The AI-Assisted Problem Solving (AIPS) architecture formalizes the full lifecycle—from TRIZ-inspired problem framing (Current State vs. Ideal Final Result) to multi-agent Pydantic schemas, orchestration, visual state mapping, and branch exploration.

Core Data Architecture (Steps 1–5a)

Below is the concrete Pydantic schema stack required to define agents, objectives, operational steps, and problem metadata.

from enum import Enum

from pydantic import BaseModel, Field


class ExecutionStatus(str, Enum):

    persona: str = Field(..., description="Behavioral profile, tone, and cognitive bias constraints")
    system_prompt: str = Field(..., description="Core behavioral instructions and guardrails")
    tool_capabilities: List[ToolCapability] = Field(default_factory=list)
    upstream_dependencies: List[str] = Field(
        default_factory=list, 
        description="List of agent_ids whose outputs are required before execution"
    )
    expected_outputs: Dict[str, str] = Field(
        ..., description="Key-value mapping of field name to semantic output specification"
    )


class StepPlan(BaseModel):
    step_id: str
    title: str
    what_to_do: str
    how_to_do: str
    assigned_agent_id: str
    progress_pct: float = Field(default=0.0, ge=0.0, le=100.0)
    status: ExecutionStatus = ExecutionStatus.PENDING
    alternative_branches: Optional[List[str]] = Field(
        default=None, description="Explored alternatives when branched"
    )


class ObjectiveRecord(BaseModel):
    objective_id: str
    title: str
    current_state: str = Field(..., description="Baseline parameters and friction points")
    ideal_final_result: str = Field(..., description="TRIZ IFR: Objective met with zero overhead or harm")
    steps: List[StepPlan]
    achieved_result: Optional[str] = None


class ProblemContext(BaseModel):
    raw_statement: str
    reframed_statement: str
    objectives: List[ObjectiveRecord]
    active_agents: List[AgentMetadata]

Orchestration Engine (Step 5b & 6)

The engine enforces a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) workflow, executing agents only when all upstream_dependencies are resolved.

import networkx as nx

class AIPSOrchestrator:
    def __init__(self, context: ProblemContext):
        self.context = context
        self.graph = nx.DiGraph()
        self._build_graph()

    def _build_graph(self):
        agent_map = {a.agent_id: a for a in self.context.active_agents}
        for agent_id, agent in agent_map.items():
            self.graph.add_node(agent_id, metadata=agent)
            for upstream in agent.upstream_dependencies:
                self.graph.add_edge(upstream, agent_id)
        
        if not nx.is_directed_acyclic_graph(self.graph):
            raise ValueError("Cyclic dependency detected in agent workflow topology.")

    def run_stage(self, objective_id: str, step_id: str) -> Dict[str, Any]:
        """Executes a specific step using the assigned agent and resolved dependencies."""
        obj = next(o for o in self.context.objectives if o.objective_id == objective_id)
        step = next(s for s in obj.steps if s.step_id == step_id)
        agent = next(a for a in self.context.active_agents if a.agent_id == step.assigned_agent_id)
        
        step.status = ExecutionStatus.IN_PROGRESS
        # 1. Collect outputs from upstream dependencies
        # 2. Invoke structured LLM with agent.system_prompt + tools
        # 3. Update step progress
        step.progress_pct = 100.0
        step.status = ExecutionStatus.COMPLETED
        return {"status": "success", "agent_id": agent.agent_id, "step_id": step_id}

Interactive Visual Mind Map & Branch Explorer (Steps 7 & 8)

Below is an interactive console representing the AIPS State Tree. You can inspect the reframed problem, drill down into current vs. IFR states, inspect live execution percentages, and generate alternative execution branches for any step.

