retro

The Infiquetra lifecycle META-IMPROVEMENT ENGINE. The TERMINAL, ADVISORY lifecycle phase downstream of /qa — it reads the work that shipped, gathers evidence (git forensics behind a stale-base/wrong-today BLOCK guard, saga trajectory, gh issues/PRs READ-ONLY, session transcripts), interviews the operator, writes a concise agent-consumable retro doc, PROMOTES generalizable findings into the engineering journal (pure-append, auto), CURATES the journal + auto-memory (staleness / contradiction / dedup / rule-enforcement sweeps, propose-diff-and-wait), MARKS the select cross-repo learnings transcendent for the promote layer (single-repo, propose-diff-and-wait), and runs net-new meta-improvement passes (new-skill detection, refine the lifecycle SKILLs, refine directives, prune memory) — every one gated. It never blocks the chain it follows, never mutates the world, never writes the saga, and never self-applies a non-journal edit. Triggers on "retro", "retrospective", "what did we learn", "leave the system smarter", a /qa hand-in, or the end of a meaningful work loop / PR / deploy.
