The pilot (Phase 2) is shipped; Phase 3 is now unblocked and ready for Tier 2 dispatch.
5 new files in video_analysis_deob_apply_20260621/:
- spec.md: updated to reference the new files (lightweight scaffold)
- plan.md: 6-phase pipeline (init → read → apply A cluster → apply B cluster → apply C cluster → apply E+D+synthesis → final report + verify) with 25 tasks
- metadata.json: scope, 14 verification criteria, 5-item risk register, 10 user directives
- state.toml: 6 phases + 25 tasks + 10 verification flags + 11 user-directives-logged entries
- TIER2_STARTER.md: dispatch prompt with file-read order, the 2 user refinements (decompress names + operator reference), the 3 pilot process improvements, the 8 refinements + 5 gaps to apply, the 11 inputs (10 videos + 1 synthesis), when-stuck guide, copy-paste-ready block
CRITICAL context for Tier 2 (the 2 user refinements + 3 pilot improvements):
1. **Decompress names AND expressions** (per 2026-06-23): use DESCRIPTIVE names, NOT single letters. Multi-line constructions preferred.
2. **Use the operator reference** (report.md §9): 13 categories of operators with behavior + type signatures. The LLM should consult this when applying the de-obfuscation.
3. **3-column translation tables** (pilot improvement #1)
4. **Tier-categorized decoders** (pilot improvement #2)
5. **Split apply_report.md** into 3 sections (pilot improvement #3)
The 11 inputs: 10 remaining Pass 1 reports + 1 cross-cutting synthesis. Produces 34 deliverables (33 per-video 3-layer files + 1 apply report). This is the FINAL phase of Pass 2 — the result feeds Pass 3 (projection to applied domain, future, user-led).
