How the checklists learn
The five checklists are living documents. Each study exposes what an item missed, got wrong, or stated too generically — and the fix queues for the next study. This is the practice compounding, in public.

none — a practitioner-directed addition between studies (origin: `docs/brainstorms/2026-07-08-autonomous-headless-study-mode-requirements.md`; plan: `docs/plans/2026-07-08-001-feat-autonomous-headless-study-mode-plan.md`, revised after a…
ProcessPractice queue + N-study batch (headless follow-up)
the first real headless run (commit `0925d85`).
ProcessMaster invert-backtest machinery added (between-studies tooling)
none — a practitioner-directed addition between studies (origin: `docs/brainstorms/2026-07-07-master-invert-backtest-requirements.md`; plan: `docs/plans/2026-07-07-001-feat-master-invert-backtest-plan.md`).