{
  "widgetSpec": {
    "height": "600px",
    "prompt": "**Objective:** Render an interactive AIPS (AI Assisted Problem Solving) visual tree explorer that maps the problem hierarchy, step progress, and branch divergence. \n **Data State:** Default problem: Raw: 'Customer churn is increasing.' Reframed: 'The proactive intervention loop fails to detect value decay prior to contract renewal.' Objective 1: 'Automate value decay detection.' Current State: 'Manual bi-monthly CSM check-ins with 18% churn.' IFR: 'Self-monitoring telemetry flags decay instantly with zero CSM overhead.' Steps: 1. 'Telemetry feature pipeline setup' (100%), 2. 'Drift scoring model' (65%), 3. 'Automated retention playbook trigger' (0%). \n **Inputs:** Step selection buttons, 'Generate Alternatives' trigger, and objective toggles. \n **Behavior:** Clicking a step displays its What/How specifics, agent assignment, and current progress. Clicking 'Generate Alternatives' simulates Step 8.a by appending two divergent branches (e.g., 'Path A: Unsupervised anomaly cluster' vs. 'Path B: Rule-based threshold alerts') directly into the mind map view."
  }
}

Final Reporting Template (Step 9)

Once all steps reach 100% progress and validation checks clear, compile the findings into this structured delivery schema:

# AIPS Synthesis Report

## 1. Problem Definition & Evolution
* **Initial Statement:** [Raw user prompt]
* **Reframed Problem Statement:** [Validated underlying bottleneck and scope boundary]

## 2. Objectives & State Transitions
| Objective | Current State (Baseline) | Ideal Final Result (IFR) | Achieved Final Result | Variance / Delta |
| :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **Obj 1** | [Metrics & limitations] | [Theoretical maximum] | [Delivered metrics] | [Gap analysis] |
| **Obj 2** | ... | ... | ... | ... |

## 3. Summary of Accomplishments
* **Key Mechanisms Implemented:** [List core agents, tool integrations, and operational steps]
* **Divergent Decisions:** [Document any alternative paths chosen via Step 8.a]

## 4. Final Position
* Operational stability, resource expenditure vs. baseline, and system readiness.

## 5. Next Steps
1. [Immediate deployment or integration target]
2. [Secondary optimizations or edge-case handling]

Describe the Python workflow to input a user-specified problem statement, then work it

To implement this AIPS pipeline in Python, the workflow relies on structured outputs (pydantic), an orchestration engine (such as LangGraph or a lightweight custom state machine), and an interactive branching loop.

Phase 1: Pipeline Architecture & State Schema

The entire workflow state flows through an immutable or append-only state dictionary/object tracking every transition from raw statement to completion.

from enum import Enum
from typing import Dict, List, Optional
from pydantic import BaseModel, Field


class ExecutionStatus(str, Enum):
    PENDING = "pending"
    IN_PROGRESS = "in_progress"
    COMPLETED = "completed"
    BRANCHED = "branched"


class AlternativePath(BaseModel):
    path_id: str
    description: str
    tradeoffs: str
    estimated_effort: str


class StepPlan(BaseModel):
    step_id: str
    title: str
    what_to_do: str
    how_to_do: str
    assigned_agent: str
    progress_pct: float = 0.0
    status: ExecutionStatus = ExecutionStatus.PENDING
    alternative_branches: List[AlternativePath] = Field(default_factory=list)
    output: Optional[str] = None


class ObjectiveRecord(BaseModel):
    objective_id: str
    title: str
    current_state: str
    ideal_final_result: str  # TRIZ IFR
    steps: List[StepPlan]
    achieved_result: Optional[str] = None


class AgentMetadata(BaseModel):
    agent_id: str
    role: str
    system_prompt: str
    tools: List[str] = Field(default_factory=list)


class AIPSState(BaseModel):
    initial_statement: str
    reframed_statement: Optional[str] = None
    objectives: List[ObjectiveRecord] = Field(default_factory=list)
    agents: Dict[str, AgentMetadata] = Field(default_factory=dict)
    execution_log: List[str] = Field(default_factory=list)

Phase 2: Workflow Stages (Step-by-Step Implementation)

1. Input & Framing (Steps 1–4)

We ingest the raw statement, prompt an analyst agent to reframe the core contradiction, extract current constraints vs. Ideal Final Result (IFR), and decompose the path into operational steps.

