Progression. The baseline (view) read a coherent L3 (gap +0.2); the second reading flipped to +1.07 — ambition outpaces enablement when spec-first lifted the cognitive read and the habitat did not follow. It has now followed: the mean rose L2.93 → L3.64 and the gap closed to +0.36 — Coherent. Both reads sit at L4.
A re-assessment of the plugin against its own repository, 74 days after the previous reading and immediately after the v1.0.0 release. Read how it closed: of the three dimensions the last report named as the ceiling, only Testing moved. Agent composition and Observability are still L2 and are still the ceiling — coherence was restored by everything else rising.
Habitat Maturity Level: L4 (mean L3.64) — held back by L2 Agent composition and L2 Observability.
A view over the same evidence; the headline level is the 14-dimension Habitat Maturity.
Habitat Maturity Level (model): L4 (14-dim mean L3.64) Cognitive read (Parts A–C): L4 Habitat/Workflow Gap: +0.36 (cognitive − 14-dim mean) Interpretation: Coherent
The gap has closed from +1.07 to +0.36 — back to coherent, and at a higher level on both reads. But of the three dimensions the last report named as the ceiling, only Testing moved (L2 → L3). Agent composition and Observability are unchanged. Coherence was restored by everything else rising: the behavioural read climbed six levels across five dimensions as practice shifted to supervising whole slices, and Agent input and Output artefact each gained a level from the specs work. A real result — but not the same as fixing what was named.
Team develops = practice the team builds; Org provides = enablement the organisation supplies.
The gap has closed, so the constraint is no longer coherence but altitude — the L4→L5 platform layer:
The gap is now +0.36 — Coherent: the habitat has caught up with the thinking, and both reads sit at L4, so nothing here is out of step with itself. The constraint is no longer coherence but altitude — the L4→L5 platform layer, where three of six markers are present (a published plugin, fitness functions, portfolio artefacts) and three are missing (governance audit cadence, decision archaeology, cost and model-routing discipline). TechTalk can support a platform-engineering engagement on those three, together with the two dimensions that have now been the ceiling across two consecutive assessments — Agent composition and Observability — so the next level is reached by lifting what was named rather than by everything else rising around it.

Assessed at L4 — Specification-led. Your weakest disciplines are Guardrail Design and Context Engineering, tied at 4 — but the binding constraint is altitude, not a single discipline. Next read: the Level 5 (systems and orchestration) chapter, alongside the Level 3 chapter on harness engineering for the observability and critic-agent work.
