David Baity 4294018d58 fix: repair corrupted index/log files, fix company_proposal template bugs
- index.md: rebuild with full rejection history and CLO spec
- latest.md: replace garbage with correct cycle state entry
- company_proposal.yml: fix step 1 to output single query (not 3-line text)
  so WebSearcher receives a clean search query instead of multi-line input
- company_proposal.yml: add output_key: index_update to index think step
  so document step source_step: index_update resolves correctly
- strategic_review.yml: add source_step: log_entry to document step
  to be explicit rather than relying on implicit last-step behavior
- research_brief.yml: fix source_step 8->9 (carry forward from prior session)

Proposal Index: Crimson Leaf Holdings

This file is the authoritative list of all company proposals submitted by Edgar. Read this before proposing -- it documents every prior attempt and why it was rejected.

The ONLY authorized gap for new proposals is GAP 1: CLO (Crimson Leaf Operations). CLO is an INTERNAL operations and accounting company -- NOT a client-facing product.


What CLO Must Be (David's Requirements)

  • Type: Internal operations / financial visibility tool
  • Purpose: Give Edgar and David visibility into API costs, revenue, and expenses
  • NOT: A storefront, a publishing platform, a DTC author tool, or any client-facing product
  • The gap: Edgar cannot see costs, revenue, or API expenses. Decisions are made blind.
  • Required: A full professional business plan before David will approve creation.

Rejected Proposals (Do NOT Repeat These)

Ink & Anchor Digital -- Tasks 0d80560c, 13adc48e, 348f8719, 6f86fbb1, 63136109, 857ef6e1, 45dfae65, 4e8bbd4e, f7290270, ccb79de6, c8990e30, c7801662, a47b8efc, 5611a2fc, ceaa0c81, 77a90934, 863cd274, d21cb88c, e828bccd, e16b13ba

Date: 2026-04-26 through 2026-04-29 Status: REJECTED by David Reason: WRONG COMPANY. These proposed a client-facing author storefront ("Indie Author Stack," "DTC author platform," "book marketing hub"). That is NOT CLO. David explicitly rejected all of these. A DTC storefront is NOT the operations gap.

Forge & Flux Digital -- Tasks 63136109, ac60bb87

Date: 2026-04-28 Status: REJECTED by David Reason: WRONG COMPANY. Same class of error as Ink & Anchor -- external product, not internal operations.

Crimson Leaf Incubation Operations -- Task ef311c3b

Date: 2026-04-29 Status: REJECTED (wrong company) Reason: Proposed an incubation tenant architecture system. That is NOT the operations gap. The incubation function is already handled by Edgar under the Holdings charter.

Crimson Leaf Incubation Studio -- Task 4fb6912c

Date: 2026-04-29 Status: REJECTED (wrong company) Reason: Proposed an incubation workflow company. Same error as above. Still not CLO.

Unnamed Incubation Spec -- Tasks 6eb5105b

Date: 2026-04-29 Status: REJECTED (wrong company) Reason: Incubation architecture spec. Not CLO.


Submitted Proposals

(No CLO proposals have been submitted yet. Every proposal above was the wrong company.)


Next Required Proposal

Company: Crimson Leaf Operations (CLO) Slug: crimson_leaf_operations Type: operations Purpose: Internal financial visibility -- cost tracking, revenue tracking, API expense monitoring The proposal MUST include:

  • Web-researched data on operations/accounting software for AI companies
  • Cost model for running CLO (low: it is internal tooling, not a product)
  • How CLO gives Edgar visibility into what decisions to make
  • No client-facing features -- internal only
  • Agents: a CFO-type agent and a reporting agent
  • Templates: weekly_cost_report, api_expense_tracker, revenue_summary
