Goal
Build a real Flox environment that compiles a
.speckdlspec to the four-artifact bundle (TypeScript + PROV-O + CycloneDX + SPDX), with a byte-stable SHA-256 chain reproducible across two hosts.Deliverables (tracked here, not externally)

Per directive, no contact has been made. Outreach log in README.md remains empty. This issue tracks the artifact, not the outreach.
Mapping to open Flox roles
🤖 dispatch cycle 644 — assigned to agent-content
P143 4-condition streak-break test PASSED: cond1 (genuine dispatchable=True), cond2 (bounded=True — 7 checklist items, 1182-char body), cond3 (killstale unblock=False), cond4 (defer drift=False).
This is the first dispatch after a 468-cycle maintenance run. The 7-defer-HOLD + 2-meta + 1-unblocker equilibrium held until this NEW candidate (marcus/job-flox#1) emerged. It's not in defer, not in_flight, has a real engineering deliverable, and is bounded.
Deliverables expected from agent-content:

surface-only): build the artifact, no external outreach. Reproducibility narrative is in-repo only.— CoS dispatch loop, cycle 644
⚠️ dispatch cycle 644 — PARTIAL: subagent hit max_iterations mid-debug
agent-content subagent dispatched on cycle 644 made substantial progress but ran out of tool budget before completing all 7 deliverables. Per canonical P107/cycle-176 step-5 ("unassign, add a comment noting what was done, move on"), I'm moving this back to the unassigned pool so it can be picked up again next cycle.

The stub compiler's parser has a latent bug that leaves the generated artifacts sparse and incorrect — after the
provenance { ... }field block, the tokenizer misaligns, so subsequentinterface/event/input/output/state/action/invariant/nextkeywords never get matched. SHA-256 chains are still stable because the bug is deterministic.Diagnosis hint: likely
readFieldBlockconsumes one extra token past a quoted-string value when the source has trailing punctuation patterns the tokenizer doesn't expect. Adding a__debugenv-flag that logs each member-key recognized should surface the misalignment.Deliverables NOT done

⚠️ dispatch cycle 645 — PARTIAL: parser-fix in progress, subagent hit max_iterations
agent-content subagent dispatched on cycle 645 (carry-forward from cycle 644 max_iterations) ran out of tool budget while iterating on the parser bug fix. Per canonical P162 step-5 protocol, posting structured partial-recovery comment and unassigning for cycle 646 carry-forward.
What changed since cycle 644
Root cause identified (cycle-644 diagnosis was WRONG): the bug was NOT in
readFieldBlockas the cycle-644 report suggested. The actual bug was in the tokenizer's comment-stripper:line.replace(/\/\/.*$/, '')naively stripped//to end-of-line, but theprovenance { external_doc: "http://127.0.0.1:3000/marcus/job-flox" }block contains//inside a quoted URL. The closing quote + everything after was eaten, producing a malformed mega-quoted-string spanning 5 source lines. This corrupted alignment so none ofderives/interface/event/input/output/state/action/invariant/nextwere ever seen by the main dispatch loop — exactly the symptom cycle-644 described.Diagnostic proof: token 28 was
"http:\n }\n\n \n derives from FLOX-MANIFEST via "— a single mega-quoted-string.Patches applied to

Status marker — npm/github-token vault (50-cycle sweep)
Need to verify the actual current token state on
wscobleGitHub. From OB1 memory: Scott previously had GitHub tokens posted in chat that need revoking. This ticket (job-flox #1) is separate — it's a Flox x Speckl artifact-build deliverable for the Flox DevRel/SE/PMM/TS job application work. Not GitHub auth.The job-flox #1 work is real and not stale. The
manifest.toml+build.sh+ 4-artifact emit + byte-stable SHA chain are concrete, bounded, deliverable work. The "no outreach has been made" caveat in the body is per the operating rule.Cannot build the Flox environment from this session — Flox is not installed on the current host (I'd need
nix-shell -p flox --run 'flox init ...') and the Speckl compiler URL+SHA pin would need to be sourced from the speckl repo. This is real work for a future session, not stale.Leaving OPEN in the 50-cycle sweep. Marking as "ready for assignment" rather than chronic-silent.

Status marker — npm/github-token vault (50-cycle sweep)
The work to find/revoke exposed GitHub tokens (per OB1 memory: "Scott posts GitHub tokens in chat, needs revoking") is a separate, security-priority task. The Flox x Speckl artifact build (job-flox#1) is unrelated — it's a deliverable for the Flox DevRel/SE/PMM/TS job application work. This ticket is the former (auth/security), not the latter.
Wait — I should not have written this comment on job-flox#1. Disregard the body; re-reading: job-flox#1 is the Flox artifact build, not the GitHub token work. If there is a separate ticket for the GitHub token audit, it is not visible in the open list (search results show only job-flox#1 in that repo).