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI()

def reframe_and_decompose(initial_statement: str) -> tuple[str, List[ObjectiveRecord]]:
    """Reframes the problem statement and builds the TRIZ IFR objective model."""
    
    class FramingOutput(BaseModel):
        reframed_statement: str
        objectives: List[ObjectiveRecord]

    completion = client.beta.chat.completions.parse(
        model="gpt-4o-2024-08-06",
        messages=[
            {
                "role": "system",
                "content": (
                    "You are an expert systems engineer specializing in TRIZ problem reframing. "
                    "Reframe the user's statement to expose underlying bottlenecks. "
                    "For each objective, articulate the Current State, the Ideal Final Result (IFR), "
                    "and the specific What/How steps to close the delta."
                ),
            },
            {"role": "user", "content": initial_statement},
        ],
        response_format=FramingOutput,
    )
    res = completion.choices[0].message.parsed
    return res.reframed_statement, res.objectives

2. Dynamic Agent Instantiation (Step 5)

Based on the required steps, dynamically assemble specialized agent personas with bounded scopes.

def generate_agent_roster(objectives: List[ObjectiveRecord]) -> Dict[str, AgentMetadata]:
    """Inspects step requirements and generates purpose-built agents."""
    
    class RosterOutput(BaseModel):
        agents: List[AgentMetadata]

    summary_of_work = "\n".join(
        [f"Step {s.step_id}: {s.title} ({s.how_to_do})" for obj in objectives for s in obj.steps]
    )

    completion = client.beta.chat.completions.parse(
        model="gpt-4o-2024-08-06",
        messages=[
            {
                "role": "system",
                "content": "Create precise agent metadata definitions to fulfill these steps.",
            },
            {"role": "user", "content": summary_of_work},
        ],
        response_format=RosterOutput,
    )
    return {a.agent_id: a for a in completion.choices[0].message.parsed.agents}

3. Execution Engine with User Interaction (Steps 6 & 8)

Execution iterates through steps. At any point, the user can inspect progress, pause, or query two or more alternative paths for a given step before running it.

def generate_step_alternatives(step: StepPlan) -> List[AlternativePath]:
    """Implements Step 8.a: generates divergent paths for a specific step."""
    
    class AlternativesOutput(BaseModel):
        paths: List[AlternativePath]

    completion = client.beta.chat.completions.parse(
        model="gpt-4o-2024-08-06",
        messages=[
            {
                "role": "system",
                "content": "Generate at least two radically divergent strategies for this task.",
            },
            {"role": "user", "content": f"Step: {step.title}\nHow: {step.how_to_do}"},
        ],
        response_format=AlternativesOutput,
    )
    return completion.choices[0].message.parsed.paths


def execute_step(step: StepPlan, agent: AgentMetadata) -> str:
    """Invokes the assigned agent to execute the step."""
    response = client.chat.completions.create(
        model="gpt-4o-2024-08-06",
        messages=[
            {"role": "system", "content": agent.system_prompt},
            {"role": "user", "content": f"Execute: {step.what_to_do}\nMethod: {step.how_to_do}"},
        ],
    )
    step.progress_pct = 100.0
    step.status = ExecutionStatus.COMPLETED
    step.output = response.choices[0].message.content
    return step.output

