PacketOps manifest loop

PacketOps turns messy packet review into a visible work cycle.

The PacketOps Manifest Loop creates a document inventory, checks required items, names gaps, builds a readiness object, opens exceptions when needed, and stops at an operator review gate. No fake green lights. No mystery packet fog.

Why this matters

PacketOps is the cleanest proof that loops beat prompts.

A packet either has the required items or it does not. That makes PacketOps a strong demonstration rail for agent-readable work: build the manifest, compare it to requirements, report the gaps, and prepare the review package.

Inventory

Manifest build.

Converts available documents into a structured packet manifest with item IDs and normalized labels.

Open example →

Check

Required items.

Compares available documents against expected documents or a packet-type default list.

Open API →

Exception

Missing items named.

Turns incomplete packets into operator-visible exception objects with next actions.

Open exception example →

Gate

Operator review.

Holds release, waiver, submission, and delivery until the operator makes a decision.

Test path

Two tests prove the packet loop has honest brakes.

A complete packet should reach operator review. A packet missing required documents should open an exception and prepare a missing-item report instead of pretending readiness.

1

Complete packet

POST packet type, expected documents, and matching available documents. Expected state: ready_for_operator_review.

2

Missing document

POST a packet with expected documents not present in the available list. Expected state: exception_open.

3

Operator waiver

Add operator_decision waived_missing_items when a human accepts the gap. Expected state: ready_to_return.

Operator boundary

PacketOps prepares the review. The operator releases the packet.

That is the quiet power of Wever Labs: the agent does the patient work, and the human still holds the pen.
