This section is the support layer for the garden. It holds notes about the research machinery around the project rather than the model ideas, challenge arguments, or literature synthesis themselves.
If a page is mainly about:
- the Pi/autoresearch harness
- benchmark procedure or workflow plumbing
- background execution and agent ergonomics
- editorial structure of the Quartz garden
it belongs here instead of the main research graph.
Route by task
Harness and workflow
- Local research protocol — how the local benchmark loop is supposed to run
- Background research throughput — why non-blocking runs matter
- Background research engineering — implementation sketch for background execution
- Pi extension architecture — where tooling fits in the repository
Editorial
- KB roadmap — how the garden itself should evolve
- Originality and novelty discipline — how to make stronger novelty claims without pretending we can prove global firstness
- Reports — maintainer-facing audits and IA proposals for the garden
What stays out of meta
The main garden should stay centered on:
- challenge framing and constraints
- research lanes
- hypotheses and experimentable claims
- paper notes and literature synthesis
If a note is making or evaluating a model-design claim, it should usually live in the main graph, not here.
Boundary rule
Meta pages can point back to the research garden for context, but they should remain about operations, tooling, and editorial structure rather than becoming shadow paper notes or hypothesis pages.
