The daemon's CI gate holds every interactor branch with 'no CI flow declared for interactor' (2026-09-20 20:02, branch of ticket ab4b570b9d). Add ci.cr at the repository root following ollama's: plain Crystal, standard library only, run as 'crystal run ci.cr' from the clone root with no arguments; each step's output flows through; exit 0 green, non-zero red. Steps: (1) verify second-question/CHECKSUMS.sha256 against the files it lists (the repo already keeps this manifest in sync; use sha256sum -c from the second-question directory, or compute in Crystal with Digest::SHA256 if sha256sum is absent); (2) python3 -m py_compile on every .py under second-question; (3) fail if any file listed in second-question/MANIFEST.md is missing. No render, no provider call. If CHECKSUMS.sha256 is stale on trunk, regenerate it in this unit and say so in the commit message. Verify by running crystal run ci.cr in the checkout to exit 0.

If the suite is slow, run targeted specs in the foreground, commit, and say the full suite was not run.\n\nCrystal first: this project writes new code and every check in Crystal — never Python (never available here) and Node only where the project's own ci already requires it. Before claiming a library or capability is missing, look it up first: the crystal_stdlib_lookup tool searches the Crystal stdlib index (e.g. crystal_stdlib_lookup(query: \"yaml\") finds `require \"yaml\"`), and shard.yml/shard.lock list every shard already vendored for this project.\n\nConsole Contract self-check (complete before reporting done):\n1. Plan markers: OCX-PLAN role=/parent=/seq= present on every plan-tree ticket.\n2. Status vocab: only Open/Active/Review/Fixed/Tested/Deferred/Closed used.\n3. Acceptance check: every Review-or-later ticket has a concrete verifiable done-when line.\n4. Decision gate: design_input=confirm tickets carry a 3-part ask (question/options/stakes).\n5. Merge gate: GREEN-held work has an OCX-MERGE-GATE card before merging.\n6. Sequence: do not start a later seq item before earlier ones resolve.\n7. Branch: commit to the task branch only; never fossil update/checkout/push.\n8. Report: write the JSON task report to the report path as the FINAL action.\nSee wiki: 'Console Contract' on this repo.\n\nPeers: this project may declare read-only dependencies on sibling served projects (\"peers\"), e.g. a UI project peering a widget library. A declared peer is mounted read-only at /peers/<name> and listed in the OLLAMA_CODEX_PEERS env var (comma-separated) — check it and .peers/peers.json before assuming a dependency is missing. Declare one with the peer_add tool, then commit .peers/*.json. Pull in a peer's newer commit with peer-bump <project> (pins never move on their own). You cannot edit /peers/<name> — request a change via a ticket on that peer project (fossil_ticket_add_to_peer / influence_peer).","provider":"anthropic-sonnet","model":"sonnet","runner_id":"claude","prompt_template":"isolated:agent/20260920T201718Z-declare-the-ci-flow-a-root-ci-cr-that-ve","thread_id":null,"turn_id":null}
