Hand-curated snapshot of running / queued / blocked / recently completed / coming soon across the Vela research program.

title: "Research Pipeline — Status" description: "What's running, queued, blocked, and recently completed across the Vela research program." status: v1 publishedAt: 2026-04-29 authors: ["Mike West"]

v1 — hand-curated snapshot as of 2026-04-29. Distinct from RESEARCH-PROGRAM.md, which is the design plan. This is the page-of-record for what is happening now. Auto-generation is queued (ASN-980); the hand-curated cadence is per session-of-record until then.

Running

In flight this week. Each item has an active commit log under git log -- docs/research/ or in the assignment queue.

Queued

Designed, scoped, or specified — not yet started. Filed in docs/AGENT-ASSIGNMENTS.md.

  • Methodology peer-review tier — academic-grade companion to this v1 surface methodology. Not yet filed; flagged in the 2026-04-29 research-surface handoff as future work after a second thread reaches the depth bar.
  • Christianity-sex-shame audience-tier reviews (×3) — peer-review, engineering, product framings of the literature-review + research notes. ASN-955.
  • Research surface — outside-reader Overview — one-pager distinct from RESEARCH-PROGRAM.md. ASN-957.
  • Museum diversity-of-beauty — questions doc — bootstrap of the thread; three sub-questions framed; downstream analysis ASN follows. ASN-958.
  • Museum diversity sub-question (a) — actual analysis — cross-museum corpus diversity; preregistration commits before analysis runs. ASN-981.
  • Pipeline auto-generation — script reads from AGENT-ASSIGNMENTS.md + git log + instrument-validation/ and regenerates this page. ASN-980.
  • Theological-coherence intervention — RCT protocol frozen at docs/research/protocols/theological-coherence-intervention-v0.1.md; recruitment + IRB pending.
  • RQ-program proposed studies — twelve research questions enumerated in docs/RESEARCH-PROGRAM.md; per-study designs queued at docs/research/proposed-studies.md.

Blocked

Each blocker is named, with the assignment that would unblock it.

  • Adaptive engine — corpus thin on ratings. Most active units carry zero human responses; the 2026-04-24 instrument-validation snapshot reports 1,263 of 1,325 active units at the 0.25 neutral-prior floor (95.3%). Unblocks via: ASN-567 (decomposition-seeding for zero-response units) plus ASN-576..581 (participant recruitment).
  • Test-retest stability not reportable. user_desire_profiles stores only the latest version; no historical snapshots exist. Unblocks via: ASN-572 (user_desire_profile_versions table — deferred).
  • experience_unit_relations graph empty. R8 redundancy-penalty design exists at code level but the cross-unit relation table has no rows. Unblocks via: ASN-08 / R8 (relation-graph build pass).
  • Boundary-rule schema mismatch. Live user_boundary_rules uses tag_value; the R1 spec defines rule_value + source_unit_id + strength. Forward migration needed. Unblocks via: ASN-12.
  • Cross-thread peer-review framing premature. The cross-thread audience-tiers slots in the portfolio manifest stay forthcoming until at least a second thread (text-aesthetic? Boudoir Studios?) reaches christianity-sex-shame depth.

Coming soon

Next 1–2 weeks, in priority order.

  1. Manifest live for methodology + pipeline on peopleanalyst.com/research/vela (this commit + manifest update at peopleanalyst-site).
  2. ASN-957 Overview + ASN-958 Museum-diversity bootstrap — both slated for the next session pass; both small.
  3. ASN-955 Christianity-sex-shame three reviews — substantive critical writing; its own session.
  4. ASN-665 bulk Vela ingest completion — currently 117/274; full coverage feeds retrieval.
  5. Recruitment push — the binding constraint on instrument validation, adaptive engine maturation, and any preregistered analysis.
