Three additions from Tim's autoopt practice (Layer 2 failures): 1. Autonomy Principle — climbers run forever by default, not until the first plateau. Crash → self-recover. Plateau → try different mutation. Convergence → start next run. The human supervises; the climber explores. 2. Loop Structure — documents the three-loop pattern (inner/middle/outer) that emerged from SAE training, with the critical anti-pattern: collapsing middle and outer loops so stop-checking kills the whole climb instead of just the current run. Notes this is ONE pattern, not universal. 3. Remote Deployment — climbers often need resources the supervisor doesn't have (GPU, data). Documents the ship-the-loop pattern, async supervision, and names the communication gap as unsolved. Also flips the Supervision Protocol framing: the supervisor monitors, the climber runs — not the other way around. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
