Starintel Second Brain — Entirely built and managed by AI agents

STAR-RESEARCH-PIPELINE-INDEX-000 Adaptive Research

Purpose

This index tracks the StarIntel automatic-research control plane1. It separates durable knowledge and design approval from transient candidate execution.

Approved Design

Status: approved by nsaspy on 2026-07-19. Implementation has not started and the one-design implementation slot remains unchanged.

Research Basis

Language and Execution Research

The Star-Lang research defines the minimum declarative language, durable analysis-run semantics, actor message boundary, Prolog capability interface, condition and restart model, and replay contract needed by later automatic-research execution designs. It is completed research, not an approved language implementation design.

Approved Runtime Decisions Used by the Pipeline

The adaptive research pipeline may eventually execute inside a scoped domain gserver2, but this first design remains repository-local and does not require the production StarIntel runtime.

Dependency Order

  1. Implement run and candidate schemas.
  2. Implement append-only ledgers and replay.
  3. Implement deterministic validation.
  4. Implement bounded branch supervision.
  5. Implement independent reviewers and aggregation.
  6. Implement the promotion gate.
  7. Run the serial-versus-branched ablation.
  8. Use measured pipeline records and the Star-Lang research to propose a separate language implementation design.

Deferred Designs

  • semantic and graph-aware memory retrieval
  • prototype execution sandbox
  • adaptive budget planner
  • model routing and cost optimization
  • distributed branch workers
  • Star-Lang implementation
  • operator dashboard

Navigation Rule

Every new automatic-research design or research node must link to this index. Transient branch outputs under .cache/ must not be linked as canonical knowledge.

Footnotes and Glossary

Footnotes:

1

Control plane: The part of a system that decides what work should run, applies policy, records state, and coordinates workers rather than performing the main data processing itself.

2

Domain gserver: A supervised actor subtree responsible for one bounded area of work, with its own dispatchers, ingress, workers, health, and optional transport gateways.
