#!/usr/bin/env python3 """context_pack.py -- one text a Claude with NO tools can reason from. WHY THIS FILE EXISTS (2026-09-21). The operator's paid seat may lapse. A free Claude chat cannot open files, run commands, read a browser or send mail; it can only read what is pasted and answer. So the measurement has to be carried to it. This gathers, from the tree and its own records, the things a session here reads first, in the order it reads them, and writes ONE file to paste: 1. what commit this is, and whether the working tree is clean 2. the launch gates as covenant_one last printed them (ONE_CHECK / ONE_SWEEP) 3. the sweep tally (suites, checks, failed, RESULT line) 4. the newest self-evaluation block (ops/SELF_EVAL.md, written by the watchdog) 5. the watchdog's last lines 6. the open entries of docs/KNOWN_ISSUES.md (titles only, newest last) 7. the standing method (CLAUDE.md), so the reader works the same way 8. with --private: private/outreach/REPLY_KIT_*.md, which is gitignored and is written to the private folder, never beside the public pack Nothing here runs a node, a sweep or a judge. It reads records; if a record is stale it says the record's date, so the reader can see that too.
