Craft Goal

Craft the autonomy contract above AgentOps RPI. A goal is a persistent Mayor over a bead-shaped experiment graph. Each RPI is one scientific trial; the goal selects the next useful trial, preserves what was learned, and ratchets toward a larger outcome.

Goal / Mayor: observe graph → choose bounded wave → consume verdicts → ratchet
  └─ Bead: durable experiment intent, context, scratch, evidence, and links
       └─ RPI: plan → implement → fresh validate → bounded repair → verdict → report
            └─ Implementation: one RED → GREEN → refactor experiment

The number of RPIs need not be known in advance. The goal is safe when success is decidable, every experiment is bounded, evidence retains its provenance, and the authorization envelope cannot silently renew itself. Beliefs are revisable: new evidence may retract an earlier claim. More stored knowledge is neither progress nor proof that knowledge is correct.
