Project Lifecycle Is History, Not a Badge

A useful lifecycle field records an engineering state and its transitions rather than acting as a decorative label.

Engineering provenance

Derived from project work

This knowledge is connected to project records in the Lab, keeping ideas traceable to engineering work.

  • Astra ↗

    A modular developer QA and automation engine with explicit subsystem boundaries and a compatibility-tested core.

  • VAJRA ↗

    A local-first, model-agnostic autonomous engineering runtime built around durable runs, trusted execution and independent verification.

A project lifecycle is meaningful when it answers two questions: where is the work now, and how did it get here?

The Lab therefore keeps publication status, current lifecycle and lifecycle history separate. The history is repository-backed and reviewable instead of being inferred from a dashboard.
