 # Loop State — loop-engineering reference
 
-Last run: 2026-07-19T18:55:00Z (scheduled maintenance)
+Last run: 2026-07-20T06:25:53Z (scheduled maintenance)
 
 ## High Priority (loop is acting or waiting on human)
 
 - Maintain loop readiness score ≥ 58 (current: **100**, level **L3**).
-- npm publish in flight after this run: `loop-gate` 1.0.0, `loop-audit` 1.6.1, `loop-mcp-server` 1.1.0 (tags after merge).
-- Configure npm trusted publisher / `NPM_TOKEN` for `@cobusgreyling/loop-gate` if first publish fails.
+- Keep npm packages current after tool changes (tag `loop-audit-v*`, `loop-init-v*`, `loop-cost-v*`, `loop-gate-v*`, `loop-mcp-server-v*` — see docs/RELEASE.md).
 
 ## Watch List
 
 - Expand contributor failure stories (dependency sweeper, multi-loop).
 - Collect a production story for Post-Merge Cleanup.
 - Remaining Cursor doc gaps: [#220](https://github.com/cobusgreyling/loop-engineering/issues/220), [#223](https://github.com/cobusgreyling/loop-engineering/issues/223), [#224](https://github.com/cobusgreyling/loop-engineering/issues/224).
+- Other good-first docs/stories: [#196](https://github.com/cobusgreyling/loop-engineering/issues/196), [#195](https://github.com/cobusgreyling/loop-engineering/issues/195), [#173](https://github.com/cobusgreyling/loop-engineering/issues/173), [#147](https://github.com/cobusgreyling/loop-engineering/issues/147), [#120](https://github.com/cobusgreyling/loop-engineering/issues/120), [#119](https://github.com/cobusgreyling/loop-engineering/issues/119), [#118](https://github.com/cobusgreyling/loop-engineering/issues/118), [#117](https://github.com/cobusgreyling/loop-engineering/issues/117).
 - Validate `loop-init` scaffolds on fresh projects across all patterns.
-- Optional: StackMap outreach [#300](https://github.com/cobusgreyling/loop-engineering/issues/300).
+- Optional: StackMap outreach [#300](https://github.com/cobusgreyling/loop-engineering/issues/300); adopter research [#262](https://github.com/cobusgreyling/loop-engineering/issues/262); resource suggestion [#246](https://github.com/cobusgreyling/loop-engineering/issues/246).
+- `workflow_dispatch` re-runs of release-loop-gate after successful tag publish still fail Publish (version already on npm) — noise only; skip path works on some runs, not all concurrent dispatches.

-- Merged [#307](https://github.com/cobusgreyling/loop-engineering/pull/307) (Devin appendix → closes #200), [#302](https://github.com/cobusgreyling/loop-engineering/pull/302) (starter loop-gate), [#303](https://github.com/cobusgreyling/loop-engineering/pull/303) (MCP loop-gate), [#308](https://github.com/cobusgreyling/loop-engineering/pull/308) (audit/MCP cost fixes).
-- Landed `release-loop-gate.yml` + RELEASE.md docs (supersedes conflicted [#305](https://github.com/cobusgreyling/loop-engineering/pull/305)).
-- Landed loop-worktree week-two story from [#299](https://github.com/cobusgreyling/loop-engineering/pull/299) (story only; matrix noise dropped).
-- Closed draft [#304](https://github.com/cobusgreyling/loop-engineering/pull/304) as superseded.
-- Pruned automated star-history / daily-triage remote branches.
+- Confirmed npm latest: `loop-gate` 1.0.0, `loop-audit` 1.6.1, `loop-mcp-server` 1.1.0, `loop-init` 1.4.0, `loop-context` 1.3.0, `loop-worktree` 1.2.0, `loop-cost` 1.1.0, `loop-sync` 1.0.0, `goal-audit` 1.0.2.
+- Tags present: `loop-gate-v1.0.0`, `loop-audit-v1.6.1`, `loop-mcp-server-v1.1.0`.
+- Merged overnight: [#314](https://github.com/cobusgreyling/loop-engineering/pull/314) star-history chart; prior release fixes [#313](https://github.com/cobusgreyling/loop-engineering/pull/313), [#312](https://github.com/cobusgreyling/loop-engineering/pull/312), maintenance [#311](https://github.com/cobusgreyling/loop-engineering/pull/311).
+- **0 open PRs**; validate-patterns + audit green on main.
+- Daily triage last automated run: 2026-07-17 (weekday cron; next scheduled ~08:00 UTC weekdays).
+- Pruned stale remotes: `automated/star-history-2026-07-20`, `chore/scheduled-maintenance-2026-07-17`.
 
 ## Recent Noise (ignored this run)
 
-- Star-history automation PRs (#309, #310) already merged.
+- Star-history automation PR #314 (merged).
 - StackMap marketing issue #300.
+- Failed `workflow_dispatch` release-loop-gate runs after version already published (packages are on npm via tag push).
+- Contributor good-first issues backlog (docs/stories) — no blocker.
+
+## Post-Run Critique
+
+- High-noise: concurrent release dispatches after successful tag publish.
+- False positives: none this run.
+- Deprioritize: StackMap / adopter research vs. doc good-first issues.
+- Friction: none (main green, no open PRs).
+- Adjustment: prefer tag-push release only; avoid re-dispatching publish for already-released versions.
