 ## Next change
 
-Continue **Phase 2** in [tasks/plan.md](tasks/plan.md) (checklist: [tasks/todo.md](tasks/todo.md)). That is a CI-gated hill climb on the existing evaluator. Do not start by splitting `skill_eval_loop.py`.
+Harness adapters, judging, and domain tests now have owners. `skill_eval_loop.py` is still ~2k lines; load models still serialize to dicts before the rest of the pipeline. Do not split further until a later change needs a new owner.
+
+The remaining evidence gate is Task 10: a repeated-trial promotion run on an independently controlled, human-labeled holdout. Do not invent that holdout here.