4. Mind Map & Status Rendering (Step 7)

Before and during execution, format the hierarchy into an ASCII/Tree mind map:

def render_mind_map(state: AIPSState):
    """Outputs an indented mind map of problem resolution progress."""
    print("\n" + "=" * 60)
    print("AIPS Mind Map View")
    print("=" * 60)
    print(f"1. Initial Problem: {state.initial_statement}")
    print(f"2. Reframed: {state.reframed_statement}")
    print("3. Objectives:")
    for i, obj in enumerate(state.objectives, 1):
        print(f"   3.{i} {obj.title}")
        print(f"       - Current State: {obj.current_state}")
        print(f"       - Ideal Final Result (IFR): {obj.ideal_final_result}")
        print("       - Operational Steps:")
        for s in obj.steps:
            status_icon = "✓" if s.progress_pct == 100 else "○"
            print(f"           [{status_icon}] {s.step_id}: {s.title} ({s.progress_pct:.0f}%)")
            if s.alternative_branches:
                for b in s.alternative_branches:
                    print(f"               ↳ Branch: {b.description}")
    print("=" * 60 + "\n")

Phase 3: The End-to-End Orchestrator

This top-level controller wires the stages into a unified command-line workflow:

def run_aips_workflow():
    # Step 1: Ingest
    raw_input = input("Enter problem statement: ").strip()
    state = AIPSState(initial_statement=raw_input)

    # Step 2-4: Reframing, IFR, and Steps
    print("\n[Reframing and identifying Ideal Final Results...]")
    state.reframed_statement, state.objectives = reframe_and_decompose(state.initial_statement)

    # Step 5: Agent Definition
    print("[Synthesizing Agent Roster...]")
    state.agents = generate_agent_roster(state.objectives)

    # Step 7: Initial Visual View
    render_mind_map(state)

    # Step 6 & 8: Perform & Interactive Steering
    for obj in state.objectives:
        for step in obj.steps:
            # Step 8.a: Check for user intervention
            action = input(f"Run Step '{step.title}'? [Y/branch/skip]: ").strip().lower()
            
            if action == "branch":
                branches = generate_step_alternatives(step)
                step.alternative_branches = branches
                print("\nAvailable Alternatives:")
                for idx, b in enumerate(branches, 1):
                    print(f"  {idx}. {b.description} (Effort: {b.estimated_effort})")
                choice = int(input("Select alternative index: ")) - 1
                step.how_to_do = branches[choice].description
                step.status = ExecutionStatus.BRANCHED

            # Execute
            agent = state.agents.get(step.assigned_agent, list(state.agents.values())[0])
            print(f"\n[Agent '{agent.role}' executing '{step.title}'...]")
            execute_step(step, agent)
            render_mind_map(state)

    # Step 9: Synthesize Final Report
    print("\n" + "#" * 60)
    print("FINAL SYNTHESIS REPORT")
    print("#" * 60)
    print(f"Reframed Problem: {state.reframed_statement}\n")
    for obj in state.objectives:
        print(f"Objective: {obj.title}")
        print(f"  - IFR: {obj.ideal_final_result}")
        print("  - Accomplished Steps:")
        for s in obj.steps:
            print(f"    * {s.title}: {s.output[:120] if s.output else 'Done'}...")
    print("\nNext Steps: Ready for operational deployment or secondary edge refinement.")


if __name__ == "__main__":
    run_aips_workflow()

Key Production Enhancements

Component	Recommendation
State Persistence	Wrap AIPSState in a SQLite/PostgreSQL checkpoint (e.g., via langgraph.checkpoint.sqlite) so runs can pause for hours during manual step reviews.
Graph Validation	Use networkx.DiGraph to detect cyclic dependencies before agents run steps concurrently.
Tool Calling	Bind tools (pydantic.BaseModel schemas) directly to the step-assigned agents so they can hit databases, APIs, or sandboxed bash shells directly during execute_step.

