+* Flight Plan: Fix Chat Skill Parsing
+:PROPERTIES:
+:STATUS: FINISHED
+:END:
+
+** Analyst Phase
+The Chat skill currently tells the LLM to output Org-mode subtrees, but the =org-agent= kernel evaluates LLM output via =read-from-string=. This expects a valid s-expression, specifically a Common Lisp property list (plist) that targets an Emacs actuator with an =:insert-at-end= action. We must explicitly mandate that the LLM wraps its conversational output in this plist.
+
+** Coder Phase
+- [X] Create =inbox/flight-plan-chat-fix.org= (this file).
+- [X] Update =notes/org-skill-chat.org= to instruct the LLM to return exactly: =(:target :emacs :payload (:action :insert-at-end :buffer "*org-agent-chat*" :text "..."))=
+- [X] Fix tangle paths to root-relative =../projects/...=
+
+** Tester Phase
+- [X] Tangle the file via =emacs --batch=.
+- [X] Perform syntax check with SBCL.
+- [X] Verified that =projects/org-skill-chat/src/chat-logic.lisp= is correctly generated and valid.
+- [ ] User to reload skill and test in Emacs.

+
+** Analyst Phase
+The user is seeing the agent's meta-commentary (e.g., "Okay, I've inserted...") and the "Thinking..." status block is not being removed. This is because:
+1. The LLM prompt is not strict enough about forbidding explanations.
+2. The Emacs =:insert-at-end= actuator blindly appends without checking for the previous status message.
+

+   - "Thinking..." is replaced by the response.
+   - No "Okay, I've inserted..." preamble appears.

+#+TITLE: Flight Plan: Verified Clean Build & LLM Test
+#+AUTHOR: Gemini CLI
+#+DATE: 2026-04-01
+#+FILETAGS: :psf:build:qa:
+#+STARTUP: content
+
+* Overview
+This flight plan defines the strict, step-by-step protocol for escaping the Lisp caching trap, properly tangling the literate source, and verifying the live OpenRouter connection. 
+
+*Rule:* The agent MUST check off each step and verify its success output BEFORE proceeding to the next step. No chained commands.
+
+* Phase A: Purge & Verify (The Scientist)
+** DONE 1. Nuke the Lisp Cache
+- Action: Delete =~/.cache/common-lisp/= to destroy all stale =.fasl= binaries.
+- Verification: The directory must not exist.
+- Result: *SUCCESS: Cache purged.*
+
+** DONE 2. Verify Literate Source Syntax
+- Action: Read the =get-embedding= and =execute-openrouter-request= functions in =docs/README.org=.
+- Verification: Ensure there are no unmatched parentheses or syntax errors that would break the Emacs tangling process.
+- Result: *SUCCESS: Syntax verified (no unmatched parentheses found).*
+
+* Phase B: Tangle & Audit (The Coder)
+** TODO 3. Tangle the Literate Source
+- Action: Run =emacs --batch --eval '(require (quote ob-tangle))' --eval '(org-babel-tangle-file "~/memex/projects/org-agent/docs/README.org")'=
+- Verification: The command must exit with code 0 and report that blocks were tangled.
+
+** TODO 4. Audit the Physical Lisp Files
+- Action: Read =src/embedding.lisp= and =src/core.lisp=.
+- Verification: Confirm that the text on disk physically matches the fixes made in =README.org= (e.g., =get-embedding= is correct, =start-daemon= skips whitespace).
+
+* Phase C: Quality Gate (The Tester)
+** TODO 5. Run the Lisp Test Suite
+- Action: Execute =sbcl --non-interactive --eval "(asdf:test-system :org-agent)"=
+- Verification: All 13 cognitive tests must pass. If any fail, STOP and return to Phase A.
+
+** TODO 6. Compile the Sovereign Binary
+- Action: Run the manual =sb-ext:save-lisp-and-die= build script.
+- Verification: The binary is generated without fatal compiler errors.
+
+* Phase D: Live Execution (The Sovereign)
+** TODO 7. Clean Restart
+- Action: Kill all stale =org-agent-server= processes and start the new binary in the background.
+- Verification: The log shows =org-agent Kernel Booted Successfully= and =Daemon Listening=.
+
+** TODO 8. Live Model Discovery Test
+- Action: Send =@agent list models= via Emacs batch script.
+- Verification: The daemon log shows the generated Org-mode table of OpenRouter models.

+* Flight Plan: Emacs OACP Outbound Bridge
+:PROPERTIES:
+:STATUS: IN-PROGRESS
+:END:
+
+** Analyst Phase
+The current =org-agent= kernel is a "one-way" sensory system. It receives stimuli from Emacs via OACP but lacks the physical plumbing to send responses back over the same socket. To fix this, we must:
+1. Modify the kernel (literately) to pass the client TCP stream through the cognitive loop.
+2. Implement the =skill-emacs-bridge= logic to capture this stream and perform framed OACP writes.
+3. Update the =skill-chat= to utilize the new bridge.
+
+** Coder Phase
+- [X] Create =inbox/flight-plan-emacs-bridge.org= (this file).
+- [ ] Update =projects/org-agent/docs/README.org= (Literate Kernel) with the stream-passing hook.
+- [ ] Update =notes/org-skill-emacs-bridge.org= to implement the OACP outbound writer.
+- [ ] Tangle the updated files.
+- [ ] Rebuild the daemon binary.
+
+** Tester Phase
+1. Tangle all modified files.
+2. Restart the daemon.
+3. Run the =test-chat.lisp= script to verify two-way communication.
+4. Verify in Emacs =*org-agent-chat*=.

+Refactor the =.env.example= and secure local =.env= to remove the legacy PARA structure and replace it with a generalized, anchor-based architecture. Move towards a unified =MEMEX_DIR= foundation while ensuring portability for different users and folder structures.
+
+* Phase A: Analysis (The Scientist)

+- Current =.env= relies on hardcoded absolute paths (=/home/user/memex/...=).

+* Phase B: Blueprint (The Architect)
+:PROPERTIES:
+:STATUS: PENDING_AUTHORIZATION
+:END:
+** [Coder] Surgical Implementation Tasks
+1. *Generalize .env.example:*
+   - Define =MEMEX_DIR= as the single mandatory anchor.
+   - Use variable references for all sub-directories (e.g., =PROJECTS_DIR="${MEMEX_DIR}/projects"=).
+   - Add documentation explaining how to override these for custom structures.
+2. *Harden Path Resolution (README.org):*
+   - Update =load-all-skills= to use =context-resolve-path= when reading the =SKILLS_DIR= environment variable.
+   - This ensures that if a user sets =SKILLS_DIR="$MEMEX_DIR/notes"=, the Lisp kernel expands it correctly regardless of the OS or username.
+3. *Sync Secure .env (~/.local/share/org-agent/.env):*
+   - Refactor the user's secure file to use this dynamic derivation.
+
+** [Tester] Verification Strategy
+1. *Portability Test:* Temporarily set =MEMEX_DIR=/tmp/memex-test= in the environment and verify that =(org-agent:context-get-skill-source "test")= attempts to read from the correct expanded path.
