Agent Context

Narration adoption fix, from a live observation on prod session 63c59841 (2026-07-01): the agent opened its FIRST span only at the first Edit (12:17:02), but its first tool call was at 12:16:14 — so 3 orientation actions (bash+read) fell into Unlabeled before any span existed. Operator wants every session to LEAD with an orient span. Change: in docs/agents/index.md '📣 Narrate your trajectory' section, replace 'open the first span at your first unit of work' guidance with a REQUIREMENT that the FIRST span opens BEFORE the first tool call — an Explore or Plan 'orient' span (read the task, scan the code you'll touch) — even on a small task, so nothing lands in Unlabeled at the top of a session. Add a matching bullet. Docs-only, single file (docs/agents/index.md). Regenerate adapters via bin/install-agent-docs post-merge (not committed to repo). Related project_opsd_learning_layer.

Stage Timeline

Who handled each stage, the time it took (measured), and the model / tokens / cost reported (best-effort) — plus who's on it right now. means the agent didn't report that metric.
