Handbook
L0 — Assisted
Status: Defined (grade a) — interactive mode; no unattended delivery loop. L0 stays flat: no sub-levels, and grades beyond a do not apply to suggestions-only work.

Canonical policy: Autonomy levels (Blueprints).
Building blocks at this level
| Building block | Role at L0 | Handbook link |
|---|---|---|
| Cursor IDE | Human steers each turn; cost-aware planning | Cursor rules and skills |
| blueprints | Cost-aware planning, model tiering, review capacity | Cost-aware planning |

No forge-lcdl patch loop, forge-workcells unattended worker, or Forge Dark Factory PoC applies at L0 — the human is in the loop continuously.

How a human operator steers Cursor to receive bounded Wizard and blueprint suggestions without unattended apply.
- [Human operator]The operator holds continuous control over every initiated change.
- Cursor IDEThe operator steers each interactive agent turn from the IDE.
- Lenses WizardWizard runs in l0_analyst mode with read-only planning intent.
- blueprintsBlueprints supplies cost-aware planning and model tiering guidance.
- [Suggestions / analysis — no unattended apply]Output stays bounded to analysis and proposals the operator reviews.

[Suggestions / analysis — no unattended apply]Gates and evidence
L0 has no Assay gate for unattended runs — every change is human-initiated and human-reviewed in the IDE.
When using the Wizard at l0_analyst, MutationPolicy should remain read-only; downstream automation must not edit artifacts without explicit approval.
Implemented vs planned
| Implemented | Interactive Cursor planning; Wizard L0 analyst mode; cost-aware rules in blueprints |
| Not applicable | Unattended patch units, worker ladder, dual-wiki trace, level-specific assay |
| Planned | N/A — L0 is the baseline interactive posture |
