/dump - Action Wrapper for /capture --deep

/dump is not a separate capture engine. It invokes /capture --deep, renders the shared lifecycle ledger, then takes the obvious next lifecycle action only when the ledger proves the row is durable and write-authorized.

Entity Reconciliation

After authorized material progress, reconcile touched and causally affected artifacts before routing, handoff, or final response. Track entity ref, island/provider locator (a path for file storage), basis/evidence, and the reason/action due. Update through the verified owning CLI/adapter; use a write-authorized skill fallback only when that operation is unavailable. Record updated, no_change(reason), or blocked(reason), preserving unresolved refs. Reading or mentioning a path alone creates no update obligation. Read-only work reports pending changes only. Reminders grant no write authority; task status stays with the bound tracker. Update only artifacts whose content or evidence changed; do not rewrite every referenced document.

Work Link

Lifecycle lane: Shape -> Plan Entity movement: memory -> captured | proposed | execution_ready | blocked Workstream: resolve active workstream before writing capture artifacts Upstream: conversation, /work Downstream: /capture --deep, /prior-art, /propose, /exec Router: /work HUD: end with 🧬 {ws} ⚡{exec_count} 📥{capture_count} ⏸️{paused_count} ✅{done_count} | 🚦{gate}={score} | ⏭️ {next} | 🔁{loop_state}

Protocol

steps:
  - id: invoke_capture_deep
    action: Run the /capture deep-mode inventory and fidelity loop.
    validation: "Every topic has a durable route or blocker and appears in the shared capture ledger."
    on_failure: "Return to /capture with the unresolved bucket."

  - id: render_capture_ledger
    action: Render the same compact <capture-results> delta used by /capture; retain the complete ledger in the durable artifact.
    validation: "The response names what was saved, what remains in memory, the highest-leverage decision, and the next route."
    on_failure: "Do not route. Show the full ledger only for --full, audit, or debug."

  - id: probe_prior_art
    action: Search existing work per topic before creating new artifacts.
    validation: "Each new proposal has no better existing home."
    on_failure: "Route to /prior-art and stop proposal creation for that topic."

  - id: route_next
    action: Take the next action for shovel-ready rows: /exec for execution_ready, /propose for aligned captured work, /interview for ambiguous rows.
    validation: "No routed item has current_location=memory without artifact_ref, blocker, or explicit write authorization."
    on_failure: "Show the blocked items and missing gate."

Red Flags

• "Dump can skip prior-art."
• "This is just a list."
• "We can leave low-priority items in memory."
• "Dump should implement its own capture protocol."
• "Dump can skip the shared ledger because it routes immediately."
• "A metric table is enough to prove what is on disk."
• "Dump can turn proposal language into writes without a canon write gate."

Related

• /capture --deep owns inventory, fidelity, durable artifact writes, the canon write gate, and the shared ledger.
• /prior-art avoids duplicate artifacts.
• /propose creates task DNA and execution plans.
• /exec handles execution-ready entities.
