ooo evolve - Evolutionary Loop

Start, monitor, or rewind an evolutionary loop that refines the ontology and acceptance criteria across generations.

Gen 1: Seed → Execute(all ACs) → Judge → Gate
Gen 2+: Wonder(failed ACs) → Reflect(active ACs only) → Execute(active) → Gate(all)
...until the gate passes, the loop stagnates, or 30 generations are reached

Usage

ooo evolve "build a task management CLI"              # start
ooo evolve "build a task management CLI" --no-execute # ontology-only (fast)
ooo evolve --status <lineage_id>                      # lineage status
ooo evolve --rewind <lineage_id> <generation_number>  # rewind

Instructions

Loading MCP tools (deferred-schema guard)

Ouroboros tools may be deferred, and a schema loaded on one turn can unload by the next. Immediately before each ouroboros_* call, load it with the active runtime's tool-discovery capability: "+ouroboros evolve" for ouroboros_evolve_step, ouroboros_lineage_status, and ouroboros_evolve_rewind; "+ouroboros interview" for ouroboros_interview; "+ouroboros seed" for ouroboros_generate_seed; "+ouroboros lateral" for ouroboros_lateral_think. A call whose schema is not loaded fails with "Invalid tool parameters". If the tool is already callable, discovery is a no-op and an empty result is expected. Use the fallback only when the tool is genuinely absent.
