Failed runs informed the next attempt, leading to eventual success.\n\n2. **Specialization builds are reliable**: All phase1-phase2 specialization builds (engineering, science, business, social-sciences, humanities) completed successfully on first attempt.\n\n3. **Most runs complete on first attempt**: 63/69 terminal runs (91%) completed successfully, indicating the orchestration process is mature.\n\n4. **Deprecation tasks are risky**: The breakpoints package deprecation failed twice before being abandoned — suggests deprecation processes need extra care.\n\n5. **Plugin/harness development is stable**: Zero failures across plugin, harness, and assimilation runs.\n\n## What Worked Well\n\n- **Phased specialization builds**: Breaking domain knowledge into phase1 (research) + phase2 (implementation) produced reliable results across all domains\n- **SDK DX optimization**: Single-pass improvements to CLI, plugins, and developer experience all succeeded\n- **Testing infrastructure**: CI test assertions and packaging checks converged successfully\n- **Process library expansion**: The methodology and specialization library grew from ~8 to 30+ entries reliably\n\n## What Didn't Work\n\n- **Methodology backlog v1-v3**: Three failures before v4 succeeded — the scope was too large for a single run, needed incremental approach\n- **Deprecation processes**: breakpoints package deprecation failed twice — removal of existing functionality needs more careful orchestration\n- **Milestone-1 E2E iteration**: The early E2E test milestone failed, likely due to immature infrastructure\n\n## Recommendations\n\n1. **Break large scope into incremental runs** rather than attempting everything in one process\n2. **Add deprecation-specific methodology** with rollback gates and compatibility checks\n3. **Keep using phased specialization patterns** (phase1 research + phase2 implementation) — proven reliable\n4. **Archive run insights periodically** (this cleanup process) to prevent .a5c/runs/ from growing unbounded\n5. **Consider auto-cleanup hook** that runs after each completed run to prevent accumulation\n\n---\n\n## Cleanup Round 2 — 2026-05-06\n\n### Summary\n- **240 terminal runs removed** (older than 7 days, ~80MB freed)\n- **359 orphaned process files removed** (~3.8MB freed)\n- **23 recent runs retained** (2026-04-30 to 2026-05-06)\n- Post-cleanup: 2.6MB runs, 919KB processes\n\n### Run Categories (2026-04-30 to 2026-05-06)\n\n**adapters webui convergence** (5 runs) — iterative compendium design kit migration with live gateway validation. Multi-batch approach, each run picking up where the last left off.\n\n**Release infrastructure** (4 runs) — release-artifact-reproducibility migration needed 4 attempts to converge. Publish tag fixes, version sync across external plugin repos.\n\n**Triggers package** (3 runs) — refactor, hardening, gap closure. Sequential refinement pattern.\n\n**Atlas migration** (2 runs) — monorepo migration from v6 repo, domain enrichment. Manual orchestration (no hook-driven continuation available).\n\n**Adapter refactoring** (1 run) — extensions-adapter per-harness adapter extraction. Partially manual.\n\n**SDK enhancements** (1 run) — version markers in run artifacts.\n\n**Documentation** (2 runs) — overview.md generation, v6 announcement doc.\n\n### Patterns\n\n- **Multi-batch convergence** continues to be the dominant pattern — webui usability used 5 sequential runs\n- **Release pipeline work** is high-retry — 4 attempts for artifact reproducibility\n- **Atlas integration** required manual orchestration due to hook limitations in the current environment\n- **Most runs hit 8 journal events** (typical phase ceiling)\n\n### Data Loss Notice\n\n240 runs were removed before insights were fully aggregated from their journals. Future cleanups must run `aggregate-insights` BEFORE `remove-runs`.\n",
