+Latest completed work includes:
+- Sprint 161 (steps 1849-1853): intake requirements extraction repair
+- Sprint 162 (steps 1854-1858): class emission repair across language generators
+- Sprint 163-165 (steps 1859-1873): strict MCP grammar pipeline, schema normalization,
+  policy gates, manifest drift checks, runtime strict preflight checks

+Current MCP grammar/tooling status:
+- Tool schema coverage: **347 tools**
+- Per-tool grammar files: **347**
+- Dispatch schema branches: **347**
+- Strict grammar CI pipeline: `tools/mcp/run_grammar_ci_checks.sh` (passing)

+| 2026-02-26 | Codex | Sprint 169 implemented for production `run_pipeline` output: Python method receiver normalization (`self`/`cls` stripping), typed parameter/return extraction with text fallback, `__init__` field materialization, list literal handling, stronger C++ queue method typing, Rust/Go/Java method fallback scaffolding, and gate payload hardening (`reason` + `failure_reasons`). Rebuilt `whetstone_mcp` target and validated Python->C++ PriorityQueue sample with `overall_ready=true` plus production loop artifact at `logs/taskitem_runs/production_loop_20260225_181948`. |
