Materializes gaps PW-G007 (analytics feedback loop), PW-G008 (live dashboard), PW-G015 (vision-gap intake ledger) from docs/status.html. Inspiration for codex — not a rigid spec.

The vision

The system can't improve what it can't see. Three observability surfaces that close the feedback loop:

Analytics feedback loop (G007): post-merge value / incident / friction signals → automatically create follow-up issues or dispatch another worker loop. The merge isn't the end; it feeds the next cycle.
Live dashboard (G008): docs/status.html evolves from a static snapshot into a live view over layers, artifacts, stale states, and missing evidence — the operator sees real state at a glance (it already self-flags "static snapshot" as a gap).
Gap-intake ledger (G015): operator notes, audits, and red-team findings become tracked gaps (exactly the PW-G### list) instead of vanishing in prose. (This very issue set is the manual version of G015 — automate the intake.)

Why it matters

G007 turns Patchwarden from a gate into a learning loop. G008 makes trust legible (and is the operator's daily window). G015 is how the roadmap stays honest — every audit/red-team finding lands as a trackable item, not a forgotten paragraph.

Inspiration — possible shapes

G007: a post-merge hook/job that reads merge outcome + later signals (incident log docs/incidents.md, CI failures, revert rate) → opens a Forgejo follow-up issue or enqueues a controller job. Deterministic thresholds, not vibes.
G008: the operator_status.v1 data model already exists — a live renderer could read current Forgejo workflow/artifact state into the same shape (the static page stays the fallback / --no-network mode). Keep the static page working (its test forbids network in the static artifact).
G015: a lightweight ledger (the PW-G list) with a CLI to add/track gaps; could generate the status.html "What Is Still Missing" section from data so the ledger and the page never drift (a drift-guard, like we did for module-inventory).

Hard boundaries (safety, not design)

Static status.html must stay network-free + script-free (its test asserts no http(s)://, no <script>, no src=). A live dashboard is a separate surface, not a rewrite that breaks the static artifact.
Analytics auto-creating issues/jobs is an action — keep it bounded, deduplicated, and operator-visible; never auto-merge or mutate based on analytics.
D20 holds; observability reads + reports, it doesn't decide merges.

The HOW is yours

Sequence freely — G015 ledger (cheap, makes the rest data-driven) is a natural first step; G008 live view and G007 loop are larger. Propose shapes; split into PRs.

Status / refs

D21/M2: new capability → M2-gated backlog; the G015 ledger / status-data drift-guard is the most M2-permittable (docs/observability hardening of an existing artifact).

Addressed by #111 as the first Patchwarden-side/read-only slice.

Close basis: patchwarden feedback-intake-check now records value/incident/friction/vision-gap signals and emits read-only follow-up candidates; static status and the gap ledger are present. External issue/job writers and a live dashboard remain tracked as PW-G007/PW-G008/PW-G015 follow-up work in the status artifacts and docs/operations/vision-gap-issue-disposition.md.

Follow-up progress in #111: G015 now has a concrete read-only ledger module.

What landed:

src/patchwarden/vision_gap_ledger.py is the durable PW-G001..PW-G018 source consumed by patchwarden status;
operator_status.py no longer owns the hand-written gap list, so the backlog is not prose-only status data;
tests/test_vision_gap_ledger.py verifies contiguous IDs, required fields, allowed statuses, and that patchwarden status --format json uses the ledger exactly;
docs/status.html, docs/architecture.md, and docs/operations/vision-gap-issue-disposition.md now name the ledger explicitly.

Verification: PYTHONPATH=src:. python3 -m unittest discover -s tests -> 512 tests OK.

Boundary: this is still read-only. External issue/job writers and the live dashboard remain future work, as stated in #111.