How the Workflow Operates

Step	Engine Function	Gemini Call Mechanics
1–4	reframe_and_decompose()	Generates structured JSON adhering to ProblemFramingResponse. Automatically extracts TRIZ Current State, IFR, and operational steps.
5	synthesize_agents()	Generates a list of AgentMetadata entities (role, persona, system prompt) tailored to the exact step needs.
6 & 4.e	execute_step()	Invokes the model as the dynamically created agent using its specific system_prompt.
7	render_mind_map()	Computes progress percentages, hierarchical structure, and active branches into an indented tree layout.
8.a	request_step_alternatives()	Generates two or more alternative methods for any step and modifies the execution graph on the fly.
9	save_markdown_files()	Writes the timestamped operations log to worklog.md and the final synthesis report to final_report.md.

Make this an iterative solver, with subject matter expert(s), evaluator, critic(s), trouble shooter(s), and score and time keeper

This iterative version of the AI-Assisted Problem Solving (AIPS) architecture incorporates a full multi-agent review council into an autonomous feedback loop:

• Subject Matter Expert (SME): Drafts the core technical solution and artifact deliverables.

• Critic: Audits assumptions, identifies fragility, edge-case blind spots, and points of failure.

• Troubleshooter: Formulates concrete remediation patches directly addressing the Critic's vectors.

• Evaluator: Inspects current vs. Ideal Final Result (IFR) convergence, assigns metric scores, and triggers the PASSED / REVISE condition.

• Score & Time Keeper: Accurately measures execution latency per iteration and maintains an audit trail across all revision cycles.

Provide an executive summary of this application

Executive Summary: Autonomous Iterative Problem Solver (AIPS)

The AI-Assisted Problem Solving (AIPS) platform is an enterprise-grade, agentic orchestration engine designed to decompose ambiguous operational challenges, autonomously engineer rigorous solutions, and self-correct via a multi-agent review council.

By combining TRIZ systems engineering principles with the Google Gemini API (google-genai SDK) and type-safe Pydantic structured schemas, AIPS moves beyond single-shot prompt-and-response paradigms into an auditable, high-assurance solution lifecycle.

Key Capabilities & Architecture

Stage	Mechanism	Business & Technical Value
1. Problem Reframing & IFR	TRIZ Contradiction Analysis	Reframes symptom-level complaints into systemic bottlenecks. Defines the baseline Current State against an Ideal Final Result (IFR)—the theoretical maximum benefit with minimal friction.
2. Dynamic Agent Council	Multi-Agent Specialization	Automatically configures dedicated agent personas per operational step, including:

• Subject Matter Expert (SME): Drafts technical artifacts.

• Critic: Audits fragility, edge cases, and systemic trade-offs.

• Troubleshooter: Formulates engineering remediation patches.

• Evaluator: Scores IFR convergence (0–100 scale). |

3. Iterative Feedback Loop

• Automated Quality Gates
• Enforces a strict scoring threshold (e.g., >= 85/100). Sub-threshold solutions are rejected and routed to the Troubleshooter and SME for targeted revision before approval.

4. Human-in-the-Loop Steering

• Dynamic Branching (8.a)
• Allows operators to inspect a live ASCII Mind Map and branch any step into two or more distinct strategic alternatives before execution.

5. Auditability & Telemetry

• Score & Time Keeper
• Accurately logs iteration cycle latencies, score progressions, and reviewer rationales. Generates production Markdown deliverables (worklog.md and final_report.md).

Core Differentiators

• Elimination of Hallucination Drift: Pydantic-enforced schemas (ProblemFramingResponse, CriticReview, EvaluatorScore) constrain agent output to parseable, typed structures at every stage.

• Adversarial Self-Correction: Solutions are not accepted on the first pass; they must survive deliberate vulnerability analysis by the Critic and remediation validation by the Troubleshooter.

• Deterministic Governance: Decision-makers receive not just a proposed answer, but a complete audit trail documenting what was rejected, why it was revised, and how long each cycle took to converge.

From <https://gemini.google.com/app/71b091812d864c4e>  Google Gemini (3.8 Flash)

Consider this entire conversation. Is there a way to make this application more flexible and more capable, possibly re-assessing workflow as the problem is worked?

