Summary

  • publish the engineering essay “The Transcript Is Not the State: Toward a Semantic IR for Coding Agents”
  • connect evidence-carrying handoffs, linguistic realization, and semantic program representations under one evidence-bounded thesis
  • add channel-specific distribution drafts for LinkedIn, X, Bluesky/Mastodon, Hacker News, Reddit, and GitHub Discussions

Scientific boundary

The essay distinguishes implemented protocol mechanics from architectural inference and an untested semantic-editing hypothesis. It makes no claim that structured handoffs or semantic IRs improve recovery, token use, or Pass@1.

Verification

  • make verify passed
  • Jekyll production build passed
  • 18 site tests passed with 253 assertions
  • social character-limit checks passed
  • generated permalink and internal essay link verified

Local Jekyll previews produced a root _site directory that appeared as a
large untracked change and obscured intentional repository work.

Ignore only the root preview output while retaining the tracked
documentation sources and the existing docs/_site build rule.

If site builds move to another destination, update this narrow rule
alongside the build configuration instead of ignoring broader paths.
The relationship between evidence-carrying handoffs, linguistic realization, and agent-native program representations was not documented in a single evidence-bounded thesis, leaving the project's emerging research direction implicit.

Publish the canonical engineering essay and a channel-specific distribution kit for LinkedIn, X, Bluesky, Hacker News, Reddit, and GitHub Discussions. The essay separates implemented protocol mechanics, architectural inference, and untested efficacy hypotheses.

A future empirical release should replace the proposed semantic-editing comparison with preregistered methods and results only after the experiment is designed, frozen, and executed.
