Week 5 · Observed integrated run · Synthetic DEV
Ready for human review. Not ready to plan.
The stop is the demonstrated autonomy boundary.
One uninterrupted read-only execution used separate Knowledge and Gateway sessions. It assembled enough evidence to support human review, while refusing to turn an unresolved release fact into authority for a plan.
Outcome first
ready_for_human_review
The run combined version-scoped official documentation, one explicitly selected private procedure and a bounded observation of one authorised synthetic record in DEV. The documentary, project and live-read gates were mutually consistent.
A later bounded administrative read attributed the DEV platform version as AR System 26.1.01. The exact version of the separate CMDB component could not be attributed through the available read paths. The agent therefore stopped before planning.
No plan was created. No record was changed, no SQL was used, and neither QA nor PROD was contacted.
Integrated evidence path
Separate tools. One governed decision.
Official evidence · Knowledge
The agent retrieved and expanded version-scoped official CMDB documentation, preserving its public source and provenance. Documentation established applicable context; it did not establish the live target's component version or authorise an action.
Private procedure · Knowledge
A separately scoped, explicitly selected project space supplied the authorised synthetic procedure. Its identity, mapping and contents remain private and are not reproduced here.
Bounded live observation · Gateway
In a separate Gateway session, the agent selected DEV explicitly, confirmed a healthy non-production path and observed one policy-bounded synthetic record. Only counts, check outcomes, health and the decision were retained for publication.
Contrast and stop · Agent
The agent distinguished AR System from the CMDB component rather than relabelling an adjacent version. Because that release gate remained unresolved, the next permissible result was human review—not a plan.
What the run establishes
Useful autonomy includes knowing where to stop.
The agent completed a governed read path across both servers without making either server call the other. It preserved source scope, compared documentary and live evidence, and surfaced a material unknown instead of smoothing it over.
Stopping before planning demonstrates the boundary: evidence can justify presenting a case to a human without justifying a proposed change. Any future planning attempt would be a new step requiring fresh live-state checks, attributable CMDB release alignment, reconciliation checks and a named human owner for verification and reversal.
This is an observed acceptance run of the authority chain. It is not a language-model benchmark, a write execution, or evidence that autonomous production action is safe.
Publication boundary
Sanitised by design.
The public account omits private form and field names, qualifications, identifiers, expected values, endpoints, credentials, private project content and raw rows. Those details are not needed to understand or audit the authority decision.
The complete sanitised source report is public in the Helix MCP Knowledge repository.
