Every phase verdict this session was Anthropic grading Anthropic, and the boot
log said so on each start:
validator_preflight: no CLAWMATES_VALIDATOR_MODEL — phase verdicts are
judged by the house model, which is NOT an independent check
`evaluator.rs` already preferred a cross-provider judge and refused to call a
same-family one `independent`; the local stack simply had no non-Anthropic
credential. It now carries the same `glm` provider gw-04 has had all along —
`format = "anthropic"` is load-bearing, since z.ai's OpenAI-compatible endpoint
is ToS-throttled for raw SDK access while its Anthropic-format one is not.
Model: glm-5.3, the newest z.ai lists (4.5, 4.5-air, 4.6, 4.7, 5, 5-turbo,
5.1, 5.2, 5.3 as of 2026-08-17). gw-04 still runs glm-4.7.
glm-5.3 is a REASONING model: it emits a `thinking` block before its JSON. Our
SSE parser ignores `thinking_delta` and keeps the text, so the wire shape is
compatible — but on a realistic phase-evidence prompt it spent 819 of the
evaluator's 1024 output tokens. A longer phase would truncate the verdict, and
a truncated verdict parses as empty and FAILS CLOSED, burning one of the
phase's passes on a judge that never answered — precisely how mission 01a00bbb
lost a pass. max_tokens raised to 2048.
Measured before wiring: asked to judge 25 commits claiming INT-01..INT-25 with
tests passing, glm-5.3 returned met=false because the evidence never
established what the brief actually required. That skepticism is the point of
an independent judge.
Boot now reports: `validator_preflight: independent validator glm:glm-5.3
answered`.
The key lives in .env (gitignored), never in this file.

Full-depth rename per the approved plan; the 'claw' product vocabulary
(claws, /claws routes, clawId, Claw Chat) stays — it is now the brand.
- Display brand: Clawmates (manifest, titles, hero, login/rail logo
'clawmates'); default host app.clawmates.work; registry
ghcr.io/clawmates
- Crates tc-* -> cm-* (16 crates + all imports); binaries
clawmates-server/broker/bundler; images clawmates/*; env prefix
CLAWMATES_* (+ CM_TEST_DATABASE_URL / CM_LIVE_LLM); config
clawmates.toml; helm chart deploy/helm/clawmates with clawmates-*
resources; db names clawmates*; sockets /run/clawmates; cookie
cm_session; kind cluster clawmates-test; seccomp node profile
clawmates-agent-profile.json
- All 9 Playwright brand assertions updated in lockstep; historical
spec document left untouched as the only remaining 'TeamClaw'
- Local env migrated: dev pg clawmates-dev-pg/clawmates_dev, shared
test server clawmates-test-pg, kind cluster recreated with image +
profile, compose images rebuilt under clawmates/*
Verified end to end: 161 Rust + 68 frontend tests, 29 Playwright
journeys, 4 live kind tests, helm/install/LOC/placeholder gates, and
the clean-room install rehearsal serving the clawmates login page from
a signed bundle of the rebuilt images.
