colima-task-start procedure — revision 8aa00a11

Procedure colima-task-start · revision 8aa00a11 · 2026-09-12

What this test proves

Inside the colima testbed, a real agent executes prompt AT9 using only public ATM CLI observations. It proves that atm task start writes the started line to the assigner, an out-of-order start reorders the queue, and an unstarted task remains assigned and keeps reminding.

Evidence layout

This procedure is one step of a colima integration run. The agent's unedited prompt-report-1 JSON is retained beside step.json; scripts/integration/render_colima.py renders the panel and aggregate. Historical payloads remain byte-identical and render through the same path.

Changes

The revision sections below list every runner revision that produced committed evidence, newest first. A run whose source revision is not an ancestor of any listed revision links to the revision in effect on its run date and is marked inferred.