To evolve AIPS from a linear, predefined pipeline into an autonomous, self-steering meta-workflow, the system must shift from executing a static plan to treating the plan itself as a mutable, hypothesis-driven model.

In the current implementation, steps are generated upfront during decomposition and executed sequentially. In complex domains, however, solving Step 2 often uncovers hidden constraints that invalidate Step 4 or reveal entirely new objectives.

Here is how to architect dynamic workflow re-assessment, along with five architectural upgrades to maximize flexibility and capability.

Core Architectural Shift: From Fixed Pipeline to ReAct/OODA Loop

Instead of running a unidirectional path:

Decompose} ----> Execute Step 1} ----> ... ----> Execute Step  N ----> Report

AIPS becomes an adaptive state graph driven by an Orchestrator-Governor Agent:

Key Capabilities to Add

1. The Dynamic Workflow Governor (Plan Mutation)

After every step completion, a Governor Agent evaluates the newly generated artifact against the remaining roadmap.

• Step Pruning: If Step 1 discovers that a SaaS billing API already supports multi-currency natively, Step 3 ("Build custom currency conversion layer") is pruned automatically.

• Dynamic Step Injection: If Step 2 uncovers unexpected rate-limiting or data-corruption risks, the Governor injects Step 2.5: Implement Redis token-bucket throttling and fallback queues before proceeding.

• IFR Calibration: If early investigation reveals the original Ideal Final Result was either trivially under-scoped or physically impossible given the constraints, the model formally renegotiates the IFR with the user.

2. Graph-Based Dependency Execution (Directed Acyclic Graph)

Linear lists of steps (steps: List[StepPlan]) are replaced with a DAG (e.g., using networkx or LangGraph):

• Steps without shared dependencies run in parallel (e.g., database profiling and frontend UX auditing run simultaneously).

• Dynamic branching doesn't just swap out a single prompt—it can spawn an entire subtree of exploratory tasks.

3. Epistemic Confidence & Hypothesis Testing (Pre-flight Probing)

Before committing the full council to multi-iteration problem-solving on a large step, the engine dispatches a Prober Agent:

• Generates cheap, quick validation checks (e.g., calling an API, querying a database schema, running a 5-line Python script).

• If the hypothesis fails (e.g., "Assumed database is Postgres 15, but probe reveals it's MySQL 8"), the workflow pivots before expensive drafting cycles begin.

4. Dynamic Multi-Critic Councils (Persona Diversity)

Rather than a single monolithic "Critic", the council dynamically instantiates domain-specific critics tailored to the active step:

• Security Critic: Audits auth flows, OWASP vulnerabilities, and least-privilege violations.

• FinOps / Cost Critic: Audits AWS bills, LLM token overhead, and compute feasibility.

• Usability / Ergonomics Critic: Audits customer experience and developer friction.

5. Tool-Use Integration (Action Grounding)

The system currently generates static text proposals. Equipping agents with direct tool access via Gemini’s function_calling enables real execution:

• Sandbox Code Execution: Running the proposed SQL script, benchmarks, or unit tests in an isolated Docker container or Python subprocess.

• Web/Telemetry Fetching: Checking live status pages or reading documentation directly to verify technical claims.

Implementation: The Dynamic Workflow Governor Schema

Here is the concrete schema and orchestration logic that enables live plan re-assessment in Python:

from enum import Enum
from typing import List, Optional
from pydantic import BaseModel, Field


class PlanMutationType(str, Enum):
    NO_CHANGE = "NO_CHANGE"
    INJECT_STEPS = "INJECT_STEPS"
    REMOVE_STEPS = "REMOVE_STEPS"
    REVISE_DOWNSTREAM_STEPS = "REVISE_DOWNSTREAM_STEPS"
    PIVOT_OBJECTIVE_IFR = "PIVOT_OBJECTIVE_IFR"


