Priorities

The ranked work queue for the autonomous improvement loop. The architecture-review pass (the architect) owns this file: each run it turns the roadmap plus an internal scan (gaps in the services → agents → workflows lifecycle, API coherence, drift, tech debt, test and DX friction) into a single ordered list — highest-value first — and links each item to a tracking issue. The hourly continuous-improvement pass works the top item whose issue is still open. So the architect decides what, and the increment loop builds it.

Reading / editing. An item is done when its linked issue closes (the increment that builds it adds Closes #<issue>). Roadmap phase (Now → Next → Later) is the primary ordering; internal findings are interleaved by value, not kept in a separate list. The human can reorder this list — or the issues — at any time to redirect the loop; direction always wins.

Off-limits to the loop (the architect proposes these as notes, never as queue items the loop can auto-merge): brand/positioning copy, breaking public-API changes, architectural rewrites. Those go to the human.

Work queue (ranked)

1. Handle AtlasCloud incomplete repaired plan tool calls (#4455) — The latest provider harness failure is in the core services → agents → workflows path: AtlasCloud can complete the workspace and notification side effects, then fail the event-driven onboarding flow on an incomplete repaired plan tool call. Fix this first because it makes the live agent-flow contract unreliable and can mask real provider parsing defects.
2. Fix AtlasCloud tool streaming capability mismatch (#4438) — The provider matrix still advertises AtlasCloud streaming capability beyond its tool-streaming implementation, causing the live agent streaming conformance path to run an unsupported assertion. Fixing the capability/implementation seam keeps streaming honest without blocking no-secret adoption work.
3. Broaden provider streaming conformance (#4386) — Once the provider-specific AtlasCloud failures are resolved, expand the broader streaming matrix so chat, agent RPC, and A2A streaming regressions are caught across keyed providers while local CI continues to skip cleanly without secrets.

Seeded by Claude Code from the roadmap + open issues; thereafter maintained by the architecture-review pass.
