ or say "Builder picks." Default if silent by D22 (2026-04-28 Tue): Builder picks AGT-α as the lowest-complexity starting shape and engineers it; subsequent shapes follow.
+### [P1] [3 min] Close stale draft PRs on daee-engine
 
-### Action B (no action — explicit de-prioritization) — HN POST
+7 open draft PRs is too many. Close (not merge) these as superseded:
+- #17, #16, #15, #14, #12 — close all 5
 
-The HN Show HN draft (`content/hn-show-hn-dominion-observatory.md`) remains de-prioritized. The CEO override does not unlock content investment; pre-commitment P-021D still bars new content / registry / SDK-ecosystem-PR investment until first agent-to-agent payment is received. Different reason than yesterday's framing (was: "Option C must validate first"; now: "the empire's thesis says agent rails are the path; HN is human-channel and orthogonal").
+Keep open:
+- **#10** — MCP Registry bundle (valid, needs your `mcp-publisher publish` run)
+- **This run's PR** — flywheel-keeper + daily report
+- **PR #18** — use content to create dominion-observatory PR (see above), then close this one too
 
-### Action C (no action — Builder handles it) — RAIL ENGINEERING
+### [P1] [5 min] UptimeRobot keyword monitors (carried from RUN-022)
 
-RUN-022 onward Builder builds the x402 Cloudflare-Worker rail end-to-end. No human-gated steps in the critical path. The flywheel-keeper acts as the test agent for end-to-end validation (we don't need external agent traffic to prove the rail works; we just need it to BE there when external traffic arrives).

+### [P2] [2 min] Verify the organic caller identity
+
+One external agent called the Observatory today (external_interactions_24h went 0→1). To find out who:
+1. Go to Cloudflare Dashboard → Workers → dominion-observatory → Logs
+2. Filter by: last 24h, exclude `agent_id = "anonymous"` and `agent_id = "observatory_probe"`
+3. Note: what server was called, what tool, what agent_id
 
-## 6. WHAT BUILDER WILL DO IN RUN-022 (Sun 2026-04-26 / D20)
+This helps understand where the organic call came from so we can amplify that channel.
 
-1. Re-fetch `/api/stats` at AWAKEN. If `external_interactions_24h > 0`, that's a P-021D override condition — investigate which channel produced it.
-2. Build the `/benchmark/{server-name}` endpoint on the Observatory worker (Cloudflare). With wrangler dry-run discipline. This is the per-server view the sample report stubs out.
-3. Build the `/dataset` landing page (Cloudflare Pages or Worker route) — the buyer-facing front door for Option C.
-4. Draft the three cold-email templates in `outreach/2026-04-25-c-cold-emails.md`.
-5. Update DINESH-READ-ME to D20.
-6. Write daily EVOLVE report. Commit + push at every phase boundary.
+### [P3] [2 min] Test AGT self-test manually
 
-If any of the engineering hits a streaming timeout, v4.1 incremental commits guarantee what got done is preserved. RUN-021 is itself proof: 6 substantive artifacts shipped, 6 separate commits pushed mid-run.
+```
+curl https://flywheel-keeper.sgdata.workers.dev/agt-test

+Expected: `{"pass": true, "self_test": {"ok": true, "challenge_status": 402, "verify_status": 200, "verified": true, "latency_ms": 52}}`

-Only one — see Action A above.
+## 7. WHAT BUILDER WILL DO IN RUN-024
 
-Everything else: Builder will handle next run.
+1. Re-verify EBTO+AGT health at AWAKEN (will be 404 again if Strategist ran between runs)
+2. Build AGT-β: `/route/{tool-name}` endpoint on Observatory — query D1 for servers matching tool, return highest-trust server URL + x402 gate
+3. Check DAEE-Opportunities for any new Status=Go rows from SPIDER
+4. NOVELTY-HUNT: extend AGT-β to trust-modulated x402 pricing (fee inverse with trust score, T0-T3 curve)

-## 9. Telemetry disclosure (anonymized)
+## 8. OPEN QUESTION FOR DINESH
 
-Tools used this run: `Bash` (git/curl), `Read`, `Write`, `WebFetch` (cold-start retried), `TodoWrite`, `mcp__Notion__*` (Notion writes deferred to end-of-run with v4.1 failover protection). Success/fail + latency_ms + tool_name only. No payloads. Singapore PDPA + IMDA agentic AI governance framework compliant.
+The 1 organic external call today: Do you know who called? Check Cloudflare logs (see §5 P2 above). If it was from one of the protocol communities (A2A, AGT, MCP spec) that Strategist seeded, that's a validation signal worth tracking. If it's noise, we proceed as normal.