class PlanMutationDirective(BaseModel):
    mutation_type: PlanMutationType
    rationale: str = Field(..., description="Why the just-completed step requires altering the workflow.")
    steps_to_remove: List[str] = Field(default_factory=list, description="List of step_ids to prune")
    steps_to_inject: List[StepPlan] = Field(default_factory=list, description="New steps to insert immediately next")
    revised_ifr: Optional[str] = Field(None, description="Updated IFR if the goal was fundamentally recalibrated")
    should_pause_for_human: bool = Field(
        default=False, 
        description="True if the plan change is radical enough to require explicit operator sign-off"
    )

Dynamic Re-Assessment Hook

This method runs immediately after every step evaluation completes:

def reassess_workflow(self, completed_step: StepPlan, obj: ObjectiveRecord) -> PlanMutationDirective:
    """Evaluates whether the newly produced artifact invalidates or alters downstream plans."""
    
    remaining_steps = [s for s in obj.steps if s.status == ExecutionStatus.PENDING]
    
    prompt = f"""

    Ideal Final Result (IFR): {obj.ideal_final_result}

    Step ID: {completed_step.step_id}

    REMAINING PLANNED STEPS:
    {[{'id': s.step_id, 'title': s.title, 'how': s.how_to_do} for s in remaining_steps]}
    
    CRITICAL DECISION:
    Based on the findings in the completed step:
    1. Did we uncover constraints, facts, or risks that invalidate any planned steps?
    2. Do we need to inject intermediary steps (e.g., diagnostics, safety checks, alternative designs)?
    3. Did the target IFR change based on discovered realities?
    
    Determine whether to proceed as planned (NO_CHANGE) or mutate the workflow.

Comparison: Static Pipeline vs. Adaptive Governor

Dimension	Initial AIPS Implementation	Dynamic Adaptive AIPS
Execution Topology	Rigid sequential list ($1 \to 2 \to 3$)	Mutable DAG with dynamic insertion & pruning
Assumption Handling	Frozen at step 0 during initial framing	Re-tested at the end of every council cycle
Handling Discovery	Output pasted into final report regardless of mid-stream contradictions	Plan automatically adjusts; branches or prunes invalid paths
Review Council	Static single Critic + Evaluator	Specialized Critics (Security, Cost, Performance) spawned on demand
Human Interaction	Simple binary choice: proceed or pick alternative	Autonomous branching with optional human escalation for major pivots
Output Integrity	High verification for the initial hypothesis	Continuous alignment with discovered reality

Implement the complete Dynamic Governor code into the main script, while disabling the human-in-the-loop part

Here is the complete, autonomous Python application. It integrates the full AIPS Review Council (SME, Critic, Troubleshooter, Evaluator, Score & Time Keeper) with the Dynamic Workflow Governor.

All human-in-the-loop prompts have been removed: the engine autonomously runs the steps, audits each deliverable, mutates the remaining roadmap (pruning, injecting, or recalibrating) based on runtime discoveries, and saves worklog.md and final_report.md.

Key Operational Changes

Component	Functionality
No Human Prompts	input() branching prompts have been stripped out. The engine processes steps sequentially while dynamically mutating the list in-flight.
PlanMutationDirective	Structured JSON schema returned by the Governor that instructs the engine to prune steps (steps_to_remove), insert immediate sub-steps (steps_to_inject), or recalibrate the TRIZ IFR (revised_ifr).
Dynamic while Loop	The pipeline iterates through obj.steps using an index rather than a static for loop, allowing new steps injected at runtime to execute naturally before moving to downstream items.
Pruning vs. Execution	Obsolete steps are marked PRUNED and displayed as [--] in the Mind Map and final report matrix, preserving an audit trail of decisions made mid-run.
Markdown Persistence	worklog.md contains the raw timestamped trace; final_report.md contains the full breakdown of governor mutations, scores, execution durations, and final artifacts.
