Run a panel

The protocol, prompts and file layout are in groundworks/panel/PROTOCOL.md. Read it first. The program is groundworks/panel/panel.py; it decides whether the protocol was followed, not you.

Steps

1. Pick seats and write panel.json in a new runs/<panel_id>/ directory (inside the instance's private data area, never in this repository).
   • Seats are lenses from the instance's roles and lenses. Use distinctive seat ids.
   • Options and objection categories come from the role's panel: entry in instance.yaml.
   • Choose weighted_seat now, or null. Say why in one sentence to the user.
   • Build each seat's evidence packet from its lens view, with locators.
2. python groundworks/panel/panel.py lock runs/<panel_id>
3. Round 1: one subagent per seat, all in one message, using the round-1 prompt. Save each returned answer verbatim to round1/<seat>.md.
4. python groundworks/panel/panel.py anonymize runs/<panel_id>. If it fails, re-prompt only the named seats for their stance line.
5. Round 2: one subagent per seat, all in one message, using the round-2 prompt with round1_anon.md and the seat's own round-1 answer. Save verbatim to round2/<seat>.md.
6. python groundworks/panel/panel.py check runs/<panel_id>. For each OWED line, send the printed re-prompt to that seat only (continue the same subagent when possible), and save its full revised answer over the old file. Repeat. Budget: 2 re-prompts per seat per condition; then stop and report "protocol not satisfied" with the owed list.
7. python groundworks/panel/panel.py tally runs/<panel_id>.
   • Exit 0: write each row of verdicts.jsonl through the instance's write surface as a lens-keyed critique at agent grade.
   • Exit 3 (split): show the human each option's weight and its strongest argument, plus the minority report. Do not write a consensus.
8. Report: seats and weighted seat, result, weights, minority report, enforcement counts, and the "cannot check" list from PROTOCOL.md.

Never

• Edit, trim or summarize a seat's answer before saving it.
• Infer a stance from prose.
• Change panel.json after lock, or delete a lock to re-lock.
• Show anon_map.json or real seat names to a seat in round 2.
• Treat a panel result as evidence. Gates still decide readiness.
