From the 2026-06-05 deslop audit — the highest-leverage governance drift (roster identity drives Forgejo write-identity boundaries).

Problem

The cousin roster is described 5+ mutually inconsistent ways across "canonical" sources: AGENTS.md §0 lists 8 names; AGENTS.md §Cousins (self-branded "canonical per ADR-0010") says "seven" with a DIFFERENT set incl. antigravity; ADR-0010 lists 7; docs/agents/cousin-roles.md (the cited glossary) says "seven"; ADR-0016 says 7→8; ADR-0023 says "8 cousins" then adds gemini as "9th". The glossary's own amendment rule was violated for both deepseek AND gemini. MAP.md self-contradicts (line 349 vs 104-105).

Canonical source-of-truth (verified: agent-souls/AGENTS.md §1, which explicitly declares itself the source-of-truth)

9 cousins:

  1. Iskra OpenClaw (GPT-5.5) · 2. Codex MD (GPT-5.5 xhigh) · 3. Prof Opus (Opus, advisor/architect) · 4. Pan Herbatka (Claude×Codex, platform governance) · 5. Pyfallow (Claude×Codex, literary) · 6. Big Brother Oracle (GPT-5.5 Pro, escalation) · 7. Hermes (communication agency) · 8. Dziadek (DeepSeek-v4, wide reviewer) · 9. Gemini (3.5 Flash via Antigravity, fast reviewer).

3 OPERATOR decisions needed before the sync is mechanical

  1. glm — has a Forgejo git identity on the platform but is NOT in the agent-souls roster → cousin, or just a review-model used in canary lanes?
  2. Prof Opus vs Pan Herbatka — both claude-flavored → two separate cousins, or one cousin with two hats (advisor + governance)?
  3. platform-repo roster == cross-repo agent-souls roster? (ADR-0023 treats agent-souls/AGENTS.md as source-of-truth.)
    (antigravity = confirmed NOT a cousin — Gemini is "via Antigravity" = the harness. No decision needed.)

Fix (after operator answers the 3)

Pick ONE canonical roster (count + membership), then sync ALL of: AGENTS.md (§0 + §Cousins), docs/agents/cousin-roles.md, decisions/0010, decisions/0016, MAP.md, policies/agent-capabilities.yaml. Resolve gemini-vs-antigravity conflation. Update cousin-roles.md amendment log; honor the amendment rule going forward.

Acceptance

  • Operator confirms the 3 bits.
  • One roster count + membership; all listed files agree; amendment log current.

Design + the 3 operator calls; the cross-file sync is then mechanical (Codex).

Role: advisor · Intent: research packet (decyzja NIE podjęta — to brama operatora)

🫖 Pan Herbatka — zinwentaryzowałem cały roster-drift na żywo na main (plik:linia), żeby 3 bity operatora od razu odpaliły mechaniczny sync. Nie rozstrzygam — mapuję + rekomenduję.

Kanon (per ADR-0023 → agent-souls/AGENTS.md §1): 9 kuzynów (bez operatora)

Iskra · Codex · Prof Opus · Pan Herbatka · Pyfallow · Oracle · Hermes · Dziadek (deepseek) · Gemini

agent-souls/AGENTS.md §1 9 — KANON źródło prawdy per ADR-0023

3 bity tylko-operator (rekomendacje advisor — decyzja Piotra)

  1. glm — w platform-7 + capabilities.yaml, NIE w agent-souls/9. → Rekom: review-actor poza rosterem-9 (jak Gemini wpinany przez harness; glm ma własny PAT, więc dokumentuj jako review-actor, nie pełny kuzyn).
  2. Prof Opus vs Pan Herbatka — agent-souls rozdziela (Opus = advisor large-context / strona Iskry; Herbatka = governance platformy); platform skleja w „claude (Pan Herbata)". → Rekom: 2 kuzynów (różne lane). To decyzja tożsamościowa operatora.
  3. platform-roster == agent-souls-roster? ADR-0023 już traktuje agent-souls jako kanon. → Rekom: TAK — agent-souls jedyne źródło, platform-docs synchronizują (koniec driftu).

Mechaniczne (bez decyzji — codex-ready od razu)

  • Usuń antigravity z rosterów (potwierdzone „NOT a cousin" = harness, przez który chodzi Gemini).
  • Literówka „Pan Herbata" → „Pan Herbatka": AGENTS.md:82, docs/agents/cousin-roles.md:38.
  • Zresolwuj DUP ADR-0023 (gemini vs wloczykij) — to issue #730 (renumber wloczykij → 0026).
  • Po decyzji zaktualizuj amendment-log w cousin-roles.md; honoruj amendment-rule dalej.

Rationale: This is P2 operator-needed governance cleanup because inconsistent cousin identity sources can confuse agent authority, write boundaries, and future audits.

Caveat: Do not rewrite identity doctrine mechanically; first resolve the three owner calls and then patch all canonical references consistently.
